Chapter 89


Shen's house.

Da Qiao and Shen Tian You played house for a while before playing hide-and-seek. Qin Xiao Mei answered the phone and was about to leave. She told them not to go out. Shen Tian You couldn't sit still anymore.

Shen Tian You's eyes spun around: "Elder Sister Da Qiao, let's go out and play!"

Auntie Lan, the family helper, went out to buy vegetables. At this moment, there was only old Mister Shen who was dozing in the house. Shen Tian You felt that this was the best time to escape.

Da Qiao shook her head and said disapprovingly: "Godmother told us not to go out. You have to be obedient, understand?"

Shen Tian You's temper flared up: "I'm not obedient. I'm suffocating at home every day. I'm going out now! You're accompanying me or not?"

Da Qiao shook her head again: "I'm not going. I'm an obedient little cutie."

Wishing iron could be steel, Shen Tian You stared at her. He turned and rushed out like a firecracker: "Since you're not going with me, I'll go alone!"

"Younger Brother Tian You, come back!" Da Qiao anxiously stomped her feet.

But the more she called, the faster Shen Tian You ran. From time to time he looked back to see if Da Qiao was catching up. When he saw Da Qiao catching up, he ran more and more frantically.

"Elder Sister Da Qiao, come and chase me!"

Da Qiao chased as thought about how she'll kick his butt when she catch up to this stinky boy!

Although Shen Tian You was chubby, this didn't prevent him from becoming a nimble little chubby man. It took Da Qiao twenty minutes to catch up with him.

The two stopped and panted. The looked left and right. Horrified, they discover...they were lost!

Just now, in order not to let Da Qiao catch him, Shen Tian You bolted at the sight of a road. Now he stopped to realize that he had never been to this place.

Although Shen Tian You had been living in the town since he was born, Shen Family never let him go out to play alone as he was the only child of Shen Family. Most of the time he went out by car. So he didn't know where they were there.

While Da Qiao focused on chasing. She didn't recognize the way. Plus she only came to the town a few times. The places she knew was very limited.

The two stared at each other. They were a little confused.

Shen Tian You wriggled his chubby little body. Leaning over, he said with a guilty conscience, "Elder Sister Da Qiao, what should we do now?"

Da Qiao glared at him with black grape-like eyes and reprimanded, "Told you not to come out and insist on coming out. When Godmother return and can't find us, she will definitely be very anxious. You are truly disobedient!"

Shen Tian You's chubby cheeks were hot and flushed. He poked his fingers together and weakly responded, "Elder Sister Da Qiao, I know I'm wrong. If Mom and Dad beat me when we get back, can you protect me?"

In Shen Family, old Mister Shen and old Madam Shen doted on the child , while Shen Shi Kai and Qin Xiao Mei, often played the bad cops. They were very strict with Shen Tian You. If he do something wrong, he will definitely be taught a lesson. In severe cases, he'll get the cane!

Shen Tian You felt that his mistake was a bit serious this time. He feared that his butt would be hit when he got back. So he sought shelter from Da Qiao in advance.

Da Qiao straightened her small face: "No. Not only Godfather and Godmother want to beat you, I also want to beat you!"

Without waiting to go back, she turned Shen Tian You over and slapped his fleshy butt a few times.

Shen Tian You's chubby face was so red that it seem like it almost drip blood: "Elder Sister Da Qiao, why are you spanking my butt!"

Da Qiao harrumphed: "Since you disobedient, you get beaten. From now on, you must listen to me, or I will beat you!"

Shen Tian You was teary-eyed: He finally understood why Elder Brother An Ping would say that Elder Sister Da Qiao is so scary. He felt that way now.

Da Qiao took Shen Tian You's little fleshy hand to find someone to ask for directions. But this side was a bit remote. After walking for a while, they saw a woman.

Da Qiao quickly ran over with Shen Tian You and politely said, "Auntie, may I ask you if you know..."

The woman might have been in a hurry. She dismissively spoke to them, "I don't know. I don't know. Go and ask others."

After speaking, the woman hurried away.

Da Qiao and Shen Tian You had no choice but to keep walking forward. After unknown amount of time of walking, they finally saw another person.

This time, it was a young man in his twenties. His head was like a chicken coop, looking like a completely slacker. His pair of eyes creepily eyed on them: "I don't know the place you are talking about. Why don't you go home with me first... I'll take you to find your family when I'm free, okay?"

Da Qiao looked at the young man in front of her. Suddenly what her grandparents said to her, she felt something was wrong.

She shook her head and replied, "No need. Thank you Uncle. We'll ask others."

After finishing speaking, she pulled Shen Tian You to leave.

But they were stopped by the young man: "Since you are here, don't think about leaving!"

He reached out to grab Da Qiao and Shen Tian You. But when he reached out, Da Qiao kicked him hard on his calf.

As her body got healthier, Da Qiao's strength became stronger. Although it wasn't comparable to her grandmother, the strength wasn't something a seven-year-old girl could have.

Receiving a kick on the calf, the young man was so in pain that tears came down: "Damn it! Don't run!"

If one didn't run at this time, then they were fools!

Da Qiao dragged Shen Tian You and frantically bolted forward.

Although Shen Tian You was a little stunned at first, but once he regained his wits, he exerted a potential that a little chubby shouldn't have.

The young man's calf painfully ached from the kick. He couldn't run fast. What he didn't expect was that the two little kids could run so fast. With one corner, they soon disappeared.

"Damn, don't let me see you again, or I'll kill you!" The young man spat on the ground and walked away cursing.

After he left for a long time, Da Qiao pulled Shen Tian You out of a dog hole.

Both of them looked a little embarrassing. Their faces and clothes were dirty. They were afraid of meeting the young man again, so they had to went in the opposite direction.

The opposite direction became more and more deviated. Looking at that direction, it seemed to be the road leading to the countryside. Both of them realized that something was wrong. So they had to go back the same way.

When they reached the starting spot, they encountered that young man again!

This time, the young man was pushing an old man: "You damn old man, hand over all the money. Your bloodline is at a dead-end. Why are you still keeping so much money? To take to the coffin?"

The old man was so furious that his face turned red and white. He held the envelope tightly and didn't let go: "You...you b*stard, you will have retribution! Be careful when the thunder strikes you to death!"

The young man grinned: "If there is really retribution, how can I still live well? It's my poor elder cousin brother who died at a young age. Could it be that he was struck to death by lightning?"

Seeing him say this about his son, the old man was so mad that he almost didn't catch his breath.

The young man took the opportunity to push him and snatched the envelope in his hand at the same time. Smirking, he said, "When you die, won't all your money and house belong to me? I'm just using it in advance!"

The old man fell to the ground. His face pale with anger. His fingers trembling pointed at him: "You...you...give me the money...give it back..."

He just took out the money from the post office and planned to go to the black market tomorrow to buy some nutritious food for his wife.

The old woman had been getting worse and worse since her son died of illness. He was very anxious. Unexpectedly, he met this wicked b*stard halfway back!

Da Qiao pursed her mouth tightly in anger. She turned back to Shen Tian You and spoke, "I'm going to sort that bastard. Are you afraid?"

Shen Tian You looked at Elder Sister Da Qiao and shook his head, "Not afraid!"

Da Qiao patted his shoulder heavily and said, "Okay. I'll lead that person to chase after me in a while. You hide at the corner. When he comes over, immediately hit him on the leg with a stick. Understand?"

Shen Tian You took a deep breath and replied, "Understood. Elder Sister Da Qiao, you have to be careful though. Or should I lead him?"

Da Qiao shook her head: "No. He can't catch me!"

There happened to be a broken table in the garbage dump not far away. Da Qiao walked over, broke off the legs of the table with her bare hands, and handed it over to Shen Tian You: "You must use force. If you can't hit him, run away immediately. Don't get caught by him!"

Shen Tian You's fiercely pounded. His little head nodded: "I know. I won't let him catch me!"

Da Qiao didn't delay any longer. She picked up a large stone on the ground and dashed after the young man.

The young man heard footsteps chasing after him and turned his head. It can said to perfect.. unlucky timing, a stone was hurled toward his forehead!

#BANG!

His felt a severe burst of pain. Warm blood immediately rushed out.

The young man reached out and touched it. Blood smeared on his hand. When he saw that the person who smashed him was actually the little girl just now. He gritted his teeth and declared, "Damn girl, I will kill you!"

Da Qiao didn't say much; just turned around and ran.

Furious, the young man chased after her without another word. If he didn't kill this dead girl today, he wouldn't be surnamed Wei!

Da Qiao's feet were like gone like the wind. But no matter how fast she was, she was still a child. She was almost caught a few times. Fortunately, the young man had be hit and his head was a little dizzy. After running for a while, his speed slowed down.

Coming to the corner where Shen Tian You was hiding, Da Qiao turned around her head and said to Shen Tian You as she ran, "Three, two, one!"

With the countdown finished, Shen Tian You swung the wooden stick out and hit the young man's calf.

The young man's calf was injured earlier. Now it was injured again. The pain caused his facial features to twitch. He stumbled and fell to the ground with a #bang.

Da Qiao ran back, took the wooden stick in Shen Tian You's hand and fiercely greeted the back of his head!

The young man never imagined that he would fall into the hands of two little brats today!

...

Qin Xiao Mei came home and found that the two children weren't at home. She woke her father-in-law, but the other party didn't know anything.

Her heart was pounding. She searched the whole house. Even the neighbors were asked. They all said that she had never seen the two children. She could only hope that the children went out to buy vegetables with Auntie Lan.

But when Aunt Lan came back and said that the two children hadn't gone out with her. Her vision darkened and she almost fainted!

Old Mister Shen felt even more guilt-stricken. He shouldn't have gone to the room to rest because of a headache!

Old Madam Shen brought her daughter back from visiting the relative's house. Knowing that her grandson and Da Qiao were gone, her breath almost stopped on the spot and passed away!

She cried and beat old Mister Shen: "You damn old man, why didn't you keep an eye on Tian You?"

Qin Xiao Mei called her husband with trembling hands and asked him if he had gone home to take the two children out. When she heard the other party say no, she instantly collapse on the sofa.

On such blazing hot days, she was frightened into a cold sweat.

Once Shen Shi Kai knew that the two children were missing, he quickly told Qiao Xiu Zhi couple and drove them back.

Then everyone searched around. After a long search, there was no news of the children at all.

Qiao Xiu Zhi thought of the incident where little Wan'er was kidnapped. Her heart sank. She knew that she shouldn't have brought Da Qiao to town today.

Thinking that the child might be abducted, she was heartbroken.

Xue Chuan lost the smile on his face. He stretched out his hand to hold his wife's hand, "Don't worry. That child is a lucky one. She will be fine."

Thinking of the strange things that happened to Da Qiao, Qiao Xiu Zhi felt a little confidence in her heart and nodded. "I know. You shouldn't worry either. Let's go out and look for them. Maybe the children ran out to play and got lost somewhere."

Old Madam Shen and old Mister Shen couldn't stand the blow. Both had collapsed.

Old Madam Shen grabbed her son's hand and cried with tears: "Shi Kai, no matter what, you must bring them back!"

Shen Shi Kai comforted his mom, "Don't scare yourself. I'll go back to the police station now and get my colleagues to help look everywhere. It will be all fine!"

Just when everyone was about to split up, the phone in the living room suddenly rang.

