Chapter 104
Qiao Family and Luo family found a scooter and asked them to transport the things to the capital's teacher college.
Because the college stopped enrolling students for ten years, Qiao Dong He and the others were the first batch of students. When they came over, the campus seemed a little deserted and a little run down.
However, the campus was lush with trees. Pretty decent air condition. After slowly tidying it, the scenery will definitely become more and more beautiful.
There were ten people living in one dorm room. When Qiao Dong He went over, there were already three or four people in the dorm.
Seeing Qiao Dong He, some people took the initiative to give greeting. While some people silently wait and watch.
Qiao Dong He smilingly and quietly greeted everyone. Afterward, she made the bed with her grandmother.
Da Qiao also ran up and down to help.
The eyes of the few people in the dormitory fell on Da Qiao.
Their family looked like they were from the countryside, but their skin seems to be a little too fair. Especially the little girl. She looked prettier than the city people. Her skin was as white and tender as a peeled egg. Truly made people.
A tall and short-haired girl asked Qiao Dong He, "Is that your younger sister who ran out to fetch water?"
Qiao Dong He nodded: "It's my younger cousin sister."
When another pretty girl heard this, she made a snarky remark, "No wonder you guys don't look alike at all. Your younger cousin sister is very good-looking."
The underlying meaning was that Qiao Dong He didn't look pretty.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Dong He wasn't angry. Instead the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened: "That's right. I also think my younger sister is very good-looking!"
That pretty girl took the smile and was speechless. She pouted her lips and turned away without saying a word.
The short-haired girl winked at Qiao Dong He and grinne.
Qiao Dong He curved her lips in acknowledgement.
Although she didn't like arguing with people, it didn't mean that she was stupid. She naturally heard the sarcasm in the beautiful girl's words. If the other party want to use this to provoke her, then she was doomed to fail.
Others may be unhappy when they heard this kind of comment, but she won't. In her opinion, Younger Sister Da Qiao was prettier than herself. Not only was she not jealous, but instead felt honored.
Qiao Xiu Zhi and Xue Chuan heard the sly snips among the girls. They didn't plan to help though.
Qiao Dong He was almost an adult. In the future, she will live alone outside. She must learn to interact with all kinds of people. This was a lesson she must learn.
After packing up, everyone started walking around the campus because it wasn't time to eat yet.
Da Qiao hook her cousin's arm and spoke, "Elder Cousin Sister, the capital is really different. When I get admitted to college in the capital, I will be able to come and be your company!"
Knowing that her younger sister was comforting her, Qiao Dong He's heart felt warmed up: "Okay, I'll wait for you to come!"
This you included the other siblings.
But now it seem that among the big ones, only Da Qiao was likely to be admitted to the capital.
Qiao Dong Ying, An Ping, and Dong Lin were either not interested in studying or their brains weren't very good. In short, it would be hard to get admitted to the capital.
After walking around the campus, they were going to find a place to eat. Just at they walked to the entrance, they ran into Luo Family again.
Da Qiao got roast duck chanted into her mind by her elder cousin brother after a few days. Now that food was mentioned, her first thought was roast duck.
"How can one not eat roast duck when coming to the capital? Dad, aren't I right?"
Luo Jun Liang was a foodie. As soon as Da Qiao mentioned roast duck, his mouth immediately salivates. While talking, he looked at his dad with piercing eyes and crazily hinted.
How could Luo Qing not know his son? Amused, he shook his head: "If you want to eat, just say it!"
First, Luo Qing wanted to have further interactions with Qiao Family. Secondly, Luo Family had some wealth and eating roast duck was within their budget. So he never thought of objecting.
Hearing his dad's response, Luo Jun Liang rubbed the back of his head and laughed. His white teeth shone brightly in the sun.
The group went out to inquire with passers-by and heard that Quanjude's roast duck was the most famous. It was a time-honored brand established during Tongzhi's reign in the Qing Dynasty. With this, everyone set off and walked towards Quanjude.
When the reached Quanjude, there were quite a lot of people coming to eat, but not enough to queue up.
As soon as they entered the store, the smell of roast duck wafted through their nostrils and made everyone drool. It seemed that the passerby didn't lie to them.
After sitting down and looking at the price list, everyone was a little stunned.
A roast duck cost nine yuan!
Currently an employee's salary was about 30 yuan. One duck wiped out almost one-third of this. This price was unordinary expensive!
Luo Jun Liang scratched his ears and commented, "Did these duck grow up on gold?"
Otherwise, why was it so expensive?
Da Qiao also found it expensive and whispered, "Grandmother, how about we don't eat it? Just go and casually choose something else to eat."
Just to eat noodles or something. With four people, it was less than two yuan and it guaranteed to be filling. This duck cost nine yuan. What's more, it was definitely not enough for everyone. Too dear!
Qiao Xiu Zhi replied: "It's fine. Since we're already here, let's order it. Grandmother can still afford it!"
Luo Qing quickly interjected: "Don't worry, little niece. Uncle treating you to eat this meal!"
Qiao Family naturally wouldn't let Luo Family treat. In the end, everyone didn't leave.
They ordered a roast duck with other stuff as accompaniments.
When the roast duck was served, everyone saw that the roast duck's full of color; bright as red jujube. The fragrant, flavorful smell hit the nose. Paired with sweet bean sauce and mashed garlic, it was crispy, fresh, and tender.
