Now that things have come to a head, even if she were willing to swallow her pride and ask for their help, Ning Hongsheng, that fool, would be easier to fool, but Ning Hongze would not be so easily deceived.
This person has been petty and narrow-minded since childhood.
Qiao Min quickly thought about what had happened in her previous life and the development of the Tang Kingdom, hoping to find a better way to get rich.
To be honest, real estate is actually a good option, but it requires a lot of investment, and she can't come up with that much money right now.
"Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about?"
Qiao Xiaoyun pushed her unhappily, "You better speak up for me."
Qiao Xiaoyun handed the posters and magazines in her hand to Qiao Min, saying, "Look, my mother has torn all my things to shreds. She doesn't understand fashion at all."
“What is fashion? Can you eat it? These men are good-looking, so what? Can they feed you? Can they buy you clothes? If you can live off them just by looking at them, what use are they?” Fang He rattled off a bunch of things.
Fang He also felt that these boys, men who were good-looking, sang well, and acted well, could not put food on the table.
The thought of her daughter neglecting her studies because of the men in these magazines made her furious. She wanted to shake her daughter hard to bring her back to reality.
"I???????",
But that's just how she likes it.
Qiao Xiaoyun looked aggrieved.
“Sister-in-law, you’re angry too. I’ll talk to her properly.”
Pushing the rambling Fang He out of the room, Qiao Min saw Qiao Xiaoyun mending the torn posters while shedding tears, and her heart softened.
"Actually, it's not that your mom doesn't want you to see these things."
If she really didn't want it to happen, she would have torn all these things up long ago. She's only angry because she thinks you're neglecting your studies. If you weren't neglecting your studies, or if you were willing to work hard and strive for improvement for their sake, your mom definitely wouldn't stop you.
Qiao Min said softly.
In the 21st century, the obsession with celebrities was even more intense than it is now.
Of course, there are negative effects, but there are also positive effects.
Some young girls have learned a lot of languages in order to follow foreign celebrities. Fluency in languages gives them a significant advantage when looking for jobs in the future.
Some even plunged headlong into that circle, learning video editing, Photoshop, design, makeup, and so on, all to become better people for their favorite stars.
This is the kind of meaningful idol worship.
"Auntie, I just think they're good-looking. And I also want to be a movie star." Qiao Xiaoyun lowered her head shyly.
She thought she was pretty good-looking too, and that she looked quite good standing next to them.
“??????”
Qiao Min suddenly froze.
She suddenly didn't know how to comfort Qiao Xiaoyun.
With Qiao Xiaoyun's looks, well, that's a bit difficult.
"Alright, let's talk about this later. Go out and apologize to your mother properly first." Qiao Min stood up and pulled Qiao Xiaoyun up as well.
Seeing Qiao Min say this, even though Qiao Xiaoyun was unwilling, she still obediently went out to apologize and even reluctantly put away all the posters and magazines.
"Mom isn't really stopping you. Once you catch up in your studies, I definitely won't stop you. Actually, to be honest, these celebrities aren't as good-looking as Ning Zheyun."
Hmph, how can that clueless brat Ning Zheyun compare to them?
It's just something to fool a country girl.
Although she was one of those who were initially deceived, she eventually realized her mistake.
Ning Zheyun had no idea that Qiao Xiaoyun had been beaten up by her mother because of her. Of course, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care.
He and Qiao Xiaoyun were not familiar with each other.
"Sister, can you tell us about what's happening outside?" Qiao Fang asked, blinking her eyes.
In Qiao Fang's mind, her sister was a very capable person, and of course, she also knew things that many people didn't. She just couldn't understand why her sister would suddenly want to break off the engagement with Ning Hongsheng.
When her father asked her about it, she happily agreed.
If her father comes back now, he might be angry.
However, these are things her sister should face, and they don't have much to do with her.
The Qiao family had a large population.
Mr. and Mrs. Qiao had three sons and two daughters.
Mr. Qiao was a fairly open-minded man. After his two sons got married, the family separated.
Years ago, when Qiao's mother gave birth to her second child, she injured her body. They originally thought that they would only have Qiao Da and Qiao Er as their two sons. Who knew that more than ten years later, Qiao Min would be born.
The year after giving birth to Qiao Min, she gave birth to twins Qiao Fang and Qiao Da.
Therefore, Qiao Min, Qiao Fang, and Qiao Da are not much different in age from their nephews and nieces.
Ning's mother was in a really good mood.
Because she was happy, she even drank a little wine.
A gust of wind brings out the effects of the alcohol.
“Hongze, Mom is so happy.”
Ning's mother pounded her chest.
"Mom, why are you hitting yourself?" Ning Hong asked, pulling her mother's hands. "If you hurt yourself, I'll feel bad for you."
"Look at your mouth, all you know how to say is sweet talk." Ning's mother grasped Ning Hongze's hands in return.
The more I look at it, the happier I become.
"I must have done a lot of good deeds in my past life to have such a good son like you in this life." He is capable, sensible, and filial.
"Grandma, what about me?"
Ning Zheyun pushed his father aside.
"You are also Grandma's precious darling." Ning's mother hugged Ning Zheyun, and then saw Ning Hongsheng standing not far away with an embarrassed look on his face.
There was still a hint of expectation in her eyes.
Ning's mother's smile deepened. "Hongsheng too, I'm so happy to have such a wonderful child." The only regret she felt was that her daughter was the only one she missed.
Ning's mother has three children.
Two sons and one daughter.
The eldest son is Ning Hongze. His wife died early, and he had a son named Ning Zheyun.
The second daughter, named Ning Hongye, married a sent-down youth.
After the educated youth were allowed to return to the city, he left the village with that other educated youth.
I haven't been back for many years.
Two years ago, they would send letters back, but in the last two years, there hasn't been a single word from them.
She was always anxious, wanting to find her daughter, but the farthest she had ever been in her life was the town. If she really went to look for her, she was afraid she would lose herself.
"Hongze, when you have time, you should go and see Hongye." A woman, all alone, married to someone so far away, without any family to rely on, I wonder if they will mistreat Hongye.
