Qiao Ergui's words made the room suddenly quiet.
Qiao Changhai and Qiao Baozhu, father and daughter, looked at Qiao Ergui with strange expressions. The Kang family's father and daughter were so embarrassed that they wanted to crawl into the ground.
Everyone present knew what kind of person Qiao Ergui was. She was not a kind-hearted person at all. The reason he said he wanted to take in Qiao Xifeng at this time was just because he was attracted by the 3,000 yuan compensation.
But if Qiao Xifeng stayed in the Kang family in the future, it would only be an extra bowl of rice. If she could earn 3,000 yuan, it would not be bad.
For a moment, the eyes of Kang's father and daughter also became hot.
Qiao Changhai saw everyone's reactions and a look of embarrassment and regret flashed across his face. His brothers and sisters are no longer the same as they were in his memory. Except for himself who still cares about the little brotherhood they had in his childhood, everyone else has long moved on.
The people he thought were closest to him were actually his relatives for a long time. Aren’t the so-called relatives the ones who come for profit and disperse because of profit?
"It's not easy for us to decide on this matter. We can only wait for the doctor to come to work in a few days and make a diagnosis. Even if we want to live with my second aunt, we need the consent of her parents."
Qiao Baozhu reminded everyone with a forced smile, and she was very happy in her heart. With the involvement of someone like Qiao Ergui who is greedy for money, Qiao Xifeng's trouble can be solved more quickly.
"Yes, you are right. Hongmei, you have to be smart while living at your third uncle's house. Go to the hospital to see Xifeng more often. When the hospital makes a diagnosis, send a message home. Then I can discuss with your second uncle and bring Xifeng back home."
Kang Hongmei shrank her neck and didn't dare to nod in agreement. She was very scared, as if Qiao Baozhu had been trying to point fingers at her.
"Hey, kid, why are you like a mute? When I talk to you, don't you know how to say 'hmm'?"
Qiao Ergui finally found an opportunity to demonstrate her authority in front of her relatives.
He raised his hand and twisted Kang Hongmei's ear fiercely, cursing viciously: "You are as stupid as a pig, you can't be taught.
Only your own relatives would be willing to accept you!"
After saying that, Qiao Ergui gave Qiao Changhai a flattering smile and said, "Third brother, I will leave this child to you from now on. You can beat her or scold her as you like. You don't need to spoil your own child."
Qiao Changhai looked at Kang Hongmei's ears, which were red and swollen and had obviously grown larger, and frowned with a look of disapproval.
"Hongmei is a grown-up girl, why do you still raise your hand and hit her? Can't you talk it out nicely? How can you raise a good child like this?"
Qiao Ergui's face choked up and she felt unhappy.
She felt that she was giving face to Qiao Changhai by beating the child. She is Kang Hongmei's biological mother. If a biological mother beats her child, she can do so regardless of age.
Besides, she beat Kang Hongmei for her third brother to see.
Her daughter stayed with Qiao San, and he could beat and scold her without any pretentiousness.
"Hey, no matter how old they are, they are still my children. If they make mistakes, the elders will spank them twice, and that's the responsible person. Why shouldn't I spank the people outside?"
Qiao Ergui couldn't figure out what Qiao Changhai meant. She really couldn't tell whether he was truly distressed or just being polite.
Seeing that Qiao Changhai didn't say anything, Qiao Ergui turned to teach her daughter a lesson.
"You are just like a block of wood. You should be more careful when you stay at your uncle's house. Work harder and eat less. Be smarter, okay? Don't get into trouble, or I won't let you live here anymore."
“Who wants to live here?”
Shen Xiao entered the house at some point and stood at the door of the main room, feeling cold all over.
"Hey, uncle is back."
Qiao Ergui saw Shen Xiao carrying a military green handbag and thought he had gone out to buy something for a customer.
He walked forward excitedly and reached out to grab the handbag from Shen Xiao's hand.
"They are all relatives. Xiao Shen, you are too polite. Why are you going out to buy things?"
Shen Xiao turned sideways and didn't let Qiao Ergui touch the luggage bag.
He walked past the crowd, came in front of Qiao Changhai, and put the luggage bag on the ground.
"Dad, who wants to live with us?"
Before Qiao Changhai could say anything, Qiao Ergui said with a smile, "It's your sister, my Hongmei. She will stay here today and learn the craft from your father."
Qiao Ergui also knew that it would be inconvenient for the young couple if Kang Hongmei, an outsider, moved in.
Smiling, he explained, "Don't worry, I won't live with you two. Hongmei will sleep on the same kang with her third uncle and aunt."
"That won't work either!"
Shen Xiao had a cold face and directly refused.
Qiao Ergui didn't expect Shen Xiao to disagree. She widened her eyes and blurted out, "Why do you disagree? This is not your home. What you two say doesn't count. You live in the family compound and don't come back often.
Hongmei lives here and can also cook for her third uncle and clean the house.
Your father-in-law is happy to do so, why don't you allow him to do so? ”
Seeing that she couldn't take advantage of him, Qiao Ergui dared to slap Shen Xiao in the face. She made up her mind that Qiao Changhai would never reject his own niece, let alone let a son-in-law take charge of the family.
"Our family is going to the provincial capital. There's no one at home. It's not appropriate to leave the guests here alone."
Shen Xiao had a cold face and spoke directly and touchingly: “The train is at nine o’clock tonight, and we still have to pack up later.
It is not convenient to receive Second Aunt now. You should go first while it is still early. ”