No wonder one roast duck cost nine yuan. Just the taste alone, it was really worth it!
While eating, Da Qiao whispered to her grandfather: "Grandfather, if you made, can you make it better than them?"
Xue Chuan merrily looked at his granddaughter and answered, "Grandfather's skill would be slightly worst."
This was an ancestral secret recipe. Atime-honored brand with more than 100 years. No matter how conceited, Xue Chuan wouldn't dare to spout nonsense on other people's territory.
After a meal of roast duck, everyone had their lips full of oil; though they found it pricey, the savor the deliciousness.
After eating, Qiao Family went to a nearby hotel to stay. They planned to explore for a few days before finding a time to visit Huo Family.
Luo Qing didn't have time to stay.
Before he came, he had booked a ticket for the return trip. The supply and demand cooperatives still had matters waiting for him. He had spent a lot of time on this trip and couldn't delay any longer.
When Luo Jun Liang heard of his dad's departure, the 18-year-old boy suddenly had red eyes. Reluctantly, he wanted to send his dad to the station, but Luo Qing stopped him.
Seeing Luo Jun Liang like this, Qiao Dong He couldn't help feeling sad when she thought of her family leaving in a few days.
At this moment, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have chosen so far. If she was studying in a college in the provincial city, she would be able to catch a ride back during the holidays.
That night, Qiao Family checked in two rooms in the hotel. After all, Da Qiao was too old to continue stay with her grandparents.
Da Qiao asked her elder cousin sister to stay and sleep with her.
Qiao Dong He also wanted to spend more time with her family during these few days, so she happily agreed.
The next day, Qiao Jiatian got up before dawn to watch the national flag raising, and then went to various scenic spots to play.
On the other hand, Huo Family took action on their family affairs.
——
Before Huo Chi came back, he had thought about meeting his dad.
Maybe they would hug each with red eyes. Maybe, they would so excited that they couldn't speak. Or look at each other and smile without saying a word.
But no matter which possibilities, it was absolutely not the current situation. There was no joy and excitement of reunion. Only awkwardness and anger.
"Chi-er..."
Huo Zheng Chen was thrilled when he saw his son who had reached his ear. But as soon as he met the other's indifferent gaze, it felt like someone had poured cold water over his head.
Huo Chi coldly uttered: "My mom wants to divorce with you. Since you already have another family, let's join and separate on goo terms. I hope you can be a bit more clean-cut and don't make me look down on you!"
Huo Zheng Chen's heart received a knife. He turned his head to stare at Dai Shu Fang in disbelief: "Shu Fang, you... Do we really need to go this far?"
Dai Shu Fang let out an exasperated laugh: "If not? Do you still want to copy the old officials and marry main and small wives? Even if I agree, would Ms. Wang agree to downgrade and be a concubine?"
Huo Zheng Chen: "..."
Huo Chi spoke: "It's new China now. It is against the law to marry two wives. If you dare to have this thought, I will report you immediately!"
Huo Zheng Chen took another knife in his heart: "...I didn't."
He came back to make it up for their mother and son and his dad. But in this situation, no matter which side he choose, someone will always be hurt by him.
Seeing his son's hesitant appearance, Huo Hua Qing immediately flared up and called him into the study and gave him a severe lecture.
When Huo Zheng Chen came out, he was limping as he walked.
Dai Shu fang had already made it clear that she didn't want to be with him. When looking at him, it was like she was looking at a dirty thing, which made his heart feel blocked up like a stone was stuffed in. Terribly uncomfortable.
What was more frustrating was that his son never called him 'dad' from the beginning to the end. His gaze was like he was looking at an enemy. Even his dad let out harsh words, saying that he wouldn't live with him.
One can't have it both ways.
After struggling and suffering for a day, he came to Huo's house again the next day with Wang Anna.
Wang Anna was thinner than the last time they saw her. Her face was pale.
Seeing the husband and wife coming together, Huo Chi had the urge to rush up to beat them up!
This was the first time Wang Anna saw Huo Chi. Jealous and resent surged when she saw the wild-beast-like young man in front of her.
This child was more outstanding than she imagined. With such a son, even if Huo Zheng Chen and Dai Shu Fang get divorced, Huo Zheng Chen will definitely think of this mother and son in his heart!
Why didn't they die on the farm in the first place?
If they were dead then, there wouldn't be so much trouble now!
Dai Shu Fang latched onto her son and looked at them indifferently: "What are you tow here for?"
Knowing that they were misunderstanding, Huo Zheng Chen quickly responded, "I have something important to announce. It's best for everyone to be present."
Dai Shu Fang coldly glanced at him and led her son to sit opposite them.
Huo Zheng Chen sighed out, "I owe Dad and you mother and son over the years. Over the years, I couldn't remember the past. If I could choose..."
Huo Chi coldly interrupted him: "Please get to the main point. If you want to be sentimental, please go back now!"
Huo Zheng Chen: "..."
So heartbroken!
Seeing that them mother and son didn't want to listen to him being 'sentimental', Huo Zheng Chen sighed and went straight to the topic: "I agree to the divorce."
Dai Shu Fang had already given up hope on him. Still, when she heard this, she almost couldn't hold back her tears.
On the contrary, Wang Anna had a smug look on her face. Her chest puffed high like a winning rooster.
