This time, only the elderly couple brought Zhou Tian. Zhou Tianyu and Tian Yu finally became a couple. Because the two of them were busy with work, as were the other children, Jiang Qiao still didn't know the other children in the Zhou family.
Upon seeing Jiang Qiao, Zhou Tian couldn't help but rush over. "Sister-in-law, can I call you that now? Haha, you're finally my sister-in-law! Cousin, how do you feel now? Aren't you feeling much more at ease now, without having to worry anymore?"
"Sister-in-law, let me tell you, my cousin went through a lot to marry you, so you'd better treat him well from now on."
Jiang Qiao smiled and took Zhou Tian's hand. "Your cousin will definitely be happy to hear this. It's not easy for someone to care about him and protect him. Just because of what you said, if there's anything in the future and it's inconvenient to ask your parents or brother, you can ask me, your cousin's wife."
Zhou Tian looked at Jiang Qiao seriously and said, "Sister-in-law, we've made a deal. From now on, I'm entrusting my health to you. If I get sick or in pain, you'll be responsible for treating me. I trust you."
Jiang Qiao ruffled Zhou Tian's hair. "Your sister-in-law keeps her word. Uncle, Aunt, shall we set off now?"
Zhou Baorui nodded in satisfaction as he looked at Jiang Qiao. His nephew had good taste; this nephew's wife was not only beautiful but also exceptionally capable. If his sister saw this daughter-in-law, she would definitely be satisfied as well.
"Alright, let's go then—"
On the way, Ning Hao told Jiang Qiao that the house he had just seen was left to him by his mother.
"My goodness, my mother-in-law is so smart?"
Ning Hao sighed, "My mother was originally a smart person, but she met my father by accident. Even smart people can make mistakes when it comes to love. Perhaps God couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to take away her intelligence."
"Sigh, the most regrettable thing is my mother. She was a victim of marriage. I don't even know how much Ning Boyuan still remembers about her; he's probably long forgotten her."
Jiang Qiao sighed inwardly and took Ning Hao's arm. There were some things she couldn't say to Ning Hao. Her mother-in-law was a woman with a child. Men and women think differently. The reason she chose to ignore and deal with it coldly was because she hoped to give her child a complete family. But if she said these things, she didn't want to add to Ning Hao's burden.
"I have to admire Mom's intelligence; you must have inherited that same cleverness from her—"
Ning Hao said with some pride, "That's right. No matter how much Tong Yun tries to stop me, I will still get into university when it's my turn. I'm not bragging. In this respect, I definitely take after my mother, unlike Ning Boyuan."
That's for sure. Ning Boyuan's other children aren't as successful; none of them have even gotten into university yet.
Jinglan watched the young couple interact, and exchanged a gratified glance with her husband.
"If my sister is watching from heaven, she will be happy that Haozi has someone to take care of him in the future."
Zhou Baorui nodded, but what he said was heartbreaking: "I wish my sister could see the happiness of the two children with her own eyes. It's a pity that she was so beautiful but had such a tragic fate, meeting such a beast and not getting a good ending."
I hope these two children will live peacefully and safely in the future, and live out my sister's share of life, and even live a more wonderful one.
"It's just that my sister arrived at the wrong time; otherwise, if it were today, she would definitely be a prominent figure."
Jinglan had to admire her. At such a young age, she was able to think of finding a family for herself, build a family business for her child, and keep the man's side completely in the dark. This sister-in-law was indeed remarkable.
Unfortunately, no matter how clever one is, once the person is gone, like fleeting clouds and fragile glass, all that remains is sorrow and lamentation for future generations.
The graves of Zhou Ningxiang and her daughter have been repaired by Zhou Baorui, and the younger sister's wet nurse and her family are helping to take care of them. There isn't even a weed on the grave mounds.
After the group paid their respects, Ning Hao took Jiang Qiao to visit her maternal uncle's family, and then the group had a meal together.
Before leaving, Jinglan gave Jiang Qiao a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets.
"I don't have anything good to give you. This is something your uncle brought from the Zhou family. He said it was part of his grandmother's dowry. Keep it as a souvenir."
Jiang Qiao glanced at Ning Hao, and seeing him nod, she accepted the gift. "Auntie, I also brought you a gift. My mom brought it back from the north. You should eat more of it; it's snow frog oil—"
Jinglan really couldn't refuse this; it was just too tempting. She knew what it was used for, but unfortunately, it wasn't easy to buy. More importantly, she also knew how old she had become in the past few years.
"Hehe, you're such a thoughtful child. How did you know that your aunt really likes this thing? It's not that I haven't thought about buying it, but I just couldn't find it. This time I'm benefiting from your help, so your aunt won't be polite with you."
Zhou Tian jumped up and down, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, what about me? Do I get a gift?"
Jiang Qiao turned around with a smile, "Of course I have one! How could I forget my sister-in-law? Come with me—"
Jiang Qiao did prepare gifts for the Zhou family. Without a proper mother-in-law, there was only this uncle left. Apart from Ning Zhengtao and his wife, this was the only family Ning Hao was willing to be close to.
Therefore, Jiang Qiao was willing to interact with them more. After all, human relationships are reciprocal, and over time, they would naturally become closer. As the saying goes, "A mother's brother is the most important person in her family," and she was willing to treat this elder as her own elder and be filial to him.
Upon learning that Jiang Qiao had things to take care of when she returned home, and that Zhou Baorui also had work to do, neither of them were the type to dawdle. They gave their nephew a few words of advice, telling Jiang Qiao and the others to visit their home when they had time. The family parted ways at the train station.
Ning Hao was worried that his parents-in-law would be anxious, so the couple had taken leave to come back. They had limited time, and he wanted Jiang Qiao to stay with her parents and younger brother for a couple more days.
In addition, although Lone Wolf has captured the person, there are still others behind him, and they don't know what will happen next. Jiang Qiao may not say it, but she must be anxious. If that person is going to harm her, they need to make plans as soon as possible.
Jiang Qiao had just gotten off the train and was getting ready to go back to the countryside with Ning Hao when Chen Fang arrived.
Judging from the way this guy is smiling, it's obviously not going to be anything good.
"Alright, just by looking at you, I know you're up to no good. You've come looking for Jiang Qiao, haven't you?"
Chen Fangchong gave Ning Hao a thumbs up, "Amazing, you could guess it without me even having to say it."
Young comrade, I'll borrow Jiang Qiao for now, you go ahead with your work.
Jiang Qiao stopped what she was doing and asked, "What's going on? Another mission?"
Chen Fang sighed, "It is a mission, but we didn't assign it to you. Lone Wolf wants to see you; otherwise, he won't speak."
"Lone Wolf wants to see me? Are you kidding me? Do you know how many lives I have to kill with him?"
