Chapter 12: Say What You Can and Can’t Say



"But my dad didn't buy it, and my grandmother also said that girls don't deserve to eat meat."

Qiao Xinyi sighed, "Aunt, I also think I was a little greedy. I'm a girl, and on the way back home I was still thinking about eating meat. I shouldn't have done that."

Aunt Zhang Hua was stunned.

Qiao Xinyi spoke quite loudly. Many neighbors were cooking in the corridor, and their doors were open. The neighbors next to them could hear her, and those who were eating stood at the door with their bowls in hand to watch the fun.

Someone asked, "Qiao's eldest daughter, you have never eaten a bite of meat or even had soup in your life?"

"No, a girl can't touch these precious things." Qiao Xinyi shook her head.

Then, as if he had just realized that there were so many people gathered around, he hurriedly said, "Why are you all gathered here? Go back to your rooms quickly. With so many people gathered around, the meat will smell bad!"

"What?" Everyone seemed to understand what was said, but also seemed not to understand.

"My parents in the village were cooking meat at home one time. I was so curious that I sniffed through the window."

"The parents beat me up, saying that I was the one who sniffed the meat a few more times, which was why it went bad."

"I must have smelled the meat and it must have gone bad. They were really angry and beat me really hard. They used a carrying pole to hit me on the head. I passed out. When I woke up, I was like a fool who couldn't speak."

"I was dumb for a long time after that. It wasn't until they smashed me to death and hit me on the head a few days ago that I could recognize people and talk again."

Qiao Xinyi pretended to leave and said, "Aunt Zhang Hua, there are too many people here. If I keep on smelling the meat, it will stink. I'm going home first. I'll come back to chat with you after you finish eating the meat."

People with strong rationality are now holding the bowl with red eyes.

Aunt Zhang Hua also hurriedly pulled Qiao Xinyi aside, "Child, let me tell you, how can meat smell bad? Don't worry, it won't stink."

"Ah! No wonder everyone in the village wants to come to the city. The city is so good. Even the meat in the city doesn't smell bad!" Qiao Xinyi laughed excitedly, "Aunt, from now on, when your family cooks meat, will I come to smell it? Don't worry, I won't ask you for meat, I just come to smell it."

For the first time, Aunt Zhang Hua realized that she was also a person who could care about others.

It turns out that she is also someone who is willing to share food with others.

As soon as the braised pork came out of the pot, Aunt Zhang Hua immediately picked up a piece of it with chopsticks and put it to Qiao Xinyi's mouth, "Auntie, let me tell you, in the new society, men and women are equal, there is no such thing as girls not being worthy of eating meat."

Aunt Zhang Hua raised her voice towards the Qiao family and said, "Your grandmother favors sons over daughters, she is a remnant of the old society!

Your grandmother and your father don't love you, but we, the neighbors, love you.

Come, my daughter, try the braised pork made by your aunt and see if it smells as good as it does to you. ”

How could Qiao Xinyi accept it? She quickly stepped back and ran away, refusing repeatedly, saying that she couldn't take advantage of others. She also said that if Aunt Zhang Hua continued to do this, she would not dare to come out to chat with her in the future.

The more Qiao Xinyi refused, the more everyone felt that this child was genuine and honest, and so well-behaved that it made people feel sorry for her.

It also makes people believe that she was not making up the story just to get a bite of meat.

Chen Ju, who was sitting in Qiao's house, turned pale, and Qiao Laiwang's expression was not much better either.

"What is that money-loser yelling about?" Chen Ju lowered her voice and yelled at Qiao He, "Go and bring that embarrassing and annoying thing back!"

Qiao Bohe sat there without moving. She always felt that Qiao Xinyi did it on purpose, and she felt that Qiao Xinyi's behavior made her feel very happy.

Mom was in the corridor, and she didn't even call Qiao Xinyi back, which meant she didn't think Qiao Xinyi was bringing shame to the family.

On the other side, Qiao Xinyi is still working harder.

Because she saw Aunt Zhang Hua finish cooking the braised pork, wash a pot and start frying eggs.

She started by saying that she had never eaten eggs in her life and asked Aunt Zhang Hua what eggs tasted like, which won the favor of the neighbors again.

Helping Chen Ju and Qiao Laiwang brought a new wave of criticism.

Then she transformed herself into a filial daughter and explained for her father and grandmother.

"Aunt, don't blame my dad and grandma, they are just frugal."

"My mother said that from the day she married my father, he gave all his salary to my grandmother without missing a cent."

"My mother's salary is used to pay for family relationships, food, clothing, shelter, and my children's tuition."

"My grandma is very good at managing money. My mom and dad have been married for more than ten years, and she has never spent a penny of my dad's salary."

"I think my mom is amazing too! She supports the whole family with her salary alone! Even my dad and my grandma are supported by my mom!"

"My mom is amazing, but I feel sorry for her because she works so hard."

"My grandma is good at managing money, which is a plus, but I also think that sometimes she's too good at it, which is not good."

"For example, when he was in primary school, my mother said that she had too many social connections and was short of money, so her salary was not enough to pay for his tuition."

"She asked my dad for money, but my dad and my grandma refused to give her any, so she had to take a year off from school. Otherwise, she would have been able to catch up with the college entrance examination if she had gone to school."

His tone was sincere, without any dissatisfaction towards his biological father and Grandma Qin. He only said "but" occasionally, and his face was always smiling when he spoke.

The words were spoken in a gentle and light tone.

All the words with this character are invisible knives that kill people.

All the neighbors were stunned.

Aunt Zhang Hua called Chen Yubing directly and asked in a loud voice, "Chen Yubing, you have been married to Qiao Laiwang for ten years. Have you really never spent a penny of Qiao Laiwang's money? Are you really the one who supports the whole Qiao family?"

Chen Yubing didn't expect Qiao Xinyi to tell this to others.

Since Zhang Hua asked, Chen Yubing agreed.

"Yes, my mother-in-law holds all of Qiao Laiwang's salary. It's over 100 yuan, and I have never seen a penny of Qiao Laiwang's money." Chen Yubing said.

"If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have to work overtime and do odd jobs every day to earn money. If I didn't work so hard to earn money, my children wouldn't even have enough to eat."

If Chen Yubing told others about the money herself, they would definitely think that she was exaggerating and was definitely lying.

This was said unintentionally by the eldest daughter of the Qiao family who had just returned home, so everyone had a high degree of credibility about this matter.

Then Zhang Hua asked Chen Yubing in person, and after hearing Chen Yubing's answer, everyone believed it.

Chen Yubing worked so hard that she didn't even dare to take a day off from the factory. She would do any job that could earn money, no matter how dirty or tiring it was.

If anyone needed someone to cover for them, they could just pay Chen Yubing to do it.

Many neighbors secretly laughed at Chen Yubing for being obsessed with money and working like an ox all day long to make money.

Everyone thought that since Chen Yubing and Qiao Laiwang were both factory employees and received double salary, the Qiao family must have an easy life.

Who would have thought that in the past ten years, Chen Yubing has been supporting the whole Qiao family by herself.