Huo Chi clenched his fists. The veins on his forehead bulged: "Are you finished? Get out of here now!"
Huo Zheng Chen rushed to speak: "Chi-er, calm down and let me finish!"
He looked so humble and pitiful; not a hint of father-image.
Although Dai Shu Fang gave up on him, it was a matter between them. In the end, he was still Huo Chi's father. She didn't want Huo Chi to live with hatred for his biological father in the future.
She took her son's hand: "Don't be impulsive, Chi-er. Just listen to what he has to say. We don't lack that time."
Seeing Dai Shu Fang mother and son being aggrieved and angry, Wang Anna felt more refreshed than eating ice cream in blazing hot days!
Huo Zheng Chen stated: "I decided to divide my assets in advance!"
Hearing this, Wang Anna's heart thumped. There was an ominous premonition in her heart.
Sure enough, the next moment she heard Huo Zheng Chen continue: "I'm going to divide the existing assets under my name into four parts. One part each for me and Dad. One part for Shu Fang and Chi-er. And one for Anna and the other two children. "
This division may sound fair, but it wasn't!
Huo Hua Qing, the father-in-law, never recognized her identity from the beginning. Nor did he ever cared about her and her two children. Judging from his attitude, he made up his mind to stand on Dai Shu Fang's side.
In this way, the assets in his hands will definitely be left to Huo Chi in the future, not her two children!
Thinking of this, Wang Anna couldn't help frowning. Fortunately she didn't lose completely.
Her eyes fell on Huo Zheng Chen beside her.
Huo Zheng Chen will live with her and the children. As long as they coax him well, they can get him leave his assets to their children in the future.
Besides, Huo Zheng Chen was like a hen that can lay golden eggs. As long as his ability was still there, the money in his hand will make more money. The money that had been distributed out will definitely be earned back!
Thinking of this, she felt a little more comforted.
Unexpectedly, Huo Zheng Chen hadn't finished speaking yet!
She heard him continue on: "I'm did you mother and son wrong. In the future, it's not convenient for me to take care of you by your side, so I decided to leave my share to you as compensation for you!"
What!?
His share will be left to Dai Shu Fang mother and son?
That was to say, three-quarters of all the assets in his hands were left to them. While she and her two children only get one-fourth! !
"Elder Brother Chen!" Wang Anna became anxious.
But before she opened her mouth, Huo Zheng Chen stopped her: "Speak no more. This is what I owe to them mother and son. You and the children will have me by your side in the future. That' why, I should leave them more money."
The meaning of this sentence was: I gave myself to you, while the money is given to them mother and son.
Wang Anna was so vexed that she almost spat out a mouthful of blood! !
But she knew that what Huo Zheng Chen's decision wouldn't change.
She had no choice but to put her hopes on Dai Shu Fang: "Elder Sister Dai, in order to take care of you, Elder Brother Chen left you most of the money we earned in Country Mi. Elder Brother Chen is so kind to you!"
What she meant by this was that she and Huo Zheng Chen earned the money through their hard work. If she had the guts, she wouldn't take it!
Dai Shu Fang saw through Wang Anna's little trick at a glance.
Sorry about that. Compared to the backbone, she felt money was more delicious!
She looked at them and said word by word, "Since you have the heart to make it up, then the money... we will accept it."
Wang Anna: "..."
Wang Anna's face turned black and blue. She wanted to jump up, grab her shoulders, and growl out 'What happened to bend my waist for five buckets of rice? What happened to not eating food from nowhere? Where's your backbone? Take out your backbone ahhhh!!'
Huo Chi frowned as he watched his mom accept his dad's money.
Although he didn't understand his mom's action, he didn't refute his mom at this moment.
When Huo Zheng Chen heard that she was willing to accept it, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you Shu Fang! Thank you for taking care of Dad and Chi-er for so many years. It's been hard on you!"
Dai Shu Fang looked at his deep eyes. Her nose soured and she turned her head away.
Wang Anna was about to go crazy. Have to thank her after giving her money?
Huo Zheng Chen continued: "These assets are what I currently have. If I make more money in the future, I will send the money back to you!"
Before his death, he will also go to the lawyer's office to leave a will. He will never treat this child, Chi-er badly!
Wang Anna: "…………"
So, this time was early asset distribution, not severing the relationship. What's more, sending them money in advance?
When Dai Shu Fang saw Wang Anna's complexion changing like a dye shop, she found it invigorating for no reason.
Wang Anna couldn't hold it in anymore: "Elder Brother Chen, I didn't want to stop you from making it up for Elder Sister Dai and the others. It's just doing this...isn't it unfair to Ni Ni and Jie Jie?"
Ni Ni and Jie Jie were their children. Their daughter was seven years old and their son was only five years old.
Huo Zheng Chen frowned at her, "Father's company is priceless. Ni Ni and Jie Jie should be satisfied with us by their side!"
It was still the same meaning as before. You got the person, while they got the money.
Wang Anna: "…………"
She wanted both his person and the money!
Seeing Wang Anna's deflated reaction, Dai Shu Fang almost laughed out loud.
Although Wang Anna was extremely pissed and filled with hate, she didn't dare to express it. She thought about going back and slowly persuading Huo Zheng Chen.
