When Qian Jiaojiao saw her mother-in-law coming in, she quickly put on a smiling face.
The mother-in-law stared at Chandan and asked, "Is she your brother's daughter?"
"Yes." The aunt and nephew answered in unison.
Qian Jiaojiao spoke before her mother-in-law could speak again, "Mom, Dandan has to catch the bus, so she won't be home for dinner."
The mother-in-law pretended to try to keep me and then left.
Qian Dan sat there motionless. Qian Jiaojiao sighed, "Dandan, Auntie really has no money left.
Since you know, I won’t hide it from you. I am indeed pregnant.
I don’t know how I’m going to support my child from now on.
You are in good health and can find a job to support yourself. Your aunt really can't help you.
Just think of it as your aunt begging you to let me go, okay?"
Qian Dan just watched her quietly until she finished speaking, then snorted in disdain, "Auntie, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but don't you know what your situation is?
It is irresponsible of you to give birth to him. You cannot give him a future.
If something happens in the future, you will only make his life worse than death.
I advise you not to have children. Give me the money and I will take it home to honor your grandparents during the New Year.
Qian Jiaojiao looked at Qian Dan's hypocritical face and her heart sank.
She took out her wallet from her trouser pocket, which contained fifty yuan. "I'll give you the wallet too."
Chandan rolled his eyes but remained motionless.
Qian Jiaojiao glanced at her with disgust and said through gritted teeth, "There really is no more. Wait until your uncle pays you and then come and get some."
Chandan then took the wallet, took out the money from it, and threw the empty wallet on the bed.
She wouldn't even want such an ugly wallet even if it was given to her for free.
"Aunt, it's settled then. I'll come over next week."
Qian Dan left with a smile on her face. She did not notice the fierceness in Qian Jiaojiao's eyes behind her.
Qian Jiaojiao muttered to herself, "Qian Dan, I gave you a chance, but you were greedy. Don't blame me."
Qian Dan returned to the rental house and put fifty yuan into the box. The moment he closed the box, Qian Dan thought about it and opened it again.
She now counts her money every day to feel at ease.
Shitou came back and Chandan said to him, "Shitou, you are breaking the law by doing this, don't you know?"
Shitou scratched his head. "How can it be that serious? We are just helping people register and recommending hospitals. There is nothing illegal about it."
Qian Dan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. "That's fine. We ordinary people can't do anything illegal or our lives will be ruined if we get caught."
Shitou asked her, "Dandan, who told you that what I did was illegal?"
"It's my aunt!" Qian Dan blurted out.
"Your aunt? Is she the one who gave you the money?"
Qian Dan called him impatiently, "Come and eat quickly, the food will get cold soon."
While eating, Shitou said again: "Dandan, since your aunt gave you money, why don't you ask her to help you find a job?"
Qian Dan was angry. "Shi Tou, are you done yet? I don't want you to meddle in my affairs!"
Oh, how could I have let it slip? It seems I can’t take the stone back with me for the New Year.
Otherwise, if he knew about my aunt's affairs and reported it, I would also be implicated.
Next week, when my uncle gets his salary, and the week after that, Shitou also gets his salary, I will go home early to celebrate the New Year.
Wait until after the New Year and then come back to look for a job.
What Qian Dan didn't know was that Qian Jiaojiao had already finished her meal and was sitting on the bed, preparing to toss a coin to decide her life or death.
She first took out a one-cent coin from under her pillow, which she brought from home.
Over the years, whenever faced with a choice, she made her decision by flipping this coin.
Facts have proved that these decisions were correct.
That's why she can live peacefully until now.
Qian Jiaojiao gently stroked the coin with her fingertips and murmured to herself, "Qian Dan, will you live or die? I'd better ask the heavens for you."
After Qian Jiaojiao finished speaking, she tossed the coin.
Looking at the coin, Qian Jiaojiao covered her mouth and smiled.
When Li Qiumei was on a business trip, she stopped by to see Zhou Xiaopeng, who had just started working.
Looking at her high-spirited nephew, Li Qiumei had a feeling that, "My son has grown up, and is as free as the wind."
"Aunt, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
Li Qiumei smiled when she heard that. "Okay, from now on, I'll follow you."
The two of them ate and chatted, "Xiaopeng, do you have a girlfriend?"
Zhou Xiaopeng hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Aunt, I... Zhang Xiaoxi and I are together."
"Zhang Xiaoxi? This name sounds familiar?" Li Qiumei muttered.
Zhou Xiaopeng looked at Li Qiumei with some trepidation, "She is the daughter of Mr. Zhang who wanted to marry my mother."
Li Qiumei was shocked. "What? It's Lao Zhang's daughter?
Xiaopeng, how come you got involved with him?"
Zhou Xiaopeng put down his chopsticks and said, "Aunt, Xiaoxi was admitted to our school later.
Because we knew each other before, we helped each other when we had something to do.
Later, I felt that Xiaoxi and his father were completely different types of people, so we started dating. "
Li Qiumei was a little disapproving, "Xiaopeng, does your mother know about this?"
Zhou Xiaopeng shook his head, "I haven't told her yet, I think she will object.
I want to date Xiaoxi first and see how it goes. We can talk about it later."
Li Qiumei asked him, "Is this the reason why you don't want to go back to Beicheng to work?
Zhang Xiaoxi hasn't graduated yet, so you're staying here waiting for her?"
Zhou Xiaopeng nodded and said "hmm".
Li Qiumei frowned, "Does Zhang Xiaoxi's family know that you two are dating?"
"Aunt, Xiaoxi and I haven't told our family either."
Li Qiumei looked at Zhou Xiaopeng and said earnestly, "Xiaopeng, don't blame your aunt for being too talkative.
You still need to be cautious about this matter, after all, Zhang Xiaoxi's family situation is quite complicated.
It's almost impossible for you two to get your mother's approval.
Now I just hope that you two can be careful about your relationship and not let it affect each other's studies and work."
Next, Li Qiumei didn't know how to persuade him, so she changed the subject, "Xiaopeng, has your father come to see you?"
Zhou Xiaopeng picked up a large shrimp for Li Qiumei and said, "No, I heard from my mother that the illegitimate child seemed to have been hospitalized several times.
She told me to be more vigilant.”
Li Qiumei also reminded him, "Then you really need to be more vigilant.
From now on, don't eat any food of unknown origin, don't go to the hospital for any examination, and don't trust anyone.
Except your mother and me, of course, remember?"
"Xiaopeng," a surprised voice sounded behind Li Qiumei.
