Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Our Family Doesn't Keep Heartless Ingrates Like That

Mrs. Qiao, Wu Lening, tightened her grip on her daughter's hand after hearing her words, and Qiao Yaozu's expression turned extremely ugly.

"Sister-in-law Li's mistake was unintentional. Even if she hasn't contributed much, she's worked hard in the Qiao Family. Firing her like this will chill people's hearts!" Qian Mentao said with a sneer.

"No one can fire Sister-in-law Li! If anyone's leaving, it's you!" Old Mrs. Qiao's chest heaved violently.

Sister-in-law Li genuinely regretted it now because Qiao Qiqi had said, whose salary pays you, all Qiao Family expenses are covered by Second Master!

No matter how capable the Old Lady or the Lady of the house were, they hadn't paid her salary.

Now she truly regretted it. Her family's conditions were average, while the Qiao Family offered good treatment and high wages. If she lost this job, her family wouldn't know what to do.

Qiao Yun'er and Qiao Yue'er watched with amusement. As long as Sister-in-law Li stayed, Qiao Qiqi would have even less status in the home.

"Since Grandma and Aunt think a servant who insults the master can stay, fine. From now on, the two of you can pay Sister-in-law Li's salary. After all, my dad won't pay it anymore! Our family doesn't keep such ungrateful wolves!"

Qiao Qiqi nonchalantly said something that instantly changed everyone's expressions. Sister-in-law Li's face turned ghostly pale.

Making the Old Lady and the Lady of the house pay her salary—those two were notoriously stingy and would never willingly pay her wages, even though her salary wouldn't cover even one meal for them.

"You wretched girl, I'm still alive!" Old Mrs. Qiao shouted, pointing at Qiao Qiqi.

Qiao Qiqi didn't even glance at the old hag. She leaned on her mother's shoulder and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm dizzy and want to go inside to rest."

"Alright, alright, take the child to rest first. Aunt Zhang, call the family doctor to give Qiqi a thorough check-up." Wu Lening was also a bit upset. Qiqi was her biological daughter, but her mother-in-law's attitude did not treat her as family.

Since they returned, the child had been avoiding the couple, which had left them distressed. At this moment, being indulged by her, the couple was somewhat delighted, and Qiao hurriedly supported his daughter inside.

The remaining angry crowd watched, their chests heaving, with eyes that wished they could tear Qiao Qiqi apart!

"Old Madam, Lady, I..." Sister-in-law Li looked at the two with a pale face.

"I don't have money to pay you, so hurry up and leave! If you want to blame someone, blame that Qiao Qiqi! Your firing has nothing to do with us!" Old Mrs. Qiao said and turned to go inside.

Suddenly being snapped at by this not-so-distant granddaughter, she was furious. This scourge must not remain in the Qiao Family!

Qiao Yun'er was also a bit shocked. She quickly looked at Qiao Yue'er beside her and said, "Did Second Uncle and Second Aunt take the wrong medicine? How dare they defy Grandma for that bastard child?!"

"Cousin, Mom and Dad care for Qiqi. After all, she's their biological daughter." Qiao Yue'er looked pained and dejected.

"Ugh, as if she deserves it! A wild thing from the countryside. Don't worry, Yue'er; we're all on your side. Just watch how I deal with her in a bit!" Qiao Yun'er angrily glared at Qiao Qiqi going upstairs.

Qiao Qiqi returned to her room as the family doctor came to check on her health.

"Mom, Dad, I'm really fine. It's just a minor injury. I want to take a bath first; I feel uncomfortable." Qiao Qiqi truly felt uncomfortable; the feeling of being locked in an underground room, filthy and crawling with lice from a past life, still lingered, making her wish she could peel off a layer of her skin.
