"My wife's hands are used to wield a scalpel to save lives. They are more precious than all of you combined. Do you think you, such worthless people, are worthy of her doing the laundry and cooking for you? What? Are the Qiao family's ancestors really worried about this? Aren't you afraid of shortening your lifespans in the future?"
Qiao's father, who had always been a cold-eyed bystander, scolded, "Qiao Rui, is this how you talk to Mom? Just because you're an official and capable, you dare to call the shots at home, right?"
Mother Qiao was much more excited. "What a wicked creature! Worse than pigs and dogs, why did I give birth to you? I might as well have thrown you into the urine bucket and drowned you..."
"Yeah, you only care about giving birth but not raising me. I'm unlucky to have you two parents. Don't worry, since you don't want me, I'll ask the village chief to adopt me out. You can just pretend you never gave birth to me. Are you satisfied?"
He hadn't been home for several years, and his family didn't seem to be warm at all. He didn't even have a glass of water to drink, and he was first treated with a cold shoulder.
That's fine, he's used to being treated like this, but his wife has done nothing wrong, so why should she be the one to suffer the consequences and be humiliated by a group of people who are far inferior to her in both ability and character?
He was completely disappointed with the Qiao family. In order to completely break away from this family, he even changed the surnames of his two children.
Of course, Qiao's father was unwilling, but it was useless. He still said, "If you don't agree, go ahead and make a scene. Even if you lose my job, that's fine. Anyway, my wife has a high salary and can support the family. I can just pack up and become a son-in-law of the He family."
If the registered name could be changed, he would really like to take his wife's surname.
Reputation can be used to suppress others, but for someone like Qiao Rui, who always talks about marrying into another's family, changing his surname, and treating reputation like shit, it is impossible to control him at all.
The man Qiao Rui adopted fought against the Japanese in his early years and died young, but after all, his surname was Qiao, and most of the villagers were from the same clan. For the sake of future face, they all helped Qiao Rui to keep a close eye on his family and would not easily give out letters of introduction.
The Qiao family was trapped in the village and couldn't move. Everyone laughed at them for pushing their blessings away and no one wanted to pay attention to them. They could only complain at home.
From then on, my second sister and her husband never returned to the Qiao family again, and they always went back to the He family for the New Year reunion.
Their children have long since changed their way of addressing them and now call He Dagen and Zhao Meiya grandpa and grandma.
Zhao Meiya muttered unwillingly, "Your second sister isn't busy, and she doesn't come home. Is she missing food or drink at home? During the Chinese New Year, I thought it was a rare opportunity for us to see each other, so I almost put her on the table as a sacrifice, but she still wasn't satisfied."
"You don't know my second sister yet. Of course she won't come back unless her brother-in-law comes back."
"Humph, who wants to see her? I just miss the two little ones."
"They are only a few years old. Adults will definitely be worried if they go out alone. Mom, if you want grandchildren, let your third brother accompany you on the train to see them."
The old lady quickly shook her head and said, "Forget it, I can't bear to leave my old daughter."
There is affection, but not much.
