Chapter 48

Last night, after her parents had calmed down, she mentioned this matter to them.

How did her parents respond?

After a few seconds of silence, Fu Yujing said in embarrassment: “Bao’er, it’s not that Mom doesn’t want to, but Qiao Yaozu is from another family. How can your own child have fewer clothes? Why don’t you make clothes for your own child first, but make clothes for someone else’s child first?”

But Qiao Yaozu is her biological brother!

Zhang Baoer only dared to say this in her heart.

She understood that ever since Qiao Yaozu came to live with her, her parents decided to support Qiao Yaozu, which made her eldest brother angry and he moved to the army and didn’t come back often, so her parents’ feelings for her faded a lot.

She also blamed her elder brother.

Yaozu is her own brother! Her biological parents are in prison, and Yaozu has no relatives. Can she just leave him alone?

My parents are now in the yard, so shouldn’t we let go of the past? Why are they still holding on to the Zhang family? The rest of the Zhang family didn’t do anything wrong!

If she really doesn’t care about Yaozu, what will happen?

After all, her eldest brother had lived with her for many years and didn’t see her difficulties at all. He even protested to her parents by moving out, which embarrassed them and made her feel like a nobody.

She doesn’t understand, where is her elder brother’s filial piety?

How can brother be so heartless!

After thinking about it all night, I was so angry that I didn’t even have breakfast. I sneaked into Yaozu’s room and told him about the cloth coupons guiltily.

Qiao Yaozu’s face froze when he heard the reason, but he quickly adjusted his mood and said, “It’s okay, sister. I can wear these clothes, so it’s okay for me. It’s just… I just see your situation now, sister, I’m too ignorant.

Yesterday I wanted to slap that bitch in the face for telling her to talk nonsense! To sow discord between you and Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang!”

Zhang Baoer was angry all night. Wasn’t she aggrieved?

Her parents were heartless and didn’t understand her. They didn’t give her cloth coupons, which made her lose face in front of her younger brother. Her eldest brother was unfilial and protested her existence by not coming home.

Only this brother cares about her.

No wonder people say blood ties are the most important, and that if they are not your own children, you won’t care about them? Are all the feelings you have had for so many years in vain?

Once the anger is over, all that is left is grievances and tears come easily.

Zhang Baoer: “Brother, you are still the best…”

Zhang Baoer threw herself into the other’s arms and burst into tears.

Qiao Yaozu patted her on the back while brainwashing Zhang Baoer, speaking well of her biological parents: “Actually, your parents are very good people and love us, otherwise they wouldn’t have taken the risk to switch you with Qiao Yu. Wasn’t it for you to live a good life? Your parents are incompetent and were born in a bad family, but they fought for a good life for you and let you enjoy a good life in the city. They, they were just confused for a moment…”

…Bullshit.

He dared to bet that his parents switched the baby simply because they did not expect that the truth would be revealed one day.

How much do you love Zhang Baoer?

Ha, my parents treat the other sisters just averagely, but that’s because there’s an outsider like Qiao Yu who can bully them as much as they want.

Isn’t it for his son that he let his sisters marry well?

But, this idiot in front of me doesn’t know that.

In order to narrow the distance between him and Zhang Baoer and make Zhang Baoer not feel disgusted with his parents who lived in the fenced yard, he of course said nice things.

Zhang Baoer cried even harder, “It’s all my fault. I harmed my parents and I didn’t take good care of you…”

“Sister, don’t cry. Think about why you can’t get the cloth coupons? Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang even rented the yard to me. It’s just a few cloth coupons. Why don’t they give it to me?”

Zhang Baoer sobbed and left Qiao Yaozu’s arms, her eyes full of tears, and asked in confusion: “Why?”

“Are you stupid? Isn’t it Qiao Yu’s appearance that changed Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang’s mind?”

Zhang Baoer was so stunned that she stopped crying instantly.

Her heart was filled with panic, as if a dark hand from hell was reaching out to her heart, tightly squeezing it and making it hard for her to breathe.

Seeing her like this, Qiao Yaozu obviously heard her.

Zhang Baoer was raised to be a bit stupid, but she was able to see her own situation clearly and stay alert. In this way, the next thing is easier to say.

“Sister, have you found a job in Jing City?”

Zhang Baoer bit her lower lip, her face pale, “No, no…”

Qiao Yaozu pretended to be surprised, “How could there be none? You are a technical secondary school student, you are better than high school students, and you can find people even if you are a high school student… Could it be that Grandpa Zhang is suppressing you?”

Zhang Baoer’s face turned even paler.

She wanted to say no, Grandpa didn’t…

But his throat was choked and he couldn’t utter a word.

Ever since my grandfather found out about her background, he refused to see her.

If this isn’t dislike, what is?

Qiao Yaozu began to use drastic measures: “Sister, Grandpa Zhang doesn’t like you, and Zhang Zhan has the same attitude. If you lose the care of Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang, can you still stay in Beijing? Can you go to the countryside with your delicate appearance?

Sister, the countryside is not a place for ordinary people to stay. You can only dig for food in the fields, swinging a hoe, and you have to bend over all your life. Do you want to live that kind of life?”

“Yaozu, what should I do? I don’t want to go to the countryside, I just want to stay in the city.” Zhang Baoer was panicked.

Qiao Yaozu raised his lips and said, “Sister, I’m here. I will definitely not let you end up like that. In fact, this matter is very simple. Think about when did Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang change their attitude towards you?”

“Yes…it was yesterday, when Qiao Yu came back?”

“Yes, the focus is on Qiao Yu. If we destroy her, will she still be able to jump around? By then, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang will only have you as their daughter, right?”

Zhan Zhangzhou has a job, so Uncle Zhang’s future job will fall on you, right? You don’t have to be afraid of Qiao Yu anymore, and you don’t have to act according to Grandpa Zhang’s mood.”

“No, no.” Zhang Baoer still maintained some rationality, “I can’t do this. If grandpa knew, he would beat me to death!”

“Sister! Calm down! Listen to me!” Seeing her shaking her head, he was really worried that her brains would shake out.

This sister is not smart.

Qiao Yaozu held her shoulders and said sternly, “Sister, I will be the bad guy in this matter, and you just need to reap the rewards! So you don’t have to worry about grandpa finding out. Even if he does, I won’t betray you.”

“No, brother, how can you do such a bad thing? How can I explain to my parents when they come out?”

Qiao Yaozu: “We are siblings after all. For your future, I will fight for it!”

“No, we can’t do this…”

Although she said so, Zhang Baoer’s tone dropped a bit, and she was obviously shaken.

Qiao Yaozu felt a hint of sarcasm in his heart, but on his face he looked like he was willing to sacrifice himself for his family: “Sister, let me do this, you just lie down! But… hiring someone to do something costs money.”

“No, I can’t agree to this. Yaozu, you listen to me, we won’t do anything bad.”

“Do you want to go to the countryside, marry a farmer, and live a life of mediocrity?! Do you know how many children country people have to have? At least three! To have a prosperous family! If you don’t give birth to a son, you have to keep giving birth! Are you willing to give up your partner in Beijing? Are you willing to give up everything in the Zhang family?”

Can’t bear to…

Zhang Baoer covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down her face.

But she also knew that if she allowed the strong-willed Qiao Yu to continue, she would have no way to survive.
