I was married off to a disabled hero in lieu of marriage; my in-laws doted on me and I aspired to gr

Qiaoqiao, wearing the red dress Fenglin gave her, rode her blue bicycle and went to school with her chubby, dark face.

The weather in September was hot, but Qiaoqiao's heart was cool; she felt relaxed, more relaxed than ever before.

Qiaoqiao has been married to Wenhui for three years and has tried her best to maintain both her husband's family and her own family.

Her father-in-law was wounded on the battlefield, she gave birth to her own child, and then went to university. To outsiders, her journey seemed effortless.

Qiaoqiao's life is far from easy. She worries about her father-in-law, endures the coldness of human relationships, and forces herself to grow up.

At the same time, she also worried about her parents, worried that they didn't have enough to eat or wear, and that they didn't go to the doctor when they were sick.

I am saddened by the thought of my good friend Fenglin's dire situation.

Now everything is fine. Qiaoqiao has no worries, her father-in-law has returned safely, her parents' new house has been built, the family's granary is full, and there are two pigs and ten Angora rabbits that are growing well.

My parents will never go hungry again. Although it's a little difficult to eat meat, we can eat eggs every day.

It's heartbreaking to see Fenglin go to the provincial capital, where she has a job and hobbies. She and Jintao are living happily together, so there's no need to worry about her anymore.

This ease comes from within.

Qiaoqiao hummed a little tune as she greeted the blazing sunrise. Who wouldn't love such a beautiful life?

Qiaoqiao walked into the classroom like a blazing sun, and Wang Min was the first to greet her.

"Yang Qiao, you've gotten so tanned after just one summer vacation!"

"You've gone home to help your parents harvest the wheat. Aren't you going to harvest yours?"

In the past, if someone said Qiaoqiao was dark-skinned, she might have been upset, but not anymore. She has a gentle and refined husband, strong and protective in-laws, and an obedient and adorable son. So what if she's a little dark-skinned? Life can't be too perfect.

"My wheat harvest was finished in two or three days. Yang Qiao, do you know? Wu Dan dropped out of school."

"Did she drop out of school? She still owes me an apology."

Qiaoqiao was astonished. How could someone as shameless as her drop out of school? Could she have been expelled?

Wang Min said with a hint of smugness, "You'll never get an apology; she's married."

"Get married?"

So many things happened during the summer vacation?

"Yes, she married Director Cheng from our school's admissions office."

"What?"

Qiaoqiao was startled and looked at Wang Min incredulously: "Director Cheng doesn't have a wife?"

"Yes, they got divorced because Wu Dan was pregnant."

The amount of information in the gossip was a bit overwhelming, and Qiaoqiao couldn't quite grasp it all at once.

"Wu Dan had always been Director Cheng's lover. After she became pregnant, Wu Dan forced Director Cheng to divorce his wife, and they got married," Wang Min said briefly.

Cheng Zhaopeng and Cheng Zhaoying, these two siblings are indeed family. They're really good at having affairs with both men and women.

"No wonder Wu Dan ridiculed you back then. She rose to power through her looks. She's got some tricks up her sleeve," Qiaoqiao sighed.

"Hey, why are you still bringing up those rotten things?"

"What a trivial matter? Wang Min, you actually got into a fight with Wu Dan over this."

"I didn't hit her, you and she got into a fight."

"How could you... how could you do this? Wasn't I doing this for you?"

"I know you mean well. Yang Qiao, Wu Dan isn't actually that bad. We're friends now."

Qiaoqiao was shocked and stared wide-eyed. How could a person be so unprincipled?

Wang Min smiled sheepishly: "She...she got my husband a job at the university cafeteria. He earns 25 yuan a month, so I won't have to pay for meals anymore."

So that's how it is; self-interest can indeed eliminate a person's hatred.

Congratulations! Your whole family is finally reunited.

Qiaoqiao has no right to judge whether Wang Min's actions are right or wrong, but she must stay away from this kind of person.