Huo Zheng Chen made a lot of money selling oil in the Country Mi, which was equivalent to a total of 400,000 yuan. In 1978, in Country Huaxia, he was quite rich even if he wasn't the richest man.
This time, the total amount of assets distributed to Dai Shu Fang and Huo Chi was 300,000 yuan. Da Qiao didn't know that her elder brother Huo Chi was rich in an instant.
In addition to taking the money from Huo Zheng Chen, Dai Shu Fang also put forward a condition; for Huo Zheng Chen to not to do business in the capital in the future.
There were more than 20 million people in the capital. It could be called big and small. If he made up his mind to return to his home country to do business, everyone will know that he is divorced and has another family.
Though she didn't care about being talked about by others, she didn't want her son to be pointed at by others.
Huo Zheng Chen nodded again without hesitation. He only suggested that he would come to the capital to visit them every year.
Dai Shu Fang didn't say anything about this.
Although they were divorced, the father-son relationship between him, his father-in-law, and Huo Chi can't be cut. She had no right to stop him from visiting.
When Wang Anna heard this from his behind, she felt choked to the point she could hardly breathe!
After Huo Zheng Chen took Wang Anna away, Huo Chi asked the question in his heart: "Mom, why did you take his money?"
Huo Chi was angry with his dad for leaving them behind, so he didn't want to use his money. Not a penny!
Dai Shu Fang said, "Why not? Didn't you see surnamed Wang turned green with anger when I agree to take the money? If we don't, then we'll be doing her a favor!"
Since they can't get his person anymore, they completely lose if they don't take the money. At that time, who knows how proud and arrogant Wang Anna will be.
After Huo Chi listened to his mom's words, he sulkily remained silent.
Though he didn't object to his mom's action, he felt a little discomforted. He felt that he have to make more money in the future. He didn't want that ungrateful man's money!
When he saw Da Qiao, he told Da Qiao about it.
After Da Qiao heard this, she blinked her long eyelashes and pointed out, "Elder Brother Huo Chi, money doesn't bite people. If you don't want to use it, then leave it alone. Why should you refuse it? If you don't take it, wouldn't it go to that woman?"
Huo Chi's moodiness during these two days instantly lifted: "You are right. Even if we don't use it, we can't give it to that woman!"
Da Qiao's little head nodded: "Elder Brother Huo Chi, that's the right mentality. However, Elder Brother Huo Chi, you are so rich now!
Huo Chi immediately remembered the 'account' he noted down in the production team and declared, "I said I would return it to you tenfold. If you want anything, I'll buy it for you!"
Although he didn't earn the money, why not use it now he took it? He would buy buy buy for Da Qiao!
Da Qiao tilted her head and pondered, "Then buy me some roast ducks."
She promised to bring back some roast ducks for her elder cousin brother. But after she went to Quanjude to eat roast duck last time, she gave up the idea and decided not even to bring a duck feather to her elder cousin brother.
Roast duck was too expensive. She would just make some roast ducks for her elder cousin brotther when she got back.
Huo Chi froze for a moment before replying, "No problem. Do you want anything else? Dresses, books, and girls' hair accessories? Whatever you want!"
Da Qiao suddenly felt like she was holding his golden thighs: "Elder Brother Huo Chi, it feels so good to be rich!"
Huo Chi stared at her and stated, "I will make more money by myself in the future!"
Then buy, buy, buy for you!
Da Qiao nodded like a pecking chick, "Elder Brother Huo Chi is so awesome. You can definitely do it!"
The corners of Huo Chi's mouth curled up. On the surface, he spoke, "I'm not as awesome as you said."
From the window, Dai Shu Fang saw her son's brows stretched out. She turned her head and remarked: "It's still Da Qiao's words that are effective. I persuaded him for two days, but he still couldn't get it into his head. Now Da Qiao came, he immediately figured it out!"
As a mom, this was frustrating.
However, she wasn't jealous of Da Qiao at all. If it wasn't for Da Qiao and Qiao Family's help, Father-in-law would have died long ago!
So when Qiao Family came over this time, they not only took them around to play and eat, but also bought a lot of things for Qiao Family.
When Qiao Family came to the capital, they had more than a dozen baggage. They thought it would be less when they went back. Unexpectedly, they had more when they went back!
During this trip, Da Qiao brought the dried roses and dried jasmine flowers she made to Huo Family. Taking advantage of these few days of interaction, she fed Auntie Fang and Grandpa Huo jade beads.
Back in the production team, she didn't dare to fed them it because of their status. Now she didn't have this concern.
After Qiao Family left the capital, Dai Shu Fang noticed that she seemed to be much younger in just a few days. Her gray hair had disappeared a lot.
AT the production team's side, Wan Chun Ju cause a joke again.
That night, she suddenly got interested and pulled Qiao Zhen Guo to drive. However, she unexpectedly drove too violently and actually woke little Dong Yun who was sleeping at the side.
It was... a little embarrassing.
The author has something to say: Dai Shu Fang: Dog man and money, I choose money.
Little Dong Yun: What should I do if I encounter my parents driving in the middle of the night? Anxiously wait online for answer.
Qiao Family and Luo family found a scooter and asked them to transport the things to the capital's teacher college.
Because the college stopped enrolling students for ten years, Qiao Dong He and the others were the first batch of students. When they came over, the campus seemed a little deserted and a little run down.
