Ever since Liu Yingying was hospitalized due to fetal abnormalities, Qiao Man did not hesitate to visit her in the hospital.
However, she felt relieved after learning from her father that she needed to stay in the hospital for another week for observation.
Now she should still be recovering in the hospital, but she suddenly contacted her. Is it for the bride price again?
When she thought of the word "betrothal gift", Qiao Man didn't want to answer the call.
But if she doesn't answer, it's very likely that Liu Yingying or Qiao's mother will come to the company directly to find her. Both of them can do this kind of thing.
Qiao Man put down her chopsticks and answered the phone: "What's the matter?"
"Manman, have you eaten? How have you been at work recently? Are you tired?" Liu Yingying's voice was full of laughter, her attitude changed drastically, and she asked for help.
Qiao Man's pupils trembled. She subconsciously took the phone from her ear and looked at the phone number displayed on the screen. It was indeed Liu Yingying's.
The voice was also hers, but these words...
Was it her sister-in-law who could say that? She doesn't believe it!
Is she dreaming?
Qiao Man was still in disbelief. Liu Yingying on the other side didn't get a reply after talking for a long time. She was a little unhappy, but she didn't show it. Instead, she raised her voice: "Hello? Man Man, are you listening? I have something important. Let me tell you."
Her voice brought Qiao Man's thoughts back to her mind instantly: "Say."
She frowned slightly, there must be a reason for Liu Yingying's sudden change of attitude.
"Mom feels sorry for your hard work and is going to cook a big meal for you tonight. Come back for dinner tonight." Liu Yingying said with a smile, sounding full of kindness.
Qiao Man looked incredulous: "Are you kidding?"
Could it be that Liu Yingying developed a new routine?
Liu Yingying chuckled, feeling very happy: "When have I ever joked with you? Do you know that you will come back after get off work? Mom has already gone out to buy groceries, buy your favorite food."
Suspicion flashed in Qiao Man's eyes, but she didn't quite believe her words: "No, I have to go home tonight."
"Isn't the Qiao family also your home? If not, you can just bring Xiao Fu over."
Liu Yingying's words made Qiao Man immediately wary. She would not be able to take Fu Shaoting home until she explained clearly about the bride price.
She didn't want him to suffer the same insult and contemptuous attitude again.
Even if Fu Shaoting didn't care, she did, and she was ashamed of it.
"No need, I'll go back after get off work." Qiao Man knew that if she didn't agree, Liu Yingying would definitely not let him go.
It seems she has been discharged from the hospital.
"Okay, I'll ask mom to prepare dinner in advance." Liu Yingying hung up the phone after saying that.
Qiao Man was full of doubts and wonders. The last time Liu Yingying had such a good attitude towards her was when she learned that she had bought a house in Longcheng.
When she first brought her parents and brother to live in her house, Liu Yingying's attitude was still very good. Later, she began to covet the money for the house, and her attitude gradually changed, and it became even worse after she became pregnant.
Qiao Man felt that the reason why she changed her attitude so much and asked her to go home was probably because of the one-million-dollar gift.
She was mentally prepared and would never agree.
Time flies so fast, and it’s time to get off work in a blink of an eye.
Qiao Man turned off her computer and left the company with her bag. On the way to Qiao's house by taxi, she called Fu Shaoting: "My sister-in-law called and asked me to go home. There are dumplings and steamed buns I made before in the kitchen, frozen in the refrigerator." Here, if you and Chenchen want to eat something else, I can order it for you."
"Don't worry about us. Do you need me to accompany you back?" Fu Shaoting asked.
Qiao Man refused without hesitation, and her tone was firm: "No, I will go back soon."
If Mother Qiao and Liu Yingying brought up the wedding gift again, she would turn away and leave. This would not cause Liu Yingying to get pregnant or make her very angry. Perfect.
"Okay, pay attention to safety." Fu Shaoting guessed that this time she would not be troubled by the Qiao family again when she went back.
Soon, Qiao Man returned to Qiao's house.
When she opened the door and entered the room, the aroma of food penetrated her nose. Her favorite sweet and sour pork ribs and sweet and sour fish were already on the table.
Qiao Man walked in and found that the dining table was filled with sumptuous dishes, radiating heat.
Qiao's mother is cooking in the kitchen, and Qiao's father is helping.
Qiao Teng was busy serving dishes, while Liu Yingying, a pregnant woman, was sitting on the sofa eating fruit.
Seeing Qiao Man's return, Liu Yingying's eyes suddenly lit up, and a bright smile appeared on her face: "Oh, Manman is back, hurry up and cook, Mom will cook two more dishes and everything will be done."
Liu Yingying's enthusiasm made Qiao Man wary and curious. What was going on? Can she make her sister-in-law change her attitude towards her?
She was completely different from the aggressive person she had been when we met before.
Qiao Man came to the sofa and sat down calmly. Qiao Teng came out with the dishes. When he saw Qiao Man, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "My sister is back. The table is full of things I just washed." Fresh fruit, please eat some.”
Qiao Teng's attitude made Qiao Man glance at him strangely and nodded hesitantly.
Her brother had actually been kind to her since she was a child. There was not much age difference between the two of them, but Qiao's mother had been partial to Qiao Teng since she was a child, so her brother had always been domineering at home.
But I have never felt sorry for her. It's just like forgetting your mother when you have a daughter-in-law. After marrying Liu Yingying, her sister became a piece of grass on the roadside that everyone stepped on casually, and no one cared about it.
When the second boss in the kitchen heard the sound, Mother Qiao immediately put the spatula into Father Qiao's hand, came out of the kitchen, and said to Qiao Man with a smile: "Man Man, what mom bought today are all your favorite dishes. I’ll cook it myself, so you can eat more later.”
The attitude of her brother and sister-in-law was enough to surprise Qiao Man, but her mother Qiao's smile shocked her even more.
Did they take the wrong medicine?
Qiao Man really didn't know what answer to use to interpret their strange attitude.
"Mom, sister-in-law, what do you have to say to me? Do you want me to come back? Are you cooking for me?" Qiao Man glanced at the two of them and asked bluntly.
Mother Qiao patted Qiao Man's arm and said in a friendly tone: "You kid, can't I just ask you to come back for dinner if nothing happens? Do you really want to be the one who throws the water away?"
"I'm your biological mother. What's wrong with asking you to come back and cook a meal for you? Besides, you're already married, so your mother's family will always be your backing, so that Xiaofu won't bully you." Qiao said in a serious voice.
Mother Qiao's light slap made all the hair on Qiao Man's body stand up and her heart felt hairy.
What exactly is going on?
In the past, Mother Qiao would never slap her with such a light force. Every time she hit her hard, it would leave a slap mark.
What's more, weren't they the ones who bullied and mocked Fu Shaoting before?
"What's wrong with you? What happened?" Qiao Man asked more and more strangely.
It shouldn't be a bad thing, otherwise they would all be laughing happily.
