Chapter 312: Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years
"Let's go, there's no hope here. Let's go see if there's a suitable house nearby." Chen Jiao was also a proud person. Since Qiao Mo disliked them so much, she didn't want to get close to him and make herself bored.
"Mom, are you really not going to fight for it? She has such a big house, why doesn't she want us to live there for a while?" Qiao Nan asked unwillingly.
"We didn't have any contact before, and she doesn't want to have any contact with us in the future. Besides, she lives comfortably by herself, so why should she let our family move in?" Chen Jiao saw it very clearly.
Qiao Mo was afraid of snake bites once and ropes for ten years. She was afraid that after her family moved in, she and Qiao Mu would act like elders in front of her and control her life.
She was also afraid that it would be easier to invite the gods than to send them away. Whether it was the house in Hexi or the villa in front of her, she was afraid that their family would move in and never move out. In order not to cause herself more trouble, it would be better to ignore them from the beginning. Anyway, there was no affection between them.
"She is so cold-blooded." Qiao Nan said angrily.
"Isn't your father cold-blooded? If not, why hasn't he written even a single letter to my brothers and sisters in all these years?" Chen Jiao said self-deprecatingly. She herself was also a cold-blooded person. If not, she would not have stopped associating with the Qiao family forever. If she hadn't stopped associating with them, they wouldn't have been in such a state without any help.
She knew that although Qiao Yuting was divorced, Yang Weihua was not an ordinary person. As long as he was willing to help, they would not have come back for such a long time and still squeezed into the Chen family.
"My dad is my dad, and we are us. My dad did something wrong, so why is she taking her anger out on us?"
"If it weren't for your father, who would she know you to be?" Chen Jiao didn't expect that her eldest daughter couldn't see the situation clearly and was still blaming this and that.
"Mother·····"
"Qiao Nan, Qiao Mo is your father's niece. If she doesn't even want to recognize your father, why would she recognize you? You are sisters who grew up together and have no deep feelings for each other. You have never even met before. In her words, you are no different from strangers." Chen Jiao sighed and said.
"I understand. The reason why Qiao Mo doesn't want to get close to us is because Dad didn't treat her as a family member before." Qiao Nan seemed to understand what her mother meant.
"You can't blame your father entirely. We were short-sighted before. We thought they were just ordinary workers, and we were in the north. They couldn't help us much, so it didn't matter whether we interacted with them or not. As a result, we cut off contact with them, which led to our current situation." Chen Jiao knew that the reason why she had become a stranger to the Qiao family was mainly because of her.
It was because she didn't want to go to the countryside to visit her parents-in-law, and she didn't want to associate with the Qiao family. Qiao Mu didn't take care of the household chores, so she became more and more distant from the Qiao brothers and sisters.
Qiao Mo was unaware of Chen Jiao's emotion. She went back to her study to continue translating the novel, and only left the study when she had to prepare dinner.
Lunch was quite substantial, but dinner was much simpler. She took out some uncooked tofu from the space and planned to make fish head and tofu soup with the fish head left over from lunch, and then make twice-cooked pork with mushrooms, roasted fish with dried red peppers, garlic cabbage, and stir-fried pea sprouts.
She had just prepared the dishes and hadn't put them in the pot when Kang Mingyuan and the other two came back in a jeep loaded with pebbles and sand. They unloaded the required amount on the open space in the yard at Qiao Mo's place and sent the other half to the Wu family.
At first, Qiao Mo thought they were just picking up a few sacks of pebbles and putting them on the bus to bring back, but he didn't expect that they also used a jeep to solve the problem of pebbles and sand needed by both families in one go.
Qiao Mo knew that they would be back soon, so she quickly started cooking. She lit two fires, one for stewing the fish head and the other for stir-frying the vegetables.
She worked very quickly, and by the time Kang Mingyuan and the others came back after unloading the goods, the food was already on the table.