However, the campus was lush with trees. Pretty decent air condition. After slowly tidying it, the scenery will definitely become more and more beautiful.
There were ten people living in one dorm room. When Qiao Dong He went over, there were already three or four people in the dorm.
Seeing Qiao Dong He, some people took the initiative to give greeting. While some people silently wait and watch.
Qiao Dong He smilingly and quietly greeted everyone. Afterward, she made the bed with her grandmother.
Da Qiao also ran up and down to help.
The eyes of the few people in the dormitory fell on Da Qiao.
Their family looked like they were from the countryside, but their skin seems to be a little too fair. Especially the little girl. She looked prettier than the city people. Her skin was as white and tender as a peeled egg. Truly made people.
A tall and short-haired girl asked Qiao Dong He, "Is that your younger sister who ran out to fetch water?"
Qiao Dong He nodded: "It's my younger cousin sister."
When another pretty girl heard this, she made a snarky remark, "No wonder you guys don't look alike at all. Your younger cousin sister is very good-looking."
The underlying meaning was that Qiao Dong He didn't look pretty.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Dong He wasn't angry. Instead the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened: "That's right. I also think my younger sister is very good-looking!"
That pretty girl took the smile and was speechless. She pouted her lips and turned away without saying a word.
The short-haired girl winked at Qiao Dong He and grinne.
Qiao Dong He curved her lips in acknowledgement.
Although she didn't like arguing with people, it didn't mean that she was stupid. She naturally heard the sarcasm in the beautiful girl's words. If the other party want to use this to provoke her, then she was doomed to fail.
Others may be unhappy when they heard this kind of comment, but she won't. In her opinion, Younger Sister Da Qiao was prettier than herself. Not only was she not jealous, but instead felt honored.
Qiao Xiu Zhi and Xue Chuan heard the sly snips among the girls. They didn't plan to help though.
Qiao Dong He was almost an adult. In the future, she will live alone outside. She must learn to interact with all kinds of people. This was a lesson she must learn.
After packing up, everyone started walking around the campus because it wasn't time to eat yet.
Da Qiao hook her cousin's arm and spoke, "Elder Cousin Sister, the capital is really different. When I get admitted to college in the capital, I will be able to come and be your company!"
Knowing that her younger sister was comforting her, Qiao Dong He's heart felt warmed up: "Okay, I'll wait for you to come!"
This you included the other siblings.
But now it seem that among the big ones, only Da Qiao was likely to be admitted to the capital.
Qiao Dong Ying, An Ping, and Dong Lin were either not interested in studying or their brains weren't very good. In short, it would be hard to get admitted to the capital.
After walking around the campus, they were going to find a place to eat. Just at they walked to the entrance, they ran into Luo Family again.
Da Qiao got roast duck chanted into her mind by her elder cousin brother after a few days. Now that food was mentioned, her first thought was roast duck.
"How can one not eat roast duck when coming to the capital? Dad, aren't I right?"
Luo Jun Liang was a foodie. As soon as Da Qiao mentioned roast duck, his mouth immediately salivates. While talking, he looked at his dad with piercing eyes and crazily hinted.
How could Luo Qing not know his son? Amused, he shook his head: "If you want to eat, just say it!"
First, Luo Qing wanted to have further interactions with Qiao Family. Secondly, Luo Family had some wealth and eating roast duck was within their budget. So he never thought of objecting.
Hearing his dad's response, Luo Jun Liang rubbed the back of his head and laughed. His white teeth shone brightly in the sun.
The group went out to inquire with passers-by and heard that Quanjude's roast duck was the most famous. It was a time-honored brand established during Tongzhi's reign in the Qing Dynasty. With this, everyone set off and walked towards Quanjude.
When the reached Quanjude, there were quite a lot of people coming to eat, but not enough to queue up.
As soon as they entered the store, the smell of roast duck wafted through their nostrils and made everyone drool. It seemed that the passerby didn't lie to them.
After sitting down and looking at the price list, everyone was a little stunned.
A roast duck cost nine yuan!
Currently an employee's salary was about 30 yuan. One duck wiped out almost one-third of this. This price was unordinary expensive!
Luo Jun Liang scratched his ears and commented, "Did these duck grow up on gold?"
Otherwise, why was it so expensive?
Da Qiao also found it expensive and whispered, "Grandmother, how about we don't eat it? Just go and casually choose something else to eat."
Just to eat noodles or something. With four people, it was less than two yuan and it guaranteed to be filling. This duck cost nine yuan. What's more, it was definitely not enough for everyone. Too dear!
Qiao Xiu Zhi replied: "It's fine. Since we're already here, let's order it. Grandmother can still afford it!"
Luo Qing quickly interjected: "Don't worry, little niece. Uncle treating you to eat this meal!"
Qiao Family naturally wouldn't let Luo Family treat. In the end, everyone didn't leave.
They ordered a roast duck with other stuff as accompaniments.
When the roast duck was served, everyone saw that the roast duck's full of color; bright as red jujube. The fragrant, flavorful smell hit the nose. Paired with sweet bean sauce and mashed garlic, it was crispy, fresh, and tender.
No wonder one roast duck cost nine yuan. Just the taste alone, it was really worth it!
While eating, Da Qiao whispered to her grandfather: "Grandfather, if you made, can you make it better than them?"
Xue Chuan merrily looked at his granddaughter and answered, "Grandfather's skill would be slightly worst."
