Chapter 17
Wang Qiu Ying suddenly raised her head and looked at her suspiciously: "Why do you ask this? What do you want to do?"
Lin Hui's face became hot. and she rebuked: "Mom, what can I do? I'm just curious."
Wang Qiu Ying examined her with piercing eyes: "I don't care what you are thinking or what plans you have. Dispelled them all otherwise don't recognize me as your mom!"
As her mother, she knew her daughter. She knew what she was thinking better than anyone else!
If it was before, she won't stop her. But now old Second Qiao was disabled and needed to be taken care of in every aspect. Marrying such a person would mean seeking one's own death?
So no matter what, she can't let her daughter do stupid things!
Lin Hui's face turned pale. She lowered her head and said, "Mom! I really didn't think of doing anything!"
Even if she wanted to do something, will that person accept her?
What will other people say about them?
Wang Qiu Ying saw that she didn't seem to be lying and eased her expression: "You ah. You have been stubborn since you were a child. Mom is afraid that you will think astray! You are still young. After waiting for a year or two, Mom will find a good man. Then you have another child and can keep living."
Lin Hui's face turned paler: "Mom, I never thought about remarrying!"
"How can a woman not marry? Are you planning to live alone for the rest of your life?"
"Mom!"
"Alright, Mom won't talk anymore."
Wang Qiu Ying saw her daughter's face getting more and more ugly, so she can only shut up.
Anyway, Dong Lin was still young now. It wasn't too late to find one after one or two years.
For the villagers of Qili Village this winter was one juicy scene after another.
A few days after the divorce between Fang Xiao Juan and Qiao Zhen Jun, Song's house was splashed with dung on a dark and windy night!
Song Family slept very soundly. Only when they woke up the next morning did they see the golden yellow poo in the courtyard. Each and every one of them almost vomited out their overnight meal!
Old Madam Song was so infuriated that she almost passed away on the spot!
Who was so wicked? Who can't had a grudge with Song Family?
After some inquiry and investigation, the target was old Madam Song's eldest daughter-in-law... Song Jin Lai's wife.
Before Song Jin Lai’s wife blamed Lin Hui for tattling to Qiao Xiu Zhi and caused her to be beaten by her mother-in-law and husband. In anger, she ran back to her maternal family to spread Lin Hui and old Second Qiao's matter.
She never thought things would get out of hand.
In fact, the person who tattled to Qiao Xiu Zhi wasn't Lin Hui at all. But was Song Jin Lai's wife's second sister-in-law, Zhang Ru Lan.
The two of them have never gotten along. They often fought at home. Zhang Ru Lan heard what she said to Da Qiao from her room that day and ran back to complain to Qiao Xiu Zhi.
When old Madam Song knew the truth, her lips trembled with anger: "You family-ruining woman! Eldest, send this woman back to her maternal home. Our Song Family can't afford such a daughter-in-law!"
Qiao Xiu Zhi's move of "divorcing" her daughter-in-law had opened a new door to these mother-in-laws in Qili Village. In recent days, several mother-in-laws have sent their daughter-in-law back to her maternal home.
When Song Jin Lai's wife heard this, her whole body was trembling: "Mom, you can beat me with a rolling pin. If one isn't enough, go for round two. You mustn't send me back to my maternal home!"
Old Madam Song coldly snorted: "I think it takes too much effort to beat you! Eldest, what are you standing there for? Still not sending this family-ruining thing away now?"
Song Jin Lai didn't dare to defy his mom. He pulled his wife out of the door.
So on this day, all the villagers in Qili Village saw Song Jin Lai’s wife screaming like a pig as she got sent back to her maternal home.
Wan Chun Ju, who witnessed this scene with her own eyes, had trouble sleeping and eating. She even ate one bowl of rice less than usual!
Seeing her like this, Qiao Zhen Guo couldn't help but curiously say: "Wife, you usually have a big appetite like a pig. You have to eat three bowls of rice each meal. Why do you eat so little these two days? In the past few years, you only ate so little when were pregnant with Third."
"..."
Can you speak nicely?
A mouthful of old blood was stuck on Wan Chun Ju's chest and almost fainted from fury!
But his words reminded her that she can pretend to be pregnant. As long as she was pregnant, she will not be beaten or get sent back to her maternal family!
She was so smart!
So Wan Chun Ju was "pregnant".
When she was eating the next day, she dry-heaved. The sound was loud that everyone couldn't not notice it.
Qiao Xiu Zhi asked her: "Eldest's wife, are you feeling unwell?"
Wan Chun Ju put on a shy expression: "Mom, I'm probably pregnant. I have a poor appetite in the past two days. All reactions are the same as when I was pregnant with An Ping."
Qiao Xiu Zhi didn't suspect that she was lying and said indifferently: "Oh, then nurture it well."
