In the main room, the discussion between the two continued.
When Wei Shufang heard the word "life is miserable", she immediately felt sad and automatically ignored Qiao Zuwang's complaints behind her, saying with tears in her eyes.
"My sister has a miserable life. She has never enjoyed any blessings in her life."
Qiao Zuwang glanced at Wei Shufang in surprise, his eyes seeming to say, are you still embarrassed to mention this?
Yes, I, Qiao Zuwang, admit that I am indeed not a very qualified husband, but why do you think your sister married me? Don’t you have any idea?
Qiao Zu looked at the people who came to him and said that he would not suffer any loss. After listening to Wei Shufang's words, he immediately said sarcastically.
"Yes, that's because you are not as lucky as you if you follow me. It would be great to marry Qi Zhiqiang. You can earn more and be capable."
"What do you mean by saying this at this time?"
When Wei Shufang heard this, she immediately became anxious. This Qiao Zuwang really didn't want to open any pot.
"We have been busy these days, and we have also contributed a lot of money. You still say such things, it is... really unreasonable."
Qiao Zuwang has a nickname called "Qiao Jingguazi" and he is very fond of calculating. Just now, Wei Shufang mentioned the word "money" in her words, which immediately aroused his vigilance.
Immediately, he asked tentatively.
"what do you want?"
Wei Shufang, whose thoughts were exposed, replied with a rather twitchy expression.
"I just want a tent to keep my thoughts on, and I want the red bed."
Want my stuff?
Qiao Jingshazi immediately became unhappy and refused: "Your sister has kept it for many years, saying that it was to be used by her daughter to make quilts when she gets married in the future."
Hearing the conversation between the two, Li Jie, who was standing at the door of the back room, couldn't help but feel the desire to complain.
These two people are so interesting.
Mother Qiao is still lying in the hospital, and the two of them began to think about all this. One lamented that no one would follow suit, and the other was thinking about getting something to save some costs.
Looking at the whole drama, would you say these two people are bad?
They are not that bad. They say yes, but they are not that good.
This is people, good and bad, good and evil often coexist. Good people can be bad sometimes, and bad people can be good sometimes.
If we insist on saying that Qiao Zuwang and Wei Shufang are bad people, to be fair, it is indeed a bit reluctant.
It is true that Qiao Zuwang was selfish and greedy for gain, but looking at everything he did, he did not commit any great evil.
The four children of the Qiao family (Qiqi was raised by the second aunt in the play) were also brought up by him, and he also supported the ones who should go to school. Later, the second child couldn't study and dropped out of school, so he also thought about finding a place for the second child.
job.
Although the job is not very respectable, Qiao Zuwang is so capable, so he cannot be forced to find a job that is both decent and high-paying for the second best.
As for Wei Shufang, she likes to be cheap and care about everything. These are her shortcomings, but she is not without her advantages.
When it comes to helping, she won't be vague. She will at most calculate the gains and losses. This is also human nature.
In addition, she had taken care of Qiao Qiqi since she was a child, almost treating the child as a half biological son. Although Qiao Zuwang gave him living expenses, the little he gave was simply not enough.
To sum up, Qiao Zuwang and Wei Shufang have various shortcomings, but they are not bad people.
Suddenly, a dark figure appeared in front of Li Jie. When he looked up, he saw Qi Zhiqiang looking at him with soft eyes.
"Yicheng, if you want to cry, just cry."
Qi Zhiqiang knew that his nephew had to be strong since he was a child. He thought that Li Jie didn't cry because he didn't want others to see his weak side.
It's a pity that Qi Zhiqiang never thought that the 'Qiao Yicheng' at this time was no longer the 'Qiao Yicheng' in his impression.
Li Jie took a step back, avoiding Qi Zhiqiang's big hand. If it had been before he awakened, he might have sought comfort.
But now he doesn't need it anymore. In the past copies, he didn't know how many life and death he had experienced.
In terms of experience, no one among the people of Jinling City can be found who has more experience than him.
The deceased is gone, everything is irretrievable, and the living are what he cares more about.
At this moment, he had already begun to look for the next way out.
First of all, the urn in which Qiao's mother was buried can no longer be exchanged for a cheaper one by Qiao Zuwang. The money must be put to practical use.
Dealing with people like Qiao Zuwang is actually very simple. Li Jie doesn't need to do anything. He just needs to follow him and keep an eye on him 24 hours a day.
When the time comes, with Qiao Zuwang's face-saving character, he will never secretly replace the eight-piece urn with a three-piece urn.
After all, he still has a sense of shame and is not the kind of hopeless person.
Of course, Li Jie would not give him a good look until Qiao Zuwang officially returned to the right path.
Otherwise, once this guy gets the slightest chance, he will definitely climb up the ladder.
We must always be wary of Qiao Zu’s exaggeration!
Secondly, regarding the issue of younger brother Qiao Qiqi, the reason why ‘Qiao Yicheng’ didn’t like him in the original work was entirely because of a beautiful misunderstanding.
Among the five children of the Qiao family, except for Qiao Qiqi who is very handsome, the other four are relatively ordinary in appearance.
Precisely because of Qiao Qiqi's handsome appearance, a rumor started spreading in the streets.
'The Qiao family has never produced such a beautiful doll.'
The implication is that Qiao Qiqi is not actually the son of the Qiao family, but the son of the second uncle who often visits the house.
Qiao Zuwang never took this rumor seriously because he was a very handsome man when he was young.
But 'Qiao Yicheng' didn't think so, he was obsessed with it.
Later, the second aunt's family raised Qiqi "hard-working and uncomplaining", and her cousin Qi Weimin even regarded Qiqi as his own brother.
All this confirmed a certain guess in his mind.
Therefore, even if the Qiao family's life improved later and they were able to bring Qiao Qiqi back, 'Qiao Yicheng' did not mention it.
However, Li Jie, who has read the original work, knows that all this is a misunderstanding, and Qiao Qiqi is indeed the son of the Qiao family.
Since he is the son of the Qiao family, there is no reason for him to be raised by the Qi family. Even if the Qi family is willing, Li Jie is not willing.
How to raise Qiqi is a question.
In the late 1970s, supplies were scarce, and fresh milk and milk powder that could be bought in any supermarket are now rarities.
Not only do you have to buy it with a ticket, the price is not cheap either.
Weigang Milk can be said to be the memory of generations of people in Jinling. According to the memory in Li Jie's mind, if you want to order fresh milk, you must have a certificate from a doctor in the hospital to get a milk ticket.
The issuance of milk stamps is limited and is limited to newborn babies, postpartum women, elderly people over 70 years old, and patients with chronic diseases.
In addition, the price of a bottle of fresh milk is not cheap, 180 yuan per bottle, one bottle per day, which is 5 yuan per month.
5 yuan 4 seems very cheap, but considering that Qiao Zuwang's monthly salary is only more than 20 yuan, and including various subsidies, it is only more than 30 yuan.
If you calculate it this way, the price of milk is very expensive, more than five yuan, which is equivalent to eating up a quarter of his monthly salary.
Moreover, if a baby only drinks 200ml of fresh milk a day, it is definitely not enough.
