When Qiao Zhen woke up, she saw her adoptive mother crying and standing by her bedside. Before she could react to what was happening, her adoptive mother threw herself on her.
"Waaaaah, it's all Mom's fault, they ruined your reputation, waaaaah..." The cheap mother's eyes seemed to hold a bottomless cup of water, which could never be stopped no matter how much it flowed.
Here's what happened: The original owner's father had an older brother, who was also the original owner's uncle. The original owner's grandparents not only favored boys over girls, but also favored the eldest son. The original owner's cousin was getting married this year and needed a wedding house, so the two elders set their sights on the dowry that the original owner's parents had prepared for her.
The original owner's mother, who is now her adoptive mother, was naturally unwilling. Since those strange relatives couldn't get any benefit from it, they spread rumors everywhere that the original owner had been dating recklessly, had even had a dead baby, had slept with countless men, and that no man wanted her. They said keeping her dowry would be useless and it would be better to give it to the original owner's cousin.
"Mom, if you and Dad can't handle this, then let me do it."
Mrs. Qiao was stunned, and tears streamed down her face again. "Waaah, it's all my fault. They're all your father's relatives. Your father can't be so ruthless. How can we face each other in the future?"
Qiao Zhen felt her head throb even more. How could she possibly expect to maintain contact with such relatives in the future? Were they just there for the New Year? She pulled the blanket up and buried her face in it; sleep made her happy.
But her stepmother's crying was even louder, so Qiao Zhen had no choice but to throw off the covers and sit up. "Mom, how much dowry did Dad and you prepare for me? Is it all for me?"
Mrs. Qiao nodded repeatedly, "There's a small apartment not far from here, about 60 or 70 square meters, and a savings account with 100,000 yuan."
This is a second-tier city, and a 60-70 square meter apartment isn't cheap. These parents are quite good to their daughter, but they're both too weak-willed. "Come with me to transfer the property tomorrow."
Mrs. Qiao was taken aback. "What?"
Qiao Zhen patiently repeated, "Come with me to transfer the property tomorrow. Dad is easily swayed, and you can't fight them. My reputation is ruined. If they keep bothering me, I'm afraid my dowry will be gone."
Qiao's mother looked at Qiao Zhen in disbelief, "Zhenzhen, how could you, how could you say such a thing?!"
Having absorbed the original owner's memories, Qiao Zhen said without any politeness, "That's the truth. If you want to give them to them, then give them to them directly. If you don't want to give them to them, then transfer the ownership to me. How else can I speak? Are they even human? Did they think about how I would live after they spread rumors about me? Are you forcing me to die?!"
When dealing with someone as easily swayed as Qiao's mother, one cannot show any weakness in their words; one must exaggerate the severity of the situation. The original owner of this body died because of the weakness of Qiao's parents, and she really didn't want to face such a thing. Enemies are as fierce as tigers, teammates are as soft as cats, and these incompetent teammates even rely on their parents' status to hold her back. A person who is not mentally strong has no hope for the rest of their life unless they die.
Mrs. Qiao looked flustered, and after a long while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Fine! I'll go and persuade your father!"
Before her stepmother left, Qiao Zhen folded pillows and leaned against her back, pondering how to resolve the situation. This family affair was far from resolved; how could she continue living a life of leisure?
Mrs. Qiao was very efficient. The next day, Mr. Qiao took Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Zhen to transfer the property. The procedures were not complicated. Qiao Zhen just followed behind the two of them and signed a few documents.
When the three of them returned to the apartment complex together, those eccentric relatives were all waiting in the stairwell.
Mr. and Mrs. Qiao stood in front of Qiao Zhen to protect her, but Qiao Zhen pushed them aside and squeezed through the gap between them. "Why are you here again? To see if I'm dead or not? I'm so sorry, I'm not dead. I'm sorry to disappoint you."
Mr. Qiao's face darkened. "Qiao Zhen! How dare you speak to me like that?!"
Uncle Qiao, as if he had someone backing him up, mocked Qiao Zhen, "Look at you, a girl, you don't even know manners, so petty!"
Qiao Zhen seemed to find it a joke, "That depends on who you're dealing with. Someone has died in my belly, what are you still doing here? Go see if the child in my belly has come looking for revenge in the middle of the night?"
My cousin Qiao looks handsome, but he's a complete scoundrel. He idles away his days, sponging off his parents. He even tried to take a cut of his own cousin's dowry when he got married. He's incredibly stupid. "How dare you talk to my dad like that? He's your uncle, so you have to listen to him!"
"Hahahaha." Qiao Zhen couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Is your father an emperor? He even threatened to kill me if I didn't listen? Come on, let me see where your father's country is." Her gaze swept over her cousin Qiao. "Oh, your father only has you as his son. Even if he had a country, it would perish sooner or later."
Brother Qiao was so angry he couldn't speak.
Mr. Qiao's face turned bright red, while Mrs. Qiao timidly hid behind him.
