"Okay." Fu Qing responded, "I will report this to the army. We can't let this affect us anymore."
After returning home, Qiao Xinyi packed their clothes while Fu Qingxiao wrote a report. After they finished packing their clothes, they closed the door and left. When they arrived at the gate of the family compound, Qiao Xinyi took the children to wait for the car in front while Fu Qingxiao went to the troops.
Fu Qing was not sure when he would get better, so he did not let Qiao Xinyi and the children wait for him in the hot sun. As soon as the car came, Qiao Xinyi took the two children and left first.
It didn't take long for word to spread in the family compound that Captain Fu and his wife had had a quarrel, and Qiao Xinyi was so angry that she took her two children away, leaving Captain Fu alone here.
Some people also said that the He family was doing something outrageous, forcing a couple who had just gotten married yesterday to divorce.
After returning to the city, Qiao Xinyi first went to the small western-style building to put her things away, then went to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables, and then went directly back to her parents' home with her two children.
Chen Bingbing was at work, Qiao Baihe and Qiao Yunbai were at home. When they saw Qiao Xinyi suddenly come back with the two children, the two siblings were shocked.
"Sister, tomorrow is the day to return home, why are you back today?" Qiao Yunbai asked, "My brother-in-law didn't come?"
"He'll be late." Qiao Xinyi said, "We plan to stay in the small western-style building for a few days to get some peace and quiet."
Qiao Xinyi briefly told the two siblings about He Rou's situation, and both of them had indescribable expressions.
"Why does she have to do this? If she doesn't do these little things behind your back, will you be able to care about her even if you meet her in the future?" Qiao Baili shook her head.
Qiao Xinyi grinned, "Actually, she's right about one thing. After I move into the family compound, if I run into her, she won't say anything nice."
Qiao Xinyi said frankly, "I remember that she bullied you and made you wait outside the family compound for a whole day and night. This debt alone is enough for me to scold her every time I see her."
Just because Qiao Baili knitted sweaters for her and washed her clothes, she protected Qiao Baili.
Chen Bingbing and Qiao Baihe were really devoted to her. All three of them wanted to do more for her and never thought of asking for anything from her.
"She's so annoying, pretentious, and loves to cry." Qiao Yunbai said, "In my grandmother's words, someone like her who cries all the time must have cried away all her blessings."
When Chen Ju was mentioned, Qiao Yunbai immediately became excited.
"Sister, do you know what happened last night? I thought I had to wait until you came back tomorrow to tell you, but I didn't expect you to come back today!"
Qiao Yunbai jumped up from his chair and pulled Qiao Xinyi and the two children to sit down. It seemed that this matter was going to be a long story.
"Sister, Dad was kicked out of the house by his uncle and grandmother last night."
The news was very explosive, and Qiao Xinyi was very excited to hear it.
"Didn't Qiao Laiwang go to the street office to persuade them? After all, Qiao Laiwang has taken care of Chen Ju for two years." Qiao Xinyi thought that Qiao Yougen and Chen Ju were more cruel than she thought.
How long has it been since Qiao Laiwang returned? Just for a room, you're making a fuss?
"Dad forced my uncle to pay them back before. In order to avoid being fired, my uncle and his friends borrowed money from everywhere and finally got the money together to pay Dad back."
"Dad opened a new passbook to save money. Grandma said she would keep it for him and help him find a new partner. Dad disagreed and said he would have to manage his own money from now on."
"Then my uncle asked my dad to borrow money again, saying that he wanted to spend money to find someone to smooth things over so that he could be transferred back to the workshop. However, he had no money left, so he wanted to borrow from my dad, but my dad didn't agree. Maybe my uncle said something unpleasant, and they started arguing."
"Then grandma told Dad to get out and not to occupy the Qiao family's room."
Qiao Yunbai was so excited that he rubbed his knuckles with his fists. "Dad definitely wouldn't agree, so he asked the street office and old neighbors to help him get justice. Big sister, what was the result? Guess what?"
"Have Qiao Yougen and Chen Ju decided to be shameless? Or does Chen Ju want to sever ties with Qiao Laiwang and not acknowledge him as her son?" It is obvious that Chen Ju is biased. Whenever Qiao Laiwang quarrels with Qiao Yougen, Chen Ju will definitely stand on Qiao Yougen's side.
"More than that!" Qiao Yunbai stretched out a finger and shook it. "Grandma said in front of the street office and old neighbors that Dad was not hers. She said that the baby she gave birth to died right after birth. Dad was an unwanted child that she and Grandpa picked up on the way home from the hospital and took home as hers."
Qiao Xinyi was stunned. How could it be like this?
"Does Chen Ju have any evidence?" Qiao Xinyi felt that no matter whether Chen Ju could get evidence or not, it was most likely true that Qiao Laiwang was not Chen Ju's son.
Qiao Xinyi had always felt that Chen Ju treated Qiao Laiwang's children very differently, and Qiao Laiwang seemed to be treated as a blood bag by her.
If the child is their own, parents would rarely be biased to this extent.
Chen Ju saw Qiao Laiwang being beaten by her several times, but she never showed any sympathy, let alone thought of helping Qiao Laiwang.
"There is a handwritten death certificate issued by the hospital where she gave birth." Qiao Yunbai said, "Next to the Qiao family's ancestral tomb, there is an inconspicuous, very small mound, which is covered with grass. We used to think it was a natural small mound. When Qiao Jizu was a child, he jumped onto the mound to play. When my grandfather saw him, he scolded him."
"And then?" Qiao Xinyi asked.
Qiao Yunbai shook his head. "It was very late, so I came back. From this morning till now, Sister Lily has been pressuring me to study and not letting me go out to join in the fun. I don't know what happened afterwards."
"I just found out that when he said he was going to get some fresh air these days, he was actually going there to secretly gather information. He can't escape any disturbance over there." Qiao Baili looked helpless. "It must be very chaotic over there right now. If he goes over to join in the fun, he might get dragged into it too. It would be a thankless task."
Qiao Xinyi nodded. Anyway, Chen Bing and Qiao Laiwang worked in the same factory, so Chen Bing would tell Qiao Laiwang about his affairs when he got back from work.
How many people don’t like to watch the fun things happening in other people’s homes?
The news would reach her ears without Chen Bing having to ask around.
"Let's wait for mom to come back and ask her. The weather is too hot, I'll take the two children to buy some ice soda." Qiao Xinyi slung her bag over her shoulder.
"Sister! I'll go with you!" Qiao Yunbai couldn't sit still after sitting all morning, so when he heard Qiao Xinyi was going to leave, he wanted to follow.
Qiao Baili felt too hot to go, so Qiao Xinyi led a large and two small group out the door.
It was a coincidence that Qiao Xinyi met Director Huang of the steel plant at the gate of the staff quarters.
"Director Huang, are you visiting me?" Qiao Xinyi greeted the other person in a familiar manner.
People these days are very polite. Qiao Xinyi would take the initiative to say hello, and Director Huang would naturally stop and respond with a smile.
"What are you doing here? I often see you in the family compound here. If you don't know me, you might think you are from our textile factory." Qiao Xinyi joked, "You come here once, frown once, and if you come here a few more times, I will start to suspect that you are here to steal bitter melons."
"You are such a funny woman!" Director Huang was amused, then shook the documents in his hand and said, "At the end of September, our country will hold an international industry exhibition in Beijing. There will be many foreign friends coming to participate in the exhibition, so I am looking for someone to translate the documents in my hand, right?"
