Lin Yue tilted his head toward the inner room: "Follow me."
Qiao Zuwang looked at him, then at Chen Fang who was silent and walked into his room with his hands behind his back.
"Sign this thing."
Lin Yue took out a document from his bag and placed it on the table next to the bed.
Qiao Zuwang took out his reading glasses from the drawer and put them on his eyes. He bent down and read the contents. When he looked at Lin Yue again, his eyes changed. He clicked on the document and said, "You have been waiting for me here, haven't you?"
Lin Yue did not respond to his question and said expressionlessly: "To sign or not to sign?"
"What if I say I won't sign?"
"What are the consequences of not signing? You should know very well."
Qiao Zuwang frowned and pondered for a moment, and finally chose to compromise. He took the pen handed over by Lin Yue and signed his name in the lower right corner of the document.
"Qiao Zuwang, take care of yourself."
Lin Yue put away the documents, opened the door and walked back to the main room. He said to Chen Fang, who was always smiling in front of the coffee table, "You can go to work from now on."
"Brother!"
Qiao Sanli guessed the outcome of this matter, but the psychological threshold was difficult to overcome.
Lin Yue shook his head at her and left with his briefcase.
Qiao Sanli glared at Qiao Zuwang bitterly, then turned and entered her room.
In fact, she knew very well that there was nothing that could be done to stop this kind of thing. When Wei Shufang and Ma Yulin got along, Qi Weiyi and Qi Xiaoya had such a quarrel that they almost severed the relationship between mother and son. But in the end, the two of them were still Have you lived together? Legally speaking, the house in Shamao Lane belongs to Qiao Zuwang, and he is free to live with whomever he wants. If he really makes him anxious, with Qiao Zuwang's temper, he might even kick out his own daughter.
…
year 2004.
The whole city of Nanjing is in panic, and there are far fewer pedestrians on the streets. Even if there are people, they are wearing masks and gloves to cover the places where they can vent their anger.
84 disinfectant, isatis granules, ultraviolet lamps, and medical masks are all out of stock.
It was at such a difficult moment that as soon as Lin Yue came out of the TV station, he saw Qiao Sanli being blocked by the guard.
"What time has it been? You're not staying at home, but you're still running around?" Lin Yue tilted his head towards the back seat and gestured: "Get in the car."
Qiao Sanli opened the car door and got in. As soon as her butt touched the seat, she took off her mask.
"Do I want this? It's not Qiao Zuwang who forced me to do this."
"What did he do to you?"
"He didn't care about me. It was that woman who went home a few days ago and brought her son who had not been admitted to college and said that he wanted to find a job in Nanjing. This is okay, after all, the mother and son work in the same city. It can be regarded as taking care of her, but the crux of the problem is that she actually let her son live in her home. It was the same room that you and your second brother lived in before. Brother, can you imagine opening the door every morning and seeing... how many... Is it embarrassing?”
Lin Yue nodded, in response to Qiao Sanli's question, and also lamenting that the power of the world was at work again. It was already 2004, and the task would end in two years. At the end of the day, he even made a fool of himself.
On the TV was Qu Aying, who brought her son here and then her daughter-in-law. The family played a trick of occupying the magpie's nest and drove Qiao Simei out of the old house. There is no Qu Aying here, but Chen Fang. By coincidence, she also has a son who also has to go to the city to work.
But if you think about it carefully, this kind of plot is reasonable. How many couples in real life can bring the case together? Most of them are making do, especially if the woman has a son, who will definitely take advantage of her husband's family. What's more, Qiao Zuwang is particularly interested in this girl who can sing, dance, and talk.
Is this right? Just look at Qu Lianying in the TV series. With that face and figure, even a man who has been in prison for twenty years and has not seen a woman can’t get hard after seeing it. He wants all that stuff? Qiao Zuwang is really fierce.
But it shouldn't be.
Qiao Sanli is not Qiao Simei, she should be more tolerant.
This question just appeared in his mind, and his beloved sister gave the answer as if he had a clear understanding.
"Two days ago, I got angry because Chen Fang's son was eating and sleeping around and tampering with my things. Afterwards, I went to my dad to reason with him and asked him to get rid of him. But the result? Not only did he not go to Chen Fang to argue, today I came home early and accidentally overheard their conversation. What do you think Chen Fang said about me to her father? She said why I don’t get married, why don’t I want to live separately from my parents like most young people in society. There is one My own nest? That's because I have an Electra complex. If he really does good for me, he should be cruel and kick me out of the house. This way I will spend more time outside and have a greater chance of contacting the opposite sex. Once When you meet someone you like, the rest will fall into place."
