"I'll come back early for dinner, and make me a big chicken leg."
After saying that, Qiao Dongdong ran out in a flash and saw his father at the door. His face was ashen, as if someone owed him money, and he had fled without even saying hello.
Qiao Haixing sat on the stool, looking at the mess in the house, which was not as tidy as usual. There was a puddle of water on the floor, and the broken cups made it clear what had happened.
Because of their daughter's situation, his wife has been in a bad mood lately and doesn't clean the house every day, which he finds unbearable.
"Xiaoqin, tidy up the house, I have something to tell you."
Wang Qin glanced up and saw that Qiao Haixing's expression was not good, quite different from usual. He looked like he was about to get angry, so she quickly got up and tidied up. It took her about half an hour to finally restore the living room to its previous state.
"Speak! What is it?"
Qiao Haixing stubbed out his cigarette: "That kid relented today. He said he wouldn't let my daughter go to jail, but he'd let me marry her off and give her a generous dowry."
"What!" Wang Qin's eyes widened. "This kid is asking for the moon! How can he make such a demand? He's already crippled, how can he get married?"
"Sit down first, I'll tell you." Qiao Haixing waited for her to sit down before speaking again: "I don't agree with this matter, but unfortunately he has evidence that I resold materials."
I don't know how he got to know the person who bought the materials.
If this gets out, not only will I lose my job as director, but I might also go to jail, and I'll definitely have to return the house.
Where will you and the children live then? How will you support them in the future?
The analysis was very thorough, leaving Wang Qin speechless. She was used to a life where everything was done for her. How could she possibly endure hardship? The thought was something she couldn't even imagine.
"If we marry our daughter off to him, we'll be losing out big time. Besides, he's asking for a huge dowry. Is there any justice in this world?"
"There's nothing we can do. That brat has evidence. Our daughter stabbed him, so we're in the wrong. If we report it to the police, our daughter will go to jail."
On my way back, I thought about it all the way home. The only way to shut him up was to come up with a huge sum of money. But even then, he might change his mind later.
Wang Qin clenched her fists: "Then we'll have no choice but to marry our daughter off. Let's deal with the stabbing incident first." She looked up at her daughter's room: "She made the trouble herself, so she should take responsibility. She's been staying at home these past few days, not eating or drinking and acting strangely. I'm fed up with her, but I just haven't told you."
"Since you've agreed, I'll tell that kid tomorrow. The wedding date will probably be quite soon."
Prepare what you need to prepare, so you won't be caught off guard later.
"Don't tell anyone about him being stabbed. Even if you don't care about the girl's reputation, you should also care about our own." Qiao Haixing instructed.
Wang Qin nodded to indicate that she understood.
Inside the house.
Qiao Lingling sat blankly on the bed, her hair disheveled, staring unfocused out the window. The lack of sleep these past few days had caused her to completely break down.
Many times I don't know what I'm doing; I just space out.
...
the next day.
Qiao Haixing told Song Min the news. Seeing Song Min's smug look, Qiao Haixing didn't want to stay in the hospital any longer and made up an excuse to leave.
With nowhere else to go and being hungry, I had no choice but to go to a small restaurant.
Just as they were about to reach the restaurant, they were stopped by the person who bought the recipe.
