The next morning, Jiang Qiao accompanied Wen Ziqing to apply for a dormitory. The person in charge of this matter was a bit difficult for Wen Ziqing, since her parents were leaders and they wouldn't compete with ordinary workers for a dormitory.
Jiang Qiao disagreed, saying, "Comrade, what you're saying isn't right. Comrade Ziqing is at least in her twenties. She's an adult and needs to learn to be independent."
Besides, that's her stepfather's house, it has little to do with her. She's already broken ties with the Wen family, so why are you forcing her to go back to the Wen family?
"That's where you're wrong. It's not about uniting all forces that can be united; what do you mean by pushing people away? Are you looking down on Comrade Ziqing's previous actions? Was it wrong of her to break with the Wen family?"
Jiang Qiao is good at labeling people, but she rarely uses it as an excuse. However, Wen Ziqing's matter must be settled immediately, preferably in a dormitory. It's not that she doesn't have the money to rent a house for her; it's just that a young woman living alone outside is bound to be criticized.
The dormitory is Wen Ziqing's best choice. Even if that guy surnamed Duan tries to pull some tricks, she still has to avoid him.
"Oh, comrade, what are you saying? How could we not welcome Comrade Ziqing to stay? I just saw that the minister's family has plenty of housing. Since she wants to stay, I'll just go through the formalities for her. There's no need for so much talk."
Jiang Qiao nodded slightly. "That's good. I thought your factory had two different treatments for workers. Okay, thank you for your help."
Jiang Qiao's attitude made everyone at the factory feel uneasy. Who had Wen Ziqing climbed up to this time? The woman's aura was not that of an ordinary person; even Jiang Qiao herself was a little scared.
Unfortunately, Jiang Qiao didn't have time to pay attention to these people and followed Wen Ziqing to the dormitory for a look.
"I'm going to buy some things in a bit. I've bought everything you need. I should go now, my train leaves tonight."
"Ziqing, let's go out for lunch. Who knows when we'll see each other again?"
Wen Ziqing nodded. "I don't have any tickets, Jiang Qiao. Could you buy them for me first? I'll pay you back later."
Jiang Qiao patted Wen Ziqing on the shoulder. "Sisters, let's not talk about money. This is a gift for you. Remember, your father and your older brother can only be at ease if you are doing well. Be patient and wait for them to come back. I'm going out now. See you at the door at noon."
Jiang Qiao wandered around all morning, mailing some things to her family, friends, and Wen Ziling. Then, she took the things she bought and the things she smuggled out of her space and delivered them to the gate of Wen Ziqing's factory.
Wen Ziqing, who was waiting in a daze, twitched her lips when she saw the things Jiang Qiao had bought.
"My God, so many, isn't that too much?"
Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "You have a lot of clothes, shoes, socks, and daily necessities. Actually, you can't be without any of them. Staying in the dormitory is different from staying at home. It's better to have more than less. Let's go and pack."
Seeing the things Jiang Qiao bought, Wen Ziqing knew they weren't cheap, even though she didn't ask the price.
She had seen the prices of some of these things before, but hadn't been able to bring herself to buy them. She never expected that Jiang Qiao would actually buy them all for her. She was incredibly grateful for this favor.
Jiang Qiao's goal was to settle Wen Zhongxuan's daughter properly so that she could give her uncle an explanation. Therefore, she didn't care whether the items were expensive or cheap. After all, they were from the Wen family and had a good eye for things.
The two sisters had a simple lunch, and then Jiang Qiao and Wen Ziqing parted ways and went their separate ways.
Sitting at home, Ning Hao was practically green with anticipation. He already knew that Zhang Dalei had taken over the house, and everything on his side was ready. He was just waiting for Jiang Qiao to come back so they could hold their wedding.
He had already discussed the wedding with his elders and family members, and they decided to keep it simple, holding one ceremony in the village and another in the city.
These past two days, the old men have been busy receiving packages from all sorts of places. They don't know how these people knew that their Qiao'er was getting married. All kinds of gifts have kept the old men busy, not to mention the ones Jiang Qiao mailed.
"Liu Zi, quick, write it down. We don't know who gave it to us. Let the child see it when we get back. You write it all down in the ledger. In the future, the girl should give gifts when she needs to, and return gifts when she needs to."
Ma Liu sat to the side with a smile, writing names on a piece of paper. "Oh dear, I think it's most likely that the girl's friends who met along the way sent it, as well as those patients and Zhengfeng's friends."
Old Hou, tell me, didn't you also deserve some credit?
Hou Diankui smiled and said, "Our girl is getting married only once in her life, so we have to prepare a decent dowry. Although we don't pay much attention to this now, we can't skip this custom."
I know that Old Gu and his in-laws can't mistreat the child, but it's more lively with more people. If we visit often in the future, you'll naturally understand that it's all related to our Qiao'er.
Otherwise, even if I tell just anyone, no one will pay any attention to me, right?
Ma Liu pointed at Hou Diankui and said, "You're so right. Well then, take it. I was worried that our child's wedding would be shabby, but it looks alright now, at least it's presentable."
Gu Hanting smiled to the side. Even Ma Liu and Qiao Jie knew in their hearts that their Qiao'er was a hidden little rich girl. It's just that the child was low-key and never showed off. Even though she was a rich person, people thought that the child was not living a good life.
When Jiang Qiao arrived in the county town, the first phone call she made was to her father. "My God, you're finally back! We'll be right back. Girl, Haozi has already chosen a date, it'll be a week from now. Hurry back and get ready, your mother and I will be back soon."
"Remember to tell my uncle—"
Jiang Qiao hadn't expected Ning Hao to set the date so early. She was worried that if she was delayed on the way, wouldn't it be a waste of time to notify everyone to come over?
However, she quickly realized that with Hou Diankui, this powerful figure, in the family, there was really nothing to worry about; whatever the old man said went.
Afterwards, she called Ning Hao, guessing that he should be helping out in the village right now, since it was Sunday and he probably wouldn't be staying in the city.
Hearing Jiang Qiao's voice on the other end of the phone, Ning Hao jumped for joy.
"Master Hou really didn't lie to me, Jiang Qiao. It's good that you're back. You don't need to bring anything. We'll slaughter a pig at home. I've also asked Uncle Zhou to prepare everything else for us. All we're missing is you. Hurry up and take the car back."
Jiang Qiao was also eager to return home, but before coming back, she still went to report to Chen Fang.
"Remember, I'll treat you to drinks then. Ning Hao already told you the time, right?"
Chen Fang smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, you won't get away. You can rest for a while, and we'll arrange some work for you later."
Jiang Qiao was most curious about whether Liu Zhanyu had made any moves.
"Not yet, we're just waiting for him to take the bait. Just wait, this isn't going to happen overnight. Hurry back, this trip has taken quite a while, your family must be worried."
After handing the gift to Chen Fang, Jiang Qiao went straight to the station to catch a train back home.
