The mother and daughter exchanged a glance. Huang Xiaomei assumed she was in trouble. "What's wrong? Is something wrong at home?"
Qiu Xingcui keenly sensed that what Yu Qiuying was about to say was probably related to her.
She glanced at Yu Qiuying, and then, as if thinking of something, lowered her head shyly.
But the next second, Yu Qiuying said, "Sister-in-law, Cuicui, Jiadong has a girl he likes."
Qiu Xingcui's expression froze, and she stared blankly at Yu Qiuying.
Huang Xiaomei frowned. "When did this happen?"
“Sister-in-law, didn’t you ask me before why I hit him? It’s because of this. The girl he likes is also from the county town. She’s not in good health, and her family wants my family to give a dowry of 1,000 yuan. You know what my family’s situation is. How can I afford to give him so much money to marry this girl? But Jia Dong is determined to marry that girl. We’ve argued about this several times.”
“He brought it up again when I came back for the holiday, and even asked me to borrow money to pay for his bride price. I was so angry that day that I beat him up.”
“Sister-in-law, I know that Lao Qiu has the intention of raising Jiadong as his son-in-law. You have taken good care of him over the past six months. I used to think that if the two children were interested in each other, I would find a suitable opportunity to shamelessly visit you and discuss the matter between the two children. But now Jiadong has been bewitched by that girl, and he doesn’t even care about me, his mother, anymore.”
At this point, Yu Qiuying sighed helplessly, "I am completely heartbroken over him now. From now on, I will pretend that I never had this son."
She held Qiu Xingcui's hand and said, "Cuicui, Jiadong is not good enough for you. He's just good-looking, but he has no sense of responsibility and his character is bad. A girl as good as you deserves better."
Qiu Xingcui bit her lip and lowered her head in disappointment.
"Sigh... Since Jiadong has someone he likes, let's not bring this up again." Huang Xiaomei glanced at her daughter, whose face was full of disappointment, and couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Zhou Jiadong. How could this kid be like this? He knew that Lao Qiu was grooming him to be his son-in-law, and he knew that Cuicui had feelings for him, but he didn't even tell them that he had someone he liked!
Never mind, thankfully this matter wasn't brought up publicly. I'll talk to Lao Qiu when he gets back tonight. We can't let Cuicui be alone with Zhou Jiadong anymore.
Huang Xiaomei didn't want to see her daughter looking disappointed. "Alright, Cuicui, go wash the dishes. You take Lele and the others to school later, and I'll go with your aunt to the hospital."
Upon hearing this, Yu Qiuying quickly said, "No need to trouble you, sister-in-law. I know the way, I can go by myself."
"Alright then, Jiadong is in the third ward on the fifth floor of the inpatient department. Oh, by the way, take this over to him. Next time you come, don't bring anything. If you feel bad about coming empty-handed, just bring me some eggs from home." Huang Xiaomei said, packing the bananas and canned goods that Yu Qiu had bought back for her, leaving only the milk powder and wine.
Yu Qiuying snatched back her cloth bag and scolded, "I bought it for the children to eat, how could I take it with me?"
Without waiting for her to say anything more, he stood up and said, "Alright, I'm leaving. Don't bother seeing me off. Take the children for their afternoon nap."
However, after leaving Qiu's house, Yu Qiuying did not go to the hospital, but instead took a motorcycle taxi to Zhong Xiaolan's house.
She was angered by Zhong Xiaolan her whole life in her past life, so how could she not get revenge in this life?
Today she has to really disgust her.
Upon arriving at the north gate where the Zhong family lived, Yu Qiuying first found a secluded corner, and under the cover of the cloth bag, she put the food she had brought for her eldest son into her spatial storage. Then, she took out a worn-out outfit and a pair of dirty shoes that she had prepared beforehand, put them on, stuffed the cloth bag into her pocket, and then walked towards the Zhong family.
The Zhong family lives in an apartment building, on the third floor.
Zhong Xiaolan's parents both work in a towel factory. In her previous life, Yu Qiuying came once. At that time, in order not to be disliked by the Zhong family, she specially bought cloth and made a new dress to dress properly. She also brought two chickens and a basket of eggs.
As a result, the Zhong family still acted superior and looked down on her, but they accepted the chicken and eggs without any hesitation.
This time, Yu Qiuying, dressed in tattered clothes and empty-handed, knocked on the Zhong family's door.
