Su Chenhao pulled the covers up. "We'll talk about it tomorrow morning. You've been busy all day, so go to sleep and get some rest!"
Qiao Xiaoshan nodded and then pulled down the light switch, plunging the room into darkness.
Su Chenhao didn't sleep; he kept his eyes open, staring at the moon outside. Once things were settled tomorrow, he would find an opportunity to have a proper talk with the little girl.
He could try dating her first; he wanted to win her heart with his sincerity. His hand unconsciously reached for the jade pendant on his chest. This pendant was given to him by his mother before she died; it was a family heirloom of the Su family and wasn't worth much.
The mother said the jade pendant was a gift for her future daughter-in-law, and that he should give it to her when he meets a suitable girl...
Because she vomited everything she ate, Qiao Sunshi suffered terribly that night, unable to sleep no matter how hard she tried. Thinking about everything that had happened during the day, she was so angry that her teeth itched, and she wanted to wake everyone up. But she knew she couldn't do that; the situation in her second son's family was different now.
The only college student in the village—this is a source of great pride for the family. We can't afford to have any further conflict with the second son's family. After much thought, I've decided to change my attitude from now on.
The next day, everyone saw the old lady smiling broadly, looking kind and approachable, which made everyone feel uneasy, and no one dared to look at her a second time. At the dinner table, everyone was busy eating to minimize their presence.
Li Meihua felt a chill run down her spine. When had the old lady ever smiled at her? Every time, she was always finding fault. Even after giving birth to her grandson, she never saw a kind smile from her…
Breakfast was a very depressing meal; everyone was just trying to fill their stomachs and forgot what they were actually eating.
The table was removed, and then Qiao Sunshi spoke up.
"Xiao Ni, Grandma is so happy that you got into university. Let's pretend that yesterday never happened. I'm getting senile, so please don't hold it against me even if I did something wrong."
Qiao Xiaoni thought the old lady's words were somewhat agreeable.
"Grandma, I don't remember what you did yesterday, so you don't need to worry about it."
Mrs. Qiao nodded in satisfaction, then took out ten yuan from her pocket and handed it over.
"Take this money and keep it for your schooling. If it's not enough, just let me know."
Qiao Xiaoni looked at the money handed to her. It seemed like this was the first time in her life that the original owner had received money from an old lady. Should she accept it or not?
Qiao Haisheng was shocked by the old lady's actions. "Mom, what are you doing? It's not easy for you to save money. You don't need to spend it on us. You can keep it for yourself."
Mrs. Qiao was also reluctant to part with the ten yuan, but if she didn't mend the relationship now, she wouldn't be able to gain any advantage later. She felt the ten yuan was well spent, so she took Qiao Xiaoni's hand.
"Keep it safe."
Qiao Xiaoni took the opportunity to use her mysterious perception to know everything the old lady was thinking.
It turns out that she disliked Qiao Haisheng because she almost had a major hemorrhage during childbirth, and the fortune teller believed that the child was incompatible with her... In addition, the family's conditions were getting worse and worse, and everything pointed to her father.
Another fortune teller... This is truly harmful!
Qiao Xiaoni put the money in her pocket. Why not take it? Over the years, Qiao Haisheng had given the old lady plenty of money and never failed to do her any good.
Qiao Sunshi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the money was accepted. She hadn't been careful with her words yesterday, and what she said was indeed a bit excessive.
"Xiaoni, study hard in college. If you need anything in the future, just tell Grandma. You're the only college student in our family. We're counting on you for the future!"
