Wang Xian Xian returned to the dormitory in despair. She sat down on the stool and wailed out.
The rest in dormitory were startled. Song Yu Lian almost fell off the ladder.
Chen Xiao Lan dropped the book and immediately ran over with concern: "Xian Xian, what's wrong? Who bullied you?"
Cai Ru Nan didn't go over. Her ears did perk up.
Wang Xian Xian burst into tears and snot: "Senior Brother Huo said he... has a match... woo woo..."
Chen Xiao Lan and Song Yu Lian were stunned at this news: "Didn't you say before that Senior Brother Huo has none?"
Wang Xian Xian sniffed: "Before, none...but just now I saw him and Da Qiao... together. He said Da Qiao was... his match... woo..."
Why was it Da Qiao?
If it were someone else, she might feel better. But it had to be Da Qiao!
Da Qiao was prettier than her, had better grades than her, and was more popular.
Her maternal uncle had told him not to go against her. Now even Senior Brother Huo was hooked away by her!
Woowoo, she wasn't willing to admit defeat!
Hearing Wang Xian Xian's words, the three people in the dormitory were shocked!
"What did you say? Does Da Qiao have a match?"
"And it's Senior Brother Huo?"
Shock was etched on Cai Ru Nan's face, because she hadn't heard Da Qiao mention it before.
Her felt a little sour. She felt Goddess hadn't fully regarded her as a friend.
It didn't matter though. This indicated that she wasn't working hard enough. She must work harder and swear to become Goddess' best friend!
But her shocked expression was caught by Song Yu Lian.
Her eyes spun and said, "Ru Nan, you seemed to be shocked just now. Did you not know that Da Qiao has a match?"
Cai Ru Nan didn't plan to fake: "I did not know. So what? Put away your snarky tone. Since Da Qiao don't want to tell others, that's her freedom. I'm her friend, so I have respect her even more!"
Song Yu Lian sneered, thinking Cai Ru Nan was just being stubborn despite being angry with Da Qiao on the inside.
She want to see how long their hypocritical friendship can last!
When Da Qiao returned to the dorm, Wang Xian Xian had stopped crying. Still, a long face wwas on display. No one gave it any attention.
Naturally, Da Qiao wouldn't come forward to find trouble.
Chen Xiao Lan and Song Yu Lian looked at her with strange gazes.
They were still stunned by the fact that Da Qiao had a match.
Cai Ru Nan put her hand on Da Qiao's shoulder. Her tone was slightly sour: "Da Qiao, I heard that you have a match? Are we friends or what? You didn't tell me such an important thing!"
Da Qiao replied: "I thought you all knew. My match sent me to the dorm on the first day. And he also put that balloon later. What's more, I was thinking of inviting you to the banquet after we got engaged."
As soon as these words fell, a sob rang from Wang Xian Xian's bed as well as startling eavesdropper Song Yu Lian into slamming her head against the cabinet.
Seeing this, Cai Ru Nan grinned, "You guys are actually getting engaged? Have you known each other for a long time?"
Da Qiao nodded: "I have known him since I was seven years old. We grew up together."
"Woooo...!!!"
Although Wang Xian Xian covered her face with a sheet, her ears were perked up when Da Qiao spoke. Who knew that the more Da Qiao said, the more despair she felt.
Childhood sweethearts who grew up together. And they were about to get engaged. She just couldn't catch up even with a train!
How hateful!
Although Cai Ru Nan was not interested in talking about relationships, she still showed an envious expression when she heard Da Qiao's response: "That's great!"
But no matter how good a man was of how good the relationship was, Da Qiao was worthy. Because she was good-looking!
After this day, Wang Xian Xian hated Da Qiao even more.
——
In the graduate dorm.
Mother Luo came over with a bowl of black and dark soup: "Dong He, quickly drink this soup. I stewed it for three full hours!"
At the smell of the soup, Qiao Dong He immediately turned around and retched.
Seeing her like this, Mother Luo got angry: "I went through so hardship to come all the way here to serve, cook and wash your clothes for you. I got up early in the morning to buy ingredients to make soup for you. Before even trying it, you vomit. You're purposely disgusting me, right?"
Qiao Dong He retched so much that she felt her stomach was about to be vomit out: "Mom...I don't mean that...ugh..."
