Chapter 466 Shocking News (Page 1/2)
Lin Man asked her eldest son to look after the two little ones sitting on the bed, then opened the door and walked out. Seeing Song Jingjing coming over with her son in her arms, she wondered if she had come here for something.
Before Huo Qingyan was not at home, she basically would not come to their house unless it was something important. During the Chinese New Year or grandfather’s birthday, she would only come when her mother-in-law called her.
Huo Qingyan has only been back for a few days, and she has already come here twice.
Lin Man couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sister-in-law, why are you free again today?"
"Sister-in-law, Qingyan is on vacation these days, so I'll take a few days off with you."
"Then bring the child in to enjoy the fan!"
Song Jingjing carried her son into the room, helped him take off his sandals, and placed them on Lin Man's bed.
Lin Man and Huo Qingci rarely slept on this bed. At night, they usually slept in the space with a straw mat on the bed, and let the children sleep on it during their nap.
Huo Yixin and Huo Yiwen, brother and sister, were still teething, so Lin Man gave each of them a teething biscuit to chew slowly on the bed.
Huo Yichen looked at the biscuits in the twins' hands and wanted one too. Lin Man gave him one, but he couldn't bite it open after taking a bite, so he stuffed the teether into Song Jingjing's mouth.
Song Jingjing looked at Lin Man awkwardly. "It's hot, and the little one doesn't really like cookies. Sister-in-law, where did you buy these cookies? Why are they so hard?"
"Qingci bought this for Xinxin to grind her teeth so she doesn't bite."
The two little guys had itchy teeth and several of their pacifiers were about to break. Lin Man was afraid that they would always bite their fingers, so she used the oven in her space to make a lot of teething biscuits for them.
It still has a fruity flavor. Although it tastes nice, it is indeed difficult to chew. For the picky eater Huo Yichen, he may really not like it.
Lin Man instructed Huo Yining, "Ningning, go to the kitchen and wash a peach for brother Chenchen."
Huo Yian came over and said, "Mom, I want to eat strawberries."
"If you want to eat them, ask your brother to take you to the backyard and pick all the ripe ones."
Huo Yian happily ran away with Huo Yining. Song Jingjing was very curious, "Sister-in-law, did you plant strawberries in the backyard?"
"Well, there are many children at home, so I planted dozens of strawberry trees for them in the corner of the backyard."
Although there are dozens of strawberry trees planted outside, not many strawberries ripen every day. Every time the children finish picking them, Lin Man will secretly ripen the green strawberries slowly so that they can continue picking them the next afternoon.
Sometimes when there are not enough strawberries, just take some out from the space. Just avoid Xiao Hua. Anyway, grandpa knows that Huo Qingci has a space, and he won’t say anything if he sees it.
Song Jingjing thought that although her grandfather's house was a little shabby, it at least had a small yard. Although she couldn't grow vegetables there, she could probably grow a few dozen strawberries for fun.
The corridor of her house is very wide, so she could put some flower pots and plant strawberries on the balcony, but she is afraid that they will be stolen by passers-by. The strawberries will not grow big if she grows them in the living room. It would be better if she lived in a courtyard house.
Next time I go back, I will ask my parents to buy some flower pots and plant some strawberries for her son Chenchen, so that her son can have free strawberries next year.
"Sister-in-law, where did you get those strawberry seedlings?"
"Oh, Qingci got it from his friend. Later we divided it ourselves, and one plant became three, so we have dozens of strawberry plants now."
"Sister-in-law, can you give me two? I also want to plant a few for Chenchen."
"Do you have flower pots and soil at home?"
"No, I'm going to buy some pots and soil tomorrow. I'm going to plant the strawberries under the window. Once they're growing, I'll give them to my parents."

Lin Man felt that Song Jingjing was a little naive. How many fruits could two strawberry trees produce? They were still being kept at her mother's house, so she probably wouldn't be able to eat any fruit next year.
The fruit produced by new strawberry plants split from old strawberry stumps is not as large as the fruit produced by newly cultivated seedlings. Lin Man usually cultivates new seedlings every year. After all, she has special abilities, and if she doesn't stimulate them to grow, she will have no use for them. It's okay to just give her a few more old seedlings.
After a brief thought, Lin Man said softly, "Since you've decided to plant strawberries, I'll help you dig a few more."
When Song Jingjing heard this, she was overjoyed and cheered excitedly: "Thank you, sister-in-law!"
Lin Man smiled and responded, "No need to be so polite!"
Then, as if she suddenly remembered something important, Song Jingjing said, "Sister-in-law, I came here today specifically to tell you the shocking news about Yu Guang."
Lin Man couldn't help but be slightly startled, thinking to herself: It really is true that no one comes to visit for no reason! Song Jingjing rarely visits me on her own initiative, but today she did so out of character. The news she brought must be something very important.
She had just returned to her parents' home yesterday. Could it be that she was going to discuss matters related to the Qiao family? Could it be that Old Master Qiao was gone, or that her biological father had been brought down?
Full of doubts, Lin Man calmly asked, "What news do you want to tell me?"
Song Jingjing took a deep breath and slowly uttered a few words: "Sister-in-law, Qiao Sitian passed away."
In an instant, Lin Man stood there in shock as if struck by a bolt from the blue, her mind going blank.
The always arrogant eldest daughter of the Qiao family actually passed away just like that? This is truly unbelievable!
Although Lin Man was very surprised, there was no expression on her face.
Song Jingjing, who was standing by, was puzzled when she saw Lin Man's unresponsive look.
After all, Qiao Sitian usurped the position of the eldest daughter of the Qiao family that originally belonged to Lin Man.
According to common sense, Lin Man should have been touched when she learned of Qiao Sitian's death, but at this moment she was as motionless as a sculpture, which was really puzzling.
"Sister-in-law, don't you have anything to ask?"
Lin Man seemed a little surprised, "You want to ask why I didn't ask about the cause of her death, right?"
Song Jingjing nodded. "Aren't you curious about why she died at such a young age?"
Lin Man said nonchalantly, "He died young, either from illness or an accident."
Song Jingjing shook her head, "No, she was arrested for a crime and died from eating peanuts."
Qiao Sitian was executed for a crime? In this day and age, if someone is caught stealing a few dollars, they might be shot. Lin Man is very curious about what crime Qiao Sitian committed.
"What crime did she commit?"
"She stole someone else's son from the hospital, and then brought him back to the Wang family and said he was her son."
Lin Man felt that Qiao Sitian was a little crazy and she might really be able to do this.
"Didn't the Wang family know she had no children? How could she have the guts to steal a child and claim it was her own?"
"Sister-in-law, how do you know she doesn't have children? She faked the pregnancy at first and deliberately told her man that she was pregnant.
Later, I don’t know how she got into a fight with her adoptive mother and beat her into the hospital. Then she ran away and has been hiding outside.
When her due date was approaching, she went to the hospital and stole a baby boy, brought him back to the Wang family and claimed he was her own child.
