“Dad,” Qiao Nan chased up a few steps, and called.

Qiao Dongliang was distracted for a moment. When he looked back, he saw his younger daughter. Due to her cold and fever, her younger daughter looked downhearted and lifeless. The blood on her collar made Qiao Dongliang jump. “How did you get this?”

Before Qiao Nan could reply, Qiao Dongliang said.”Let’s go home first and wash up. We will talk later.”

Having said that, Qiao Dongliang carried Qiao Nan on his bicycle and rode home.

“Dongliang, you are back. Oh, Nan Nan, what happened?” In the small quad of Qiao’s home, a 40 to 50-year-old woman was holding a basket of eggs in her hand. Her eyes widened when she saw Qiao Nan. “Have you been bullied? Why are you covered in blood?”

“Aunt Li.” Qiao Nan’s hands and feet were wobbly as she jumped and alighted from the bicycle. Fortunately, her father held on to her and she did not fall.

Ding Jiayi, who was taking out the money for the eggs, saw this scene and her expression turned black. “Aunt Li, this is the money for the eggs, please take it.”

Aunt Li took the money, counted it, and said, “Good, your family’s Nan Nan is pretty but unfortunately a little skinny. You have to give her some supplements.”

Qiao Dongliang Qiao Nan had just finished changing her clothes. Without a word, she stared straight at Ding Jiayi and wanted to find out what she would say.

Ding Jiayi was so angry that she looked at Qiao Nan and felt that he had given birth to a white-eyed wolf. When she saw her parents quarreling, not only did she not help, but she also wished that Qiao Dongliang would give her a scolding. “We have finished it. There is no more medicine left.”

Ding Jiayi had not forgotten what she had said to Qiao Nan at noon. The words must tally with that in the afternoon.

“Has all of it been consumed?” Qiao Dongliang raised his eyebrows and said in a disbelieving tone,”I clearly remember that there was still half of the medicine left. You said it was gone?”

When she heard Ding Jiayi said this, Qiao Nan was very sure that she had not had any. Where had the other half gone? The reason why her fever was better was due to the goodwill of Zhai Sheng.

However, she looked for the medicine and could not find it.

Qiao Nan pursed her beautiful little mouth, blinked her bright eyes, and suddenly thought of a possibility. She headed towards the kitchen of the house.

“Nan Nan, what’s wrong with you?” Qiao Zijin felt that Qiao Nan was behaving oddly and wanted to stop her.

When Qiao Zijin saw Qiao Nan going to the kitchen, she was at a loss. She felt that something was amiss and quickly pulled Qiao Nan’s hand. “Nan Nan, you are sick now, you need to rest in bed and take medicine. No, there is no medicine left. Let’s wait for dad to buy you some. After you take it, you will be fine tomorrow.”

Qiao Nan firmly halted her steps and stared at Qiao Zijin with her deep and dark eyes. Her look made Qiao Zijin feel guilty, to the extent that Qiao Zijin’s hair stood up.

Seeing Qiao Nan’s attitude towards Qiao Zijin, her parents could not help but frown.

Without waiting for Ding Jiayi to open her mouth to discipline her, Qiao Nan pushed away Qiao Zijin’s hand and ran into the kitchen. She then dumped all the trash in the dustbin on the floor.
