Mao Xia also had her own selfish motives; she wanted to sow discord between the father and son and make Zhou Chufei resent Zhou Jian'an.
This way, Mao Xia could exploit the loophole, devise a way to retaliate, and swindle the money back.
Zhou Chufei just laughed self-deprecatingly. He didn't think much of Mao Xia and didn't believe Mao Xia was capable of helping.
“I can deal with Zhou Jian’an on my own. If you had the brains to deal with Zhou Jian’an, you wouldn’t have been swindled out of all your money by him.”
Mao Xia was speechless for a moment after being choked by Zhou Chufei's words.
Qiao Shanshan was preoccupied with trying to please Dai Donglin, so she didn't notice that Qiao Ru had been going out a lot these past few days, always going to the instructor to ask him all sorts of questions.
Qiao Shanshan washed the sheets and wanted to deliver them to Dai Donglin when she saw Qiao Ru coming out from outside.
"Where have you been? I haven't seen you around lately."
Qiao Ru paused for a moment, then subconsciously put her hands behind her back. "I didn't go anywhere. I just wandered around and got familiar with the team's environment."
Qiao Shanshan was somewhat dismissive. "What do you have to be familiar with? I'm a nursing major, and I can stay in the team's medical room. You can't stay, and you'll have to go back to your hometown sooner or later. No matter how familiar you are with the team, it won't help. You might as well pack your things, buy a train ticket, and go back."
Qiao Shanshan didn't mean anything by saying that.
In her previous life, Qiao Shanshan stayed and married the instructor. Qiao Ru's major was not relevant to the job. Besides, the team had already arranged a job for Qiao Shanshan, so it was impossible to arrange one for Qiao Ru. There weren't that many vacant positions in the team.
Before autumn, Qiao Ru took Qiao Zheng's ashes back to her hometown.
Qiao Ru was unlucky; she married a lame old man who had lost one wife and often abused her. Even while pregnant, Qiao Ru was beaten and verbally abused, making her life a chaotic mess.
Qiao Ru also called Qiao Shanshan to complain, wanting to get a divorce and come to Beijing to escape her misery. But Qiao Shanshan's life was not easy either. She and her instructor received meager subsidies and had to support their family. How could they afford to support her younger sister?
Moreover, Qiao Ru has a child. If she brings the child out, it will be a burden on Qiao Shanshan for life.
Qiao Shanshan chose to stand by and watch, and even told her man about Qiao Ru's plan to run away.
Qiao Ru was locked in the house by the man, and afterwards she never dared to bother Qiao Shanshan again.
Qiao Shanshan said these words precisely because she knew Qiao Ru was about to leave, but Qiao Ru heard them in a different way.
Qiao Ru is very protective of Qiao Shanshan. Since Qiao Shanshan likes Dai Donglin, she hates Zhou Chuyu because she thinks Zhou Chuyu is always clinging to Brother Dai.
But the two sisters also had their own little schemes.
Qiao Ru's academic qualifications and professional skills are not as good as Qiao Shanshan's. Although they are both Qiao Zheng's sisters, the team only arranges work for Qiao Shanshan. All the benefits are taken by Qiao Shanshan. Qiao Ru wants to take advantage of the situation to stay in Beijing to work and find a partner, but Qiao Shanshan doesn't mention helping her at all.
They even urged her to go back to her hometown as soon as possible.
If Qiao Ru goes back to her hometown, she can only marry a country man. Qiao's parents died early, and Qiao Zheng became a martyr at a young age. There are still a few dilapidated houses in her hometown. If Qiao Ru goes back, her relatives in her hometown will have no descendants and will not give her those houses and land.
We definitely have to kick her out.
Qiao Ru had no choice but to marry a man in order to survive, but what good men were there in the countryside?
She knew that life would be very difficult for her after she returned to the countryside, but Qiao Shanshan chose to turn a blind eye, which made Qiao Ru uncomfortable.
