Chapter 388 Apology



The group exchanged bewildered glances—that's true, since she made a mistake and it's the Su family's work points that are deducted, why are they so anxious?

So, the scorekeeper thought for a moment and then arranged for Xia Tianyu to go with the children to cut pig feed.

It was easy, and she learned it quickly.

He gripped the sickle and swung it incessantly, seemingly sparing no effort.

That afternoon, she managed to earn two work points.

When I put down the sickle and went home, I realized that both arms were so painful that even moving them was excruciating.

However, the Su family still didn't cook for her that evening.

When she timidly approached the dining table, Sun Qiaomei suddenly shouted, "You caused the Su family to lose 50 work points, how dare you eat?"

Xia Tianyu stood there for a while, and seeing that everyone was eating their meals in silence, she didn't say anything and returned to the woodshed.

A short while later, Su Yin returned after finishing her meal.

Wiping his mouth, he lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed), put his hands behind his head, and pointed to a pile of dirty clothes under the kang: "Ugly freak, go wash my clothes!"

Xia Tianyu raised her eyes and looked at Su Yin:

"Brother Su Yin, I think I might not be able to hold on any longer."

Brother Su Yin, it's me, Xiao Yu.

I have our son in my belly.

Brother Su Yin, please help me…

Su Yin frowned and asked in surprise, "You're not my wife, so how could you be carrying my son?"

Xia Tianyu was shocked: "Then who is your wife?!"

Su Yin chuckled and said, "Her name is Xiuer!"

The moment Xia Tianyu uttered the words "Her name is Xiuer," she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

Xiuer!

Summer Show!

Meanwhile, Xia Tianxiu was attending Qi Yuan's memorial service in Beijing.

Next, she went on stage to deliver a eulogy.

She looked at the manuscript in her hand again.

It was Qi Zhao's idea to let her speak.

Qi Zhao felt that Qi Yuan's memorial service was a great opportunity for Xia Tianxiu to make her debut and integrate into the Beijing social circle.

On the train back to Beijing, Xia Tianxiu and Qi Yaqin had already completely fallen out.

Actually, on the way back, everyone in that car had a lot of complaints about Qi Yaqin.

Qi Yuan was the backbone of their Qi family, and now this backbone has fallen inexplicably. Although Qi Yaqin was not nailed to the ground, everyone tacitly believes that she was the one who angered Qi Yuan to death.

Xia Tianxiu, also known as Qiao Tianyue, is the daughter that Qi Yaqin just found, so these people's hostility is unconsciously directed at her.

When Qi Yaqin realized this, she was secretly pleased, feeling that her daughter had shielded her from everyone's hostility.

So, while people were criticizing everything Qiao Tianyue did, Qi Yaqin joined in, criticizing her as well.

Summer Show finally broke down.

She stared into Qi Yaqin's eyes and asked sadly, "Mom, you killed Grandpa, and I covered it up for you. Why are you doing this to me? You hate me so much, why did you bring me back?"

Qi Yaqin was shocked: "Yue'er, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Summer Show cried to everyone:

"My mother asked me to keep it a secret from her, but I know!"

I know that!

My grandfather's health was already very poor when he was admitted to the nursing home.

But Mom always picks fights with Grandpa.

Once, my grandfather was really not feeling well, but my mother insisted that he accompany her to the cafeteria for a meal!

She had to walk such a long way just because she wanted to eat freshly cooked candied sweet potatoes!

Mom, how cruel you are...

Why do I have a mother like you...?

My life is so hard...

Upon hearing this, Qi Yaqin's face turned deathly pale: "Yue'er, what nonsense are you talking about? Mom is going to the cafeteria to eat because she wants Grandpa to get more exercise."

Xia Tianxiu cried, "No! You said it yourself. You said it's because Grandpa travels all over the country all day long and can eat whatever delicious food he wants, while you stay in Beijing and the chef at home hasn't changed in centuries, so you can't eat anything."

Qi Yaqin was so angry she felt dizzy: "You have a really good memory!"

As soon as he said that, everyone knew that Xia Tianxiu was telling the truth.

Qi Wei pushed through the crowd and came to Xia Tianxiu's side: "Yue'er, tell your second grandfather, how did your mother kill your maternal grandfather?"

Xia Tianxiu glanced at Qi Yaqin with a hint of fear in her eyes: "I...I don't know."

Qi Zhao tried to smooth things over, saying, "Grandpa, please don't pressure Yue'er. Look how scared the child is!"

Xia Tianxiu glanced gratefully at Qi Zhao and then stepped behind him.

This discussion about whether Qi Yaqin actually killed Qi Yuan ended abruptly and unhappily.

Throughout the journey, Qi Zhao spoke up for Xia Tianxiu.

In fact, Qi Yaqin's loss of her daughter back then was largely due to Qi Zhao.

Back then, Qi Zhao discovered that Qiao Tianyue's nanny had fed her a kind of powder when she was crying and wouldn't sleep.

Qi Zhao was only about ten years old at the time. Without thinking much about it, he told all the adults about it in a big way.

However, that nanny had actually been working for Qijia for a long time.

After learning about this, Qi Yuan gave her an ultimatum, telling her to leave the Qi family after Xia Tianxiu's full moon celebration.

Qi Yuan even gave the nanny two months' salary extra.

However, when the nanny left, she took Qiao Tianyue with her.

Qi Zhao always felt that if he hadn't been so talkative, or if he had handled things more tactfully and not made such a big fuss, Qiao Tianyue might not have been taken away in retaliation.

Therefore, Qi Zhao always felt that his niece's return was an opportunity for him to atone for his sins.

Naturally, he was determined to protect her.

Therefore, when it came time for the memorial service, Qi Zhao insisted on having Xia Tianxiu speak on stage, and even wrote a speech for her himself.

Qi Zhao hopes to make up for Xia Tian's excessive showing off.

In his view, this is just the beginning.

Finally, it was Xia Tianxiu's turn to go on stage. But after standing on the stage, she slowly put down her script, her eyes filled with tears, and looked at the crowd below the stage: "I am Qi Yuan's granddaughter, my name is Qiao Tianyue. Yes, I am the granddaughter who was just found and lost for fifteen years, and I am also Qi Yaqin's daughter."

After saying this, she turned her gaze to Qi Yaqin and said, choking back tears, "Mom, please come up on stage!"

Wearing a hat with the brim pulled low, Qi Yaqin had already told Qi Zhao and the others that she wouldn't go on stage to speak.

After all, at times like this, she doesn't need to make her presence felt.

Now, when her daughter called her out of the blue, she looked up blankly and asked, "What's wrong, Yue'er?"

Xia Tianxiu said slowly and deliberately, "Mom, please come up on stage and apologize to Grandpa."