Before her mother-in-law came, her morning sickness was gone. Who knew that it had started again. It seem to be worse than before!
Mother Luo heavily put the bowl on the table and plopped down on the ground, "My bitter life! I have worked hard..."
She wailingly sang what she had just said. Her voice rising and falling. Even better than those who sang opera. It quickly attracted the neighbors over.
After those people came over, she told them what she had said before with extra seasoning.
After those people heard it, they all gathered around and condemned Qiao Dong He.
"Dong He ah. I usually don't see you act so squeamish. Why are you suddenly delicate when you're pregnant?"
"Yeah! Women got to be sensible! Your mother-in-law came from a long way to take care of your husband and wife. You must be considerate. Also, why don't you drink such a good soup? Isn't this wasting your mother-in-law's good thought? For the sake of the baby, you should drink it."
"That's right. You're not eating for yourself now. You are two people. For the sake of the baby, you should eat a little more. Even if you can't eat it, you have to stuff it in!"
Originally, Qiao Dong He was someone with a clumsy mouth. She never quarreled with people since little. Now she had to face a swarm of women. Rendered speechless, she had no ability to fight back.
In the end, she downed the bowl of unknown soup under everyone's watchful gaze. Then she ran out and vomited until she saw stars.
Even so, Mother Luo still didn't let her off.
That day, she didn't go to school. The vomiting resulted her feet go weak. She had no strength at all.
After Luo Jun Liang came back, she didn't dare to tell him about it. Seeing her like this, Mother Luo became more creative in tormenting her.
Within a week of Mother Luo's arrival, Qiao Dong He lost seven or eight pounds. And her whole aura became more depressed.
Seeing her like this, her classmates asked her what happened. Her only explanation was that it was caused by pregnancy.
Once it was the weekend, she made an excuse to go out. She went to second branch's side to find her grandmother.
She knew that her grandmother was disappointed with her, but she didn't know who to ask for help now. Her worry was that if it continued like this, it would affect the baby in her belly.
But when she went to the courtyard dwelling, she was told that her grandparents had gneo back to their hometown five days ago.
Qiao Dong He stood in the yard, as if struck by lightning.
Seeing her cousin like this, Da Qiao's heart twisted. She had already promised her grandmother to help.
However, she did secretly give her elder cousin sister the jade bead water.
Forcing her to stand up was one thing, while the baby was another. No matter what happen, they baby shouldn't be hurt.
One of the reason Qiao Xiu Zhi and Xue Chuan left the capital this time was to avoid Qiao Dong He. If they didn't, she won't be able tp strongly refuse when the other party come knocking.
Second was for Qiao Dong Ying.
The last time Lin Hui called back and said Qiao Dong Ying suddenly ran home and got herself drunk. It was unknown what happened to her.
After receiving this call, Qiao Xiu Zhi thought of the spy she brought back last year. Worry brewed in her heart.
So after discussing with Xue Chuan, the two decided to go to the provincial city to see the child.
Speaking of which, Qiao Dong He and Qiao Dong Ying were sisters. Their personalities couldn't be any more different.
One was too cowardly. When encountering a problem, she didn't want to solve it by herself. Instead, she want to rely on the people around her.
The other was too independent. No matter what happen, she won't tell her family; everything was kept in her heart.
If kept too long, something will definitely happen.
——
Tang Miao Shan was mad.
She had asked her elder cousin brother to teach Da Qiao a lesson. Who knew that Da Qiao was fine. While her elder cousin brother ran away without a trace!
Last weekend, she went to her eldest uncle's house. For two consecutive days, she was told her elder cousin brother hadn't been home for several days.
She knew that her elder cousin brother was purposely hiding from her!
Rascal was rascal. Told him do what he was best at and he can't do it well! Simply a trash!
This weekend, she ran to her eldest uncle's house again. This time she blocked her elder cousin brother who was about to go out!
"Elder Cousin Brother, you can't go!" Tang Miao Shan stretched out her hand to stop Tang Han Hai. Her beautiful eyes burst with fire.
Tang Han Hai yawned and replied, "What do you want?"
What 'what do you want'?
So many years, she asked him to do one thing and he didn't do it well. Instead, he find her annoying?
Tang Miao Shan's cheeks flushed with anger, "Didn't you pat your chest last time and promise you'll take care of Qiao Nian Nian? Why is there no news afterward?"
