Chapter 78
As soon as Da Qiao entered, the two little dumpling Yi Ming and Dong Lin trotted over and said, "Elder Sister Da Qiao, Uncle Wang is going to take us to the town to take pictures!"
Da Qiao blinked her big eyes and asked, "What is taking pictures?"
This sentence instantly stopped the two little dumplings. Confusion spun around in their small eyes.
Seeing them like this, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Lin Hui came over and explained, "Taking pictures is like drawing your face with a camera, but it's not the same as painting. The pictures taken by the camera are exactly the real people."
"Wow, it sounds amazing!" Da Qiao expressed her shock. There was such a magical thing in this world!
"Amazing! Sounds amazing!" The two followers, Little Yi Ming and little Dong Lin quickly echoed.
In fact, they didn't understand at all how awesome it was. Anyway, since Elder Sister Da Qiao said it was amazing, it must be amazing.
Wang Yan Sheng came over and asked the children, "Then do you want to go?"
"Want!"
"I want to going!"
"I'm also going!"
With so many children talking over each other, the roof was about to be overturned.
Seeing that little Wan'er didn't answer, Lin Hui teased her: "Little Wan'er, what about you? Do you want to go?"
Little Wan'er pursed her lips and hid behind Da Qiao like a shy little animal.
During this time, little Wan'er's temperament had changed a lot. Although she won't interact with people like a normal child, she can at least react to other people's words. On top of that, she liked sticking to Da Qiao.
That was to say, Da Qiao had three tails now. Her team was obviously still growing.
Da Qiao held her younger sister's hand and softly asked her, "Little Wan'er, do you want to go with Elder Sister?"
Little Wan'er didn't know where she was going or what she was going to do. She would be very happy as long as she could be with her elder sister. So she nodded lightly and whispered, "Want."
If Qiao Zhen Min saw little Wan'er like this, he would be so happy that he would cry.
Because there were too many children going, Qiao Xiu Zhi had to follow. If not the two adults, Qiao Hong Xia and Wang Yan Sheng, wasn't enough to take care of them.
Xue Chuan came over to his wife and said, "We have never taken photos together. Later, let's make up for our wedding photo."
At the beginning, Qiao Xiu Zhi didn't plan to take pictures. But now after hearing her husband's suggestion, she immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll go in and wash up. Can't be covered in dust all over."
Qiao Zhen Guo saw that his parents were going and wanted to join in too. Unfortunately there would be no one left at home then. So he was forced to stay.
Seeing that everyone went to take pictures, Wan Chun Ju felt very uncomfortable on the inside: "Does their conscience not hurt leaving me at home alone?"
Qiao Zhen Guo sighed, "Come to think of this of it, it's all your fault. You had to have your confinement now out of all time when everyone is going to take pictures. I don't even get to go!"
Was it her decision when to have a baby?
Wan Chun Ju was almost pissed off to death by her man's words. She took a deep breath and said, "Zhen Guo, we haven't taken a wedding photo before. Why don't we take one when I'm done with my confinement?"
Qiao Zhen Guo glanced at her figure. She had gained weight again. He shook his head: "Forget it."
What did this mean? Was he disdaining her bad look?
Wan Chun Ju almost vomited blood!
The group set off. When they passed the health center, Qiao Hong Xia spoke, "I don't know if Qiao Qiao is still in there. Why don't we go in and let her know?"
Although Chen Qiao Qiao didn't care about her daughter, little Wan'er, it was better to tell her since they were taking little Wan'er away. Least to avoid conflict later.
Qiao Xiu Zhi nodded: "Then you go over. We'll wait for you here."
Qiao Hong Xia acknowledged, took two steps, and found Wang Yan Sheng following her.
"I'll accompany you there." Wang Yan Sheng looked at her and told.
Qiao Hong Xia's eyes drooped. She looked at the ground and said, "It's only two steps away. What need is there for accompaniment?"
