Qiao Zuwang naturally did not want to live in the same house with his children. According to his opinion, he was the head of the family and it was natural for him to live alone in a house.
What's more, Wang Gang and the others are small and can still live in one room. How can he, an adult, compare with a child?
Wang Gang, however, was not used to Qiao Zuwang and said, "You can live alone if you want. The living room is big."
Qiao Zuwang became even more angry. Isn't Wang Gang burying someone? How can the head of a family lay the floor in the living room?
Wang Gang added: "If you are willing to sleep in the living room, we can also make a concession. From now on, my eldest brother and I will help you wash your clothes, and you won't have to do the housework."
Qiao Zuwang's facial features were all intertwined. He had no intention of doing housework in the first place!
But look at what my son means, if he doesn’t agree, he will still have to do housework every day!
Wang Gang glanced at Qiao Zuwang coldly and said: "I'll settle an account with you. You won't have to pay for food in the future, and you can still see meat and fish at home. You can save a lot of money, and you can have free time without caring about housework."
Spend plenty of time playing cards.
The price you have to pay is just to move from your room to the living room to sleep, and we will be responsible for cleaning the bed for you every day."
Qiao Zuwang's lips twitched and he never agreed.
Wang Gang was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "It doesn't matter if you don't agree. The worst case scenario is that I will take everyone out and move out. But I don't know if someone from the street will come to you to ask about the situation."
Qiao Zuwang's face looked as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly. A man in his thirties was threatened by an eight-year-old child, who happened to be his own son.
He feels that he may be the most failed father in the world.
After much consideration, Qiao Zuwang still agreed. The fight was so bad that he was the only one who was unlucky.
From then on, Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei moved Qiqi into Qiao Zuwang's room.
Qiao Zuwang slept in the living room every night, and Qiao Yicheng and Wang Gang helped him make his bed every night.
Although the family lives under the same roof, they spend very little time communicating. Everyone maintains a tacit understanding with each other. They say they are relatives, but they are like strangers living together.
After some time, Qiao Zuwang discovered that his life was actually quite good.
He only needs to spend a very small amount of living expenses every month, and most of his salary goes into his own pocket. He does not need to take care of his family and children's affairs. Someone prepares three meals a day, and he can eat meat every time.
Someone makes the bed when you sleep, and someone washes dirty clothes. The life of an official is just like this!
The Qiao brothers and sisters are quite satisfied with their current lives, but Qiao Yicheng and Wang Gang are suffering.
It is indeed not easy for one to be a mother and the other to be a father, raising three younger brothers and sisters.
Wang Gang was a little better. He had never experienced any hardships and had experience in raising children. But after all, Qiao Yicheng was still an eleven-year-old child.
Originally, Wang Gang wanted to shoulder everything, but Qiao Yicheng himself was not willing to do so and insisted on taking on the eldest brother's responsibility.
He may have felt that as soon as Wang provided money, he would have to contribute, so he worked very hard at home, cooking, washing clothes, cleaning, and doing everything by himself without letting his younger brothers and sisters do it. He was so sensible that it made people feel distressed.
Of course, except for Qiao Zuwang, the children in the Qiao family are quite sensible.
Qiao Sanli would sometimes take over the laundry, and even Qiao Simei would sweep the floor at home.
Qiao Qiqi is also obedient to a fault. Except for eating, drinking and defecating, she rarely cries.
After a year of living like this, everyone in the Qiao family has a completely new outlook on life.
The first is Qiao Zuwang. Because he doesn't care about housework all day long, he will gather his friends to play mahjong after work. He lives a good life and is famous throughout the alley. Of course it is not a good reputation.
Nowadays, everyone in the Shamao Alley knows that the Qiao family's evil bamboo shoots are producing good bamboo shoots, the father has been out of shape all day, and the children are all croaking.
After raising the children of the Qiao family for a year, because they can eat meat every meal, they no longer look sallow and thin, their bodies no longer have rags and patches, and their mental outlook has taken on a completely new look.
Especially Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei, who ate too much eggs and meat, and Wang Gang consciously guided them to practice martial arts. They were plump and rosy, and looked like porcelain dolls. Everyone would praise them when they saw them.
Because of Wang Gang's fishing skills, the economic situation of the Qiao family and the Wu family was much better, and they became one of the best families in Shamao Lane.
Aunt Wu has been selling fish for a year. Many people know that she buys fish from the Qiao family. Many people also know that the Qiao family has a fishing prodigy who can catch twenty or thirty kilograms of fish every day.
Some people even came to Qiao Zuwang specifically to collect fish.
Qiao Zuwang saw that many people came to him and felt very proud. However, Wang Gang and Aunt Wu cooperated tacitly and did not want to change their families.
