She felt like he no longer recognized the world.
Her eldest and second sisters-in-law helped her leave.
Qiao Yunni couldn't help but look back one more time, her gaze landing on Song Ruier.
Song Ruier didn't even look at her, and gave the two stools to Song Lao Er and Chen Shi to sit on.
"Father, Mother, you've worked so hard just now."
Qiao Yunni closed her eyes, her heart filled with despair at that moment.
Compared to the Song family's large brick and tile house, the Qiao family's house was a mud-walled and thatched house with three main rooms, three rooms each in the east and west rooms, and a pigsty and a chicken and duck pen to the south, all of which were empty except for a hen lying listlessly in its nest.
The thatched hut was quite old; the walls were cracked and had been patched with new mud.
Although it was simple and humble, the courtyard was kept very clean, and several pots of wildflowers were planted in ceramic pots, blooming in a riot of colors.
Actually, the Qiao family had three young and strong sons, and their wives were all capable women, so they shouldn't have been so poor.
That's because the Qiao family's ten mu of farmland were all located along the Luo River. Every time there was a major flood, the rice seedlings that had formed ears would fall over and be lost. In many years, the harvest was only one-third or one-fifth of the normal yield.
With taxes to pay, very little was left for food rations.
The flooding of the Luo River is a phenomenon that has only occurred in the last ten years. It is said to be caused by irrigation diversion from the county town more than 100 miles away, which led to the confluence of several tributaries. Therefore, whenever there is heavy rain, Datian Village will suffer from disaster.
That county town was more powerful and influential than this one, leaving this place with no choice but to suffer in silence.
Grandma Qiao quickly tidied up a room and made up the bed, saying, "This is the only room left. Fortunately, it's quite spacious, enough for you and your daughter to stay in."
Qiao Yunni was stunned, clearly still reeling from the blow.
Grandma Qiao said again, "Don't think too much about it. You are a member of the Qiao family, and the blood of the Qiao family flows in your veins. You can live here for the rest of your life. Your family will always be your support."
Qiao Yunni's eyes were a little wet.
She was her parents' only daughter, and from childhood to adulthood, she was doted on by her parents and three older brothers.
This time, for her sake, he disregarded everything and went to the Song family with weapons to cause trouble.
Qiao the eldest said, "Even if Lian'er gets married in the future, you still have our kids to support you in your old age. You won't be without support in this life."
Qiao Laoda and Feng Shi had a son and a daughter. Their son was seventeen years old and named Dayong, and their daughter was fifteen years old and named Xier.
Qiao Lao Er and Wan Shi also had a son and a daughter, a sixteen-year-old boy named Da Cheng and a fourteen-year-old girl named Zhi Zhi.
Qiao Laosan and Lü Shi had two sons: the elder son, Da Meng, was fifteen years old, and the younger son, Xiao Meng, was thirteen years old.
They were all Song Lian'er's older brothers and sisters.
When Boss Qiao said that, the children immediately responded and said they would take care of the Qiao family in their old age.
“Even after I get married, I will still take care of my sister-in-law,” Qiao Xi’er said.
Da Cheng patted his chest and assured, "My aunt is family. If we don't take care of her, who will?"
Not to mention that Qiao Shi was already in tears, even Song Lian'er felt her eyes burning.
The Qiao family may be poor, but coming back was the right thing to do; this atmosphere is just great.
Moreover, with her around, this family could never be poor.
She said, "My mother and I have no further connection with the Song family, so I've decided—"
The Qiao family all turned around to look at her.