Wang Yan Sheng's ears warmed: "Actually, I want to say a few more words to you."
He will return to the army tomorrow. The separation may last until their marriage. So he had to seize every opportunity to interact with her.
When Qiao Hong Xia heard his words, the corner of her mouth raised slightly. Her heart felt as sweetened as eating honey.
When they reached the clinic, they surprisingly found the door was closed. One must know that the door of this clinic was rarely closed.
Qiao Hong Xia went up and knocked twice. She shouted, "Is anyone inside?"
The two people inside who were deep in their fight, heard the shouts and almost rolled off the bed in fright.
Chen Qiao Qiao grabbed the sheet. She was so nervous that she almost cried: "That's my third sister's voice! What should I do? Did she find something?"
Tian Jian Ming got off the bed and comforted her while putting on clothes: "Don't scare yourself. Put on your clothes first. Don't come out yet. I'll go out and see what's going on?"
Chen Qiao Qiao nodded with a pale face. Tremblingly, she got up from the bed and put on clothes. Her body was covered with hickeys.
Tian Jian Ming went out, pretending to have just been woken up, and opened the door: "Where are you unwell?"
Qiao Hong Xia answered, "We aren't here to see the doctor. We are Chen Qiao Qiao's family. Is she inside?"
Tian Jian Ming yawned again, shook his head and said, "Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. The clinic got half day off. She didn't come."
As soon as these words fell, he noticed that next to Qiao Hong Xia was a man whose gaze stared passed him and landed on the table inside. He turned around and followed his line of sight. Two glutinous rice dumplings stood out on the table. These were brought over by Chen Qiao Qiao just now.
Though he groaned in his heart, he quickly calmed down: "Oh, that's weird. Where did these rice glutinous dumplings come from?"
Qiao Hong Xia spoke: "My fifth sister-in-law said that you weren't going back to celebrate the festival with your family today. So she brought two glutinous rice dumplings from home for you. She never returned. I thought she was in the health center."
Tian Jian Ming showed a grateful expression: "That explains it. Thank you so much! No one came to see the doctor today, so I went to take a nap after lunch. Maybe she came in, saw me resting, put the things down, and went back. Maybe she stumbled somewhere."
Qiao Hong Xia nodded: "Since she's not here, then forget it."
After speaking, she raised her head and glanced at Wang Yan Sheng. The two turned to leave.
Just as they turned around, there was a "bang" coming from inside. As if something had been knocked to the ground.
The two subconsciously turned to look back.
A flash of panic flashed on Tian Jian Ming's face. He said with an embarrassed smile: "The mice in this clinic are really getting more and more rampant. Later, I will tell Leader and ask him to bring a cat over here to raise."
Qiao Hong Xia glanced at him before leaving with Wang Yan Sheng.
Tian Jian Ming was greatly relieved when he saw them leave. He closed the door and walked back: "What happened to you just now? They almost discovered!"
Chen Qiao Qiao replied with red eyes: "I accidentally bumped into the table. Is my third sister gone?"
Tian Jian Ming nodded as recalled Qiao Hong Xia's bright facial features. His heart was a little turbulent: "Your third sister-in-law has been living in her parents' home since the divorce. Doesn't she plan to marry?"
Chen Qiao Qiao had a slender figure and dull facial features. If he hadn't found a good target, he would definitely not take a fancy to such tasteless woman like her.
Compared with that woman just now, that woman had a good-looking face as well as a very hot body. Especially those bulging peaches. If he can kiss them, he must be in ecstasy!
Chen Qiao Qiao didn't know what he was thinking and indifferently said: "She is engaged to the production leader's younger brother. Just today."
Tian Jian Ming paused for a moment. He remembered the man standing behind her just now and immediately dismissed the idea of targeting Qiao Hong Xia.
The man just now had such an imposing air. At one glance, one can tell he wasn't easy to provoke. He liked to provoke women everywhere, but he cared about his life more. So forget it.
