When Shen Shufen heard what Xu Jiao said, she became even more furious.
She stepped forward, pointed at Xu Jiao's nose and cursed: "You fool! You are still protecting your mother's family! You have to go whether you want to or not. This matter must be resolved today."
Xu Jiao was not to be outdone. She widened her eyes and retorted, "Why should I go? My mother wouldn't lie to me. You just can't stand me helping my mother's family."
Qin Zhiyuan was caught in a dilemma and he pulled Xu Jiao's arm.
He advised softly, "Jiaojiao, why don't we go there? It happens that I haven't seen your parents for a while."
Xu Jiao shook off Qin Zhiyuan's hand and shouted angrily: "Qin Zhiyuan, where are you standing? You are also bullying me with your mother!"
Qin Baojie stamped his feet anxiously, "Mom, just listen to grandma, can't we find out what happened?"
Xu Jiao glared at Qin Baojie fiercely, "What does a child know? This is an adult matter."
Shen Shufen was so angry that her face turned red, and she tightened the rolling pin in her hand again and again. She really wanted to beat up this idiot Xu Jiao!
Qin Weiguo saw this and quickly grabbed Shen Shufen, then stepped forward to persuade her: "Jiaojiao, just think of this as making plans for Abao in advance. If you really wait until you are satisfied with the couple before asking for the money back, it will take time. It just so happens that you have two days off, so just think of it as going back to your parents' home to visit."
Qin Baojie pulled Xu Jiao's sleeve and said softly, "Mom, I'll go back with you to see grandpa and grandma. I haven't seen them for a long time."
Xu Jiao glanced at Qin Baojie, bit her lip, and remained silent for a moment.
Finally, he nodded and said unhappily, "Go if you want to. I don't believe my mother would lie to me!"
Then, Xu Jiao said to Qin Baojie: "The bicycle can only take one of you and your father. Who of you will go with me?"
Qin Baojie said hurriedly: "Sister has a bicycle, I will borrow it from her right now! Dad and I will go with you!"
Xu Jiao then stood up and walked outside, saying angrily as she walked, "Okay then, we won't eat at home. I'll take Zhiyuan and Abao back to my parents' house for lunch!"
Qin Zhiyuan hurried to catch up with Xu Jiao.
Qin Baojie went into the house to borrow a bicycle from Su Wantang.
He pushed open the door, walked to the bed, and whispered, "Sister, can you lend me your bicycle?"
Su Wantang was sleeping soundly. When he heard the noise, he just uttered "hmm" in a daze as a response, and then continued to sleep.
Just like that, Xu Jiao took Qin Zhiyuan and Qin Baojie out.
She pedaled the bike hard, her face full of anger.
Xu Jiao first took them to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things to take back to her parents' home.
But when she had chosen the things and was ready to pay, she found that she only had a few tickets left and no money in her pocket.
Xu Jiao frowned and turned to ask Qin Zhiyuan: "Do you have money?"
Qin Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, touched his pocket, and turned it out to show Xu Jiao.
Empty.
Qin Zhiyuan said helplessly: "I gave you all my salary after I got it. This month's salary hasn't been paid yet."
This is indeed true.
Moreover, when they went home for the holiday just now, they also went to the supply and marketing cooperative, and she used the little money she had left to buy vegetables and other food.
Now they are both penniless.
Xu Jiao had no choice but to turn her gaze to Qin Baojie.
She smiled and asked Qin Baojie: "Abao, do you have money?"
Qin Baojie had given all his savings to Su Wantang for tuition. He shook his head and said, "Mom, I don't have any money either!"
Xu Jiao put the selected malted milk back on the shelf with a speechless look on her face, and then stormed out of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Qin Zhiyuan and Qin Baojie had no choice but to follow quickly.
As soon as Xu Jiao came out, she pointed at Qin Zhiyuan and asked, "What do you think we should do? We are a family, we can't go to my mother's house empty-handed, right?"
Qin Zhiyuan said helplessly: "But we are really penniless now."
Qin Baojie said, "Mom, you used to buy a lot of things for them when you went back home. If you don't bring anything back this time, grandpa and grandma will definitely not mind."
Qin Zhiyuan also agreed, "Yes, you just went back last month and made new clothes for your parents. We haven't received our salary yet and we really have no money. I believe they will understand."
Xu Jiao had just had an argument with Shen Shufen, so she would definitely feel embarrassed to ask her for money at this moment.
She had no choice but to hold her breath and set out on the journey back to her mother's home with Qin Zhiyuan and Qin Baojie.
The family rode their bicycles and soon arrived at Xu Jiao's parents' home.
Xu Jiao took Qin Zhiyuan and Qin Baojie directly into the yard and parked their bicycles.
At this time, Xu Jiao's family members were sitting around the table eating lunch, laughing and talking.
Xu Jiao shouted happily at the door: "Dad, Mom, I'm back with Zhiyuan and Abao to see you!"
Hearing the sound, Xu Jiao's mother Li Sanmei and her father Xu Haijiang hurriedly looked outside the house.
Xu Jiao just walked into the house, followed by Qin Zhiyuan and Qin Baojie.
When she saw Xu Jiao, Li Sanmei's face was filled with a smile.
But when she saw clearly that the family of three came empty-handed, Li Sanmei's expression suddenly became a little unnatural.
Xu Jiao looked at her family members sitting around eating and said happily, "Dad, Mom, we haven't had lunch yet. It just so happens that you are eating too. Give us three pairs of chopsticks and three bowls. We can just eat whatever we want!"
Xu Jiao's sister-in-law grumbled, "The amount is calculated. How can it be enough for you to come with your family?"
