The next day at noon.
Song Qiuxue finished lunch at the Tang family's house before packing up and going home.
Everyone in the Tang family, except for Zhou Qiaoyun and her son, was incredibly enthusiastic.
They were serving her food and pouring her soda.
When Song Qiuxue left, Old Man Tang called her into the house and gave her an expensive pearl necklace.
When Wang Yunyun saw Song Qiuxue come out of her grandfather's room with a pearl necklace around her neck, she felt unhappy. She ran to Tang Su'e and said, "Grandpa said that when he is gone, everything in this house will be left to me, but now he is giving the things that were meant for me to Qiuxue."
"Yunyun, Qiuxue is a college student in the provincial capital now. She has resources there. What we need to do now is to build a good relationship with Qiuxue and then have her introduce you to a family in the provincial capital," Tang Su'e advised her daughter. "Is it worth it to trade a necklace for a family in the city, especially the provincial capital?"
Wang Yunyun nodded, "Worth it!"
In an effort to please Song Qiuxue, Tang Su'e had her eldest son call a tricycle to wait at the door of their house and diligently paid the fare for Song Qiuxue in advance.
The manners were quite impeccable.
Zhou Qiaoyun jokingly made a sarcastic remark, "Su'e, Qiuxue isn't your biological daughter, is she? You two seem so close. Yunyun, quickly ask your mother if Qiuxue is her illegitimate daughter!"
Tang Su'e: "If I had a daughter like Qiuxue, I would wake up laughing in my sleep."
"Qiaoyun, Qiuxue just forgot to bring you a gift. The child didn't do it on purpose and has already apologized to you. Please stop teasing the child."
The mention of the gift only fueled Zhou Qiaoyun's anger.
He brought gifts for everyone except her, saying there were too many people and he forgot.
Then why not forget about others?
"Qiuxue, we get along so well that even your Aunt Qiaoyun says you're like my own daughter. Why don't you just become my goddaughter?"
Tang Su'e was afraid that Song Qiuxue would be unhappy, so she deliberately said, "Qiuxue, you are now a college student in the provincial capital, while we are all from the countryside. If you don't want to be my goddaughter, that's fine too."
"Godmother!" Song Qiuxue called out generously.
"Oh, my good daughter!" Tang Su'e responded happily, deliberately drawing out the sound, and glanced sideways at Zhou Qiaoyun, whose mouth was crooked with anger.
Zhou Qiaoyun said with a forced smile, "You have to pay a fee for changing your address, Dafei's sixth aunt. You can't take advantage of Erzhuang's daughter."
Tang Su'e is usually very stingy.
They only care about themselves.
Not taking advantage of others is a loss.
Asking her to give up even a penny is like cutting off a piece of her flesh.
Zhou Qiaoyun deliberately tried to embarrass Tang Su'e, but Tang Su'e took out a red envelope she had prepared beforehand and stuffed it into Song Qiuxue's hand.
"How could there be no change-of-address fee! This big red envelope was specially prepared for you by your godmother."
This red envelope was originally prepared to please Song Qiuxue.
"Thank you, godmother." Song Qiuxue hugged Tang Su'e.
The two were as close as mother and daughter, which made Wang Yunyun jealous.
No sooner had Song Qiuxue left than Old Man Tang called Tang Su'e into the house.
A group of people were discussing something inside the house.
Zhou Qiaoyun wanted to eavesdrop, but Tang Youliang stopped her.
"What are you doing? What's so interesting to hear? Dafei's marriage is settled. Get ready, we'll go find the master to choose an auspicious date for Dafei in a bit."
Tang Youliang is no longer involved in his father's affairs.
He never goes to meetings or discussions, no matter what they are.
"Aren't you wondering what kind of evil scheme your father and your sixth sister's family are plotting against someone in the house again?" Zhou Qiaoyun asked. "And what about Erzhuang's third daughter? Why didn't she go back to her own home? She came to our house instead. She brought gifts for the whole family, but not for me. Your father and your sixth sister must be up to something behind my back..."
"If you want a gift, I'll have Dafei buy it for you later."
"This is not the same thing!" Zhou Qiaoyun harbored resentment towards Song Qiuxue.
-
Songzhuang Village.
