Qiao Lingling burst into tears, "I was just trying to get revenge! After Qiao Xiaoni got into university, my grandmother no longer cared about me."
Yesterday, Qiao Xiaoshan pushed me down, and Grandma didn't even stand up for me; instead, she sided with Qiao Xiaoshan. I only pretended to be crazy because I was so angry. Who knew the consequences would be so serious?
Zhang Ru heard everything clearly from under the window and was secretly gloating. Everyone used to bully her, but now the tables had turned and it was their turn to get into trouble.
Qiao Hainan was squatting by the door, rambling about how he would live in the future. He saw his wife covering her mouth and chuckling, so he went over and pulled her to a corner against the wall.
"What are you grinning about? What are we going to do? The old man wants to support Qiao Xiaoni, but what will become of us then?"
Zhang Ru shifted her obese body slightly. "Just based on what happened to the second son and his wife today, doesn't the old man know anything about it?"
Even if he wants to do something, he will consider the consequences.
Finding his wife's analysis reasonable, Qiao Hainan's expression wasn't as unpleasant as before.
"What were you laughing at just now? You were just standing there grinning like an idiot. Anyone would think you'd found some money."
"I'll tell you something even more interesting than finding money..." Zhang Ru briefly recounted what she had heard, then felt her mouth was dry and she really wanted to drink some water.
Qiao Hainan was secretly pleased. "Looks like having many kids isn't all that's good! They let us down like this at such a crucial moment. How will Second Brother ever face anyone again?"
"Haha, you're thinking the same thing as me. He's always so arrogant because he gives money to his family. He acts all high and mighty, like you and I both owe him something."
"What's so great about it? I still got a ride today, didn't I?"
"That's right, we'll never see his arrogant face again."
"Ha ha……"
The two of them took turns venting their pent-up frustrations.
Qiao Tianli had originally planned to have them stay for lunch, but when the time came, no one was cooking... Qiao Sunshi had already made an excuse about having a headache and went back to her room to rest, so he couldn't very well cook! After thinking it over, he decided to ask his third son's wife to cook, since he couldn't let his son go back on an empty stomach, could he?
Su Chenhao then stood up and said, "Grandpa, I'll show you my skills today and cook you something. Just tell me where the kitchen is."
"You can cook?" Qiao Tianli was surprised at first, but then he thought of his pitiful background. Poor children learn to be independent early, so he should have learned to cook long ago.
Su Chenhao: "I've been cooking since I was very young. I can make simple home-style dishes. Today, I'll let you taste my cooking skills!"
Qiao Tianli stroked his gray beard. "Turn left after you leave the kitchen. Go and see if you have any materials. Don't hesitate to ask me if you need them."
"Okay!" Su Chenhao replied and turned to leave.
He wanted to leave a good impression on the old man, and not just talk about it. Given his current circumstances, he was indeed not good enough for Qiao Xiaoni, but he would strive to be worthy of her, to be the man who stood before her, not the man who stood behind her.
After everyone had walked away, Qiao Tianli closed the door.
"The child is quite good; you have a good eye for choosing a son-in-law."
Qiao Haisheng hadn't received praise from the old man in a long time, and he was all smiles.
“I also thought this boy was a good person, which is why I wanted him to be my son-in-law. I know my daughter well. Although she has changed a lot now, she is still a little girl at heart and needs someone to take care of her when she is out in the world.”
