Qiao Changfu's heart seemed to be opened by something.
He left thoughtfully and found a quiet place to ponder and think.
Zhao Xiangqin and Zhang Xiaoxia, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were completely obsessed with the washing machine.
Originally, when she heard that Qiao Jinfeng did not learn tailoring skills from Qiao Baozhu, she felt upset and uncomfortable.
Now Zhao Xiangqin is very satisfied and can make money by following Qiao Baozhu.
"Mom, this is my salary for the past two months. My sister gave it to me and I'm saving it for you. I won't buy it this year, but I'll buy you a washing machine next year during the Chinese New Year.
From now on, you don’t have to wash your clothes by yourself anymore, and your hands won’t get frostbite or go hungry. ”
Qiao Jinfeng held her mother's hand, tears in her eyes.
It was not until she followed her cousin that she realized how shallow she had been.
After seeing the bigger world, Qiao Jinfeng realized how narrow her vision was before.
It turns out that girls can also earn money with their own hands and buy gifts for their parents. As long as you have the ability, you have the right to speak out.
For example, rejecting someone you don't want to marry.
"Mom, send someone to tell me that I'll go on a blind date when I come back."
This time, Qiao Jinfeng did not express her dissatisfaction by throwing a tantrum, but negotiated with her parents calmly.
"I was afraid that you wouldn't understand what I was saying. So I came back this time to tell you in person."
Qiao Jinfeng's serious look made Zhao Xiangqin feel that she looked familiar. She always felt that her daughter made her feel strange. It seems like I've seen it somewhere.
"Mom, I'll only be 19 after the Chinese New Year, which is a good age to work hard. I don't want to waste my youth in marriage, spending the whole day around the stove and taking care of a man and children for the rest of my life."
"Isn't that how all women come here?"
Zhao Xiangqin opened her mouth and said, "There are so many women on the farm who make money. Every family is headed by a woman. Even if I don't make money, look at me. Although I don't make money, doesn't your father dare to say anything to me? Isn't the money of our family still in my own hands?"
Qiao Jinfeng smiled faintly: "If I really want to say that to you, why did you send me to the city to learn a craft?"
"With a skill to rely on, even if a man treats you badly in the future, you can still rely on yourself to survive. Mom, you said this at the beginning. Relying on a man is not the only way out, it is the worst way out."
Zhao Xiangqin certainly understood that although she was living a good life, she just didn't want her daughter to suffer like this.
"Whatever the solution is, you have to get married. You will be 19 in the new year. If you wait another two years and become an old maid, you won't be able to find a good family."
Qiao Jinfeng smiled coldly: "Mom, you don't know. Zhao Haiyang has a son. His second-married wife gave birth to a big fat boy for him. Sister Xifeng is still locked up in a mental hospital. She is neither human nor ghost, and she just talks nonsense."
"The man Sister Xifeng married was not bad. Zhao Haiyang was the educated youth my father favored. He was educated, gentle, and good in every way. Now it seems that men are the best at disguising themselves. You won't know his true face until the day he dies."
Speaking of Zhao Haiyang.
Zhao Xiangqin shuddered all over.
It was because of her help that Zhao Haiyang was appreciated by Qiao Changfu back then.
Because they both have the surname Zhao, and Zhao Haiyang is from that hometown. Although the ancestors of the two families did not know each other, Zhao Xiangqin had a natural liking for Zhao Haiyang because they were from the same province.
Zhao Xiangqin's family came from outside the Great Wall to the Northeast.
Zhao Haiyang was a worker in the countryside who came from the outside of the Great Wall to work in the Great Northern Wilderness.
Same province, same accent, same clan, same origin, same surname.
The more Zhao Xiangqin looked at Zhao Haiyang, the closer he became to him. Qiao Changfu also noticed this boy and was willing to use him, promote him, and even arrange a matchmaking to marry his niece to him.
The reason why Qiao Xifeng ended up like this was not only because of her own fault, but also because of the matchmaker.
Because Zhao Haiyang was someone that Qiao Changfu had high hopes for, Qiao Xifeng ended up like this. Qiao Changfu felt very guilty about it, and Zhao Xiangqin also felt guilty.
"Not all men are like Zhao Haiyang. You can't stop wanting to get married just because of him."
Zhao Xiangqin said this out of guilt, fearing that her poor eyesight might lead to another bad man for her daughter.
"Sometimes I wonder, if Xifeng hadn't exchanged her marriage, and she had married Shen Xiao. And Zhao Haiyang had married Sister Baozhu, what would the situation be like now?"
Zhao Xiangqin was startled and her eyes widened: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I just told my mom privately. I didn't joke with her in front of Sister Baozhu."
Zhao Xiangqin smiled disdainfully: "With Zhao Haiyang's character, it's a waste even if he marries the daughter of the Queen Mother. What did your father say about him? Cover your eyes!"
"It means to be ambitious, which means to have high aspirations."
Qiao Jinfeng has recently read several Chinese language books with Qiao Baozhu and can now use idioms when speaking.
"It's all the same. He's the same no matter who he marries. Now it seems that Baozhu is lucky to have a good man like Shen Xiao. He's good-looking, has a promising future, and treats his wife well."
Zhao Xiangqin secretly felt grateful that she could let her wife live in an apartment and use a washing machine without having to use it herself.
These days, wow, aren’t they like those of a god? !
"No! Impossible! If my sister had married Zhao Haiyang, she would never have ended up like Qiao Xifeng."
Divorced, abandoned, and locked up as a mental patient.
"My sister is capable of making money. Even after the divorce, she can still live a happy life. But Qiao Xifeng is different. She has no ability to make money, and she doesn't have her family to protect her. She is just a burden. Zhao Haiyang dumped her in order to live a better life."
Zhao Xiangqin sneered. Everyone knew that Zhao Haiyang had climbed up the social ladder and that was why he forced Qiao Xifeng to divorce.
He is a man who is fickle and easily dislikes the old and loves new things.
The reason why he married the daughter of the Qiao family was to curry favor with Qiao Changfu.
He saw that Qiao Changfu was unreliable, so he curried favor with a widow at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
Qiao Jinfeng saw that her mother didn't understand what she meant, and she felt secretly anxious. I was afraid that she would go find a matchmaker again to arrange a blind date for me.
Fortunately, Zhao Xiangqin was frightened.
With the failed example of Zhao Haiyang, she dared not to randomly find a partner for her daughter again.
Qiao Jinfeng spent two days of peaceful life at home, then drove her three-wheeled motorcycle back to the city, bringing food prepared by her family.
"Your sister is pregnant now, you should go visit her more often. I think you should ask your uncle and aunt to take her home. The whole family can live together and take care of each other."
Qiao Changfu gave his daughter instructions and looked at her thoughtfully.
"My third uncle wanted to take her back home a long time ago. My sister said that the courtyard is quiet and undisturbed. If she went back to her parents' home, the people who came to our house every day to look for my third uncle and to visit her and chat would be annoying."
"She doesn't have to go to work, it would be nice to have someone to chat with her to kill time."
"My sister is busy. Isn't the college entrance examination reinstated? My sister is studying at home every day, preparing to take the college entrance examination and the university entrance examination."
