The Yu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law weren't on the same page, but the Qin family next door lived together in harmony.
After Li Qiao finished her work, she poured some hot water to warm her hands for a while, then went to join Old Mrs. Qin under the kitchen shed to wrap dumplings. She talked about school and mentioned that a few educated youths had given her a notebook that seemed quite valuable.
"You deserve it, who else would make the effort to give them such detailed class notes?" Old Mrs. Qin said.
Li Qiao smiled sheepishly, "Actually, I have my own reasons. Today I help them, and tomorrow they will help me."
"Some people are worth helping, and some are not," Old Mrs. Qin said with emphasis, "In life, you must be a bit shrewd. Don't be too honest, or you might get taken advantage of."
As the grandmother and granddaughter were talking, there was a knock at the door.
"Is Li Qiao there?"
It was Du Xinxin's voice.
