Chapter 45


Huang Xue Wen originally just wanted to sneak behind them before the police arrived. Unexpectedly, he was discovered!

Old woman Hua looked back and said to Old Man Hua, "That person has been following us. It is very likely that he heard what we said just now!"

The old man also secretly glanced back. His face turned pale with fright: "Then will he go to the police?"

A tinge of fierce appeared in old woman Hua's triangle eyes, "I'm afraid he has already got someone to call the police. If we are caught, our son will definitely starve to death! Now that it's up to you. You have to go out and block him, while I go first. Can you handle it?"

Old man Hua felt that he couldn't.

But he listened to his wife's words all his life. What's more, he didn't want Hua Family to come to an end. So he decisively said: "Okay, I'll block him!"

Old man Hua turned around and rushed toward Huang Xue Wen. Old woman Hua accelerated and ran.

Huang Xue Wen never thought that the other party would dare to run back. Unprepared, his waist was grasped.

When he saw the figure of the woman running away, he secretly thought 'oh no!'

He struggled hard, but the other party used dead stubbornness. Like a bull, he hugged him tight!

Seeing that the woman was about to disappear from sight soon, Huang Xue Wen burst into sweat. He latched on the old man's shoulder and shook it hard...

The old man was thrown out and rolled on the ground. He howled out in pain.

Huang Xue Wen saw at a glance that he was pretending. He didn't think much and swung his leg with all his might to run after the woman.

Who would have thought that halfway through the run, he suddenly heard the screams of passers-by behind him: "Ahhh...Someone died! Someone died"


"It's the man in front. The one in black. Grab him quickly, don't let him run away!"

When Huang Xue Wen heard someone died, he immediately stopped and turned around. Then passers-by looking at him with fearful eyes entered his sight.

Soon, a few grown men rushed up to locked his hands: "Quick! Catch and bring him to the police station!"

When Dong Jing brought the police over, she saw this scene. Her husband was pinned to the ground by a few men with his arms twisted. Not far from him, laid a man with foam at the mouth and incontinent urinating. The old man was no longer breathing.

Her heart thumped. She felt the world spinning for a while.

Afterwards, the two of them were taken back to the police station together. Several passersby testified that the old man died after being thrown to the ground by Huang Xue Wen.

Huang Xue Wen: "He was fine when I left. Not to mention that this person is a trafficker. My wife can testify!"

A policeman said: "You say he is a trafficker, so he is a trafficker? Where is the evidence? Where is the kidnapped child?"

"The child was taken away by his wife!"

The policeman chuckled: "In other words, you have no evidence at all! If I beat you to death now and say that you are a culprit, are you a culprit?"

Huang Xue Wen was speechless and gritted his teeth in anger!

Finally, the forensic doctor came. After the examination, it was confirmed that the old man died of epilepsy. However, in forensic science, emotional agitation was one of the causes of epilepsy.

In other words, this old man's death was connected with Huang Xue Wen.

The police station issued an order to temporarily detain Huang Xue Wen and wait for the next review.

Huang Xue Wen and Dong Jing suddenly felt that the sky was falling apart!

They just wanted to do a good deed and save people. They never expect saving to result themselves in prison!

If a good person wasn't rewarded, no matter who, they will feel comfortable!

Dong Jing grasped her husband's hand and sobbed: "Wait. I'll find someone to save you!"

...

Old woman Hua rampantly ran on the road with little Wan'er in her arms. She especially entered the alleys and ran to the bottom of a bridge. She bent down and hid in it.

Little Wan'er stared out with her eyes in her arms. Her face was pale. Her lips were flat with the desire to cry.


Old woman Hua glared at her. She pinched her face hard and declared: "Don't cry, or I'll kill you!"

Little Wan'er trembled. Tears fell. It was a silent cry.

She wanted to go home. She wanted her dad.

Old woman Hua saw that she was only tearing up, so she ignored her. She hugged her and hid under the bridge until it was dark. Only then, she slowly crawled out from under the bridge.

She carried little Wan'er and walked to Shannan Village step by step.

Shannan Village was the kind of village that Ye Zhen Zhen described as a village located in a mountain valley. The land was barren and the population was sparse. And it was far away from the town. Very inconvenient as it took half a day travel.

By the time old woman Hua walked back to Shannan Village, the sky was already getting brighter.

She pushed open the courtyard door and walked in. Her silly son was sleeping on the kang with a pool of saliva drooling from the corner of his mouth. The house was messy and smelly. She was used to it though.

She threw little Wan'er beside her son and went back to sleep by herself.

She slept until noon and was woken up by little Wan'er's cry.

"Hehe, Younger Sister, Younger Sister! Younger Sister, eat. Eat!" Silly Geng clapped his hands happily, while stuffing a blackened pancake into little Wan'er's mouth.

The pancake was cold and hard. It was unknow how many days it had been left out. Silly Geng didn't know how to control his strength. He shoved the pancake into little Wan'er's mouth so hard that her lips bleed.

Little Wan'er screamed and refused. However, she was so small. How could she dodge?

Old woman Hua scratched her hair and walked in with a scold, "You damn bastard. You cry when you have something to eat! What is there to cry? Mourning? Silly Geng, don't worry about her. Just eat it yourself!"

No matter how weak an animal was, they got an instinctive fear of danger.

Seeing old woman Hua, little Wan'er's crying abruptly stopped. Her little body shrank in the corner and trembled.

Someone heard the movement and came over and asked old woman Hua, "Why did I hear the cry of a little girl just now?"

Old woman Hua smiled proudly: "There was a relative who gave birth to too many girls and couldn't afford to raise. So they gave her to us. When she grow up, it just happened that she can be our Silly Geng's wife!"

This kind of thing was normal, so everyone didn't find it strange when they heard it. Still, some people asked why old man Hua didn't come back.

Old woman Hua panicked and said that he would come back later. However, her heart kept beating like drums.

Two or three days passed like this and old man Hua still didn't come back. Old woman panicked.

She baked a few pancake for herself and her son. Then she carried two biscuits to the provincial capital to inquire. The result of the inquiries was... old man Hua was dead!

Old woman Hua was filled with hatred and sorrow. She hid under the bridge and cried for a long time before she wiped her snot and tears. Then she walked back to the village.


By the time she got home, it was already midnight.

She kicked open her son's door, picked up little Wan'er who was covered by a quilt on the side and slammed her violently!

Little Wan'er was dozing off when her body exploded with an sudden pain. She cried and struggled. However, she couldn't move at all.

Her voice was buried in the quilt. And the nearest home to Hua's house was more than 20 meters away. So no one knew that a little girl was beaten to half death that night.

...

Qiao's old house.

Qiao Xiu Zhi tossed and turned on the bed.

Xue Chuan said, "What happened to you today? Is there something on your mind?"

Qiao Xiu Zhi sighed and replied, "Old Fifth has been gone for a month, but he hasn't called back. I feel very uneasy. I kept feeling that something is going to happen."

Xue Chuan comforted: "It won't. Heaven naturally helps a good man. They will come back safely."

However, Qiao Xiu Zhi frowned deeper: "I didn't tell you before that on the day old Fifth went out, Da Qiao pulled her Fifth Uncle's hand and urged them not to leave. I thought about Da Qiao's strangeness then and persuaded old Fifth to change the time. But…”

"But old Fifth didn't listen to persuasion, right?" Xue Chuan helped her finish.

Of their five children, Eldest was the most naive and listens to them parents the most. Second was indecisive, but still could be persuaded.

It just happened, the three children below were more stubborn than the other.

When little Yi Ming was pushed into the river for the first time, as parents, they suggested to her to divorce. However, her heart softened and forgave Zhao Jie Fang.

Not to mention Qiao Hong Mei. She decided on her own marriage. Currently, her mindset treated Qiao Family as an enemy.

As for Qiao Zhen Min, he was the smartest and most capable of his siblings since he was a child. But often capable people were also the most arrogant and complacent.

Qiao Xiu Zhi sighed and said, "The phrase 'raise a child for a hundred years, ninety-nine of them are worry' is true. If there is a next life, let's only have one child. If there are too many children, we can't worry enough!"

Xue Chuan laughed: "Okay, if there is a next life, we will only have one. Whether it is a girl or a boy, one is enough."

However, Qiao Xiu Zhi said, "It's better to have a girl. As delicate and soft as Da Qiao."

Xue Chuan's smile became more gentle. There was doting in his eyes: "Da Qiao's child is indeed very likable."

The first time Da Qiao went to school, she skipped a grade and became a transfer student. She was worried that she would not be able to keep up with everyone, or that she would not be used to it.

Unexpectedly, within two days, she became blended with everyone. Now she had become a favorite of teachers and classmates.

Every time she came back from school, she would chat to them about school. Her little face was flushed and filled of joy.

After talking with her husband, Qiao Xiu Zhi felt a little better. After tossing and turning a few times, she finally fell asleep.

The next day was Sunday. No need to go to class. Da Qiao came to Qiao's old house bright and early.

As soon as Wan Chun Ju saw Da Qiao, she felt uncomfortable and pouted, "Why are you here again?"

