Chapter 88 We came here especially to visit you
Xu Liantao's eyes darted around, and she suggested, "Haoqing, let's take two eggs and go see Big Sister. This time, those people from the security department definitely won't be able to stop us. We can talk about the rest when we see Big Sister."
If it's fake, they can use this opportunity to build a relationship with her and ask for some benefits.
If that's true... then they should completely sever ties with her, relay her father's words, and say that whether she lives or dies is her own choice, and has nothing to do with them.
Qian Haoqing used to listen to his eldest sister, then his father and stepmother, and now he listens to his wife.
Hearing Xu Liantao say this, he nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Okay, I'll listen to you, wife, you're so smart."
Xu Liantao went inside, picked up two eggs from the basket, thought for a moment, then took three more. She then dug up a small handful of spinach from her private plot before walking towards the factory with Qian Haoqing.
Qian Haoqing felt incredibly distressed looking at the contents of the basket.
"Why would she need to bring so much stuff? She's my older sister, how can she accept my things? She's always the one giving me things!"
Xu Liantao rolled her eyes at him: "Can things be the same now as before? Who did she marry before? Who is the man beside her now? Don't do anything stupid or bad, just listen to me."
Qian Haoqing chuckled foolishly twice, not daring to say anything more, and followed Xu Liantao eagerly.
Soon, the two arrived at the factory gate.
Xu Liantao took the initiative to speak with the security personnel, explaining that she was Zhuang Qingxiang's sister-in-law and had come to visit her after hearing about her accident.
As he spoke, he lifted the small basket to indicate that he had brought other things with him.
The security personnel were all overwhelmed with work today, spinning like tops. Only one person was left on duty at the gate. Looking at Xu Liantao and Qian Haoqing's country-style attire, he thought for a moment and said, "Our factory doesn't allow outsiders in right now. If you two want to come in, you'll have to wait a while. I'll have someone ask Director Lu."
They blocked the person outside the gate, and the person ran out to find someone to deliver a message.
The messenger went to Lu Congyue's house only to find that Lu Congyue was not home, Zhuang Qingxiang was unconscious, and there was only a helpless five-year-old girl left. After thinking for a moment, he simply went to the door and told them to go in and check on Zhuang Qingxiang.
It's not unreasonable to take care of your younger brother and sister-in-law, is it?
So, Qian Haoqing and Xu Liantao excitedly stepped into the factory gate and followed the people to Lu Congyue's house.
The courtyard gate was open, and there was no one in the courtyard. Qian Haoqing and Xu Liantao exchanged glances, then simultaneously cried out with mournful faces, "Big sister, big sister..."
She went into the house while crying and shouting.
Xiao Qianyue was guarding the kang (a heated brick bed) when she heard the noise and was startled.
When he ran out and saw that it was the two of them, he was furious.
"How did you get in? Get out, get out now!"
She would always remember following her mother to the door of the two men's house. They clearly saw her mother, but they closed the door and wouldn't open it no matter what they did, leaving her mother crying outside.
They are not good people!
She tried to push the two people out, but Xu Liantao didn't even notice her. She pushed her aside and went straight into the inner room.
Qian Haoqing didn't take Xiao Qianyue seriously either.
This little girl isn't my eldest sister's biological child; she should have been sent to be raised by that old woman, Li Shufen, long ago.
"Get out of my way! I'm here to see my older sister. What are you, a little bastard, bastard, yelling about?"
Spitting out a slur, Qian Haoqing followed Xu Liantao swaggering into the inner room.
When the two men saw Zhuang Qingxiang, their fake, pitiful crying stopped.
Her once beautiful face is now bluish-purple, and it looks quite frightening.
"Big sister..." Qian Haoqing rushed to the head of the kang and howled.
Zhuang Qingxiang, who was sleeping, was suddenly startled awake. She instinctively tried to get up to check if any more thugs had broken in, but accidentally aggravated her injury, causing her to gasp in pain.
However, after the pain subsided, my mind cleared completely, and I finally saw Qian Haoqing's tearful face.
Upon closer inspection, Xu Liantao was also there.
Her brow furrowed slightly as she endured the pain and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Big sister, we heard you had an accident, so we came to see you." Xu Liantao said hurriedly, raising the basket in her hand, "This is to help you recover."
Zhuang Qingxiang's lips twitched, her eyes full of mockery.
She didn't need to look to know that the contents of that basket were worthless; apart from the bunch of greens, there were at most two eggs.
"Where's Yueyue?" She asked expressionlessly, not seeing her daughter.
"Big sister, that girl isn't your biological child, yet you're taking her along to enjoy the good life... What were you thinking?" Qian Haoqing grumbled discontentedly. "I'm your own brother, shouldn't you be taking me along to enjoy the good life?"
"Big sister, don't listen to Haoqing's nonsense. We didn't mean anything by it. We just heard a lot of gossip from the villagers and we felt bad. We were worried about you, so we came to see how you were doing and if there was anything we could help you with," Xu Liantao said kindly.
Zhuang Qingxiang, however, did not believe that she was so kind.
This sister-in-law is the most cunning; she has Qian Haoqing completely under her thumb.
Of course, she was also being manipulated by Qian Haoqing as an excuse. Even after she got married, she would often come over with Qian Haoqing to beg for money.
She didn't speak, and Xu Liantao didn't feel embarrassed at all, maintaining her good-natured demeanor.
"Big sister, what happened to you? Tell Haoqing and me, and see if there's anything we can do to help?"
"What are the villagers saying?" she asked calmly.
Xu Liantao exclaimed, "That's a very harsh way of putting it! Father got angry."
"Yes, Dad came to our house and scolded me." Qian Haoqing said aggrievedly. "Big sister, you've made such a fuss. I get no share of the good life, but I always get scolded. I don't care, you have to make it up to me."
Xu Liantao quickly added, "Yes, Dad gave us a really nasty scolding today. Big sister, don't blame me for asking so directly... were there really two men?"
Zhuang Qingxiang knew from their conversation how terrible the rumors were going on, and her anger flared up, causing her to ache all over.
She gritted her teeth and said resentfully, "Since that's the case, you should leave now and not get involved with me, lest you ruin your reputations."
Xu Liantao was speechless for a moment, not expecting her to admit it so openly.
Qian Haoqing was shocked: "Big sister, weren't you doing well with Factory Director Lu? Why did you go and seduce another man? I heard he's some good-for-nothing from the next village. What were you thinking? This is terrible! Do you think Factory Director Lu will still want you? What will you do if you get kicked out?"
Zhuang Qingxiang was so angry that she couldn't speak, while Qian Haoqing spoke more and more fluently.
"Big sister, you're really disrespecting your family! Don't you know your younger brother and two younger sisters are all single? You're ruining the family reputation... what if they can't find good partners?"
"Let me tell you, Father is really angry. After something like this happened, you... Father thinks it would be better if you were dead... This isn't my opinion, it's his!"
Qian Haoqing finished speaking in one breath, and rolled his eyes at Zhuang Qingxiang in anger, as if she were some kind of filthy thing.
Xu Liantao's attitude was much gentler.
