Chapter 316: Chapter 316 A Big Scene Chapter 316: Chapter 316 A Big Scene Luo Qiao had overheard the commotion behind her just now. In fact, lice weren’t only a problem in the countryside but were present on so city dwellers as well. However, today’s issue with that particular family wasn’t lice, it was laziness.
They probably hadn’t washed their hair in a long ti, otherwise, the lice wouldn’t have infested to such an extent, and they wouldn’t speak so confidently as if they were in the right. The mother was quite a character.
By lunchti, her appetite had waned, so she made a cup of milk using the thermos Lu Yichen had prepared for her, which was plastic on the outside and lined with glass on the inside.
Luo Qiao thought this person was really attentive. She had planned to use an enal mug to hold water, but she hadn’t expected Lu Yichen to provide a thermos, which was considered a valuable item during those tis.
Thinking of her trip to the south this ti, she decided she should find sothing appropriate to reciprocate the favor. She didn’t know how things would be in the future, but for now, she didn’t want to owe anyone anything.
She had not found one of these thermoses during her last trip south, otherwise, she would have gotten one for herself long ago.
From her backpack, she took out a marinated egg and a stead bun mixed with wheat and corn flour. This was her al, and the sweet scent of milk powder attracted looks from those sitting nearby.
In Capital City, at the chanical Factory Residential Compound, the Luo Family was having lunch when they heard so noisy quarrels from outside, which turned out to be coming from Deputy Director Qiao’s house, not far from them.
The Luo Family ate their lunch unhurriedly, with no interest in the commotion. It was a normal occurrence, and they neither could nor wanted to manage it.
It turned out that a few days ago, Deputy Director Qiao had sent Qiao ng back to his brother’s place.
But his brother’s new wife would have none of it, complaining they agreed not to live with a stepdaughter. She said giving five yuan a month was sufficient.
So Qiao ng’s biological father had no choice but to send Qiao ng to her mother’s place. However, Qiao ng’s mother was sowhat weak and couldn’t protect her. Qiao ng was always bullied by her step-siblings.
Left with no option, Qiao ng was sent back to her grandmother’s. She too was supposed to give Qiao ng a three-yuan monthly allowance, which was handed over to Qiao ng’s grandmother.
But the wife of Qiao ng’s youngest uncle disagreed with Qiao ng living there. She argued the house was already cramped, with their own kids barely fitting in. There was simply no room for Qiao ng.
Now, Qiao ng’s grandmother was helpless and had to send Qiao ng to the eldest son’s place in the chanical Factory. But how could Sun Liying possibly let Qiao ng stay any longer when her own brother and sister-in-law were almost at their wits’ end with her?
Due to Qiao ng’s instigation, her niece Sun Guixiang had made a mistake and was now reassigned to work in the workshop, a decision personally approved by the Factory Director with no room for negotiation.
Sun Liying constantly encountered trouble from Sun Guixiang’s family because of all this. Now her mother-in-law wanted her to take Qiao ng back in? That was out of the question. She made it clear that no amount of fuss would change her mind unless she and Qiao Haiqing got a divorce.
On normal days, Qiao Haiqing would listen to his mother, but he knew better than to risk his own small household over his brother’s affairs, so for the first ti, he went against his mother’s wishes.
Qiao ng never imagined she would end up like this and sohow started to resent the Luo Family. She ran out and frantically knocked on the Luo Family’s door, demanding an explanation from them.
Luo Haotian was also annoyed with the girl. She had not been honest in her doings and now had the gall to make trouble at his ho. He sent Luo Si to fetch Qiao Haiqing, but now even Qiao Haiqing couldn’t extricate himself from the situation with his mother to deal with Qiao ng.
Luo Haotian simply called the police, as he had no ti to deal with Deputy Director Qiao’s dostic issues. When the police arrived, the situation beca even more entangled.
Only now Sun Liying learned that her second brother-in-law had been giving her mother-in-law five yuan a month and the previous daughter-in-law gave three yuan. Eight yuan in total, ant to be for Qiao ng’s living expenses.
Yet Sun Liying had not seen a di for taking care of Qiao ng, whereas her mother-in-law claid that her youngest son had a hard life and used the money to support his household.
It seed only their family was foolish, with the second brother paying for so peace and the third brother not having to worry about anything and even having an extra eight yuan a month for household expenses. anwhile, their family was thrown into chaos by Qiao ng.
Sun Liying firmly stated, “Qiao Haiqing, if you dare to take Qiao ng back in, let’s just go and file for divorce.”
Old Lady Qiao, seeing her daughter-in-law causing her to lose face in front of so many people, imdiately began crying and wailing on the ground, “There’s no justice! A daughter-in-law doesn’t even consider her mother-in-law’s feelings. Over such a small matter, she threatens divorce to scare people. She’s doing this deliberately to embarrass , an old lady. I have no face to live anymore. You live in a spacious house; is it that hard to help out your brother?”
Now Qiao Haiqing regretted not listening to his wife. He should never have taken this hot potato. He now realized how ridiculous it was to be coaxed by his mother into taking Qiao ng back, and what a predicant he had gotten himself into.