Da Qiao spoke in a soft voice: "Eldest Aunt, I came to see my grandfather and grandmother. This is my grandfather and grandma's house. I have the right to come here. If you are like this again, I will tell my grandfather and grandmother!"

Wan Chun Ju was so angry that she stomped: "You bratty child. You dare to threaten me, see how I'll..."

She spewed out until her mother-in-law's figure walked over from the room. She immediately swallowed the latter words: "Oh, Da Qiao, why are you so cute? Eldest Aunt will give you candy later. Right now, Eldest Aunt is going to do housework. Go there and play."

After saying that, she turned around and ran away.

However, when she ran halfway, one of her foot stepped on a piece of chicken poo and she slipped. She almost fell on her butt!

Why was it almost? That was because in a desperate situation, she hugged the pillar next to her with one hand, so she didn't fall.

Soon the sound of her pig slaughter cry rang out from Qiao's old house: "Ouch...Ouch, Zhen Guo, come and help me. My hand got a splinter. It hurts me to death!"

It was unknown when a splinter appeared on the pillar. When she hugged the pillar, the splinter directly plunged into her palm. The pain made her cry!

Qiao Zhen Guo came out and saw his wife's face. He burst into laughter, "Wife, the three blister marks on your face are so funny. I want to laugh every time I see it!"

Wan Chun Ju: "..."

Before, she was splashed with hot water on her face and three burn mark appeared on her face. It hurt like hell!

What was even more irritating was that after the three blisters were healed, three very obvious blisters were left behind.

The positions of the three were very symmetrical. They all appear on the face, as if...

"It's like the Three Kingdoms are at odds." Qiao Zhen Guo added.

Wan Chun Ju: "..."

She was so furious that she almost vomited blood: "You can't get over this hurdle, right? How long will you laugh before you drop it?"

Qiao Zhen Guo: "When the blister mark is gone, I won't laugh anymore."

Wan Chun Ju: "..."

According to what he said, it seem this hurdle will not be over in this life!

Chapter 44


Wang Shui Sheng drove the village's old horse carriage with Qiao Zhen Guo and the female doctor on to the town.

He spoke to Qiao Zhen Guo, "There are so many educated youths coming over every year. The production team nearly can't fit them all in."

Qiao Zhen Guo was befuddled: "If you can't fit them in, then send them back. What's so difficult about this?"

Wang Shui Sheng: "..."

It seem that the atmosphere was a bit more awkward to not speak.

Wang Shui Sheng persisted: "Oh, Fang Family is constantly making trouble every day. If every household is like them, who would dare to be the production leader?"

Qiao Zhen Guo emotionally nodded: "Fortunately, our Qiao Family has nothing to do with them. Oh, I almost forgot that they are connected to your Wang Family now. Why can't your Wang Family think it through?"

Wang Shui Sheng: "..."

Sometimes, the sky was chatted to death like this!

Wang Shui Sheng closed his mouth, expressing that he didn't want to speak any more.

The female doctor who came with them heard this. Her lips slanted. She was very glad that she didn't speak.

Wang Shui Sheng was really worried in his heart. So many educated youths come down every year, and only a handful of them go back!

Some of these educated youths are slow-witted, while some were sick children. They ask for leave every three days. Few were really able to do farm work!

Reject having them can't do. This was above's assigned target. Really head-wrecking!

After more than an hour of bumpy ride, the carriage finally came to the gate of the town's station.

Because the educated youths were all arranged to arrive at the same time, it wasn't just their production team. Other production teams and communities had already arrived one after another.

This face-to-face confrontation immediately distinguishes the rich and the poor.

Some production teams drove tractors to pick up people, which was convenient and cool. It also garnish face.

Some use horse-drawn carriages to pick up people like Qili Village. Although the tools were a bit retro, they can still travel fast.

The poorer production teams can only use ox carts or mule carts. The poorest production team can't even get a mule cart. So they picked up the educated youth empty-handed!

The educated youths hoped that they could be assigned to production teams with tractors.

The better the production equipment, the richer it was. No one wanted to go to the production team that can only walk on two legs!

But there were more monks and less gruel . How can they all be assigned to the production team with tractors.

Soon a person-in-charge came over and began to allocate educated youth:

"Su Xing Sheng, Li Meng Meng... Cui Xiang. The seven of you follow the Hongtaiyang production team's leader."

"Ye Sheng..."

After reading for a long time, it was finally Qili Village's turn.

"Li Cai Liang, Wang Qing Shan, Cai Wei Guo... Ye Zhen Zhen, Da Zhi, the eight of you go to Qili production team's side!"

This time, Qili Village was assigned a total of eight educated youths. Four male and four female.

Wang Shui Sheng frowned even more when he saw that half of them were female.

It wasn't that he looked down on feamle. It was that farm work required strength. These kids from the city wouldn't be able to do farm work in the first place. Let alone the girls, who are arrogant and squeamish!

Wang Shui Sheng handed the list to Qiao Zhen Guo, who was on the side, and walked over to lead the educated youth over.

Qiao Zhen Guo took a look at the list and muttered, "There are still people called Blacksmith . Such a strange name, hahaha..."

Hearing the laughter, the female doctor turned her head and glanced at it. She only saw the word "Da Zhi " written on it. The corner of her mouth twitched. She silently lit a candle for the girl in her heart.

Ye Zhen Zhen and Da Zhi were two female educated youths from the same place. They were classmates, so they did everything together.

At this moment, the two of them were walking at the back. Their mouths droop and their faces expressed unhappiness.

Ye Zhen Zhen eyed at the tractor over at that side and spoke with slanted lips, "Why do you think we are so unlucky? It would be great if we could be assigned to that production team?"

Before she went to the countryside, she inquired around. Although they were all rural areas, the difference between rural areas and rural areas was also very big.

Some villages were richer than some counties and towns because of their good geographical location. Some villages were located in the mountains and corners. Not only were they very poor, but also very difficult to travel to a market.

When she came here, she was particularly afraid of being assigned to those poor production teams.

But her family was an ordinary family. On top of that she was a girl. Her family wasn't willing to find connections for her. Everything can only be left to fate.

Da Zhi's family was similar to Ye Zhen Zhen's. Both family didn't put in effort and they can only resign themselves to fate.


She glanced to both sides, and suddenly lowered her voice: "I wonder know when we can go back to the city. Have you ever thought about finding one in the countryside?"

Ye Zhen Zhen's expression said 'you're crazy': "Why do you have such a thought? Country people are old-fashioned and stupid. It can't be that you're thinking of marrying a country man?"

The corner of Da Zhi's mouth twitched. She stretched out her hand to tuck the hair on her temples behind her ears and replied, "Of course not. How could I be so dumb! However, you don't want your watery hands to become rough, right?"

Ye Zhen Zhen knew that Da Zhi had always had many tricks. So she leaned over to hold her hand and asked, "Do you have any plan? We are good friends. You must not hide it from me!"

Da Zhi leaned over and whispered in her ear.

Ye Zhen Zhen frowned from time to time. Her eyes also brightened from time to time. Finally she spoke, "This... I'm afraid it's not easy to handle, right?"

With a confident look on her face, Da Zhi curved her lips and merrily declared, "Then just wait and see. I'll show you how!"

Ye Zhen Zhen was surprised. Her eyes widened and exclaimed, "No way. You found your target so quickly? Could it be the production leader?"

Da Zhi hit her: "Damnit, be quiet! Do you want everyone to hear?"

Ye Zhen Zhen lowered her voice again: "Then tell me quickly. Which person did you chose?"

Da Zhi's eyes fell on the tall man with a simple and honest smile next to the carriage. Her lips pouted: "There. That one!"

The production leader had a high status. In principle, he was definitely better. But as soon as the production leader opened his mouth, she vetoed him.

Stubbornly strict, uncompromising and straightlaced. This kind of man was the most unlikely to mess around. It was too difficult to win this kind of man.

But the man next to the carriage was different. From the simple and honest smile on his face, she knew that this kind of person had little knowledge and a good temper. Seeing that he was tall and big, she was sure that he won't find excuse when she get him to help her in the future.

Ye Zhen Zhen followed her gaze and felt that Da Zhi was still the same as before. She liked good-looking men.

Although the man beside the carriage was a little older, got slightly darker skin, and have an old-fashioned air, his facial features were still pretty good.

At least he looked so many times better than the production leader who wore a straw hat and a frosty expression!

When they came to the carriage, Wang Shui Sheng announced in a rough voice, "Everyone get on the carriage. Men and women sit separately. Four on each side. Hurry up. It will take more than an hour to get back!"

In order to pick up these educated youth, who knows how much farm work was delayed!

When everyone saw the simple carriage, their hearts got a little colder again. Now it was like this, so what if they were dissatisfied?

Da Zhi was the fastest. She grabbed the seat next to Qiao Zhen Guo and sat down.

Da Zhi turned her face slightly and smiled, "This Elder Brother, can I sit here?"

Qiao Zhen Guo didn't answer.

Thinking he didn't hear it, Da Zhi asked again and gently pulled his sleeve.

This time, Qiao Zhen Guo heard it. He gave her a weird a look and responded, "You've already sat down and you're asking me if you can sit? What's the difference between doing that and taking off your pants to fart?"

Da Zhi: "..."

