Now that it has been decided to keep Qiao Qiqi, this matter must not only be reached within the Qiao family, but also must be explained to the Qi family.
After all, they had raised Qiao Qiao for 773 years. Although they were the ones who originally sent the child back, they did so as a last resort, and it was only Wei Shufen's unilateral opinion, a decision made behind the backs of Qi Ziqiang and Qi Weimin.
After Wei Shufen heard the news and changed her mind, the Qi family wanted to take their child back again.
But Qiao Yicheng disagreed now. Qiao Zuwang's willingness was his business. Anyway, Qiao Yicheng would not give up any of his younger siblings, so Qi Weimin simply came to the door with the three of them this time to discuss a result with them. .
But when they came this time, they discovered that in addition to the six people here, Qiao Zuwang and his son, there was another person who did not belong to the Qiao family.
Qi Weimin recognized it at a glance. Isn't this the boy who claimed to be Sanli's classmate that he met when he came to Qiqi that day?
What is his relationship with the Qiao family, that he is here at this time?
Qi Zhiqiang originally thought that Li Yong might just come over temporarily to play, but he didn't expect that when they planned to discuss it, Li Yong hadn't left yet.
Because Li Yong's identity had already been introduced, it made him even more confused. He just glanced at Qiao Zuwang and Qiao Yicheng and saw that there was no strange color on their faces, so he could only suppress the doubts in his heart for the time being. Said: "So, what do you think?
"I think that's it. You see, Qiqi is already familiar with our family, and Qiao Zuwang's burden on you is no longer light. Let Qiqi go back with us..."
He spoke very slowly and his tone was very soft. He didn't look like he had been a soldier, but more like a scholar.
Qiao Zuwang hummed, glanced at Li Yong, and said nothing.
He was also wondering why Qiao Yicheng called this kid over, causing him to have a psychological burden on whatever he wanted to say now.
Touching the back of his head, where there was still the bump that was knocked out by Li Yong last time, he decided to just act like a mute so that he wouldn't say the wrong thing.
Little did they know that Qiao Yicheng called Li Yong here just to calm him down. Of course, this was also Li Yong's own intention.
Qiao Zuwang couldn't speak, but Qiao Yicheng said at this time: "Uncle, our family is indeed in a bit of a difficult situation, but after all, Qiqi is a child of the Qiao family and my younger brother. While he is still young and can't remember much, I I think we should let him live with us.
"Of course, I know that you have spent a lot of money taking care of Qiqi in the past two or three years, especially for his illness. We don't have the conditions yet, but if you can make a list, I will definitely do it when I have money in the future. I'll give it back to you as ordered."
Some of this was taught to him by Li Yong. Qiao Yicheng himself felt that it was not good to say this and seemed very unhuman, but in the end he still said it according to the model Li Yong gave him.
Wei Shufen raised her eyebrows. As expected, she was not happy about what she heard and said, "What do you mean by this? Are we here for money?"
Although without the request of Qi Zhiqiang and Qi Weimin, if Qiao Qiqi really had polio, she would never come here again, but she still had to make it clear for the sake of face.
Qiao Yicheng glanced at Wei Shufen. He didn't have a good impression of this second aunt. When his mother just died, Qiao Zuwang finally found out that he had made a red tent for the funeral. As a result, Wei Shufen because Qiao Zuwang took Na Shun away without paying back the money.
In addition, in his impression, this second aunt seems to want to compare with his mother at all times. If his attitude towards Qi Zhiqiang is "It would be great if he was my father," then what he wants is his mother and Qi Zhiqiang. together.
Anyway, according to the gossipy neighbors at my mother's funeral, my second uncle and my mother were originally a couple, but I don't know why they didn't get together in the end.
If they were together, if they still had themselves, how happy would he be?
Qi Zhiqiang hurriedly pulled his wife, and then glanced at Qiao Zuwang, who looked strange, and seemed to realize that this matter was due to Qiao Yicheng's persistence and had nothing to do with Qiao Zuwang.
But he never thought of using Qiao Zuwang as a breakthrough, and still wanted to persuade Qiao Yicheng. After all, this child had been burdened with so much since childhood, and he felt sorry for him, "Yicheng, you are in high school now, your studies are heavy, and you have to live on campus. The family can’t take care of it, Qiqi is still young, who do you expect to take care of her?”
He didn't mention Qiao Zuwang either. Anyway, everyone knew tacitly that they couldn't count on Qiao Zuwang in this kind of matter.
If not for this, why would they have wanted to take Qiao Qiqi back in the first place?
Although Qiao Qiqi has been diagnosed as not having polio, his body bones are still very weak and he is still young. Someone must always be by his side to watch over him. Qiao Zuwang can't do it, and Qiao Yicheng is not here. How can he expect Qiao Er to be strong?
Qi Zhiqiang is not a talkative person, but he knows that in this matter, his wife has something bad to do first. What she did before was just like abandoning the child.
That is to say, Qiqi is still young and the impression may not be too deep, otherwise it may leave a psychological shadow.
So we made an agreement before coming here this time, and let him do the talking.
Qi Weimin finally stood up at this time and said: "Uncle, Yicheng, I know you must also think about Qiqi. He is used to living in our house now. Will he be able to adapt to a sudden change of place for him? And my dad As I said, the burden on your family is already heavy..."
At this time, Li Yong suddenly interrupted: "To be fair, the burden on your Qi family is not light. After all, Qiao Qiqi is the child of the Qiao family, and it makes no sense for you to take care of her all the time. And now the Qiao family has the ability to take good care of him, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
"Who are you? Why are you talking about the Qiao family's affairs?" Seeing that her husband and son were both blocked by Li Yong's words, Wei Shufen was a little unhappy and disliked Li Yong.
Li Yong also disliked her, glanced at her and said: "I heard that Qiqi had polio before, so he sent him back without saying a word. At that time, three years of nurturing relationship was nothing. Now from We here know that he no longer has polio, so we want to take him back.
"What do you think of the child? Is it a commodity that you can send around? I used to dislike the Qiao family for not taking on the responsibility of raising the child. Now the Qiao family is willing to raise the child and wants to stand on the moral high ground. You’ve been raising me for three years, hasn’t Qiao Zuwang given me living expenses?”
Since it was time to talk about business, Qiao Erqiang and his younger brothers and sisters naturally stayed away for the time being, including Qiao Qiqi, the person involved, and specially asked them to go to Aunt Wu's house next door to have some fun, so Li Yong was not worried about being listened to if he said such things. arrive.
When Qiao Zuwang heard this, his expression suddenly became unnatural, but Wei Shufen jumped three feet high and said, "I still have the nerve to ask for living expenses. Except for the first two months, I haven't paid them on time since then. I've defaulted on it so many times. Even one year's living expenses have not been paid in three years.
"We don't care about this anymore, not to mention the medical expenses. It adds up to seven or seven hundred and eighty-eight dollars. Qiao Zuwang said to you, where did you get the money to give us?"
Wei Shufen said and stared at Qiao Zuwang, while Li Yong and Qiao Yicheng also stared at him.
Damn it, why did you pull your crotch at the critical moment?