Let's not talk about Aunt Wu selling fish and only charging them 20% of the profit. She helped take care of Qiao for seventy-seven years. The Qiao family must recognize this love.
After Qiao Zuwang hit a snag with Wang Gang, he finally realized that as a father, he could no longer control his son, so he had no choice but to give up and devote himself to the mahjong business.
Sometimes Qiao Zuwang would invite people to come to his house to play mahjong. As he went back and forth, the children of Qiao's family also got to know many of his playing friends.
Among them, a man named Li Heman came the most frequently, and sometimes brought some candies to the Qiao children.
This Li Heman worked in a grain and oil store in an alley and was idle all day long. Wang Gang disliked this man very much and asked his sisters to stay away from him.
On this day, Qiao Yicheng had classes at school. Wang Gang took Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei home and asked Aunt Wu to help take care of them while he went fishing on the river bank.
But something happened to Aunt Wu's son. She was in a hurry to go to the hospital to visit her, so she asked Sanli to take her sister at home and not run away. She took Qiao Qiqi to the hospital herself.
Not long after Aunt Wu left, Li Heman knocked on Qiao's door.
Because Qiao Sanli knew Li Heman, she opened the door for him.
"Sanli, Simei, is your dad at home?" Li Heman took out two pieces of white rabbit toffee and handed them to Sanli and Simei.
Qiao Sanli didn't want to take the candy at first, but Qiao Simei didn't hesitate and took the candy directly into her hand.
"Thank you, Uncle Li, my dad hasn't gotten off work yet."
Five-year-old Qiao Simei was almost turned into a snack food by Wang Gang and Qiao Yicheng.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li He rolled his eyes and asked: "Is there no one else at home? Where is your brother?"
Qiao Sanli said honestly: "The eldest brother has classes at school, and the second brother is going fishing."
When Li Heman heard this, he felt happy. He took out a dollar and said to Qiao Simei: "Simei, Uncle Li invites you to eat tofu bread. You go to the intersection and buy three bowls and come back."
Qiao Sanli pulled Qiao Simei's clothes and said to Li Heman: "Thank you, Uncle Li. The second brother said we can't ask for other people's money."
"Uncle Li is no one else. Uncle Li is your father's friend." Li Heman said with what he thought was a kind smile.
Qiao Simei's mouth was almost drooling. She ignored her sister's stop and took the one dollar directly.
"Uncle Li, do you put spicy oil in your tofu?"
Qiao Sanli frowned, feeling that Li Heman's smile was a bit disgusting.
"Uncle Li doesn't eat spicy food." Li Heman touched Qiao Simei's head and said.
"Sister, I'm going to make tofu noodle!"
Qiao Simei happily ran out with her lunch box, but Qiao Sanli didn't stop her.
Li Heman slowly closed the door of Qiao's house, a sinister smile flashed in his eyes.
For some reason, Qiao Sanli felt a chill in her body, as if something bad was about to happen.
Qiao Simei happily took her lunch box and rushed out of Shamao Alley when she bumped into Wang Gang.
"Simei, why are you running around?" Wang Gang grabbed Qiao Simei and asked.
"Uncle Li gave me a dollar and asked me to go to the street corner to buy some tofu puffs. Second brother, will you eat it?"
"Uncle Li, which Uncle Li?" Wang Gang asked curiously.
"It's the Uncle Li who always plays cards with dad." Qiao Simei said innocently.
Wang Gang frowned slightly and asked, "Where's Aunt Wu? Isn't she looking at you?"
"Aunt Wu took Qiqi to the hospital. It seems that her son had an accident."
Wang Gang's expression changed and he asked, "Is there anyone else at home?"
Qiao Simei tilted her little head and said, "Only Third Sister and Uncle Li are at home."
Wang Gang realized something was wrong, quickly picked up Qiao Simei and ran home.
"Second brother, I haven't bought tofu noodles yet?" Qiao Simei shouted, not knowing why.
Wang Gang ignored Qiao Simei, and instead accelerated his pace by three points. He ran home after a while, and felt nervous when he saw the door was closed.
He put Qiao Simei down and was about to open the door when he heard a scream coming from the yard.
The scream was a man's, sharp and painful.
Wang Gang no longer hesitated and quickly opened the door, and then saw Li Heman lying on the ground in the yard, covering his crotch with his hands, wailing in pain.
Qiao Sanli stood next to Li Heman, her face flushed, as if she was angry, but she was fine.
"What's going on?" Wang Gang didn't know what was going on and asked Qiao Sanli.
"Second brother, this man wanted to take off my pants, so I used the technique you taught me to lift my vaginal feet." Qiao Sanli said angrily.
Wang Gang understood what was going on as soon as he heard it.
This Li Heman had evil intentions towards Qiao Sanli, but was knocked down by Qiao Sanli.
