Chapter 413: Chapter 413 Our Family Was Originally a Joke

When Zhao Changlin arrived, a crowd of onlookers had gathered outside Zhao Pulin’s house. Someone said, "It’s truly a sin, to see blood during the New Year."

Zhao Changlin pushed through the crowd and entered, only to see several of his nieces fighting each other while his own brother was trying to break up the fight. Furious, he shouted at those who were fighting, "Stop it now, what do you look like, not ashamed?"

While speaking, he picked up a shovel that was standing on one side and threw it to the ground. Since the yard was paved with stones, it made a grating noise, and the Zhao family sisters finally stopped their hands.

Zhao Pulin’s face also had several scratches, and Zhao Changlin said to the onlookers outside, "Disperse, it’s the New Year, go home and eat."

Once everyone had left, Zhao Changlin said, "Can’t you all be a little quieter, it’s the New Year, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?"

Zhao Xiaoxing looked up at her uncle and said, "Now we’re afraid of being laughed at? Our family has always been a joke. Why should we serve Zhao Jianing?"

Zhao Xiaocao also piped up, "She’s been back for almost half a year now, not earning any work points is one thing, but she doesn’t do anything at home either. She thinks she’s still the young lady in the Capital City.

What’s even more infuriating is that today, she knocked over the dumpling mixture my third sister had made. We’ve been tolerating her for a long time. She can choose not to eat if she looks down on it, but she can’t just do that."

Zhao Jianing was torn up and looked a mess, her hair all tangled and her face swollen from being hit, but at least it was winter and she was dressed warmly.

With a frown, Zhao Changlin looked at his niece, who hadn’t been at peace since she came back, and asked, "Did you knock over the dumpling mixture they prepared?"

Zhao Jianing said with a tearful and aggrieved tone, "I didn’t mean to, I’m too old for that, how could I intentionally knock it over? Clearly, Zhao Xiaoxing didn’t hold it properly, and yet they ganged up to blame me, it’s too much bullying."

In his heart, Zhao Pulin thought, after this New Year passed, he’d give her some money to go back to her adoptive parents. This family couldn’t keep her, nor should it; her presence made daily life unbearable.

After helping in the kitchen, Luo Qiao’s aunt Feng Caiqin said with a smile, "Go play now, only frying is left, we don’t need you for that. Clean up and go for a walk, just be back in time for dinner."

Ning Lingshan didn’t leave and stayed to help, while Ning Lingyu and Ning Lingrui took Luo Qiao out, introducing her to everyone they met. Luo Qiao walked a long distance away and could still hear people discussing her.

Ning Xueling, having been lectured by her two brothers, came out feeling quite unhappy inside.

Luo Qiao was led around by her two cousins, getting acquainted with the neighbors, before returning to her uncle’s house. She arrived just in time for dinner as the food was served.

Before dinner, her uncles gave Luo Qiao red envelopes. Luo Qiao didn’t want to accept them, but her eldest uncle Ning Hongda said, "Qiaoqiao, as long as you’re a student, you’ll get a red envelope. Once you start working, there won’t be any. Take it."

Her second uncle Ning Hongbo joked, "Qiaoqiao, when you return to the Capital City for university, your second uncle will give you a big red envelope."

Luo Qiao laughed and said, "Alright, for the sake of second uncle’s big red envelope, I’ll have to try and get into a Capital City university."

Ning Xueling thought to herself, you think getting into a Capital City university is so easy? She really dared to talk big.

But she just kept these thoughts to herself, unable to utter a word about it now.

After dinner, Luo Siyuan and Luo Qiao returned to their grandparents’ home, while Luo Haotian and Ning Xueling went back to the Mechanical Factory Residential Compound.

Once everyone had left, Zhang Yuehua said, "Hongda, I noticed that since Xueling and Luo Qiao have been in our house, there’s barely been any interaction between them. Xueling is really out of line as a mother.

Her daughter was switched with another child for so many years, and now that she’s finally returned, she doesn’t compensate her well. Acting like she’s entitled to her good days; none of the five children are close to her. There will be a day when she regrets this. I have no idea what’s going on in her head every day."

Ning Hongda also felt a headache; he had already talked to his sister and brother-in-law in the study for half a day. He knew his sister well; for many years, she probably never truly lived the married life with her husband wholeheartedly.

Thinking about this, he felt he had let his brother-in-law down. After so long, his sister was still daydreaming, causing trouble after trouble. It was really worrisome.
