Zhou Wu was not in a hurry to join the army. After all, there were always quotas for military service. He could join after graduating from high school, and then go to a military academy for further studies if he had the chance.
Qiao Yu noticed Dawei's talent.
He has a special liking for painting.
But painters were not popular in this era. They had to endure a long period of time, grow old, and settle down before they could see results. Moreover, most painters were young, middle-aged, and old, but they were not successful. Even more of them died after...
Well, regarding this point, Qiao Yu talked to Dawei alone. After knowing that he only regarded painting as a hobby and was not obsessed with it, he didn't say anything more.
As for Xiaoyong?
Still can't tell anything.
Because we are moving to the island, we cannot leave the house here empty, so we think of renting it out. This compound is crowded with people, and it is common to see three generations of a family squeezed into a house of more than ten square meters.
There were many people who came to Qiao Yu to rent a house, and the most active one was Widow Huang.
Widow Huang knew that her reputation was ruined, and she had a falling out with the people in the compound over the matter of Grandma Wang. She became more and more unscrupulous and reckless, to the point where even dogs would avoid her when they saw her.
While everyone else was politely discussing the matter of renting the yard with Qiao Yu, Widow Huang pulled her daughter-in-law Sun Fengling to sit on the ground and started crying, "Sister Qiao, as a young lesbian, please have pity on us orphans and widows and rent the house to us!!"
Qiao Yu quickly walked away and watched coldly.
Widow Huang cried until her voice was hoarse and her tears dried up, but seeing that Qiao Yu was unmoved, she cursed him in her heart, calling him a little bitch, but he was still as difficult to deal with as he was back then. So she stood up, brushed off the dust on her body, smiled flatteringly, and tried to get closer to Qiao Yu.
"Sister Qiao..."
Qiao Yu took a half step back.
"Dr. Joe..."
Qiao Yu took another step back.
Widow Huang looked at her like this and said unhappily, "Doctor Qiao, why are you hiding?"
Qiao Yu smiled.
When Widow Huang saw her laughing, she followed the beat and laughed too.
Qiao Yu: "I'm afraid you'll cheat on me."
Widow Huang's smile froze, her cheeks twitched, and she said, "Dr. Qiao is really... just like before, quick to speak."
Qiao Yu has been busy with hospital affairs in the past two years and rarely gossiped with the old lady in the compound. Everyone thought that her temperament had changed and she was more stable than before?
Now that I see it, I was overthinking it.
Qiao Yu: "I say, Granny Huang, just talk, why are you so close to me? You said you were lying, but you really lied to me? Do you think I'm easy to bully? How about we go to the police station to talk, drink some tea, and have a calm chat?"
Do you think you can calmly drink tea at the Public Security Bureau?
They don't dare, courage doesn't allow them to do so.
Of course Widow Huang didn't dare to do that.
Widow Huang winked at Sun Fengling, who gritted her teeth and rushed forward when Qiao Yu was not prepared.
"Doctor Joe...I beg you, ah!"
Sun Fengling didn't have the courage to knock Qiao Yu down. Her initial plan was to lightly bump into him and then fall down herself. When things got out of hand, her mother-in-law would find an excuse to make trouble.
To put it simply and to the point - to please people.
Qiao Yu grabbed Sun Fengling's wrist in annoyance, and as a result, it seemed that he discovered something extraordinary.
Yiyyyy.
She took Sun Fengling's pulse immediately, and then she acted mechanically at first, but saw her panicked expression after she reacted.
Qiao Yu smiled, "Congratulations, Auntie Sun! Oh, and Granny Huang, congratulations to you too!"
"Don't--please don't say that!"
What were you doing this morning?
Qiao Yu rolled his eyes. When he was teasing her, why didn't he consider her as a weak woman? Now that she, a weak woman, is going to expose her past, she is panicking?
Widow Huang was also in a panic...
This is interesting, does Widow Huang know?
ha.
Qiao Yu: "Grandma Huang, you may not know yet! Your Dabao and Xiaobao are going to have a new brother! Oh, it could be a new sister! Your family, after your son passed away for many years and your granddaughter has been a widow for many years, is finally pregnant! What a happy occasion!"
puff--
No one knew who laughed first, breaking the deadlock.
In the end, everyone burst into laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Not only is the gossip about Widow Huang's family interesting, but Qiao Yu's sarcastic and humorous remarks are also novel and funny.
As he spoke, Qiao Yu stopped smiling and looked at Sun Fengling, who was trying to shrink herself, and finally his eyes fell on Widow Huang. "Grandma Huang, you let the pregnant Aunt Sun hit me. Are you trying to get rid of the child through me so that you can take advantage of my family?"
She had a sinister smile.
She grabbed Sun Fengling and said, "Come on, let's go to the Revolutionary Committee and talk about this. Is this child your late husband's, or is it your child from an adulterer?!"
Sun Fengling squatted on the ground, but Qiao Yu was very strong and dragged her, stirring up dust.
She wanted to stop, but the other party wanted to drag her into hell!
She really couldn't keep calm this time, and cried with snot and tears, "Dr. Qiao, please forgive me, I won't dare to do it again. Really, it's all my mother-in-law... She forced me to do it!"
Widow Huang had been trying to calm the situation down and wanted to stand by and watch, but upon hearing this, she quickly grabbed a branch and started hitting Sun Fengling with it!
"I'll beat you to death, you whore! How dare you treat my son badly and throw dirty water on me! Little whore! Tell me, whose bastard is this in your body! I must go to his house today and have a talk! Otherwise, this matter will never end!"
Qiao Yu quickly jumped away to avoid being implicated.
How could Sun Fengling just squat on the ground and let herself be beaten? She struggled to get up and rushed out of the courtyard.
How could Widow Huang let her go? She hurriedly chased after her.
As soon as the two widows ran away, the others gathered around Qiao Yu and started to talk to him.
"These two widows are so evil, they came to cheat people while pregnant. If Dr. Qiao hadn't discovered it early, the matter would have been a big mess and two lives would have been lost. Can Dr. Qiao still keep his job?"
Qiao Yu lowered his head, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and when he raised his head again, he looked like a good guy who didn't care about being bullied. He sighed and said, "Who said it wasn't true? Fortunately, I was shocked. Who knew that renting a house would cause so much trouble.
Forget about it, auntie. I'll list the house at the Housing Authority and rent it to whoever meets the requirements."
In this way, even though the housing authority has gone through its process, both parties are protected, the house will not be maliciously damaged, and the signed rental agreement can last longer.
Qiao Yu used the excuse of going to the Housing Management Office as a cover, but actually went to check on the situation of the two people with Widow Huang.
When Grandma Wang was still alive, she had offended the two widows when she rented Grandma Wang's house. She thought that since Widow Huang did not fight back, the matter was over. The two families did not greet each other often, and she did not expect that they were waiting for her here.
She was quite vicious, using the child in her womb to plot against her.
Even if she succeeded, so what? Wouldn't Sun Fengling still be a slut?
The whole city was under heavy crackdown, how could Sun Fengling not know? She took such a big risk just to rent a house... or in other words, to get a house for free?
Qiao Yu snorted in his heart, fearing that the story behind this was definitely not that simple.
