Chapter 212: Chicken feathers all over the place

At daybreak, Qiao's mother saw a figure sitting by the bed, facing the balcony window, like a rock. After a closer look, she saw that it was Qiao's father who had returned at some point.

"It's so scary so early in the morning. Why are you sitting there?"

She got up and walked over, and saw that Father Qiao had a pale face and big eyes staring at him, as if he was possessed by an evil spirit.

"Hey, don't scare me, what's wrong?" Qiao's mother pushed him but he didn't respond. She was so scared that she slapped his face again, shouting, "What's going on? Is there something wrong with the company?"

When he heard the word "company", Father Qiao came back to his senses and said dully, "It's over. It's all over."

He was like a puppet, stiffly saying: "Dead people eat dead people"

Qiao's mother was shocked and shouted, "What do you mean by eating dead people? Explain clearly!"

After several rounds of questioning, Qiao's mother fell to the ground.

It turned out that the health products developed by the Qiao family's company had killed an elderly person. Now the family of the elderly person has started a commotion. The other party has some connections, so they asked the fire department to investigate the company, so they had to close down. They have been running around in and out of the company these days to raise funds and appease employees, but after such a commotion, not only did the investors they had finally attracted cancel their contracts after hearing about it, but more than half of the employees also resigned. It's really like monkeys scatter when the tree falls.

"What should I do? What should I do? Meiyun, you have to help me." Father Qiao grabbed Mother Qiao's trouser leg in panic, but she kicked him away.

"Help you? How can I help you! I've already told you that this new formula has not been tested! How dare you sell it on the market!"

"Then wasn't I trying to achieve results quickly to attract investment? If your daughter hadn't introduced Guan Weizhi to me, none of this shit would have happened!"

When Qiao's mother heard this, she pointed at his nose and yelled, "Why do you blame my daughter? She's a college student, what does she know? Why should she clean up your mess?"

Seeing that he had lost all his money, Mr. Qiao tore off his usual mask of a good guy, pushed her, and cursed: "I should have known not to marry a money-loser like you! You are a jinx and will ruin my fortune! If my mother hadn't seen that you were carrying a boy, she would never have agreed to let you into our family!"

"Qiao Songfan!!! You are shameless!!!"

Qiao's mother immediately pounced on him and scratched his face, and the two of them wrestled together in an ugly manner.

"If it weren't for me, would you be where you are today?"

After all, Mr. Qiao was a man with great strength. He pushed Mother Qiao to the ground, and Mother Qiao's head hit the corner of the sofa.

He pointed his finger at her angrily and yelled, "I'm going to make this clear today. If the company is gone, our whole family will have to starve! I've had enough of you. Don't play dumb and refuse to sign this time! Qiqi is still young and can't afford to waste time. I'll give you some money because you took care of my mom before she died. Take it and leave. Don't even think about the house!"

In fact, Qiao's mother had long known that he had a mistress outside, the one named Qiqi, the accountant in the company. The two of them were flirting with each other, and they kept it a secret at first, but later in the company, she didn't hide it at all. When Qiao's mother was not around, she pretended to be the boss's wife. It was probably because Qiao's father promised her that he would divorce her, and she couldn't wait any longer.

Qiao's mother had known about this for a long time, but she had turned a blind eye to it from beginning to end. Now that she was exposed and humiliated, she smiled and cried non-stop, gritting her teeth with hatred and resentment.

The old lady used her mother-in-law's money to make things difficult for her, but in the end, she was the only one who took care of the old lady's excrement and urine, and this man who was known as a filial son rarely came to see her. Qiao Songfan pursued her very passionately before marriage, which made her feel very ashamed after the divorce. Unexpectedly, this man changed a lot after marriage. Later, I found out that he had been diagnosed with infertility a long time ago. The person he was talking about marriage with dumped him, but the old lady pressed him hard, so he just found someone to marry.

Qiao's mother is strong-willed. She came from a small town and was despised by others after her divorce. If she divorced again, she felt that she would never be able to hold her head up high.

So even if her marriage life was not satisfactory, she endured it in every possible way. The whole Qiao family looked down on Qiao's mother, thinking that she was carrying two burdens, and mocked Qiao's father for being a cheap father, so they squeezed her openly and secretly. Qiao's mother was angry, and she was in charge of everything inside and outside. She was also very proud, and she couldn't vent her anger, so she kept it in her heart. Over time, she became very angry, and the good looks she had when she was young were gone. Especially when she saw her daughter, she was very angry and often impatient. In addition, the old lady favored boys over girls, so she asked Ji Mingduo to please the old lady. When Qiao Susui was a child, she was timid, didn't like to talk, and cried at every turn. The Qiao family didn't like girls, and she, as a mother, felt embarrassed, so when Qiao Susui cried, she was even more annoyed. She put all her dissatisfaction on the weak child. Over the years, it became a habit, as if this method had become an outlet for catharsis.

With a bang, Mr. Qiao slammed the door and left.

Mother Qiao sat on the ground wiping her tears, and when she looked up she saw Qiao Jiming standing at the door. His expression was so cold that Mother Qiao felt a little trembling.

"Ji Ming, help me up"

Qiao Jiming stood at the door without moving.

At first, he would still stand up for Qiao's mother and comfort her, but over time, Qiao Jiming felt annoyed. Why didn't he leave such a man? Why did he always save face and humiliate himself again and again?

At this moment, he said expressionlessly: "Just sign it this time. I have been recommended for admission, and I will make money to support you and your sister in the future."

Mother Qiao was stunned, her eyes aching. She gritted her teeth and said, "I won't leave. He wants to get rid of me like this, no way! What are all my years worth? What are my efforts worth? Why am I a joke in the end?"

Qiao Jiming closed his eyes, sighed, and sneered: "So you are not a joke now?"

He turned and left, feeling that he couldn't stay in this house for a moment, but he heard Qiao's mother roaring behind him: "I didn't raise you to talk back at me! You've grown wings, haven't you! If I hadn't adopted you, would you be able to go to school now? Have food to eat?"

Qiao's mother cried and said harsh words, but she regretted it the next second. Qiao Jiming was the son of her good friend. The couple died in a car accident, and both parents were gone. In the end, only she was willing to help and temporarily took Qiao Jiming, who was just one month old, to raise him. But she had already communicated with a distant relative of Qiao Jiming and asked them to adopt him. It was later that she learned from Qiao Songfan that the old lady liked grandchildren, so she had other ideas and said Qiao Jiming was her son.

Now, the young man in front of him had grown so tall without knowing when. His back was very straight. He did not even turn his head back at this moment, and said calmly: "I know, so I will not ignore you. I will support you until the end of your life. The only condition is that you do not bother your sister again."

After saying that, he strode away. In the end, only Mother Qiao was left in this family.

A few days later, Qiao Susu was attending school as usual. When the class was over, the classmates were rushing out. Suddenly, a shabby man appeared at the classroom door. When he saw Qiao Susu coming out, he knelt straight in front of her.

"My child, please give your father a chance to live."

The person who came was Qiao Songfan.

He deliberately pretended to be pitiful in this way to force Qiao Susu to help him.

For a moment, students in the corridor, classroom, and even other departments were crowded to watch the fun. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Qiao Susu, and they kept whispering. Some even took out their mobile phones to record the video.

"Hey, what's going on? Some family ethics drama?"

"No way, it turns out Qiao Suisui's family conditions are so poor."

"Ah, does she not care about her father?"
