Qiao Jie witnessed firsthand how Jiang Qiao treated the old lady when she was ill.
The little girl would rather sleep on a cold kang herself than let Wang Dahua suffer. This old senile woman started scheming against her granddaughter just because she had a grandson. In Qiao Jie's eyes, she was better off without such a grandmother.
Jiang Qiao touched the two new certificates and finally sighed. "To be honest, I feel a little ashamed. I feel like I've let my grandma down. But never mind them. Grandpa Qiao, when can I be discharged from the hospital? Can I go home and recuperate like this?"
The old man glanced at Ning Hao and Jiang Qiao and said, "Girl, if you trust my medical skills, we can leave the hospital. This illness requires recuperation. Staying in the hospital isn't very convenient. Why don't we go home and recuperate?"
Ning Hao was still worried, so he went to ask the doctor and, after receiving confirmation, left with Jiang Qiao and the others.
Jiang Qiao was in a hurry to leave for two reasons. First, she wanted to go home to recuperate from her illness, which would be more convenient for her. She felt bad about leaving Chunming and Chunxia in the hospital.
One more thing, Ning Hao is leaving. In any case, he's a really good friend.
Putting aside the fact that the two of them were working together to make money, she was also fortunate that he helped her run around this time.
Although the outcome was somewhat different from what she had expected, at least she had broken away from the Jiang family.
Fortunately, Qiao Jie's family is small, and the old man is a good person, so staying with the Qiao family for the time being is not a bad choice.
At her age, in this day and age, renting a house alone would attract attention not only from her neighbors but also from the staff who work there.
“Grandpa Qiao, I’ll have to pay you rent if I live in your house from now on. I can’t live here for free. Don’t underestimate me just because I’m young; I can earn my own money.”
The old man glanced at Jiang Qiao with amusement. "Little girl, is it really that bad? If I really took your rent, wouldn't I be cursed to death behind my back?"
You should just stay here and live peacefully. When you get older, I won't interfere with where you want to go or what you want to do.
Ning Hao glanced at Jiang Qiao. He could roughly guess what this little girl was thinking. It was precisely because he knew that he felt sorry for the girl in front of him.
Clearing his throat, his handsome face beamed with a smile, "Jiang Qiao, how about this, you and Grandpa Qiao don't talk about money anymore. In the future, if you can get something delicious, just cook it for the old man."
Grandpa Qiao, just eat whatever's available, don't worry about anything else. Anyway, you two will be relying on each other from now on, so just help Jiang Qiao out if she gets into any trouble.
Neither of them objected to Ning Hao's suggestion. "Okay, then it's settled. We'll do it the way Ning Hao says. Let's not talk about money. Whoever has it, we'll use it."
Jiang Qiao was quite curious about who had tipped her off today. If it weren't for that person secretly pulling the strings, leaving the Jiang family would probably have been a long and complicated process.
Ning Hao snorted, "Who else could it be but Li Meilan? I've been wondering, you two had a pretty unpleasant falling out before, why would she be secretly helping you?"
Without Jiang Qiao even having to say anything, Qiao Jie gave his answer directly: "You guys are still too young. How could you possibly guess what Li Meilan is thinking? That woman isn't exactly a saint either. If Wang Dahua and the others can make a move on Jiang Qiao, why can't they?"
I reckon she wanted to escalate things, so that Jiang Qiao and the Jiang family would fall out, and she could reap the benefits. But she didn't expect me to appear out of nowhere.
In addition, Li Meilan and her husband had another plan: to force Wang Dahua and her family out of the house, so that he could potentially buy it at a lower price.
Jiang Qiao had considered this, but the news was quite explosive for Ning Hao and his sister Chunxia.
"Oh, is that possible? That doesn't make sense, Grandpa Qiao. If Grandma Wang were to sell her house, everyone would likely buy it, including our family. How does he know he's guaranteed to get it?"
Qiao Jie sighed and said slowly, "You guys don't know this, do you? Putting aside those troublesome kids in their family, take Wang Tiezhu for example. Do you think he got into the city to work as a laborer? I heard that he has a distant cousin who is quite capable. I reckon that through his cousin's efforts, he can get the house before you guys."
However, on the other hand, Wang Dahua has been working hard to find a job for her son, and I don't think the old lady would sell the house unless absolutely necessary.
To put it bluntly, even if her son becomes unfilial in the future, at least she has a house in the city as a fallback plan; it's her last line of defense.
Ning Hao smiled and shook his head. "Who knows? Maybe that old lady will be fooled and end up selling her house and going home with her son. You can't always think about their family and their affairs in the same way as usual."
Fortunately, Jiang Qiao has been released, and from now on, the Jiang family's affairs won't concern her much anymore.
Jiang Qiao's return left the Jiang family and Wang Dahua with mixed feelings.
The girl is fine now, but her grandson is still in jail. Although Jiang Qiao has decided not to pursue the matter further, he still needs to be educated, so he won't be released for another three days.
Seeing the people at the table eating so happily, Wang Dahua felt really bad. You get attached to a cat or dog, let alone a person.
If Jiang Qiao were still alive, that child would definitely wait for her to start eating before she would eat. But now, who cares about that anymore?
As she put down her chopsticks and prepared to get down from the floor, Jiang Ping looked at the old lady with a puzzled expression.
"Mom, what are you doing? Hurry up and eat."
"You guys eat. I'll pack up Jiang Qiao's things and have someone send them over later."
Niu Guihua said as she ate her rice bowl, "Mom, what else does she have? I've already altered all those old clothes for your grandchildren. She doesn't have anything good left."
Speaking of this, the old lady slumped back down. How could she have forgotten that the child had already sold all the better clothes, and the rest had indeed been altered by her daughter-in-law. Where in the house was there anything belonging to Jiang Qiao?
Looking at his grandchildren who were eating with their heads down, he sighed and said with a bitter feeling in his heart, "From now on, all of you should be well and don't go looking for trouble with Jiang Qiao. Don't underestimate Jiang Qiao. If this girl really gets angry, none of you will be a match for her. Your brother and the others are a lesson to be learned. You should all learn from this."
Niu Guihua pursed her lips as she ate her cornbread. "Mom, look at what you're saying. When have we ever bothered her for no reason? It's all that troublemaker's fault. She's the one who causes all this trouble."
This time, it's that old man's turn to be unlucky. Hmph, who knows, those two might even be sleeping in the same bed now.
Wang Dahua slammed her chopsticks down on the table, glaring angrily at her daughter-in-law, "Niu Guihua, from now on you better watch your mouth! Don't you know that loose lips sink ships? If I find out you say that again, I'll tear your mouth apart! Time to eat!"
