Qiao Zuwang saw that as soon as he spoke, his four children stopped playing and looked at him in unison, and he felt proud.
I am I, even if I am a rebellious person like Qiao Yicheng, don’t I have to listen obediently when I speak?
Thinking of this, the depression in his heart suddenly relaxed a lot, but his pride did not last long.
"If you have something to say, hurry up and say it. We are grinding and whining there. Everyone is still busy after dinner."
"boom."
Qiao Zuwang slammed his chopsticks on the table, startling a few people, but Qiao Yicheng looked at him calmly.
"Qiao Yicheng, am I your father, or are you mine? Do you talk to me like this? I think you are going to shake things up."
Qiao Yicheng said calmly: "You are my father, okay, if you have anything to say, please tell me immediately."
"you."
Qiao Zuwang pointed at Qiao Yicheng, trembling with anger. He felt that sooner or later, he would be angered to death by his eldest son.
Taking a deep breath, he forced himself to calm down. What he wanted to say next was even more important.
Calm down, calm down, calm down...
Qiao Zuwang, who finally calmed down, coughed dryly before starting to speak.
"Second Strong and Fourth Beauty, as a father, I am very happy that you can work in Chenxing Textile Factory, but do you know how you got your job?"
Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Simei both looked puzzled. They really didn't know the specific situation, but Qiao Sanli told them after she came back yesterday.
Qiao Simei asked doubtfully: "Didn't my sister ask Brother Zhou Chen to help?"
Qiao Erqiang nodded naturally. With the relationship between his sister and Zhou Chen, it shouldn't be difficult to help her...
"she?"
Qiao Zuwang snorted, but when he saw Qiao Sanli's eyes, he coughed awkwardly and changed his tone: "Yes, Sanli did help, but in fact, the biggest contribution comes from me."
"You?" Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Simei's eyes were full of disbelief. How could they not know what kind of virtue their father was?
"Of course it's me."
Seeing that his children didn't believe it, Qiao Zuwang immediately became anxious, "I went to see Zhou Chen yesterday. He only agreed to this because of my face. If you don't believe me, ask Sanli."
As he said this, he kept winking at Sanli. He knew that his eldest daughter had always been filial and obedient, so she would definitely not undermine him at this time.
It is true that Qiao Sanli did not tell the truth, but Qiao Yicheng knew that was not the case. If he was the only one, he would definitely not give any face to Qiao Zuwang, but now that there are younger brothers and sisters here, he would not
Revealed on the spot.
However, the two of them did not expose it, which made Qiao Zuwang even more proud.
"Let me tell you, I originally applied for a job at Chenxing Textile Factory, and they agreed to let me in, but I was not satisfied with the position they gave me, so I went to find that guy from the Zhou family, and he was very enthusiastic about me.
Very well, I also know what his wishful thinking is. Isn’t it just that he wants to be with our family, Sanli? If he wants to be with Sanli, how dare he not give me the face of my future father-in-law?"
"Then what?"
Qiao Simei was doubtful, mainly because what Qiao Zuwang said made sense. If Zhou Chen wanted to get along with the third sister, he would definitely have to please his father-in-law.
As for the others, she didn't quite believe it. She had heard that Chenxing Textile Factory had very strict recruitment requirements. With her father's character, would someone take the initiative to hire him?
When someone praised him, Qiao Zuwang became even more interested, and he even boasted without making any drafts.
"Then, of course, whatever I said, that boy Zhou Chen had to agree. As soon as he heard that I was going to their factory, he immediately wanted to give me a manager. But your father, I am an honest person, how could this be possible?
I was willing to take advantage of my future in-laws, so I righteously refused."
Okay, this is really an exaggeration. The honest man Qiao Erqiang, who was a little bit convinced just now, no longer believes it now.
Are you kidding me? Their father, a lazy man who cheats and cheats, can't even be considered a front-line worker, so he still acts as a manager?
As for Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Sanli, they selectively ignored it and took it as a joke.
But Qiao Zuwang didn't stop and continued to boast.
"So Zhou Chen finally decided to let me be a workshop director or manage a warehouse. Alas, I can definitely do this. But I turned around and thought, no, I am already so old. Even if I go to work, I can still go to work.