Chen Qiao Qiao tightly grabbed the corner of her clothes. There was struggle on her face: "We... let's not do any more in the future. I can't wrong my husband any more!"
Tian Jian Ming grabbed her hands and kissed them: "I understand your difficulties. I can only grumble that I didn't get to know you earlier. I respect your choice. We will only be comrades in the future!"
Chen Qiao Qiao bit her lips and looked at him with tears in her eyes. It felt like her heart was torn in half.
On the one hand, she didn't want to divorce. She still had feelings for Qiao Zhen Min. On the other hand, she was trapped in Tian Jian Ming's gentleness and wished to be with him day and night!
In the end, she ran away with red eyes. Qiao Hong Xia dared to divorce because she had a pair of parents who supported her. If she dared to divorce, her parents would definitely cut ties with her!
Wang Yan Sheng and Qiao Hong Xia walked back.
Wang Yan Sheng stated with a serious expression, "That man was lying just now!"
Qiao Hong Xia froze for a moment: "Lie? What lie did he say?"
Wang Yan Sheng said: "When he spoke, his eyes were dodging around and his expression was flustered. It's obvious that he was lying. There should be someone hiding in the room. Not mice."
Qiao Hong Xia let out an "ah". Then her cheeks turned red: "It's heard that Doctor Tian has a match arranged by his family. It may be his fiancee who came to see him."
Wang Yan Sheng nodded. Both of them thought Tian Jian Ming's fiancee was hidden inside.
Nowadays, even when men and women were engaged, they shouldn't be too intimate. Otherwise they will have a bad reputation. They can understand why Tian Jian Ming lied just now.
...
Because there were too many children and it was getting late, they caught a ride from the community to the town.
They were lucky. The bus arrived in the town shortly upon their arrival. Adult cost two dimes, teen like Qiao Dong He were half the price, one dime. Little Wan'er and other small ones cost no money. Of course, they couldn't occupy a seat.
Wang Yan Sheng was very perceptive. He rushed to pay the money.
Qiao Hong Xia glanced at him and said with a blushing face, "I'll return the money to you later."
Wang Yan Sheng's gaze was burning: "My money is your money. You can spend it however you want. You don't have to give it back to me!"
Qiao Hong Xia blushed even more.
The conductor usually don't have good attitude. She had quarreled with her man last night. This was why she feel uncomfortable at the sight of others throwing dog food. She bellowed in a rough voice: "What are you doing? Don't want to sit, then get off!"
These days, public sector employees had horrible attitude. This was no surprise to everyone.
Wang Yan Sheng raised his head and gave her a cold stare. The conductor shivered a bit, like chicken that was strangled by the neck. She did not dare to squawk.
The road to the town was bumpy. After an hour, they finally arrived at the town after an hour.
When Da Qiao got out of the vehicle, she immediately told the three little tails: "You three little ones must follow the adults. You mustn't run around alone, understand?"
"Understood. We will closely follow Elder Sister Da Qiao!" Little Dong Lin and little Yi Ming said in unison.
It was unknown what little Wan'er thought of. Her body shivered a little and she clenched her elder sister's hand tightly.
Qiao Hong Xia directed to her parents, "Da Qiao act more and more like a big sister."
Qiao Xiu Zhi and Xue Chuan looked at each other and smiled. Both saw pride in each other's eyes.
There was only one photo studio in the town. The scale is very small. Only one small room. When Qiao Family group went over, the owner of the photo studio was idly catching flies.
Taking a picture was a dime for each print. Most people can't even eat enough these days. So very few people were willing to pay for this.
When the boss saw that there was a business approaching his door, he suddenly became energetic: "Are you here to take a family photo?"
Qiao Xiu Zhi nodded: "I want to take family photo, wedding photo, individual photo, and group photo."
"Okay. No problem. Come on in." When the boss heard that they were going to take so many pictures, the smile on his face became even brighter.
The boss got them to take a whole group photo first. Then other photos can be taken after this was done. It wasn't convenient to have so many people inside.
