Jiang Sisi fell silent after hearing Guo Ni's words. Although Qian Duoduo's words made her feel a little uncomfortable, Guo Ni's words were not without reason. Moreover, Qian Mao did not object after Qian Duoduo said these words, so he naturally supported her.
Guo Ni said, "Sisi, let me tell you, although I am only Duoduo's cousin-in-law, Duoduo has taken good care of me. Back when I was a sent-down youth, Duoduo was still a child, and she helped me a lot. She helped me move out of the sent-down youth compound. When I had nowhere to live, I shared a kang (heated brick bed) with her."
You know, Duo Duo's father was the brigade leader. Countless educated youth wanted to get on good terms with anyone in the brigade leader's family. The Qian family was notoriously difficult to approach in Beian Village. Later, I heard that Duo Duo helped me because Qian Xiang liked me, but I knew it was only because he was my older brother, and I liked what he liked. That was the feeling Duo Duo gave me. After saying that, he glanced at Qian Duo Duo.
Jiang Sisi looked at Qian Duoduo. During this period of contact, especially after she became Qian Mao's girlfriend, Qian Duoduo's attitude towards her had obviously improved a lot. She helped her with some things, such as the crops in her field. If it were up to her, she would definitely be last in the class.
Guo Ni smiled and patted Qian Duoduo's head. Sensing Qian Duoduo's head shaking and dodging, she successfully predicted her prediction. She patted the top of her head and said with a smile, "Duoduo helped me a lot to get into university. Duoduo and her classmates helped me analyze and explain some questions I didn't know. So if anyone bullies her, I will definitely be the first to disagree."
Jiang Sisi fell silent. Why was she able to receive her parents' love, her brother's affection, and her sister-in-law's protection, while she had nothing?
Qian Duoduo said, "Sister-in-law, relationships are reciprocal. If you treat me well, I will naturally treat you well in return. Your protection of me will naturally make me like you more. Just like Zhen Qiao, who always tries to take advantage of others, she ended up getting a divorce in the end."
Jiang Sisi was taken aback. Who was this Zhen Qiao?
Guo Ni rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why did you bring her up? That woman who cheated on her husband and made him raise another man's child, I feel disgusted just thinking about her."
Upon hearing Guo Ni's words, Jiang Sisi immediately glanced at Qian Mao and noticed the coldness in his eyes. She silently thought to herself, "I definitely can't do something like this!"
After dinner, Guo Ni and Qian Duoduo walked towards the school. Guo Ni said, "Duoduo, what you said today wasn't very good. After all, Sisi is just dating Lao San, not getting married."
Qian Duoduo sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, you haven't been here for a while, so you don't know what's going on." She recounted what had happened while Guo Ni was away from Harbin, saying, "I think Jiang Sisi has been a bit unbalanced lately because of her parents' situation, and she's been quite extreme at times. That's why I said those things before my third brother and his wife got married."
If they had persevered to the end and gotten married, and Jiang Sisi had been somewhat biased towards my third brother because of our parents' situation, I definitely wouldn't have let my third brother be bullied at that time.
If they don't stay together and break up, will there still be sisterly affection between Jiang Sisi and me?
Guo Ni fell silent. Since her parents had never argued, she had never thought about such a problem. If it were her, she would definitely leave gracefully. She was already an adult and couldn't play the childish games of vying for attention.
But Jiang Sisi is different. She has lived in a world of vying for favor and her parents' attention since she was a child. Being difficult and demanding has become a habit of hers, and no one can say for sure whether she can change it now.
After the two sisters-in-law returned to their dormitory, they found that Lu Fen had not yet returned, and only Tian Rong was there.
Qian Duoduo smiled and handed an apple to Tian Rong, saying, "Sister Tian Rong, have an apple. I bought this at the school gate. It looks quite red, so it should taste good."
Tian Rong said somewhat embarrassedly, "No need, I won't eat."
Qian Duoduo noticed Tian Rong's unusual demeanor and asked, "Sister, what's wrong? Are you...crying?"
Guo Ni immediately came over and asked, "Tian Rong, what's wrong? Tell us what's wrong, we can't just stand by and do nothing if we can help!"
Tian Rong's eyes reddened: "My daughter Tian Tian is sick. Grandma controls all the money in the house. Because she is a daughter, Grandma is not very willing to treat the child. My daughter Tian Qing was so angry that she took the child to the oil factory hospital. Originally, because Tian Qing was a worker at the oil factory, the hospital had already agreed to deduct the treatment cost from Tian Qing's salary."
"I never expected this," she said, covering her face and bursting into tears. After calming down a bit, she continued, "my mother-in-law actually stormed into the hospital and caused a huge scene. There was nothing we could do; the hospital had to reject our original offer."
Qian Duoduo thought of the shy and timid little girl and said, "Sister, I have some money here. Why don't you send it back to your brother-in-law first so he can take the child to see a doctor?"
Upon hearing Qian Duoduo's words, Tian Rong immediately hugged Guo Ni beside her and said, "I want to too, but my sister-in-law works at the post office. If I send the money back, it definitely won't reach Tian Qing."
Guo Ni sighed and said, "Then what should we do? Are you going back?"
Tian Rong said, "That's the only way. I just finished packing my things."
Qian Duoduo took out ten large bills and said, "Take these first, the important thing is to treat the child's illness."
Tian Rong said, "This much is no good, there needs to be more."
Qian Duoduo said, "Sister Tianrong, don't be afraid. If your mother-in-law tries to take your money, just tell her that this is money I lent you to save your life. It has interest, and you need to return the receipts for your child's medical treatment. If you don't have the receipts, then you will have to pay back more money. Moreover, if the money is taken away, I can use the IOU to settle the debt with the goods."
Just tell them that you have no other choice but to use the house you're currently living in as collateral.
Tian Rong said, "They are currently living in houses allocated by the oil mill, which is not acceptable."
Qian Duoduo said, "It's because my brother-in-law works at the oil mill. If he didn't work there, would the old lady still be able to live in this house?"
Tian Rong shook her head; it was definitely not possible.
Qian Duoduo said, "Let's do it this way. If you don't pay back the money, just say that I will sue the police station, arrest people, and appeal to the factory leaders. Just scare people by saying it's that serious. How about that?"
Tian Rong asked, "Will it work?"
Qian Duoduo said, "Just say that my brother is a leader in the city, that he has connections, and that he's not afraid they won't pay back the money. If they get into trouble, I can find someone to take good care of them."
Guo Ni laughed and said, "Just listen to Duo Duo. Most people wouldn't use this kind of idea. Besides, it might not work, but try it first. After all, the child is the most important thing."
Qian Duoduo nodded: "When my brother-in-law came, he met my third brother, so he knows what's going on."
Tian Rong nodded, took the money from Qian Duoduo, and very seriously wrote an IOU, writing down everything the three of them had agreed on, and also writing Tian Qing's name and her own name.