Qin Xiao Mei was lying on the sofa. However, she didn't have the strength to answer the phone. So Shen Lin Lin had to run over and pick up the phone to answer.

Soon, her expression shone with brilliance: "You mean my nephew Shen Tian You, and a little girl named Da Qiao are all at the police station now?"

When everyone heard this, they gathered around and stared at the phone in Shen Lin Lin's hand.

Old Madam Shen was no longer dizzy. She pushed her son away and rushed into the living room in a fast pace: "Lin Lin, what did you say? I heard you say Tian You has been found. Where is he?"

Shen Lin Lin hung up the phone, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and replied, "They are at the police station now. According to the police officer, the two of them had knocked down a hooligan!"

Hooligan!

When everyone heard this word, their hearts rose again.

It was just that Shen Lin Lin didn't know what happened. Hurrying up to the police station became top priority. Only when they made sure the two children were safe can their hearts truly settle down.

So Shen Family hopped into the car and Qiao Xiu Zhi and Xue Chuan rode their bicycle to the police station.

Shen Family arrived at the police station first. When they saw the two dirty children, everyone was delighted and shocked.

Old Madam Shen ran over, hugged her grandson, and touched his face up and down. Once she confirmed that he was all right, she cried: "You brat, you scared Grandmother to death!"

Seeing that her son was fine, Qin Xiao Mei went to check on Da Qiao. Seeing that she was also fine, she breathed a sigh of relief: "What's happened to the two of you?"

Shen Tian You shrank in his grandmother's arms with a guilty conscience; not daring to answer his mom.

Da Qiao had no choice but to recount what happened.

Everyone was terrified when they heard it. These two little things were too daring!

Qin Xiao Mei was afraid after hearing it. She pulled her son out of her mother-in-law's arms and beat his butt twice: "Who told ou do something bad! Not only did you almost hurt yourself, but you also almost implicated your elder sister Da Qiao. Do you know your mistake?"

Shen Tian You let his throat go all out and howled: "Ahhh... Mom, forgive me. I know I was wrong! Grandmother, Grandfather, save your precious grandson. My butt hurts!"

Qin Xiao Mei was so angry: "You still pretend!"

Saying that, she smacked him hard a few times.

Old Madam Shen was so distressed that she hurried over to pull her precious grandson over and tightly protected him, "Alright, alright. just hit a few times. Tian You already knows his wrong!"

Qin Xiao Mei helplessly uttered: "Mom, you can't indulge him like this. If we don't teach him a lesson, he won't know to be afraid. Maybe he will dare to do it again next time!"

Shen Tian You hurriedly stated: "Mom, I really know I'm wrong. And I'm not pretending. My butt really hurts!"

He was beaten a few times by Elder Sister Da Qiao earlier. His butt still hurt. Now his mom's strike was also ruthless. No matter how much flesh his ass had, it was useless!

Da Qiao hurriedly spoke: "Godmother, God-grandmother, I'm sorry. I already spanked Younger Brother Tian You to teach him a lesson earlier. Younger Brother Tian You should really hurt."

Hearing Da Qiao's words, Qin Xiao Mei and the others became more convinced that Shen Tian You was pretending. Da Qiao was only a seven-year-old child. How strong could her be. It was like a tickle.

Shen Tian You was close to tears. Elder Sister Da Qiao's strikes were heavier than his mom's. He was truly in pain.

At this moment, Qiao Xiu Zhi and Xue Chuan arrived.

Seeing Grandmother and Grandfather, Da Qiao rushed over and hugged her grandmother's neck: "Grandmother, Grandfather, I'm sorry. I made you worry!"

Godmother was beating as she detailed how everyone was anxiously finding the two of them. She felt very guilty.

Qiao Xiu Zhi checked her over. Seeing that she wasn't injured, she felt relieved. Then they listened to Qin Xiao Mei telling them what happened.

She reached out and rubbed the child's hair: "If you encounter such a thing in the future, you must not be reckless. This time, you're lucky since there's no mishap. But you can't be lucky all your life. When you encounter this kind of thing in the future, remember to find an adult. Understand?"

Da Qiao nodded and obediently responded, "I understand, Grandmother. I won't do anything that worries you in the future."

Wei Bao Sheng came over after recording his statement. He bowed to Qiao and Chen Family and thanked them: "I really owe it to the two children today. Otherwise I definitely won't be able to get the money back today!"

The young man who robbed him of his money was his distant nephew Wei Jia Yang. The other party was an idler, who didn't have any proper career all day. His eyes were only fixed on the wealth of the two old elderly.

Before, he asked for some money from him from time to time. Considering how he and his wife would need someone go to visit their grave and their son's after they passed, so he endured it before.

He never though that Wei Jia Yang would become more and more greedy because of his tolerance and even dared to rob him of money in the street. The reason why he dared to do this was because he knew he wouldn't call the police!

When he was pushed down, he thought it through. Even if no one sweep their grave, he could no longer condone this beast!

Wei Bao Sheng wanted to use money to thank the two children, but was rejected by Qiao and Chen Family.

This was a pitiful old man. His only son died of illness. It was enough that they were alone with no one to depend on. Now they were bullied by his distant nephew!

His injury wasn't light from today's push. He sprained his waist. It was estimated that he'll have to rest for a good few days. Shen Shi Kai felt him pitiful and gave him an ride back.

When they came to Wei's house, Wei Bao Sheng thanked them again.

Sharp-eye Qin Xiao Mei noticed a sign for sale hanging on the house next to his house and asked, "Whose house is that? Is it for sale?"

Wei Bao Sheng glanced over and sighed, "The house is mine. We two old undying can't live in such a big place, so we want to sell the house. Our wallet can also be wider."

The house was originally intended for his son to live in after marry a wife. Who knew that his son would die of illness before he could marry a wife. He wanted to sell the house long ago, but his wife was unwilling.

Until recently, they were running out of money and had no choice but to sell the house.

Qin Xiao Mei spoke: "Please take down the sign. We will come to see tomorrow. You meet Qiao Family just now. They have been searching for a house. If it is suitable, they would probably buy it."

When Wei Bao Sheng heard that Qiao family wanted to buy a house, he had already made a decision. He affirmatively nodded: "Okay, I'll take off the sign later."

It wasn't that no one wanted to buy this house. They didn't want to casually sell it.

The two of them were old and had no children. Naturally, they hoped to have good neighbors. It would be best to have someone like Qiao Family as neighbors!

After Qin Xiao Mei went back, she immediately told Qiao Xiu Zhi about the house.

Qiao Xiu Zhi originally planned to return to the production team. Because of the house issue, they had to stay overnight at Shen's house and go to see the house tomorrow. If they were satisfied, they would buy the house.

The next day, they went to see the house. Because this house was originally planned by Wei Family as a wedding house for their son, the house was beautiful.

Although the location was a little out of the way, this location was relatively close to the food factory. If they buy it, Qiao Zhen Jun can live there occasionally in the future. So after consideration, Qiao Family planned to buy it.

Wei Bao Sheng originally planned to sell the house for 1,200 yuan. Due to being grateful to Da Qiao for saving him yesterday, he only wanted 800 yuan.

800 yuan to buy three bedroom and a small yard in the town was too good-value. Even Shen Family had to sigh about Qiao Family's good luck.

Qiao Xiu Zhi told Wei Family they'll come over in two days for money payment and transfer of the house. Then they said goodbye to Shen Family and returned to the production team.

...

Back at Qiao's house.

After everyone in Qiao Family knew what had happened, they would sigh in shock from time to time while listening to it like a story.

Qiao Zhen Min raised his eyebrows and spoke, "Mom, so Hong Mei isn't my elder sister anymore?"

Qiao Xiu Zhi nodded: "Yes. We have cut off our relationship with her. If she comes back in the future, you can directly drive her out!"

If it wasn't for Hong Mei's character, she would definitely not be so unfeeling when taking how long they had raised her into consideration. She could only blame herself!

Qiao Zhen Min jollily commented, "That's great! I used to wonder why she had such a personality. It turns out that she's not from our Qiao Family at all!"

Afraid that Qiao Xiu Zhi and Xue Chuan would be sad, no one mentioned the child who had been swapped out.

Everyone can only hope that the heaven will open its eyes and let them meet one day.

Qiao Zhen Guo didn't care if Hong Mei was his younger sister. As soon as his parents came back, he immediately wiped the bicycle carefully with a cloth like serving his ancestors.

Qiao Zhen Guo had no other talents. However, he can learn to ride very quickly. He grasped it in less than three days.

Wan Chun Ju immediately asked her man to drive her around the production team.

People were really envious!

Wan Chun Ju sat on the back frame of the bicycle and smugly laughed. Who knew that the next moment would sorrow birthed emerged from joy.

She laughed so hard that she dislocated her jaw!

ESWHYMY 37

Chapter 37. Dragon Raising Head Day (part2)


In the other delivery room, Wan Niang, who was still waiting for the opening of the cervix, naturally heard the movement outside. Mrs. Chen was sent in to help out. Her smile was filled with ridicule: "I say, Wan Niang, you have to live up to expectations! This Mrs. Su gave birth to another money-wasting thing. If you can get a boy in one go, then the second branch will be…”

It can be said that Mrs. Chen's unfinished meaning was very clear. As long as she can give birth to a son, won't she be in charge of the entire second branch? Thinking of this, Wan Niang's heart aroused a burst of fighting spirit. She must give birth to a big healthy boy!

The sun was gradually setting west. Another baby from Mrs. Su's belly came to the world with a faint cry. Mrs. Lin was holding the blood-covered baby when her hands trembled slightly: "You Jin's mother, it, it's a handle. A son..."

The originally drained and semi-conscious Mrs. Su heard that it was a son and instantly opened her bright eyes: "Auntie Lin, you said it's a son?"
Disbelief, she trembling lifted the cloth that wrapped the already tidied-up little baby with a very thin body. Then she wept with joy: "My son!"

"You Jin's mother, this is wonderful!" Mrs. Lin's eyes were also slightly moist. Mrs. Su was married into the village for more than ten years. Although she didn't have much interaction with herself, she had heard of her good reputation. Finally, she got what she wanted. It can be regarded as a good person getting their good reward.

After comforting Mrs. Su a bit, Mrs. Lin came out with a beam to announce the good news to You Jin sisters: "Your mother gave birth to a younger brother for you!"

After hearing Mrs. Lin's words, the sisters were stunned. What? Mother gave birth to a younger brother? The sisters didn't return to their senses for a long time. You Jin was first to react and led the few younger sisters to kowtow to Mrs. Lin: "We have no way to repay back Granny Ma's great kindness!"
If it weren't for Mrs. Lin, one corpse and two lives would be possible as Yue Chang Lu wouldn't find Granny Wen to deliver Mrs. Su's birth.

Mrs. Lin smiled and helped You Jin up: "This child. What's with kneeling down at every turn. You want to cut off this old woman's lifespan? Now your mother is fine. However, the two babies have just been born. What's more, they're premature twins. They will be much thinner and weaker than normal. It is best to have enough breastmilk to feed."

You Jin carefully noted Mrs. Lin's words into her mind and gratefully sent Mrs. Lin away. Then she took the few younger sisters into the west wing to see the two newly born babies.