The female doctor sitting opposite almost couldn't hold back the laughter!

She turned her face to the side and shook violently.

Da Zhi lost face. She bit her lip lightly and resented that this country bumpkin was too ignorant!

However, Ye Zhen Zhen's two eyes were fixed on her. Thinking of her ocean wide boast she had just spouted, she didn't want to admit defeat.

Wang Shui Sheng saw that everyone had got onto the carriage, he also got on. With a holler, he drove the carriage back to the village.

Although they were dissatisfied with the broken carriage and that it wasn't a tractor, they were young people after all. They quickly introduced themselves to each other.

Da Zhi was the most beautiful among the four female educated youths. She spoke softly. The eyes of the four male educated youths fell on her at once.

It was a pity that Da Zhi didn't give them a gaze.

Of course, it didn't mean that she fell in love with Qiao Zhen Guo.

She just wanted to find a strong man in the production team and coax him to work for her.

At most, she will let the other party #receive some benefit. As long as she remained a virgin, it will not be difficult for her to return to the city and remarry in the future.

She had met an elder sister in the same yard as her family. After two years of going to the countryside, she had completely changed. She was dark and old-fashioned. Her skin was too rough. She had heard that it was because of too much farm work.

So she pondered about it before she went to the countryside this time. The tall man beside her was the first target she chose.

Halfway through the carriage-ride, a wild dog suddenly jumped out from the grass. It startled the horse and the carriage swayed.

Here was her chance!

God was helping her!

Da Zhi slanted her body. And as she screamed, she fall toward Qiao Zhen Guo.

Qiao Zhen Guo was caught off guard. There was a woman in his arms. Big eyes looked at small eyes.

Of course, Da Zhi didn't keep leaning on him. She sat upright soon and showed him a sweet and shy smile: "Elder Brother Qiao, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I would definitely fall!"

From the conversation between him and the production leader just now, she already knew that his surname was Qiao and first name was Zhen Guo.

Qiao Zhen Guo turned back around with an "oh" and said to Wang Shui Sheng, "It turns out that pretty girls have boogers too. She fell down just now and I saw her boogers at a glance. There are quite a few!"

Everyone: "..."

Da Zhi: "..."

Just now, the educated youth had some favorable impressions of Da Zhi just because of her appearance. Now, that impression instantly collapsed in their heart.

Da Zhi's face went red and white. She almost broke her teeth from clenching in hatred!

...

In the provincial railway station.

A couple walked out of a green leather train. The woman was dressed in floral clothes, while the man was dressed in gray clothes. Their face was quite weathered.

After leaving the train station, the old man Hua complained: "The family is already too poor to open the stove. Why did you pick up a lass?"

Old woman Hua had a 'you're stupid' expression on her face: "Who do you think I'm doing this for? Isn't it for our son? Our family is so poor. And our son is an idiot. Which family do you think would be willing to give up their daughter and marry into our family?"

Realization dawned on old man Hua: "So... you want to raise this girly as a child bride?"

Old woman Hua nodded: "Of course, how much can a girl eat? It just happened that we are busy. She can help with the housework. Once she is old enough, she will directly be our son's wife, and give birth to a few grandchildren in the future. Our Hua Family will have a future!"

Old man Hua thought this idea was a good idea and looked at his wife with admiration, "You thought it through. Then we can go back after we buy something. Son must be waiting for us!"

The two of them walked towards the supply and demand cooperative. One was holding the child and the other was carrying the sack.

Not long after they left, a man and a woman came out from the alley.

The two looked at each other. The man followed, while the woman ran towards the police station.

ESWHYMY 18

Chapter 18. Late night grilled fish


You Jin smilingly reached out and rubbed You Zhu's little head: "Okay. Once you grow up, Third Elder Sister will let you protect!"

It was precisely because of You Jin's words that You Zhu's determination to protect the big family of sisters harden even more. Later when she grow up, she make a fuss about not marrying to follow You Jin and caused Mrs. Su to have headaches.

Back to the current situation. Seeing that You Zhu was fine, You Jin asked Doctor Ma and his wife to take care of You Zhu. She went to the drying yard to check on You Luo's condition.

You Luo's calf was red and swollen from the stung. After rubbing the parasa consocia's vessel on it, You Jin gently patted You Luo's small head and praised: "Third Elder Sister heard from Granny Zhang that it was little Eighth who went to fetch Doctor Ma to rescue your Fifth Elder Sister. You didn't cry when are stung. Our little Eighth is awesome!"

Little Eighth originally wanted to cry because of the pain from the sting on her leg. Now she heard Third Elder Sister complimenting her, she instantly puffed her small chest with joy: "Little Eighth not hurt!"

You Bao looked at You Luo's slightly red eyes and hide her short chuckle behind her hand: "Who was crying just now that it hurts? Now it doesn't hurt anymore. Our little Eighth is really growing fast! "

"Sixth Elder Sister!" Little Eighth pouted at You Jin: "Third Elder Sister, Sixth Elder Sister is making fun of me!"

"Okay, okay. Let's not mess anymore. You Bao, you lead them in guarding here. I'll go see your Fifth Elder Sister. If it's all right, I'll go back to the field to work!" After instructing them, You Jin went to thank Granny Zhang again: "Thank you Granny Zhang for calling Xiao Ke to tell me. If you hadn't helped protect the sisters, maybe something would have happened."

Granny Zhang smiled kindly and waved her hand: "We're all from the same village. You Jin, don't be so polite to me. Is little Fifth okay?"
Granny Zhang were fond Yue Family's second branch's daughters very much All of them were very sensible and well-behaved. But thinking of the other children in Yue Family, Granny Zhang couldn't help frowning: "It's not that I want to talk too much. That Wen Wei from your Eldest Uncle's family is too insensible. He led outsiders to bully his own family!"

After listening, You Jin didn't speak too much. She just lowered her eyes slightly. The smile at the corner of her mouth faded by few degree: "Wen Wei is still young, so he's insensible. Speaking of this, I have something else to ask you, Granny Zhang. Only you saw what Wen Wei did today. I want to ask you to not speak of it. You know the situation in our family..."

Looking at You Jin's 'it's complicated' expression, Granny Zhang sighed lightly: "Oh, I understand. But I'm not the only one who saw it today. Elder Sister Zhou also saw it. It should be fine if I say a word to her. "

"Then I'll trouble Granny Zhang." You Jin nodded gratefully. After all, if old Mrs. Chen found out about this, she would probably be able to turn the black into the white. Or even hit back unfairly. On the surface, this matter passed. As for privately, how You Jin want to retaliate, that was her own business.

She went back to Doctor Ma to confirm You Zhu's situation, Doctor Ma had boiled the medicine and fed it You Zhu. Seeing that the redness and swelling on You Zhu's body had almost disappeared, You Jin breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Doctor Ma. Can I owe you the money for this consultation first..."
Although she was very embarrassed, You Jin had no money. So she could put it on credit with him with shame.

Doctor Ma replied with a smile: "It's fine. It's just some herbs for clearing heat and detoxification. I picked them all up in the mountains by myself. Not worth a lot of money. Besides, you gave me such a good recipe and didn't take my money. It was me who benefitted!"

You Jin felt that Doctor Ma said this on purpose. Just to reassure her. She knew that she owed a lot to Doctor Ma and etched Doctor Ma's kindness to heart. In the future, when she has the ability, she must repay Doctor Ma's kindness.

When You Jin returned to the field at the west end of the village, You Yin, who was fretting to end's wits, hurried over to greet her "Third Elder Sister, how is little Fifth?"

She patted You Yin on the shoulder and jollily assured: "It's all fine. It's just children playing around. How can it be a big deal?"
You Jin knew You Yin's temperament. Once she tell her the truth, she will definitely overthink. Better to not say.

Hearing what Third Elder Sister said, You Yin believed it. She was greatly relieved: "It's good that nothing happened. When Xiao Ke rushed to call you, I thought something big had happened!"
Even though You Yin was attentive, she deeply believed in You Jin. When she heard her explanation, she believed it and finally let her raised heart settle down.

On the other hand, Yue Da Fu didn't ask a word since You Jin return. As if this had never happened.

***

The harvest rush basically from the time the rooster crow until the lights were turned on late at night. After pulling the last truckload of grain back to the drying yard, Yue Family members dragged their tired bodies and stepped on the moonlight back home.

After returning home, You Jin and her sisters couldn't even take a hot bath, because Old Chen was guarding by the door of the kitchen. Only a bucket of hot water was prepared for Yue Da Fu and Yue Chang Lu. You Jin braved herself to ask for some hot water and received a big eye roll: "Doesn't hot water need firewood? What hot water? Are you a young lady in the city? To actually want hot water to wash up! How about I prepare two more bars of soap for you to wash your head and feet!"

You Jin sighed deeply. After an exhausting day, she really didn't have the strength to handle her. So she could only drop it. She took the few younger sisters to the lower part of Cuifeng River that flow through the village. Even if they couldn't take a bath, they still had to use water and wipe their body.

The night wind was cold. Standing by the slow-flowing river, You Jin warned the group that they weren't allowed to go into the water: "In this darkness, don't go down. If you get pulled away the water, Third Elder Sister won't be able to save you."
Then she instructed You Yin picked up some dry wood to build a fire by the river. While she pulled off her outer clothes and plunged into the water with a plop.