This was an ancestral secret recipe. Atime-honored brand with more than 100 years. No matter how conceited, Xue Chuan wouldn't dare to spout nonsense on other people's territory.
After a meal of roast duck, everyone had their lips full of oil; though they found it pricey, the savor the deliciousness.
After eating, Qiao Family went to a nearby hotel to stay. They planned to explore for a few days before finding a time to visit Huo Family.
Luo Qing didn't have time to stay.
Before he came, he had booked a ticket for the return trip. The supply and demand cooperatives still had matters waiting for him. He had spent a lot of time on this trip and couldn't delay any longer.
When Luo Jun Liang heard of his dad's departure, the 18-year-old boy suddenly had red eyes. Reluctantly, he wanted to send his dad to the station, but Luo Qing stopped him.
Seeing Luo Jun Liang like this, Qiao Dong He couldn't help feeling sad when she thought of her family leaving in a few days.
At this moment, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have chosen so far. If she was studying in a college in the provincial city, she would be able to catch a ride back during the holidays.
That night, Qiao Family checked in two rooms in the hotel. After all, Da Qiao was too old to continue stay with her grandparents.
Da Qiao asked her elder cousin sister to stay and sleep with her.
Qiao Dong He also wanted to spend more time with her family during these few days, so she happily agreed.
The next day, Qiao Jiatian got up before dawn to watch the national flag raising, and then went to various scenic spots to play.
On the other hand, Huo Family took action on their family affairs.
——
Before Huo Chi came back, he had thought about meeting his dad.
Maybe they would hug each with red eyes. Maybe, they would so excited that they couldn't speak. Or look at each other and smile without saying a word.
But no matter which possibilities, it was absolutely not the current situation. There was no joy and excitement of reunion. Only awkwardness and anger.
"Chi-er..."
Huo Zheng Chen was thrilled when he saw his son who had reached his ear. But as soon as he met the other's indifferent gaze, it felt like someone had poured cold water over his head.
Huo Chi coldly uttered: "My mom wants to divorce with you. Since you already have another family, let's join and separate on goo terms. I hope you can be a bit more clean-cut and don't make me look down on you!"
Huo Zheng Chen's heart received a knife. He turned his head to stare at Dai Shu Fang in disbelief: "Shu Fang, you... Do we really need to go this far?"
Dai Shu Fang let out an exasperated laugh: "If not? Do you still want to copy the old officials and marry main and small wives? Even if I agree, would Ms. Wang agree to downgrade and be a concubine?"
Huo Zheng Chen: "..."
Huo Chi spoke: "It's new China now. It is against the law to marry two wives. If you dare to have this thought, I will report you immediately!"
Huo Zheng Chen took another knife in his heart: "...I didn't."
He came back to make it up for their mother and son and his dad. But in this situation, no matter which side he choose, someone will always be hurt by him.
Seeing his son's hesitant appearance, Huo Hua Qing immediately flared up and called him into the study and gave him a severe lecture.
When Huo Zheng Chen came out, he was limping as he walked.
Dai Shu fang had already made it clear that she didn't want to be with him. When looking at him, it was like she was looking at a dirty thing, which made his heart feel blocked up like a stone was stuffed in. Terribly uncomfortable.
What was more frustrating was that his son never called him 'dad' from the beginning to the end. His gaze was like he was looking at an enemy. Even his dad let out harsh words, saying that he wouldn't live with him.
One can't have it both ways.
After struggling and suffering for a day, he came to Huo's house again the next day with Wang Anna.
Wang Anna was thinner than the last time they saw her. Her face was pale.
Seeing the husband and wife coming together, Huo Chi had the urge to rush up to beat them up!
This was the first time Wang Anna saw Huo Chi. Jealous and resent surged when she saw the wild-beast-like young man in front of her.
This child was more outstanding than she imagined. With such a son, even if Huo Zheng Chen and Dai Shu Fang get divorced, Huo Zheng Chen will definitely think of this mother and son in his heart!
Why didn't they die on the farm in the first place?
If they were dead then, there wouldn't be so much trouble now!
Dai Shu Fang latched onto her son and looked at them indifferently: "What are you tow here for?"
Knowing that they were misunderstanding, Huo Zheng Chen quickly responded, "I have something important to announce. It's best for everyone to be present."
Dai Shu Fang coldly glanced at him and led her son to sit opposite them.
Huo Zheng Chen sighed out, "I owe Dad and you mother and son over the years. Over the years, I couldn't remember the past. If I could choose..."
Huo Chi coldly interrupted him: "Please get to the main point. If you want to be sentimental, please go back now!"
Huo Zheng Chen: "..."
So heartbroken!
Seeing that them mother and son didn't want to listen to him being 'sentimental', Huo Zheng Chen sighed and went straight to the topic: "I agree to the divorce."
Dai Shu Fang had already given up hope on him. Still, when she heard this, she almost couldn't hold back her tears.
On the contrary, Wang Anna had a smug look on her face. Her chest puffed high like a winning rooster.
Huo Chi clenched his fists. The veins on his forehead bulged: "Are you finished? Get out of here now!"
Huo Zheng Chen rushed to speak: "Chi-er, calm down and let me finish!"
He looked so humble and pitiful; not a hint of father-image.