That end, Yue Chang Lu also heard the news about Mrs. Su giving birth to a son. #Thump!# He abruptly stood up: "I'm a father!"
He was over the moon. He had been waiting for a son for more than ten years. He finally got it! He didn't care what Yue Da Fu and old Mrs. Chen were saying and went straight to the west wing.

Old Mrs. Chen didn't expect Mrs. Su to actually give birth to a son. She spat on the ground with dissatisfaction and scolded: "So what if a son is born? There are many children who can't be raised!"

***

In the west wing, the sisters carefully surrounded the cleaned kang and curiously looking at the two babies lying side by side on the kang.

Yue Chang Lu was like a foreign enemy who had entered by mistake. As soon as he entered, he was stared at by his daughters with hostile eyes. He became a little displeased: "What? Can't I go back to my own room? Get out of the way!"

You Jin stood in front of him and coldly stated, "Isn't your son being born next door? If it wasn't for the help of Doctor Ma and Granny Ma, my mother and the two babies might be gone. Now all is good, you eagerly come over once you know a son is born?"

Hearing You Jin's words, Mrs. Su couldn't bear it in her heart: "You Jin, don't talk to your father like this..."
After all, he was also the babies' father. So it wasn't too much to have a look.

Pushed away, You Jin glanced at Mrs. Su Shi and wished for iron to be steel. In the end, she still didn't give up on Yue Chang Lu. She had beaten black and blue. Then giving a date was enough to coax her. Simply exasperating!

It when without saying Mrs. Su noticed her daughter's condemning gaze. She lowered her head in guilt. She didn't think she had done nothing wrong though. He was the father of two babies, no?

With no obstacle, Yue Chang Lu hugged his son with trembling hands. His eyes were red with joy. He wished the whole world could know that he was not someone who couldn't give birth to a son!

But after the ecstasy, reason gradually returned to the cage. Looking at his extremely thin and half-fist sized-head son, disdain emerged within Yue Chang Lu. Although he was a son, it was really a question of whether he could survive. Then he heard Wan Niang's painful cry from the other side of the wall. The doctor from the Rejuvenation Hall in the town said it was a son!

With this thought, he looked at the kitten-sized son with disgust, put him on the kang with disdain, turned around, and went out.

Within a moment, Yue Chang Lu's transformation was so great that the originally delighted Mrs. Su watched Yue Chang Lu's back in shock as he left. She didn't knowing whether to cry about her bitter life or laugh at her own stupidity.

You Jin couldn't help but sighed at her 'doubting-life' expression. Mrs. Su's delusional hope toward Yue Chang Lu was like a weed. It won't die no matter how many times it was burnt out. She was too lazy to say anything.

***

After a day and a night of tossing around, Wan Niang finally gave birth to a six-jin plump boy at dawn of the second day. Only after hearing that she had given birth to a son, Wan Niang, who was so weak in pain, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

After Granny Wen wrapped the washed baby in a thick cloth, Yue Chang Lu and old Mrs. Chen finally arrived.

Listening to Granny Wen's auspicious words, Yue Chang Lu's hands trembled slightly. His eyes filled with tears of excitement. He reached out to take his son who was wailing loudly: "My son, my son!"

Looking at the round-faced grandson, old Mrs. Chen showed a rare kind smile: "This kid is six jins at birth. He will definitely be a sturdy child in the future!"

Yue Chang Lu also nodded in agreement. He recalled Mrs. Su's son who weighed only two or three jins yesterday. Even his cry was sickly. Right there he made a decision. He kissed and nuzzled the fleshy face, wishing that he can hold his precious all the time.

The news that Yue Chang Lu had two sons at once spread quickly throughout Cuifeng Village. When it was time for Yue Wen Bao's third day wash, Yue Family invited more than half of the village. As if they were proud of old Second.

Yue Wen Bao was the name Yue Chang Lu had given to the child born to him and Wan Niang. As for Mrs. Su's pair of twin, not only were they not qualified to for third day wash, but even the name was given by You Jin. Everyone in Yue Family seemed to forgot about the existence of Mrs. Su and her children.

Listening to the bursts of merriment and laughter coming from the main room outside, You Jin held recently-fed You Duan in her arms and patted the child's bum to coax her to sleep. She asked Mrs. Su, "How is it? Mother, do you give up now? So what if there is Kang-er?" Kang-er's full name was Yue Kang. You Jin hoped that he can grow up healthy. So she picked the single word 'Kang'.

In Mrs. Su's arms, Kang-er was sucking breastmilk in small gulps. His weak body was barely got any flesh. He had no idea that he was originally the treasure that his father had longed for, but now completely forgotten about.

A sigh sounded. Mrs. Su found life sometimes very painful. She knew that her indecision had caused her children to follow her through the world's hardships. But what can she do? Even if she wants to separate, can Yue Family promise to let her go? Even if Yue Family agreed to let her go, what about her children? No matter what, they were still the descendants of Yue Family. Can Yue Family agree to let them go with her?

Though You Jin didn't know what was on Mrs. Su's mind, she noticed Mrs. Su's frown and knew that she was in a state of self-entanglement again. Sighing deeply, she watched thin as a cat little Tenth in her arms. You Jin secretly decided that if Mrs. Su couldn't make up her mind, she help her take this step for her.

***

Back to main room's side. Yue Chang Lu specially dressed up today. The gloomy air around him had long dissipated. Standing behind Yue Da Fu, it can said to be a prideful day for him.

Granny Wen jollily carried Yue Wen Bao out to meet the guests. Today, Yue Family's close acquaintances in the village came over. There was no feast for third day wash for country folks. The bowls just contained peanuts, dates, and the likes. Just for good luck.

"My, this child is really sturdy!" An old auntie who was close to old Mrs. Chen smilingly remarked: "Just a look, one can tell he's a good seedlings of Yue Family. Once he grows up, he is designated to be a strong younger generation!"

It wasn't old Mrs. Chen's first time being a grandmother. However, she had felt ashamed in past because old Second didn't have a son. Now that he finally got future bloodline, she can stand up tall: "Look at what you're saying? The child's life is still short, he can't handle the praise!"
Although it sounded reproachful, her face was still full of beams.

Though some women who were at odds with Yue Family, in particularly with old Mrs. Chen, had smile on their faces, they still slandered: "This Yue Family is really shameless. How can ordinary family marry two wives? Yue Family happened to ability. After doing such shameless thing, they can still have their tail high and preached it everywhere!"

At the lower end of the west wing, Wan Niang couldn't see guests. A few curious women came to look at her. Wan Niang sat on the kang and merrily chatted to them. She was exceedingly satisfied. Who dares to criticize her now? One must know that the son of the second branch was birth by her!

On the night of the third day wash, old Mrs. Chen fell ill.

Lying on the bed, she crooked and chirped. After drinking a few batches of medicine, there was no improvement. Doctor Ma could only say that she caught a cold.

Though old Mrs. Chen was muddled minded from her illness, she didn't forget to scold Doctor Ma for his three-legged cat medical skills: "What a dog-butt doctor. After a few days of medicine, not getting any better! I think he's trying to make money and harm life!"

Although Wan Niang was in confinement, she caught the news of old Mrs. Chen's illness, After pondering for a long time, she came up with an idea to deal with the few from second branch.

Chapter 88


Qiao Family bought a Phoenix brand weighted bicycle. The bicycle was big and heavy. It was indeed not something that children such as Da Qiao can control.

The management of bicycles was very strict these days. After buying a bicycle, one must register with the vehicle management office of the traffic department. The vehicle management office would issue a "Bicycle License" certificate to the owner.

One must always bring their ID with them when they go out and around. If they weren't able to take it out when during checkpoint inspection, they were likely to be treated as a bike thief.

When Qiao Zhen Min rode his bicycle back to the production team, the entire production team exploded!

Although Shen Family had come by in a car before, Shen Family was too far away for them. They'll just admire in passing since they won't see or touch it. Nothing to do with their life.

While Qiao Family's bicycle was the first bicycle in the production team. The production team leader didn't have one yet!

Qiao Family was too awesome. This was a benefit for everyone. With a bicycle in the production team, they can borrow it from Qiao Family for emergency purpose.

Therefore, at this time, everyone made up their minds that they must become good friends with Qiao Family in the future. Even if they can't become good friends, they can't offend them for the sake of borrowing bicycles!

"Old Fifth Qiao, you really bought this bicycle? This bicycle must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Everyone eyed the bicycle with envy. They wanted to reach out to touch it, but were afraid that the bicycle would be damaged.

Qiao Zhen Min calmly replied, "It's just over one hundred yuan."

Just!

Look at his tone, it made one's teeth itch. Qiao Family was really different!

"Oh, not to mention how expensive this bicycle is, it's not easy to save so many industrial coupons. Old Fifth Qiao, do your family have any extra industrial coupons? If there are, I'll use other coupons to exchange with you!"

"I'll exchange too. I'll exchange with you with cloth coupons. Food coupons too. It's up to you to choose!"

These days, the most rare thing was the industrial coupon. One may not be able to get one even if they beg everywhere.

A few years ago, the country wanted to make steel. The pots of every household were requisitioned. Some people haven't been able to buy a pot at home. To buy a large iron pot, they need industrial coupons. Without industrial coupons, money was useless.

Old Fifth Qiao shook his head and told, "There is no more for now. If there is any in the future, I will inform you again."

The villagers' words made him realize that this might be a good way to make money.

He can collect the food coupons in the hands of the villagers and go out to exchange industrial coupons with others. He can draw some benefits in the middle.

Of course, he certainly can't tell them this now. He can't give them a definite answer either. If things come too easily, the other party won't cherish them.

When everyone heard what he said, they made up their minds more and more to be on good terms with Qiao Family. They were incapable of getting industrial tickets these days.

Qiao Zhen Min rode the bicycle home. Qiao Family's children were very excited when they saw the bicycle!

"Fifth Uncle, is this our family's bicycle?" An Ping was the first to run up. His eyes sparkled as he looked at the bicycle like it was a gem.

Qiao Zhen Min nodded: "Yes, this bicycle will be ours from now on."

An Ping jumped three feet high: "Great, we have a bicycle! Fifth Uncle, can you teach me how to ride a bicycle?"

"No!" Qiao Dong Ying came over and stated, "From elderly to young in an orderly manner. Must line up according to age. When Eldest Sister and I finish learning, it will be your turn!"

An Ping immediately slumped. There were so many elder before Eldest Sister. When will it be his turn?

Why wasn't he older?

Da Qiao was also very curious about the bicycle. She peered around and touched around: "Fifth Uncle, doesn't this bicycle have to be tied with plastic film?"

She had seen a lot of cyclists in town before. Almost all the handlebars and cross tubes of the bicycles were tied with plastic film. Her grandmother told her that it was to prevent the paint from wearing off the bicycles.

Qiao Zhen Min rubbed her head and smiled, "I want to tie it up. Do you want to help Fifth Uncle tie it up?"

"Yes!" Da Qiao eagerly responded.

Surrounded by a group of children, Qiao Zhen Min pushed the bicycle in. Everyone wrapped the bicycle around with plastic film.

After winding it up, a brand-new bicycle instantly became colorful and a little unsightly.

But no one disliked it. Bicycles were so precious. Naturally, they must be well protected!

Seeing the bicycle, Wan Chun Ju was so excited that her face twitched. Seeing that Da Qiao wanted to touch the bicycle, she couldn't help but reprimanded her twice. She completely regarded the bicycle as the property of first branch.