"Third Elder Sister, be careful!" You Zhu and You Bao shouted in unison. The two sisters soaked a shabby handkerchief by the river with water. They first washed little Seventh and little Eighth's face and took some cold water to wash the two's hands and feet. Then two sisters hurriedly moved the two youngest to the side where You Yin built the fire to heat up.

You Ling and You Luo were young, so they didn't think it was a bitter experience. On the contrary, they thought it was a very interesting and fun thing. The two little toddlers were sitting and giggling by the fire. No fuss from them at all.

Unlike the other girls in Yue family who were not terrible at swimming, You Jin was very good in the water. After she plunged into the water and suddenly stood up within a quarter of an hour. The water here wasn't deep. Only reach to You Jin's shoulders. In You Jin's raised hands was a big carp that was twisting hard!

The scales of the big carp shone a little from the firelight. The few sisters' attention were attracted: "Wow! A big fish!"

You Jin vigorously threw the fish to the shore: "You Yin, grill the fish on a stick!"
After that, she turned around and plunged into the water. When You Yin received Third Elder Sister's words, she quickly found a clean wooden stick, pierce through it and directly roasted it.

This fish wasn't cooked yet when You Jin caught three fish one after another and threw them ashore. Only then, she crawled out of the water.

"Third Elder Sister, come and warm up by the fire! It won't be cold anymore!" You Bao beckoned to her and urged her to come over. You Jin smiled and nodded. She went to fetch clean clothes and changed into them behind the tree. Once she came out wearing dry and warm clothes, she hugged little Seventh and little Eighth in her arms to block the cold night wind for the two of them. Looking at the slightly golden fish, she merrily remarked, "It's so fragrant!"

The few sisters subconsciously bobbed their head in suit and then quietly swallowed their drool. The grilled fish was really delicious!

The fishes that You Jin caught in the water were all about a jin and a half. Tonight, apart from little Ninth, who had already slept, the rest of the sisters came. Four fishes were enough for seven people to eat. Under the eager eyes of the younger sisters, You Jin took off a piece of fish and tasted it herself first. Afterward, she announced, "It's cooked. You can eat it."
Then sisters started to eat the fish together.

You Jin was the oldest and had bigger appetite than the few younger sisters. So she chose the smallest one to eat by herself. The remaining three were divided among the five younger sisters. The younger sisters stretched out their hands, pulled off a piece of fish, and put it in their mouths. Like this, they gobbled it in big gulps: "It's delicious!"

You Jin grinningly watched the few younger sisters eating in content and felt a lot more relaxed. She also munched with big gulps. In fact, this fish's belly hadn't been open.  Nor were there seasoning. It wasn't delicious in the true sense. But in the eyes of Yue Family's little girls who can't get enough to eat all year round, this was simply most delicious on earth!

After taking a few bites, You Bao stopped her hand. Her eyes stared at You Jin: "Third Elder Sister, can I leave mine to Mother and little Ninth?"

After hearing to younger sister's sensible words, You Jin couldn't help feeling a little moved. She reached out and rubbed You Bao's little head: "You Bao, eat your fill first, okay? Father is at home tonight. If Father finds out, there might be trouble. After the autumn harvest, I'll try to find something for Mother and little Ninth to eat, okay?"

When they thought of their father who often beat them, the little girls couldn't help but shiver. Everyone was afraid of Father who would beat others when he came home all day and have sudden outburst. So they all nodded obediently: "En! We'll listen to Third Elder Sister. ."

"Okay! Hurry up and eat. We have to go home and sleep in a while! We've been out for a long time. Mother is probably getting anxious!" You Jin smilingly urged the few people to finish the grilled fish. After finishing, the remaining fish bones were thrown into the Cuifeng River and the fire was extinguish with soil. Only then they went home hand in hand.

The moon glisten in the quiet autumn night. Although You Jin and others didn't bring lanterns, there was the cold as frost moonlight. The way home was easy. It took only a quarter of an hour to get home from the place where everyone was grilling fish. The sound of opening the door was "squeaky" and particularly loud in the already sleeping village.

Mrs. Su, who was coaxing little Ninth to sleep on the outer kang of the west wing, knew that the children had returned when the courtyard door rang: "Why did it take you so long to come back? If you don't come back, it will scary!"

The few little girls climbed onto the kang as quiet as possible, snuggled up beside Mrs. Su, and whispered: "Third Elder Sister caught a lot of fish in the river. We grilled the fishes and ate it!" Their gaze toward Mrs. Su carried guilt: "We ate it all and didn't bring it back to Mother..."

Mrs. Su grinningly comforted the little girls: "It's okay. Mother knows that you have me in your heart. Mother is happy that you are full. You have to get up early for work tomorrow. Go to bed early."

The few little girls nodded happily. Shortly after, they fell asleep.

Chapter 43


Qili Village didn't have its own school. Children in the village can only go to the community primary school if they want to study.

According to the regulations, Da Qiao was originally going to register as a new student in September. But when Xue Chuan was teaching Da Qiao to read, he discovered that she was very smart. Whether it was Chinese or Math, she caught on in one go.

The couple discussed it and felt that they couldn't delay any longer. So a few days before the school started, they brought two packs of snacks to the community primary school's principal's house.

Principal Li was originally reluctant and stated that they would follow the rules. However, the principal's wife couldn't take her eyes off the two packets of snacks and she took the initiative to accept the snacks.

Principal Li was henpecked. He watched his wife take away the snacks without even daring to let out half a fart. He had no choice but to change his mind. He said that he had to test Da Qiao's level before making the decision.

He took Qiao Family to the office and took two sets of first-grade exam papers for Da Qiao to do.

Da Qiao had already completed the first grade textbooks and half of the second grade textbooks. So after getting the test paper, she took out a pencil from her pocket and started to do it without hesitation.

The two sets of papers took a total of one and a half hours.

After all, it was a first-grade test paper. Principal Li had no problem marking it on his own. He didn't call any teacher over to mark it. He personally checked it.

He picked up the test paper and examined it. His eyes lit up at the sight of the neat handwriting.

Principal Li had two grandsons who happen to be in the first grade. The words written by the two children were like chicken feet being stamped through. They were completely incomprehensible.

Not bad. It was rare to be able to write so neatly at a young age!

And he had heard from her grandparents that she only studied for more than a month in total. If she was as smart as her grandmother said, he can consider accepting her and properly educate her at that time.

Thinking of this, the nervousness in Principal Li's heart dissipated a lot.

Soon the two sets of test papers were marked. When looking at the two neat one hundred percent, Principal Li's remaining little bit of discomfort completely disappeared without a trace.

Principal Li touched his slightly bald head and smiled: "This child isn't bad. A good child. Let her come to the school to report in two days. Since first grade had been completed, let her transfer to the second grade. If she can't keep up then, she can repeat first grade later."

With this, it was settled.

Day of enrollment arrived.

Da Qiao carried the green schoolbag her grandfather made for her. It was embroidered with three little people on it. Her, Grandfather, and Grandmother. After her dad saw it, he felt sad for a long time.

Inside the bag were two pencils, an eraser, and a workbook.

Oh right! Today was the first day of school. She must put on the most beautiful new clothes. Her hair was brushed smooth and slick and put into two small braids. She stood in front of the mirror. A cute little girl instantly appeared in it.

Da Qiao was very satisfied with her dress up. She kept dangling the braids on her head. Her proud and cute appearance fluffed everyone's face red.

However, Wan Chun Ju felt extremely uncomfortable when seeing Da Qiao completely dressed in new stuff from head to toe: "Oh, some people's lives are good. New clothes, new shoes, and new schoolbags. Our pityful An Ping's schoolbag is still the one from three years ago!"

Wan Chun Ju couldn't wrap her head around!

An Ping was obviously the only male grandson of Qiao Family. Her parents-in-law should treat him as their favorite. But instead of pampering An Ping, they go to favor that calamity Da Qiao. This made her worked up!

Before there was the matter of taking out 500 yuan to buy a house in the town. She still hadn't grasp her mind on that until now. Now seeing her in new clothes was stabbing her eyes.

Da Qiao knew Eldest Aunt was talking about her. So she walked over and said softly: "Eldest Aunt, Grandmother and Grandfather had said that my schoolbag will be used for a good few years. It will not be a new schoolbag next year."

What she meant was that her elder cousin brother's schoolbag was also a new schoolbag three years ago and her schoolbag will be used for at least three years. It will not be a new schoolbag by then.

Wan Chun Ju glared at her: "You talk too much. I wasn't talking to you. Get out of the way. Don't block me from doing housework!"

Chen Qiao Qiao went to the provincial city with her man. Most of the housework fell on her shoulder. The more she thought about it, the more angry she became.

When she came to the stove, she threw the large spoon into the pot with force. The hot water in the pot splashed out and fell on her face. It caused her to jump and scream in pain, "Ouch..."

The few children who just walked out of Qiao's old house heard it and didn't take it seriously.

An Ping even laughed and said, "Mom is performing the slaughtering pig act again!"