How many years?"
"So I thought of you. Yicheng and Sanli both have university degrees. Don't worry too much about your future. But Erqiang and Simei, you can't. As a father, I have to think about your future, so I
I suggested to Zhou Chen that he give you my job in exchange."
"Hey, this kid didn't dare not give me face. He immediately agreed to my proposal. I originally wanted Erqiang to go, but in order to curry favor with me, that kid did whatever it took to help Simei with your work.
It's settled, and finally you two have a job."
"So, the person you two should thank the most is your father and me."
Qiao Zuwang pointed at himself proudly, waiting for the admiring looks of his children.
What disappointed him was that Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Sanli didn't even look at him. Qiao Erqiang was still thinking about what he said and hadn't come back to his senses. As for Qiao Simei, she even laughed.
Qiao Zuwang suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart. The daughter he had promised was a little cotton-padded jacket. How was this cotton-padded jacket so ventilated?
Finally, Qiao Yicheng said: "Dad, you have said so much, is it time to tell you your purpose now?"
He knew his father very well, and after saying so much, he just wanted to get something. He had almost guessed Qiao Zuwang's purpose.
"This traitor."
Qiao Zuwang was filled with anger. This eldest son was simply his nemesis. Every time he wanted to say something, he would be disrupted by him.
But thinking of his own purpose, he still forced himself to be calm.
"What I mean is very simple. Look at me. Do you notice any difference between me and before?"
The four children all stared at Qiao Zuwang, and finally Qiao Simei shook her head in confusion: "There is no difference, Dad, what do you want to say?"
Qiao Zuwang was so angry that his tooth ached. These traitors didn't care about me at all.
"Didn't you notice the white hair on my head and the wrinkles on my face? Look carefully and see clearly."
Qiao Simei and Qiao Erqiang took a closer look and said, "It seems a bit weird. Dad, what have you been doing recently? Did you stay up late playing mahjong again? Or did you drink too much?"
"I……"
Qiao Zuwang's hands were trembling, he was a treason, he was a treason.
"I'm old, I'm old! Can't you see it? I've worked so hard to raise you so well, and look at how filial you are to me. You can't even tell that I'm old. I've raised you all in vain.
Already."
Faced with Qiao Zuwang's furious scolding, the four brothers and sisters of the Qiao family all had calm expressions. They had been scolded by Qiao Zuwang frequently since they were young, and they had long been accustomed to it.
After scolding him for a few times, like a white-eyed wolf and a little brat, Qiao Zuwang felt that his chest felt much better.
"I am your father. I gave birth to you and raised you. Now that I am old, it is time for you to be filial to me. This is a matter of course."
"So?" Qiao Yicheng asked.
Qiao Zuwang hummed: "So, you guys are responsible for providing for me in my old age."
Qiao Yicheng nodded and said, "I understand, you just want money, right?"
Qiao Zuwang was unhappy: "Why do you need money? This is called support. I raised you, and you provide for me in my old age and are responsible for my alimony. What is this called Gang Chang?"
"Hey, you still know the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Rules, but you'd better learn what they mean first, and then say them out."
Qiao Yicheng mocked unceremoniously, "Tell me, how much do you want?"
Qiao Zuwang: "I have five children in total. Since we are supporting them, everyone must pay."
The Qiao brothers and sisters all stared at Qiao Zuwang in disbelief with their eyes widened.
Qiao Yicheng was also shocked by his father's shamelessness: "You said it's just the four of us, but you won't let Qiqi go?"
Qiao Zuwang asked naturally: "Isn't Qiqi my son?"
Qiao Yicheng said angrily: "Have you ever raised Qiqi for a day? He was sent to his second aunt's house not long after he was born. In the past few years, he gave some money for milk powder, but did you give him a penny later? Not to mention Qiqi.
You are only thirteen years old now, and you still have the nerve to ask him for money?"
Qiao Erqiang, Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei also looked at their father with strange eyes, making Qiao Zuwang look embarrassed.
"Okay, let's not forget about Qiqi for the time being. We will talk about it after he becomes an adult and works."
"Not even after work."
