Chapter 82: Death before Success



When Qiao Yu was called in by investigators, he had just arrived at his rented room.

Also traveling with them was Lao Zhou and the large, pointed backpack on his back.

She had empty hands...

Feeling guilty, Qiao Yu helped carry the basket to the floor inside the house and said, "I'll go buy two bottles of soda. Let's take a break before we start."

"Need not……"

Old Zhou had no time to stop him, and when he looked up he only saw Qiao Yu's afterimage.

The soda was packed in foam boxes with ice water dripping from the bottles, which was refreshing just by looking at it.

She ran back with two bottles.

When Lao Zhou saw her coming back, he quickly got up to answer her...

As a result, she had very good teeth. She opened a bottle of soda and handed it to him: "Lao Zhou, here!"

Zhou Ze'an: ...

After he took it, he hesitated and said, "I'll drive next time."

"Huh? Why?"

As she asked this, she bit open the second bottle cap and looked at him with a slightly confused expression.

Could it be that he thought she was too proactive? She was stealing his limelight?

Qiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "I understand."

"???" What do you understand?

Qiao Yu showed an understanding expression, "Don't worry, you can do the job of biting the bottle cap in front of outsiders."

It sounds like he understands, but why is the tone different from what I expected?

Qiao Yu stepped on his feet and patted his shoulder, "I understand you."

Although they are "sisters", they look like men and still like to maintain their appearance.

Qiao Yu: "Isn't it just that women are doing men's work, so there is no place for you to use your skills? Inside! We are no different from sisters and brothers. Outside! You are a man and I am a woman! Got it!"

What does it mean... not distinguishing between sisters and brothers?

Zhou Ze'an sighed deeply.

My wife is still too young and doesn’t understand anything.

Take your time.

He thought as he drank his soda.

After drinking the water, Zhou Ze'an asked someone to pull up the bed, table, and straw mat.

Qiao Yu glanced at the empty house, locked the door, went next door, and started chatting with the landlady, Grandma Wang.

When Zhou Ze'an came back, he glanced at the locked door, and then listened to Qiao Yu's hearty laughter next door, mixed with the old lady's cheerful laughter.

Zhou Ze’an: ???

Before he came, didn't he hear from other people in the courtyard that the old landlady had a strange temper?

The old landlady did look like someone who was not easy to talk to, and she had a stern face towards him the whole time?

How can his little wife chat happily with anyone?

"Xiaoyu?"

Qiao Yu paused while cracking melon seeds and said to the old lady, "Look at me, I'm just busy talking. Grandma Wang, I'm going to open the door for my old Zhou. Come back, we'll have plenty of time to crack some melon seeds."

"Okay, go ahead." After a pause, Grandma Wang said, "You just arrived, you don't have any hot water to drink yet? Bring me the kettle and the enamel pot, and pour a cup of hot water for the helper."

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Grandma Wang."

Zhou Ze'an watched her come out carrying a kettle of warm water and an enamel pot.

Um……

Qiao Yu met his gaze and wondered, "Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?"

"not……"

"That's good. Let's go and pour some hot water for the brothers. They've made such a tiring trip."

"Um."

The person who moved the table and bed was quite surprised.

After receiving the hot water, he quickly put the things in the right place and left politely.

The large backpack I brought contained a mattress, but it only had a cover and no cushion.

Qiao Yu didn’t bring any toiletries with him, and he was too lazy to move them around, so he planned to buy some at a nearby supply and marketing cooperative.

As soon as the bed was made and the windows were closed, Qiao Yu went shopping with Zhou Ze'an.

When I came back, it was just the time to get off work. The workers in the yard were coming back one after another to eat after work. There were quite a lot of people, and it was quite noisy.

Qiao Yu: "I will eat in the cafeteria in the future. I am too lazy to cook by myself and have to buy a stove and charcoal. But in winter, I still have to burn something to keep warm in the house, otherwise it will be too humid."

As she spoke, she sighed, "It's humid near the sea. It's not bad in the summer, you just need to ventilate and dry your bedding and clothes. But in the winter you have to dry them yourself."

"Well, if it really doesn't work, I'll come and help you on the weekend. At the very least, Zhou Jun is already that old, and you're his mother, so it's his responsibility to take care of you."

Qiao Yu: “…” She is still young, so there is no way I can take care of her, right?

She felt that she was not a good stepmother, and the man in front of her was not a good stepfather either.

"Forget it. I'll take care of these little things myself. A soldier's son has to take care of the family and look after his brothers, so he must be very tired.

You have a lot of responsibility at such a young age. 」

Just as he finished sighing, several figures blocked the way of Qiao Yu and the others.

"Excuse me, is this Comrade Qiao Yuqiao?"

"I am. Who are you?"

"We are from the educational institution. We have received a report that you cheated in your college entrance examination results. We hope that Comrade Qiao will go back with us and actively investigate."

People around kept looking at me.

Qiao Yu narrowed his eyes and smiled wider, "Really? Can I know who reported it?"

Zhou Ze'an glanced at her and knew that her expression was a fake smile, and he also knew that it was a sign of her anger.

He can clear the chaos if he shows up.

But she had talked to him privately and she liked to solve problems on her own.

Is it what women of the new era do to use other people's hands?

Zhou Ze'an understood.

Now is her battlefield.

Be courteous, be courteous.

"Sorry, this is an anonymous report..."

Qiao Yu interrupted: "Anonymous? You can frame people just because you are anonymous? I am a military family member! My man protects our country! As a woman of the new era, I will follow my husband's footsteps, be positive and make efforts to learn knowledge, get into psychology school, and learn medical knowledge! In the future, I will strive to become a doctor who can cure diseases and save lives!

Now, you use the word "anonymous" and without finding out who did it, you have labeled me in public!"

"Comrade Qiao, we haven't made any judgment on you. This matter is still under investigation." The man corrected hurriedly.

Qiao Yu was slightly surprised. Oh, there were very few people who could find flaws in her logic and fight back.

"You are being too careless. As a military family member, I suggest that after receiving the anonymous tip-off, you find out the other party's background before investigating me. Otherwise, I will report your intentions to the organization. After all, I can be sure that you have never cheated in the first place!

I have only been with the army for a short time and have not made any enemies. So, those who want to bring me down are targeting my lover!"

The other party began to sweat profusely.

Qiao Yu was still smiling, "Comrade, do you have anything else to say?"

“No…no.”

"That's all? Then go investigate that anonymous person." Qiao Yu said in a mocking voice.

As soon as the person left and returned to the educational institution, he was robbed by his superiors.

"I know you want to achieve good grades and go to college in two years. It's really as fake as it can be, but don't you see who she married?

Her lover is in the army, and he is even a regiment commander! How can she lose the big picture for the small? Once she is found cheating in the college entrance examination, not only will her reputation be ruined, but her lover's position will also be in danger!

What’s more, although this Qiao Yu’s surname is Qiao, he is from the Zhang family in Beijing!”

"The Zhang family in Jing City... is that the Zhang family?"

The man rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, you don't need to investigate this matter anymore. Just take a good rest."

"Director, I am wrong, please help me..."

"I originally wanted to promote you to deputy director next year, Professor Li, you should stay in your current position."

The teaching and research staff sat paralyzed in the chair, feeling frustrated.

If he hadn't been so aggressive and greedy, he would have hit a wall this time...

It's all over.
