CHAPTER 11: CHAPTER 11: ONCE CHILDREN HAVE THEIR OWN FAMILIES, THEY BECOME TWO HOUSEHOLDS

When Mr. and Mrs. Qiao looked at Qiao Yue’er, her heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly squeezed out tears, "Sister... I... we canceled at the last minute and forgot to tell you."

Qiao Yue’er never thought Qiao Qiqi would actually tell them everything. Before, she wouldn’t dare speak when facing her parents.

It seemed like things were slowly slipping out of control, which made her feel a bit panicked.

"I understand that you forgot to tell me, but why didn’t you tell the truth when mom and dad couldn’t find me? It made them worry." Qiao Qiqi was not about to let her off so easily.

"I was anxious and forgot." Qiao Yue’er was truly at a loss for words. She had no way to explain, and besides, this matter was easy to check. She hadn’t even considered that Qiao Qiqi would dare to tell the truth to their parents, so she casually said it at that time with other classmates around.

Damn Qiao Qiqi, how did she suddenly change? Where did things go wrong?

Qiao Yaozu and Wu Lening listened to their two daughters and frowned, looking at the daughter they had raised for seventeen years with a scrutinizing gaze.

"You shameless hussy, stop trying to sow discord here. We know what kind of child Yue’er is, but you’re just a wild seed from the countryside, uneducated. Get out!" Old Mrs. Qiao’s wrinkled face was hideous and somewhat frightening.

Qiao Qiqi sneered and pretended to be afraid, stepping back and saying, "Daddy and Mommy, grandma looks like she’s going to eat me! I’m too scared to continue living here. I’m moving out right now!"

"Move where? This is your home, and it’s not your turn to move out!"

With the repeated pressure from his mother, and his daughter’s frightened confusion, Qiao Yaozu was also annoyed. He wasn’t without a temper, but he preferred to make sacrifices for his family.

But now his own biological daughter was about to be driven out of the house, and if he continued to endure it, what kind of man would he be?

Especially the mother’s attitude towards Qiqi was too excessive. The daughter was right; the mother looked like she wanted to eat her daughter!

"Dad, it’s fine. I’ll move in with Brother."

Qiao Qiqi intentionally mentioned Brother Qiao Jiezhe because Qiao Jiezhe had also been forced out of the Qiao Family by these people!

Of course, Qiao Yaozu thought about this too, and his face turned even grimmer.

"Qiao Yaozu, what do you mean? Are you implying that I’m the one who should move out? You unfilial son!" Old Mrs. Qiao started another round of theatrics.

Qiao Qiqi was really fed up with this old lady. As long as her father uttered a single "no," she’d wail like it was the end of the world, wishing the whole world could hear her.

"Second Brother, look at how you’re upsetting mom. You should quickly admit your mistake!" Qian Mentao pretended to soothe the old lady, assuming the stance of an elder sister-in-law and ordering her younger brother and sister-in-law.

Wu Lening had been tightly holding her daughter’s hand, tears of heartache continuously streaming down.

Qiao Yaozu also looked grim.

"Grandma, Dad isn’t asking you to move out! You’re Dad’s mother; it’s his duty to be filial to you. But it’s the big aunt’s family who should move out! Since their children have established families, they are two families! There’s no reason for them to still live together since ancient times! Dad should be filial to you, but he has no obligation to support the big aunt’s family!"

Qiao Qiqi’s words were cold and hard, yet carried a tone of contempt!

She was just shy of directly pointing at these people’s noses, calling their family a bunch of leeches!

That single sentence made the old lady’s crying abruptly stop. Qian Mentao was shocked, and the most unable to contain herself was Qiao Yun’er, who blew up instantly upon hearing they might move out.
