When He Xuyang returned home, Qiao Chudong and her daughter had already returned to the village with Qiao Zhixia.
Mrs. Lin took advantage of the fact that no one else was around and got some unexpected money from Qiao Zhixia, so she prepared an extra-sumptuous dinner.
"Mom, do you mean that Qiao Zhixia came over and converted all the things that the Qiao family took from us into money and gave them to you?" He Xuyang was a little surprised.
After all, he knew how poor the Qiao family was.
Besides, Qiao Xinguo is not qualified to be the head of the family at all, and the old man is the one who manages the money in their family.
Five or four yuan is not a small amount, and even he has to work for a month.
"Who knows! Never mind them. Since the Qiao family has split up, we should not care about those two old guys or Mr. Qiao's family anymore."
He Xuyang picked up a piece of braised beef with chopsticks and asked Qiao Chudong and her daughter, "When will they come back?"
"Why are you thinking about those two money-losing girls? It's just right that they are not at home. Mom will make you some more delicious food to replenish your body. You can also take this opportunity to get in touch with Huang Xia. How can Qiao Chudong give birth to a money-losing girl? Our He family cannot be extinct."
"Mom, what are you talking about? Chu Dong and I are fine. If you want a grandson, why don't we have another one when the family planning policy is not so strict? I only treat Huang Xia as my sister, and she just got divorced."
"What if they just got divorced? Huang Xia gave birth to a son as her first child, so the next one will definitely be a son. Besides, Huang Xia's husband gave her a lot of money. If you two get married, can you still suffer a loss?"
"Yes..."
"Don't be so stubborn, just listen to me. Huang Xia has nothing to do after her divorce, so why don't you give Qiao Chudong's job as a salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative to her!"
He Xuyang's expression changed slightly: "How can that be possible? Chu Dong won't agree."
Mrs. Lin looked disdainful. "When has it ever been her turn to say no to our family affairs? It's settled. Just go and tell your uncle."
He Xuyang's uncle was the top leader of the town's supply and marketing cooperative, so changing the salesperson was just a matter of a word.
Although He Xuyang has feelings for Qiao Chudong, he always listens to his mother.
"Okay! Let Chudong go home and take care of the children for you..."
On the other side, the two sisters were on their way back. Qiao Chudong was still feeling distressed as she missed the 55 yuan that Qiao Zhixia had given her.
"Zhizhi, I know you want to support me, but giving so much money at once is a huge loss."
Qiao Zhixia smiled and said, "Sister, a tree lives by its bark, and a person lives by his breath. I can't let you be looked down upon by your in-laws. Don't swallow your anger if you have conflicts in the future. If you can't beat them, come home and tell me, and I'll deal with them."
What's more, the money she gave to 눕 would be returned double by the He family in another form one day.
Qiao Chudong smiled, but as she smiled, a layer of mist covered her eyes again.
It feels really good to have someone supporting you.
Qiao Xinguo was building a fence outside the yard when he saw from a distance his two daughters coming back. Yaya was walking in front, jumping and skipping happily all the way.
"Grandpa——"
"Yaya, come here and let grandpa see if you have grown taller?"
Yaya didn't look at the fierce old man from before, so she bravely jumped into her grandfather's arms.
As the grandparents and grandchildren hugged each other and giggled, Li Aizhen, who heard the noise in the room, also lifted the curtain and came in.
"Look who's back? It's my good grandson..."
"Dad, Mom, I brought Yaya back to see you. Zhizhi told me that you were sick. Why didn't you tell me anything?"
"Oh! It's no big deal. We'll be relieved if you can live your life well." Li Aizhen looked at her eldest daughter whom she hadn't seen for a long time, her eyes full of heartache.
"Come inside and talk..." Qiao Xinguo took them into the house and brought out his treasured cookies.
Qiao Chudong walked around the room. Although it was not as big as the previous yard, there was no strong and savage grandfather, no greedy uncle and his family, only the nagging of parents and the laughter of children.
