"Niu Ye, what do you think happened to the old man?"
Qiao Yicheng looked at Niu Ye anxiously and asked.
He was too anxious to deal with Qiao Simei, who was apologizing to herself.
Of course, this is what Qiao Simei does on a regular basis, which is too easy to make people feel chilled.
"You heard it right, it's just what you think. With such a provincial leader's in-laws, the old man is of course eager to plan benefits for himself. If he is not eating at home today, he may go to Xiang's house for dinner."
Niu Ye could tell that it wasn't that Qiao Yicheng didn't hear clearly just now, but he just hoped that he didn't hear clearly.
"No way, the old man won't go to my sister-in-law's house so soon, will he?"
Qiao Simei took the toilet paper handed over by Sanli, wiped the tears on her face and said.
Heartless people have great mood swings. When they first eat, they are happy, then they are angry, then they are regretful, and now they are worried.
"I'm just describing the old man and how fast he moves. I don't mean that the old man actually went to Xiang's house for dinner today. At least he shouldn't be able to touch the door of Xiang's house now."
Niu Ye explained, Niu Ye just described it, and Qiao Erqiang and Simei's faces became really anxious.
"Qiao Simei, you really don't know where the old man went to play?"
Qiao Yicheng was quite stable when it came to normal things, but when he met Qiao Zuwang, his father who acted like a monster, he was obviously a little panicked, and he immediately wanted to go outside to find Qiao Zuwang.
"I really don't know. He won't tell me where he goes to play. How about we go out and look for daddy now?" Qiao Simei said aggrievedly.
"It's not necessary. Even if you want to give the old man instructions, there is no rush to wait until he comes back. If you don't want to eat, just clear the table. Let's sit down and drink tea and wait slowly.
.”
The places where Qiao Zuwang often moves are not too many but not too few either.
It's not that easy to find him. It's not like he went to great lengths to find him just because he was worried that Qiao Zuwang might go to Xiang's house today. This was basically an impossible situation.
Because the commotion happened one after another, several people had no intention of eating.
"Brother, please sit down first. Don't be anxious. It's better to sit down and think about it and consider how to talk to the old man."
Sanli said to Qiao Yicheng while clearing the table.
"What else can I say? It's best to say it directly. The more straightforward it is, the better." Niu Ye said directly back to Sanli.
Even Qiao Simei would be angry and misunderstood because of Qiao Yicheng's statement, let alone Qiao Zuwang.
Qiao Simei has always been a drag on Qiao Yicheng and is always angry with Qiao Yicheng.
Not to mention Qiao Zuwang, an old father who believed that he was kind to Qiao Yicheng.
If Qiao Yicheng did not explain his situation clearly, Qiao Zuwang would have even more reason to get angry and quarrel with Qiao Yicheng.
It's just that for Qiao Yicheng, a person who is so proud in front of Qiao Zuwang, it is not easy for him to report his own situation, and it is not easy to talk about it.
However, Qiao Yicheng did not tell the truth, and he also had ways to control Qiao Zuwang. The simplest way was to control the living expenses.
The Qiao brothers and sisters must all be on Qiao Yicheng's side.
"Brother, how about I help you talk to the old man?"
Qiao Erqiang's intention to help Qiao Yicheng must be good, but Qiao Erqiang simply doesn't understand his importance in Qiao Zuwang's heart.
"It doesn't matter, I'll tell him myself."
Qiao Yicheng took a deep breath, prepared his mind, and then said.
In the afternoon, no one left and stayed waiting for Qiao Zuwang to come home.
Knowing that Qiao Zuwang and Qiao Yicheng would inevitably quarrel, when everyone was around, they could control the situation to some extent and ease the atmosphere.
Qiao Zuwang waited until dinner was over before Qiao Zuwang came back.
Niu Ye often questioned Qiao Zuwang's health. The biggest effect was that Qiao Zuwang greatly reduced the frequency of playing mahjong all night long.
"Sweet honey, sweet honey..."
Before anyone arrived, I heard Qiao Zuwang humming a tune happily.
Qiao Zuwang is obviously in a good mood. He should have won when he went out to play mahjong today.
"Hey... what day is it today? Why is everyone here? Which of you has a birthday?"
When Qiao Zuwang entered the house and saw so many people in the house, he said with a surprised expression.
There are quite a few people today. Except for Qi Chenggang who is not here to open a store and Xiang Nanfang who is not here, it can be said that everyone is here.
"No one has a birthday, they are all waiting for you. Besides, don't you know when one of us will have a birthday? Oh... I forgot, you really don't know."
