Chapter 280: Indifferent Attitude
This made Qiao Yicheng feel unwilling and he kept saying that he would return all the banquet expenses to Qiao Erqiang in the future.
Regarding this issue, Qiao Erqiang said something meaningful to Sanli and other relatives: "We can only become a family if we are destined to be together!"
Originally, Sanli's high school entrance exam was much earlier than Wen Ju'an's college entrance exam, and Sanli was admitted to one of the top three key high schools in the city with excellent results. At that time, Qiao Erqiang wanted to help her arrange a celebration ceremony in advance.
Since Qiao Yicheng went north to study, Qiao Simei has been reborn. Recently, she has suddenly listened to Qiao Erqiang's instructions very much, studied hard every day, and made great progress in her studies. She was originally a smart child, but she had never focused on her studies before; now with the help of Qi Weimin and Sanli, she has made up for all the past shortcomings.
Because of the premature love affair, Qiao Erqiang was very unhappy and became much colder towards her. He no longer cared for her as much as before. Simei also knew this and deliberately fought with Qiao Erqiang.
Last time at Qiao Yicheng's engagement banquet, she was fascinated by the handsome appearance of her second brother Qiao Erqiang, and since then she has regarded him as an idol! She knows that her second brother appreciates quiet, obedient and good-looking girls, like Sanli. Therefore, since she was in junior high school, Simei has been determined to become the object of her second brother's favor and to do her best to imitate Sanli.
Although studying hard to win Qiao Erqiang's favor was the main reason, another benefit was that she could use this as an excuse to beg Qiao Erqiang to take her shopping and share all kinds of delicious food; in her heart, this was undoubtedly a good opportunity to be with her prince charming!
Erqiang was touched by Simei's changes and thought that she was really interested in those new things and studied so hard, so he gave them to her as rewards, such as various dresses, plush dolls, "Jinghua Chunmeng" books, and even an elegant silk scarf, a fashionable hat and a pair of casual jeans.
At the same time, when enjoying the feast of food, the delicacies such as Jinling's xiaolongbao, Liuhe Jinmen pork, Hongxiang sugar-fried chestnuts, Ma Xiangxing restaurant's delicacies, of course the dessert gourd, the fragrant pot stickers, stewed dried bean curd and assorted glutinous rice balls, as well as the vegetarian restaurant - Lvliu Ju's delicacies have become the choice of tasting.
Sometimes I would visit famous attractions such as Nanjing Ming City Wall, Confucius Temple, and Xuanwu Lake.
However, this change often forced Sanli to stay at home alone and feel sad, and she would occasionally quarrel with Simei.
Today, Simei has been successfully admitted to high school; however, Qiao Erqiang's Jojo Fried Chicken restaurant has encountered some problems recently.
It was late at night, and the shop had just closed. Ma Suqin and several other workers were busy cleaning up. At this time, an unusually tall and burly northerner rushed into the shop. He had broad shoulders and a handsome appearance, and behaved like a reckless beast, which frightened Ma Suqin.
The man threw the dirty mop in Ma Suqin's hand to the ground and kicked it away, leaving dirty marks on the ground.
The man shouted at her: "Give me the money!"
Ma Suqin replied: "I don't have any money, and I wouldn't give it to you even if I did."
Then, the man suddenly attacked Ma Suqin. His burly figure showed unexpected agility; his fist as big as a bowl quickly hit her back.
The employees around were all shocked. After a moment of confusion, they rushed forward to stop it.
However, this bear-like man was extremely strong and easily pushed away several thin workers with just a wave of his hand. At this time, a female employee ran out to seek security.
However, the man was still roaring: "I am educating my wife, who has the guts to interfere!"
Then, the man grabbed Ma Suqin's hairline and said, "Give me the money, or...you decide!"
Under the man's bear-like force, Ma Suqin twisted her body to avoid the pain, but she finally took out a pile of banknotes from her arms and threw them in front of the man, muttering, "Take it."
After getting what he wanted, the man loosened his restraints, squatted down and counted the money in his hand one by one.
Not long after, an employee came to report, and Qiao Erqiang rushed over afterwards. He immediately had a clear impression of the strong man who was counting money with his head bent - he must be Ma Suqin's ex-husband!
Qiao Erqiang rushed forward and kicked the man to the ground. He raised the abandoned mop and prepared to hit him, cursing loudly: "Who gave you the guts to do this in my shop? Why don't you even ask whose place this is!"
The burly man started to fight back, but after Qiao Erqiang punched him right on the bridge of his nose, he could only hold his face and wail; then he was kicked in the vitals and curled up on the ground.
After dealing with all of this, several male employees followed instructions and tied him up with ropes; then he told them to call the police to report a robbery, a fight, and serious disruption to store operations.
