Everyone arrived without missing a single person. After exchanging pleasantries, Qiao Tianli took out a thick wad of cash from his pocket and placed it in Qiao Haisheng's hand in front of all the neighbors: "This is money the whole family pooled together. I'll give it all to my daughter when she goes to school."
It's not easy being away from home, so bring extra money just in case. Be sure to tell your family if you encounter any difficulties.
He was genuinely impressed by how successful his eldest son had become, opening a small eatery in town. Business was booming; neighbors were saying he could earn dozens of yuan a day!
Yesterday I heard from someone else that they bought a house in town for over 1,000 yuan.
He was both angry and anxious because he didn't ask his family for money. If they had asked, they could have kept him in check, but he didn't ask for a single penny or send them a message.
This is clearly a move to sever ties! He couldn't let his eldest son's family drift further and further away from them, so in order to mend the relationship, he went to his second son's place, gave him a good scolding, and dragged him back.
Even if Qiao Haixing was unhappy, he had to put on a happy face in front of outsiders. He stepped forward and held Qiao Xiaoni's hand: "If you need anything, you can call me. Your second uncle will definitely help if he can, and even if he can't help, he will try to find a way."
Qiao Xiaoni was having a private conversation with Zhang Ru when her hand was suddenly grabbed. She quickly pulled it back, knowing she couldn't hit the smiling person, and softened her tone as she spoke.
"Second Uncle, I've remembered what you said. I'll definitely tell you if anything comes up."
I noticed Lingling seemed a little unhappy. Does she still have a problem with me?
Qiao Haixing shook his head and denied it: "She has no problem with you. It's just that the car ride was too long and she didn't eat breakfast this morning, so she doesn't look well. Don't be like her. You are a person who can achieve great things. Your second uncle's judgment is definitely correct."
Qiao Xiaoni thought to herself that this second uncle was indeed a cunning old fox. He could even let go of such an embarrassing incident from last time. She had to be careful when dealing with him.
Wang Qin nudged Qiao Lingling's arm: "Find a chance to apologize to Nizi, and let bygones be bygones. What siblings don't quarrel? Just talk it out, don't be so stubborn, going against your dad won't do you any good."
"If you want to go, you go; I'm not going."
Qiao Lingling pinched hard with both hands, breaking her nails without feeling any pain. She was extremely jealous, wondering why Qiao Xiaoni got all the good things.
Looking at Su Chenhao in the distance, dressed in a suit, so dazzling and handsome, she had never seen such an outstanding man. Qiao Xiaoni was short and fat, and her face was disfigured, yet she had found such a good man. Thinking about the blind dates she had been on these past few days, they were all just ugly and unattractive.
None of them were good-looking, yet her own mother insisted that she choose one from among them, hoping to send her off and collect a dowry.
Song Min came to mind. He had said he wanted to possess Qiao Xiaoni. So many days had passed, and yet nothing had happened.
What happened that day was a nightmare; she often woke up in the middle of the night terrified and hadn't slept well for days. Her eyes were covered in dark circles that no amount of makeup could cover. Because of what happened that day, her parents rarely spoke to her, and even when they did, it was always about the engagement—they just wanted to marry her off quickly so they could get a dowry for the family.
