Speaking of her former in-laws, Chu Lin rarely wore a look of satisfaction.
"Isn't their son having an ambiguous relationship with a young widow? After the divorce, Wang Zhongquan immediately married the young widow."
"That woman with him? Are you crazy? He said he was just trying to scam some money, but this guy's character is completely unreliable."
Chu Lin sighed, "The Wang family made a promise that their son would become successful. They said that Wang Zhongquan's godfather was a high-ranking official, and the Wang family would also unconditionally accept the widow's two children. So, when they got married, the Wang family didn't spend a single penny to bring her home."
Hmph, who would have thought that Wang Zhongquan's so-called godfather was actually his biological father? Not only was he an illegitimate child, but his good father was also an enemy agent.
Do you think the Wang family's life will get better? The widow saw that she hadn't enjoyed any good fortune and was now burdened with such a reputation, so she wouldn't allow it.
She's a formidable woman, much stronger than your aunt. That woman can cause trouble too, and her brothers and sisters all back her up. The Wang family is really in trouble this time; they've split up the family property.
What happens to the Wang family has absolutely nothing to do with Jiang Qiao, and she knows the ins and outs of this matter better than anyone else. But the problem is that it involves Ning Ailin's child.
Although she disliked the children's actions, they were, after all, Ning Ailin's own children. No matter how wrong they were, in a mother's eyes, they were all forgivable.
"What about my aunt's children? They won't have an easy time living under their stepmother's care. Besides, she has her own children."
Speaking of her grandson, Chu Lin's face flushed slightly. Why? Because when Jiang Qiao had her accident, her unfortunate grandson actually set his sights on Ning Hao and Jiang Qiao's new house. You know, that new house held memories for her grandson and Jiang Qiao.
Fortunately, this wasn't told to his grandson, otherwise Ning Hao would have beaten the other party up. He didn't expect these people to understand how his grandson felt, but they shouldn't take advantage of others' misfortunes.
Even the old lady herself felt this was unreasonable. Luckily, Jiang Qiao and Ning Hao didn't know about it, otherwise, who knows what they might think of Eileen and the others.
"Sigh, don't even mention it. Those ungrateful kids, seeing that Grandma's family has lost power, think that our problems are much less serious than the Wang family's. Now they're relying on your aunt again."
Well, even if the child isn't hers, she's still hers. I'm too lazy to get involved in this matter. There's only one condition: don't even think about taking my house. I'm not giving it to anyone; it's for our retirement.
What could Jiang Qiao say? She couldn't get involved in the Ning family's affairs. The old lady hadn't said anything, so there must be some other twists and turns in between. As long as it didn't reach her, she would pretend not to know.
"Grandma, why don't you go back first? My grandpa has settled in here pretty well."
The old lady shook her head. "I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay wherever your grandfather is. Anyway, we don't have much time left, and we'll be going back soon."
The old lady was most concerned about the baby in Jiang Qiao's belly, and repeatedly told her, "You can't do anything dangerous. These are three lives at stake. If there's nothing else, let's not go out. We're doing fine here. Don't worry about us. Just take good care of the baby."
Oh dear, time flies! I'm almost a great-grandmother already. Life really doesn't go by fast enough.
The old lady had a lot to say, and Jiang Qiao listened from the side. After the old lady finished speaking, she asked about Fang Yuejin's situation.
"Sigh, same old story. They said they've already submitted the materials, but we haven't heard anything yet. Let's wait and see."
Jiang Qiao handed another package to Chu Lin. "Grandma, this is for Uncle Fang. Please pass it on. I can't wait here any longer. We have a meeting tomorrow."
You should tell Uncle Fang to wait patiently. I asked around, and he said the time isn't right yet. Tell him not to worry, and when the time comes, my uncle will also find a way.
"Okay, I've passed on the message. You should head back now, drive slowly, no rush—"
Not long after Jiang Qiao left, Fang Yuejin returned. His shoes were wet and his feet were freezing, so he had no choice but to come back to change them. He was still a little confused when he saw the bundle on his bed.
Chu Lin explained, "Qiao'er prepared it for you, I don't know what's inside..."
He relayed Jiang Qiao's words to Fang Yuejin. After the old lady returned to her room, Fang Yuejin opened the package that Jiang Qiao had brought, and he couldn't help but hug the package and shed tears.
Inside were changes of clothes, summer shoes and sandals, some medicine and medicinal wine, a stack of money and tickets, and a bag of roast chicken.
Even your own child wouldn't have considered such details. You know, he helped Gu Zhengkai get a certificate back then, and that child still hasn't forgotten him.
Fang Yuejin felt he could never repay such kindness and affection in his lifetime. If it weren't for Jiang Qiao's intervention, his leg would definitely be crippled.
He took out the shoes Jiang Qiao had prepared for him and put them on. Perfect! He packed up the package and then went out happily. Even if he couldn't be exonerated, so what? Here, at least there were people who cared about him and helped him. Life wasn't so hard. He had the patience to continue waiting.
When Jiang Qiao returned home, she ran into Li Meilan. "Oh dear, tell me about your child. What exactly happened? Why were the rumors outside so bizarre?"
What could Jiang Qiao say? "Oh, don't even mention it. This was really dangerous. Luckily, I'm alright. Otherwise, would you have been able to see me all the time?"
Li Meilan hadn't seen Jiang Qiao for a long time and missed her terribly, so she pulled Jiang Qiao aside and talked with her for a while.
"You wouldn't know if you weren't here. Your aunt's kids come over all the time. This time, Ning Ailin's mother is being nice again. I've never seen such kids. You could understand one or two heartless people, but why are they all like this?"
Jiang Qiao gave a wry smile. "It's probably related to the Wang family's upbringing. Anyway, it's none of our business. The eldest is even older than me. If he really can't stay in that house anymore, he's perfectly capable of taking his younger siblings out to live."
What's my aunt's attitude?
Li Meilan curled her lip and said, "What attitude can you have? They gave birth to us, so whether they're fragrant or smelly, it doesn't really matter."
Besides, the younger one isn't very old either, and there are some things he can't understand. I can understand your aunt's feelings, but unfortunately, given the current situation, it's quite a strain for her to support those children on her own.
Besides, it seems the eldest son is getting married. Don't you think your aunt, as a mother, should prepare something for the child? Even someone like Ning Ailin, who almost left with nothing, seems unlikely to rely on that man and widow.”
Jiang Qiao sighed, "It's a pity. Ning Hao and I have a large family to support. After the baby is born, I'll have two of us. With just our salaries, we really don't have the extra energy."
Sigh, life is what it is, things will get better with time. No one is rich from the start. I had a tough time back then, but I got through it, didn't I?
It all depends on whether you have the heart for it and the drive to live a good life.
"Nobody has it easy. Take you, Auntie, for example. You have three sons, each of whom needs to eat and wear clothes, and each of them needs to get married and start their own families. Honestly, even if you have the heart, you don't have the extra energy to help others."