When taking the whole group photo, Wang Yan Sheng was excluded. Although he was already engaged to Qiao Hong Xia, he wasn't married yet. If something cropped up in the middle, should the photo be kept or thrown.
Wang Yan Sheng looked at them with a little grievance in his heart. He vowed to himself that he would definitely join the family portrait next year.
Boss told them to get to their positions according to his guidance and called out: "Everyone smile for me. Like normal That boy, your expression is too exaggerated. Relax."
The boy pointed out by the boss was none other than An Ping.
Everyone turned their heads to look at An Ping and saw that he was grinning. His expression was stiff. He looked very funny. Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Qiao Dong Ying patted him on the shoulder: "Relax. See how I'll sort you out if the photo comes out hideous!"
"Second Elder Sister, it's not that I don't want to relax. I'm really nervous!" An Ping said with a stiff expression.
This was his first time taking pictures. He really wanted to look good. But the more he wanted to take a good picture, the more nervous he became. This was the result.
Qiao Dong Ying spun her eyes, stretched out her hand and pinched his arm fiercely, and An Ping yelled.
"Kacha..."
The boss took the opportunity to press the photo button: "Okay, okay. Children go out and wait for a while. Next is the wedding photo."
Nowadays, people liked to wear green military uniforms to take wedding photos. Qiao Xiu Xhi didn't want to wear them. But Xue Chuan said to take two photos. One in the clothes they were wearing now, and the other in green military uniforms. This should make up for the past regrets.
Qiao Xiu Zhi had always been reluctant to go against her husband's words. So she nodded without any hesitation.
The boss beamed even more happily and quickly took out the green uniforms for them to put on. By the way, there was also a little red flower. The costume was very complete.
"Okay, the two of you, put your heads together. Oh, yes, that's it. Don't move..."
"Kacha!"
Soon Qiao Xiu Zhi and Xue Chuan finished their shoot. Because there were too many people, they took Da Qiao and others to buy things nearby.
Wang Yan Sheng suggested to Qiao Hong Xia to take an individual photo, another photo of her holding little Yi Ming, and another photo of the three of them.
Qiao Hong Xia felt that this was a waste of money. She felt taking one group photo was enough. However, Wang Yan Sheng insisted. So Qiao Hong Xia had no choice but to agree with a blushing face.
When it came to group of three photo, Qiao Hong Xia was like a red apple and stood half an arm's distance from Wang Yan Sheng.
The boss frowned as soon as he saw this: "What's going on? Why take a group photo while standing so far? Get closer, get closer. Aren't you one family? What are you shy about?"
Once these words dropped, two people came in from outside: "Master, we want to take pictures."
When Qiao Hong Xia heard the voice, she frowned and looked up...
It was none other than her ex-husband Zhao Jie Fang and his current wife Xu Gui Ying.
Qiao Hong Xia's face instantly sank and muttered, "What bad luck!"
How can they encounter this pair of enemies every time they came to town!? What kind of fate was this!
Wang Yan Sheng had seen Zhao Jie Fang once from a distance back then. Although he looked a lot older now, he still recognized him at a glance.
Zhao Jie Fang and Xu Gui Ying didn't expect to meet Qiao Hong Xia and her son here.
After Xu Gui Ying met Qiao Hong Xia in the town last time, she had a fight with Zhao Jie Fang at the supply and demand cooperative. After returning home, Zhao Jie Fang became more and more indifferent to her. He called Qiao Hong Xia's name a few times in his dreams.
If she hadn't gotten Mother-in-law to put pressure on him, he might have gone to Qili production team to find them mother and son!
She was so furious that she wanted to kill that vixen Qiao Hong Xia. They were already divorced and Zhao Jie Fang was still obsessed with her!
Seeing her at this moment, love rival's jealousy flared up.
She shook off Zhao Jie Fang's hand, walked over and said, "Oh, isn't this Hong Xia? Are you guys here to take pictures?"
