Qiao Shanshan had enough of being humiliated at her in-laws' house, and when she got home, Qi Xue still had to point her finger at her and yell at her.
Tears streamed down her face. "Brother, just watch over your wife..."
Before she could finish speaking, Qiao Xingwang glared at her irritably and said, "Shut up."
He increasingly looked down on Qiao Shanshan, thinking she had no real ability and was only good at sowing discord. If she were truly capable, she would be like Qiao Wanyue, able to make the commune leaders willingly help the Qiao family.
His wife shouldn't have to suffer like this.
Qiao Shanshan was stunned.
What happened to her older brother?
Qiao Xingwang pulled Qi Xue out and gently comforted her.
The house wasn't soundproof, and Qiao Wanyue could clearly hear the arguing inside.
In her memory, Qi Xue was a very proud woman. Perhaps because she was from the city, Qi Xue was the only person who did not bully her to her face.
In her past life, Liang Xiu was always at the forefront. She would give Qiao Xingwang and Qi Xue the money and houses they asked for without them having to do anything. The couple lived a very smooth life.
The two were originally just workers earning a fixed salary, but with Liang Xiu's help, they not only moved into a large villa but also started driving luxury cars.
Every time Yang Huaiyuan beat her in the past, Qi Xue would look at her with disdain and secretly say that she relied on a man and had no dignity, unlike her, who was educated, had a salary, and was an independent woman.
It's ridiculous. The house she lives in and the money she spends are all her own. The coat she's wearing costs several thousand yuan, which is far beyond what she could afford with her meager salary of a few dozen yuan. She's spending her own money and still trying to ruin things.
Qiao Wanyue sneered.
Hongye was intimidated by her laughter.
"Wanyue, what's wrong?"
Qiao Wanyue shook her head, "Sister-in-law, thank you for your help these days. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly."
Hongye said, "Don't mention it. You're paying more than I do when I work. Don't worry, we won't suffer. It's just that your family seems difficult to deal with, so be careful."
Qiao Wanyue smiled.
Are you difficult to deal with?
"I understand. Gou Dan will bring you food in a little while. Don't eat anything from the Qiao family," Qiao Wanyue said cautiously.
Hongye nodded.
After explaining things to Hongye, Qiao Wanyue returned to the Qiao family home. Liang Xiu was serving food to everyone in the main room when she saw Qiao Wanyue. She didn't even raise an eyebrow. "Your father hasn't eaten yet. Go and feed him."
Qiao Wanyue sat down at the table by herself. Before Liang Xiu could serve the food, she snatched the bowl from Liang Xiu's hand, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and ate in silence.
"Qiao Wanyue!"
"Don't shout while we're eating." She finished the soup in her bowl in a few gulps and said with disgust, "It's really awful, the pot is burnt. I don't know how they cook, what a waste of food."
Qiao Wanyue picked through the food on the table with her chopsticks. The stir-fried vegetables were burnt, and the steamed cornbread was so dry that she almost lost her front teeth after taking a bite. Qiao Wanyue rested her chin on her hand with heartache and said, "A family of good-for-nothings."
Liang Xiu slammed her chopsticks on the table. "Eat if you want, or get out."
Qiao Wanyue blinked and looked at Liang Xiu, "Are you sure you want me to get lost?"
Her smile was innocent.
In Liang Xiu's eyes, Qiao Wanyue was a complete devil.
“Mom, we’re all family. Maybe Wanyue has been eating too many white flour steamed buns before and isn’t used to our cornbread.” Qiao Xingjia said in a cunning way, then looked at Qiao Wanyue, “Wanyue, this is all the family can afford. If you don’t like it, you can help yourself. There’s nothing I can do.”
Qiao Wanyue scoffed, "Is this all the conditions you're offering? You just don't want to feed me, do you? You used to eat white flour while I ate cornbread and drank dishwater. Three men in the family, and you can't even afford soft steamed buns? Who are you trying to fool?"
Qiao Wanyue got angry and slammed her chopsticks on the table.
She hugged her chest angrily.
The Qiao family members looked at each other in bewilderment.
Qiao Xingwang wondered to himself, "Did Qiao Wanyue used to eat cornbread?"
