From their conversation, Su Chenhao learned that the other party was another girl from the Qiao family. As an outsider, he felt it was inconvenient to say anything, but he looked at Qiao Xiaoni's beautiful retort with admiration in his eyes.
The more he got to know Qiao Xiaoni, the more surprises he found in her; the little girl had a really good personality.
"Qiao Lingling!" A shout rang out from not far away, and a boy ran over from a distance, panting. He was wearing a white shirt and black pants, as well as leather shoes. A shiny watch on his right wrist was very conspicuous in the sunlight.
Qiao Lingling glanced at her younger brother impatiently: "What's all the shouting about? Do you think I'm going to get lost?"
Qiao Dongdong ran over, hands on his hips, and said, "You didn't even say goodbye when you left. Didn't I leave all my money with you? I can't buy anything I want. Who else can I turn to if not you? Give me the money right now, I want to buy a marble."
The convenience store just got new stock, I have to buy some.
"Mom only gave me fifty cents. If you buy a marble, how are we going to get home today?" Qiao Lingling's face was very unpleasant. Her younger brother could buy whatever he wanted, but she couldn't. Before leaving, her mother had told her to give the fifty cents to her brother... and that she shouldn't waste money.
Qiao Dongdong didn't care about any of that and reached out to snatch the bag from Qiao Lingling's body: "Give me the money, or I'll beat you up!"
Qiao Xiaoni watched the commotion from the sidelines. The way the two siblings interacted didn't seem like siblings at all; it was more like a young master and his servant.
Qiao Xiaoshan said in a strained voice, "My second uncle and aunt are notorious for favoring boys over girls. They spoil Qiao Dongdong rotten, buying him whatever he wants without any discipline. Who knows what kind of trouble he'll cause when he grows up?"
"I see. But I think Qiao Lingling dresses quite well."
"That's just on the surface; their status at home is worlds apart."
My second uncle was clever and thrived in the factory, secretly making a lot of money. Otherwise, how could his family be so well-off?
Qiao Xiaoni nodded, now she understood what was going on. Seeing Qiao Lingling's bag being snatched, Qiao Dongdong stuffed all the money inside into his own pocket, then threw the bag back, his movements clean and efficient, as if he had done it countless times before.
Qiao Lingling was so angry that her face turned white. Qiao Xiaoni couldn't help but laugh at the way she looked, wanting to hit her but not daring to.
Qiao Lingling heard the laughter and turned her anger towards Qiao Xiaoni: "What are you laughing at? What right do you, an ugly hag, have to laugh at me!"
"You say I'm ugly? Then how are you any more beautiful?" Qiao Xiaoni was furious. No woman likes to be told she's ugly.
Qiao Lingling: "You have a scar on your head, do you dare let everyone see it? Ugly freak, I'm definitely going to tell Grandma what happened today, just wait and see what happens!"
Qiao Xiaoni rolled up her sleeves and rushed towards Qiao Lingling, grabbing her collar before she could react: "Say what you just said again if you dare!"
Qiao Xiaoshan was terrified, seeing his sister so fierce for the first time. He quickly reached out to stop her, but Su Chenhao stopped him with his hand.
"Brother Chenhao, why are you stopping me? I need to protect my sister."
"Don't worry, she won't suffer any losses. If you go up there, things will get really serious. Didn't you see that no one around is doing anything about it?"
Arguments among rural women are common, and sometimes even physical fights. If men get involved, things escalate quickly. But this young woman acted so swiftly; she's sure to win. Besides, he's there for her!