Qiao Dong Ying shrugged: "Just don't know what the reason for this this time?"

Of the children, only Qiao Dong He showed a hint of worry in her eyes.

At this moment, the family had either went to school or went to the field. Wan Chun Ju cried for a while, but no one came to ask her what was wrong.

Infuriating!

Qiao Xiu Zhi walked with the children for an hour to the community primary school.

There weren't any primary school in the many nearby production teams. So there were still many people who came to register today.

When everyone saw Da Qiao, they couldn't help but look at her. Mainly because she was so fair that she seemed to glow.

During this period, most people were dressed in gray. Some people's clothes were even patched. Only she had new clothes, shoes, and schoolbags. It was really eye-catching!

Simply enviable. They also want new clothes, new shoes and new schoolbags...

After registration, the children went to their own classes.

Qiao Dong He took Da Qiao's hand and spoke, "I'm in the fifth grade, class four. If you have any problem, you can go there to find me. Don't casually walk around after school. Wait for us at the entrance and we'll go back together, understand?"

Da Qiao nodded obediently: "I know, I won't wander around."

Qiao Dong Ying acted like a cool elder sister. She put her hand on Da Qiao's shoulder and stated: "If someone dares to bully you, you should report my name, Elder Sister Ying. It'll ensure that no one dares to do anything to you. Got it?"

Da Qiao nodded again, "Got it, Elder Sister Ying!"

An Ping saw that both elder sisters had spoken and felt not speaking won't do. He rubbed his head and uttered, "Younger Sister Da Qiao, if someone asks you if you are my younger cousin sister, you must say no!"

Da Qiao was stunned: "Why say no?"

"Because if you said yes, everyone will think you are part of the egg-egg clan like me! Hahaha..."

Eight of the ten times, An Ping's exams were double-zero. He were called egg-egg clan along with several other slackers.

Qiao Dong Ying swiped him with her paw: "Instead of feeling ashamed, you're actually proud, right? Younger Sister Da Qiao, don't imitate him!"

Qiao Xiu Zhi took in the children's unity and friendliness. So she left with confidence.

When she walked to the school gate, she happened to bump into Fang Family who also came to register. Behind them, was Xiao Qiao with a haggard face.

When enemies meet, their eyes particularly red!

When Fang Family saw Qiao Xiu Zhi, they all remembered the matter of being smeared with chicken poo. They gritted their teeth with hatred. However, they didn't dare to go up.

Not only did they not dare to fight, they were also afraid that Qiao Xiu Zhi would suddenly beat them up. Instantly, they slipped away as if a ghost was chasing them!

When Xiao Qiao saw her grandmother, surprise flashed in her eyes.

In the past, when the school started, Qiao's children came to register by themselves. Her grandmother never accompanied them here. Why did she come this time?

She frowned and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

It couldn't be that...

Soon, her hunch was confirmed.

During recess, she a group of children surrounding a little girl on her way back from going to the toilet. As if the stars clustering around the moon.

She didn't pay heed until she heard someone say, "Da Qiao, your schoolbag is so beautiful. Where did you buy it?"

Da Qiao?

Xiao Qiao's heart dropped and she turned her head to look...

She saw Da Qiao was wearing new clothes, with two braids on her head, and a small pear-shaped velvet flower on each tail of the braids. Her face was fair and rosy. When she talked to everyone, the corners of her mouth carried a sweet smile.

In the midst of a group of swarthy and sallow children, she was like a little princess. So blinding that it hurt the eyes.

Xiao Qiao subconsciously looked down at her clothes.

The clothes on her body were made last year. Counting the time, it wasn't so long ago. Before, Da Qiao picked up the clothes she didn't want to wear. While she got new clothes and shoes made every year before school started.

But since leaving Qiao's house, she had never worn new clothes or shoes!

To make matters worse, her grandma sent Fang You Liang and Fang You Rou to Wang Family. All the chores at home fell on her shoulders. She had been working every day from the moment she opened her eyes. Even until it was dark at night, it was never-ending!

Her hands were originally fair, tender and smooth. But now, calluses can be seen.

The more she thought about it, the more her heart pained and the more unwilling to admit defeat she became!

She had transmigrated into a novel and reborn. She was clearly the heroine of luck!

The person who enjoy the happiness should be her. Now the moon who was surrounded by the stars should also be her. Not Da Qiao!

She clenched her fists and glared at Da Qiao fiercely. An evil thought welled up in her heart.

If only one heroine can survive in the book, that person can only be her.

It had to be her!

...

Qiao Zhen Min took his wife and daughter to the town for one night. The next day, they took a bus from the town to the county. Then they prepared to take a train from the county to the provincial capital.

It was too inconvenient to travel during this age. In just two days, Chen Qiao Qiao and little Wan'er already had tiredness on their faces.

Especially Chen Qiao Qiao. She was originally slender. After running around for two days in a row, she felt that she might collapse at any moment.

The train was late. They had been waiting at the train station for more than half an hour. They didn't know when the train would come. The people waiting for the train were complaining.

"Tired? Do you want to find a place to sit for a while?" Qiao Zhen Min looked back at his pale-faced wife and asked with a slight pained heart.

Chen Qiao Qiao shook her head and replied, "No need. Maybe the train will arrive soon."

There were too many people in the station. If they go too far, it was very likely that they won't be able to get on the train. So no one dared to go far.

Suddenly, little Wan'er, who was in Qiao Zhen Min's arms, burst into tears.

"Little Wan'er, what's the matter? Are you hungry?" Qiao Zhen Min lowered his head and coaxed.

Little Wan'er stared at the man who was eating wontons across from them. Her eyes were red from crying, but she didn't speak.



Qiao Zhen Min followed her gaze and understood in his heart.

He glanced in the direction where the train should be coming from. There was still no sign of the train's arrival. So he instructed Chen Qiao Qiao: "Watch at the child and things. I'll go buy two bowls of wontons and come back soon."

Chen Qiao Qiao took the child from him and said nervously, "Then hurry up."

Qiao Zhen Min nodded: "Don't worry. I'll be back soon!"

After he finished speaking, he turned and bolted away. After running several meters away, he could still hear his daughter's cry.

At that moment, he didn't know if it was parent-child connection or what, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at his daughter.

His daughter's palm-sized face was filled with tears, crying pitifully in her mom's arms. His heart softened and the wind sprung under his feet.

After Qiao Zhen Min left, Chen Qiao Qiao's heart kept beating like drums.

She had one hundred and fifty yuan on her. So much money. Her man would need save for a year without eating or drinking to reach this sum!

And now that so much money was on her, she felt everyone was a thief. She feared that someone will come and steal her money!

When they went out this time, Qiao Xiu Zhi gave them 500 yuan. It shouldn't cost that much to see a doctor. Well, it was always better for a poor family to strap up with money on the road.

Because Qiao Zhen Min was afraid of mishaps, he divided the money into two parts. The majority was on his own body. The lesser with his wife. This way, if something happened to one of them, the whole army won't be wiped out.

Chen Qiao Qiao placed 150 yuan in two places. 100 yuan was sewn into the clothes and 50 yuan was put in the bag. This way, it was more convenient to use.

She was currently holding her daughter in one hand and holding the bag tightly in the other as she stared vigilantly at every passerby passing by her.

When one looked at everyone like a thief, they will also look like a thief in others' eyes. Chen Qiao Qiao's behavior soon caught the eyes of people with bad thoughts.

Soon, a person rushed over and bumped into her.

Chen Qiao Qiao lost stability and fell to the ground. Little Wan'er was dropped to the ground. She burst into thunderous tears. Chen Qiao Qiao's bag also fell to the ground and was kicked far away by some unknown person.

"My bag!" Chen Qiao Qiao became anxious. When she stood up, she wanted to grab the bag. However, before she could stand up, the bag was snatched away by a young man!

She was stunned for a moment before screaming: "Thief! Robbery! Everyone, stop him!"

Chen Qiao Qiao got up and chased after him. Completely forgetting her daughter who was crying loudly behind her.

Some people noticed that a little girl was crying so badly. They went over to pick her up and help her clean the dust off her body.

Just then, there was the roar of a train from a short distance away.

Everyone's eyes lit up. The train finally came!

The people waiting for the train immediately carried their baggage and rushed up. Little Wan'er was caught in the crowd. Like a pinball, she was bumped around by people. In the end, she pushed into the train.

Once Chen Qiao Qiao got back her bag with the help of passers-by and handed the thief to the staff, she remembered that her daughter was alone at the platform. Immediately, she ran back.

However, when she got back, almost all the people on the platform were gone. And her daughter was gone!

Her legs went weak and she fell to the ground!

Qiao Zhen Min was halfway back from buying wontons when he heard the roar of the train in the distance. Internally, he lamented. They missed this ride. Who knows how long the next one will be.

But thinking that his daughter would soon be able to eat her desired wontons, the corners of his mouth raised again.

Before reaching the platform, he heard a woman's heart-wrenching cry.

It was his wife's voice!

His heart trembled. He threw the wonton in his hand and ran over. The scene of his wife sitting on the ground entered his eyes. She was crying so hard that she almost fainted. However, there was no trace of their daughter by her side!