If it wasn't for fear of her mother-in-law scolding her, she would have moved the bicycle to her room to hide it!

When it was time to sleep that night, she kept urging her man to quickly learn to ride a bike, so that he could drive her around the production team and show off fake wealth.

This time, Qiao Zhen Guo didn't refuse. Mainly, he wanted to ride a bicycle. He planned to learn from tomorrow.

It was a pity that the two's wishes soon went down the drain. The next day, Xue Chuan occupied the bicycle.

Xue Chuan deliberately took leave with the production team to take his wife to town for a day of fun. Today was the 35th anniversary of their marriage.

After Qiao Zhen Guo and the other children found out, they all wanted to celebrate with their parents. However, they got rejected.

Qiao Xiu Zhi and Xue Chuan expressed that they didn't want to bring along a group of light bulbs. Only Da Qiao was brought along. But once they got to town, they'll drop Da Qiao at Shen's house before experiencing couple time.

Xue Chuan hopped on the bicycle with his long legs, picked up Da Qiao and placed her on the horizontal bar in front. Then he turned his head and smilingly beckoned his wife, "Come on. I'll take you two."

During this period, Xue Chuan's body had been getting better and better. He hadn't been sick once in the past six months. Qiao Xiu Zhi wasn't worried that he would not be able to carry them. She sat on the back frame.

Xue Chuan pushed his feet and swiftly carried the two away.

The people who were left behind: "..."

When they arrived at town, they first brought Da Qiao to Shen's house. Shen Family welcomed Da Qiao's arrival. Especially Shen Tian You, who happily circled the room.

After greeting, they rode their bicycle away.

Xue Chuan didn't cycle to the state-run restaurant or the department store. Instead, he turned into an alley and finally stopped in front of a small courtyard.

The small courtyard wasn't only remote, but also separated from the surrounding houses by a certain distance. Which looked very suitable for do bad things.

There was no surprise on Qiao Xiu Zhi's face though. She was obviously no stranger to this place.

Xue Chuan stepped forward and knocked on the door. A rough man's voice sounded from inside: "Who is it?"

"It's me, old Xue." Xue Chuan replied.

The footsteps inside were a little hurried. With a "squeak", the wooden door was opened. A man in his fifties or sixties appeared behind the door with a simple smile on his face: "You guys are a little early today!"

The man's name was old Xu. His grandfather used to be the housekeeper of Xue Family. Later, Xue Family took the initiative to give them back their slave contract. On top of that, they gave them a sum of money to make a living.

Xu Family went out to open a restaurant. The business was quite prosperous and they saved a small fortune. Later, when Xue Family went in decline, Xu Family helped a lot behind the scenes. Over the years, the two families have kept in touch.

Private business wasn't allowed now. Xu Family had long ceased to open a restaurant. Still, those things in the kitchen were still well kept.

Xue Chuan familiarly walked into the kitchen. Various ingredients were already prepared in the kitchen. He rolled up his sleeves and cooked a good feast for his wife.

Braised pork, Mapo tofu, old hen stew, steamed fish, and two bowls of handmade noodles. Full of color and aroma. The fragrance filled the whole yard.

Fortunately, no one lived nearby. Otherwise, if they smell the meat, it will attract the attention of the neighbors.

Old Xu went out after they came in. He wisely left the space for them husband and wife.

After being seated, Xue Chuan scooped a bowl of soup for Qiao Xiu Zhi and merrily introduced, "This soup has been simmered for several hours. It's very tasty. Try it."

Qiao Xiu Zhi picked up the bowl and took a sip. It was perfect and salty. The dishes on the table were all her favorites.

Xue Chuan saw that she had finished drinking and clipped some meat for her, "You have worked hard all these years."

Qiao Xiu Zhi stared at her husband's still handsome face, and smiled: "With you, it's not hard work."

Any more mushier, they wouldn't say it. The two stared at each other. Only the other person existed in their eyes.

Over the years, they have gone through ups and downs together. In the days to come, they will continue to move forward hand in hand. If there s an afterlife, they will still be husband and wife.

When the food was almost finished, Xue Chuan put down his chopsticks and stated, "I have something to tell you."

Qiao Xiu Zhi also put down her chopsticks: "What's the matter? Is it serious?"

Xue Chuan said: "We always felt that Hong Mei isn't like our child. After that, I asked old Xu to help me to investigate. Because it's been many years, many people couldn't be found. Recently, there was an elderly who used to be a nurse in the hospital. She took the initiative to find him. According to the old nurse, she was called out before she helped the baby bathe. When she came back, she found that the baby had suddenly changed. She was shocked. After searching around once, she didn't find others. Due to being worried that she would be fired from the hospital after she voicing it out, she pretended that nothing happened. Recently she found that she was dying, so she asked her nephew to come to old Xu."

Qiao Xiu Zhi grasped the edge of the table and said solemnly, "So, Hong Mei isn't our child anymore?"

Xue Chuan nodded: "The child should have been swapped at that time. I don't know who did it, let alone why the other party did it!"

When Qiao Xiu Zhi had a dystocia, she was rushed to the town hospital. The situation was very critical at the time. After giving birth, she was bleeding profusely.

Because both side's parents had passed away long ago, there were no other elders in the family to help. He entrusted the baby to the nurse who delivered the baby and asked her to help take care of his daughter.

Unexpectedly, such a thing to happen in the middle. He felt very guilty at of his missing daughter and how her life or death was unknown!

Qiao Xiu Zhi was also very depressed when she thought of the daughter she had never met.

Xue Chuan reached out and held her hand. His voice choked up a bit: "I'm sorry. It's all my fault!"

Qiao Xiu Zhi shook her head: "How is your fault? With my situation back then, it's understandable that you didn't pay heed to the child. Did the old nurse provide any other clues? As for the hospital, were there have any birth records back then? "

Xue Chuan shook his head and nodded again: "All the records in the hospital were burnt down a few years ago, so the data is gone. The old nurse did say our daughter has a peach-shaped birthmark on the back. About half your palm big. If we can meet, we should be able to recognize her easily."

When Qiao Xiu Zhi heard this, she couldn't help but sneer.

The sea of ​​people was vast. Where do they start?

What's more, the birthmark was on the back. How can they see it when everyone was wearing clothes?

In other words, even if their daughter walked past them, they might not recognize her!

"Where's the old nurse?" Qiao Xiu Zhi solemnly asked.

If the other party had informed them of the matter at the time, they would have gone to the police on the spot. They might have been able to find their daughter. But it was because of the other party's concealment and selfishness that they had been separated for so many years!

She really had the heart to kill her!

Xue Chuan replied with an heavy heart: "She is terminally ill. She probably don't have much time left. I want to get her tell the truth while she is still alive. Then we will cut off our relationship with Hong Mei."

The old nurse did a bad thing and was condemned by her conscience all her life. Both of her sons died of illness one after another without leaving any descendants. She felt that this was God's punishment for her. When she found out that she couldn't last longer, she wanted to tell the truth of the matter.

Xue Chuan hated the other party's selfishness. But with her current state, they can't do anything.

Qiao Xiu Zhi thought of all the disgusting things that Hong Mei had done in the past, she nodded without hesitation: "Okay. This should be done sooner rather than later least that the old nurse stopped breathing and caused trouble again."

Ever since Hong Mei and Chen Family found out that they had a relationship with Shen Family, the couple often came to the production team. And they separate on bad terms every time.

According to Shen Family, the couple specially went to Shen's house a few times to find them, only to be kicked out by them.

Hong Mei firmly believed it was them who didn't want them to live well. The last time, they yelled and scolded at the door of Qiao's house before leaving. Almost the entire production team came to watch.

She used to think that Hong Mei was their biological daughter, so she could only swallow it down even when she was disgusted. Now that she knew that she wasn't their daughter, she didn't want to endure it for a moment!

Xue Chuan grasped her hand and stated, "Let's go to the police station to find Shi Kai now!"

It was best that the police got involved in this matter. This way, Hong Mei and Chen Family can't even take the opportunity to act up!

...

The two said goodbye to old Xu and went to the police station.

Shen Shi Kai was stunned when he saw the couple coming over.

When he knew what happened, he fiercely slammed his fist on the table: "It's not an exaggeration to say the mistake that the old nurse made is enough to lock her up for ten or eight years. If you want to, wait for the matter to be settled and she can be imprisoned on the spot!"

Qiao Xiu Zhi thought for a while before shaking her head, "Forget it. Let's take it as gaining good merit for our daughter. Besides, with her condition, she probably won't be locked up for more than a few days."

From what Xue Chuan said, the other party was too sick to get out of bed. Even if she was put in prison, it would be useless. Their daughter still couldn't be found. Once the other party is in prison, she might no longer blame herself.

This would let her off too lightly.

Selfish people like this should live in guilt and self-blame all their lives!

Shen Shi Kai expressed his understanding, picked up the key, and drove them to the old nurse.

Under his witness, he recorded everything the old nurse said, asked her to sign, and put her fingerprints. Then he took the old nurse to Chen's house.

As soon as she walked into the family compound, Hong Mei could be heard scolding her daughter: "You trash! I ask you to do some work and you can't do it well, I'll beat you to death!"

"Mom, I was wrong. Don't hit me... ah..." Chen Zhao Di's cry came from the room. There was the sound of a cane hitting on her body.

Qiao Xiu Zhi frowned. Disdain for this fake deepen more and more in her heart.

"Qiao Hong Mei!" Shen Shi Kai shouted at the door of Chen's house.

When Qiao Hong Mei heard someone call her, she was startled. The cane almost whacked her in the eye.

Fuming, she came out. As she walked out, she berated, "Who's yelling at my door? Trying to scare people to death?"

When she came out and saw Shen Shi Kai's face, her anger suddenly turned into a smile: "Oh, Deputy Chief, why are you free to come here?"

She threw the cane aside and rushed out; completely ignoring her parents who were standing at the side.

Mother Chen heard a man calling her daughter-in-law's name. She thought her daughter-in-law was cuckolding her son and was about to come out and beat and scold her. Then she heard her daughter-in-law call the other party 'deputy chief'. Her face instantly bloomed like a flower.


"Hong Mei, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and ask Deputy Chief to come in and sit!"

Mother Chen's voice boomed. She wished for everyone in the yard to know that the deputy chief came to their Chen's house.

Sure enough, after hearing Mother Chen's words, many people ran out from inside.

"Mother Chen Xing, is this your relative?"

Mother Chen raised her chin like a proud old hen with her head held high: "This is the deputy chief from the police station. Also, a relative of our Hong Mei's maternal family. In a way, a relative of our Chen Family!"

Qiao Xiu Zhi and Xue Chuan took in the virtues of this pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. They felt like they were fed a mouthful of flies. Simply disgusting!

Fortunately, after today, they were no longer related!

Shen Shi Kai avoided Qiao Hong Mei's outstretched hand and declared with a straight face, "I'm not a relative of your Chen Family. Stop talking nonsense here!"

Mother Chen and Qiao Hong Mei blushed with embarrassment. The surrounding people burst into laughter.

Shen Shi Kai didn't give them a chance to speak. He pointed at Qiao Hong Mei and continued, "I'm here today because of your identity!"

Then, he told in front of everyone that the old nurse discovered that the babies had been swapped, but concealed the matter.

