Qiao Qixin picked up a piece of grass and held it in her mouth.
She hired someone to kidnap her brother, and then threatened her parents, saying that they would have to pay one hundred taels of silver before they released him.
The parents were very anxious, and the first person they came to was Qiao Qixin, who asked for a hundred taels of silver. If she didn't give it, she would act up, cry, make trouble, and hang herself.
Qiao Qixin put on a show, saying that she only had ninety taels of silver on hand, and she couldn't get the rest even if she was killed.
After hearing this, her parents only took ninety taels. As for the remaining ten taels, Qiao Qixin didn't know where they got it.
In short, they handed over the one hundred taels to the "kidnapper", and the "kidnapper" let him go.
It's just that the place where they were released was on the edge of a cliff, and the three of them "accidentally" fell off the cliff on their way back.
Not all of them died, but the pampered brother survived, but two legs were broken, but his left leg was not broken.
He once wanted to get close to Qiao Qixin to support himself for the rest of his life, but Qiao Qixin kicked him out and told the public that he was a beggar from nowhere.
Anyway, the younger brother has never appeared in front of anyone. He usually stays at home, waiting for his parents to bring him food.
As for the one hundred taels of silver, Qiao Qixin only took back eighty taels, and the other twenty taels were used as the "kidnapper's" hard work.
After that, the road Qiao Qixin opened her store was also full of potholes, but at least there were no big rocks.
"...Are you in a daze?" Liu Zhan suddenly tilted his head and approached Qiao Qixin.
Qiao Qixin said "Ah", "It's okay, I just got distracted. What do you want to say?"
Liu Zhan looked at Qiao Qixin, "What do you think family is?"
"Family... probably means that they will argue and make trouble, but they will never leave you behind." Qiao Qixin blinked.
Liu Zhan lowered his head and reached out to pick up the grass on the ground.
"Who are you two? What are you doing squatting here?" A familiar voice came from behind.
Qiao Qixin turned around, and an uncle with fair skin and a straw hat appeared in front of her.
The uncle looked at Qiao Qixin and was stunned for a few seconds, and then said "haha", "Little girl, you look like my sister, what's your name?"
"My name is Qiao Qixin." Qiao Qixin said with a smile.
"Qiao Qixin? Is that really your name?" Brother Zhang confirmed.
Qiao Qixin nodded.
Brother Zhang smiled and said, "What a coincidence, my girl is also named..."
Brother Zhang suddenly fell silent. He looked at the familiar smiling face in front of him and was shocked, "Qixin? Are you Qixin? Are you finally back?"
"Of course, Brother Zhang, how are you, do you miss me?" Qiao Qixin smiled and gave Brother Zhang a hug.
Brother Zhang grabbed Qiao Qixin's shoulders and looked around, then smacked his lips and said, "Not bad, not bad, she has become more beautiful these days when we go out! Come on, let your sister see it too!"
"I've seen it a long time ago." Sister Zhang, who happened to be cooking a bowl of porridge, heard Brother Zhang yelling as soon as she went out, "Qixin, come quickly, the porridge is ready."
"Okay!" Qiao Qixin jumped and ran towards Sister Zhang.
Sister Zhang flicked Qiao Qixin's forehead and scolded, "How old are you? You still look like a child."
Qiao Qixin rubbed Sister Zhang's arm affectionately, "Sister Zhang~"
The two sisters happily walked into the kitchen hand in hand, leaving the two men staring behind.
"Who are you?" Brother Zhang asked warily.
This kid was squatting with Qixin just now, don't think he didn't see it.
"I am the young master of Hexu Villa..."
Brother Zhang instantly bullied Liu Zhan with a threatening look in his eyes, "What is your relationship with my Qixin? Huh?"
Liu Zhan was stunned for a moment, "Cooperative relationship?"
"Cooperation? Cooperation for what?"
"This... is not convenient to reveal." Liu Zhan said.
Brother Zhang straightened up and looked at Liu Zhan, "What do you think of my sister?"
"Ah?" Liu Zhan didn't react for a while.
"Ah what? I just saw it! Do you want to marry my Qixin? Don't you?" Brother Zhang said fiercely.
Only then did Liu Zhan react, "No, I am the young master of Hexu Villa. I just brought Qiao Qixin here and stayed for lunch."
Brother Zhang squinted at Liu Zhan with a look of disbelief.
"Brother Zhang, Liu Zhan, do you two want to eat salty bones?" Qiao Qixin poked her head from the kitchen.
"Eat! Put three pieces for me! I want more meat!" Brother Zhang turned around and said loudly.
Qiao Qixin nodded, "What about you, Liu Zhan?"
"I..." Liu Zhan hesitated, "I don't want it anymore, just a bowl of porridge."
"Okay." Qiao Qixin turned around and entered the kitchen, then picked a piece of boneless meat from the pot and stuffed it into the bowl for Liu Zhan.
Sister Zhang gave Qiao Qixin a meaningful look.
Dining room
The four of them sat around the table in the restaurant, each with a bowl full of Laba porridge in front of them.
Qiao Qixin looked around, "Why don't you eat?"
Sister Zhang looked at Liu Zhan and said, "Don't be in a hurry."
Brother Zhang also stared at Liu Zhan and expressed his agreement with Sister Zhang's words.
Liu Zhan, who was stared at by the two, stared at the Laba porridge in front of him without saying anything.
Qiao Qixin pushed the bowl to Liu Zhan and said, "You eat first, you are the young master's family."
Brother Zhang and Sister Zhang nodded at the same time.
Liu Zhan awkwardly and slowly picked up the chopsticks and put them into the bowl, then stopped moving.
Qiao Qixin was also embarrassed.
She had to take the first sip of porridge, and then asked her eldest brother, Sister Zhang, to eat together.
The couple then picked up their porridge bowls and started eating.
Sister Zhang was restless even while eating and kept staring at Liu Zhan. As a result, Liu Zhan did not dare to raise his head and his face was almost buried in the porridge bowl.
"Eat slowly, I put a piece of meat in it, don't swallow it directly."