Although Dai Shu Fang gave up on him, it was a matter between them. In the end, he was still Huo Chi's father. She didn't want Huo Chi to live with hatred for his biological father in the future.
She took her son's hand: "Don't be impulsive, Chi-er. Just listen to what he has to say. We don't lack that time."
Seeing Dai Shu Fang mother and son being aggrieved and angry, Wang Anna felt more refreshed than eating ice cream in blazing hot days!
Huo Zheng Chen stated: "I decided to divide my assets in advance!"
Hearing this, Wang Anna's heart thumped. There was an ominous premonition in her heart.
Sure enough, the next moment she heard Huo Zheng Chen continue: "I'm going to divide the existing assets under my name into four parts. One part each for me and Dad. One part for Shu Fang and Chi-er. And one for Anna and the other two children. "
This division may sound fair, but it wasn't!
Huo Hua Qing, the father-in-law, never recognized her identity from the beginning. Nor did he ever cared about her and her two children. Judging from his attitude, he made up his mind to stand on Dai Shu Fang's side.
In this way, the assets in his hands will definitely be left to Huo Chi in the future, not her two children!
Thinking of this, Wang Anna couldn't help frowning. Fortunately she didn't lose completely.
Her eyes fell on Huo Zheng Chen beside her.
Huo Zheng Chen will live with her and the children. As long as they coax him well, they can get him leave his assets to their children in the future.
Besides, Huo Zheng Chen was like a hen that can lay golden eggs. As long as his ability was still there, the money in his hand will make more money. The money that had been distributed out will definitely be earned back!
Thinking of this, she felt a little more comforted.
Unexpectedly, Huo Zheng Chen hadn't finished speaking yet!
She heard him continue on: "I'm did you mother and son wrong. In the future, it's not convenient for me to take care of you by your side, so I decided to leave my share to you as compensation for you!"
What!?
His share will be left to Dai Shu Fang mother and son?
That was to say, three-quarters of all the assets in his hands were left to them. While she and her two children only get one-fourth! !
"Elder Brother Chen!" Wang Anna became anxious.
But before she opened her mouth, Huo Zheng Chen stopped her: "Speak no more. This is what I owe to them mother and son. You and the children will have me by your side in the future. That' why, I should leave them more money."
The meaning of this sentence was: I gave myself to you, while the money is given to them mother and son.
Wang Anna was so vexed that she almost spat out a mouthful of blood! !
But she knew that what Huo Zheng Chen's decision wouldn't change.
She had no choice but to put her hopes on Dai Shu Fang: "Elder Sister Dai, in order to take care of you, Elder Brother Chen left you most of the money we earned in Country Mi. Elder Brother Chen is so kind to you!"
What she meant by this was that she and Huo Zheng Chen earned the money through their hard work. If she had the guts, she wouldn't take it!
Dai Shu Fang saw through Wang Anna's little trick at a glance.
Sorry about that. Compared to the backbone, she felt money was more delicious!
She looked at them and said word by word, "Since you have the heart to make it up, then the money... we will accept it."
Wang Anna: "..."
Wang Anna's face turned black and blue. She wanted to jump up, grab her shoulders, and growl out 'What happened to bend my waist for five buckets of rice? What happened to not eating food from nowhere? Where's your backbone? Take out your backbone ahhhh!!'
Huo Chi frowned as he watched his mom accept his dad's money.
Although he didn't understand his mom's action, he didn't refute his mom at this moment.
When Huo Zheng Chen heard that she was willing to accept it, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you Shu Fang! Thank you for taking care of Dad and Chi-er for so many years. It's been hard on you!"
Dai Shu Fang looked at his deep eyes. Her nose soured and she turned her head away.
Wang Anna was about to go crazy. Have to thank her after giving her money?
Huo Zheng Chen continued: "These assets are what I currently have. If I make more money in the future, I will send the money back to you!"
Before his death, he will also go to the lawyer's office to leave a will. He will never treat this child, Chi-er badly!
Wang Anna: "…………"
So, this time was early asset distribution, not severing the relationship. What's more, sending them money in advance?
When Dai Shu Fang saw Wang Anna's complexion changing like a dye shop, she found it invigorating for no reason.
Wang Anna couldn't hold it in anymore: "Elder Brother Chen, I didn't want to stop you from making it up for Elder Sister Dai and the others. It's just doing this...isn't it unfair to Ni Ni and Jie Jie?"
Ni Ni and Jie Jie were their children. Their daughter was seven years old and their son was only five years old.
Huo Zheng Chen frowned at her, "Father's company is priceless. Ni Ni and Jie Jie should be satisfied with us by their side!"
It was still the same meaning as before. You got the person, while they got the money.
Wang Anna: "…………"
She wanted both his person and the money!
Seeing Wang Anna's deflated reaction, Dai Shu Fang almost laughed out loud.
Although Wang Anna was extremely pissed and filled with hate, she didn't dare to express it. She thought about going back and slowly persuading Huo Zheng Chen.
Huo Zheng Chen made a lot of money selling oil in the Country Mi, which was equivalent to a total of 400,000 yuan. In 1978, in Country Huaxia, he was quite rich even if he wasn't the richest man.
This time, the total amount of assets distributed to Dai Shu Fang and Huo Chi was 300,000 yuan. Da Qiao didn't know that her elder brother Huo Chi was rich in an instant.