After listening, Qiao Hong Mei's face was as white as a ghost: "No, it's impossible. Deputy Chief, you... must be joking with me?"

Shen Shi Kai said coldly, "Who has time to joke with you? It's all true!"

Saying that, he asked the old nurse who was being carried by her nephew to testify and showed the recorded statement to everyone.

Finally, he pointed to Qiao Hong Mei and Xue Chuan and asked everyone, "The eyes of the masses are the sharpest. Do you think Qiao Hong Mei and the two elders of Qiao Family look alike?"

Everyone shook their heads: "Not alike!"

Only then did people know that Xue Chuan and Qiao Xiu Zhi were Qiao Hong Mei's 'parents': "Oh, it turns out that these two are Hong Mei's parents. Hong Mei didn't acknowledge them from beginning to end just now. I thought they were strangers!"

"That's right. I thought Hong Mei didn't know them just now. Never thought they were Hong Mei's parents! However, Hong Mei really doesn't look like the two of them. I couldn't find any resemblance anywhere!"

When Qiao Hong Mei heard everyone's words, she panicked.

She had deliberately ignored her parents just now. She held a grudge toward them for making her lose face a few times before. That's why, she deliberately embarrassed them.

It was just that she never imagined that things would turn out like this!

She did hate Qiao Family and hated her parents' biased even more. But she can't cut off the relationship with Qiao Family. Her man still want to latch onto Shen Family through Qiao Family. If she isn't the daughter of Qiao Family, this road will be completely cut off!

She had already found out that her man was with that vixen Wang Ni-er. She gave that b*tch a good beating. She was beaten hard by Chen Xing in turn.

Afterwards, Chen Xing reluctantly agreed to break up the relationship with that slut Wang Ni-er because she was still useful. Once she isn't Qiao Family's daughter, Chen Xing might immediately divorce her!

She cried and rushed up: "Mom, Dad, I know I have a bad temper and make you mad every time. But that's because I care about you too much. Don't say that I'm not your daughter. Hearing this, I feel hurt!"

Qiao Xiu Zhi's body dodged and avoided her rushing body.

Qiao Hong Mei met with empty air and fell to the ground. Her nose smashed on the ground. The pain made her tears fall.

At this moment, could she care about the pain? She got up and continued to sob: "Mom, I really know I'm wrong. How could I not be your daughter? I'm made from the same mold of you!"

Everyone: "..."

Look at her short figure and big pie face? Where did she get courage to say that she was made from the same mold as her?

Qiao Xiu Zhi coldly stared at her, "You have a cold nature and selfish in personality. Not only do you look different from everyone in our Qiao family, but you also have different personalities! Over the years, we have been wondering why you would develop this kind of character. Now we finally understand why, you are not our daughter!"

Qiao Hong Mei was so flustered that she trembled: "Dad, I'm your daughter. You raised me from young. How could I not be your daughter? Please talk to Mom. Tell her not to treat me like this!"

Qiao Xiu Zhi was too lazy to waste time with her and asked Shen Shi Kai, "What should I do now?"

Shen Shi Kai spoke: "Let her sign this population register. It will record all the circumstances. From now on, there will be no parent-child relationship between you."

"I won't sign!" Qiao Hong Mei cried, refusing to sign on it.

Qiao Xiu Zhi frowned and asked, "Is it okay to just imprint the index finger print without signing?"

Shen Shi Kai pondered before nodding: "Also works. But it would be better if the people present are willing to sign their names to testify this."

Neighbors expressed their willingness to sign.

They can't latch on a high branch like Deputy Chief, but they can sell favor to the other party. If something happens in the future, the other party may be willing to give some face to them because of this favor.

Qiao Hong Mei didn't expect everyone to treat her like this. She told them not to sign. No one paid heed to her!

After seeing everyone's signatures, Qiao Xiu Zhi grabbed Qiao Hong Mei's hand and imprint her index finger print on it. Then she strolled away.

During this process, Mother Chen was completely stunned. She only regained her sense after Qiao Xiu Zhi and others left.

She jumped up and slapped Qiao Hong Mei on the face: "You hen who can't lay eggs, I'll get my son to divorce you!"

Chapter 87


Tian Jian Ming hoped that the military official who came in wouldn't notice him. But this wishful thinking never came true.

That military official soon noticed his presence and interrogatingly hollered, "Who are you to Qiu Xin Yong? What's your name?"

Tian Jian Ming's legs trembled: "My... my name is Tian Jian Ming. Not part of Qiu Family."

Qiu Xin Yong raised his head and glanced at his nephew when he heard the end part.

The military official laughed: "So you are Tian Jian Ming. Perfect! Save us another trip. Come and arrest him for me!"

Two soldiers stepped forward and grabbed Tian Jian Ming's arms.

Tian Jian Ming was like a weak skinny chicken. He didn't even dare to resist. Only weakly shouted, "Did you arrest the wrong person? I'm not part of Qiu Family. My surname is Tian!"

The military official responded: "You're the one we're arresting! Someone reported that you were messing around and caused the other party to commit suicide by jumping into the river. If it wasn't for your maternal uncle protecting you, you would have been arrested and paraded in the streets long ago!"

Tian Jian Ming's face instantly turned pale: "I... I didn't. She got together with me voluntarily. I didn't force her from beginning to end!"

The military official looked at him like he was a fool; talking to him was a waste of his saliva.

Tian Jian Ming panicked even more when he saw this. His heart kept sinking; sinking down to a-never-appearing bottom.

Soldiers of the armed forces raided Qiu's house until it was upside down.

If they didn't raided, they won't have known. Now that they did, they were shocked!

Qiu Family actually had a basement, which hid a large amount of antique jewelry and gold, as well as countless other good things. In Qiu Xin Yong's mother's room, more than 10,000 cash was found!

Currently the monthly salary of the employee in the town was 30 yuan. The cadres were 40 to 50 yuan. Even if one save all the money without drinking or eating, they have to save for more than 20 years!

However, so much money can be casually raided out of Qiu's house. How could it not be shocking?

Qiu Family's daughter and Mother Tian were so scared that their faces were bloodless. Huddled together, they trembled and cried. They could already imagine how miserable they would be in the days to come.

In the end, Qiu Family and Tian Family were all arrested.

The armed forces came to arrest people with guns. Many people witnessed this scene. So the news of Qiu's house being raided quickly spread throughout the town.

Those who had been persecuted by Qiu Family and Tian Family before were so excited that they burst into tears. Immediately, they all gathered together and uniformly ran to the government to report Qiu and Tian Family's evil deeds.

The wall fall when everyone pushed.

The people who used to be friends with Qiu Family and Tian Family completely disappeared and lived with their tails between their legs. They feared that they would be implicated. However, most of these people weren't clean either. They either became redundant or had their homes raided.

The turmoil lasted for half a month before it calmed down. The cadres in the town were washed and a lot of worms were replaced.

Qiu Xin Yong was directly sentenced to death because of his numerous crimes. Tian Jian Ming was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Qiu Family and Tian Family were more or less involved. The serious ones were sentenced according to the specific circumstances. The less serious ones were all thrown to the farm for reform.

After hearing that Qiu Xin Yong had been reported, county magistrate got his niece to break the engagement with Tian Family on the spot. Who would have thought that Lin Miao was a love-minded person. At this point, she was crying and begging her family to save Tian Jian Ming!

This was dragging the whole family into the water to die together. How can Lin Family listen to her?

Lin Miao was locked up. She cried a lot and threw tantrum. She even used hunger strike to force her family but it was to no avail. In desperation, she became seriously ill. After she recovered, she suddenly disappeared one morning.

Lin Family was furious and worried. They had to find her though. After more than ten days, Lin Miao was found. She ran to the farm and said that she was Tian Family's daughter-in-law and wanted to share weal and woe with Tian Family!

When the community director heard that there was a fish that slipped through the net and took the initiative to bring herself to the door, he imprisoned her on the farm without even thinking about it.

After Lin Family found out, they announced that they cut ties with Lin Miao. Her life and death had nothing to do with Lin Family!

When Qiao Family knew that Qiu and Tian Family had received their retribution, they celebrated with joy.

Good news came one after another. The food factory manager sent someone to the production team to inform Qiao Zhen Jun that he could go back to the factory and continue to work. Once he works for half an year, he'll become a permanent employee.

Qiao Zhen Jun can be considered to gain a blessing in disguise. Nowadays, the number of permanent employees in the food factory was limited. There was a hole for each radish. It was very difficult to get permanent job.

Lin Hui's eyes were red with joy. She hurried back to her maternal home to tell her mom the good news. When Wang Qiu Ying found out, her chest puffed out. She immediately went out with a bowl to "chat" with others.

Once the villagers knew that Qiao Zhen Jun got his job back and that he could become a permanent one, they were all envious.

Qiao Zhen Min rushed back from the county before Qiu Xin Yong's gunshot execution and went to the prison to visit Tian Jian Ming.

For Tian Jian Ming, these days were the most difficult days since he was born. He couldn't eat enough or sleep well. The place where he was detained was damp and smelly. There were bed bugs and fleas everywhere. He was bitten on the first day he entered. A rash was all over his body now.

Putting these aside, the most painful part was that he was beaten by criminals in the prison every day. What's more, his 'innocence' had been endangered on the first day he came in.

At this moment, he slowly moved in a strange gait. The prison guard impatiently pushed him: "Hurry up!"

With this push, he staggered and almost fell to the ground. With this movement, there was a sharp pain in his chrysanthemum. This made his facial features twisted.

F*ck, when were these days going to end?

He really can't take it anymore!

When Qiao Zhen Min saw Tian Jian Ming's haggard appearance, he was very relieved: "God has eyes. Serve you right!"

Tian Jian Ming gave him pointed glare: "I really underestimated your Qiao Family. We shouldn't have let you off back then!"

Qiao Zhen Min frigidly looked at him: "Let go? When did you let our Qiao Family off? You just don't want the county magistrate to know about your evil deeds. That's why you haven't touched Qiao Family for the time being. Don't yourself appear so kind and compassionate!"

Tian Jian Ming's facial features contorted in fury. Then he suddenly raised his head and wildly laughed: "So what if you bought us down? Your wife had been slept by me, no? By the way, she also said that you are not good there..."

BOOM!

Blinded by fury, Qiao Zhen Min jumped up and punched him hard in the face!

Tian Jian Ming's nose stung. Two lines of warm blood immediately flowed out of his nose. But before he could react, he eaten another punch and was pushed to the ground by Qiao Zhen Min. Fists fell on his face like raindrops.

"Save me! Murder! Prison guard!" He was beaten to point of having no power to fight back and could only cry for help.

However, the prison guard disappeared after sending him into this room. If he could go out at this time, he would see the prison guard standing on the other side; turning a blind eye to the cry for help inside.

Qiao Zhen Min coldly stated, "I advise you to save your energy. Even if you yell your throat hoarse, no one will come to save you!"

Before he came in, Shen Shi Kai had arranged everything for him long ago. As long as he didn't kill him, he can do as he like.

Only then did Tian Jian Ming realize. Both hatred and unwillingness brewed in his heart. Still, he begged for mercy: "Elder Brother Qiao, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong, but it was your wife who seduced me first... She said you wouldn't let her go to the county and blamed her for losing your daughter..."

No matter what he uttered, Qiao Zhen Ming's fists didn't hesitate at all. He beat Tian Jian Ming until his nose was blue and his face was swollen before letting him go.

