Sure enough, half an hour later, Uncle Qiao arrived.
When Jiang Yao saw Grandpa Qiao's face, it was as black as ash from a pot, and he looked very angry.
She hurried to the door and welcomed Uncle Qiao into the house.
"Grandpa, come in quickly."
When Uncle Qiao saw Jiang Yao, he grinned, "Jiang Yao, I thought you weren't home."
Jiang Yao brought the dishes over. "Grandpa, I knew you were coming, so I cooked dinner for you. I've cooked dinner and am waiting for you here."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Qiao Qiaomei and said, "Qiaomei, hurry up and serve Grandpa some rice."
Qiao Qiaomei obeyed and said, "Grandpa, you eat."
Uncle Qiao had a sullen face and ignored Qiao Qiaomei. Instead, he looked at Jiang Yao and said, "Jiang Yao, sit down and eat with us."
"Okay, Grandpa."
Jiang Yao immediately picked up a piece of meat and gave it to Uncle Qiao, "Grandpa, have some meat."
"Jiang Yao, you eat too."
Seeing Qiao Qiaomei standing there motionless, Jiang Yao said, "Qiaomei, sit down and eat with us."
Uncle Qiao glanced at Qiao Qiaomei indifferently and said, "Qiaomei, after dinner tonight, you should not stay at your brother Yongkang's house."
"Why!" Qiao Qiaomei said in a tone of confusion.
Uncle Qiao snorted coldly, "You still have the nerve to ask me why? You have completely disgraced our Qiao family."
Qiao Qiaomei said nothing and could only wink at Jiang Yao, indicating that Jiang Yao should come forward and speak.
Jiang Yao took a look and curled her lips. "Grandpa, this isn't Qiao Qiaomei's fault. She just misheard."
Uncle Qiao glanced at Qiao Qiaomei and said, "If she misheard, why would she need to apologize to Jiang Yao in person over the radio?"
The corners of Qiao Qiaomei's mouth twitched involuntarily. After thinking for a moment, she explained, "Grandpa, I broadcast my apology to demonstrate my sincerity!"
Uncle Qiao sighed in disappointment, "Qiaomei, your story has spread. Regardless of whether you misheard it or not, you are spreading rumors. You are breaking the law."
Qiao Qiaomei didn't dare to speak and could only lower her head, but she still did not forget to wink at Jiang Yao.
Seeing this, Jiang Yao immediately explained, "Grandpa, Qiao Qiaomei misheard and wasn't making up rumors. She also apologized to me. This matter is over, and she can't live in my house anymore."
"Jiang Yao, are you trying to drive me away?" Qiao Qiaomei said anxiously.
Jiang Yao simply grinned and said calmly, "Qiao Qiaomei, I only promised to explain it to Grandpa on your behalf. I didn't agree to let you continue living in my house."
Uncle Qiao nodded, "I agree."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Qiao Qiaomei and ordered, "Qiaomei, quickly pack your clothes and come home with me."
Qiao Qiaomei was furious and raised her voice, "Jiang Yao, how could you go back on your word?"
Jiang Yao frowned slightly, "Why did I go back on my word?"
She sneered, "Qiao Qiaomei, whether you heard it right or not, when you heard this, didn't you ask me for confirmation? But you spread it out. I could have reported you to the police, but I didn't. What else do you want me to do?"
Qiao Qiaomei was in the wrong, but she had finally managed to live in Qiao Yongkang's house, so how could she leave so easily?
"Sister-in-law, I really didn't mean it. I just lost control of my mouth for a moment."
The next second, Qiao Yongkang's voice came from the door, "Qiao Qiaomei is indeed not suitable to live in our house."
Jiang Yao blinked in surprise, "Yongkang, why are you back?"
Yongkang replied, "I'm free tonight."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Qiao Qiaomei, "Qiaomei, whether you heard it right or not? Yaoyao didn't bother with you. She just did it because of the favor that Grandpa saved my life. Otherwise, she wouldn't have shown you mercy."
Qiao Qiaomei refuted again, "I really didn't hear it wrong."
Qiao Yongkang sneered, "Alright, even if you didn't mishear, this concerns Jiang Yao's reputation. Can't you be more cautious? Ask me in person."
He paused, "You chose to spread rumors everywhere. Isn't that what family members should do?"
Qiao Qiaomei was very unconvinced and continued to argue, "I'm doing this for your own good."
Qiao Yongkang retorted: "If you want to do this for my own good, you should keep it low-key instead of spreading it everywhere."
Qiao Qiaomei wanted to say something else, but Qiao Yongkang spoke first, "Anyway, I can let you off the hook today for Grandpa's sake, but I can also report the case without doing so."
Jiang Yao's heart warmed. She didn't expect Qiao Yongkang to defend her so much.
At this point, Qiao Qiaomei could only nod and say, "Okay. I'll go back."
But she was very dissatisfied in her heart.
Jiang Yao, next time I won't let you escape so easily.
"Qiao Qiaomei, you will go on a blind date with me tomorrow."
"Grandpa, I'm still young, I won't get married."
Uncle Qiao said coldly, "Go and see the potential partner first. As for whether to marry or not? We can talk about it later."
"Grandpa, I can go back anyway, but I can't go on a blind date, so you don't have to force me."
Uncle Qiao was so angry that his body was shaking, and his voice was trembling, "You...are you going to piss me off to death?"
Qiao Qiaomei responded bluntly, "I don't. Anyway, I don't know how to go on blind dates."
"Since you're not going, I can only invite someone else to my house."
Qiao Qiaomei raised her voice in dissatisfaction, "Grandpa, why do you have to force me to go on a blind date?"
"Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough! In short, there is no need to discuss this matter further." Uncle Qiao responded stiffly.
Seeing that Uncle Qiao couldn't be persuaded, Qiao Qiaomei looked at Yongkang and said, "Brother Yongkang, please try to persuade Grandpa. I just want to work harder for a few more years and make more money."
Qiao Yongkang responded: "This is your lifelong event, I can't get involved. But what grandpa said is right, you can meet the other person, you don't have to marry him."
"No, I won't go! If you force me again, I'll just die."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Qiaomei threw down her chopsticks and ran out.
Seeing this, Uncle Qiao sighed helplessly.
"Grandpa, I'll go out and find her."
"No need, she'll come back when she calms down."
But after waiting for two hours, Qiao Qiaomei still didn't come back.
"Grandpa, Qiaomei hasn't come back yet. I'd better go out and look for her."
Uncle Qiao shook his head. "She said she might not return to Huangxi."
Qiao Yongkang suggested, "Then I'll go home with you and take a look."
"Alright!"
Jiang Yao waited until nine o'clock but didn't see Qiao Yongkang come back, so she went to bed first.
It was probably late at night when there was a knock on the door. "Yaoyao, I'm back."
Jiang Yao opened the door and asked, "Why did you take so long?"
"Qiao Qiaomei, just found it."
"That's good!"
But Jiang Yao saw that Qiao Yongkang looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak.
"Yaoyao, I have to go to the county town to attend a veterinary training tomorrow, so I may need to stay for a few days."
"That's a good thing."
Qiao Yongkang shook his head, "But what can you do alone? I'm afraid the bully's men will retaliate against you."