From this attitude, you knew it was Qiao Simei who was speaking.
Erqiang, Sanli, and Qiqi have always treated Qiao Zuwang with respect.
If Qiao didn't ignore Qiao Zuwang once, he wouldn't be so disrespectful when he got into a fight with Qiao Zuwang.
"Why are you waiting for me? Sanli, make me a cup of tea."
Qiao Zuwang said with a normal expression, "Do you remember your children's birthdays? It's such a trivial matter that it won't embarrass Qiao Zuwang."
"I've been waiting for you. Of course I have something to say to you."
"Then tell me what you have to say. It's time for me to watch TV at this point. The TV series is about to be broadcast..."
Qiao Zuwang took the tea poured by Sanli, sat on the sofa, and said while holding the remote control to change TV programs.
"Qiqi, take Jiu'er and go back to the house over there to play first."
Today's conflict is inevitable, so let Qiao Qiqi take Jiu'er back to Niu's old house.
Failure to send the child away in advance at noon has already had a bad impact on the child.
This will obviously be more intense at night, and it is really inappropriate to do it in front of the children.
Seeing Qiao Zuwang's casual attitude, Qiao Yicheng turned off the TV directly: "I heard that you want to ask the Xiang family to do something for you. It's useless for Niu Ye and Sanli to persuade you. You have to tell me in person.
Here you go, tell me!"
"Qiao Yicheng, even you don't want me to go to the Xiang family?"
Qiao Zuwang said with a dark face. Qiao Yicheng turned off the TV directly. Qiao Zuwang finally realized that the atmosphere today was not right.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Heh... you have something to ask the Xiang family to do for you. Can you tell me first?"
Qiao Yicheng sneered, looked at Qiao Zuwang and said.
"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll look for it when I think about it."
Seeing Qiao Yicheng's cold face, Qiao Zuwang was already frightened, but he still said firmly.
Qiao Zuwang was very good at observing Qiao Yicheng's words, and Qiao Yicheng would never get angry.
Qiao Zuwang always liked to be stubborn with Qiao Yicheng, trying to prove that he was not afraid of Qiao Yicheng.
"Qiao Zuwang, I am waiting for you to come back today, just to tell you that you should not go to the Xiang family for your own affairs, and if you have any trouble, do not go to the south."
"Qiao Yicheng, what do you mean? You married the daughter of a big cadre, so you don't want me as your father." Qiao Zuwang stood up and showed an angry expression: "I have raised you for so many years and taken care of you.
I have kept you for so many years. Now that you have climbed a high branch and lived a good life, you are not going to care about me anymore, are you?"
Qiao Zuwang and Qiao Simei are indeed the only two people who want to take advantage of the Xiang family, and they all say the same thing.
"Dad, that's not what eldest brother means. It's not that he doesn't want to take care of you anymore. What he means is that it's still the same as before. If you have anything to do, just go to eldest brother. Don't go directly to the Xiang family and sister-in-law."
Sanli could also see that Qiao Zuwang's anger was fake, but he still had to do what a peacemaker should do.
"That's not the same thing. I can take advantage of the family, but I don't want me, my old father, to take advantage of it. Qiao Zeng, tell me how much advantage I have taken of you over the years. It's not easy for you to marry a cadre family.
My daughter, can’t I enjoy the blessings with you? Qiao Yicheng, I have really raised you for so many years in vain.”
He was afraid of Qiao Yicheng's return, but Qiao Zuwang's attitude of wanting to take advantage of the Xiang family was still very firm.
When the benefits were big enough, Qiao Zuwang still had the courage to stand up to Qiao Yicheng.
"It's a joke. You've been taking care of us for so many years? I said no, I just couldn't. I never missed you to eat or drink. I gave you your monthly living expenses, and I didn't even delay you going out to play.
Yes. Why are you looking for the Xiang family?"
Qiao Yicheng continued to be arrogant and did not want to have a good communication with Qiao Zuwang.
He didn't want to expose his difficulties in front of Qiao Zuwang.
Qiao Yicheng has always hoped that he and Qiao Zuwang would live different lives.
If you encounter difficulties in your own life, then your life will not be the same as Qiao Zuwang's.
"Dad, when you go to trouble the Xiang family, aren't you doing the same thing as a poor relative who comes to visit you for a meal? Isn't that just making the Xiang family look down on our family?"
Qiao Yicheng didn't want to say it, so Sanli could only talk about it in a cryptic way.
"What's there to look down on? We are a civilian family. They are willing to marry their daughter in, but they don't look down on our Qiao family. If we don't look down on ourselves, they won't look down on us."