His face turned pale. He walked over and grabbed Chen Qiao Qiao's shoulder, and sharply questioned, "Where's little Wan'er? Where is little Wan'er?"

When Chen Qiao Qiao saw her man come back, she immediately found her backbone. At the same time, her heart trembled even more: "I don't know, my bag was... robbed. I chased after him. Once I got back... Little Wan'er, little Wan'er, she's gone!"

Gone!

Hearing this word, Qiao Zhen Min clenched his hands tightly. So hard that he almost crushed Chen Qiao Qiao's shoulders!

"Is the bag more important, or is little Wan'er more important? How can you feel assured leaving her there alone?"

Qiao Zhen Min was so angry that the veins on his neck and forehead were bulging. His gaze was daggered.

He stood up, saw how many people were looking at them, and immediately ran over to ask them, "Hello, my daughter has been lost. Did you see a four-year-old girl just now? About this tall?"

Those few people shook their heads: "Didn't see her. We just got here."

Someone spoke: "Could it be that someone carried her away?"

Some people added: "Maybe someone took her onto the train? Oh, you better tell your wife to stop crying and quickly go to the station staff for help. If they can't do anything, hurry up and call the police!"

"That's right. Stop crying. Hurry up and call the police!"

Qiao Zhen Min regretted it to death!

He shouldn't leave. Even if he wants to leave, he should hold little Wan'er!

It was useless to say anything now. Better quickly call the police!

Qiao Zhen Min was impatient and ran towards the waiting room. The staff heard that a child was missing. They eagerly helped them by asking the passers-by. But no one saw her.

The train had already gone far away. It was impossible to stop the train and they weren't necessarily sure that the child was in the train.

Staff advised them to go to the police immediately.

Qiao Zhenmin's heart sank deeper and deeper. It endlessly sank down.

Inside the train compartment, little Wan'er was pulled in by the crowd. She looked up at the people around her. She knew none of them.

Her mouth was tightened into a line before she cried again with a "WAA".

Just now, everyone was looking for a seat. It was only now did they notice a child standing in the middle of the corridor. Someone spoke out, "Whose child is this?"

"Whose child has been lost? Come out and take the child back!"

"What kind parents are her parents? Don't even know that the child is gone. Oh, my heart hurts to see the little face crying pitifully."

After shouting for a long time, no one came out to claim her. Just when everyone was about to call the train attendants over, a woman in floral clothes rushed over.

She seem to be in her forties. She carried little Wan'er and said anxiously, "Ah, Niu Niu, why did you come here? You really scared grandma to death!"

After speaking, she smilingly apologized to everyone in an unpretentious manner: "I'm really sorry for everyone. I was in a hurry to find a seat just now. I didn't watch this child and she ran here in a blink of an eye. I disturbed everyone. I'm really sorry!"

Seeing that the little girl did not resist, everyone thought that this woman was really her grandma.

So everyone responded, "It's okay. It's okay. Hurry up and take her back. Look how terrified the child is."

"Okay, I'll take her back now." The woman turned around with little Wan'er in her arms and quickly walked to the carriage at the other end.

Chapter 701. The end


Earlier, Lin Qing He had wanted match Gang Zi to her maternal niece, Lin Xiu. However, the two didn't need her to match them. At some unknown time, the two of them quietly dated by themselves.

Later, Lin Qing He noticed that the atmosphere between the two people seemed to be different and asked about it.

And discovered that it had been happening for almost two months!

Although Lin Qing He reprimanded her maternal niece, there was nothing else.

She watched Gang Zi grow up. He was a hard-working and diligent. In the future, he won't do badly.

In the early '90s, Gang Zi couldn't afford to buy a house. He bought a commercial house of more than 80 square meters in the mid-'90s. The location was very good. He spent 160,000 yuan.

It was almost all of Gang Zi's net worth.

Gang Zi and Lin Xiu married in the same year the house was bought.

Lin Qinghe took care of the furniture for them. The whole set of furniture were treated as her wedding gifts for them.

The two were blissful after marriage. Lin Xiu still worked as an accountant at Lin Qing He's side. As for Gang Zi, he set up a stall for two more years. Then he didn't continue to set up stalls anymore.

After 'Grandpa Zhou' chain store went into operation, he directly became the manager of a few "Grandpa Zhou' shops and began to receive his salary.

Still his luck was good. Didn’t he buy a store before? That store was demolished and the area was used to build a road. So he was compensated a lot.

With this money, Gang Zi changed for another shop. A particularly good shop. Then he went over to study in his maternal aunt's dried good shop for more than half a month. After that, he came out and opened a dried good shop by himself.

He collected the goods from his maternal aunt's shop, which was very convenient.

His luck was really good. The shop hadn't opened for long. In less than half a year, a new market was built over there.

So Gang Zi made a fortune. It was definitely a good profit. One can tell since he went to get the goods twice a month.

He and Lin Xiu had a daughter. The family of three lived happily.

Xu Sheng Qiang had married a wife. She was a local citizen in the capital. She wasn't pretty but she was very capable inside and outside.

It was Lin Qing He who introduced her to him.

Later, the two married and gave birth to a son. Lin Qing He got Xu Sheng Qiang couple to buy a house in the late '90s.

She didn't pitch in but gave a proof of income. She told them to go to the bank for a loan on their own. Then they can slowly repay it later.

Speaking of Xu Sheng Qiang, there was another thing worth mentioning. His elder sister, Xu Sheng Mei.

Later, his elder sister Xu Sheng Mei divorced again and never married again. But she didn't mingle bad at all. Only had a poor reputation.

Because she later matched with an old man who was more than 20 years older than her. His son was older than her and still she went to be a stepmother.

Out of the second generation, Zhou Er Ni married the best.

She married Wang Yuan. Although Wang Yuan was rich and powerful, he wasn't a playboy. He had a very strong relationship with Zhou Er Ni. The twins were sent abroad to study.

The two of them couldn't be any more carefree.

Zhou Si Ni had also married well. She married Weng Guo Dong, who had an iron rice bowl. Which was safe and stable and their social status wasn't low.

After Zhou San Ni and Li Ai Guo went out on their own, their business wasn't as good as Lin Qing He's side. Still, it wasn't bad either.

The couple had bought a flat at the end of the '90s. It was more than 100 square meters. Still, they bought it in full.

According to Zhou San Ni's statement, after buying this flat, she can feel at ease.

Zhou Wu Ni settled in Hai City. Jiang Heng took care of the business in Hai City. The two got dual income. They had borrowed Lin Qing He’s place to stay until '02. Only then, they went out to buy a house by themselves.

The one that had the best relationship with Lin Qing He was Zhou Xiao Mei.

Zhou Xiao Mei and Su Da Lin came together a the beginning thanks to her. Later, they lived happily. All four children were college students.

Of course, with Lin Qing He's support, Zhou Xiao Mei paid a down payment for the four siblings. Then she told them to go to work by themselves and repay the loan for their own house.

Anyone in the capital basically had at least one house of their own.

So when the real estate here in the capital turned over, all these young people grinned ear to ear.

Fortunately, they bought it early. Otherwise can they still afford it? A small house was worth millions, which was a sky-high price.

Everyone in Zhou Family had it stable in the capital. No matter what, they didn't need to rent a house. They were at the forefront and all have their own houses.

Later, Mother Weng, this in-law family, also bought a house under Lin Qing He's suggestion.

Because the clothing business wasn't do very good, it was better to buy a house to rent out. There was income every month.

Of course, because the shop was bought by herself in the past, there was no rental payment required. Mother Weng wasn't worried about losing money. So the couple's life was relatively secure.

They were all covered by social insurance. There was no cost to see a doctor and take medicine.

The development in their hometown was also very good.

Third Brother had changed his motorcycle to a truck and opened another shop. Still, he couldn't compare to Third Brother Lin in the end.

Third Brother Lin bought two houses in the county city. When the two houses were bought, one was 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. Later, it rose to 100,000 yuan for one. Still, Third Brother Lin didn't sell it. He held on to it.

Even when Third Brother didn't know, he revealed it to his third sister, Lin Qing He.

He will leave it to his two sons in the future.

Both of Third Brother Lin's sons were also doing business in the county city. They were considered to have inherited their father's profession.

Zhou Xia was also living well. While, Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law had never seen each other again for the rest of their entire lives. The money was sent back every month.

Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law were almost the winners in life. They are cadres in the village and their days were vibrant.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai lived to their nineties.

When Lin Qing He got up that morning, Lin Qing He had a hunch. She was at this age, how could she not have an idea?

Lin Qing He smilingly told Zhou Qing Bai: "My space is gone. I think it's almost time for me."

Zhou Qing Bai just grasped her hand and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid. I will be with you."

Lin Qing He left in the afternoon. She had departed very peacefully. All the children came over.

Zhou Qing Bai passed his final words.

There wasn't much to instruct. Because their age was high, the family property that should be divided were divided and the will that should be made were made.

So after giving his final words, Zhou Qing Bai took his wife's hand and lay down beside her slowly. Before he died, he only said: "Wife, I'm coming. It's dark underneath, I'll accompany you. Don't be afraid."

Chapter 42


After Qiao Zhen Min expressed his opinion, Qiao Xiu Zhi glanced at everyone again: "Who else wants to speak?"

