FSC [QT] Chapter 85.2

It is now the third year since the college entrance examination was resumed.

Zhangjiagou had produced seven college students and more than 20 high school and technical secondary school students. Some of them had graduated and were already working. Their lives had completely changed.

Everyone in the village knew that such changes were brought about by Ye Wu, and all those who benefited from it were grateful to her.

Compared with Ye Wu, Jin Qiaoqiao was somewhat eclipsed.

Many women who admired Ye Wu thought that the older generation always compared her with Ye Wu, which was an insult to Ye Wu.

“You are still young and don’t understand. What’s the use of being a woman? The most important thing is to find a capable man who loves you.”

The older generation disagreed, and neither side could convince the other.

Was Ye Wu coming back?

Jin Qiaoqiao, who was preparing to go home to get some clothes for the changing season, listened to the argument in the field with a dazed expression.

She quickened her pace, fearing that those people would notice her.

In the past twelve years, Ye Wu had not come back very often, and Jin Qiaoqiao always deliberately avoided the days when she came back. Over the years, she had rarely thought of that woman.

“Oh, the busy man is finally back. How come you finally remember that there is an old woman at home?”

Old Mrs. Zhang was planting vegetables in the yard. When she saw Jin Qiaoqiao coming back, she spoke in a sarcastic tone.

“You haven’t given me the alimony for this month yet. Are you trying to default on your debt?”

Old Mrs. Zhang didn’t like this daughter-in-law. She had disliked her since twelve years ago. In these twelve years, she only gave birth to a granddaughter, which made Old Mrs. Zhang hate the woman in front of her even more.

“Mom, Shengnan has started school. A Children’s Palace¹The Children’s Palace (in Chinese: 少年宫) is a public facility in China where children engage in extra-curricular activities. has been opened in the county. Youdong and I have enrolled our child in calligraphy and dance classes, so our monthly expenses have increased. I am afraid that we can’t give you 20 yuan from Youdong’s salary every month like before.”

Jin Qiaoqiao lowered her eyes.

In recent years, she rarely argued with this group of people like she did when she was young.

After realizing the difference between herself and Ye Wu, she even thought about learning Ye Wu’s way of dealing with things and repairing the relationship with them.

But the rift was still caused after all.

Jin Qiaoqiao really couldn’t stand the greed of these people, and the relationship became colder in the end.

Eight years ago, she finally got pregnant and gave birth to a daughter.

Perhaps it was really because of her physical constitution that made it difficult for her to get pregnant. Just like in her previous life, she never got pregnant with a second child.

Fortunately, Zhang Youdong also liked daughters and didn’t mean to force her to give birth to a son. Jin Qiaoqiao was relieved.

But just because Zhang Youdong didn’t mind, it didn’t mean that his family didn’t mind.

Old Mrs. Zhang wanted to instigate him to divorce and remarry. Then, several brothers and sisters-in-law who had already separated from their families saw the opportunity and directly asked Zhang Youdong and his wife to adopt a child from them so that the child could inherit their property in the future.

Zhang Youdong and Jin Qiaoqiao were not stupid, so how could they agree to such a ridiculous proposal?

But the Zhang family never gave up in these years. Old Mrs. Zhang was also persuaded by the other children to join the lobbying army.

Zhang Youdong was a very filial son. He could accept many unreasonable requests from Old Mrs. Zhang and even let his wife suffer in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but he would never agree to the adoption.

Seeing that her son was determined, Old Mrs. Zhang simply changed a way to transfer her son Zhang Youdong’s assets.

At this moment, Jin Qiaoqiao had moved with Zhang Youdong to the staff dormitory of the food factory.

Because Zhang Youdong’s qualifications were not high enough when they moved, he was only assigned a very small single room, which was only big enough to put a bed and a table. The kitchen and bathroom were shared with more than a dozen other families.

Even though Zhang Youdong’s qualifications had increased over the years, the area was only slightly larger.

So far, Zhang Youdong, his wife, and their daughter who had already had separate beds had used simple curtains as partitions, so there was no way to add an Old Mrs. Zhang.

When the family was divided, Old Mrs. Zhang said that she would live with Zhang Youdong. Now that Zhang Youdong and his wife had moved to the city, the alimony that should be given could not be reduced.

Now Zhang Youdong had a monthly salary of 60 yuan, and he had to give 20 yuan to the old lady. In addition, the allowance he sent home before he retired was all the old lady’s private money.

The old lady kept some of the money for herself and used the rest to subsidize other children under various names. In any case, she couldn’t let the money-losing child born by Jin Qiaoqiao get any benefit.

Jin Qiaoqiao endured all of this. She noticed Zhang Youdong’s foolish filial piety. The more she endured, the more Zhang Youdong’s heart would lean towards her. One day, this man would not be able to tolerate his biological mother.

Jin Qiaoqiao had been wondering if Ye Wu had done the same thing in her previous life. She laid out the plan for more than ten years and endured for more than ten years. After Zhang Youdong became rich, she began to close the net and kicked away this group of vampires.

“What? Why should a little girl study? You are so rich, why don’t you take your nephews over and train them to be talented?”

When Old Mrs. Zhang heard that her son and daughter-in-law were actually going to deduct her living expenses for a money-loser girl, she was immediately furious.
