"Wanyue." Aunt Xie came out with the medicine and spotted her at a glance.
"Let's go, it looks like it's going to rain."
Qiao Wanyue: "Mm."
"You don't look well, what's wrong?"
Qiao Wanyue: "It's nothing. I ran into an acquaintance at the hospital and chatted for a bit. His granddaughter is not very filial and made his son so angry that he ended up in the hospital. The old couple are getting on in years and still have to go through all this trouble."
Aunt Xie sighed, "Who can say for sure about blood ties? But there's a saying that's true: children and grandchildren have their own blessings."
Qiao Wanyue agreed.
How are your son and daughter-in-law?
Aunt Xie couldn't be happy when she mentioned this. "That brat acts like a big shot at home all day long. Yulan doesn't care about him at all. Now she's focused on her job and even takes on some handicrafts to earn money. She says she wants to buy a house and move out with the kids."
Qiu Yulan was still a bit timid, but after getting a job, she clearly became more confident. After getting along with her colleagues, her personality also changed. She no longer cowered behind Aunt Xie, but had her own ideas.
She chose to let Xie Yiran and Su Wenxia be together.
She wanted to take her mother-in-law and son to live elsewhere.
Aunt Xie agreed with her. Her salary wasn't low these days, and she had secretly inquired about housing prices. She could buy a small house for only four or five thousand yuan. Rather than living with that rascal, it would be better for her and her two children to move out and live a good life together.
"Sister Yulan has changed a lot." Qiao Wanyue recalled how timid Qiu Yulan was when she first met her.
Aunt Xie laughed heartily and pulled her onto the bus. "Before, she toiled in the fields, her mind only focused on how to get enough to eat. Now that she can eat her fill and has more social experience, she naturally thinks more. She's not stupid, just uneducated. After she started working, her colleagues were all quite good, some even graduating from high school or university. Her thinking isn't as restricted as it used to be."
Having seen many such cases, the old lady could occasionally utter a few words.
"Good thing."
Aunt Xie took out her money to buy a ticket, found a seat and sat down, but kept talking, "Yes, life is good now. By the way, I didn't ask you, why hasn't your husband come back yet?"
"They said it would be before the Lunar New Year."
Aunt Xie's forehead was covered in sweat; she had been so busy that she had forgotten that the New Year was just around the corner.
In previous years, she looked forward to the Lunar New Year the most, as her son could take a holiday during the holiday. But that rascal never came back even once. Yet, she still looked forward to it year after year. Now, she no longer needs to look forward to it, and she almost forgot about it.
The North and South Residences were given a holiday on the 27th.
That afternoon, Qiao Wanyue was calculating the money for the shop assistants with the accountant when Boss Hu arrived again.
This time, he was carrying New Year's gifts.
"Happy Chinese New Year, Mr. Qiao."
Qiao Wanyue didn't even glance at her.
Boss Hu wasn't angry. "Boss Qiao, I was blind to your worth. Let's make money peacefully. It's the New Year, you shouldn't be angry with me. You almost drove me into bankruptcy. I've seen your abilities. You're a magnanimous person, see if you can..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qiao Wanyue interrupted him.
"Who is the person behind you?" Qiao Wanyue asked bluntly.
Mr. Hu was stunned.
He spoke frankly, "My wife's cousin, a member of the Liang family." He was blunt, not because he wanted to be honest, but mainly because he had investigated and found that this Boss Qiao had a grudge against the Liang family. But coincidentally, his cousin didn't have a good relationship with Shi Yuying.
He never expected that this extraordinary Boss Qiao was actually a military family member. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have dared to target him even if he had eight hundred lives.
Qiao Wanyue said, "Thank you, Auntie. Please accept Mr. Hu's gift."
Mr. Hu breathed a sigh of relief.
Qiao Wanyue put down her abacus and looked at Boss Hu with a smile, "Is there anything else, Boss Hu?"
Mr. Hu scratched his head sheepishly.