When hearing the word "robbery", Ma Suqin immediately interrupted Qiao Erqiang: "Boss, can you please not call the police? That's my ex-spouse! We are from the same village, and he is not a bad person, just..." Before she finished her words, she was interrupted by Qiao Erqiang.
He met her eyes firmly: "Although he is your ex, what does it have to do with me? This is a business operation place. If I allow someone's relatives to do whatever they want, it will be a mess! Besides, he is your ex-husband, so you have nothing to do with each other now."
Ma Suqin stopped talking for a moment after hearing this. Thinking of how her ex-husband kept bothering her, she felt exhausted both physically and mentally.
"An ex-husband who behaves so despicable is not worthy of forgiveness at all! Those who bully women and steal their money are undoubtedly the lowest scum!" Qiao Erqiang roared.
Soon, the police arrived to handle the situation. After all, JOJO Fried Chicken is currently one of the city's major taxpayers and a well-known chain brand. Facing such blatant provocation, Ma Suqin's ex-husband obviously encountered a strong challenge. The police showed no tolerance for such violent robbery and malicious injury, and immediately filed a case for handling.
Not long after, news came that Ma Suqin's ex-husband was sentenced to more than ten years in prison.
During this time, under Qiao Erqiang's constant care and attention, Ma Suqin gradually opened her heart to him and even occasionally followed him back to the Qiao family as a guest. Although Sanli and Simei felt uncomfortable with Ma Suqin's presence, Qiao Erqiang did not clearly explain the exact relationship between them.
However, Ma Suqin was very hardworking. Once she arrived at home, she would automatically help with cooking and cleaning. This made Sanli very curious and she repeatedly asked Qiao Erqiang what their relationship was; but Qiao Erqiang always avoided the question and said vaguely: "Sanli, don't you think she is very similar to your mother in some ways?"
Simei, who was still young and had almost forgotten what her mother Wei Shuying looked like, did not have much feeling; but Sanli, who was slightly older, had a sense of déjà vu and acquiesced to Ma Suqin's role in the family with a sigh.
In fact, as Qiao Erqiang's younger sister, Sanli knew that she could not really develop a relationship with him that went beyond that of brother and sister.
On the contrary, Simei quickly accepted Ma Suqin and treated her as her own sister. And some of the things Qiao Erqiang gave to Ma Suqin were also to make it easier for Ma Suqin to win the favor of Simei.
In the case of the same gender, the two women can reach a consensus on some topics, especially since they are only eight years apart in age (Ma Suqin is now 26 years old, which is similar to the actual situation of being eight years older than Qiao Erqiang). Therefore, Ma Suqin can more easily find common ground with Sanli and Simei on how to dress and topics between women.
Time flies, and it's time for Simei Middle School to graduate. Although her grades are poor, she still successfully enters an ordinary senior high school. At the same time, Qiao Qiqi also started his junior high school career under the careful selection of his second brother. This school is famous for its excellent education quality.
On the first day of school, his head teacher asked him to take a test to assess his academic level. Through this test, the teacher had a certain understanding of his basic knowledge. The teacher looked at his answer sheet and sighed, "What a headache!"
In particular, the mathematics teacher was particularly dissatisfied with Qiao Qiqi's performance, thinking that he was like a dead wooden stake that was difficult to talk about; so he appointed a tall student as Qiao Qiqi's assistant.
The boy is one of the top students in his grade, and also a little leader with many followers. He is full of vigor, strong and energetic like a sunny pony.
But for some reason, he was always prejudiced against Qiao Qiqi. Just one week later, he played a prank on his desk seat with super glue, which completely ruined Qiqi's newly bought new pants.
When Qiao Erqiang learned about this, he immediately taught Qiao Qiqi a lesson, saying, "Even though you have learned Tai Chi for such a long time, you still retain your timid character. Don't you want to resist?"

A group of children had already been waiting in a dilapidated yard.
"Gu Jun said that these people are friends who are willing to help you." One of the children explained.
They stood in a row to form a passage. Gu Jun signaled Qiao Qiqi to walk through the children. Every time he passed through a person, he would be slapped. According to Gu Jun's explanation, this ritual was to exorcise the stupidity in Qiqi; only after exorcising the evil spirits and getting rid of the bad luck would he become smarter and achieve a breakthrough in his grades.
This is the way they claim to help, "This is how we want to help you!" Gu Jun said proudly.
However, even though he was so stupid, he still instinctively realized that he should not set foot on this road, but he was pushed hard and forced into the so-called "passage".
The boys took turns hitting Qiqi's head, neck or shoulders hard, causing Qiqi to stagger and even forget to cover her face with her hands. After walking around the field, Qiqi was completely stunned.