Lin Yuexin said that Chen Fangxing was not only eloquent, but also had a sharp mind.
Electra complex?
Electra doesn't exist, but Brother Electra... does.
Qiao Sanli continued: "The key is that Qiao Zuwang really believed it and thought it was so true. He had to find a way to drive me out, otherwise I would lose this card. What's even more annoying is that the two of them were talking With that said, Qiao Zuwang finally wanted to arrange for Chen Fang's son to marry me, and he said don't dislike my age and low education... Brother, I can't stay in this family anymore."
No wonder my sister, who has always been steady, restrained, and virtuous, couldn't bear it any longer. Now she doesn't even call her dad, but calls him by his first name. This would be uncomfortable for anyone.
"I won't go back if I don't go back." Lin Yue said, "Just right, you can live in my one-bedroom apartment from now on."
Qiao Simei and Qiao Sanli originally moved to Baibupo, but later Qiao Zuwang came uninvited and occupied the master bedroom they left for him. After he came back from Beijing, because he wanted to marry Xiang Nannan, the father and daughter moved back to their old house and live together today.
"Brother, I know you are very sad. You don't care about your second brother and Simei anymore, but the old house... Qiao Zuwang..."
"Don't worry, I want to see what tricks those two people are playing."
Qiao Sanli didn't know what he meant by this, but she felt a little at ease out of trust in her elder brother.
…
Two months later.
Lin Yue was having dinner with Xiang Nannan at home, discussing which elementary school to send the two little ones to, when there was a knock on the door.
He walked over and opened the door and saw Qiao Sanli standing in the corridor. She didn't know who she was angry with, but she almost had her displeasure etched on her forehead.
"What's wrong?" He let the person into the room and asked casually: "Have you eaten? Your sister-in-law made sweet and sour pork ribs and fried spring rolls."
"Can't eat it!"
Xiang Nanfang also saw that Qiao Sanli was upset, and asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Look at how you look like a doormat, who bullied you again?"
"Brother, sister-in-law, do you know about Simei giving birth to a baby?"
Lin Yue shook his head.
"Last year she got pregnant with Qi Chenggang shortly after receiving the certificate. She gave birth last month at the city's Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and had a caesarean section. But guess what?"
"..."
"..."
Both of them were speechless, waiting for her to continue.
"From the time when I was hospitalized until the birth of my child, Qi Chenggang stayed with me for one night, and then left on the pretext of being busy with work, leaving the care of Qiao Simei to Qi Weimin and Chang Xingyu. My cousin and my cousin-in-law both She had her own job and children to take care of, so the couple spent all their energy on her. The second aunt over there was in poor health and needed someone to take care of her. As soon as she saw that it was troublesome, she called me and asked me to take care of her. I went to take care of Simei, but I didn’t agree to what you said. She had no choice but to run to find Qiao Zuwang. She didn’t know what kind of ecstasy soup Chen Fang poured into him, but the old man actually agreed and brought Qiao Simei back. Confinement period, it doesn’t matter if she goes back, Qi Chenggang will also move there."
Lin Yue said: "You mean, you can't go back now even if you want to?"
Xiang Nanfang looked at her husband and finally understood why he wanted to have less contact with the Qiao family - the old man who was obsessed with sex, Qiao Erqiang who took the blame for love, Qiao Sanli who was determined not to marry, and she was looking down on herself. The cheap Qiao Simei, and the foster Qiao Qiqi, with such complicated backgrounds and relationships, if she were to plunge headlong into them, she would definitely not get good results.
Qiao Sanli said: "Yesterday I went back and saw that Qi Chenggang and Qiao Simei had moved into my original room. What...why?"
Yes, she has Qiao Yicheng's one-bedroom apartment, which is more spacious than her home, and she is sure that her eldest brother will not drive her away, even if she lives there for the rest of her life. But it's one thing to live outside, and it's another thing to be kicked out like this. She really can't swallow this breath. Qiao Zuwang is her biological father. Among the five children of the Qiao family, she is the most well-behaved and the best. She was the most filial person to him, but now she was bullying her like this because of Chen Fang.
