Li Dafa hated hearing her say this, because he knew perfectly well that when he insisted on sending his two nephews to work in the county town, Wang Qiaoyun was unhappy about it, crying and making a scene, even running back to her parents' home. But he ignored her and resolutely refused to give in. As a result, she obediently slunk back home not long after. Therefore, in Li Dafa's view, women, especially old women like Wang Qiaoyun who were illiterate and knew nothing, couldn't be spoiled too much. He had to be firm when necessary, otherwise, wouldn't they rebel at home?
Seeing that Li Dafa was ignoring her, Wang Qiaoyun was filled with rage. She suddenly stood up, put her hands on her hips, glared at Li Dafa angrily, and then turned and strode away. She hadn't gone far from her house when she happened to see Qiao Tiezhu slowly walking out of his yard.
Wang Qiaoyun's face instantly lit up with a smile, and she rushed over to greet him, calling out enthusiastically, "Tiezhu! Qian Duoduo is back, did you know?"
Qiao Tiezhu nodded slightly, indicating that he was aware of the matter.
Seeing this, Wang Qiaoyun quickly asked, "Then why don't you go and take a look?"
Qiao Tiezhu grinned, revealing a row of clean, white teeth, and replied, "Hey, the kid kept pestering me to buy him something, so I have to take care of his business first. I'll be going now!" With that, Qiao Tiezhu waved to Wang Qiaoyun and quickly left without looking back.
Watching Qiao Tiezhu's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Wang Qiaoyun curled her lip, spat disdainfully, and muttered under her breath, "Hmph, no wonder he looks down on you. You're really good for nothing and have no talent whatsoever!"
Wang Qiaoyun wandered aimlessly outside for a while. Suddenly, a chilly wind blew by, and she couldn't help but shiver. Looking up into the distance, she saw that the once clear sky had been covered by large, dark clouds, perhaps indicating a heavy snowfall was coming. Wang Qiaoyun muttered, "Oh my god, what kind of weather is this? It's freezing! I'd better hurry home." So, she hugged her arms tightly and quickened her pace home.
As soon as she entered the house, Wang Qiaoyun saw Li Dafa still sitting at the table, leisurely drinking. She was immediately annoyed and glared at him, saying sarcastically, "Oh ho, all you do is drink! Can't you do anything productive besides drinking all day?" However, Li Dafa seemed not to hear her at all, still humming a little tune happily, not even bothering to look at Wang Qiaoyun.
Wang Qiaoyun angrily lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed), closed her eyes, and thought about Jin Jinxiu getting out of the car. Her neat hair and her city-style attire, especially the gold bracelet on her wrist, made her furious.
Don't always say she and Jin Jinxiu don't get along; it's really just that she's jealous of Jin Jinxiu. Whenever she's with Jin Jinxiu, her words are always sarcastic and unsettling. However, since her son started working with Qian Xiang, the situation has changed dramatically. Now, when Wang Qiaoyun sees Jin Jinxiu, her face is always full of fawning smiles, and she doesn't dare to show any of her former hostility.
Not only that, her son, who lived in another city, would often call to remind his mother to take care of the Qian family's house and other matters. Wang Qiaoyun was especially overjoyed when her son brought home his earnings. In fact, she had once considered that her son could save up some money and then start his own company, even larger than Qian Duoduo's. However, when she heard her son talk about companies like Wanmao Group, which were engaged in building construction and required investments of millions or even tens of millions of yuan, Wang Qiaoyun was immediately stunned.
"Oh my! So much money! The Qian family has really struck it rich! Even the eldest son's family has benefited and prospered!" Wang Qiaoyun thought to herself with deep regret. "If only I had thought about arranging a marriage between the children! If I had, with Qian Duoduo being so shrewd and capable, wouldn't all the wealth he's earned have ended up in our pockets? Why would my son have to work so hard out there? Sigh..."
When her son wasn't home, she had discussed this topic with Li Dafa, but he had refuted her without hesitation. Recalling her daughter's past experiences, wasn't it all because of this old woman? With her good-for-nothing son, he probably wouldn't even be considered by her. Putting aside other aspects, just in terms of academics, her son was worlds apart from Qian Duoduo, even surpassing the Qiao family's son, who at least got into a vocational school! How wonderful it would be to have a daughter as outstanding as Qian Duoduo!
At that moment, Qian Sheng stared blankly at Qian Duoduo, watching as she magically produced a large pile of bags from the car trunk. Qian Sheng was already somewhat numb to this scene; he knew perfectly well that since the house had been unoccupied for a long time, there would inevitably be a shortage of various daily necessities. In any case, he and his wife were already used to their daughter's meticulous and thoughtful manner, so they silently followed her home.
Fortunately, Wang Qiaoyun and a few others had tidied up the house, cleaning it thoroughly and even heating up the kang (a heated brick bed). As a result, people didn't feel particularly cold when they entered the room.
Ye Enxi, hailing from the south, had never set foot in the north, let alone the distant northeast. Her large, bright eyes were filled with curiosity and a desire to explore everything around her. At this moment, she stood in the courtyard, gazing intently at the distant, rolling mountains, her heart brimming with curiosity and anticipation. Even the two burly bodyguards who had accompanied her were captivated by the magnificent scenery before them, their faces revealing longing.
Seeing the three of them staring blankly, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hey, you three, snap out of it! Let me tell you, there are some ferocious large animals that roam the mountains in winter, like wolves, tigers, and bears. They come out from time to time to look for food."
Hearing this, Ye Enxi blinked and asked with a puzzled look, "Boss, didn't I hear that bears hibernate in winter?"
Qian Duoduo laughed and explained, "Silly girl, we've only just entered winter here. These bears are busy accumulating enough energy to prepare for the winter, so this is when they are most active, but also the most dangerous. I must warn you, no one is allowed to go into the mountains to take risks!" After saying that, she gave the two bodyguards a stern look.
The two nodded quickly in agreement, indicating that they would absolutely not disobey orders.