Not a part of Tian Jian Ming's body didn't ached. He thought it was over but heard Qiao Zhen Min coolly looked at him and spoke...

"You're a talented kid. Your maternal uncle is so good to you. And you can stab him his back. I wonder how Qiu Family will deal with you when they find out?"

In order to reduce the punishment for himself, Tian Jian Ming took the initiative to confess what Qiu Family had done. Some of these weren't in the report materials.

If it weren't for him, Qiu Xin Yong's eldest son wouldn't have to be sentenced to death and the punishment for the other two sons wouldn't have been so severe. Although Qiu Family deserved it, Tian Jian Ming was truly a petty person.

Hearing Qiao Zhen Min's words, Tian Jian Ming's heart thumped. His whole body uncontrollably trembled.

He endured the pain and got up from the ground. Holding the other's legs, he begged for mercy: "Elder Brother Qiao, please let me go. I really know I'm wrong!"

His two cousin brothers ​​were in jail with him. If they knew what he had done, they would torment him to death!

He still had to spend fifteen years in prison. For such a long time, he has to face two enemies. He couldn't stop shaking at the thought.

Qiao Zhen Min kicked him away and his lips curled: "It's too late to realize your wrongdoing."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out. When he opened the door, Tian Jian Ming saw two people standing at the door. These two people were none other than the two cousin brothers from Qiu Family!

Tian Jian Ming collapsed to the ground. With a roll of his eyes, he suddenly fainted.

...

As Da Qiao picked wild vegetables in the East Forest, she muttered, "If only I could catch a wild chicken."

Tomorrow was Elder Huo Chi's birthday. In addition to the gifts that she had prepared a long time ago, she still wanted to make him something delicious. But she didn't want to trouble her family.

As soon as her words fell, a wild child flapped its wings and ran out from the bushes. It happily clucked.

When Da Qiao saw the wild chicken, her eyes instantly lit up. She was about to take a stone to knock it unconscious, when the pheasant ran to her, fell to the ground, and stopped moving.

Da Qiao:"……"

What was going on?

How can this wild chicken send itself to the door to die?

Da Qiao blinked her big almond eyes. After thinking for a long time, she couldn't come up with a reason. She simply gave up then. Anyway, the ingredients were already in hand. Tomorrow she will be able to cook something delicious for Elder Brother Huo Chi!

She tied up the wild chicken and hid it in a hidden bush to make sure no one would find it before she went home with the basket.

The next day, she asked Mom to do a beautiful fishtail braid for her. Then she went out with a small basket.

Little Dong Lin and little Yi Ming wanted to follow. But no matter how much they acted cute, Da Qiao didn't soften her heart.

It wasn't that she didn't want to let her younger brothers go, but Elder Brother Huo Chi said that he wanted to spend his birthday alone with her. Though she wanted, she couldn't.

Little Dong Lin and little Yi Ming watched their elder sister go away with tears in their eyes. Internally, they regarded Huo Chi as their top-tier enemy.

Da Qiao and Huo Chi sneaked into West Wood and came to their usual spot, the waterfall.

Because the other end of West Wood was still dense with fog and full of traps, the production team locked the entrance to this end with a bamboo door to prevent children from running in.

But a small door wasn't much difficulty for Huo Chi.

Da Qiao took out the items in the basket one by one. The first one taken out was a bag of crispy fried green beans.

Qiao Family’s private plot had been replaced by wolfberry trees. Now, they can only grow some vegetables that for their daily consumption in the yard. This batch of green beans was left over from the past. The beans were very full.

After frying the green beans, she stir-fried them with chili peppers and other seasonings. It tasted spicy and crispy. When one take a bite, it crunches. Extremely crispy.

"Bring this back to Grandpa Huo and Auntie Fang to eat. This is a great snack. It's a new recipe that I recently came up with!"

While stuffing the bag over, Da Qiao introduced it to him. She didn't forget to praise herself.

The corners of Huo Chi's mouth curled up. He was already used to her vain habit of boasting about herself. If one day she didn't praise herself, he mightn't be used to it!

Da Qiao continued to take out things. In addition to some food, there was also a small purse. It was embroidered with a boy and a girl. The two were roasting chicken and eating.

Huo Chi held the purse and touched the embroidery on it with his hand. His heart felt warmth: "Your gift... I like it very much."

Da Qiao smiled and responded, "It great that Elder Brother Huo Chi likes it. Last time you were angry with me for this. I was sad for a while. You're not angry anymore?"

Before, she wanted to make some purses for her godmother and her family. Since the quantity was too large and she wasn't skilled enough in embroidery, she didn't prepare his share.

But after Elder Brother Huo Chi accidentally found that she hadn't prepared for him, he turned around and left on the spot. Then he deliberately avoided her for two or three continuous days. Although he took the initiative to reconcile with her later, she knew he was angry that she didn't make a purse for him.

Huo Chi's face turned red with a "swoosh". He forcefully defended himself: "I'm not mad at you. You misunderstood."

Da Qiao looked at him with her big eyes: "No? But last time you obviously ignored me for a good few days..."

Huo Chi's ears turned red now: "It's all in the past. Don't talk about it. I'll clean up the wild chicken."

After he finished speaking, he quickly stood up, grabbed the chicken on the ground, and bolted as if he was running away.

When Da Qiao saw Elder Brother Huo Chi's reaction, she was very puzzled. After thinking about it for a while, she dropped it and went to pick up dead branches to make a fire.

Huo Chi ran to the edge of the waterfall. His face was still hot.

He wasn't actually angry with Da Qiao last time. When he heard that she made purses for everyone and not him, he felt depressed.

He dumped the wild chicken on the ground. After washing his hands, he took out his purse to look at it again. The corners of his mouth hooked up.

He really liked this gift and will definitely treasure it!

After staring it for a while, he carefully put the purse into his pocket and started killing the chicken.

Once the chicken was all sorted, Da Qiao had successfully started the fire.

Da Qiao accepted the wild chicken from Elder Brother Huo Chi. She smeared a layer of lard and salt on the chicken and then stuffed the ginger, chives, minced garlic, peppercorns, carrot pieces, and potato pieces prepared in the morning into the wild chicken's stomach.

After marinating for half an hour, it was inserted on a stick and roasted over the fire.

As soon as the roast chicken was put on the fire, there was a crackling sound. After a while, a taste fragrance wafted up. The two almost drooled.

Half an hour later, the roasted chicken was cooked. The skin was crispy, while the flesh was tender and spicy. Although the meat was a little bit tougher than the domesticated chickens, it didn't affect its deliciousness at all!

Huo Chi tore off a big drumstick and handed it to Da Qiao: "Your favorite drumsticks. Both are for you."

Da Qiao accpeted it over. Her eyes curved in delight: "One is enough for me. Elder Brother Huo Chi, you eat the other. By the way, my grandfather said that there must be a beginning and an end in doing things. Today is Elder Brother Huo Chi's birthday. This chicken head and chicken butt is Elder Brother Huo Chi's too."

Huo Chi: "..."

Qiao Nian Nian, are you serious?

Huo Chi's mouth twitched as he stared at her. The other party blinked at him with bright and clean eyes with three words written in the bottom of her eyes: I am serious.

In the end, Huo Chi didn't eat the chicken head and chicken butt. He used an excuse of wanting to share the chicken. The chicken head and chicken butt ended up in Pi Pi's stomach.

...

The office of Lieutenant General Jiang in the army.

Wang Yan Sheng knocked on the door and walked in. He gave a military salute.

Lieutenant General Jiang waved his hand and spoke, "There's no one else here. Don't be so stiff. There's already news from Qiu Xin Yong's side."

Saying that, he threw a document in front of him.

Wang Yan Sheng picked up the documents and skimmed through it. When he saw that Qiu and Tian Family had been raided, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

These two families had been eliminated. Qiao Family will not have to worry about being schemed against in the future.

He put the document in and responded, "I must thank you, Lieutenant General Jiang. If it weren't for you, this matter would definitely not be resolved!"

Lieutenant General Jiang picked up the enamel tank and took a sip of water: "Don't be in a rush to say thank you. I only gave a third of my strength to this matter. Besides us, there were also people in Baocheng's side who started to attack Qiu Xin Yong. It was the work of few forces that pulled that guy down!"

Wang Yan Sheng immediately thought of Qiao Family's god-relatives, Shen Family.

Shen Family was very kind. Ordinary people couldn't wait to hide when they encounter such a thing. How could they possibly help? What's more, they and Qiao Family were just god-relatives.

Just when he was pondering, he heard Lieutenant General Jiang continue: "Our side can act so quickly, thanks to Commander-in-chief Liang's help. If it wasn't for him, this matter would definitely not have been solved so quickly!"

Hearing Commander-in-chief Liang being mentioned, Wang Yan Sheng was stunned.

A youthful and lively figure immediately appeared in his mind. His brows immediately wrinkled.

When Lieutenant General Jiang saw his reaction, he knew that he had guessed the underlying important factor: "I don't have any connections that side. So I mentioned it to Commander-in-chief Liang. He was originally unwilling to help. At that time, Comrade Dong happened to hear our discussion. She pleaded Commander-in-chief Liang to help us. You have to thank Comrade Dong."

Wang Yan Sheng's brows furrowed even tighter. He was silent for a while before uttering, "I understand!"

Lieutenant General Jiang put the enamel tank aside and said, "Comrade Dong is a good comrade. Commander-in-chief Liang's side also have intention to match you two. It's just you are already engaged. So you have to handle it well and mustn't make mistakes, understand?"

Wang Yan Sheng gave a military salute again: "I understand!"

After coming out of Lieutenant General Jiang's office, Wang Yan Sheng contemplated how to return this favor and how to make the other party give up.

Unexpectedly, he saw Dong Li Li halfway on the road.

The other party was wearing a blue dress with two braids. She was standing downstairs waiting for him.

He took a deep breath and walked over: "Comrade Dong, are you waiting for me?"

Dong Li Li's cheeks turned red with a 'thump'. She bit her lip and nodded, "Yes, I'm waiting for you, Colonel Leader Wang."

Dong Li Li was pretty; melon face with big eyes, slender figure, beautiful and fashionable dress, plus a lively and cheerful air. Many men like her.

But in Wang Yan Sheng's eyes, she had become a hot potato now.

He was silent for a while. He decided to cut the mess with a quick knife: "Comrade Dong, Lieutenant General Jiang has already told me Commander-in-chief Liang's help. On behalf of myself and my fiancée's family, I thank you!"

Seeing that he took the initiative to come to find her, Dong Li Li felt like she was wrapped in honey. Who knew that he would mention his fiancée as soon as he opened his mouth.

Her heart immediately sank. The blush on her face dissipated: "Colonel Wang... Do you like your fiancée very much?"

Wang Yan Sheng nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I like her dearly. I have been thinking of marrying her since I was fifteen. But at that time I had no ability and my family was very poor. So for her, I joined the army and became a soldier. I made a mistake though. I didn't let her know my heart. That's why, she got married in my third year in the army!"

Dong Li Li gasped. Her eyes widened: "You mean... your fiancée is divorced?"

Wang Yan Sheng nodded again: "Not only is she divorced, she also has a child. I don't care. As long as I can marry her, I will be satisfied!"

It felt terrible to hear someone you like talk about their love for another woman!

