Xiao Qiao was so surprised that her jaw almost dropped.
Seeing her youngest daughter staring at her incredulously, Grandma Qiao even thought her youngest daughter was slow-witted:
"Xiao Qiao, you're too young to understand! I'm talking about your older sister, so don't interrupt."
Mrs. Qiao looked at her eldest daughter with great anticipation.
Qiao Jingjing rubbed her temples.
The issue the elderly mother raised was quite specific.
But if she went back to her elderly mother, wouldn't she just repeat the days she spent in Lujiang City a few years ago, being scolded mercilessly by her mother every few days and having her personal freedom restricted...
If she could choose for herself.
If Qiao Jingjing could establish her own household, independent of the Sun family and her own family, free from the intrigues and power struggles of the Sun family and the petty squabbles and chaos of her own family, that would be the perfect life of a wealthy and leisurely person.
“Mother, my husband has only been gone for less than three months, his body is barely cold. It is too disheartening for you to say such things now. It makes us, the Qiao family, look down on us. I will make my own decision on this matter!”
Qiao Jingjing flatly refused her mother's offer and immediately called for Ye Rong.
"Open my box. There is a string of pearls from the East China Sea and a piece of jade from the Western Regions. Take them out and wrap them up."
Qiao Jingjing handed the two treasures to her mother.
"Mother, thank you for coming to see me every few days. Your health is not good to begin with, so you don't have to worry about me. I have Manman here with me, so don't worry. Take good care of yourself and go back soon."
Qiao Jingjing used two precious items to send her mother away.
Qiao Manman stood next to her older sister, completely at a loss for words.
Qiao Manman often felt that her mother had an unusual physique and thought things that were different from ordinary people.
If you insist that your mother's considerations are wrong, she has her reasons.
In this kind of world, people hope that widows will remarry.
The population is small.
Young widows remarrying can increase the birth rate.
Especially someone like her older sister, who is both beautiful and talented, and has a whole chest of wealth, is incredibly popular.
But this is, after all, only in theory.
Logically speaking, who would want to see her older sister change her mind so quickly and forget her brother-in-law, such a brave and invincible man?
Qiao Manman didn't dare to ask her older sister what she was thinking.
Anyway, her older sister has always been a very decisive person.
When Grandma Qiao returned home carrying the two large treasures, she said to her husband, Qiao Xuan:
“Your eldest daughter has really grown up now, I can’t control her anymore! Madam Wu asked me to comfort her, and as her mother, I sincerely went to comfort her, afraid that she would be sad and heartbroken. I advised her to think more positively, to look at the future, and that she could come back to her parents’ home and find a suitable person to marry again later.”
Don't you see that Madam Xu Jiao, who lives in General Sun's household now, is the widow of the Lu family?
Guess how your eldest daughter rejected me? She said she would make her own decision.
well!
I'm too old, I can't control her anymore.
Mrs. Qiao sighed and told her husband that she truly loved her eldest daughter this time and that she was the one who had been misunderstood.
Qiao Xuan looked at his old wife as if she were a fool.
"When Madam Wu calls you, go. But you must keep your mouth shut! Talk to those two sisters often, say whatever you want!"
What time is it now? How long has it been since Lord Wu died?
So you're encouraging your eldest daughter to go back to her parents' home to prepare for remarriage?
Your eldest daughter is the one who raised a son in the Sun family and gave birth to twin daughters!
How do you think she'll go back to her parents' home?
Should she abandon her son and daughter, or take them back to her parents' home and remarry?
"My dear Qiao'er, having a mother like you is truly a misfortune in this life!"
This is the most serious sentence that Qiao Xuan, the old father, said to his wife after they were found years ago.
Grandma Qiao stared at the screen for a long time, trying to process what was happening.
"What did you say? Qiao Xuan, what did you say! Explain yourself clearly, what do you mean your Da Qiao'er is suffering? Yes! Her husband just died, and I feel sorry for her too, don't I? Isn't my idea for her own good?"
Qiao Xuan's face turned red with anger, his white hair and red face were flushed.
"If you really care about Da Qiao, then shut up. Mind your own business and don't say a word!"
Da Qiao is finding it difficult to move forward in the Sun family. With your son-in-law dead, leaving behind so much property, and your position as the housekeeper, Da Qiao, is coveted by others.
You're as if you're afraid Da Qiao isn't troubled enough, so you keep saying these troubling things to torment her!
Qiao Xuan gave his wife a good scolding.
Mrs. Qiao was still muttering to herself.
"So you're the good dad, the best dad, you love your daughter, but you can't love me? You deserve to be a father, and I don't deserve to be a mother? I gave birth to her myself, am I not her mother, do I not love her?"
rambling on and on.
This is what is known as internal strife.
Qiao Jingjing's difficulties originally stemmed only from her sorrow and grief over Sun Ce's death, the hardships of raising her children alone, and the constant anxiety and struggles of living in a large family.
Because her mother came out of nowhere and said some nonsensical things.
Rumors then circulated in the Sun family that Lady Da Qiao wanted to return to her parents' home.
The rumor from a couple of days ago was that Lady Da Qiao was going to take her son and daughter to her hometown of Fuchun to guard Sun Ce's tomb, but was scolded by Lady Wu for harboring evil intentions.
This time, the rumor that the widow would remarry because it was going to rain has resurfaced.
The Xie family, who had suddenly been neglected, was now living in seclusion in their own house. Surely, this had nothing to do with her anymore?
Madam Wu was so angry that she had a headache and pounded her chest.
Sun Shangxiang comforted her mother from the side:
