Chapter 017: Whitewashing
"Do you dare to pat your chest and swear with your conscience that you didn't keep my money secret?" Hu Meiqin asked coldly.
If you swear that you can really be struck by lightning? Liu Fang didn't believe this, and was about to pat her chest and swear, but Hu Meiqin didn't give her a chance.
"When I first married into Qiao's family, I really wanted to live a good life with Jing Lin. Mom, do you remember what you said at that time? Hu Meiqin's eyes fell on Grandma Hu, and Grandma Hu avoided it uncomfortably.
"You say that men are unreliable, just like Liu Tiezhu, who usually looks very good, but can do anything for himself at a critical time. You said that the only thing a woman can rely on in this life is her mother's family, so ask me to get the Qiao family's money back and save it for me, in case Jing Lin is sorry for our mother and daughter in the future, I still have pension money in my hand.
"I believe your words, I have taken money from my mother's family all these years, and I have taken nothing less every time I come back, but in the end, you and your sister-in-law actually said with a clear conscience that I have never taken money from home. Mom, am I your daughter......"
After speaking, Hu Meiqin cried sadly again.
Half of this was true, and the other half she couldn't say, and if she said it was true, she couldn't get anything back.
She is three years older than Qiao Jinglin, her appearance is not outstanding, and she is not a capable person. Liu Tiezhu's crooked melons and cracked dates are still unreliable, let alone outstanding ones like Qiao Jinglin.
In addition, Grandma Qiao looked down on her, she felt that she might not stay in Qiao's house for long, and she might be driven away by Qiao's family at some point.
For the sake of herself and her daughter's future life, she accepted her mother's mention and began to pour Qiao Laosi's hard-earned money into her parents' house.
However, after sleeping in a bed with Qiao Jinglin for so many years, no matter how cold and hard his heart is, he will be covered by Qiao Jinglin's knowledge of cold and heat and complete trust.
If there is no such thing as Grandma Qiao's sudden request for housing money and pension money this year, she plans not to put the money in her parents' house, build a new house in the spring after the year, and live with Qiao Jinglin in a down-to-earth manner in the future.
But she didn't expect everything to rush together, and in the end she was afraid that she would end up unflattering to both sides.
The Hu family cried endlessly, Qiao Jinglin never spoke, his face was tense, his eyes were complicated, and Qiao Mingle couldn't guess what he was thinking.
It wasn't until Hu Meiqin, who really couldn't break his mother and sister-in-law, knelt in front of him, grabbed his trouser leg and begged him for forgiveness, that his expression changed slightly.
He is not a ruthless person in the first place, after all, Hu Meiqin has lived with him for so many years, how can she not have feelings. In addition, Hu Meiqin's self-whitewashing rhetoric just now couldn't find any flaws, and he already believed seven or eight points.
"Hey", after a long while, Qiao Jinglin let out a long sigh, didn't say anything, and turned around to start the car.
Qiao Mingle knew the meaning of his sigh, and couldn't help but sigh along. just spit out this breath, she felt relaxed in her heart, cut off Hu Meiqin's back road, and let her break up with her mother's family, she will live with Qiao Jinglin wholeheartedly in the future.
As for whether Hu Meiqin will have bad thoughts about her in the future, Qiao Mingle is not worried at all, if she dares to make it bad, she will dare to clean it up, and she will not dare to make it bad again!
Hu Meiqin also understood what Qiao Jinglin meant, got up and followed up, and called Liu Xiuxiu, who was already scared, and the group went home.
There was nothing to say all the way, and after arriving home, Hu Meiqin followed Qiao Jinglin into the east house, the door was closed tightly, and the voice was very small, Qiao Mingle couldn't listen to it if she wanted to.
Liu Xiuxiu hasn't slowed down yet, she cried all the way, and now she is lying on the kang and shedding tears.
Seeing that it was almost noon and there was no lunch at home, Qiao Mingle went to Qiao's old house.
Kang Chuxiu was also there, talking to Grandpa Qiao. Qiao Mingle glanced at him several times, always feeling that something was wrong with him, but he couldn't think of anything wrong.
"What are you doing with Chu Xiu? Such a big girl is not ashamed! Grandma Joe unceremoniously slapped her on the arm to draw her attention.
At the same time, it also drew the attention of Grandpa Qiao and Kang Chuxiu.
Grandpa Qiao grinned, Kang Chuxiu was a little embarrassed, his white face was slightly flushed, and he stretched out his head uncomfortably, and turned his eyes away from Qiao Mingle.
Qiao Mingle suddenly pointed to Kang Chuxiu's head, "You have washed your hair, no wonder I think you are different." ”
Not only should I have washed my hair, but my hands, face and neck seem to have been washed, and it looks much more refreshing than a few days ago.
Kang Chuxiu snorted lightly, "I'm still taking a bath!" ”
"How did you wash it?" Qiao Mingle asked curiously.
Actually, she also wanted to take a bath, and she wanted to wash it since she came back from rebirth. She has lice on her body, and she feels itchy all over her body every day, scratching her heart and liver.
"Use that big iron basin in your house, you are not here in the morning, I will boil water and wash it myself", Kang Chuxiu replied proudly.
Oops, how could she not have thought of it!
"What kind of bath to take on this cold day, go to the river to wash when it's hot", Grandma Qiao disagreed.
There is a big river not far from Beigou Village, the riverbed is very wide, but not too deep, one side is cultivated land, and the other side is a cement road, which is the only way to go to the county. In summer, when the weather is hot, the river is particularly lively, many people are bathing in the river, and the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law also go to wash, but generally find a secret place to sentry a few people to wash.
Now it is at least four or five months before she can go to the big river to bathe in the summer, can she endure it for so long? She couldn't take it!
With a plan in her heart, she no longer dwelled on this question, and instead asked Grandma Qiao with a smile, "Grandma, why don't you ask me why I came back so early?" ”
With her begging look, Grandma Qiao knew that what she had told her to do earlier had been done.
"You monkey cub, tell grandma what's going on," Grandma Qiao urged.
Qiao Mingle didn't sell Guan Zi anymore, leaned into her grandmother's ear, and told her what happened in the Hu family today.
Of course, when she spoke, she hid her excitement and pleasure, with a look of fear and horror, and finally asked in a daze: "Grandma, grandma and my mother, who said it is true?" Will my dad beat my mom? ”
"No", Grandma Qiao affirmed: "Your dad has never done anything with others since he was so big, and he is so big."
That being said, Grandma Qiao was smiling and obviously in a very happy mood.
"Lele, you don't have to worry about these things in the future, just study hard. Seeing that you should go to junior high school, let your dad send you to the county, the county middle school is good", grandma patted her hand and said expectantly.
Yes, now that Hu Meiqin's matter has been resolved, it is time to solve her study matter.
