Chapter 260 The Chicken God still refused to favor him.

"Oh, let's talk about my darling. A few days ago, she brought back a kind of water from one of her aunts' houses. It seems to be good for her skin."

Yan Liti was afraid that the young girl would be too trusting and blurt out everything, so she quickly chimed in.

"Really? I want to try it too."

“No problem.” Yan Liti nodded with a smile.

Seeing this, the other women wisely stopped bringing up the topic.

Meanwhile, at the table where they were drinking, they were also having a heated discussion about Qiao Changdong's plan to build a house.

Mr. Mei approved the date for Qiao Changdong as January 18th.

Qiao Changdong wanted the house to be completed as soon as possible so that he and Qiao Qiao could have their own little home. Despite the fact that it was approaching the end of the year and the cost of hiring workers would be double, he still hired more than thirty workers and prepared to break ground on the 18th.

"Is it a multi-story building?"

Wu Haimin asked this question.

"No, it's a single-story house with a larger yard. Aunt Yan has already asked someone to draw up the design plans. I heard that these small manors are very popular in their capital city."

Qiao Changdong glanced at his precious daughter, who was sitting on a small stool, using a chair as a table, and obediently gnawing on a lamb chop, and replied in a low voice.

Upon hearing his answer, everyone at both tables, including Qiao Qiao, looked over in surprise.

"A single-story house?" Qiao Xiaoyun looked at Qiao Changdong in surprise: "Dongzi, you want to build a single-story house?"

She thought that given her brother's personality and the money they had, he would at least build a two-story house, and if he wanted to be extravagant, maybe even a three- or four-story one.

How could it be a small bungalow?

This is also not in line with her brother's personality.

“Yes, it’s a single-story house.” Qiao Changdong looked at Qiao Xiaoyun and Mo Wenpei: “Sister, sister-in-law, when I’m not here, I’ll have to trouble you to keep an eye on things for me.”

"No, why? Why is it a single-story house?" Qiao Xiaoyun really didn't understand.

She always thought her brother was going to build a multi-story house.

Yan Liti already knew about this, but she didn't ask, though she was a little curious.

Everyone was looking at Qiao Changdong, clearly very curious about this.

Qiao Changdong saw that Qiao Qiao was also looking at him with a curious expression, and he sighed helplessly.

But he still said the same thing: "What reason could there be? Bungalows are so much better than hotels. I get tired of climbing stairs every day. Besides, it's easier to install heating in bungalows, and they're cheaper to build than apartment buildings. What's wrong with bungalows?"

The reason Qiao Changdong didn't build a house was because he always remembered that when he went to the school to find Qiao Kun, Qiao Qiao drew a skull on a small villa in the bubble above her head.

She also made it clear that she didn't want to live in an apartment building.

Since that's the case, Qiao Changdong naturally prioritizes his daughter, naming her whatever she likes!

If you don't like living in an apartment building, then build a small bungalow!

However, given the skull on the little house, Qiao Changdong guessed that it must be a very bad memory from his daughter's past.

Qiao Changdong didn't want her to remember those bad memories.

So in front of everyone, he only said that he wanted to build a bungalow, not because of anything Qiao Qiao had shown before.

"Alright, alright, if we don't want an apartment building, then we don't want one. This bungalow is just fine. It's good for Mom, who's getting old, and climbing stairs is too much of a hassle for her." Seeing that Qiao Changdong was unwilling to talk about it, Meng Zhengcheng chuckled and smoothed things over.

The group then dropped the matter and didn't pursue it any further.

Qiao Qiao didn't quite remember ever mentioning this to Qiao Changdong.

However, she had to admit that she was still happy that it wasn't a multi-story building, and not even one of those small buildings enclosed by a very tall yard.

When Qiao Changdong saw the little guy's upturned lips and the little bubbles popping up above his head, with the little person cheering and jumping around, wiggling his little bottom, he knew that his decision was correct.

"Why is my little sister so happy?" Meng Zihuan was munching on a big chicken leg with his head down when he looked up and saw the little figure in the bubble on Qiao Qiao's forehead swaying her chubby waist, clearly very happy. He asked in surprise.

The other boys next to him all looked over at the same time upon hearing this.

The five Qiao brothers, plus Fu Yu and Pei Yiyang, make a total of seven.

Of the young men present, only Mo Jun, Mo Jian, and Pei Yuanfan could not see it.

Mo Jun and Mo Jian didn't understand what they were talking about; they just looked at them with a mixture of curiosity and confusion.

Pei Yuanfan subconsciously followed Meng Zihuan and looked up at Qiao Qiao's forehead.

However, he saw nothing.

It seems the Chicken God still doesn't favor him.

Pei Yuanfan was very disappointed, listlessly gnawing on the mutton in his mouth.

He caught a glimpse of his brother staring at Qiao Qiao's forehead, a gentle smile playing on his lips. A thought flashed through his mind, and he asked him a question with a hint of probing.

"Brother, can you see the chicken god on Qiao Qiao's head?"

"Chicken God?" Pei Yiyang looked at him in confusion.

"Yes, Chicken God, brother, you probably don't know, but Sister Qiao is actually a little fairy protected by the Chicken God! Many things can be displayed on her forehead, isn't that amazing!"

When Pei Yuanfan said this, he raised his chin with a sense of pride, as if he were the one being protected.

"!!!" Qiao Qiao.

Her face instantly turned bright red.

I was so ashamed I wanted to bury myself in the bowl.

The villagers gossiped that she was a little fairy blessed by the Chicken God. Qiao Qiao was at most a little embarrassed, but didn't care too much.

But in front of Pei Yiyang, he felt inexplicably ashamed.

"So Qiaoqiao is a fairy! No wonder she's so cute." Pei Yiyang chuckled as he looked at the little girl, her face flushed and her cheeks buried in her hands, looking utterly ashamed and indignant.

His laughter was gentle, with a youthful crispness unique to his age.

This made Qiao Qiao even more embarrassed.

She explained in a low voice, "I'm not a fairy blessed by the Chicken God. My family made it up on purpose so that others wouldn't suspect me."

“Yes, we can’t let anyone outside know, otherwise my sister will be forked and burned… Waaah!” Meng Zihuan nodded as if to testify, his mouth open as if to say more, but a big chicken leg blocked his mouth.

"Huh?" He lowered his eyes, glanced at the big chicken leg that was stuffed in his mouth, and then looked at Qiao Qiao who was stuffing the chicken leg in her mouth.

Qiao Qiao smiled, her eyes filled with a dangerous glint: "Eat more, brother. Say less."

"My little sister is so sweet." Meng Zihuan, however, didn't see through Qiao Qiao's warning to him. He even picked up the chicken leg and showed it off to his four older brothers.

Finally, she said, "See? I told you my sister likes me the most! She only had one chicken leg, and she gave it all to me!"

The four older brothers responded as follows:

Qiao Kun snatched the chicken leg away.

The four brothers passed the food around, one bite at a time. Except for Fu Yu and Pei Yiyang who politely declined, even Pei Yuanfan and the Mo brothers got a bite!