Qiao Guilan was inside the house calculating the cost of the banquet and how much money she could receive as gifts.
"Guilan, your third daughter is back!" The neighbors in the village ran in excitedly. "Your third daughter is dressed so fashionably, just like a movie star."
Many villagers gathered in the courtyard.
Qiao Guilan rushed out of the courtyard and saw her third daughter; tears welled up in her eyes.
The surrounding villagers all praised Qiu Xue for being beautiful, saying she looked just like Cai Xing.
Cai Xing was petite, a little shorter than Qiu Xue.
Everyone praised Qiu Xue for being as beautiful as Cai Xing, but taller and a college student from the provincial capital, making her overall qualities better than Cai Xing.
Tang Suxiang also came over with her granddaughter in her arms, and asked her granddaughter if her third aunt looked a lot like her fourth aunt, wanting her granddaughter to flatter Song Qiuxue.
"Please don't praise me anymore, you're making me feel embarrassed," Song Qiuxue said politely with a smile.
The little granddaughter couldn't lie, and blurted out, "Third Aunt looks like Grandma, Fourth Aunt is pretty..."
"Third Aunt is beautiful too, she looks exactly like Fourth Aunt, doesn't she?" Tang Suxiang coaxed her granddaughter in her arms, insisting that the granddaughter praise Song Qiuxue a few times, which made the granddaughter cry.
Song Qiuxue stayed at home for a few minutes before going to the new house to find Song Yinhua.
At this moment, Song Yinhua and Song Caixing are planting fruit tree seedlings.
One person dug a hole and filled it with soil, while the other supported the sapling.
"Big..." When Song Qiuxue saw them from afar, she was about to call out to them when she suddenly remembered something, quickly ran into the courtyard, and went into the inner room.
Song Yinhua and Song Caixing's clothes were neatly folded and placed in the wardrobe.
Song Qiuxue felt around in her pockets, searching for the jade pendant among her clothes.
"Woof!"
"Woof woof!"
The chubby, vicious dog rushed in, looking both fierce and adorable.
He yelled at Song Qiuxue.
Song Qiuxue quickly tidied up the clothes and put them back. Just as she turned around, she saw Song Yinhua standing at the door.
"Big sister, where did you go?" Song Qiuxue walked over enthusiastically. "Mom told me that you and Caixing live here, so I came to see you as soon as I got back, but I didn't see you and Caixing when I came in."
“Cai Xing and I planted fruit trees behind the house.” Song Yinhua led Song Qiuxue to the main room.
Song Caixing came in at this moment, and when she saw Song Qiuxue, she happily rushed over.
The three sisters reminisced about the past and had a very pleasant chat.
When Song Yinhua boiled water to wash up and rest in the evening, she discovered that the clothes in her wardrobe had been moved.
She asked Song Caixing, who said she had never opened the wardrobe.
At this moment, Song Yinhua remembered that Song Qiuxue had come to the room that afternoon.
In the warm bath tub, Song Yinhua looked at the jade pendant hanging on her chest.
Could it be that Qiu Xue touched her own clothes?
But why would she touch the clothes in the closet?
A scene from her past life flashed through Song Yinhua's mind, where she saw Song Qiuxue at the Tang family's house.
Did the old uncle send Qiu Xue to steal the jade pendant?
-
The next morning, Song Qiuxue went to the health center to visit her second brother, Song Baogen.
As soon as Song Baogen saw her, he berated her, accusing her of introducing a drug addict to his older sister and pushing her into a pit of fire.
Song Qiuxue's tears fell in grievance.
“I was also tricked by my classmate. I didn’t know his cousin had so many problems. If I had known, I would never have introduced him to my older sister.”
"Your parents believe that, but I don't." Song Baogen didn't mince words. "Wenxiu has already told me everything. Your classmate targeted the female classmates first. The news has been circulating among the classmates for a while now. And you still say you didn't know?"
Song Qiuxue firmly denied it.
"Qiuxue, is it so hard for you to admit your mistake and apologize to your older sister?" Song Baogen asked. His great-uncle and his wife were just like that, they would refuse to admit they had swallowed your jade pendant and would refuse to acknowledge that they had borrowed money from you. "Your stubbornness in denying things is exactly the same as your great-uncle's. You're not like a member of our family at all!"