Dong Li Li grabbed the corner of her clothes. Her eyes were a little red: "Why? Is it because I appear later than her? Which part of me can't compare to her?"

Wang Yan Sheng responded: "I have known her since I was eleven years old. When I was about to starve to death, her appearance saved me. So in my heart, no one can surpass her! You are wonderful. A decent girl. In the future, you will definitely meet someone who cherishes you."

At this point, how could Dong Li Li not understand?

Her eyes and nose were sour to the point of extreme discomfort. She choked: "I see."

After speaking, she turned and ran away.

Wang Yan Sheng watched her back. He remained silent for a moment before turning and walked upstairs.

Dong Lili sobbingly ran back to her dormitory. Because she had a single-person dorm, she could cry as much as she wanted.

Once she was tired of crying, she fell asleep on the bed and had a dream.

In the dream, she still liked Wang Yan Sheng very much. For his sake, she refused the family's arrangement. Since he wouldn't marry, she didn't marry either. Finally, when Wang Yan Sheng was thirty-three years old, she married him.

It was just that the married life wasn't as good as she imagined. No matter how hard she tried, Wang Yan Sheng was always lukewarm. Later, she realized that he had a woman hidden in his heart. Even though that woman was dead, he still couldn't forget it.

She collapsed at the time. How could she compare to a dead woman?

Her family persuaded her not to care. Still, she just couldn't let it go. So in the days to come, she kept arguing with him. The house was in chaos. Daughter was often frightened into tears. She didn't care though. She was only focused on forcing him to forget that woman.

They tortured each other like this for ten years. In the end, she couldn't take it anymore. After divorcing him, she abandoned her daughter and went to abroad alone.

After going abroad, she lived a life of indulgence and depravity. She met a foreigner. Under his influence, she touched things that she shouldn't touch. She end up dying in a foreign country.

She hadn't reached forty years old when she died.

When she woke up from her dream, Dong Li Li found herself in a cold sweat.

She remembered the scene in the dream. It felt so real like she had truly experienced it.

She felt aggrieved for the her in the dream. At the same time felt that she was too unpromising in the dream. For a man, she actually made herself like that!

She didn't want to end up like the dream. She stood up and washed her face. Seeing her red and swollen eyes in the mirror, she decided to give Wang Yan Sheng up today.

...

Buying a bicycle required fifty industrial coupons. With the joint efforts of Shen Family, Chu Family, and Qiao Zhen Min, the fifty industrial coupons were quickly gathered.

On August 1st, Qiao Family bought a Phoenix bicycle back.

Chapter 86


In mid-July, it was Lin Hui's mom, Wang Qiu Ying's birthday. Lin Family didn't hold a big banquet. Only prepared two tables of dishes and told her daughter to bring her children back to eat together.

Early in the morning, Lin Hui asked Qiao Zhen Jun to carry the prepared fabric and twenty or so eggs. Then she lead Da Qiao and little Dong Lin to maternal home.

Da Qiao supported her mom. Her eyes fell on the round and big belly and she couldn't help curiously asking, "Mom, how long will it take for the brothers to come out?"

Little Dong Lin swung his short legs and followed closely. He parroted like a lackey: "Yeah, when will they come out? The candies I've saved is going to melt!"

Because Da Qiao said that she would prepare gifts for her unborn brothers, the other children in the family readily followed suit and all got ready. The few little dumplings also joined in the fun.

Little Yi Ming liked to draw very much. So he chose to draw. Little Dong Lin originally wanted to show his younger brothers a set of "Kung Fu", but was told that his younger brothers wouldn't understand. So he could only save the candies to give to his younger brothers.

It was difficult for everyone to let him down again and couldn't tell him his younger brothers can't eat his candy.

Lin Hui watched the two lively and lovely children. The corners of her mouth curled up: "Soon. It's been more than seven months now. Younger siblings will come out in a month or so."

Da Qiao raised her head and smiled sweetly: "That's wonderful! Mom, I have prepared gifts for Younger Brothers. Just waiting for them to come out!"

"Elder Sister Da Qiao, what gift did you prepare. Can you tell me?" Little Dong Lin curiously asked.

Da Qiao shook her head: "No, it's a secret. You'll know when Younger Brothers come out."

Little Dong Lin: He fell out of favor before Younger Brothers were born. What will he do in the future?

Halfway there, they suddenly encountered Fang Xiao Juan.

Fang Xiao Juan had been waiting for Meng Hong Guang's letter. It should have arrived last week, but the letter hadn't come. She was ill at ease; fearing that Meng Hong Guang will break up with her.

Until yesterday, the letter still hadn't arrived. She couldn't wait any more. So she went to the post office in person. Unexpectedly, she really waited for its arrival. Meng Hong Guang's letter had just arrived and the postman hadn't deliver it yet. She collected the letter right there and then.

Because she didn't recognize words, she was in a hurry to go back and get Xiao Qiao read the letter to her. To her surprise, she bumped into Qiao Zhen Jun's family.

She saw how happy their family was. This scene stabbed her in the eye. But when she thought that she would soon be able to become an official's wife in the city, she snorted coldly and walked away from them with her chin up.

Lin Hui and Qiao Zhen Jun looked at each other. The latter said, "Let's go. Dad and Mom should be waiting for us."

Lin Hui nodded. She didn't take this matter to heart.

As soon as they entered Lin's house, Lin Hui's Eldest Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law immediately welcomed them in. Lin Family's children gathered around when they saw Da Qiao.

"Younger Sister Da Qiao, you are finally here. We are all waiting for you!"

"Yeah, we have prepared a lot of delicious food for you. Come in and eat!"

"Younger Sister Da Qiao is so beautiful. Skin is as white as tofu."

"I don't think tofu is as white and tender as Younger Sister Da Qiao!"

Everyone in the production team said that the feng shui of Lin Family was top-notch. Wang Qiu Ying gave birth to five sons in a row. Three of the five sons were married. And those three all gave birth to son. It made those who couldn't give birth to son green with envy.

But from young to old of Lin Family, they all wanted a delicate and sweet girl more. So, as soon as Da Qiao came over, it immediately became a little fairy entering the monk temple. Lin Family's group of boys found it extremely rare.

Little Dong Lin's red lips became a line and he shouted in a baby voice, "Elder Cousin Brother, Second Cousin Brother, Third Cousin Brother, don't you like me?"

Lin Family's Eldest Cousin Brother turned around and pinched his little face: "Of course I like you."

Look how perfunctory this attitude was!

Little Dong Lin pouted even deeper: "You guys go away. This is my elder sister. Mine!"

Lin Family's mischievous boys poked his cheeks: "You are right. Da Qiao is your elder sister, but she is also our younger sister!"

Little Dong Lin instantly became a little puffer fish.

Lin Hui felt relieved when she saw Lin Family's kids liked Da Qiao very much.

Eldest Sister-in-law supported her as she enviously remarked, "Everyone says it's hard to be a stepmother. If there is a stepdaughter as delicate and cute as Da Qiao, I would also like to be a stepmother!"

When Second Sister-in-law Lin heard this, she laughed and said, "Then Eldest Sister-in-law, hurry up and get a divorce with Eldest Brother!"

Everyone: "..."

Some people may not have any malicious intentions themselves, but whenever they opened their mouth, they either offended people or immediately killed the conversation.

Second Sister-in-law Lin was such a person.

Fortunately, Eldest Sister-in-law Lin had long been accustomed to her character and didn't mind it.

Lin Hui was at a pretty late stage of her pregnancy. On top of that, married out daughter was a guest when she returned to her maternal home. So this time, the few sister-in-laws didn't ask her to help. While Qiao Zhen Jun was dragged by the few brother-in-laws to chop wood.

Wang Qiu Ying saw that the few daughter-in-laws were busy in the kitchen and hurriedly pulled her daughter into her own room. In order not to make people suspect anything, she didn't close the door and window. Just her action was very sneakily.

She made sure that no one was outside before she crawled under the bed, ripped open a brick on the ground, and took out a wooden box from inside.

Wang Qiu Ying's mouth was so tight that even Lin Hui didn't know that her mom hid such a wooden box under the bed: "Mom, what are you hiding? It couldn't be gold?"

She was just joking, but when her mom opened the wooden box and took out the contents, she was stunned. It was really gold!

It wasn't a gold bar or a gold ring. It was a round gold ball at the size of the little finger. It should have been hidden for many years.

There weren't many golden balls. Only eight in total. If it was converted into money, it would be a lot of money.

Lin Hui was shocked: "Mom, where did you get these things?"

Wang Qiu Ying spoke: "These are what your grandma left to me. Your grandma used to be the personal maid of an official's daughter. The two of them grew up together and had a good relationship. Later, when the world changed. The official family wanted to escape. Your grandma didn't want to follow, so the official's daughter gave some gold to your grandma. When I got married, your grandma split some gold with me."

Lin Hui knew that Grandma used to be a maid. But it was the first time she heard about the gold: "Mom, why haven't you exchange the gold after so many years?"

Wang Qiu Ying rolled her eyes at her daughter: "What haven't? Otherwise, where do you think the things in this family come from? It's just Mom want to tell you that no matter how much a woman loves her husband and children, she should leave a way out for herself. With all this private fund, I have nothing to be of even if your dad want to divorce me!"

Lin Hui was amused by her mom's behavior: "If my dad knew that you hid so much gold just to guard against him, he would probably be pissed off!"

Wang Qiu Ying slapped her daughter: "Take it seriously. You married twice before, I was afraid that you did this out oof impulse. So I didn't give you the gold. Now it seems that Qiao Family treats you very well. I can rest assured to give the gold to you."

Of course, it was impossible to give everything to Lin Hui. She had five sons and four-five grandchildren. Of course, she can't leave nothing behind. She took two small golden balls out to give her daughter.

Lin Hui didn't want it. She pushed the little golden balls back and said, "Mom, keep these things for yourself. I don't need them."

She had been married twice. Her family had prepared a lot of dowry for her. As a person, she must know how to be grateful and contented. She can no longer take the things from the family. Otherwise, her few sister-in-laws will be displeased when they know about it.

Wang Qiu Ying didn't allow her to refuse and stuff the little golden balls back to her: "Take it! Zhen Jun's work has been messed up be another. You can take the gold and exchange it for money. Or directly gift it to someone and use connections. See if you can get the job back."

It went without saying that she, the mother-in-law, was delighted and proud that her son-in-law was able to work as an employee in the town. Unexpectedly, he was driven back after only a few months. Recently, many people seen it as a joke in the production team.

There were also some people who came to her deliberately took a jab. They all got retorted back by her one by one. Still, she couldn't swallow it.

Of course, it wasn't all about fighting for this face. But if Son-in-law can become an employee, her daughter and unborn grandson will have security in the future. What's more, she only had this one daughter. It went without saying she hoped that her life will get better and better.

Lin Hui held the little golden ball in her hand. Her eyes were a little sour. She hugged her mom and expressed, "Mom, thank you. It's great to be your daughter!"

Wang Qiu Ying patted her daughter twice before gently pushing her away, "Okay, don't be mushy. Quickly put the things away. Don't let your sister-in-laws see it."

Lin Hui no longer hesitate. In the future, when the family situation improved, she would find opportunities to be filial to her mom.

Lin Family's daughter-in-laws were diligent and swift people. Soon, they prepared two tables of good dishes. One for adults and one for children.