Wan Chun Ju was a little dissatisfied with her mother-in-law’s reaction but she didn't dare to say it. She turned her head and saw her man immersed in gobbling. She became even more dissatisfied: "Zhen Guo, I'm pregnant. Don't you have something to say?"
"Say what?" Qiao Zhen Guo looked up from the bowl with a dazed expression.
After a pause, he suddenly remembered that his wife wanted him to care about her. He scratched his chin and said: "At this age, you are considered an old clam birthing pearl. In the future, don't provoke the old hen of old Second's house. Be careful that the baby might leave due to your running!"
Wan Chun Ju: "..."
Old clam birthing pearl, you pig head!
She was only thirty years old!Also, did she provoke the old hen? It was obviously the old hen who had a grudge against her, okay?
Wan Chun Ju was so angry that she had a stomachache. Originally, she was pretending to have a bad appetite. Now she didn't have to pretend it at all.
Qiao Xiu Zhi was not surprised by her son's stupidity. She calmly picked some food for Xue Chuan: "Eat more."
Xue Chuan smiled and gave her some too: "You eat more too."
Qiao Zhen Guo picked up his wife's bowl and poured all the food into his bowl, "Since you can't eat it, just give it to me."
Wan Chun Ju: "..."
Without comparison, there was no harm!
Can't live! These! Days!
Fang Xiao Juan had been hiding and didn't dare to go out. Once the wound on her face healed, she went out and start to act up.
Whenever she met people, she would spout how Da Qiao was a calamity: "Look at this. This is bringing catastrophe to all relatives. Who gets involved, who gets unlucky! Just wait and watch how unlucky everyone in Qiao Family will be. See if Qiao Family can say that calamity is a blessing then!"
Some, who didn't mind adding to the fire and wanted to see drama, ran to tell Qiao Xiu Zhi.
After hearing this, Qiao Xiu Zhi calmly pointed to the pear tree in the corner of the yard and stated: "After that woman married in, the pear tree had never bloomed. The pear tree blossomed as soon as old Second divorced her. Who is the calamity? Heaven is the most clear on this!"
Everyone ran to the corner of the courtyard to take a look. Oh my god, the pear tree that had been dying for seven or eight years was blooming!
What's more, it was currently December. It was actually blooming at this time!
Was its fate really suppressed by Fang Xiao Juan before?
Soon this matter spread. Many people came to Qiao's small yard to see the pear blossom every day.
Everyone was discussing about this matter.
With so many discussion, some people believed that Fang Xiao Juan was actually the calamity. Look, when she married into Qiao Family, Qiao Family was full of unrest. As soon as she returned to her maternal home, Fang Fu Gui was beaten!
If this wasn't calamity, what was?
Fang Xiao Juan almost broke her teeth from grinding after hearing these words!
That old witch, Qiao Xiu Zhi. In order to wash away Da Qiao's calamity label, she unexpectedly poured dirty water on her!
So sinister and vicious. She wasn't afraid of retribution!
On this day, she deliberately woke up early and took two unwashed clothes over to the river.
"Don't say that I didn't warn you in advance. You'd better not go to the Qiao's small courtyard anymore. With that calamity present, you'll become unlucky!"
"How else would I bleed and damage my body back then? Wasn't it because the calamity came out feet first! Which one of these ten miles and eight villages was like her? She almost killed two relatives when being born!"
"This was fine since we are still alive with working hands and feet. While old Second Qiao had it worst. He can only lie in bed for the rest of his life. He's completely disabled! To put it in ugly words, if no one helps him, he can only sh*t on the bed when he need to go the sh*t. Hahaha..."
Everyone found her speech unpleasant, but it was difficult to refute.
After all, all these things were connected with Da Qiao. Alright, they should tell the children at home to keep them away from Da Qiao. That way it'll prevent them from getting affected by her bad luck aura!
Fang Xiao Juan saw that everyone believed her words and spoke more vigorously. When everyone had washed all the clothes, she hadn't taken hers out yet.
However, she didn't plan to wash it anymore. She stood up and prepared to go back with everyone. The way back was so long. She can still sing another round.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." She suddenly slipped and her whole flung forward.
BANG!
Her forehead was knocked heavily on the quartzite for washing clothes. The sound was so loud that everyone can feel her pain.
Fang Xiao Juan felt a sharp pain in her forehead. She raised her head and can stars in front of her eyes. A warm liquid flowed down from her forehead.
Someone yelled: "Xiao Juan, you're bleeding!"
Fang Xiao Juan instantly became anxious. She had already lost two teeth. She mustn't get marred by scar. She had to go to the hospital immediately!
She used the steps to support herself up. Suddenly her vision turned black and her body was weak. Following that, she fell backward.
BANG!
She fell heavily into the river and splashed water on everyone.
Everyone: "..."
What kind of show was this?
The river was freezing to the bones. Fang Xiao Juan's teeth trembled from the cold.
She panicked. Like a hen in water, she flopped desperately: "Help...I can't...swim..."
