Qiao Sirui was restless and worried all day long.
Chen Zhaodi looked at it strangely and whispered to Chang Huaying, "Is Yaozu's wife thinking of taking Enen back with her?"
She just had a little free time to spend with her grandson, and she wasn't happy about this.
Chang Huaying glanced at Qiao Sirui, who was clearly restless and unable to eat or sleep, and shook her head slightly: "Mom, Sirui is the child's biological mother. If she wants to take her away, there's nothing you can do to stop her!"
Chen Zhaodi suddenly couldn't catch her breath. Everyone says that daughters are like warm cotton-padded jackets, but her warm cotton-padded jacket is getting more and more leaky, which is infuriating.
Chen Zhaodi muttered to herself, "Even the child's biological mother won't do. She spends 360 days a year at the Qiao family's house, so she should stay in the capital for a few more days. If she's in a hurry to go back, then go back. I'll send Enen back when I have time!"
That's a nice idea.
Chang Huaying smiled and said, "Mom, are you kidding me? How can a child be separated from his own mother? Besides, if you insist on staying, there's no one to take care of him. Dad has to work and take care of Grandma, how can he spare the time to take care of the child? Why don't you come and take care of him?"
Chen Zhaodi's eyes darted around. Why didn't you come? You're so bored!
Chang Huaying scoffed and crossed her arms tightly: "Don't overthink it, I'm not staying to take care of the children!"
Children are creatures that you can play with when you're bored, but if you have to spend a whole day taking care of them, then forget it.
Qiao Sirui looked worried and couldn't see a smile. Chen Zhaodi sighed; her beloved grandson was probably going back home.
Zhou Hongyu hadn't seen her grandson since he returned to the capital, but now that he was about to go back, she had to see him at least once!
Zhou Hongyu was taken aback when she received the call from Chen Zhaodi. She had been busy these past few days and had forgotten about Enen. She agreed, "Sure, when is a good time? I'll treat them to a meal before they go back!"
Chen Zhaodi disagreed: "There's nothing good to eat outside, so it's better to cook at home. Now that I have a new job, I have plenty of time. Let's make it tonight. Just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll cook it at home and wait for you to come back!"
Zhou Hongyu agreed and they quickly arranged a time to have dinner together.
In the evening, the arrival of Zhou Haoran, the chubby boy, and An'an made the usually quiet Chang family home incredibly lively. The children in the alley dared to sneak into the Chang family home, and they all had a great time.
Chang Meiying sat under the eaves with a book in her hand, looking obedient and sensible.
Qiao Sirui exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Huaying, Meiying is really hardworking. It's no wonder that our second uncle's family has produced a student who studied abroad and a painter. Meiying will probably not be too bad in the future!"
Chang Meiying heard her praise from a great distance and gave a perfunctory smile, revealing her little tiger teeth.
Chang Huaying shook her head gently: "Those four words have nothing to do with her. She has always been the most mischievous in our family. Ten An'an and Little Fatty combined can't compare to her!"
Qiao Sirui couldn't believe it—ten!
In her opinion, An'an and the little fat boy were already naughty enough, so it was unimaginable how Chang Meiying could be so capable. So how did her second uncle and aunt manage to straighten the children?
...
While Qiao Sirui was lost in thought, Chang Huaying pulled her closer and asked knowingly, "Sirui, why did you suddenly bring the child to Beijing this time? Did you have a fight with my brother?"
Qiao Sirui felt guilty. She did argue, but she hadn't guessed who she was arguing with.
Chang Huaying continued, "You don't know, do you? Everyone came here for dinner to see you. Judging from your appearance, you'll probably be going back in a few days!"
Qiao Sirui was even more shocked. Sure enough, her mother was right. Her sister-in-law was a highly educated person who knew everything. She couldn't hide anything from her sister-in-law, as if all her secrets were laid bare.
Qiao Sirui murmured, "...Yes, we have to go back, but we can stay a little longer!"
Her mother was forcing her to go back, but she didn't want to go back!
While others might feel uncomfortable staying at their in-laws' house, she didn't. Compared to the oppressive atmosphere at home, the air at her in-laws' house was much more relaxed and comfortable.
There are still people to lend a hand in taking care of the child, but no one will nag about every little thing all day long or bring it up to criticize her every now and then, and no one will demand that she follow orders in everything.
She wanted to stay in this relaxed and carefree life a little longer, but unfortunately, circumstances didn't allow it.
She can't leave her mother, and she has no way of leaving her mother.
Seeing Qiao Sirui's embarrassment, Chang Huaying did not put any more pressure on her, but just smiled and said, "It all depends on what you think!"
Qiao Sirui breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that her sister-in-law would keep asking questions until she got to the bottom of things. She wasn't the kind of person who could keep things to herself, and she might accidentally reveal the reason for the argument, which would be terrible.
Looks like I need to go back soon...
After dinner, Chen Zhaodi was in a great mood and invited Zhou Hongyu to accompany her daughter-in-law and grandson on a tour of Beijing over the next few days.
Qiao Sirui couldn't help but steal a glance. Ever since she got married, her mother had told her to make sure she maintained a good relationship with her second uncle's family.
Zhou Hongyu gently shook her head: "The timing isn't right. I have some things to take care of recently. If Sirui isn't in a hurry to go back, I can accompany you in a few days!"
Ning Huilan is going to immigrate abroad with her husband's family. These days, she and her friends are having a lot of fun, eating, drinking and having fun, enjoying this last bit of time together.
When Zhou Hongyu told them this, Chen Zhaodi and Qiao Sirui immediately showed the same expression: shocked and envious.
Chen Zhaodi exclaimed in amazement, "No wonder she's Director Ning's daughter, she's about to immigrate abroad. I wonder if our Enen will have the same good luck in the future!"
Qiao Sirui patted Enen's back as if she could sense it from afar. "It's great abroad. You can have everything. Once you become a foreign citizen, you're rich. As parents, we all hope our children will be successful in the future."
Qiao Sirui glanced at Zhou Hongyu again. Sure enough, whatever her mother said was right. Her second uncle's family was really capable!
Perhaps when Enen grows up and wants to study abroad, she can ask her second uncle's family for help.
Zhou Hongyu simply smiled at their almost overflowing envy.
Ning Huilan wasn't really keen on studying abroad. Director Ning officially retired two years ago and originally wanted to make the most of her remaining health, but unexpectedly, she fell seriously ill and was hospitalized at the end of the year, and her health has been poor ever since.
Ning Huilan was particularly reluctant to go abroad, fearing that she might never see him again. However, as a wife and a mother, she had her own responsibilities, and she simply couldn't refuse to go. The plan had been postponed for several years because of her.
Chen Zhaodi was particularly interested in emigrating and kept asking questions, while Qiao Sirui listened with her child in her arms.
Zhou Hongyu patiently answered all their questions.
As they were talking, a piercing scream suddenly rang out from the alley.
Granny Liu cried out, "Thieves! Thieves! That little widow who was born of a mother but raised by none has run off with all our money!"
