Teacher Jin was young and was already a warm-hearted person. She sympathized with Jing Yunzhao, but at the same time, she was also worried for Jing Yunzhao's future.

With her "biological" mom dead, how is she gonna be treated in that house now? She had siblings, but Qiao Hongye and Qiao Zizhou were only observing from the sidelines. They didn't seem close with Jing Yunzhao at all!

Teacher Jin remembered this. But she couldn't do anything. She consoled Jing Yunzhao and then returned to school.

Ye Qin only had one breath left, so she was kept in the hospital for the night. Qiao Weimin believed in male chauvinism. He never liked taking care of people, but he was afraid Jing Yuzhao would secretly give Ye Qin that medicine. So he stayed in the hospital.

Qiao Hongye cared about her reputation a lot, so she was also there. But Qiao Zizhou was used to being raised delicately. At 11 pm, he gave up and went home as if he didn't care about what others thought of him.

The next afternoon, a smell of death came from the room.

Under the white cloth was Ye Qin's lifeless face.

Jing Yunzhao sighed. You can only blame Ye Qin for finding such an unreliable husband.

Ye Qin's funeral was simple. Close family and friends came to give their condolences. The Qiao's became very busy, trying to greet all of their guests. After a few days, every one had a tired face.

With the funeral over, they finally relaxed.

Inside the house, Qiao Weimin relaxedly drank his beer. He didn't have to act sad anymore. The Qiao Hongye and Qiao Zizhou sitting at the dinning table did feel somewhat sad, but after so many years of struggling, they also couldn't endure it anymore. They also relaxed.

"Dad, how about I go to school with Qiao Zizhou tomorrow? We're behind in lessons. If we go any later, we might not catch up," said Qiao Hongye.

The alcohol made Qiao Weimin's face read. His head was dizzy and light, "Okay, okay. All three of you can go."

"Dad…mom's no longer here. No one's here to do the ch.o.r.es anymore, and mom used a lot of money when she was sick. It's gonna be very had for you to raise us and let us attend school…it's all my fault. I'm too young. I can't help you share this burden," Qiao Hongye said apologetically.

(T/N: Schools cost money in China.)

Jing Yunzhao raised her eyebrow and smiled. If she remembered correctly, Qiao Hongye was only younger than her by a year.

And how could she not understand what Qiao Hongye had said? She wants the oldest one to quit school and serve them.

When Ye Qin was still alive, Ye Qin wanted to make Jing Yunzhao quit school too. But she gave up on that thought because it didn't cost any money to send Jing Yunzhao to school. The other reason was because she didn't want others to gossip about herself.

Jing Yunzhao's good grades are well-known. If she were to quit school under those circ.u.mstances, people would definitely criticize Ye Qin for treating her children unequally. People love to talk. Ye Qin naturally didn't want others to point and gossip.

"Good child, you're a good child…" the Qiao Weimin right now was too drunk. He couldn't understand Qiao Hongye's meaning at all.

Qiao Hongye wanted to makes things more clearly, but looking at the condition her father was, she was afraid he'd forget it the next day. So she held it in for now.

The next day, she saw Jing Yunzhao leave the house early in the morning.

Qiao Hongye thought about it and then rushed into Qiao Weimin's room. The whole room stank of alcohol, making her frown.

She saw Qiao Weimin wearing only an underwear lying on the bed. The windows were closed. The room was mess. Qiao Hongye loved to be clean, so she was disgusted when she saw the room.

But he was her own dad. Qiao Hongye sighed and yelled, "Dad! Wake up…"
