When Zhang Guoqing came out of the study, more than an hour had passed. Even his mother-in-law had returned from outside. At this moment, she was chatting happily with the two maids.
Look, listen...his mother-in-law has started to test the girl.
Zhang Guoqing burst out laughing when he heard this. Who said his mother-in-law was simple? Look, she's very quick to see opportunities and is still very sensitive to the outside world.
Zhou Jiao heard the noise and turned to look at him with a questioning look.
"Someone from the Zheng family just came, but I didn't let them in." Zhang Guoqing smiled at her and looked at Miao Lishan. "Mom, you're back. Didn't you meet anyone at the gate?"
"Yes. When I came back, I met a mother and daughter. The older one was in her forties and said she was from the Bai family. It turned out that her husband's family was the Zheng family.
As he finished, he patted the younger one, saying that the younger sisters at home had a conflict and our child had misunderstood, so he brought the younger one back.
Miao Lishan said with a disdainful smile, "What a joke! How could my grandson misunderstand? If it wasn't too much, my Liuyi and Wuyi wouldn't have taken action."
Zhang Guoqing nodded in agreement, "Mom is really sharp-eyed. How could this little trick be hidden from you?"
"I was wrong. I didn't know that mother and daughter were so outrageous. If I had known, I would have told Xiao Zhu and the others to throw them out. What's the difference between this black-hearted person and the Zhou family?"
Miao Lishan patted Xiaojiu on the shoulder as she spoke. "Don't be afraid, they can't get in. Xiaowu, this girl happens to be studying in the same country as our Wuyi. You must keep an eye on her and don't let that girl from the Zheng family get the chance. With such a scourge around, what will our Wuyi do?"
Zhang Guoqing understood what his mother-in-law had said. The most important point was not to let the little girl from the Zheng family get involved with their own child.
"Bai family?" Zhou Jiao shook her head secretly. "Mom, are you sure she said she was from the Bai family? Impossible! Xiaohui's mother is the only girl in the Bai family."
Zhang Guoqing reminded her, "She has a cousin who is Hu Xiaohui's second aunt. Coincidentally, her last name is Bai. She would visit the Bai family during festivals and holidays, and over time, she started calling herself a member of the Bai family."
Zhou Jiao chuckled and said, "Can we play like this?"
Miao Lishan had no doubt about how her son-in-law was so sure, and she quickly urged her daughter, "Jiaojiao, give Xiaohui a call and see what her attitude is."
Zhou Jiao looked at her mother with amusement, and deliberately glanced at the expressions of the two girls beside her. She had an idea and quickly looked at Zhang Guoqing: Whether she can make this call depends on his consent.
He had been in the study for so long, he must have already started the investigation. If the Bai family was really involved, she would be suspected of harboring someone if she called them.
Zhang Guoqing narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly.
Zhou Jiao pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, I'll just ask her if the matter with Little White Dragon has been settled."
There was also a telephone extension in the living room. Usually, the family would go to the study to answer the phone. At this moment, Zhou Jiao turned around, picked up the phone and dialed.
Miao Lishan patted the nervous Xiaojiu comfortingly. What are you afraid of? It's already good enough that you didn't snatch someone else's spot. With Jiaojiao around, how dare you snatch the spot?
"It's me, Zhou Jiao. I was worried that you weren't at work over the weekend."
"Didn't I tell you last week that I have to work overtime this weekend? Why are you calling me today? I thought you'd forgotten about your old friends."
"Tsk~ You're talking as if I've never called you before. Are you busy? Is it almost time to get off work?"
"Tell me, you never come here for nothing. What's the matter this time?"
"Is that how you look at me?" Zhou Jiao smiled. "Didn't I just want to call you to congratulate you?"
"Don't give me that. What good news have I had recently and I don't even know about it?"
"Why not?" Zhou Jiao chuckled. "I heard you have a new aunt, and her husband is from our compound. Didn't you know?"
"Wait. Are you talking about that girl named Bai something? Oh, right, Bai Dahua, my second aunt's cousin, right?"
Zhou Jiao burst out laughing, "Isn't that really Bai Dahua, not Bai Dayahua?"
"Hahaha... I think she changed her name. I forgot what it was. I just heard my second aunt always call her Dahua Dahua. My Zhen'er has a cat, so she named it Dahua. I only noticed it after hearing Linzi talk about it. By the way, did that person offend you?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Just now, my second aunt called me and asked me to go to her place. Although she didn't say what it was about, it's most likely related to that big flower."
Zhou Jiao restrained her smile and did not deny it, "Xiaohui, what do you think of me?"
"We're old sisters, what else is there to say? Is that woman trying to force her daughter onto your Wuyi, or is her husband in trouble? So, does that mean my second aunt really has something to ask me?"
"My son, does her family deserve it?" Zhou Jiao's eyes flashed, and she sneered, changing the subject. "Have you settled your cousin's going abroad?"
"Almost. I haven't been to my uncle's house these days, and I heard that there's no more trouble. Why did you change the subject when we were talking so nicely? Jiaojiao, just say it straight. I don't have enough brains."
"Haha~ You. I remember your second uncle works in the education department, right? The one who talks big, her husband adopted an orphan of a martyr a few years ago.
The child's father was a martyr who sacrificed his life for him. It's not quite the same as adopting him, after all, the pension and other things are in the hands of that big white man.
Let's not talk about the harsh issue of orphans of martyrs for now. Just one thing, Bai Dahua, doesn't she have a daughter? It seems like she wants to take this child's exchange student spot away from her.
"Are you suspecting my second uncle's involvement? Impossible. I know my second uncle well. Even Little White Dragon's trip abroad was all thanks to his real abilities."
"I don't doubt your second uncle. But there is one thing," Zhou Jiao smiled without comment. There are too many people with real abilities in this world.
"Bai Dahua's daughter is very arrogant. She actually forced the daughter of her savior to give up her exchange student spot.
But I just don't understand, can giving up the quota mean that it will be approved? If you say that the other party has not touched your second uncle's ideas, do you believe it yourself? "
"Jiaojiao, thank you."
"Thank you is too serious. What's our relationship? Xiaohui, it's best if the Bai family doesn't get involved in this matter. If there are any violations of rules and regulations, no one can save us."
Zhou Jiao's words were not exaggerated at all. If Xiaojiu was really replaced this time, and she didn't take action, those people would really be lawless.
She had no right to do so before, and it didn't happen in front of her. She always disliked meddling in other people's affairs, but that didn't mean everyone didn't have a sense of justice in their hearts.
Do orphans deserve to be bullied?
Zhang Guoqing endured such hard times back then, and she will never let anyone around her suffer such injustice again.
The reason why she notified Hu Xiaohui first was that she didn't want the Bai family to ask her for help if they got into trouble.
The reason why Bai Dahua's daughter was so arrogant in asking for Xiaojiu's quota was that she didn't believe that a little girl could be so confident. This was a public quota.
Now that the quota has been confirmed and the child is about to go abroad, you still dare to force him to ask for a quota. Can an ordinary person change it from top to bottom?
"Ah... Jiaojiao, I understand. I'll go to my second uncle's place right away."
"You don't have to be so nervous. Your second uncle wouldn't be so confused because of a relative who was a member of the Eighth Route Army. I'm just worried that his fence isn't tight enough."
Hu Xiaohui hung up the phone in a hurry, and Zhou Jiao shook her head speechlessly.