"No news is no news. You are not my father. Why should I do things for you!"
The thing that Tang Han Hai wanted to forget the most was faking it and getting throw from high by a woman. Now with Tang Miao Shan's reminder, he recalled the embarrassment from back then.
Tang Miao Shan was stunned. Following that, the burning rage set in: "Did I beg you to do it? If you can't do it, don't promise me in the first place. Even if there is no result afterward, you should tell me. Not avoiding me like this!"
Her voice was high and sharp; irritating people's eardrums. It can be seen how mad she was.
Tang Han Hai dug his ears with his little pinky finger. He impatiently uttered, "I'm avoiding you? Don't stick gold on your face. I'm not even afraid of my old man. So what would you count as! Go away!"
Tang Han Hai didn't have much affection for this younger cousin sister, Tang Miao Shan.
They were only two or three years apart in age and were often compared when they were young.
Younger Cousin Sister had good grades since little. While he was that scum. Plus Younger Cousin Sister wasn't cute at all. Sometimes, she was more domineering than him. How was he suppose to dote her?
The reason why he agreed that day was because he was too bored. In his opinion, it was just a little girl. A slight scare would get the other party crying.
Who knew they kicked the iron plate!
Seeing her elder cousin brother walking away, Tang Miao Shan's chest heaved violently with anger: "Tang Han Hai, you b*stard, stop right there!"
Tang Han Hai went to the place where he usually hung around with the gangsters. In a bad mood, he crossed his legs "Tell me, is there any way to take down those two stinky girls?"
The little gangsters look at each other. Nothing was said.
How to take down? With the other party's strength, it was completely no problem to knock them down with one hand.
The important factor was the investigation they did afterwards. Although the girl didn't come from a powerful family, her match's family wasn't simple. After knowing, how could they possibly provoke her.
"Boss, I think... we should forget it?" a little gangster said trembling heart.
Tang Han Hai glared at him: "Turn around!"
The little gangster turned around in tears and showed his buttocks.
Tang Han Hai raised his foot and kicked his butt: "You coward. Say this again, you can get out of our 'Demon on Earth' squad!"
That's right, Tang Han Hai and his gangsters have a very idiotic name, called themselves demon on earth. They felt they were playing in the world and were the most dashing and real people in this world.
If this name was heard by future generations, it was estimated that they will laugh their head out.
After this kick, no one else dared to speak, except for little gangster A.
The little gangster naively suggested: "Boss, we don't have to fight against that little girl. We can take her as a teacher and then learn all her kung fu. Once we master it, we will beat her then. So..."
The other gangsters didn't wait for him to finish. They stepped forward to cover his mouth, for fear that his life would be lost later.
This time, Tang Han Hai didn't scold him. He praised him instead: "Okay! Your proposal is very good!"
Why hadn't he thought of such a good solution before?
So Tang Han Hai decided to find Da Qiao.
However, he was a little scared of Da Qiao's divine power. So he decided to start with her friend, Cai Ru Nan.
——
Qiao Zhen Jun was stunned when he saw his parents suddenly appear at the door of the house.
It took a while to find his voice: "Dad, Mom, why did you come here all of a sudden?"
As he said that, he reached out to take the luggage bag from his parents, but was avoided.
Qiao Xiu Zhi had rode the train for ten days and ten nights. Her energy was still high: "Don't worry, I have entrusted Huo Family to take care of An Jie and Dong Lin."
Based on relationship, it was better to entrust the two children to the first branch.
It was just first branch had to open a shop every day to do business. Once it get busy, they may not have time to take care of the children. Most importantly, she couldn't be assured with that stupid couple.
In addition, when Dai Shu Fang knew they were going back to town, she offered to take care of An Jie and Dong Lin. That was why she sent the two children to Huo's house.
Qiao Zhen Jun wasn't worried about the children. His parents were the most reliable and cautious people. They will make sure the children arranged properly before going out.
Since his parents didn't need him to carry things, he could to walk a few steps ahead to call his wife and ask her to quickly make some food.
Lin Hui was shocked when she saw her parent-in-laws coming. Soon her thought went to Qiao Dong Ying.
She came out to greet to her parent-in-laws before heading to the kitchen to make food.
