Chapter 636: Chapter 257 My Mother-in-law is a Loyal Servant (Part 1)_3
The three sisters-in-law, although they had their misgivings, couldn’t very well continue to disdain the return of their divorced sister-in-law as an eyesore.
And so, He Tiantian continued to freeload in the Jiao Family as a freeloader.
She didn’t marry nor work, eating and drinking every day, and occasionally taking trips to the town and county.
Outsiders simply thought she had been deeply hurt by the Qiao Family and didn’t dare to marry again.
Even Qiao Zhenbang felt guilty and, after earning some money, the first thing he did was to pay back He Tiantian.
However, when he paid back the money, Mrs. Qiao was really not resigned, and deliberately spread around the village, "My son is a good man with a sense of loyalty. He has repaid the dowry he owed to Jiao Jiao, all of it now."
The villagers all came to watch, and for a moment, He Tiantian seemed a bit "stuck on a tiger’s back."
After all, her reputation was good now, and if she really accepted those 500 yuan, many past events would take on a different flavor.
He Tiantian would also find herself in an awkward situation.
Consequently, Qiao Zhenbang saw his ex-wife gritting her teeth, her eyes shining with avarice and unwillingness, and she said, "I hear you’re going to the Southern area, so let’s do this, I don’t want the money. Consider it my contribution to your startup capital."
At this time, the policy had been relaxed, and doing business no longer required sneaking around.
He Tiantian saying these things in public wasn’t considered taboo, nor was she causing trouble for Qiao Zhenbang.
While everyone exclaimed in surprise, they couldn’t help but admire, "She truly is virtuous, what startup capital? Isn’t she just giving Qiao Zhenbang money?"
"Ah, that boy Qiao Zhenbang is really lucky; even after his wife divorced him, she’s still considering his welfare!"
"Jiaojiao is a good girl, it’s a pity she doesn’t want to marry again, otherwise—"
The people thought He Tiantian was virtuous and kind, and although Qiao Zhenbang always felt something was off, seeing He Tiantian refuse the money and offering it to him as startup capital, he was still somewhat moved.
Amidst these feelings, Qiao Zhenbang publicly signed an investment agreement, turning the money that should have been compensation for He Tiantian into an investment in shares.
Twenty years later, looking back on this incident, Mrs. Qiao was extremely regretful.
Why did she make such a scene?
If she had let her son secretly repay the money, "Jiao Jiao" would definitely not have refused it due to feeling too proud to accept, nor would she have said any ostentatious words about contributing to startup capital.
As a result, because of that little scheme of hers back then, Jiao Jiao became a major shareholder of the Qiao Group.
Every year without doing anything, she could take home a large sum of money from the Qiao Family.
Qiao Zhenbang: ...still felt awkward inside, yet couldn’t put his finger on why.
Well, Jiao Jiao’s 500 yuan truly did help him out in a big way, not to mention Granny Qiao’s life.
Of course, in the story of Qiao Zhenbang’s entrepreneurship and love, "Jiao Jiao," his ex-wife, only occupied a very small part of the picture.
The Small World was still the domain of the male lead and the female lead.
A top-grade ex-wife was at most a tiny point beneath the radiance of the male lead and female lead.
Leaning on the large tree that was the male lead, she lay there winning comfortably, becoming a legend throughout the region.
Even in the new era, when the internet was prevalent, netizens following First Rich Qiao Zhenbang also discovered the miraculous existence of "Jiao Jiao."
Clearly an ex-wife, yet a major shareholder of the Qiao Group.
Clearly doing nothing, yet able to count money until her hands cramped every year.
Not marrying, not having children, yet living a carefree life!
Damn, what kind of Immortal ex-wife is she? What kind of love and hate did she share with First Rich Qiao?
When He Tiantian passed away peacefully, there was news online that someone had based a business TV drama on Qiao Zhenbang.
It included the part about "Jiao Jiao," of course, fictionalized and dramatized to a large extent.
Too bad He Tiantian couldn’t see it!
"Ding! Basic task completed, rewarding 6 points."
"Ding! Hidden task ’Redirect the male lead’s fate to the right track’ completed, rewarding 10 points."
"Ding! Received a tip of 20,000 points, redeemable for a Basic Gold Treasure Box."
"Ding! Achieved 300 achievement points."
As the Divine Soul withdrew from the novel world, He Tiantian heard a series of prompts ringing in her ears.
"Tiantian, you’re really amazing, you actually completed the set task. And you even completed the hidden task!"
Student Xiao D was incredibly excited, a ball of fluff bouncing around in the library space.
He truly hadn’t expected that the novel world actually had a hidden task, and that their Tiantian had managed to complete it smoothly.
Even the reward was unusually large.
A Basic Gold Treasure Box, that was a reward level higher than the Primary Treasure Box.
"Tiantian, with you being so formidable, why don’t you give this task a try?"
Suddenly, Student Xiao D thought of something and said excitedly, "This task, on the surface, doesn’t look difficult, but for some reason, two writers in a row have failed."
"Tiantian, if you could handle even a hidden task, I feel like you could finish it easily!"
A task not difficult, yet it caused two writers to fail?
He Tiantian was piqued with interest, nodded her head, and said, "Okay, then I’ll give it a try!"
