Knowing that Fang Lu's matter would not affect the child, Fang Qiao completely put him out of her mind.
She had no intention of informing her family.
It's true that her child is her weakness, but she can't let her family control her weakness. She can't let her family think, "No matter what mistakes I make, someone will always be there to cover for me." Humans are a greedy species, and greed can grow bigger and bigger, endlessly. At that time, it will be a huge disaster for her and her family.
These people are all out of their minds; directly or indirectly, they are all accomplices in aiding and abetting evil.
It's time to teach them a lesson, otherwise who knows how spoiled they'll become.
They're in such a hurry! They deserve it.
The next day was a workday, and early in the morning Cheng Baidong took Little Zhuque and White Tiger Cub to the research institute. White Tiger Cub was now an "employee" who ate rations, just like Little Zhuque, and he also received an extra ten catties of meat coupons every month. His meals were excellent.
This made Little Vermilion Bird extremely jealous.
Why should this stinky tiger get to eat meat just by wagging its tail without doing anything? Why should it have to go and hunt on Heshan Mountain all by itself? That's not fair!
The little Vermilion Bird's strong protest was effective; it soon received meat tickets, just like the white tiger cub, ten catties per month.
This morning, Little Zhuque handed over five jin to Fang Qiao. The first thing she said was, "We'll share half when we meet." The second thing she said was, "Pretty sister, I want to eat pickled cabbage and boiled pork for lunch. I want you to make it yourself."
He's such a little rascal!
Of course, the little Vermilion Bird is also adorable when it flutters its wings and acts mischievous. So, Fang Qiao naturally indulges it!
After entrusting the task of buying meat to Xiaojing, Fang Qiao took the children out to work as usual.
Upon arriving at the nursery, Fang Qiao entrusted the children to Wang Yun, asking her to lead the children in playing on the swings in the yard, while she and Qi Miao busied themselves in the kitchen.
For lunch, we had steamed buns filled with red bean paste. The dough was made with beetroot juice, and after fermentation, it was soft and fluffy. The steamed buns were a vibrant red color, dotted with plump red beans, making them incredibly appetizing. Most importantly, they tasted sweet, and even the pickiest kids loved them.
After tasting it, Qi Miao also liked the flavor and praised Fang Qiao for her skillful hands.
Looking at the beautiful steamed buns, Fang Qiao naturally felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Fang Qiao accepted Qi Miao's praise without question, a proud smile spreading across her face.
The unpleasant news arrived at this time, as if it were deliberately sent to spoil the mood.
"Teacher Fang, your family is looking for you outside the residential compound."
Upon hearing this, Fang Qiao's upturned lips instantly drooped, and she quickly covered it up.
She was dissatisfied with her family, but she had no problem with her sister-in-law in the family compound who kindly relayed messages; she couldn't show her displeasure to her even if she was unhappy.
"I understand." Fang Qiao responded first, then walked out of the kitchen and politely said to the person who came, "Thank you for coming to call me, sister-in-law."
As she spoke, she slipped a small handful of sunflower seeds into the hand of her sister-in-law who was relaying the message: "Try some, these are sunflower seeds I roasted myself, they're spiced."
"It's no trouble at all, it's just on the way. Look at you, you even offered me some melon seeds." Who doesn't love someone who speaks kindly and generously? The woman who came to deliver the message smiled broadly, her eyes crinkling at the sight of the melon seeds in her hand.
Fang Qiao smiled and said, "The sunflowers I planted in my own yard are just a small plot of land. The sunflower seeds I harvested yielded five or six pounds. They're nothing valuable, so please don't be shy, sister-in-law."
The sister-in-law then put it away and said goodbye to Fang Qiao.
After watching the person leave, Fang Qiao returned to the kitchen. As she untied her apron, she said to Qi Miao, "Miao Miao, I have to go out for a bit. You can keep an eye on the kitchen for now."
Qi Miao smiled and agreed.
Fang Qiao hung her apron on the hook behind the door, patted the flour off her clothes, and walked towards the gate of the family compound.
She thought her mother would come alone today, perhaps with her older brother Fang Hai, but to her surprise, her father, mother, and older sister Fang Xue all came instead.
Fang Qiao was quite surprised.
Her father, Fang Yaozu, was quite adept at being a hands-off manager.
He never voices his opinions at home. If you ask him anything, he just says "whatever," "anything is fine," or "I have no opinion." Compared to his mother, who is always running around and making a fuss, he is practically invisible in the family.
But is that really the case?
No.
He may seem like an invisible man, but in reality, he's the one who makes all the decisions behind the scenes. His mother, Yang Fengxia, may seem to be in charge, but in fact, she's the one who's carrying out his will.
Her mother got all the bad guys, and he just hid behind her and reaped the benefits.
For example, right now.
Her mother, Yang Fengxia, and her older sister, Fang Xue, each blocked Xiao Jing's path, while the other grabbed Xiao Jing's arm, their expressions fierce and unreasonable. Meanwhile, her father, Fang Yaozu, squatted to the side, smoking a pipe, seemingly unconcerned.
"Don't ask me anymore, I really don't know." Xiao Jing was so anxious she was almost crying, and the vegetable basket she was carrying was about to tip over.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? If you have something to say, say it. Why are you pulling and tugging at me?" Fang Qiao stepped forward and grabbed Fang Xue's wrist, which was holding Xiao Jing's arm.
"Sister-in-law!" Xiao Jing saw Fang Qiao as if she had seen Sun Wukong, the savior who had descended from the sky. She took the opportunity to break free from Fang Xue's grasp and hid behind Fang Qiao.
Fang Qiao patted her hand reassuringly and said, "You go home first, I'll take care of things here."
Xiao Jing hesitated for a moment, then shook her head: "Sister-in-law, I'll go with you."
