"What's the matter? Are you addicted to stealing? Even if you become a ghost you will come to steal my money?" Qiao Xinyi deliberately distorted the meaning of Chen Ju's words.
"Then you better die soon. These few dollars are all I have. If you die later, I will have spent all the money and you will become a ghost and won't be able to steal from me."
"That's enough. You are such a sharp-tongued girl. Stop talking." The old man scolded Qiao Xinyi and then went to urge Qiao Laiwang, "Don't just stand there like an idiot!"
"I..." Qiao Laiwang hesitated, scratched his head, looked at Chen Yubing with embarrassment and said, "I have no money, you..."
"You don't have to support a family and you have no money. I have to support the whole family. Do you think I have money?" Chen Yubing sneered.
"Chen Yubing, you are trying to exhaust me to death on purpose!" Chen Ju was not pretending to be in pain, she was really in so much pain that she was sweating coldly.
Qiao Laiwang's face darkened, feeling that Chen Yubing didn't give him any face at all.
He went to see Qiao Xinyi and asked her, "What do you think we should do?"
What he meant was that Qiao Xinyi had hit the person, and Qiao Xinyi had money to buy ice soda last night, so she must have had money on her.
Qiao Laiwang was the father after all, and he was embarrassed to ask his daughter for money in front of his neighbors, so he pushed the problem to Qiao Xinyi.
Qiao Laiwang thought, since he had already told her that he had no money, Qiao Xinyi would definitely take the initiative to give him money, right?
Unexpectedly, Qiao Xinyi rolled her eyes at her. "You are a 40-year-old man who still needs a kid like me to teach you? If you don't have money, don't you know to borrow from your neighbors first? Can't you just pay them back when you get your salary next month?"
Qiao Laiwang's face turned even darker. He never expected Qiao Xinyi to respond to him like this.
After Qiao Xinyi finished speaking, she was still muttering, "What else can I do? This is so funny. What else can I do if I don't make any money?
I can't possibly follow your example and become a thief in the middle of the night to steal some money for your father, can I? If you steal your own family’s money, it’s fine, but if you steal other people’s money, you’ll go to jail! ”
"I didn't say those words." Qiao Laiwang was afraid that Qiao Xinyi would mutter something more unpleasant, so he interrupted her quickly and turned to look at the old man who had just spoken.
Qiao Laiwang had never been so embarrassed in his life. Of course he felt embarrassed to ask someone for a loan, so he could only look at the old man and wait for him to take the initiative to ask for a loan.
When the old man saw Qiao Laiwang's look, he wanted to curse immediately.
Taking care of the Qiao family's mess tonight is the biggest misfortune in his life!
"Come home with me and I'll get the money. I'll ask my son to lend it to you. We've got a deal. You have to pay it back next month when you get your salary. My son is not like you who doesn't have to support the family. His salary is enough to support my whole family."
The old man walked and talked. When he thought about how Qiao Laiwang's ten years of salary had been swindled away by Chen Ju, he threatened, "I don't care what excuses you have. If you dare not pay me back after I've paid you, I'll go to the factory to find your boss!"
The old man finally couldn't help but mutter, "What an unlucky day!"
Qiao Laiwang borrowed some money and a bicycle and took Chen Ju to the hospital overnight. Late in the evening, the neighbors came to see the doctor and went home to sleep early because they had to go to work the next day.
Qiao Xinyi closed the door, and Qiao Baili and Qiao Yunbai helped her pick up the things scattered on the ground.
"Big sister, count the money and see if grandma has stolen any." Qiao Yunbai handed over a few cents in his hand. "I never thought that grandma, who is so old, would actually steal money."
"You've brought shame to the entire family compound." Chen Yubing touched Qiao Xinyi's head with a distressed look on her face, "You were scared at night, right?"
No matter how brave she is, she is still a girl over 19 years old.
If you suddenly see a thief breaking into your house in the middle of the night, you will definitely be scared.
"I have less than one dollar in my bag." She just changed it into one-cent bills, so the money scattered on the ground looked like a lot.
Qiao Xinyi shook the few cents in her hand and sighed, "I am a very moral person. I have to use my brain when I want to clean up old things."
Chen Yubing: “…”
Qiao Baili: “…”
Qiao Yunbai: “…”
Seeing that the man was dumbfounded and speechless, Qiao Xinyi swept the broken stool aside and turned to look at the man, "It's okay, go back to sleep."
"Big sister..." Qiao Yunbai's voice trembled, "Do you know... do you know?"
"Why else would I tell you guys in front of this old man that I'm going to take you to the zoo tomorrow? And why would I keep saying I'm rich and there's nothing wrong with me?" Qiao Xinyi waved her hand.
When we dealt with Qiao Yougen and the others, we did not also deal with Chen Ju.
After Qiao Yougen and the others left, there was no excuse. After all, Chen Ju was a grandmother, an elder, and an old person. If she didn't find some excuse to take action, the family compound would spread rumors that she, Qiao Xinyi, was a traitor tomorrow.
She doesn't live here and is thick-skinned, so she's not afraid of being scolded.
But Chen Yubing and the others still live here, and she still works in the factory. Qiao Xinyi can't let Chen Yubing get a bad reputation for not being able to teach children, lest Chen Yubing gets anxious when she hears others scolding her.
Qiao Yunbai's suspicions were confirmed, and when he looked at Qiao Xinyi again, his eyes were filled with admiration.
At 14:30 in the morning, Qiao Laiwang brought Chen Ju back, and Qiao Xinyi was awakened by Chen Ju's voice.
She thought she had arrived home, but when she opened her eyes she found the door was still locked and Chen Ju was scolding her downstairs.
Qiao Xinyi listened carefully and heard Chen Ju scolding her granddaughter with the neighbors who got up early for being so cruel and saying that her foot was broken.
Qiao Xinyi stretched and sighed.
It's just a fracture, not a limp.
After getting dressed and opening the door, Qiao Xinyi stood in the corridor and shouted, "It's so early, many neighbors are still asleep, it's really unethical for you to chatter downstairs and disturb them."
Without giving Chen Ju a chance to speak, Qiao Xinyi continued, "I am a weak woman and I am fighting a thief in the middle of the night. If I don't use all my strength, am I just playing with him? Am I waiting for the thief to react and strangle me, a witness, to death?"
"Besides, I came from the countryside, so isn't it normal for me to be a little stronger? Who told you to stay up late at night and be a thief?"
After arguing with the man, Qiao Xinyi went back shaking her arms.
Chen Ju was about to curse, but Qiao Laiwang stopped her.
"It's still early. Many neighbors haven't woken up yet. Mom, please don't wake everyone up." Qiao Laiwang had been awake all night in the hospital and wanted to go back home early to sleep for an hour before going to work. He didn't want to listen to Chen Ju cursing downstairs at all.
Qiao Laiwang didn't have the energy to argue, so he went home without telling Chen Ju. He put Chen Ju on the bed and fell asleep while Chen Ju cursed at him.
Chen Yubing didn't like to hear Chen Ju scolding people, so when she saw that Qiao Xinyi and the others were awake, she took the two children and left.
Several people returned to Li's house. After having breakfast at Qiao Xinyi's house, Chen Yubing went to work alone.
Qiao Xinyi asked Qiao Baihe and Qiao Yunbai to wait for her in the room. She went there alone with her bag and came back about ten minutes later with her bag bulging.
