Chapter 229: A Family of Thirty

Zongfang nodded with satisfaction, playing with Qiao Suisui's slender little hand with one hand and resting the other on his crossed legs, asking the five of them: "Do you know you were wrong?"

Several teenagers all subconsciously put their hands behind their backs, lowering their heads. At this moment, you look at me and I look at you, and finally, they all looked at Qiao Xiya in unison.

If the big brother doesn't speak, the little brothers don't dare to express their stance.

The small eyebrow movements between the children were fully visible to the adults. Qiao Suisui covered her mouth with her hand, holding back her laughter.

Seeing her smile, Zongfang's originally serious and solemn expression also had a crack, and his usually straight lips curved into a shallow arc.

He pinched her waist with his hand and stared at Qiao Suisui with feigned seriousness, but it had no weight, and his eyes were always filled with tenderness. Qiao Suisui received his subtext; that look clearly said: I'm educating the children, don't undermine me.

OK, OK.

She pursed her lips, holding back her laughter, but the more she held back, the more she wanted to laugh.

The teenagers didn't see the parents' love, and at this moment, they were still a bit uneasy. After all, they knew very clearly that Hawisi and his group had a real reason for hitting people, but they themselves ganged up with other brothers to hit people, and that person was truly wronged.

So they had nothing to argue about, and each of them was willing to bear the consequences, just not knowing what the punishment would be.

Qiao Xiya raised his head and said, "Father, it was all my idea. If you want to punish, punish me alone."

The other teenagers looked at Qiao Xiya in surprise, wanting to open their mouths to refute, saying that the matter was done by everyone together, but they were all suppressed by the mental power released by Qiao Xiya and couldn't open their mouths.

Qiaobai was the little brother, who grew up eating cuteness, had a simple mind, and couldn't hold his breath the most. Zong Yan seemed to value Qiao Xiya, but actually doted on him the most, accommodating him extremely. That kind of doting across generations was all given to Qiaobai.

At this moment, he was gesturing with his movements, anxious with a head full of sweat.

"Ah... ah ah..."

Qiao Suisui saw him like a little mute and really couldn't hold back, laughing out loud on the side. The tense atmosphere dissipated instantly. Zongfang looked at her helplessly, his expression seemingly complaining, but actually looking very happy.

"Alright, alright, stop lecturing them." Qiao Suisui pulled his arm and said.

Zongfang scooped up her hand and interlaced his fingers with hers, saying, "Boys can't be spoiled."

Can girls be? Qiao Suisui had never heard of this educational theory.

She said with some amusement, "How does this count as spoiling? They just admitted their mistakes, and their attitude is also very good. Since we have come to the school, let's help them solve the matter. How about visiting the beaten child, making some compensation, and asking what their family needs?"

Before Zongfang could speak, Qiao Xiya hurriedly explained to Qiao Suisui: "We all controlled our strength, we didn't really hurt him, it's not serious."

Zongfang raised his eyebrows.

Didn't this reveal his own scheme? He was not very satisfied with Qiao Xiya's answer, feeling that his character still needed to be tempered. At this moment, his face was truly a bit serious. "Do you think you are very smart for doing this?"

Qiao Xiya stiffened, lowered his head, and didn't speak.

Qiao Suisui saw that the atmosphere, which had finally eased, began to tighten again. She sighed, didn't bother with the father and son, and looked directly at the principal: "Where is that child now, and how are his injuries?"

The principal hurriedly said, "It's nothing serious, and the other party's parents didn't pursue it."

It wasn't a big deal to begin with. The one who really wanted to call the parents was your child, which scared the other party's parents quite a bit, thinking the Head of State was coming. The principal slandered in his heart, not daring to say it.

Qiao Suisui nodded and said unhurriedly, "Although it's nothing, our children took action, which is wrong, and we are willing to apologize. In addition, we will give the other family 20,000 star coins as compensation, take the child to check his body, and if there are any problems, you can find us. We will be responsible to the end."

The principal waved his hands repeatedly: "No need, it was just a small matter between the children." But in the end, he couldn't resist Qiao Suisui's persistence and had to agree. Seeing that the matter was handled, Qiao Suisui got up, pulled Zongfang, and said to him, "Go pay the money."

The man said "okay" softly, and then turned to look at Laiwen. The latter immediately took out his light brain to transfer the money.

The snake cubs had separate independent funds from childhood, which were set up for them by Zongfang.

At this moment, seeing Qiao Suisui walk out first, he deliberately lagged behind a step and said to the teenagers who knew they were in the wrong and felt a bit ashamed: "The money will be deducted from your accounts. Remember this lesson. Do things cleanly in the future. Don't let everyone know when you do this again, don't let me wipe your butts."

After speaking, he turned and chased after her, holding Qiao Suisui's hand, and took her away.

The teenagers looked at each other, and Qiaobai asked foolishly: "Ah? What does Father mean, so he's not angry that we hit people?"

Qiaozong hit his head and said, "Stupid! Father is annoyed that we were too conspicuous this time."

Qiaobai said: "But didn't Qiao Xiya say it's better to let everyone know? But Mom doesn't seem unhappy, but will this make Mom think I'm a bad child, woo woo..."

The four looked at Qiao Xiya. Qiao Xiya, who had been silent in the back, said: "Mom doesn't like us bullying people for no reason, and the place Father is dissatisfied with is that we didn't do it secretly enough, and couldn't let people see our purpose."

The four of them said "Oh~~~~" in unison.

"But it's worth it, I didn't expect this method to really see Mom!" Qiaoxiao's eyes were bright.

The others were also a bit excited about this.

Only Qiao Xiya looked unhappy.

Qiaolu silently leaned over and asked: "Brother, what's wrong with you? Aren't you the one who wanted to see Mom the most, why are you unhappy?"

Qiao Xiya touched Qiaolu's head, looked at the direction his parents left, and said: "I'm happy. I just don't know what method to use to see her again next time."

Actually, Qiao Suisui wanted to take all the snake cubs to live with them, including all the female younglings.

But she was worried that the children were all raised by Zong Yan, and if she proposed it so rashly, it would always feel a bit like snatching someone else's love, and it would not be very polite to the elder. And there were some unavoidable grievances between Zong Yan and herself and Anubis, and the relationship really couldn't get better, so the matter became tricky.

That night.

Zongfang came out of the bathroom wiping the water on his hair, saw her lying on the bed holding a pillow in a daze, walked over and touched her back. "What's wrong?"

Qiao Suisui turned over, rested her head on his thigh, played with his wet silver hair, and said absentmindedly: "Do you think the snake cubs have a good relationship with their grandfather?"

Zongfang immediately understood what she was worrying about.

At this moment, the broken hair on his forehead was still dripping water, and the expression on his handsome face was soft. He looked down at her like this and said: "Qiaoqiao, the children were born by you with hard work, don't consider others, including me. You want to do whatever you want to do."

Qiao Suisui looked up at him, and for some reason, suddenly felt a bit sore in her nose, for Zongfang's thoughtfulness, and also for her slight guilt for not having taken care of the younglings.

Zongfang saw her eyes were red, as if she was about to cry, sighed with heartache, put his hands through her armpits, picked her up onto his lap, and hugged her gently in his arms.

"If you cry again, your eyes will hurt."

Hahaha, money can make the devil push the mill, who ordered the snake cubs? Isn't this arranged?
