After hearing these words, Niu Guihua glared fiercely at Jiang Xintong and said, "You think we'll make room for you? You're dreaming!"
Jiang Xintong said with an indifferent expression, "Think what you want. Anyway, I, as your aunt, have said what I needed to say."
Jiang Ping opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. Instead, he pulled his wife back to their room. As for what they said, Jiang Xintong no longer cared.
He turned to look at Wang Dahua and sighed, "Mother, no one wants to see something like this happen, but it's already happened. We can only try to think of the best-case scenario and find a solution as soon as possible. From now on, you shouldn't get involved in family matters as much as possible; it won't do you any good."
You love your grandchildren, but look at how they treated you after you got sick. Did they clean up your bodily waste or wash your diapers?
It's not that I'm complaining as a daughter, but if you're going to be biased, at least be biased in the right way. Look at these kids in the family, what kind of people are they?
Look at Jiang Qiao again. Don't you regret it now? It's true that people's hearts can be biased, but don't let your thoughts become skewed too. Look at Jiang Qiao! With this comparison, can't you see the difference at all?
Sigh, this old man Qiao is a lucky man. He found such a filial child in his old age. I envy him too.
If Jiang Qiao were still by your side, would you think I, her daughter, would have needed to travel all this way back to endure this family's disdain and serve you?
Don't be unwilling to listen. Haven't you felt how your family has treated you?
This time, Wang Dahua remained completely silent. She regretted it, but she couldn't say it out loud; it would be useless anyway.
"Sigh, go to sleep, I'm exhausted after a long day. When are my grandson and granddaughter coming over?"
Jiang Xintong thought about her child, but her mother couldn't be left alone, so even if she missed home, she couldn't leave.
"They'll be here soon. I'll go back home once they arrive. There are still younger children at home, Mom. I raised those two children myself. You just need to guide them on what to do and how to do it. They're not little kids anymore; they know what they should and shouldn't do."
You don't need to spoil them. Just reason with them, and both children will be easy to manage. As for the rest, you don't need to worry about them.
Instead of relying on the old lady to protect the two children, she might as well just ask the neighbors for help. She shouldn't keep bothering Jiang Qiao; that girl seems quite busy, and she's just a child. There are too many people in the family who need this child's care.
Wang Dahua sighed, "Who can I teach? I don't dare to teach anyone now. Your brother and sister-in-law complain about me, but can they really blame me?"
I only want what's best for the children; how could I possibly harm them?
They were the ones who wanted to go into town, so why are they blaming me for everything now that something's happened? Do they really think I'm too old for them?
Jiang Xintong glanced at her mother and said, "You're old, aren't you? If you weren't, would they dare to do this? Go to sleep. Thinking about it won't help. None of us can solve this."
The next morning, when Jiang Qiao returned from her exercise, she saw Niu Guihua and her husband with dark circles under their eyes, sneaking out with their child and a bundle on their backs, looking as if they were afraid of being seen.
Jiang Qiao didn't bother to greet them, but Li Meilan, who was cooking at the door, did greet her.
"Girl, you've gone out for a run again. You're really something, aren't you? I've never seen a child like you who doesn't like to sleep in. What are Niu Guihua and her husband doing, sneaking around so early in the morning? Are they up to something bad or what?"
Jiang Qiao sighed, "How would I know? Auntie, you're busy, I have to go back and cook."
Wen Jingwan had already gotten up. She had already scooped out the food that Jiang Qiao had been sitting in the pot. She had also prepared some hot cornbread and two boxes of steamed buns, along with leftover vegetables and pickled vegetables, which made for a hearty breakfast.
"Qiao'er, go wash up quickly, it'll be time for dinner and then it'll be time for school."
Jiang Qiao tidied herself up and quickly helped bring the food into the house. "Grandpa Qiao, dinner's ready. Mom, you should eat too."
As for the little stone lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), Jiang Qiao only teased it a few times and didn't have time to play with her younger brother at all, as she had to go to school.
As for Dong Chunxiao, when Jiang Qiao visited again, she had already left with her child. Whether she had given up on the idea was hard to say for sure, since her daughter and son-in-law were being transferred here, and they might be able to come back again in the future.
"Damn it, that bitch is like a toad, coming over every day to annoy me. The more she tries to come in, the less I let her in. Why should I let her into my house?"
Qiao Jie shook his head. "Why are you arguing with a woman? You're just making trouble for no reason. You're getting worse as you get older. Alright, we're back. You take care of the kids, and I need to teach Jingwan something."
Ma Liu teased the little guy in the room, "I can't be happier. It's settled then, I'll take care of the child for now. Jingwan, you'll be in charge of feeding the child, and I'll take care of Xiaoshitou for the time being."
Gu Hanting did want to take the child with him, but with spring approaching and the fields busy, he didn't have the time, even if he wanted to.
Wen Jingwan was torn between worrying about her daughter and wanting to learn more from Qiao Jie.
Jiang Qiao, however, could understand her feelings as a mother. "Mom, just stay here and rest assured. Remember, if Dong Chunxiao comes again, just take care of my younger brother. As for the rest, listen to my sixth grandfather. Also, don't force yourself to learn too much or too little. You've already done your best."
Wen Jingwan was still worried about her daughter, so she pulled Jiang Qiao aside and talked for a long time about things the girl should pay attention to.
Her daughter is still an adult, so there are some things she, as a mother, needs to explain and remind her of beforehand, especially about Jiang Hong's matter. It served as a reminder to her that even though her child is sensible, she, as a mother, still needs to say what needs to be said.
"Okay, okay, I know, I understand, Mom. Don't worry, I'm not Jiang Hong, and I can't become Jiang Hong. Your daughter understands perfectly well. As a doctor, how could I not understand this?"
"Don't worry, don't worry, just stay home and relax. We won't interfere in other people's business. Just take good care of these old men."
Wen Jingwan knew her daughter was eager to go back, so she said, "Okay, take the things I've prepared to Ning Hao when you get back, and tell him to write to me when he has time."
In Wen Jingwan's mind, Ning Hao was a very good kid. He was good-looking and capable. As for his family background, her daughter wouldn't look at family background when choosing a partner; she would only look at the person and their character.
As for those messy things, she felt that Ning Hao could handle them. His father-in-law wasn't close to them, and there was no need for him to be filial to his parents-in-law. If the two children could really get together one day, her daughter's life would be easier in the future.
