Chapter 160

~8 min read 1,482 words

Ding the eldest said with a choked voice: "Little brother, big brother begs you, just let Mom and Dad live here for a few days.

I'll tell you the truth, why I'm in such a hurry to let Mom and Dad swallow their pride and come to your house.

Because a few days ago, Dandan went to the bathroom in the middle of the night—we all sleep on the floor, don't we? —and she accidentally stepped on Mom. Look, Mom's arm still isn't working well."

Lu Qiao and Sister Qiao knew about this.

Of the two rooms in the Ding family, one was given to the eldest son, and the other was for the second son.

Then the third son lived at his mother-in-law's house.

It wasn't even living as a son-in-law; he had to pay money every month.

Actually, truth be told, the environment of living in the city is really not as good as Guzi Village.

Even five thatched huts would be more spacious than this.

But that's just how it is; these people would rather live in city apartment buildings than go to the countryside to live in five thatched huts.

This is a principle even a fool knows.

Lu Qiao didn't speak; Ding the eldest's family indeed didn't have the ability to provide Old Man Ding and Old Woman Ding with better living conditions.

After all, the two of them were also living on the floor.

Sister Qiao's least favorite thing to handle is this kind of problem.

The elderly are biased toward their children, and some children provide support while others are heartbroken and refuse to provide it; no one can ever win this kind of lawsuit.

And at this time, Xiaohui was still cooing on the windowsill.

【Little Master, when will you take me to the lakeside to introduce me to the old turtle and the others?】

Lu Qiao said to it in her heart: "I'll take you when I have time; don't be anxious."

Lu Qiao had already taken out her diary; she had a plan here, and as long as Ding the eldest and Ding Jianshe approved, this matter could be solved very well.

But she didn't expect Ding the eldest's eyes to roll, and he actually knelt down to Ding Jianshe with a *thump*.

He begged with his voice: "Little brother, big brother begs you, we are a family. Your house is so big, there is no problem at all with Mom and Dad living here. Can you not be so hard-hearted? No matter what, Mom and Dad raised you; if there's no credit, there's at least hard work, right?"

Ding the eldest is also a character; in order to send his parents to his younger brother's place, he really went all out.

He was self-taught in moral kidnapping.

Ding Jianshe looked at Chen Ying, whose face was as gloomy as water.

Chen Ying had a sneer on her face, and a hint of indescribable disgust.

The gray pigeon over there suddenly remembered something and said to Lu Qiao with a giggle: 【Coo coo coo, there is one more thing I want to tell you, Little Master. I heard from the old sparrow that this couple hasn't had a marital life since that incident, because Chen Ying thinks Ding Jianshe is dirty.】

Lu Qiao was a bit speechless.

This gossipy, simple little gray pigeon.

No, there was also that old sparrow that always went to her house to eat millet.

Just when everyone thought Ding Jianshe would step forward to help Ding the eldest, who was kneeling on the ground, up, Ding Jianshe suddenly turned and walked toward the window.

The building had seven floors in total, and his family lived on the seventh floor.

To tell the truth, it wasn't very convenient for the elderly to live here; going up and down the stairs was really difficult.

Lu Qiao's heart skipped a beat.

But she also thought it was because Ding Jianshe was annoyed by Xiaohui cooing on the windowsill outside.

She hurriedly shouted in her heart for the gray pigeon to fly away quickly.

Xiaohui was very obedient and flew into mid-air.

Old Woman Ding over there actually recognized this pigeon and thought her second son was going to hit it, so she shouted: "Don't you hit that pigeon; it has an owner. If you knock off a single feather, watch out for that old man extorting you."

Suddenly, Lu Qiao sensed something was wrong.

Ding Jianshe, who had been silent, had already walked to the open windowsill. Suddenly, he supported himself with both hands and jumped up. The windowsill was narrow, and he wasn't standing very steadily, so he squatted on the windowsill.

With a look that was neither crying nor laughing on his face, he looked at everyone in the room one by one, and then called out softly: "Old daughter, come out for a moment, let Dad see you."

Everyone was confused, and then a tightly closed room door opened.

Lu Qiao saw a young girl of about fifteen or sixteen come out of the doorway.

She was holding a fountain pen and a notebook, looking at the people in the room with displeasure.

The young girl was very pretty.

Her eyes were big, round, and cute like a cat's.

Her cheeks were also round, and she was pouting as she said: "Dad, I'm doing my summer homework; can you guys not be so noisy!"

Old Woman Ding over there rolled her eyes, but clearly the young girl was very pampered, and Old Woman Ding didn't dare to say anything.

Chen Ying's expression also softened, and she glared at Ding Jianshe, who was squatting on the windowsill: "What kind of trouble are you making again? The pigeon has already flown away; why don't you hurry up and get down? And why did you let the old daughter come out? You really have nothing better to do. Old daughter, hurry back to your room; this has nothing to do with you."

The young girl pouted and stomped her feet, then closed the door and entered her own room.

At this moment, Lu Qiao's expression had already calmed down.

None of the people in the room had realized that Ding Jianshe wasn't chasing the pigeon at all.

He seemed to be trying to jump off the building!

After realizing he had this thought, Lu Qiao had already walked quickly toward the windowsill.

Regardless of whether he was standing on the windowsill to chase the pigeon or to do something else, pulling him down was the right thing to do.

One cannot define whether this person is good or bad.

One can only say that he is somewhat different from those scumbags who love the new and loathe the old.

It's just that he was unlucky enough to be targeted by someone.

But a man who cannot control himself and ends up in this situation can only be said to have brought it upon himself.

Perhaps that woman just wanted to borrow a seed and then have someone help raise the child!

She hoped that after seeing his old daughter, he would abandon the thought of suicide.

As her thoughts flowed, Lu Qiao had already reached the edge of the windowsill.

In fact, everything happened in a flash; the moment the young girl closed the door, Ding Jianshe, who was squatting on the windowsill, turned around and, without saying a word, jumped down without any hesitation!

Before anyone could react, Lu Qiao had already rushed up.

Her movements were fast, her figure was fast, and her strength was great; she grabbed Ding Jianshe, who had already fallen, in one go.

Unfortunately, what Lu Qiao grabbed was his collar.

He was wearing a "Dique Liang" shirt.

"Dique Liang" shirts are actually quite sturdy, but the one he was wearing was already very old, and even if it were new, the buttons in the front wouldn't hold when grabbed by the collar.

Lu Qiao heard the teeth-gritting sound of *crack, crack*.

The gray pigeon flying in mid-air was so scared it couldn't even flap its wings and almost fell from the sky.

It quickly flew toward the windowsill.

Ding Jianshe didn't fall, because his neck was constricted, causing his face to flush red.

Ding Jianshe looked at the open space downstairs and saw people coming and going.

At this moment, his mind went blank.

The first to react was Chen Ying; she let out a sharp scream and then stumbled toward the windowsill.

Lu Qiao turned her head and shouted: "Quick, find me a rope, a bed sheet will do too."

Because the buttons clearly wouldn't hold much longer.

At this moment, Ding Jianshe was suspended in mid-air; after his mind went blank, there was boundless fear. He instinctively began to struggle, and Lu Qiao shouted sternly: "Don't move around, I will save you!"
