Chapter 361: What Qiao Zhengjun said is all about money
The incident happened suddenly, and they might have to stay in Shanghai for a while these few days. Huo Yunzheng temporarily handed over the work within the group to Huo Jiachuan and Yin Xiao, and would deal with the important matters after he returned.
As for Qiao Zhengrong's funeral arrangements, he also instructed people to make sure they were properly taken care of so that this elder could leave in a dignified manner.
Qiao Shuiqing was in a coma for more than three hours. After waking up, she still couldn't stop crying.
It was already late at night, Qiao Zhengrong passed away. Qiao Mengjie notified Qiao Mengyuan who was still on the way, and at the same time called Qiao Zhengjun.
From the time Qiao Zhengrong was admitted to the hospital for treatment until now, Lao Wu's family knew about it, but they never showed up.
Qiao Mengjie knew that they were afraid that something might happen to Qiao Zhengrong, so Shui Qing asked them for money.
"Why did you two come here just now?"
It was not until the early morning when it was light that Qiao Mengjie, who had been guarding the hospital all night, saw Qiao Zhengjun and Li Xiao, with dissatisfaction on her face.
"Brother, you left in such a hurry, what are we going to do in the future?"
As soon as Qiao Zhengjun arrived, he started crying, with snot and tears running down his face, and he did not explain why he did not answer the phone last night.
Looking at his fake tears, Qiao Mengjie was too lazy to expose them.
Qiao Zhengrong's body will be brought back today. Huo Yunzheng contacted the funeral home and notified the relatives and friends who needed to be notified. Qiao Mengjie and her husband have also been helping to notify them.
Qiao Mengyuan rushed back from another place, looking haggard. As soon as she came back, she went with Qiao Mengjie to pick up her parents.
This matter cannot be hidden from the elderly. The two old people also know that Qiao Zhengrong had undergone surgery before. To be honest, the elderly were mentally prepared and could not hide it from them.
The memorial service was held at the funeral home, and many of Qiao Zhengrong's colleagues and friends attended.
Qiao Chuchu, dressed in black, stood with Qiao Shuiqing and expressed their gratitude to those who came to pay their respects.
After her adoptive parents passed away, she has been living in her uncle's house. To Qiao Chuchu, Qiao Zhengrong has long been like a half-father to her.
Huo Ziyan, held by Huo Yunzheng's hand, looked at the people in front of him, as well as Qiao Zhengrong lying in the ice coffin.
Although he was only five years old, he already understood what the scene before him meant.
Mom's relatives left her and went to heaven, a place full of flowers.
After the memorial service, Qiao Shuiqing took Qiao Zhengrong's ashes and prepared to return to her hometown to bury her father in the cemetery in her hometown.
After a busy day, all the people in the Qiao family gathered in Qiao Zhengrong's house. Qiao Mengyuan and Qiao Mengjie accompanied their parents. They had been working for so long that their eyes were bloodshot.
"Shui Qing, your father is gone now. You have to think about what to do with you and your child in the future."
A sudden voice sounded, and Qiao Chuchu suddenly looked up and looked at Qiao Zhengjun sharply, not knowing what he meant by saying this at this time.
It didn't sound like concern, but rather something else.
"Shui Qing, you are our Qiao family's own flesh and blood. Everything we say is for your own good." Li Xiao said as he glanced at Qiao Chuchu.
She deliberately emphasized the words "her own flesh and blood", as if she was afraid that Qiao Chuchu could not hear their rejection of her.
"Your father is gone, and you are the only daughter left. We are your only uncle and aunt. We have to take good care of you so that your father can leave in peace."
Qiao Mengjie and Qiao Mengyuan looked at Li Xiao and Qiao Zhengjun together, both of them with suspicious eyes. They, as a couple, did not seem like such kind people.
How much money has Qiao Zhengjun borrowed from his elder brother, openly or secretly, over the years?
I’m afraid even Qiao Zhengjun himself doesn’t remember it!
You borrowed money but didn't return it. You have no dignity left in your heart. How dare you pretend to be a family member and talk about family affection?
"It's not easy for you to raise a child by yourself. Otherwise, you can give us your father's house and we will rent it out to you. You can move in and live with us. Your uncle knows a lot of people. See if he can introduce you to a suitable partner who can take care of you in the future."
Qiao Shuiqing held Jiaojiao in her arms and looked at Li Xiao, seeing through her purpose at a glance.
"No, I don't want to get married again. I'm not young anymore, and I have Jiaojiao with me. I can take care of myself. There's no need to rent out the house. This is my father's house. I will never rent it out."
Qiao Chuchu sat on the sofa with her arms folded in front of her. She knew what Qiao Zhengjun and Li Xiao were up to.
They wanted Qiao Shuiqing to hand over the house to them. They said they would rent it out, but it was still unclear whether they could pay the rent to Qiao Shuiqing when the time came.
Who knows, they might even scheme to turn the house into their own private property.
Weren't they still thinking about the house that her adoptive father left for them?
Qiao Zhengjun and Li Xiao were very greedy. As soon as her uncle left, they started to plot against his only daughter!
Qiao Shuiqing's refusal made Li Xiao feel a little embarrassed. She signaled Qiao Zhengjun with her eyes to let him continue.
"Shui Qing, your father is gone now, and there are still many things to do. Your father's bank deposits, his pension, and various insurances, you have to worry about all of these. How about this, after your father is buried, I will help you with these things. You are a woman, sometimes you don't understand, and you are exhausted."
Everything Qiao Zhengjun said was about money.
Is he curious about how much inheritance Qiao Zhengrong left behind?
Qiao Chuchu raised her eyebrows and glanced at Qiao Zhengjun with disdain, "How can a woman not understand? There are staff in every place, and the process is very clear."
Hearing this, Qiao Mengyuan also agreed, "It's okay, Shuiqing. Your second aunt and I are here. I won't be back for a while. If you need any help, just ask."
As she spoke, Qiao Mengyuan glanced at Qiao Zhengjun.
I haven't seen him being so caring towards Shui Qing on normal days, so how can he pretend to be a good guy now?
Is he too confident in his acting skills, or does he treat everyone else as fools?
After being scolded in front of his parents, Qiao Zhengjun didn't know what to say and could only shut up.
Huo Yunzheng had been listening beside him without interrupting.
This is the Qiao family's family affair. If his wife doesn't say anything, he can't interfere.
The family sat together to comfort Qiao Shuiqing and discuss what to do next.
Qiao Chuchu got up and went to the bathroom. When she came out, she saw Tongtong standing at the door.
Thinking that she also wanted to use the bathroom, Qiao Chuchu turned sideways and prepared to go back to the living room, but she grabbed her arm.
There is a short passage from the bathroom to the living room, which blocks the view and people in the living room cannot see this side.
Qiao Chuchu looked down at her hand holding hers and asked, "What's the matter?"
After sending her back from Beijing last time, Qiao Chuchu never saw her or contacted her again.
I heard from Qiao Shuiqing before that after Tongtong went back, Qiao Zhengjun and Li Xiao did not allow her to re-enroll in school.
Qiao Zhengjun found her a job as a cashier in a supermarket near their home, and told her to work and earn some money first so that she wouldn't end up lying around at home and becoming a useless person.
Qiao Chuchu had nothing to say to Qiao Zhengjun and Li Xiao. She had seen too many unreliable parents. Xu Ke and Han Man were both people who had been hurt by their parents.
She didn't have the energy to care about other people's affairs. Besides, it was the girl's own will to drop out of school.
Before Tongtong could say anything, tears started flowing.
Without saying a word, she knelt on the ground with a plop.
