Chapter 461: Chapter 461 I’m Not That Generous

Luo Qiao laughed and said, "Dad, why don’t you give me an address of one of your comrades? When I have time, I can make a trip and pay a visit."

Having finished the last sip of tea in his cup, Luo Haotian said, "Sure."

After speaking, he got up, took out a leather notebook from the drawer, copied an address, and handed it to Luo Qiao. Luo Qiao looked it over carefully and then put it away.

They had drunk half of their tea when suddenly, the sound of a metal bucket hitting the ground came from next door, startling Luo Qiao. The few people inside the room frowned at once.

Then they heard Sun Liying’s crying, and Luo Haotian sighed, preparing to get up and see what was going on.

They heard Sun Liying saying, "Life with Qiao Haiqing is unbearable. Don’t forget you have three children to raise. She has her own parents, why must she come and torment us?

I’ve put up with it before, but we can’t always be the ones she wreaks havoc upon. I’m laying it out here today. If you insist on keeping her, then you and I are done. I’m not that generous."

Qiao Haiqing felt embarrassed and couldn’t speak harshly, looking at his three children standing by, always watching her. He turned to glance at his niece in the yard, who kept her head down, and he felt nearly driven mad with irritation.

So he said, "Qiao Meng, I’ll find you a boarding school. If you want to continue your education, you can stay there. You can visit your grandmother on Sundays or come here if you like.

Even if you go to your dad’s, he can’t kick you out. This arrangement will be better for everyone. What do you think?"

Qiao Meng kept her head down and did not answer. Sun Liying said, "If she wants to study, let her go to her father. Both her parents are alive and well, and they are perfectly capable of taking care of her.

Since my brother-in-law doesn’t cherish his own daughter, why should we take her in? Good or bad, that’s her fate. Don’t forget what happened before."

Looking up at her silent uncle, Qiao Meng said, "Okay, uncle, I don’t want to trouble you. I can go to the boarding school, that’s fine. Please take care of it, uncle."

Actually, she didn’t want to go to a boarding school. How could it be better than staying with her uncle? It was just because she ate Qiao Yu’s chocolate today. Did they really need to make this big of a scene, just wanting to drive her away?

But where could she go now? If she went back, her stepmother would surely force her to work to support herself. Despite her stepmother’s sweet talk, she feared that when payday came, she wouldn’t see much of the money.

Determinedly, she said, "Uncle, don’t fight about it. I’ll go to the boarding school. Consider the tuition as a loan from you and auntie. When I have a job in the future, I will repay you double."

Sun Liying thought to herself how nicely Qiao Meng speaks, as if they don’t know what kind of person she really is. Repay them? It’s more like a meat bun thrown to a dog, gone without return.

A busybody woman chimed in, "So you mean to say, if you don’t find a job in the future, then you won’t have to repay it?

"Yes, Qiao Meng really has no shame, stirring up trouble for her uncle’s family for her own sake, causing them to quarrel every time she comes."

"Exactly, Qiao Haiqing really is unlucky to have such a niece."

"That’s all thanks to Deputy Director Qiao spoiling her. If he hadn’t coddled her from the start, none of this would have happened. He brought it upon himself."

"You’re right about that. It’s not enough just wanting to be the good guy. You have to consider the circumstances. One can’t neglect their own wife and children to take care of a niece. That would be foolish; it can tear your own family apart."

Luo Haotian approached and said, "It’s almost time to go to work. Let’s all break it up."

Once everyone had dispersed, Luo Haotian spoke again, "Sister-in-law, please get up. We can talk this through nicely."

Sun Liying responded, "It’s not that I don’t want to talk nicely. We’re not talking about raising a pet, but a living human being. The two of us work to support our three children and pay for our retirement. To be honest, we hardly save anything at the end of the month.

If she had no parents, we would have no choice but to support her, but as it is, her parents are alive and well. We’re only her uncle and auntie, this is too much to ask.

Education isn’t just about high school for three years, what if she gets into college? Are you expecting me to pay for that too? But my husband cares too much about appearances. Qiao Meng has thoroughly exploited this about her uncle, otherwise, she wouldn’t always come to us."
