Qin Huai was taken aback again when he heard her say that.
Although she didn't know what Qiao Qiqi had seen, thinking back, Su Limin had indeed stopped her before.
But he immediately shook his head, "Really, no. Although she gave me things a few times before, I never accepted them. I never thought she had any other feelings for me."
As he spoke, Qin Huai suddenly shouted from behind the big tree, "Zhang Qing, come out and be my witness."
Zhang Qing, who had originally wanted to eavesdrop, was forced to come out and met Qiao Qiqi's warning gaze. He quickly said, "Sister-in-law, what my brother Qin said is true. He really has never accepted anything from Su Limin. Brother Qin is naturally averse to owing favors, and he would never accept anything from others without a reason."
These words struck a chord with Qiao Qiqi.
Compared to Hou Yan before, who said he didn't like her but accepted everything she gave him, and even when Qiao Qiqi was going through her memories, she found that Hou Yan often deliberately revealed what she needed to the original owner.
Only someone as naive as the original owner would believe it and rush to send it over, only to be secretly disliked.
The thought of Hou Yan made Qiao Qiqi feel unlucky!
Fortunately, she has now severed all ties with that scumbag.
Although she felt better inside, Qiao Qiqi still had a stern face and questioned, "If you hadn't given her a chance, would she have kept pestering you? So in the end, it's because you weren't firm enough."
Qin Huai frowned deeply.
He was not a good talker to begin with, and faced with Qiao Qiqi's questioning, he didn't know how to defend himself, so he just kept saying no.
Seeing that Qiao Qiqi still had a stern face, he suddenly raised his hand, "If I have given Su Limin any chance, may I be struck by lightning... Ugh!"
Qiao Qiqi suddenly raised her hand and covered the man's mouth.
Seeing Qin Huai's foolishness, unable to even explain himself and resorting to swearing oaths to convince himself, he was speechless.
"Fine, I'll believe you this time, but if she bothers you again in the future, you must leave immediately and not waste your time talking nonsense with her like this time."
A deep glint flashed across Qin Huai's eyes. "Alright."
Standing to the side, Zhang Qing felt quite radiant.
Finally seeing Qiao Qiqi lower her hand, Zhang Qing mustered his courage and stepped forward, "Sister-in-law, my apple..."
Qiao Qiqi turned her head to look, her face immediately turning cold. "No!"
Zhang Qing was stunned for a moment.
Subconsciously assuming that Qiao Qiqi had forgotten to buy it for him, he immediately smiled and said, "It's okay, if you forgot, you forgot. I can buy it myself in a few days."
Qiao Qiqi said coldly, "I haven't forgotten. What I mean is, I suddenly don't want to give it to you anymore."
"Huh?" Zhang Qing was a little confused. "Why?"
"Don't you understand why? When you saw a woman bothering your brother Qin, not only did you not stop her, you even deliberately walked away to give them time alone? And you still want to eat the apples I bought? Go eat shit!"
Qiao Qiqi felt that Zhang Qing's behavior was even worse than Qin Huai's. He had eaten several of her apples and pears before, and yet he did something so deserving of a beating.
He still wants to eat his own apple? Dream on!
After being scolded, Zhang Qing realized that Qiao Qiqi was angry and quickly begged for forgiveness.
"Sister-in-law, I was wrong. I promise it won't happen again."
"Fine, then you can eat the apple next time!" Qiao Qiqi showed no mercy.
Zhang Qing could only look to Qin Huai for help, "Brother Qin, please talk to my wife for me. I really know I was wrong, and I promise I won't do it again next time."
Qin Huai glanced at Qiao Qiqi.
The latter immediately gave him a warning look.
Realizing that he was in dire straits himself, Qin Huai immediately looked away and gave Zhang Qing a look that said, "I'm also in dire straits and there's nothing I can do."
Zhang Qing almost cried.
His big apple!
The two sorted the fish from the riverbank and carried them back home.
Zhang Qing glanced at Qiao Qiqi several times, hesitating to speak for a long time, but didn't say anything.
With the intersection just ahead, Qin Huai's house was to the left and Zhang Qing's house was to the right. If they didn't speak up soon, it would be too late. Zhang Qing finally gritted his teeth.
Before he could even speak, Qiao Qiqi suddenly interrupted, "You really know you were wrong?"
Zhang Qing's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded vigorously, "I know, I know, I promise there will never be a next time!"
Qiao Qiqi snorted coldly, which meant she believed Zhang Qing's words.
"Fine, I'll believe you this time. Remember what you said, keep a close eye on your Brother Qin from now on. If there's a next time, you'll never eat my food again! Dream on!"
Zhang Qing thought this sister-in-law was really fierce!
But seeing Qin Ge, who usually had a cold face, now looking down and not daring to speak, she found it somewhat amusing. "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, sister-in-law. I'll definitely keep an eye on Qin Ge for you from now on."
Qiao Qiqi received a satisfactory answer, and only then did she let Zhang Qing follow.
When she got home, she opened a bag of apples that had been packed on the floor, added a bunch of grapes, and handed it to Zhang Qing, saying, "Here you go."
Zhang Qing was surprised to see there were still grapes. "How come there are still grapes?"
Qiao Qiqi: "Here's your service fee."
Zhang Qing immediately understood, gave his brother Qin a teasing look, quickly thanked Qiao Qiqi, picked up the bag and left.
As soon as he left, Qiao Qiqi went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
She gave the braised pork and chicken stew with mushrooms that she bought at the state-run restaurant to Qiao Tianyou and Qin Guodong. Today's lunch was twice-cooked pork and eggplant with soy sauce, which she made herself.
The eggplants I grew in my own garden were tender and fragrant. Before I left the country, I mashed them with a shovel and mixed them into my rice. One bite and they were so delicious!
Before she knew it, Qiao Qiqi had eaten two bowls of rice.
I ate too much again!
After the meal, Qin Huai obediently went to wash the dishes.
Qiao Qiqi glanced at him, but because she was still angry about Su Limin, she deliberately didn't say a word to Qin Huai while eating.
Although she knew that Qin Huai would never like Su Limin.
But she wouldn't let him off easily for the lesson he deserved.
Of course, Qiao Qiqi knew even better that this was mainly due to Su Limin.
Thinking of this, Qiao Qiqi jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed), picked out two fish weighing about two pounds each from the fish Qin Huai had caught, and carried them out the door.
Following my memory, I arrived at Su Shangjin's house and saw him standing in the yard rinsing his mouth after finishing his meal.
Qiao Qiqi immediately pushed open the door and went in. "Uncle Su, my son Qin Huai went to the river this morning and caught a lot of fish. I picked out two to bring to you so you can have a taste."
Su Shangjin was slightly taken aback.
It should be noted that although he had a good relationship with Qiao Weiguo, he had no contact with Qiao Qiqi.
However, the time a couple of days ago, when Qiao Qiqi took Lu Xiufen to the commune brigade to sever ties, made him look at his niece with new respect.
Seeing Qiao Qiqi giving him a gift, he quickly refused, saying, "You two have just gotten married, life isn't easy for you, keep it for yourselves, hurry up..."
"Actually, I'm here to ask you for a favor. If you don't accept this fish, then I dare not say anything more."