Let Qiao Zuwang speak the truth, and Qiao Zuwang has always been very good at speaking.
"Not now, but if you want to find other people to do things and take advantage of their family, they will look down on our family. They think that the eldest brother married their daughter just to take advantage of their family."
Sanli continued to explain to Qiao Zuwang.
Qiao Erqiang and Qiqi can't talk to each other. Qiao Simei can talk, but he is not a person who can reason.
Qiao Yicheng didn't speak, hoping that Sanli could explain Qiao Zuwang.
The original intention was to deal with Qiao Zuwang as peacefully as possible.
"I am just an ordinary citizen, and the things I ask them to do are just trivial things for them. This is considered as mutual help between relatives and friends. It does not embarrass them. Don't worry, I am already so old, but I still can't do it.
Someone who understands the ways of dealing with relatives."
Qiao Zuwang smiled proudly while talking to Sanli, which meant that he wanted to send gifts to the Xiang family and asked the Xiang family to do something.
He is also a person who watches other people's discs. When he went to Niuye's house to take advantage of him, he didn't feel that Qiao Zuwang understood the ways of the world.
"If you really dare to trouble the Xiang family with your affairs, don't blame me for cutting off your living expenses. Not only me, but also the second, third, and fourth children will not give you another penny."
"you…"
Qiao Zuwang pointed at Qiao Yicheng and was speechless for a moment. If you want to take advantage of Qiao Zuwang, it is easiest to start with money.
"If you really dare to go, I will not only cut off your living expenses, but I will also go to court and sever ties with you."
Marrying Xiang Nanfang still put too much pressure on Qiao Yicheng. In order to make Qiao Zu despair, he even said the words to sever the relationship.
Severing ties is a relic of a special era.
In later years, going to court to sever ties was considered a joke, but it did not dissolve the de facto relationship between father and son.
But because of the special era of the previous ten years, and because of various origins and status implications.
Going to court to sever ties will actually be recognized.
Of course, because the Civil Code was revised in 1993, going to court can no longer sever the blood relationship between father and son.
But it was enough for Qiao Yicheng to fool Qiao Zuwang.
"Who are you scaring?" Qiao Zuwang reacted greatly when he heard this.
"Tell me if I'm trying to scare you. You should know best what kind of person I, Qiao Yicheng, have been like since I was a child. See if I can do it or not."
Qiao Yicheng said to Qiao Zuwang with an angry face, took his bag and left Qiao's house directly.
Qiao Yicheng's performance today also exceeded Niu Ye's expectations.
Niu Ye originally thought that Qiao Yicheng was just using his living expenses to give Qiao Zuwang a try, but now he directly said that he was severing the relationship.
Qiao Zuwang didn't dare to say anything at all. He was half too shocked and half frightened, so he slumped down on the sofa.
"Sanli, let's go, let's go too."
Niuye took Sanli, who wanted to comfort Qiao Zuwang, and walked out of the house directly.
"I think Dad was scared. Why did you drag me out?"
Sanli was obviously too involved in the drama, or she was confused because she was concerned. She usually sees things quite clearly, but she didn't understand the current situation.
"Then why are you staying? To keep the old man safe, tell him that you won't give him living expenses. Then why don't you let Qiao Yicheng's hard work go to waste? There are two strong men and four beautiful women over there.
That’s it.”
The top two and top four will most likely not try to stabilize Qiao Zuwang.
Even if two people really comforted Qiao Zuwang, Qiao Zuwang would not feel at ease.
After Niuye took Sanli away, Erqiang was a restaurant cook and Simei was a housewife.
The promises made by two people could not give Qiao Zuwang the courage to continue to be a monster.
Relying only on the living expenses provided by Erqiang and Simei, Qiao Zuwang could not maintain such a comfortable life now.
"Boss Qiao, were you really angry just now?"
In just two sentences, we arrived at Niu's old house.
Qiao Yicheng was already sitting on the sofa here, but he still had a cold face.
"Can I not be angry with the old man's attitude?"
This was also the time when Qiao Yicheng met Qiao Zuwang, and it was easy to lose control of his anger. He still had resentment towards Qiao Zuwang in his heart.
"There's nothing to be angry about. He hasn't had time to do anything yet. The way you got angry today is enough to make him afraid to go to the Xiang family."
"Qiqi, stop working so hard. Let's sit down and leave."
Sanli said to Qiqi who was busy pouring tea for three people.
"Qiqi, there's no need to fall down, it's getting late, it's time to rest. Let's go, let's send you and Jiu'er back first."