In addition to taking the money from Huo Zheng Chen, Dai Shu Fang also put forward a condition; for Huo Zheng Chen to not to do business in the capital in the future.
There were more than 20 million people in the capital. It could be called big and small. If he made up his mind to return to his home country to do business, everyone will know that he is divorced and has another family.
Though she didn't care about being talked about by others, she didn't want her son to be pointed at by others.
Huo Zheng Chen nodded again without hesitation. He only suggested that he would come to the capital to visit them every year.
Dai Shu Fang didn't say anything about this.
Although they were divorced, the father-son relationship between him, his father-in-law, and Huo Chi can't be cut. She had no right to stop him from visiting.
When Wang Anna heard this from his behind, she felt choked to the point she could hardly breathe!
After Huo Zheng Chen took Wang Anna away, Huo Chi asked the question in his heart: "Mom, why did you take his money?"
Huo Chi was angry with his dad for leaving them behind, so he didn't want to use his money. Not a penny!
Dai Shu Fang said, "Why not? Didn't you see surnamed Wang turned green with anger when I agree to take the money? If we don't, then we'll be doing her a favor!"
Since they can't get his person anymore, they completely lose if they don't take the money. At that time, who knows how proud and arrogant Wang Anna will be.
After Huo Chi listened to his mom's words, he sulkily remained silent.
Though he didn't object to his mom's action, he felt a little discomforted. He felt that he have to make more money in the future. He didn't want that ungrateful man's money!
When he saw Da Qiao, he told Da Qiao about it.
After Da Qiao heard this, she blinked her long eyelashes and pointed out, "Elder Brother Huo Chi, money doesn't bite people. If you don't want to use it, then leave it alone. Why should you refuse it? If you don't take it, wouldn't it go to that woman?"
Huo Chi's moodiness during these two days instantly lifted: "You are right. Even if we don't use it, we can't give it to that woman!"
Da Qiao's little head nodded: "Elder Brother Huo Chi, that's the right mentality. However, Elder Brother Huo Chi, you are so rich now!
Huo Chi immediately remembered the 'account' he noted down in the production team and declared, "I said I would return it to you tenfold. If you want anything, I'll buy it for you!"
Although he didn't earn the money, why not use it now he took it? He would buy buy buy for Da Qiao!
Da Qiao tilted her head and pondered, "Then buy me some roast ducks."
She promised to bring back some roast ducks for her elder cousin brother. But after she went to Quanjude to eat roast duck last time, she gave up the idea and decided not even to bring a duck feather to her elder cousin brother.
Roast duck was too expensive. She would just make some roast ducks for her elder cousin brotther when she got back.
Huo Chi froze for a moment before replying, "No problem. Do you want anything else? Dresses, books, and girls' hair accessories? Whatever you want!"
Da Qiao suddenly felt like she was holding his golden thighs: "Elder Brother Huo Chi, it feels so good to be rich!"
Huo Chi stared at her and stated, "I will make more money by myself in the future!"
Then buy, buy, buy for you!
Da Qiao nodded like a pecking chick, "Elder Brother Huo Chi is so awesome. You can definitely do it!"
The corners of Huo Chi's mouth curled up. On the surface, he spoke, "I'm not as awesome as you said."
From the window, Dai Shu Fang saw her son's brows stretched out. She turned her head and remarked: "It's still Da Qiao's words that are effective. I persuaded him for two days, but he still couldn't get it into his head. Now Da Qiao came, he immediately figured it out!"
As a mom, this was frustrating.
However, she wasn't jealous of Da Qiao at all. If it wasn't for Da Qiao and Qiao Family's help, Father-in-law would have died long ago!
So when Qiao Family came over this time, they not only took them around to play and eat, but also bought a lot of things for Qiao Family.
When Qiao Family came to the capital, they had more than a dozen baggage. They thought it would be less when they went back. Unexpectedly, they had more when they went back!
During this trip, Da Qiao brought the dried roses and dried jasmine flowers she made to Huo Family. Taking advantage of these few days of interaction, she fed Auntie Fang and Grandpa Huo jade beads.
Back in the production team, she didn't dare to fed them it because of their status. Now she didn't have this concern.
After Qiao Family left the capital, Dai Shu Fang noticed that she seemed to be much younger in just a few days. Her gray hair had disappeared a lot.
AT the production team's side, Wan Chun Ju cause a joke again.
That night, she suddenly got interested and pulled Qiao Zhen Guo to drive. However, she unexpectedly drove too violently and actually woke little Dong Yun who was sleeping at the side.
It was... a little embarrassing.
The author has something to say: Dai Shu Fang: Dog man and money, I choose money.
Little Dong Yun: What should I do if I encounter my parents driving in the middle of the night? Anxiously wait online for answer.

ReplyDeleteVery glad that HZC agreed to the divorce. It was the best option for everyone, especially for Dai Shu Fang. Hoping to see Wang Anna suffer more in the future lmao, and I especially can’t wait to see how much more outstanding Huo Chi will become.
ReplyDeleteAt least the Father is still a good man. If he had told the truth from the beginning there would have been less hurt for everyone and both his ex wife and son would have been less angry and not resentfull even if it still ended with thé same outcome.
ReplyDeleteCompared to the backbone, she felt money was more delicious! 10000000% couldn't agree more. With money you can do almost anything! Muahahaha. 😇😇