Qiao Zhen Jun knew that his parents left the capital for the sake of Qiao Dong He and Qiao Dong Ying. At the thought of Luo Qing's family, he frowned: "Dong He's mother-in-law gone to the capital. I'm afraid she will make things difficult for her. Say Mom, should I get Brother Luo Qing go to the capital to bring back his wife?"
Qiao Xiu Zhi shook her head: "No need. Dong He's temperament is too soft. She has to learn to deal with these things herself, instead of letting the people around her keep wiping her bum."
She and Xue Chuan were both old. Her parents were unreliable. Her siblings will have their own small families when they grow up. No one will be free to handle things for her every day.
So she had to learn to be strong. Cowardice can only result in getting beaten. People were like this. The country was like this.
When Qiao Zhen Jun heard this, he gave up.
After all, Qiao Dong He was only a niece. Not his daughter. He couldn't overstretch his hands.
Then he discussed the selection of the store and staff with his parents.
Qiao Xiu Zhi stayed in the town for two days. They had dinner with the neighbor Wei Family and Shen Family. Afterward, they caught a bus to the provincial city.
When a classmate came to notify that two people claiming to be her grandparents and was waiting for at the dormitory's entrance, Qiao Dong Ying was stunned.
Her first feeling was that something big had happened at home!
She didn't had the mind to say thank you to the classmate and rushed out like a rocket.
Once she pantingly got down to the dormitory's downstair and saw her grandparents, her face became even paler: "Grandfather, Grandmother, why did you come here? Did something happen at home?"
Seeing the child sweating profusely from running, Qiao Xiu Zhi took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat and said, "Don't worry. The family is all very well. Nothing happened."
Qiao Dong Ying felt a little self-conscious when she saw her personally wipe her sweat. She also felt fond of this intimate behavior: "Why did Grandfather and Grandmother come here?"
Qiao Xiu Zhi lovingly looked at her and replied, "Grandfather and Grandmother miss you. So we came here to see you."
When Qiao Dong Ying heard this, she paused for a moment. Her eyes turned red the next moment.
She knew that her grandparents must have known about her drunkenness from her second uncle and second aunt and came due to feeling uneasy.
From a very young age, she knew her mom doted her younger brother, An Ping the most. She and her elder sister were money-wasting things. She, the middle child, was the most easily overlooked.
She admired her grandmother very much since she was young and dreamt of growing up to become a resolute person like her grandmother. Somehow, that went astray.
In the past, her grandmother treated them grandchildren equally. Later, her grandmother doted Younger Sister Da Qiao the most. At that time, she was actually a little upset in her heart.
She wasn't jealous. Some envious and sad was present. She felt that she wasn't good enough. That was why she can't make her grandparents like her the most.
But at this moment, the cloud of grievances over the years have all vanished.
Her grandparents did dote her.
She rushed over and hugged her grandmother tightly: "Grandfather, Grandmother, I ... miss you so much too."
Qiao Xiu Zhi raised her hand and slowly stroked the child's back.
All was understood, and no words were needed.

Xue An Xu's TV series had finally started filming.
In the TV series, there was a character who play the role of a wealthy family's daughter. She had a lot of scene with Xue An Xu.
The actor was a little girl named Han Man An. She was three years younger than Xue An Xu, meaning six years old this year. She was a very beautiful and lovely little girl.
The little girl seemed taken a liking to Xue An Xu. She kept following behind him.
However, Xue An Xu found her a little annoying.
After a scene was filmed that day, everyone was resting. Han Man An came to find Xue An Xu again. She brought him delicious candy.
Xue An Xu accepted the candy without hesitation. Then his eyes were on her hair, "Why do you always tie little tails?"
Little girl, Han Man An blinked her big watery eyes, not knowing how to answer this question.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Xue An Xu answered himself, "I know. it must be because you have too little hair. Let me tell you, you'd better go eat something to grow hair. You have so little hair, maybe you'll be bald in no time!"
It's still his elder sister's hair who had the most beautiful; black, long and straight, smooth and silky. Perfectly beautiful!
Han Man An's long eyelashes blinked. Then a wail sounded out.
Xue An Xu looked bewildered. Watching her crying and running away, he calmly threw the candy into his mouth.
Oh, little girls were trouble.
The author has something to say: Xue An Xu: Little girl is trouble. I should marry Elder Brother Huo Chi with my elder sister~
