The Qiao family was here.
"Dad, Mom, why are you here?" When Qiaoqiao saw Father Qiao and Mother Qiao standing at the door of the ward, she couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Qiao Qiao, you scared Mom and Dad to death." Aunt Joe walked over and hugged Qiao Qiao tightly.
Qiao Qiao was still in a daze. She blinked and tilted her head to look at Aunt Joe, who was hugging her tightly. She couldn't help asking, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Qiao Hui, who was wearing mature makeup, jumped out and said to Qiao Qiao, "Sis, aren't you too slow? You didn't even know you were pregnant. You don't know, but Mom fainted when she heard that you almost had a miscarriage. "
"Really?" Qiao Qiao exclaimed in surprise.
Aunt Joe wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and laughed foolishly. "Don't listen to Qiao Hui's nonsense. Mom didn't faint. Haha."
Qiao Hui pursed her lips and said unhappily with her hands on her hips, "I'm not talking nonsense. Didn't you collapse to the ground when you heard that Sis had a miscarriage? Our whole family was so scared that we even called an ambulance … "
Qiao Qiao felt ashamed when she heard this.
She looked at her mother and said sadly, "Mom, I'm sorry. I didn't expect this to scare you."
"It's fine, it's fine. Don't listen to her nonsense." Aunt Joe hurriedly shook her head. She turned to glare at Qiao Hui and said reproachfully, "Shut your mouth. No one will treat you as a mute!"
With that, she turned to face Qiao Qiao and smiled. "Quick, let Mom take a look. We haven't seen each other for so long. I didn't expect you to still be a little girl in Mom's heart. In the blink of an eye, you're going to be a mother. Time flies."
Qiao Qiao smiled when she heard this.
Ever since they met at the wedding, she hadn't seen Aunt Joe and Father Qiao. Now that she thought about it, it had been almost half a year.
She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt that Aunt Joe was much more haggard than before. There were many new wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, making her look older.
Looking at Aunt Joe like this, her eyes instantly reddened. She hugged Aunt Joe again and sobbed. "Mom, I'm sorry. I've neglected you guys for so long. I should have come home more often... I'm sorry."
When Aunt Joe heard Qiao Qiao's sobs, her eyes also moistened. She hurriedly stroked Qiao Qiao's back and comforted her. "It's fine, it's fine. As long as you still have us in your heart, that's enough."
Qiao Hui wasn't interested in this family drama at all. In any case, in the Qiao family, other than her sister, everyone else seemed to have been picked up from the streets. She glanced around the ward in boredom and sighed. "It's so good to be rich. You're hospitalized in a VIP ward. Unlike us, we tremble with fear every time we go to the hospital, afraid that the doctor will say that we need to be hospitalized."
"Xiao Hui, you should also speak less." Father Qiao's eyes were already slightly red. When he heard Qiao Hui's words, he couldn't help but stop her. This girl was becoming more and more rebellious, and they were a little overwhelmed.
Qiao Hui snorted indignantly. Everything she said was the truth. She didn't know what was embarrassing about it. Her parents were so vain.
Her eyes turned and landed on the tablet next to Qiao Qiao's bed. Her interest was piqued. "Wow, isn't this the latest tablet launched by He Clan's Sandm Technology Company?"
"Yeah, I think so. Shaochen was afraid that I'd be bored in the hospital, so he brought me some gadgets." Qiao Qiao didn't care much about these things. She didn't know if it was the latest model. As long as it could be used, it was fine.
However, Qiao Hui's eyes lit up. She hugged the tablet tightly and smiled at Qiao Qiao. "Sister, lend me this to play with."
"Xiao Hui! Can you behave? "Aunt Joe glared angrily at Qiao Hui and scolded her unhappily.
Mother He's sudden voice startled Qiao Hui. She felt gloomy after being scolded by Mother He. She pursed her lips but still refused to put down the tablet. "Isn't it just for fun? It's not like it's worth much to Sis. If she wants it, Brother-in-law will buy it for her."
"You're still talking!" Mother He suddenly stood up and pretended to hit her. Qiao Hui quickly hid behind Father Qiao.
Qiao Qiao quickly stopped Aunt Joe and tried to smooth things over. "Mom, don't be angry. Isn't it just a tablet? If Xiao Hui likes it, she can take it. It won't get in the way. "
Aunt Joe turned around and looked at Qiao Qiao embarrassedly. Her eyes reddened even more. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded. "Qiao Qiao, I'm sorry to trouble you. Don't spoil this wretched girl in the future."
"Mom …" Qiao Qiao sighed.
Why did she feel that Aunt Joe had become so timid after coming to A City this time? However, this made Qiao Qiao feel a little uneasy.
She didn't know that Aunt Joe had almost gone crazy from the guilt in her heart when she found out that she almost had a miscarriage because of being beaten and scolded. Aunt Joe then thought of the grudge she had with Mother He in the past and blamed herself even more. She always felt that she was the reason why Mother He treated Qiao Qiao so coldly.
