"What mother means is..." Xu Qiaoqiao didn't quite believe what she heard. In her impression, everything her mother did was for the second and fourth brothers. She and the eldest brother were the two who were destined to pay.
But now isn't it true that she was hit on the head and hallucinating?
Zhang Xiaoying held Xu Qiaoqiao's hand and apologized to her on behalf of the original owner, "Mom has done a lot of things that I've done to you that I'm sorry for, especially the Lin family's marriage. I let you get married without knowing anything about it, and I made you suffer a lot.
"As long as you feel happy, it's up to you to marry or not to marry. All you need to do is bring your child up and teach him well. Mom won't force you anymore!"
Xu Qiaoqiao's nose felt sour, and the tears that she had managed to stop fell again. She choked and said, "Mom, are you telling the truth? If I don't get married in the future, you really won't force me?"
"No." Zhang Xiaoying promised, "It's up to you."
"Mother..." Xu Qiaoqiao threw herself into Zhang Xiaoying's arms, tears streaming down her face, "Thank you."
"Stop crying, you will make me impatient again." Zhang Xiaoying tensed her body and said stiffly, "Sit up straight and wipe off the horse urine. If you see it, you will get angry."
The familiar tone made Xu Qiaoqiao stunned for a moment, and quickly exited Zhang Xiaoying's arms.
However, there were no curse words following.
"You also know the temperaments of your two sisters-in-law, so after you settle down, you can use the money to buy land and build a house. It will be good for you and the children, and you don't have to look at other people's faces." Zhang Xiaoying considered her seriously.
Xu Qiaoqiao is the most pleasing to Zhang Xiaoying among the cheap children, so Zhang Xiaoying does not treat her like the other three sons.
She can suppress Mr. Liang and Mr. Lin from doing anything to Xu Qiaoqiao in public, but she can't always take care of what they do in private.
After all, cold violence can drive people crazy.
"I listen to my mother." Xu Qiaoqiao didn't know why my mother changed, but she really liked her now.
At least, instead of treating her like a commodity, she can feel the love and care from her mother.
"If your second sister-in-law dares to ask you for money, ask her to ask me. Also, you are not allowed to subsidize any man in the family in private, especially Xu Yunfei and Xu Wencong. If you let me know, don't blame me for being rude."
Zhang Xiaoying reminded Xu Qiaoqiao seriously.
"What's wrong with Yunfei and Wen Cong? Mom, did something happen at home?" Xu Qiaoqiao was surprised. You must know that these two are my mother's darlings. I can sacrifice anyone in the family, but I can't bear to let these two.
Everyone suffers a little bit.
Zhang Xiaoying briefly and concisely told the story about Xu Yunfei's gambling and Xu Wencong's time in school.
After hearing this, Xu Qiaoqiao couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
"So Yun Fei's leg was broken, and Wen Cong stopped going to school?"
"It should be that Xu Yunfei was kicked out of the house by me. If Xu Wencong doesn't make progress, he will never have the chance to enter school again in this life."
"Mom, are you serious?"
"Instead of wasting money on useless waste, what should I do?"
Xu Qiaoqiao: "..."
Is this really her mother?
The person is still the same person, but nowhere else is the same.
"Remember, don't meddle in other people's business, and you are so kind to use your own money to supplement them. You still have a pair of daughters waiting for you to raise them. Raising them well and teaching them well is what you should do. Don't expect to be able to rely on them in the future.
Your brother and nephew."
Zhang Xiaoying reminded me again.
"Otherwise, I won't help clean up any mess it causes."
"I know, mother."
Xu Qiaoqiao nodded.
By the time we returned to Dafu Village, it was already noon.
Mrs. Liang looked at the door from time to time, looking forward to the return of her husband and mother-in-law.
When she saw the carriage and the horse behind it, Ms. Liang's heart suddenly skipped a beat: It's over. Could it be that the sons-in-law of the Lin family came back and caught their mother-in-law and came to settle accounts?
Just when Ms. Liang was scared, the carriage stopped at the door of Xu's house.
Zhang Xiaoying got off the carriage immediately, then turned around to hug the twin girls.
They stayed close to Xu Qiaoqiao in the carriage without making any sound.
The next moment Ms. Liang breathed a sigh of relief, she saw Xu Qiaoqiao with a bruised nose and swollen face, and her breath suffocated.
"Qiao Qiao, your face..." She covered her mouth in disbelief, "Who beat you like this..."
"Can't you just shut up and ask again when you go back?" Zhang Xiaoying interrupted her angrily.
Mrs. Liang kept her mouth shut and did not dare to speak.
"Go and tidy up the unoccupied room, and let the three of them live in it first."
"Yes, mother."
Mrs. Liang glanced at Xu Qiaoqiao again.
Xu Qiaoqiao gave him an apologetic look.
Liang walked away silently.
When Xu Jinyu and Xu Linlang saw the two sisters who looked exactly the same, they all gathered around happily, "Auntie, are these the big girl and the second girl? They are so cute."
"Well, the eldest girl and the second girl, please call me sister." Xu Qiaoqiao knelt down and taught her two daughters to call each other.
"Sister~" Neither of them can speak very well, but their well-behaved looks are really lovable.
Xu Qiaoqiao taught them to call people one by one.
Mrs. Lin came out of the house. When she heard Mrs. Liang asked about Xu Qiaoqiao being scolded, she didn't mention the injuries at all and said with a smile: "Look, these two little girls are so cute. Come on, call your second aunt..."
…”
"From now on, I'll call you Second Aunt!" Zhang Xiaoying interrupted Lin's words coolly, "From tonight on, their surname will all be Xu, not Lin."
Mrs. Lin was stunned, and it took her a while to find her voice, "Mom, really..."
Reconciled?
Zhang Xiaoying said: "I've broken up with Mr. Lin. It's up to her whether we marry or not. But she won't live here forever. The Lin family has given her some money. I will help her buy land and build a building with the money."
Fang, please keep your thoughts to yourself.
"If I were to know, whoever wants to take advantage of her little money will suffer the same fate as the fourth child. Boss, the second child's family, remember?"
"I know." Mrs. Lin responded hurriedly.
My mother-in-law said that the third child would build another house, that is, just live at home temporarily. She would not let the third child look at her so ignorantly.
It would be shameless for her to get beaten back.
"Oh, mother, it's not easy for the third child. Just live at home and don't spend money randomly." Mrs. Lin can still do the superficial thing.
"Come on, are you really happy for the three of them to live here? That's fine, don't build a house, just squeeze in." Zhang Xiaoying didn't know what Lin was thinking, so she retorted back angrily.
Lin: "..."
"I'll make the clothes first, and there are only a few stitches left to finish."
Mrs. Lin quickly ran away to avoid making too many mistakes and allowed Xu Qiaoqiao to stay at home.
The house is small to begin with, so it's okay to squeeze it in for a while, but not for a long time.
"It's inconvenient for your sister-in-law to be pregnant, so you go and help clean up." Zhang Xiaoying looked sideways at Xu Qiaoqiao.
"Okay, mother." Xu Qiaoqiao didn't dare to be idle.
The twin girls were already playing with Xu Jinyu and the others, so Zhang Xiaoying had time to greet A Qian.
"The house is simple, A-Qian, you can make do with it."
"Mother-in-law, do your whole family live in this small house?"