This warm little home makes her feel particularly at ease.
"Sister, please sit with mom and dad for a while. I'll cook dinner today." Qiao Zhixia took the apron from her mother and went to the kitchen.
"Let me help heat the pot!" Qiao Chudong insisted.
Qiao Zhixia had no choice but to let her do as she pleased.
She bought two pieces of pork belly and two pork bones in the market today.
Just use the sauerkraut prepared by my mother to make a pot of pork and sauerkraut stewed vermicelli, and then fry a plate of eggs with tomatoes.
Qiao Chudong was frightened when she saw her eat all the meat in one meal and tried to stop her, "What are you doing? Can't you eat it?"
"Haha... Sister, just eat as much as you want when you get home! Your stomach won't bankrupt our family."
Qiao Chudong was stunned, and finally realized something: "Zhizhi, is Dad making money outside?"
Qiao Zhixia did not give a direct answer, but said while washing the pot:
"Sister, I remember that you were very good at math when you were in school. Even your teacher said that if you did business, you would definitely not lose money. I want you to take an accounting certificate and then do business with me. Are you willing?"
"What? You want to start a business? What kind of business?"
Qiao Zhixia shrugged and said casually: "Farming, selling vegetables..."
"Haha, you scared me to death." Qiao Chudong lit the fire with wood shavings and burst into laughter.
"She thought she was really going to do business."
Qiao Zhixia pursed her lips: "It's okay if you don't want to, I still want you to take Yaya to the city and help me look after my first store!"
Seeing her dissatisfaction, Qiao Chudong restrained her smile and said, "No, are you serious?"
Qiao Xinguo came over holding Yaya: "It's true, your sister is going to open a store in the city..."
While eating, Yaya's little girl grabbed a pork bone and gnawed it until her mouth was full of grease, with a satisfied expression on her little face.
"Look at the way this kid eats. He doesn't look like someone who lives on the street...eat slowly, dear, there's still plenty!"
Li Aizhen's unintentional words made Qiao Chudong feel sad.
Although the He family's conditions are not bad, how could they be willing to give them to Yaya?
Whenever my mother-in-law had something good, she would secretly give it to her eldest son's grandson.
She talked about this with He Xuyang several times. At first, He Xuyang also talked about his mother, but it didn't work after several attempts. In addition, he had some money to improve his life, so he no longer cared about them.
She could only secretly save a few cents and occasionally take Yaya out for a snack.
The last time Yaya ate meat was 굛 days ago깊.
She was too embarrassed to tell her parents about these things, after all, she had chosen this man herself.
But when Yaya sees some meat, her eyes light up and you can't deceive anyone.
When Qiao Xinguo and his wife saw this, they felt very upset.
"From now on, if Yaya wants to eat meat, just come back to find auntie, and auntie will let Yaya eat enough meat, okay?" Qiao Zhixia picked out another big bone with a lot of meat for Yaya.
"Thank you...Auntie..."
"Eat slowly, don't choke..."
After eating, Yaya ran to digest the food.
The two sisters were responsible for cleaning up the dishes. Qiao Zhixia told her sister about her current situation and her plans for the future.
Qiao Chudong didn't expect that selling vegetables could make so much money. In addition to being shocked, she was also full of admiration.
"Sister, I think women should always be able to make a living on their own. Only in this way will they not be looked down upon by men. What do you think?"
Qiao Zhixia knew that her sister had not yet suffered domestic violence, so she could not persuade her to divorce that man.
But she can help her sister become better, more outstanding, more independent, and let her meet more outstanding people.
In this way, no matter what happens to my sister, she will have the courage to resist, the confidence and the way out.
"You are right! If conditions permit, I would like to change myself and get rid of my current powerlessness."
"I will help you."
"What about you? You too, are you really not going to look for someone in the future?"
Qiao Zhixia looked back and saw that her parents were not there, so she spoke bluntly to her sister:
"Sister, do you think I'm sick? I don't want a man, but I want to have two blood-related children..."