Therefore, she was extra careful when coming to A City this time, for fear of causing any trouble to Qiao Qiao again.
Originally, they didn't intend to take Qiao Hui with them. However, since Qiao Hui had sex with another boy, she didn't dare to let Qiao Hui out of her sight for fear that she would cause trouble again.
Who would have thought that less than ten minutes after they arrived, this damned woman would actually cause trouble again?
At this time, Mother He, who was in another hospital, also came to visit. When she saw the room full of people in Qiao Qiao's ward, she was stunned. When she saw who was in the room, her face immediately became unnatural.
Aunt Joe was shocked when she saw that it was Mother He. She quickly bounced up from the bed with a smile on her round face, looking a little humble. She greeted Mother He, "I haven't seen you for a few days. In-law, how have you been recently?"
Mother He coldly swept a glance at Auntie Qiao. No matter how attentive Auntie Qiao was to her and greet her with a smile, she couldn't bring herself to have a good impression of this woman. This was probably an innate hostility.
However, no matter how much she hated Aunt Joe, this woman was Qiao Qiao's mother after all. Moreover, Qiao Qiao was pregnant now, so she had to think about her grandson.
Mother He forced herself to smile. Although it was very faint, it was better than nothing. She nodded and said, "It's alright. Thank you for the trouble."
Aunt Joe was flattered by Mother He's gentle words. She quickly bowed a few more times to Mother He and said, "It's no trouble, no trouble."
As she said that, she seemed to have thought of something. She quickly said to Father Qiao, "Father, hurry up and bring in the old hen at the door."
Father Qiao nodded and turned to leave. He soon came back in with a linen bag in his hand. There were two holes in the middle, and a chicken head poked out of each hole.
Aunt Joe said with a smile, "In-law, these are free-range chickens we brought from our hometown. They are much more nutritious than normal chickens. Take them to nourish your bodies."
The unique smell of chickens spread throughout the room. Mother He couldn't help but take a step back, away from the two chickens. It was as if they weren't chickens, but evil pathogens.
"In-law?" When Aunt Joe saw the smile on Mother He's face fade, she thought that she had done something wrong again. Her face was a little pale, and she called out to Mother He in fear.
Mother He came back to her senses. She suppressed the disdain in her heart and held her breath as she said to Aunt Joe, "Thank you. It's better if you put the chickens outside. Qiao Qiao is pregnant now, and she needs enough peace to nourish the fetus."
Secondly, the smell of the chickens was too unpleasant.
Aunt Joe nodded. "Alright then. When you go back to Family He later, you can bring them back. Qiao Qiao should drink some soup too. It's good for her body."
Qiao Qiao nodded seriously.
The few of them chatted for a while. Mother He's gaze kept inadvertently moving to Qiao Hui, who was busy playing games. Qiao Hui had a very pungent smell of cosmetics on her body. It wasn't good for pregnant women.
Mother He put on a faint smile and asked, "I remember that Qiao Hui is graduating from high school this year, right? She's only 18 years old, but she's already so mature? "
"Uh, she likes that. Haha, our family has always been free-range. It's all up to the child to decide. We usually don't interfere." When they were outside, Aunt Joe would still do her best to protect the child's reputation and not let outsiders gossip about her.
However, these words sounded very hypocritical and grating in Qiao Hui's ears.
From what she knew, Aunt Joe was a very vain person. What she had said just now wasn't out of consideration for her. It was obvious that she was afraid that she would embarrass herself.
Qiao Hui added in a strange tone, "Mom, if you didn't interfere, why did you throw away my cosmetics? Don't you know how much I spent on them? "
Aunt Joe's face instantly darkened. Mother He's expression also became a little unnatural.
When she thought about it, she seemed to have an even worse impression of Qiao Hui than Aunt Joe. She had no respect for her elders, was willful, and had a sharp tongue. She was almost synonymous with Qiao Hui.
It was difficult for such a person to be refined.
She said indifferently, "I shouldn't be the one saying this, but since we're all family, I won't stand on ceremony. I'll just say it."
Aunt Joe nodded repeatedly and said, "In-law, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't mind it."
Mother He was very satisfied with Aunt Joe's attitude. She said, "Qiao Qiao is pregnant now. We should try our best not to bring in things that are harmful to the pregnant woman's health. Otherwise, the fetus will be affected."
What she said made sense. Aunt Joe nodded in agreement and said, "In-law, you're right. We won't bring those things in. Don't worry."
"Okay." Mother He smiled and turned to look at Qiao Hui, who was sitting at the end of the bed. She said gently and politely, "Qiao Hui, for the sake of your sister's child, don't wear heavy makeup when you see your sister in the future, okay?"
When Qiao Hui heard this, she slammed the tablet on the bed and glanced at Mother He impatiently. Don't think that I don't know that Mother He was scolding me indirectly just now. Didn't she mean that she disliked me?
