While Qiao zhiqing was still mentally calculating the probability that her 88-pound weight would stop the other party, Qin Huai had already strode up and blocked the doorway.
When Ma Guizhi met that gloomy, handsome face, she immediately felt a chill run down her spine.
She didn't know what was going on. Ever since Qin Huai was 5 years old, she had subconsciously felt scared whenever she saw that handsome face.
But the aroma in the room seemed to have a hook, luring the worms in her stomach. Even though she had just eaten dinner at home, her stomach was still rumbling from the enticement.
Seeing that Qin Huai hadn't blocked the door completely and there was still room on the left, Ma Guizhi immediately took a step to the left.
Qin Huai's long legs immediately took a step to the left.
Ma Guizhi's face stiffened, and she immediately took another step to the right
This time, Qin Huai didn't need to go back; Qiao zhiqing had already blocked the right side.
Of course, even if she didn't try to block the way, Ma Guizhi, with her 200-pound frame, wouldn't have been able to squeeze in at all.
But Qiao zhiqing was afraid that she would see the food on the table, so she immediately asked, "Is there something you need?"
She had already learned the identities of the three people through the original owner's memories: the Qin family's old lady Cui Fengzhen and her eldest son Qin Jiefang, and the 200-pound fat woman was Qin Jiefang's wife Ma Guizhi.
The three of them and Lu Xiufen are birds of a feather; they are all insatiable.
"Of course we have something to say.
We just heard from the villagers that Qin Huai got his marriage certificate, so we came to congratulate him!" Ma Guizhi looked at Qiao zhiqing's fair and delicate face, a flash of jealousy quickly crossing her eyes.
No wonder everyone in the village said that Team Leader Qiao's daughter is a famous beauty in the surrounding area. Now that you see her up close, her skin is as smooth as a peeled boiled egg. I'm so jealous!
Knowing who the other person was, Qiao zhiqing naturally wouldn't give them a friendly look.
She looked down at their empty hands and sneered, "This is the first time I've heard of someone coming to offer congratulations empty-handed. How interesting."
Ma Guizhi immediately exploded, "How dare you talk to me like that? I'm your elder, is this how you talk to your elders?"
Qiao zhiqing was about to speak when Qin Huai interrupted her.
"Aunt, Qingqing and I will be having our wedding after the autumn harvest, and we will definitely invite you then. But today we're just having a family meal, so it's not convenient to entertain everyone. If you're not busy, please head back first!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Guizhi immediately turned around and grabbed Fengzhen's arm, beginning to sow discord, "Mother, did you hear that? It's no good if it's not your own child. You hide the good food from us, afraid that we'll go in and have a bite."
She then shouted into the house, "Qin Baojun, I know you're in there. Don't pretend you didn't hear me. Look at this little bastard you picked up from outside. Listen to how he talks to his mother! Let me tell you, even if you've separated from the family and moved out, you still have an obligation to support your mother. You can't just ignore it!"
"When did I say I wouldn't care? I've been paying every penny of alimony every month."
Qin Baojun appeared at the door, leaning on his cane. Seeing that Ma Guizhi was clearly there to stir up trouble, his good mood instantly plummeted, and his face turned ashen.
When Ma Guizhi saw that he had finally come out, she immediately turned around and nudged Qin Jiefang's arm, signaling him to speak.
Qin Jiefang's appearance is completely different from Qin Baojun's. He has droopy eyebrows, triangular eyes, and his face looks like it was peeled off from Cui Fengzhen's face. He also exudes a cowardly aura.
After being pinched several times by Ma Guizhi, he finally said in a muffled voice, "You tell me yourself, I won't."
"You good-for-nothing!"