"I've begged you many times, but you said you had no choice? Before the holiday, I went to the city to buy two pieces of clothing for my child, and I happened to run into Wu Dan who was also buying clothes."

We chatted for a bit, and she said she could get my husband a job helping out in the cafeteria. With such a great opportunity, how could I possibly hold onto past grievances?

My husband has already started working in the school cafeteria, and the school even gave him a single dormitory room. I don't need to pay for food or lodging anymore. Our combined monthly salary is 42 yuan, and we can save about 30 yuan.

Wang Min tried her best to suppress her joy, but Qiaoqiao could still sense her smugness.

"And what about your child?"

"They can't come right now; they have nowhere to stay and no school will accept them. Once I start working, their household registration can be transferred to the city with me. Once we have a house and household registration, then I'll bring them over."

"That's great, congratulations!"

Qiaoqiao had no reason to blame Wang Min; she was working hard for the family's livelihood, even if her methods were a bit hard to accept.

"Yang Qiao, you should reconcile with Wu Dan. You don't have any major grudges; it's just a little squabble between classmates."

Whether Wu Dan and I reconcile is none of your business, right? You can be with her as long as you want.

I stood up for you and beat up Wu Dan, and then the two of you became friends, and you still want me to forgive Wu Dan? My God, are you out of your mind?

I, Yang Qiao, swear to be irreconcilable with Wu Dan and the Cheng family.

"Wasn't your argument with Wu Dan already a case filed with the Municipal Public Security Bureau? Why don't you go and have the case withdrawn..."

"Wang Min, are you waiting for me here? That's a conflict between me and Wu Dan, it has nothing to do with you."

Qiaoqiao was furious. Was Wu Dan's so-called help in finding a job for her husband just a ploy to get me to drop the case?

Uncle Fu filed the case. If I were to withdraw it, wouldn't that be a slap in Uncle Fu's face?

Bah, what nonsense! So the person she framed was me, not you.

And her sister, she made my grandma so angry she almost lost her life. Asking me to forgive her? No way!

"Yang Qiao, it was just a small favor, why are you making such a fuss? Having more friends means having more options."

"Wang Min, from this day forward, I will not be friends with you, Wu Dan, or anyone else."

After Qiaoqiao finished speaking, she picked up her schoolbag, changed her position, and moved to a window far away from Wang Min.

"Yang Qiao, I treated you like my best friend..."

Wang Min cried out in grievance, while Qiaoqiao scoffed inwardly, "Who cares about an ungrateful friend like you?"

Of the three good friends who entered the school, Yao Xing was expelled, Wang Min betrayed him, and only Gu Tong'an remained.

Gu Tong'an entered the classroom and looked for Qiaoqiao. Finding her sulking and looking out the window, he quickly sat down next to her and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I had a falling out with Wang Min."

"It's good that we've fallen out," Gu Tong'an said as she picked up a book.

"Did you know? Wu Dan married Cheng Zhaopeng from the admissions office, and then she got Wang Min's husband a job in the cafeteria. Their deal was that I drop the case and stop pursuing Wu Dan's rumors. Have you ever seen such a shameless person?"

Qiaoqiao felt suffocated and had to express her grievances.

"Is that so? So what are you planning to do?"

"Of course the case won't be dropped. Wu Dan has a criminal record, so the government won't want her for a regular job."

"You're right. If there's no consequence for spreading rumors, then there will be even more rumors in the future. Yang Qiao, I support you."

With Gu Tong'an's support, Qiaoqiao felt a little better. Suddenly remembering something, she instructed, "Don't tell Zhou Wenhui about my affairs."

Gu Tong'an smiled for no apparent reason: "I understand. Teacher Zhou is very protective of his own. If he knew, he might give another long speech."

Qiaoqiao smiled but didn't say anything.

Qiaoqiao wasn't afraid of Zhou Wenhui's protectiveness; she was afraid of her domineering father-in-law, who, upon learning that his daughter-in-law had been wronged, might cause a huge commotion.

The troublesome principal He Yuanhe is not the behavior of a good student.
