Upon entering the Chang family's gate, Qiao's mother instantly transformed, her smile radiant and her demeanor impeccable. To others, she appeared to be a very polite in-law.
Chen Zhaodi subtly curled her lip. "Pah! My daughter-in-law's mother is full of bad intentions. She won't fall for it a second time!"
The arrival of Qiao's mother was like a pebble thrown into the sea, creating ripples before returning to calm in an instant. Qiao's mother was excessively well-behaved and polite, which almost surprised Chen Zhaodi.
This woman is such a good actress, I can't outsmart her at all!
Since Qiao's mother was behaving herself and not causing trouble, Chen Zhaodi put the matter behind her. She was too busy to waste time on Qiao's mother.
Old Man Chang's love life is enough to give her a headache!
With a smile on her face, Qiao's mother figured out the current situation of the Chang family in just half a day. When she and Qiao Sirui started to discuss it, Qiao Sirui was stunned.
Qiao Sirui: "Mom, what are you trying to do? This is someone else's house!"
She and her father are controlled by her mother, but that doesn't mean others can tolerate it. Be careful, or they might cause a big mess.
Mrs. Qiao smiled smugly: "Don't ask so many questions. I have my own plans. When the time comes, you'll just follow my orders!"
Since her son-in-law's sister had a car, her son-in-law should have one too, Qiao's mother secretly made up her mind.
Qiao Sirui looked at her calculating face and felt a headache coming on. This was someone else's territory. If something really happened, there would be no way to cover it up!
Qiao Sirui was extremely anxious but unable to stop her mother; no one could control what her mother wanted to do.
When Mrs. Qiao was planning to get a car back for her daughter's family, she suddenly noticed that the atmosphere in the house was strange, especially the grandfather who was always running around and seemed to be tinkering with something.
Even the great-grandson born to the eldest grandson was abandoned by the old man; this is a sign of impending disaster!
Qiao's mother grabbed her daughter and asked, "What's wrong with Yaozu's grandfather? He's like a crazy old man who's had a stroke of bad luck with women. I remember Yaozu's grandmother is still alive and well!"
Qiao Sirui looked completely bewildered and knew nothing about the matter, which nearly made her mother faint with anger.
Her silly daughter didn't notice anything about such a big thing!
With a smile on her face, Qiao's mother tried to get close to Old Man Chang to find out some information, but she was met with a rebuff. It was as if there were beauties outside bewitching him, and Old Man Chang never stayed long when he came back.
Mrs. Qiao went over to greet him, but Old Man Chang gave a perfunctory reply and hurriedly left.
Although Qiao's mother was very shrewd and resourceful, she still needed to be given room to maneuver. She didn't even get to say more than a few words to Old Man Chang, so all her skills were wasted.
She could only turn to Old Man Chang's daughter-in-law, who was also her son-in-law's mother.
Presumably, Chen Zhaodi didn't want the family to have a bad reputation because of Old Man Chang's indiscretions.
When Chen Zhaodi heard her mention this, the corner of her mouth twitched for a moment.
This old man Chang is so unrestrained! His grandson's in-laws are still living here, and he's already openly dating!
Chen Zhaodi cursed inwardly, but suddenly hesitated and wanted to hear Qiao's mother's opinion. Qiao's mother was cunning and shrewd; if she hoped Yaozu would be willing to stand on her side, things would be much simpler.
It's because Zhou Hongyu simply didn't want to get involved in this matter!
Mrs. Qiao pursed her lips slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips; she had been waiting for these words.
Dealing with an old man who can't control his lower body is incredibly easy, and it doesn't even require the women to take the lead. All it takes is for Old Man Chang's two daughters to make a fuss, and the matter will be settled.
After Qiao's mother finished explaining her plan in a few sentences, Chen Zhaodi shook her head and said with a resentful look, "You probably don't know who found this third brother outside. It was my two heartless aunts!"
"There's such a thing!" Mrs. Qiao was shocked. Her daughter had always been obedient, so she never imagined that someone else would have such an inhuman daughter.
The mother is perfectly fine, yet she can't wait to find a used woman for the father. Tsk tsk tsk, this is a tricky situation.
Mrs. Qiao scolded, "My dear in-law, your father-in-law is no good. He's done such heartless things, and one day he'll get his comeuppance!"
Chen Zhaodi shook her head hesitantly: "My father-in-law is in good health. He only cares about himself. He can probably live a healthy life for several more decades. What retribution could he possibly have!"
Good people don't get good rewards, but evil people live on for a thousand years. As for the saying that evil will be punished, just listen to it and don't take it seriously.
"Sigh!" Mrs. Qiao sighed, "We can't just let things continue like this. We have to find a way to stop it, lest it cause real trouble. Just think about it, if one day a woman from outside tries to enter the house, and Yaozu's grandmother is still alive and well, we can't have the laughing stock of a family with two mistresses!"
Of course not—
Chen Zhaodi shook her head frantically. If it were that step, she would have killed the culprit, Old Man Chang, beforehand!
Mrs. Qiao tentatively asked, "What do you think? Why don't we call Yaozu's second aunt over to discuss a solution together? Three heads are better than one, surely they can come up with a satisfactory idea..."
"no!"
Chen Zhaodi interrupted her before she could finish speaking: "Zhou Hongyu is unreliable; she has no intention of getting involved!"
Mrs. Qiao took a deep breath. Her two aunts were heartless, and her sister-in-law didn't intend to care about anything. In the end, she would still have to rely on them.
Mrs. Qiao paused for a moment: "Let me think about it some more, I'm sure I can come up with a good idea!"
Meanwhile, Old Man Chang was in the park having a long, intimate conversation with Aunt Yan, who was past her prime.
As Aunt Yan was speaking, she suddenly started wiping away tears. Old Man Chang felt very sorry for her and quickly reached out to stop her: "Sister, don't cry. Tell me what's wrong, and I'll take care of it for you!"
Aunt Yan cried her eyes out: "Brother Chang, my life is so miserable! My dead husband was useless when he was alive. He didn't leave me and my children any valuable assets. Now that my children have grown up and are ready to start their own families, how can I manage on my own? I might as well die!"
"Little sister, don't cry, no matter what, your big brother is here for you!"
Aunt Yan cried even harder, tears streaming down her face: "Brother Chang, you have a family and a home. No matter what, I can't leech off you. I think we should stop having any contact with each other so as not to drag you down. I'll look around and find someone who can help me. The future of our children will depend on others!"
"Big sister!" Old Man Chang was heartbroken. Although it was a terrible thing to do, it was the first time he had ever felt love with Aunt Yan.
He used to just live with Granny Chang!
Now that I don't have many years left to live, I should finally be myself and not leave any regrets.
Old Man Chang held Aunt Yan's hand tightly: "Your child is my child, let's get married!"
Aunt Yan was stunned for a moment: "But your wife..."
Old Man Chang shook his head: "She's been mentally unstable for years, who knows how much longer she has. I can't live just for her! I'll ask her for a divorce, and then I'll bring you home in a grand sedan chair!"