Seeing that she couldn't count on him, Ma Guizhi immediately turned around and said arrogantly to the people inside the house, "You think giving some money will solve everything? Let me tell you, I'm the one who takes care of Mother's every need, from eating and drinking to going to the toilet, when she's sick, or when she has a headache or fever. I can't go out to work because of taking care of Mother, and I earn twenty or thirty yuan less a month. You have the nerve to ask for that five yuan in alimony? So I'm here today to tell you that starting next month, the alimony will increase to ten yuan."
"Ma Guizhi, you're talking nonsense!"
Wang Guihua was never one to back↑ down. Initially, she didn't want to argue witnMa Guizhi because her in-laws were present, but seeing that Ma Guizhi had gone too far, she immediately shouted angrily, "You can't go to work, it's clearly because you're lazy! You use taking care of your five-year-old child at home as an excuse not to work, it's not for taking care of the old lady at all!"
A fleeting look of guilt crossed Ma Guizhi's eyes, and she immediately turned to Cui Fengzhen, continuing her attempt to sow discord.
"Mother, do you see what I told you?
They took the initiative to separate from the family so that they could secretly eat good food behind our backs after they left. They don't care about your life or death for a bastard they picked up. Qin Baojun is supposed to be a soldier, yet he did such an unfilial thing."
Upon hearing Ma Guizhi's words, Cui Fengzhen immediately glared angrily at the culprit behind all this and raised her cane to strike Qin Huai.
Qiao zhiqing was startled and immediately rushed forward.
But Wang Guihua beat her to it, grabbing the cane and shouting sternly, "Don't push your luck!"
Wang Guihua is strong, but not like Ma Guizhi, who is bloated and fat. Instead, she has a muscular build from years of working in the fields.
At this moment, the smile disappeared from that festive face, and his imposing manner was no less than that of Qin Huai.
"A person should have a conscience!
After Baojun and I separated, Qin Huai and Guodong (Qin Huai's younger brother, Wang Guihua and Qin Baojun's biological son) were still young. Although I gave you 2 yuan a month for support, it was hard to make money back then!"
"To scrape together these two yuan for you, our family of four has been eating tree bark and drinking wild vegetable soup year after year. We haven't even had a sip of corn porridge."
"Later, when things got a little better, you raised the alimony to 3 yuan. When Qin Huai was 10 years old and started working in the fields, you raised it to 5 yuan."
"For so many years, I've paid you on the first day of every month without fail. Go ask around and see who else does what we do?"
Wang Guihua glared hatefully at Ma Guizhi's greedy and ugly face: "Since you think we haven't given enough, why don't you call the whole village together to judge this? I want to ask you, if this is considered unfilial, then what is?"
Ma Guizhi trembled and instinctively hid behind Cui Fengzhen, but still retorted unwillingly, "That's your choice. Who told you to raise a stray child you picked up? If you didn't raise him, wouldn't you..." have more money to support your mother?
"Enough!"
Before Ma Guizhi could finish speaking, Qin Baojun suddenly roared.
Qin Baojun had never felt so frustrated in his life, as the arrival of these three people.had turned his joyous day into a chaotic mess.
He looked up at Qiao Weiguo and his wife and Qiao zhiqing with an apologetic expression, "I'm sorry, I made you laugh."
As the village group leader, Qiao Weiguo already knew about Qin Baojun's family situation, but seeing it with his own eyes now...
This really pushes the boundaries.
He raised his hand and patted Qin Baojun on the shoulder. "Brother, I know you've had a tough life. If you need my help, like getting the whole village to come and settle this matter, I'd be happy to help."
Qin Baojun was stunned for a moment.
Qiao zhiqing stood behind and laughed, glancing at Cui Fengzhen and Ma Guizhi's guilty expressions, her eyes slightly narrowed.
I originally thought that having Lu Xiufen in my family was already quite an achievement, but after meeting Qin Huai's aunt and grandmother, I realized that I still lacked experience.
She couldn't help but look to her sideand saw that Qin Huai remained silent with a cold expression.
Suddenly, she quietly reached out her small hand and grasped his large hand.