Qiao Zhen Jun saw that his mom never looked at him and could only uttered: "Mom, I know you dote Da Qiao, but this matter can't..."

But before he could finish speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Qiao Xiu Zhi: "I know what you want to say? You want to say that Da Qiao is still young and don't need to buy her a house, right?"

Under his mom's pressuring gaze, Qiao Zhen Jun suddenly felt that his head was thousand gold heavy. He couldn't continue for a long time.

When his mom announced this decision just now, he saw everyone's expressions.

He was very happy that his parents love Da Qiao, but if this matter wasn't handled properly, it will inevitably lead to family conflicts. Da Qiao may get rejected by his family!

He really didn't want to see this happen.

Qiao Xiu Zhi stated: "I said it just now. The century old Ganoderma lucidum was found by Da Qiao. You guys coincidentally rubbed in some benefits. She deserves this house. Even when you are her dad, you have no right to refuse for her. Also, you don't have the ability to buy it for her. You got the shame to push out the benefits that you have obtained. You are really her dad!"

Qiao Zhen Jun: ...

You are also a mom!

Qiao Zhen Jun blushed like a cooked shrimp. At the same time, he felt very guilty.

That's right. He had no ability to give his daughter a good life. Now he want to refuse her chance of living a good life. Was he really her dad?

Qiao Zhen Jun fell into a deep doubt about himself.

"Next!" Qiao Xiu Zhi domineeringly called as she scanned the crowd.

The flesh on Wan Chun Ju's face trembled.

If she hadn't been sitting on a chair, she would have fallen to the ground with her weak legs.

She was scared to death. She frantically winked at her man, but her man couldn't understand it!

Simply driving her mad!

The only thing left to do now was to brave it!

Otherwise, if she pass this village, she would miss the store. If she don't speak out now, she will never have the opportunity to talk about it in the future!

"Mom..." This 'Mom' trembled so much that everyone could hear it.

"Mom, I don't want to oppose you buying a house for Da Qiao. However, it wasn't just Da Qiao who went. Dong He and Dong Ying were there too."

Her eyes suddenly fell on Qiao Hong Xia: "That's right. Hong Xia's Little Yi Ming also went. I heard that he entered that forest in order to chase a butterfly. Everyone benefited due to him, no?"

Wan Chun Ju knew that it was impossible to stop her mother-in-law from buying a house for Da Qiao, so she wanted to muddy the water now.

If she was to be rewarded, then everyone should be rewarded together. Can’t favor one over the other!

Qiao Hong Xia glanced at her and chilly spoke: "Mom, Little Yi Ming doesn't understand anything. Don't need to give him anything! Besides, he was chasing the butterfly to give his Elder Sister Nian Nian. So I agree with Mom's words. Everyone benefited due to Da Qiao!"

Anyone who wasn't stupid can see Wan Chun Ju's little thoughts.

She won't "team up" with her!

She still remembered the despair when the doctor deemed Little Yi Ming unsavable. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that the sky was torn apart. But after Da Qiao arrived, the child miraculously recovered.

She didn't know if Da Qiao played any role in it. In short, she believed that Da Qiao brought good luck to Little Yi Ming!

If she had the ability, she would be happy to let buy a house for Da Qiao herself!

Hearing Qiao Hong Xxia's words, Wan Chun Ju almost vomited blood!

What the hell was going on with Qiao Family. Each and every one acted like money was dung. Making her look so vulgar!

So vexing!

After some struggle, she finally turned to little bum Chen Qiao Qiao: "Fifth Sister-in-law, don't you want to say a few words?"

"Eldest Sister-in-law, I don't have any objection. I will listen to Mom."

Chen Qiao Qiao felt uncomfortable when she heard that her mother-in-law say she was going to buy a house for Da Qiao.

But then Mother-in-law was willing to buy a house in the town in order to let her man become a permanent employee. What else could she complain about?

She was more anxious about asking her man why he doesn't want to work in the supply and demand cooperative. Why didn't he tell her about it last night?

Wan Chun Ju was so angry that a mouthful of blood was stuck in her chest: "..."

Qiao Xiu Zhi looked at Wan Chun Ju: "You said that Dong He and Dong Ying also went to the forest that day. I asked them both, and they said that they had looked around. They didn't find notice any century-old Ganoderma lucidum. If it wasn't for Da Qiao, this Ganoderma lucidum will never reach our Qiao Family's. So what are you dissatisfied with now?"

Wan Chun Ju: …

She had a lot of dissatisfaction, but was what she say effective?

"Since everyone has no objection, then this matter is decided." Qiao Xiu Zhi slammed the hammer, "People's hearts are originally biased. I dare not say that I'm absolutely fair. But as long as you don't do Qiao Family wrong, I will absolutely not treat anyone badly!"

Was there absolute fair in this world?

No!

So Qiao Xiu Zhi never said that she was a fair person. She would never be as biased as Fang Xiao Juan and let herself be fooled.

Qiao Zhen Guo smiled naively: "Mom, whatever you say is whatever goes. We'll all listen to you."

The rest also expressed they had no objection.

Neither daughter-in-law uttered a sound. Still, everyone could tell that Wan Chun Ju was very displeased.

Of course, this didn't include Qiao Zhen Guo.

Qiao Zhen Guo went out humming a tune: "Bright sky above the liberated zone, the people there love it..."


Wan Chun Ju: "..."

They were already at a disadvantage and he had the mood to sing. Sing what bloody songs!

Once back in the room, Wan Chun Ju exploded: "Zhen Guo, I know you listen to your mom. But can't you think about your wife and children for once?"

Qiao Zhen Guo was befuddled again: "Wife, what's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong with me!" Wan Chun Ju picked up the pillow and slammed it on the bed, "Mom wants to buy a house for Da Qiao in the town. While An Ping, Qiao Family's only grandson doesn't even get a fart? This is fair?"


Qiao Zhen Guo nodded: "It's fair. Ganoderma lucidum wasn't dug by An Ping!"

Wan Chun Ju almost didn't couldn't catch her breath. She was pissed off to death: "Okay. An Ping didn't go. What about Dong Ying and Dong He? Even if the two sisters didn't find Ganoderma lucidum, they had dug it out. There's still effort, even if there's no credit. Now they got nothing. Mom said that she isn't biased. Her heart is obviously leaned all the way to the armpit!"

Qiao Zhen Guo: "Wife, Mom said just now that she is an biased person."

Wan Chun Ju: "..."

Infuriating!

She doubted whether she would be able to live until her grandson was born if she kept getting angered!

Taking a deep breath, she said what she wanted to say the most in her heart: "Zhen Guo, Wang Family is so wealthy and had already split up. Wouldn't it be better if we split up as well?"

Qiao Zhen Guo finally properly looked at his wife: "Wife, you want to split off?"

Wan Chun Ju felt guilty under his stare. Still, she bravely nodded: "I want! Currently, the family living together like this is too noisy. Besides, the trees split off branches when big. Wouldn't it be better for everyone to live apart earlier?"

Currently Qiao Family was simply messed up!

Old Second Qiao had obviously separated out, but now he ate three meals a day at Qiao's old house. This was no different from not being separated out!

The key point was that he was paralyzed. Most likely this burden will fall on their first branch in the future!

Qiao Hong Xia, a divorced daughter, was also at home every day. So annoying!

It was humiliating enough to have one divorced person in the family. Now there were two in Qiao family!

Every time she went out, she had to be asked about the siblings' divorce. Simply embarrassing to death!

Also, if there was no separation, the things in in-law's hands will be poached by Da Qiao sooner or later!

She was so cunning at a young age. Why didn't she see it before?

Qiao Zhen Guo sighed and said, "Alright. Since you want to go out, I'll go tell Mom."

The surprise came too quickly like a tornado.

Wan Chun Ju couldn't believe her ears!

Her man was finally enlightened!

Aiya, she finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

Wan Chun Ju suddenly felt her nose sour a little.

Qiao Zhen Guo walked out while muttering: "I originally wanted to wait for An Ping to marry his wife, and then separate you out alone. I didn't expect you to have awareness. Now you want to separate out alone."

Wan Chun Ju: "..."

It can't be that she said so much in vain?

No, it wasn't in vain. It gave her a man an excuse to separate her out like old woman Yao!

Pissing her off!

"Qiao Zhen Guo, come back here. If you dare to tell your mother today, I... I will die for you to see!"

Wan Chun Ju couldn't take it anymore. She laid down on the bed and started sobbing.

Qiao Zhen Guo obediently came back: "Wife, I lied to you just now. I won't tell my mother."

Wan Chun Ju stopped crying, sat up and looked at him with red eyes: "You...you really don't plan to go?"

Why was this person so unfamiliar?

He knew to use a devious and cunning way to make her afraid first. This was not like her man!

Qiao Zhen Guo smiled and responded: "That's right. If I want to bring it up, have to wait until you given birth to the baby first. If you want to separate out alone, you can't take the child away."

Wan Chun Ju: "..."

Familiar taste, familiar recipe.

He's still the man who was infuriating as hell!

"Qiao Zhen Guo, I don't want to talk to you. Get out now!"

...