Lin Family's daughter-in-laws' cooking skills can't compare with Xue Chuan's. Actually, it wasn't as delicious as Da Qiao's cooking. Still, Lin Family was full of sincerity. There were three meat dishes on each table. Everyone ate it with relish.

Fang Xiao Juan took the letter and returned to the thatched hut. Seeing Xiao Qiao feeding the chickens, she quickly called her in: "Come here and read this letter for me."

As soon as Xiao Qiao heard her mom got the letter, she threw the things inside and wiped her hands clean before unfolding the letter.

Fang Xiao Juan's heart was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Once Xiao Qiao opened the letter, she urged, "What did it say? Did your Uncle Meng say anything about cut ties with that calamity?"

Xiao Qiao frowned and responded, "Uncle Meng said, since your ties have cut off, then leave it. But... he made another request."

"What request?"

"He want me to cut ties with Qiao Family." After Xiao Qiao said this, there was an indescribable discomfort in her heart.

When Fang Xiao Juan heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief. She raised her eyes to watch Xiao Qiao's reaction. Raising her eyebrows, she said, "Why? You don't want to?"

Xiao Qiao pursed her lips and replied, "It's not a question of willingness or not. I don't think it's necessary."

She didn't like Qiao Family very much. Qiao Family had said in front of her that they wanted her to sever the relationship, but as long as they didn't write a tie-severance letter, Qiao Family still had the obligation to support her.

What happened to Wang Xin Sheng last time told her not to look at the beauty in front of her, but to leave a retreat for herself. So she didn't want to cut off her escape route, Qiao Family.

If something unexpected happens in Hu City, or if Meng Hong Guang is proved to be unreliable afterwards, she can still go back to Qiao's house and get them to support herself. But once a tie-severance letter, this retreat will be gone.

Therefore, she was reluctant in her heart. However, it wasn't easy to say it in front of her mom.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking! You don't want to cut off this backup road, Qiao Family! You treat Qiao Family as a backup road, but would Qiao Family treat you as their child? Do you think if something really happened, they will go all the way to Hu City for you? Don't daydream!"

Fang Xiao Juan pierced Xiao Qiao's daydreams with a sharp jab.

She was worried that Meng Hong Guang would ask her to kidnap Da Qiao and so on. Now she heard that it was just cutting off the ties between Xiao Qiao and Qiao Family, there was no problem at all.

Seeing that Xiao Qiao was unwilling at this time, she felt displeased at once.

This child was really sneaky. While wanting to follow her to the city to enjoy happiness, she want to keep Qiao Family as a backup at the same time. She will reap all the benefits!

Xiao Qiao pursed her lips and remained silent.

Fang Xiao Juan could put down an ultimatum, "If you don't want to cut ties with Qiao Family, then you can stay in the production team. I will go to Hu City alone!"

When Xiao Qiao heard this, she knew that she had no other choice: "I know. Since this is the case, then I will cut off the relationship with Qiao family."

No better day than today. Fang Xiao Juan was worried that Xiao Qiao would do something wrong, so she took her to Qiao's house on the spot.

Halfway there, they happened to bump into Lin Hui's group who had returned from her maternal house.

Lin Hui sighed her heart how 'enemies meet on narrow road'.

Da Qiao glanced at her mom without saying a word. The group prepared to walk away as if they didn't see them.

Unexpectedly, Fang Xiao Juan halted them: "Qiao Zhen Jun, stop right there!"

Qiao Zhen Jun didn't turn around. He kept supporting Lin Hui forward.

Fang Xiao Juan gritted her teeth angrily and loudly yelled, "Are you deaf? I told you to stop. Didn't you hear? I want Xiao Qiao to cut ties with you and Qiao family!"

Qiao Zhen Jun stopped this time.

Da Qiao was also shocked by her mom's words.

She didn't understand what severing the relationship was before. After Elder Brother Huo Chi explained it to her in detail and gave her many examples, she understood.

After understanding it, she felt a little depressed. Since her family treated her so well, she left this sorrow behind her.

She didn't expect Younger Sister to cut ties with her family!

Nearby villagers heard the commotion outside and immediately ran over to watch.

Qiao Zhen Jun didn't look at Fang Xiao Juan. His eyes were on Xiao Qiao. He solemnly uttered: "Xiao Qiao, you are smart since you young. I think you should understand what it means to cut off the relationship. Do you really want to cut off ties with Qiao Family?"

The last time his parents had warned Xiao Qiao in private. He only found out afterwards. He felt very helpless after knowing. But as long as he didn't really cut off the relationship, Xiao Qiao was still his child in his heart.

Everyone was shocked and excited when they heard Qiao Zhen Jun's words.

"What? Are you going to cut off ties again? Last time it was Da Qiao. This time it Is Xiao Qiao. Tsk tsk tsk, your Qiao Family is really interesting!"

"Ain't that right? Within these ten miles and eight towns, no one cuts off ties so frequently!"

"I can't find a family with so many children divorced!"

In everyone's eyes, even though Qiao Family latched on high branch and the family was rich, they were still weirdo!

A family of five children and three divorced. Old Second Qiao was even more bizarre. A pair of twin daughters, each cut off ties with their parents. Tsk tsk tsk, this gossip was enough for them to chew fr a long time!

Xiao Qiao lowered her head and explained, "Uncle Meng from Hu City said if I want to be his daughter, I must cut ties with Qiao Family."

At this point, Xiao Qiao still wanted to leave a way out for herself as much as possible. She wanted everyone to know that she was forced to cut off the relationship.

Sure enough, everyone heard her words and a discussion emerged. Majority expressed they could understand why Meng Hong Guang made such a request.

"It's understandable why Educated Youth Meng do this. No one wants to raise children for others!"

"That's right. A lot of effort devoted in raising them up, only to be taken back in by Qiao Family when she grow up. Wouldn't it be a waste of effort?"

Some people curled their lips and sneered, "Then you can not go to Hu City. Wouldn't it be better to stay at Qiao's house?"

Xiao Qiao looked up at her dad with teary eyes before lowering her head again. She appeared aggrieved and pitiful.

Fang Xiao Juan snorted: "You think she doesn't want to. Qiao Family doesn't welcome Xiao Qiao. Last time, they told Xiao Qiao straight up not to step into Qiao's house in the future. Do you think this is something a grandmother can do?"

"Ah, did Xiu Zhi really say that?" Everyone was shocked.

Fang Xiao Juan harrumphed again: "Would I lie to you? They clearly agreed before..."

Fang Xiao Juan wanted to make Qiao Family's promise to give meat and eggs three times a month, but later went back on their word known to everyone, but was stopped by Xiao Qiao.

"Mom, don't say it anymore!" Xiao Qiao said with tears in her eyes, "It's because I'm not as likeable as Elder Sister. It's my fault that Grandmother doesn't like me. Don't blame Grandmother."

"Oh, this child is so sensible and obedient. Seeing her like this makes my heart sour."

"Qiao Xiu Zhi used to blame Fang Xiao Juan for being biased. Isn't she biased too? She will give everything good to Da Qiao, while she is so strict with Xiao Qiao. She will regret it in the future!"

Qiao Zhen Min didn't want to listen to other people talking about his parents. He asked Xiao Qiao again, "I'll ask you again, do you really want to cut ties with Qiao Family?"

"Dad, you have Auntie Hui, Elder Sister, and other people by your side. But Mom only have me by her side. So I want to accompany Mom. I'm sorry Dad..."

As she said that, the tears that were in her eyes now rolled down at the same time as the last word fell.

If this acting skills were in the modern times, she was truly as a proper actress award's contestant!

"In that case, let's go to the production team to write a tie-severance letter now." Qiao Zhen Jun sighed. Then he turned to Da Qiao and told, "Accompany Mom home first."

Da Qiao glanced at her biological mother and younger sister. She nodded and said softly, "I see."

Lin Hui swept a glance at Qiao Zhen Jun and whispered, "The children and I are at home waiting for you to come back."

When Qiao Zhenjun heard this, the depression in his heart dissipated a lot: "I know. Quickly go back with the children."

Fang Xiao Juan took in the sight of the two of them being lovey-dovey. Her body was full of discomfort. She said sharply: "Go home if you want to be lovey-dovey. In front of so many people, you are shameless. I feel ashamed for you!"

The crowd laughed.

Lin Hui's face flushed red.

Qiao Zhen Jun raised his head and fiercely glared at her. Just now, he still felt a little pity for Xiao Qiao. Now it had completely dissipated.

He strode toward the production team. Under the witness of the few cadres in the production team, they wrote four tie-severance letters to sever the father-daughter relationship like last time.

Fang Xiao Juan took the tie-severance letter and left without looking back.

This matter had once again become the topic during the production team's meal. Qiao Family's limelight was unparalleled for a while.

Since old woman Fang's youngest grandson died, her mental state had deteriorated a lot. She wanted her daughter to take a grandson to Hu City before, but now she didn't want to.

A few days later, Fang Xiao Juan took the letter of introduction issued by the community and Xiao Qiao. Under the envious eyes of everyone, she officially set foot on the road to Hu City.

The villagers were very envious, especially those widows. They all fantasized that one day they can find a powerful man like Fang Xiao Juan to remarry.

For Qiao Family, their ears became cleaner and their body became a lot relaxed as soon as Fang Xiao Juan's mother and daughter left.

...

Less than five days after Fang Xiao Juan left, Tian Family and Qiu Family met with mishap.

On the day of the mishap, Tian Jian Ming and Mother Tian were discussing Tian Jian Ming's marriage at Qiu's house. These days, it wasn't easy to buy the four major wedding gift. Most people can't even buy one of them.

But for Qiu Xin Yong, this matter wasn't a matter at all. With a wave of his hand, he quickly bought it for his nephew.

Mother Tian couldn't keep a lid on her delight: "Jian Ming, you must thank your maternal uncle for your incident this time. In the future, you have to be filial to your maternal uncle, do you hear me?"

Tian Jian Ming smiling replied: "Mom, I know without you saying. You might not like to hear this, but Maternal Uncle is more closer to me than you and Dad in my heart!"

When Qiu Xin Yong heard what his nephew said, he laughed with satisfaction.

At this moment, there was a loud noise from outside. The door burst open. Sounds of panicked footsteps came in from outside.

"This... what happened?" Tian Jian Ming's grandma was so frightened that she almost had a heart attack.

Mother Tian hurried over and hugged her mother. She comforted: "Mom, don't worry. With Second Younger Brother here, it will be taken care of!"

Qiu Xin Yong stood up with a dark face. He was about to go to see which b*stard dared to come to his house when he saw a group of people running in. Without saying a word, they stepped forward and grabbed him.

The man who grabbed him was wearing a green suit uniform with a gun on his body. He was from the armed forces!

Qiu Xin Yong's heart rapidly beated: "You...what are you doing?"

Seeing these people, he knew something wasn't right.

A man who looked like a military official walked in. Looking down at him, he spoke: "Qiu Xin Yong, the municipal committee has received the report material about you. We had sent someone to investigate and prove that all the report material is true! Someone come. Search inside and outside of the house cleanly!"

The female relatives in the house screamed in fright. Tian Jian Ming's grandma fainted.

When these people grabbed his maternal uncle, Tian Jian Ming quickly shrank to a corner. His heart beat like thunder.
