Chapter 8



After the deputy mine manager confirmed that a collapse had occurred, he turned pale with fright. It was Qiao Zhixia who caused this incident. If this accident involved a loss of life, he would be to blame.

Thinking of this, the look he gave Qiao Zhixia was no longer filled with disgust, but instead was full of gratitude, and even the look he gave Qiao Xinguo softened.

After a group of miners who escaped the disaster came to their senses, they expressed their gratitude to the police officers and Qiao Zhixia.

"Luckily we were caught by this lesbian, otherwise we would have been buried alive by now."

"Oh my god! I almost went down to see grandma..."

The deputy mine manager immediately expressed to Qiao Zhixia that he would actively cooperate with her and even made an exception to strive for a formal employee quota for Qiao Xinguo.

Qiao Zhixia said at this time that she was so frightened that she suddenly remembered the important characteristics of the robber.

She pointed at the dark and strong man hiding in the back. This was Chen Lingling's cousin, a robber. He was so short of money that he couldn't go to the mining area to sell his meat.

"It's him. He has a mole behind his ear, and I put a mousetrap in the bag where I kept my money. His finger is also injured..."

The man's name was Er Gou. Although he indirectly admitted that he had indeed stolen her bag, he insisted that there were 800 yuan in the bag.

But Qiao Zhixia was determined to do it. The eight hundred yuan she got from Chen Jidong was in her bag.

He had to admit it even if he wanted to. Who knew it was because he didn't take it well and dropped it on the road, or he and 巸 shared it.

It is said that Jun 떚놊 is on the verge of collapse. Er Gou has even committed robbery, so naturally what he says is not credible.

He was caught on the spot by the police. When he learned that he might go to jail, he panicked and decisively confessed the conspiracy to Chen Lingling.

So, when Chen Jidong was happy to take Wang Ruqiu out of the detention center, his good sister went in again.

Qiao Zhixia rejected the deputy mine manager's suggestion to make Qiao Xinguo a regular employee, and instead took Qiao Xinguo home.

The deputy mine manager did not stop him, but generously said that he could come to him if he had any difficulties in the future.

Qiao Xinguo was still haunted by the collapse accident, so he decided to go back to his carpentry work.

It's not that he was afraid of death, but that he knew that if he died, his wife and daughter would be left without support.

But before he walked out of the mining area, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and then his eyes went dark and he passed out.

Qiao Xinguo was sent to the county hospital by the police. The medical conditions in the county hospital were limited. Although he was saved, he needed to go to the city hospital for an examination.

After Qiao Zhixia temporarily settled her father in the county hospital, she went back to Qiao's house alone.

It was dinner time when she got home. People were eating and drinking around the eight-immortal table in the main hall, which she had cut several grooves in. The only person missing was her mother, Li Aizhen.

It's easy to imagine that mom only cooks but doesn't get to eat.

Sure enough, when Qiao Zhixia stretched her head, she saw Li Aizhen washing the pot by the stove in the kitchen.

"Hurry up and eat. That hen that lays eggs is not worthy of eating such delicious food." The old man with his back to the door gave the last two corn cakes on the plate to his two grandchildren.

Qiao Zhixia looked at the only bowl of corn paste left on the table. She was so angry that she took off her shoes and threw them in the middle of the table.

"Eat, eat, eat quickly! My dad is in trouble, and you still have the energy to eat! Eat this meal, and eat the next one underground!"

The shoe flew accurately into the corn paste and splashed the faces of several people at the table.

"You loser, what are you doing?" The old man was so angry that he was grunting, but because he had seen Qiao Zhixia slashing with a knife, he dared only talk.

"Zhizhi, what did you say? What happened to your dad?" It was Li Aizhen in the kitchen who lost one of her shoes.

In front of the whole family, Qiao Zhixia nervously said that Qiao Xinguo had an accident in the mining area and needed to go to the city for inspection.

She asked the old man who managed the finances at home to take out the money, and she paid for Qiao Xinguo's medical expenses.

When the old man and others heard that she wanted money, their faces suddenly turned black.