Trouble was also brewing in Fang's house at the moment.

"Ouch, my poor daughter, why did you die? Why are you so cruel? To let me, a white-haired mother, send a black-haired person!"

"My God, my daughter was a flower when she married into Fang's house. Now she was destroyed to such a degree. Now she's not even 30 years old and she's dead. My daughter, you died so wrongly! "

Old Madam Cai was sitting at the door of Fang's courtyard, clapping her thighs as she wailed. Her voice was so loud that she could flip off the ceiling!

"Who are these people? Are they Fan Fu Gui's wife's maternal family?"

"It is her maternal family. Their daughter was tortured to death. What would it look like if they didn't come? The one sitting on the ground crying is Fang Fu Gui's mother-in-law!"

"That's right! If my daughter is abused like this, I'll kill their whole family! If it's up to me, don't waste words if you can fight. Hurry up and fight!"

"Che, do you really think Cai Family is here to fight justice for their daughter? So naive! They just want to take the opportunity to make a fortune from Fang Family!"

If someone really cared about their daughter, would they marry their daughter to Fang Family?

It was heard that Fang Fu Gui's wife sobbingly refused to marry. However, Fang Family gave a high wedding gift and her family forced her to marry.

Later, she experienced domestic violence a few times and ran back to her maternal home. Her maternal family never supported her. Instead, they told her to bear with it. Didn't all women live like this?

So what maternal family? Just a bunch of beasts!

When everyone heard this, they didn't have any good attitude toward Cai Family.

Cai Family didn't care. They made up their minds today that Fang Family must compensate money, otherwise they won't leave!

Old woman Fang leaned on crutches and walked in front of old Madam Cai. She spat in her face with a 'pah': "Married a short-lived ghost with a two-hundred-yuan wedding gift. You still have the face to come? You should smirk that we didn't ask you for the wedding gift back!"

Old Madam Cai wiped her face with her hands, jumped up, and spat out a mouthful of saliva on old woman Fang's face, "Old witch, no one was willing to marry your son within a radius of ten miles. My daughter's bum is excellent. What's wrong with asking for two hundred? If we knew earlier that you treat her like this, we shouldn't have asked for so little in the first place!"

Old woman Fang spat back: "I tell you, our in-law family is the production leader. Wang Family's old Third is a high-ranking official in the army. You'd better scram now, or I'll let you look good!"

Old Madam Cai spat back and uttered, "Who are you scaring? As if Wang Family would like your broken shoe daughter?"

When the two argued, they spat at each other's face. At first, the two of them would wipe it with their hands. Later, they didn't bother to wipe it at all.

Everyone: "..."

Everyone was so disgusted that they wanted to vomit out the lunch they ate!

Someone went to fetch the production team leader, but the production team leader said that this was Fang Family's family matter.

Everyone knew that Wang Shui Sheng didn't want to be involved with Fang Family.

Old woman Fang had kept taking Wang Family out to threaten Cai Family, but now her face was slapped swollen!

"Hahaha, you keep talking about your in-laws. Why won't your in-laws come to help you?" Old Madam Cai vividly interpreted the words 'smug villain'.

Think they got no brain? They had already figured out the situation before they came!

Surprisingly at the end of the fight, it was Xiao Qiao who suffered!

Cai Family asked for money, but Fang Family refused to give it. Cai Family’s sons sent all their four family's elderly to live in Fang Family.

Each day Fang Family doesn't give money, the four elderly won't leave for a day!

No matter how arrogant Fang Fu Gui was, he didn't dare to kill someone. Otherwise he will be shot.

Old woman Fang was so angry that her chest hurt. But she didn't want to bow her head, so she sent her two precious grandson to Fang Xiao Juan and asked her to take care of them.

Fang Xiao Juan wanted to nurture her pregnancy. It was Xiao Qiao who did the work at home. Now there were two more people.

Xiao Qiao exploded on the spot!

...

Xiao Qiao was so mad that she vomited blood. However, Da Qiao was extremely delighted. Because she found out that she GREW TALLER!

The weather was getting warmer day by day. The new clothes her grandmother wanted to make for her hadn't been finished yet. So she can only pull out last year's clothes.

When she changed into last year's clothes, she realized that it was so much shorter!

She was madly overjoyed.

She had always been half a head shorter than her peers. Every New Year, everyone will laugh at her. Saying that she can wear one piece of clothes for several years without having to make new ones.

There were also some very naughty children. When they see her, they either name-call her little stutterer or dwarf melon. She felt down every time.

Now she didn't stutter. What's more, she had grown taller!

After wearing her clothes, she headed to Qiao's old house with a "thump thump thump".

Qiao Dong Ying saw her coming in wearing old clothes and exaggerated: "Qiao Family's little Cutie, why are you wear your baby clothes?"

Da Qiao raised her head, showing a sweet smile and softly replied: "Elder Sister Ying, look. The sleeves are too short!"

Qiao Dong Ying's mind turned fast and immediately understood what she wanted to say. She responded in cooperation, "Oh, that's amazing. The sleeves became so short. Little Cutie has grown taller?"

Da Qiao's face was flushed and her eyes were black and bright. She nodded with puffed out chest, "En, little Cutie has grown taller!"

Qiao Dong Ying teased: "Since you've grown up, you can't be called little Cutie."

Da Qiao thought about it for a while, pursed her red mouth, and said in a glutinous voice, "En, then I will be Big Cuite in the future!"

Qiao Dong Ying: "..."

She seem...to underestimate the thickness of this little younger cousin sister's skin.

"Pfft..."

Qiao Dong He was amused by the conversation between the two. Younger Sister Da Qiao was so adorable and cute!

She stepped forward and took Da Qiao's hand, "The new clothes aren't ready so soon. You can't wear these clothes. Come in with me. I'll find some clothes for you to wear."

"Thank you, Elder Sister Dong He. You are the best and most beautiful elder cousin sister in the world!" Da Qiao's rainbow-licking was thrown out like it was free.

Behind, Qiao Dong Ying's teeth felt sour when she heard it: "Your Elder Sister Dong He is the best and most beautiful. What about me?"

Da Qiao's eyes spun and she sweetly answered, "Elder Sister Ying is the most awesome!"

Qiao Dong Ying snorted twice. Obviously felt her rainbow-licking wasn't sincere enough.

Qiao Dong He picked out the clothes that both her and her younger sister couldn't wear and weren't too shabby. Da Qiao didn't dislike it. But rather, she was extremely happy.

She couldn't wear so many clothes. It was a sweet worry.

After playing in her Elder Cousin Sister's room for a long time, the few came out of the room. They happened to bump into her fifth uncle's family.

She saw that her Fifth Uncle was carrying a few bags and bundles, while her Fifth Aunt was standing behind him holding little Wan'er. It seem like they were going on a trip.

The few girls greeted them.

Qiao Dong Ying asked, "Fifth Uncle, are you taking little Wan'er to the provincial hospital?"

Qiao Zhen Min nodded: "We're going to the town today to stay for one night. Then we'll catch a ride to the provincial capital tomorrow. All of you listen to your grandmother at home. Don't be naughty, understand?"

"Understand." Qiao Dong Ying and Qiao Dong He replied in unison.

Qiao Dong He went up to greet little Wan'er, but the other party was the same as before. She didn't give her any response at all.

Only Da Qiao frowned tightly.

Seeing her like this, Qiao Zhen Min specially asked, "What's wrong, Da Qiao? You frown like you're an old lady."

Da Qiao pursed her lips and said, "Fifth Uncle, are you going on a trip? Can you not go?"
Qiao Zhen Min was stunned for a moment. Thinking that she was a child who was reluctant to part with her family. So he smilingly coaxed, "Fifth Uncle is taking your younger sister to see the doctor. If it goes well, we'll be back soon."
Da Qiao persisted on the same thing again: "Fifth Uncle, can you not go, okay?"
Qiao Zhen Min frowned, wondering why this child was suddenly so insensible?

At this moment, his mom came over: "Da Qiao, why did you tell your fifth uncle not to go?"

Da Qiao shook her head. Her little face flushed red.

She couldn't explain it clearly. She just didn't want Fifth Uncle and the others to leave.

Qiao Xiu Zhi looked up at her youngest son and spoke, "Old Fifth, how about going on another day."

"Mom! Little Wan'er can't be delayed. Besides, I still have things to do later and won't have time at all!"

Qiao Zhen Min knew that Da Qiao was his mom's favorite. But he never expected his mom to become so unprincipled!

Qiao Xiu Zhi remembered the weird things that happened to Da Qiao and stated with a solemn face: "Old Fifth, Mom knows that you have always been very independent. But this time, listen to Mom and go at another time!"

It wasn't that Qiao Zhen Min didn't want to listen to his mom. Just because a child's reluctance, he must disrupt his plans. He really can't understand!

Qiao Zhen Min left in the end.

Da Qiao watched her fifth uncle's family's departing back and her eyes suddenly sour. Two lines of tears fell.

Two days after Qiao Zhen Min departure, the school finally opened.

At the same time, the production team also welcomed a new batch of educated youth.

In order to befriend Qiao Family, Wang Shui Sheng asked Qiao Zhen Guo to join him to pick up the educated youth.
