"Mother, what are my sister and me in your heart? Are we sinners in this family as long as we don't get married?"
You watch helplessly as fields of crops go to waste, unwilling to look for the reasons or change your methods; you only say the fault lies with me and my sister!
Qiao Manman is not unafraid of being beaten.
It's because Lü Meng was there.
The old mother retorted, "Isn't that right? As long as you sisters remain unmarried, you are sinners in this family!"
Qiao Manman was on the verge of tears.
Qiao Jingjing pulled Qiao Manman back to her side.
“Mother, Manman doesn’t mean any harm to you. We’re not trying to contradict you. You’re right, it’s time for Xiao Qiao and me to get married!”
Please rest assured, Mother.
Qiao Jingjing pulled Qiao Manman along as they went home.
To think that one could overthrow the old mother's rule by using Chen Tian to cause trouble with three hundred men and Yu Zhu's treason is simply too naive.
The old mother's deeply ingrained feudal ideas were like a mountain pressing down on her.
It was already a relief that she and Qiao Manman could catch their breath.
Qiao Jingjing sat by the window.
for a long time.
She looked at her face in the bronze mirror. To be honest, the scar on her face was indeed getting smaller and smaller. In the past two years, she hadn't gone to the mulberry orchard or the fishpond, which had actually made her skin even whiter.
If it weren't for this fine scar on my face, my appearance would be anything but shameful.
Yu Zhu has already been taken away by the slave trader.
The remaining magnolia suddenly became very cautious.
Yulan, acting on behalf of the old lady, relayed a message to the Qiao sisters, and suddenly became very polite.
"Miss, Fourth Miss, the old lady has sent you dinner. Please come over immediately."
Today, the Second Madam also came with the young master.
The second wife that Yulan mentioned is He Miaomiao.
Thanks to his elderly mother, who favored sons over daughters, he believed that his sons didn't need to work, could study, practice swordsmanship, make friends, and even take many concubines.
Qiao Er and He Miaomiao originally had a very good relationship.
After the old mother returned, she insisted that her son's single wife was not impressive enough, so she hurriedly spent several dozen taels of silver to buy four cheap and beautiful girls, placing two of them between Qiao Er and He Miaomiao.
The old mother waved her hand and placed the other two in Qiao San's room.
Before Qiao San even got married, he already had a beautiful concubine to serve him.
For a time, the two brothers were absolutely overjoyed.
At that time, Qiao Er and Qiao San didn't care about Qiao Jingjing and Qiao Manman at all. They didn't care that the two of them were being beaten and scolded every few days. They only felt that their old mother had returned. The life of a rich young master who was loved by his mother was wonderful.
From then on, He Miaomiao began to compete with the concubines for the emperor's favor.
She finally conceived after a long and arduous journey, and gave birth to a son.
Only then was her position in the Qiao family truly secure.
Tonight, He Miaomiao brought her son, Ayan, to Grandma Qiao's side to serve her dinner.
Actually, it wasn't that Grandma Qiao wanted to see He Miaomiao.
She had experienced too many setbacks today and just wanted to see her beloved grandson to ease the pain in her heart.
However, this little grandson, who is only a little over a year old, is sallow-faced, thin, and cries constantly.
This directly made my elderly mother very irritable and restless.
Another bout of anger:
"Fine, fine, fine! I brought the child here hoping you could ease my mind! Look at him, look at him! What have you raised your son like? All he knows is to cry, all he knows is to cry! He's almost two years old and still can't speak! If I had raised your son like this, what would I have done?"
The elderly mother didn't scold Qiao Jingjing, so she vented her anger on He Miaomiao.
Having spent the past two years living with her mother-in-law, He Miaomiao has come to understand her all too well.
Just answer whatever your mother-in-law says.
He could even be ruthless to his own daughters, beating Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao until they were covered in bruises. He could verbally abuse the two girls until they cried, regardless of whether there were people around or not, and he wouldn't give the two sisters any face.
How dare He Miaomiao, a daughter-in-law, go against her mother-in-law?
So she just endured her mother-in-law's scolding.
It was Qiao Jingjing who stood up for He Miaomiao tonight and said something in her defense.
Qiao Jingjing today is not the same as she used to be.
She already has Wu Xia Ameng by her side.
They should be viewed with new respect.
"My nephew's crying was not intentional, but rather meant to upset my mother."
Perhaps my nephew isn't feeling well. We should probably call a doctor to take a look. Even if he's not sick, prescribing some medicine to strengthen his spleen and stomach will help him eat more, and his face will become rosier, which will make everyone happy.”
Qiao Jingjing was still very careful.
When speaking to your elderly mother, try to maintain a traditional, old-fashioned style.
Surprisingly, Qiao's mother agreed with Qiao Jingjing's suggestion.
They've already sent people out with lanterns to fetch a doctor.
When the doctor arrived and examined the child, he pointed out many problems, the main one being an imbalance of the spleen and stomach, which caused various issues.
Qiao Er only has this one child, and he's extremely nervous.
After informing Old Man Qiao, he simply invited the doctor to stay at the Qiao family's house.
Take good care of your child's medical condition.
Those two days just happened to be the same.
Qiao's mother, who used to be angry all day long and would either hit or scold her two daughters, had been fine for two years, but suddenly lost her appetite.
Mrs. Joe has felt unwell ever since she saw her grandson that night.
Feeling listless, she slept in her room for two days.
She only relented when she could no longer hold on and asked the doctor to examine her as well.
Qiao Jingjing waited for two years.
I've finally gotten this opportunity.
