Lou Xinyue subconsciously looked at Qiao Zhiyi again, and Qiao Zhiyi was also looking at her. Lou Xinyue wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Mother Lou couldn't stand it any longer, so she got up and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
Xinyue and Xie Changrong are getting along like this now, and as parents, there is nothing they can do.
Mr. Lou drank tea strategically to cover up his embarrassment.
Xie Changrong kept staring at Pei Zheng's hand, "Your hand is really healed..."
"Is this true?" Pei Zheng flexed his left hand proudly. "My Zhizhi's medical skills are truly excellent..."
Lou Xinyue was being bullied from both sides and had long since reached the limit of her patience. She vented her anger and complained, "What's so great about that? If I hadn't been taken away by mistake, I would have learned excellent medical skills by now..."
Qiao Zhiyi immediately responded calmly, "When the college entrance examination was resumed last year, what were you doing?"
Lou Xinyue was extremely embarrassed and annoyed: "...There are so many people trying to compete with each other, how can I compete? I'm not like you, who can be recommended to go to university because of my status. It's my right to go to university!"
Father Lou tried to dissuade him, "Xinyue, stop talking..."
"Did I say something wrong?" Lou Xinyue was full of resentment.
Her purpose of returning to the Lou family was very simple. She wanted to take back everything that belonged to her and make Qiao Zhiyi lose everything that did not belong to her.
This way she can have a balanced mind.
But now, Qiao Zhiyi's life seems to be very comfortable, which makes it difficult for her to be happy, so her resentment becomes even greater.
Qiao Zhiyi smiled, "Whether you are right or not, my parents know best."
Father Lou sighed. "That university admission quota was actually earned by Zhizhi through her own ability. That year, your eldest sister Yujia graduated from high school and became an educated youth. Your younger brother was naughty, so I sent him to the army. Only Zhizhi stayed with us during the most difficult times at home. I was under investigation at the time and no longer had the ability to recommend her for university admission. It was she who saved the factory's Party Secretary's life with the Traditional Chinese Medicine she had learned since elementary school. To express their gratitude, they gave her a university admission quota..."
Mr. Lou was also deeply moved when talking about this.
Thanks to his adopted daughter, his investigation was completed and he was able to return to his post.
At that time, many people said that the second daughter was born into the Lou family to repay her gratitude, and he did not deny that it was true.
But the daughter he was most proud of was not his biological daughter.
Mr. Lou was also unhappy in his heart.
Xie Changrong also knew about this matter.
Unfortunately, everyone knows it except Lou Xinyue.
Lou Xinyue's face looked extremely ugly at this moment.
How come no one has ever told her this?
Lou Xinyue was still stubborn, "That...that's also...thanks to me, she can study Chinese medicine!"
Pei Zheng sneered, "Come on, forget it! There were so many old Chinese medicine practitioners sent down to the Meixi Brigade to live in the cowshed, and I never saw you learning from them. And now you're just flattering yourself!"
"Pei Zheng, you..." Lou Xinyue was ashamed and embarrassed, but Xie Changrong beside her was like a dead man, not willing to say a word to defend her, which made Lou Xinyue even more unbalanced.
"If you're not interested in this kind of thing, then you're not interested. Why do you have to compare yourself to my wife?" Pei Zheng simply disliked Lou Xinyue. "My wife was sent to live with her grandparents in the countryside by your parents when she was little. What? You want to go too?"
Lou Xinyue's face flushed with excitement.
Lou's mother came out of the kitchen and said awkwardly, "My husband and I were busy with work before and didn't have time to take care of Zhizhi, so..."
Pei Zheng sarcastically said, "Yes, yes. Now that I have a son, I'll have time to take care of the youngest."
Anyway, he had no plans to have any contact with Lou's parents in the future, so he might as well express his dissatisfaction to prevent Lou Xinyue from feeling that Qiao Zhiyi was taking advantage of her.
Lou's father and mother are a bit patriarchal. After giving birth to their eldest daughter, they actually had a daughter before Lou Xinyue, but unfortunately she died of illness one year. When they had the third child, they hoped to have a son, but it turned out to be a daughter. This made them a little exhausted, so they sent the wrongly adopted child, Qiao Zhiyi, to their parents' home in the countryside to be taken care of.
Lou's father's expression turned slightly unhappy. He was dissatisfied with Pei Zheng's directness and could only say, "When Zhizhi was little, we really didn't take good care of her..."
Lou's mother was dissatisfied with the young man Pei Zheng.
That's too rude!
Fortunately, he is not my own son-in-law!
There will be no contact in the future.
Lou Xinyue said with resentment: "Dad, our Lou family raised her, which is already her greatest blessing. Why are you apologizing to her? Then what about all the suffering I endured in the countryside over the years? Was all my suffering in vain?"
Qiao Zhiyi smiled. "This trip to the countryside to meet my relatives has changed a lot of my past prejudices. Before I went, I always thought my biological parents in the countryside favored boys over girls and didn't even give their daughter the opportunity to go to school. After I arrived, I realized that my family has always favored girls over boys!"
"So Xinyue used to not even have to wash her clothes at home. Either my mom or my sister-in-law would do it. She usually lived in the boarding school and had to save up the dirty clothes to take home. Everyone said I was a rich lady in the city, but I never received such treatment since I was a child..."
Qiao Zhiyi looked at Lou Xinyue's increasingly ugly expression and continued, "Xinyue, I see you've been living like a young lady in the countryside!"
"You..." Lou Xinyue glared at Qiao Zhiyi, "Don't confuse me. How can I compare to the good life you have?"
"Okay, shut up!" Father Lou scolded her.
Lou Xinyue shut her mouth in grievance, but Xie Changrong beside her just stood by and watched, not even willing to stand up for her.
