Fang Qiao shook her head: "Why would I mind? Tian Tian is a child I raised myself, no different from my own. I'd be more than happy to get her household registration here!"
After the incident in her previous life, she was too busy to take care of herself, so Tian Tian was taken away by her biological father, Su Chen. She thought that even tigers don't eat their cubs, so even if her stepmother treated her badly, her biological father would keep an eye on her and not go too far. Who knew that her biological father was practically nonexistent.
The child had a fever but was ignored and not taken to the doctor, which caused the child to develop encephalitis. By the time the child was finally taken to the hospital, it was too late.
By the time Fang Qiao found out, more than half a month had passed.
She went to Su Chen's house to demand justice for Tian Tian, but Su Chen instructed his mother to beat her with a cleaning cloth and throw her out, saying, "She's my own daughter, whether she lives or dies is none of your business!"
Fang Qiao tried calling the police, but Tian Tian did die of illness. Su Chen was at fault, but not seriously. He was only verbally criticized and educated before being released.
Fang Qiao had no other choice but to resort to violence.
They spent ten yuan to hire two teenage thugs near the school gate, who beat Su Chen so badly he ended up in the hospital.
It may feel good to vent your anger, but the resentment in your heart won't dissipate.
Such a wonderful child, only seven years old when the accident happened, still a budding flower, but he will never have the chance to bloom again.
Thinking of this, Fang Qiao felt a little sad.
Fortunately, she was reborn and Tian Tian was still alive and well by her side. In this life, she would never give Su Chen another chance to get close to Tian Tian.
She sniffed, composed herself, and urged, "If you can get it, get it as soon as possible. Su Chen is no good. The sooner we get it, the sooner we'll feel at ease."
"Okay, I'll go ask the leaders in the logistics department tomorrow and get it done as soon as possible."
Cheng Baidong thought it shouldn't be too difficult. It seemed that the deputy factory director's nephew, who was in junior high school, was registered under his household registration, and his grain rations were all with the factory.
At worst, he can work overtime and submit a few more groundbreaking research papers.
At night, Fang Qiao was preoccupied with something on her mind, her brows furrowed, and she couldn't sleep soundly. Cheng Baidong moved two night-blooming jasmine plants out of his spatial storage.
The fragrance emitted after the night-blooming jasmine blooms can induce deep sleep. It has a remarkable effect on restlessness, insomnia, and excessive dreaming, and has no side effects. Its flowers and roots are the main ingredients of calming incense in the cultivation world.
After Yoru Ando moved to the room, Fang Qiao's brow gradually smoothed out, and her sleeping face became peaceful. Cheng Baidong finally fell asleep with peace of mind.
The next day, Cheng Baidong got up early to go to work, but Fang Qiao, under the influence of the calming incense, slept until she naturally woke up.
When I opened my eyes, it was already bright outside.
She was startled and quickly sat up in bed. She first went to check the crib, but her daughter was no longer there. She guessed that Cheng Baidong or Xiao Jing had taken her out.
Fang Qiao then looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was five minutes to eight o'clock.
Around May Day, the days get longer and the nights get shorter. It starts to get light as early as 5:30 in the morning, and the sun is already high in the sky by 8:00.
Fang Qiao put on her clothes, sat down at the table, picked up a comb to comb her hair, and felt a chill at her feet. She looked down and discovered two unfamiliar climbing vines under the table.
She casually tied her hair up and squatted down to take a look.
Fang Qiao's hard work over the past two weeks has paid off. She immediately recognized the two climbing vines as night-blooming jasmine, guessing that Cheng Baidong had moved them out of his space because he thought she wasn't sleeping well at night.
Since Yo Ando didn't exist in reality, Fang Qiao threw them back into the space.
Fang Qiao came out of the inner room and fetched water to wash her face.
Just as Xiao Jing finished washing her face, she came in from outside the door carrying An An, with Chen Guizhi following behind her.
"Sister-in-law, you're up," Xiaojing said. "Breakfast is in the pot, don't forget to eat it after you wash your face."
Chen Guizhi joked with a smile: "Xiao Qiao, you slept until the sun was high in the sky before getting up. Bai Dong bought breakfast for you from the canteen, and Xiao Jing helped take care of the child. No one in the entire residential compound enjoys such a life as you."
At this point, 'enjoying life' is not a good word, but rather a synonym for laziness.
When people talk about whose wife is "especially blessed," their tone is always sour and sarcastic.
Once a person is labeled with this tag, it's very difficult to remove it, and it will inevitably be brought up for discussion by others.
Although Fang Qiao didn't care about other people's gossip, hearing it too much still made her feel uncomfortable.
It was only because she had become too familiar with Chen Guizhi that she knew she meant no harm; otherwise, Fang Qiao would have definitely turned against her. But even so, Fang Qiao managed to turn the tables on her.
She said half-jokingly, "My husband Baidong dotes on me, and Xiaojing spoils me too. Such a good partner and a good sister-in-law are hard to find for anyone else, but I got them. So it's my turn to enjoy life."
"If you ask me, being busy is one way to live a lifetime, and being leisurely is another. It's not like you have to work yourself to the bone every day to live a good life."
Chen Guizhi felt as if an arrow had pierced her chest.
"Oh my, don't even mention it! I'm so envious of how wonderful your life is. I'm just that kind of old ox you're talking about, working myself to the bone every day, getting nothing but a title of 'capable'!" Chen Guizhi sighed. "I really want to switch places with you."
"Then I won't switch with you," Fang Qiao teased. "I don't want to be a workhorse."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Fang Qiao looked at the girl's dress in her hand and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with this dress?"
"It's torn!" Chen Guizhi sighed. "I've had three sons, none of them are easy to deal with, and my only daughter isn't well-behaved either. Look, she wore her new dress, which I just made this year, to climb trees. I don't know what she was thinking. She hasn't even worn it for half a month, and it got a big tear from a branch. Your Xiaojing is good at sewing, I'll ask her to help me mend it."