First of all, let’s not worry about whether something really happened to Qiao Xinguo. Even if it is true, the mining area should be responsible for what happened in the mine. Why should they pay?

Qiao Zhixia had long expected them to do this, and she was prepared.

"Dad is seriously ill. What does it have to do with the mine? You should get the money out quickly. If you are late, Dad might die."

When Li Aizhen heard the order, she was so anxious that she turned around and for the first time, she urgently and forcefully begged the old man for money.

"Dad, most of the money in your pocket was earned by Xinguo. You can't care whether he lives or dies! Xinguo is also your son!"

"Bah! Stop talking too much, you egg-laying hen! What do you mean it's Qiao Xinguo who earned the money, and the old man raised him with all his might, so shouldn't he give me money?"

The old man's attitude was as if he would rather die than give up the money.

She also asked her son to go to the mine first to ask whether something really happened. After all, she believed what Qiao Zhixia said.

Qiao Zhixia was naturally afraid that they would hear it. She had originally planned to let her father pretend to be sick, but she didn't expect that her father would suddenly become really sick.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for them to confirm that Qiao Xinguo's illness was fake, but the old man was still willing to pay.

"Do you have the 800 yuan that the Chen family gave you? Go and treat your father first. I have money in my pocket that can be used to feed such a big family!"

"My money was robbed by the Chen family. If you don't save my father, who will support you in the future?"

"You are a money-loser, you mortal. I told you to hand over your money a long time ago, but you refused. You deserve to be robbed! You are a piece of junk!" The old man cursed.

Qiao Jinbao also imitated his grandfather and put his hands on his waist and said proudly: "Grandpa still bought us bicycles, how could he have money to waste on that useless garbage? All of you get out of my house!"

Li Aizhen was so angry that her heart ached. "You are a bunch of heartless people...you..."

"Mom, let's borrow some money to send Dad to the hospital first." Qiao Zhixia took a deep look at Qiao Jia, then took her trembling mother and left.

This is her first step in splitting up the family. If something unexpected happens next, these vampires will have to split up the family.

Qiao Zhixia took Li Aizhen and Qiao Xinguo's objections and took them to the city hospital for examination.

The elders must have been ill at that time, so the situation became even worse after she got into trouble, and she died a few years later.

After some examination, Qiao Xinguo was diagnosed with heart disease due to long-term overwork. The doctor advised him to stay in bed for observation and not to engage in heavy work again.

If the condition is under control, a bypass surgery will be required.

Li Aizhen was diagnosed with severe stomach problems and lumbar muscle strain due to irregular eating habits over a long period of time, and relied on Chinese medicine and diet therapy to recuperate.

Both diseases require long-term medication, which will be a huge expense.

Qiao Zhixia held a thick stack of medical checkup forms in her hand, looking at her parents who had exhausted themselves for this family, and she became furious when she thought of the faces of those vampires.

"We're fine, doctors are all liars." Seeing their daughter's grim face, the wife forced a smile to comfort her.

The Qiao family was devastated when they learned that Qiao Xinguo could no longer work like a slave for them day and night and had to take medicine and stay in bed for a long time.

Qiao Xinguo could hear his sister-in-law's thumping and falling outside even when he was lying on the bed.

"He works and then he stays at home eating and drinking for free and waiting for us to serve him. He really knows how to enjoy himself."

"Why did uncle die directly? If he died in the mining area, we could have earned some money. What a useless bastard..." Qiao Jinbao said with disdain without any hesitation.

Qiao Zhixia smiled maliciously: "If you, a bastard, die, my dad will die too! I have to serve you even if you are used to it. Who told us that we are a family? Even if we drag it out, you will die. Fortunately, you didn't agree to separate the family last time, otherwise we would be in big trouble..."

Qiao Xinguo sat on the bed, a sad smile still on his face, but tears were falling from the corners of his eyes.

"Dad, do you really believe that they can provide for you in your old age?"

Qiao Xinguo was silent.

"Dad, listen to me from now on..."
