The matter came to an end. Mrs. Qiao took Kiki and talked to her daughter so that her grandparents could see it.
After Kiki was able to speak, she became very fluent. Every few words that came out of her mouth made the whole family happy.
Kiki, who had seen all the doctors but to no avail, showed such remarkable results after being treated by Qiao Zhiyi a few times. It's truly amazing!
Mrs. Qiao now adores her sister-in-law to death.
It is already amazing to have a college student in the family, let alone one with such great medical skills. It must be a great honor for the family.
It seems that although the Qiao family's ancestors were wealthy, they never had a doctor.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Qiao were very proud.
However, they also knew that the credit should go to the Lou family.
If it weren't for the Lou family, they wouldn't have the conditions to cultivate their daughter.
Next, Qiao Zhiyi wanted to talk to Tangtang alone.
The little girl's temper is a little too arrogant now, and she is fearless, but she is just a child after all. She can't think of anything else and just follows her temper. If one day she hurts herself because of her temper, crying will be of no use.
Qiao Zhiyi first praised her for being brave this morning, and Tangtang, who liked to hear nice words, looked proud.
Then, Qiao Zhiyi's "but" came, "But you are still a child. Luckily, the person you just met was not very powerful. But if you met a powerful person with helpers nearby, and we adults didn't notice it in time, don't you think you would be at a disadvantage if you were alone?"
Tangtang thought quietly for a few seconds, "Then I will run!"
"What if I can't outrun you?"
"I don't know either……"
Qiao Zhiyi told her that when encountering problems, try not to confront them head-on, and use wits if possible. If you are not sure you can win, you must tell an adult immediately and let the adults solve the problem.
"What if adults don't help me?" Tangtang asked.
"Since you mentioned it, I will definitely help you. Like today, we faced the problem together. If you were bullied, I would be bullied. We are one, right?"
Qiao Zhiyi's words were so persuasive that Tangtang nodded.
Qiao Zhiyi continued, "So if you encounter something like this again in the future, don't confront it alone. If you got scratched today, for example, it wasn't your butt that hit a rock like Qiqi did, but your face, that would be terrible, wouldn't it?"
After hearing this, Tangtang held her cute face and said, "Well, that won't look good anymore."
"You are a child now. If you encounter any problems, you must tell us as soon as possible, understand?"
"I see!"
Qiao Zhiyi hugged her and said, "I know you are the best and most obedient, but fighting like today cannot happen again, because I will be worried."
"Yeah, I promise I won't do it again." Tangtang is the typical girl who responds to soft words and not to tough ones. Qiao Zhiyi's gentle persuasion made her obey involuntarily.
"Let's go make you some grass jelly."
Tangtang followed happily.
Qiqi also followed happily.
Father Qiao and Brother Qiao went back to work depending on the time.
Qiao Zhiyi and her sister-in-law washed the fresh grass jelly they picked, put it into a pot and boiled it, adding some natural alkaline water.
This alkaline water was prepared when the family made steamed buns. It was boiled with wood ash and then filtered many times. The clear alkaline water left at the end can be used to make noodles and the yellow cake that the locals love to eat.
To cook the grass jelly, you need to add a certain amount of alkaline water so that the grass jelly can quickly produce gelatin. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and cook for an hour...
The remaining fresh grass jelly can be placed outside to dry and can be used at any time in the future.
The herbal jelly was put into the pot to be boiled. Coincidentally, the member who had come for the consultation yesterday brought his child for acupuncture, so Qiao Zhiyi gave the child acupuncture.
Tangtang and Qiqi were watching nearby.
Kiki's sister who came to see her for treatment cried even more than her, so she remained calm.
I feel much braver now.
The child's parents also heard about what happened early in the morning and asked Qiao's mother what was going on.
Most of the people who came to the Qiao family to see Qiao Zhiyi for medical treatment had never suffered any loss from the Qiao family before, so they felt comfortable coming. Qiao's mother and sister-in-law told the visitors the situation in detail.
The child's parents said, "Mrs. Wu Zhou has always been domineering. Now that your family is doing well, it's time for you to stand up for yourself. Don't be afraid of her."
"Yes, everyone has seen that the team is now biased towards your family, so there is no need to worry about the drama."
"I heard that Wu Zhou is planning to marry off her youngest daughter soon. I guess she wants to charge your family a few bucks to supplement her daughter's dowry..."
Qiao's mother also heard about this. "I heard that the man is not good-looking. He is short and old. What does the Wu family want?"
"What else can we do? Exchange marriages. Although the Wu family is overbearing, we are a wealthy family. The Wu family has three sons. After the eldest son got married, the family's wealth was clean. The second son also relied on the eldest daughter to exchange for marriage. Now there is only a young son and daughter left in the family. The old Wu family is planning to let the youngest daughter be exchanged for marriage and marry the sister of the other party to the youngest son."
Mrs. Qiao poured them some water and said, "I heard that the young lady from the Wu family has a boyfriend..."
The visitor said, "She did have a date with someone from the next brigade, but that guy's family didn't have much money, and he didn't have any sisters or anything. Wu Zhou wasn't satisfied, so she forced her daughter to marry someone else..."
Exchange marriages are not a new thing in the countryside. Many families who don't have the money to marry a daughter-in-law force their daughters to exchange marriages. Some girls are stubborn and refuse to marry, so there's nothing you can do about it. But some girls are soft-hearted and their parents will give in after shedding a few tears...
