Chapter 12 Please call me Xiao Xiangbao
Qin Jingming stopped the car, got out, and looked at me with a sharp gaze.
"You are my girlfriend, it is only natural for me to buy things for you." Qin Jingming spoke sincerely, without a trace of displeasure.
She knew that what he said was true.
That’s it!
She herself is a little bit pretentious and feels it is inappropriate to spend so much money right after confirming the relationship.
"Isn't it my duty to give the money I earn to my wife? Otherwise, you should marry me earlier so that I can spend it with justification and save you the psychological burden." Perhaps he noticed her uneasiness, raised his hand, rubbed her head, and his tone became much gentler.
"You wish. Let's go!" Now that things have come to this, Qiao Wanqing stopped being pretentious.
Just work harder and make more money.
You can give him money in the future.
But when they arrived at the gate of the Qiao family, Qiao Wanqing stood there, motionless.
Qin Jingming did not rush her, giving her enough time to prepare herself mentally.
Qiao Wanqing took three deep breaths before raising her hand to knock on the door.
"Here I come!" I heard a baby voice, and then I saw a crack in the door, revealing a cute baby face.
"Sister!" It was Qiao Haisheng, his uncle's youngest son, who was eight years old.
When Qiao Haisheng saw the person coming, he opened the door and shouted into the yard, "Grandpa, Grandma, my sister is here."
Qiao Wanqing only had a vague understanding of the affairs of the Qiao family and Yang Ailian, and did not know very many details.
All we know is that the first request Yang Ailian made when she came into the family was to divide the family property. The old couple felt sorry for their second son because the family was poor and the second son had waited until he was almost 30 to get married, so they agreed.
Originally, the old couple lived in the house in the backyard where Qiao Wanqing slept, but after Qiao Laoer died, Yang Ailian drove them away.
Forced into a corner, the old couple turned to Boss Qiao for help.
Fortunately, the eldest couple are honest and kind, and they work hard to take care of the elderly couple.
Grandma Qiao was sitting in the house and saw Qiao Wanqing entering the yard through the window.
He excitedly got off the bed and put on his shoes. Just as he reached the door of the room, he turned around and walked back.
"You old woman, why are you back again?" Old man Qiao was about to go out, but was pulled back by his wife.
"You are not allowed to go either!" When Old Man Qiao heard this, he understood that his wife was resentful of this granddaughter!
Come to think of it, knowing that she was having a hard time in that home, her husband shamelessly discussed it with his eldest son and his wife. Unexpectedly, while one side agreed, the other side was unwilling to come back with her.
"Grandma, Grandpa..." Qiao Wanqing followed Qiao Haisheng in and put the things on the table awkwardly. "This is my boyfriend, Qin Jingming."
"Sit down, sit down!" Being angry with her granddaughter was one thing, but now that her grandson-in-law had come to visit, even if Mrs. Qiao had any resentment, she put it aside for the time being.
Otherwise, if she gets married and lives an unhappy life in the future, I will be the one who feels bad.
"Grandpa, grandma." Qin Jingming took the initiative to greet them.
"Good boy, come and sit down!" said old man Qiao with a smile.
"I'll go make tea!" Qiao Haisheng was very sensible and hurried to the kitchen to boil water.
"Wanwan, you go too." As soon as Old Mrs. Qiao spoke, Qiao Wanqing nodded and went out.
Qin Jingming knew that the old couple must have something to say to him.
When Qiao Wanqing and Qiao Haisheng entered the room carrying tea, the three of them seemed to be having a good time. As for what they were talking about, no one knew.
After staying for about half an hour, Mr. and Mrs. Qiao hurried back carrying meat and fish.
"Uncle, aunt." Qiao Wanqing and Qin Jingming stood up and greeted them.
Compared to Qin Jingming, an outsider, Qiao Wanqing was more like an outsider, feeling uneasy and making Old Mrs. Qiao very angry.
"Jingming will eat here at noon. Wanwan, come with me to the kitchen to help." Old Mrs. Qiao took her granddaughter's hand and walked out, while Qin Jingming chatted with the two elders.
In the kitchen
Although she said she was helping, Qiao Wanqing was left sitting alone on the bench.
That’s right, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law don’t have to let her do any chores in the kitchen, and they even feed her delicious food from time to time.
"Grandma, I was wrong!" Realizing that the old lady was hard on the outside but soft on the inside, Qiao Wanqing hugged her from behind.
Old Mrs. Qiao paused while picking vegetables and tears began to fall.
"You little stinky girl, you are so disobedient. You are suffering in that family. You are tearing your grandmother's heart out!" The death of Qiao Lao Er meant that she had to send off a young person at an old age. Her only blood relative was still suffering in that family, which often made Grandma Qiao so heartbroken that she couldn't sleep at night.
"Wanwan, when you come back, just stay at home. If your uncle and I have something to eat, you will get a bite. Don't go back." Aunt Feng knew about her niece's experience.
But her mother-in-law couldn't persuade her, so she didn't say much.
But now that she's back, she thought it would be better for him to stay by her side.
Seeing her thin body, Feng's eyes also turned red.
"Sister, I'll eat less and leave some for you." At this time, Qiao Haisheng, who was hiding outside, also walked in with red eyes.
"You little brat, you did the right thing!" When Feng heard what her youngest son said, her heart softened.
"Mom, you're right, little brat. Please call me Xiao Xiangbao!" Because of Qiao Haisheng's cute speech, several people started talking and laughing.
Old Mrs. Qiao asked her how she had been doing in the past few years and whether she had suffered any injustice.
Even if Qiao Wanqing said no, she wouldn't believe it.
While cooking, Qiao Hai was scolding Yang Ailian. Fearing that her elder sister would be unhappy, he quickly said, "Grandma, your saliva is about to fall into the food."
"Grandson, how dare you despise me!"
"Grandma, look at what you said, don't you have your brother-in-law?" Qiao Haisheng's bold remarks successfully avoided a beating.
Moreover, Old Mrs. Qiao stopped scolding.
After lunch, Qiao Wanqing announced her decision to return and live, but there was still something she needed to do.
When Old Man Qiao heard this, he took two bottles of good wine and took her out.
Qin Jingming wanted to follow, but was stopped by Old Lady Qiao.
"Jingming, you don't have to go. It will be more difficult to get things done if you go."
"Okay." Although he was worried, Qin Jingming still stayed.
But he couldn't sit still. Seeing the firewood scattered on the ground in the corner, he took Qiao Haisheng with him to clean it up. He chopped the firewood while Qiao Haisheng stacked it.
The other side
On the way to the village chief's house, Old Man Qiao told Qiao Wanqing what to pay attention to.
"Knock, knock, knock..." The village chief, who was about to take a nap, heard the knock on the door and got up to open it.
When I opened the door, I saw the grandfather and grandson of the Qiao family.
"Uncle Qiao, what brings you here today?" The village chief turned aside and invited the man in.
"Third brother..."
"Hey!" I haven't heard the sudden name 'Lao San' for many years!
The village chief was inexplicably nervous!
"then……"
"Uncle Qiao, tell me what you want me to do!" The village chief's heart was pounding when he heard that old man Qiao was about to start reminiscing about the past.
