"Oh, Qiaoqiao is back. I was just talking to Sister Lin about you when you were little."
As soon as Peng Cuiying saw Jiang Qiaoqiao, she greeted her warmly.
"Sister Lin said that when you were very young, you would help with housework, such as cutting pig feed. You were still short of the stove, so you would stand on a small stool to cook for the family, unlike Ranran back then..."
When she mentioned Ranran, she saw a fleeting hint of sarcasm on Jiang Qiaoqiao's face, and her expression turned awkward for a moment.
Then, even more embarrassed, she wiped away her tears, "Mom had no idea you had such a hard childhood. It breaks my heart to think about it, sob sob..."
Jiang Qiaoqiao's expression grew even colder, but she didn't say anything, just quietly watched her performance.
Lin Xiaohui, standing to the side, seemed a little nervous. "Qiaoqiao, Mom..."
Jiang Qiaoqiao gave Lin Xiaohui a gentle smile. "Mom, it's okay. Once you've packed your things, come with your brother."
Yang Jianguo couldn't help but scold Lin Xiaohui, "Mom, they've all treated my sister like that, and she doesn't like her either. Why are you still talking to them so much?"
Lin Xiaohui said with a troubled expression, "I don't know either... She just apologized as soon as she arrived and told me a lot about how she should treat Qiaoqiao well and make it up to her. I thought that since she is Qiaoqiao's biological mother, if I told her about all the hardships Qiaoqiao suffered when she was little, maybe she would genuinely feel sorry for Qiaoqiao. I was thinking that it would be good if more people could care for your sister together..."
"Ha!" Yang Jianguo couldn't help but snort coldly. "Mom, when they came to our house to take my sister away two years ago, didn't they know how much she suffered?"
If they wanted to be good to their sister, they would have done so long ago. Why would they wait until now to say these things to her? From now on, just ignore her!
"People like them, after hearing you say how hard your sister suffered as a child, might even think in their hearts that your sister was born to be a servant girl and that only their adopted daughter deserves a good life!"
When Yang Jianguo said this, he deliberately glanced at Peng Cuiying.
Peng Cuiying looked away guiltily, because she had genuinely thought the same thing when she heard Lin Xiaohui say those things.
She felt that since Jiang Qiaoqiao had done all the harder and more tiring work when she was in the Yang family, all she had to do when she returned to the Jiang family was cook, wash clothes, clean, and take care of the two of them, her brother, and her sister.
She did less work than she did when she was with the Yang family.
Jiang Qiaoqiao was so good to the Yang family, yet she hated them. Isn't this just Jiang Qiaoqiao coming to their house to collect a debt?
Lin Xiaohui glanced at Jiang Qiaoqiao with some unease.
Seeing that Huo Beixiao was with Jiang Qiaoqiao, she felt relieved and went out with Yang Jianguo.
Jiang Qiaoqiao remained silent, coldly watching Peng Cuiying perform.
Peng Cuiying herself couldn't keep up the act, and said dryly, "Qiaoqiao, well, Mom didn't come here today for anything. Your dad just asked me to come and see Sister Lin and you. If you need any help here, I'll lend a hand."
Mom checked and it didn't seem like Sister Lin needed any help, so Mom left first.
Jiang Jiahua's sole purpose in calling Peng Cuiying here today was to make her presence known to Jiang Qiaoqiao.
Jiang Jiahua said that Jiang Qiaoqiao's resentment towards them is too deep now, and this relationship cannot be repaired overnight. It will take several more visits, and before the relationship is repaired, they cannot make any demands on Jiang Qiaoqiao.
According to her thinking, there was absolutely no need to repair her relationship with Jiang Qiaoqiao.
The boss urgently needs money, and Jiang Qiaoqiao wants to sever ties.
But since she gave birth to Jiang Qiaoqiao and gave her life, she made Jiang Qiaoqiao pay money to buy off the relationship.
Now that she has the money, she won't have to deal with Jiang Qiaoqiao, that debt collector, anymore.
After Peng Cuiying left, Huo Beixiao reached out and squeezed Jiang Qiaoqiao's hand, saying in a deep and powerful voice, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Jiang Qiaoqiao looked up and met the man's deep eyes. A smile spread across her pretty face, and she nodded firmly. "Mm!"
As soon as they stepped out of the ward, Lin Xiaohui and Yang Jianguo immediately came to greet them.
"She didn't say anything nasty, did she?"
"Qiaoqiao, does she want to ask you for something?"
Lin Xiaohui and Yang Jianguo spoke in unison.
Lin Xiaohui was concerned about whether Peng Cuiying had suffered any injustice, but Yang Jianguo saw through Peng Cuiying's intentions.
Jiang Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, they probably want money."
Around this time in her past life, Jiang Yongxian, the eldest son of the Jiang family, was getting married and buying a house. The Jiang family emptied their savings, and even called her, their daughter who had married into the countryside and was not usually allowed to return to the Jiang family, back home.
At that time, she still longed for the affection of the Jiang family, so she gave the money from selling the ducks that day to the Jiang family.
When she got back, she was almost beaten half to death by Qin Haiyang and Niu Chunhua. Fortunately, it was Old Xia who came to discuss opening a duck products shop with them, which saved her life.
It was on that occasion that Old Xia gave Qin Haiyang a warning.
From then on, Qin Haiyang dared not openly lay a hand on Xia because he dared not offend Elder Xia.
In truth, Jiang Yiran's life is much better than hers.
Even if Jiang Yiran marries Qin Haiyang, with the Jiang family backing her up, Qin Haiyang wouldn't dare to treat her too badly.
Yang Jianguo clenched his fists in anger. "I knew it! They were up to no good. How could they be so shameless? They treated you like that before, and now they have the nerve to come asking you for money!"
"Huh?" Lin Xiaohui hesitated, unable to believe it. She grasped Jiang Qiaoqiao's hand, her heart aching even more. "Qiaoqiao, she came here today... I thought it was because of that scoundrel of her adopted daughter that she finally remembered to treat her biological daughter well. Qiaoqiao, Mom..."
