Qiao Xiaoni felt pleased to see the old woman unhappy; after all, the old woman had no good intentions. In just a few days, one incident after another had proven that she was indeed a selfish and self-serving old woman.
It wasn't until noon that everyone ate their meal. By then, most of the people in the courtyard had already left. The remaining people stayed to help clean up and finally returned the tables, chairs, and benches to each household.
All the pork they brought was eaten, leaving only an empty basket which they put back in the car.
Qiao Haisheng had drunk a bit too much, and he covered his head with his hand when he left.
Seeing his expression, Qiao Xiaoni worried that something might happen to him on the way.
"Dad, why don't you stay here for the night, and we'll come back to pick you up tomorrow?"
Qiao Haisheng waved his hand, "I'm not staying here. I don't like sleeping here, so I'll go home with you. Just ride your bikes slowly."
Qiao Xiaoni said that since he insisted, she didn't argue anymore.
Qiao Tianli chased after her, carrying several pieces of fabric. "Xiao Ni, take this fabric back and make some clothes."
If you need anything, just tell your dad. If he can't meet your needs, Grandpa will.
Qiao Xiaoni looked at the old man in front of her, and when he took the fabric, she knew everything he was thinking.
He planned to wait until he got into university and settled down in the city, then have his uncles come and stay with him, even if they just took ordinary jobs and lived in the city.
On the surface, she doesn't seem to favor boys over girls, but deep down she still holds that mindset... She's so good at putting on a show that if it weren't for her special abilities, we would almost have been fooled by her appearance.
Qiao Tianli was extremely satisfied; today was a double celebration.
"Dad! Is it true? I'm going to be a dad!" Qiao Hainan rushed out of the house, his face full of excitement. He could hardly believe his ears; his wife was pregnant.
He had already given up hope, but then he got pregnant.
Qiao Tianli turned to look at his good-for-nothing son, "Look at you, you're so useless. Now that your wife is pregnant, you should really rein yourself in."
I'll find you a good job in a couple of days. Everything costs money once the baby is born; you'll have to raise it.
Qiao Hainan's expression fell when he heard about the job offer. "Dad, the autumn harvest is just around the corner. What suitable work can we find? Even if there is, it's all tiring and dirty work. I can't do that."
Besides, the baby is due soon, and I need to help my wife take care of the baby. Let's talk about it again when the baby is a little older!
These remarks were too much for Qiao Haisheng to bear, so he got out of the car.
"Hainan, you're not a child anymore. You're a grown-up now, it's time for you to be more sensible."
If you choose to have children, you have to raise them. Your parents are getting old; how much longer can they support you?
Look at your peers, which one of them is doing poorly? Why don't you mention the guy with the limp left at the east end of the village? He's crippled in one leg, but he doesn't stay idle at home all day!
I do odd jobs occasionally, and in the winter I sell popcorn. Life's pretty good; my two daughters are quite grown up now.
Qiao Hainan said, "How can I compare to him? He was born with a limp and would starve to death if he didn't work."
What's the use of having two daughters? In a few years they'll be married women, and then it'll be hard to even see them. Doesn't that make sense?
He can't keep up with anything else, but he spouts a whole bunch of fallacies.