Qiao Hong Xia pulled little Yi Ming behind her and coldly stated, "Don't come near me!"
Xu Gui Ying smiled proudly: "Look at your guilty conscience. I'm not a tiger. I won't eat you. What are you afraid of?"
Qiao Hong Xia retorted: "I'm not afraid of you. But your mouth is so stinky that it makes me want to vomit!"
"You……!"
Xu Gui Ying's face turned red and white with anger. Her chest heaved violently.
"This comrade, you should be Qiao Hong Xia's blind date, right?"
Her eyes suddenly turned and fell on Wang Yan Sheng. After looking up and down, she couldn't help but feel jealous. She was also a second-hand good. How could that vixen, Qiao Hong Xia be so lucky?
Wang Yan Sheng nodded: "Yes. What has it to do with you?"
Xu Gui Ying smiled so deep that her face wrinkled: "Then do you know why Zhao Family had divorced Qiao Hong Xia?"
Wang Yan Sheng shook his head: "Isn't it because her ex-husband is a cowardly trash and Zhao Family is despicable and shameless?"
Zhao Jie Fang's face flushed with anger. He really wanted to go up and beat the man. However, he was half a head shorter than him when he stood in front of the man. His body was obviously not strong enough, so he swallowed it down.
Xu Gui Ying exaggeratedly smiled: "Of course not. Zhao Family divorced this woman because she had an affair behind her ex-husband's back. Have you seen the child behind her? The child neither looks like her nor like her ex-husband. Clearly, the child looks like her lover. That's why Zhao Family divorced her. I advise you not to be deceived. Sooner you will be cuckold by such a woman if you marry her home!"
"Shut up!" Qiao Hong Xia flushed with fury. She wanted to go up and smoke Xu Gui Ying but was stopped by Wang Yan Sheng.
She looked back at him in disbelief.
Seeing this, Xu Gui Ying thought that the man had paid heed to her advice and instantly let out a pig laughed out a pig snort.
Wang Yan Sheng pulled her behind him and said in a low voice, "Don't get your hands dirty. I'll do it!"
After he finished speaking, he strode up, and grabbed Xu Gui Ying's neck. Exerting his strength, he actually lifted her up!
Xu Gui Ying's feet were off the ground. Her neck was pinched. It became difficult to breathe.
Her eyes popped out as big as bull's eyes. She panickily looked at demon-like man in front of her: "You, you let me go...cough...Zhao Jie Fang..."
What kind of cowardly trash did she married? She was going to be strangled to death and he can still stand there like not happened!
Damn, no wonder Qiao Hong Xia wanted to divorce him. She just picked up the garbage that Qiao Hong Xia didn't want!
Xu Gui Ying's face turned white from being strangled. She vigorously kicked her legs.
The boss was so frightened that his face turned pale: "What are you doing? Comrade, if you don't let go, a life would be endangered!"
Little Yi Ming was a little frightened. He opened his small eyes, but he was brave enough not to cry.
Qiao Hong Xia comforted her son before running over to stop Wang Yan Sheng: "Forget it. It's not worth getting your hands dirty for this kind of person!"
Wang Yan Sheng threw Xu Gui Ying to the ground. Looking down at her, he stated, "Hong Xia is now my fiancee. If you guys dare to pester her again in the future, or speak ill of her, it's best not to let me hear. Otherwise, you won't be as lucky next time!"
Xu Gui Ying was a person who bullied good and feared evil. She shook her head in fright: "I don't dare. I don't dare anymore!"
Wang Yan Sheng turned his gaze to Zhao Jie Fang, "Remember this. Although you are little Yi Ming's biological father, you can't harass them until little Yi Ming is eighteen. If not, I will let your Zhao Family have no place in the Red Maple production team! You'd better not question what I say. I have the ability to do what I say!"
Zhao Jie Fang's face turned red and white. His hands were clenched into fists.
He wanted to say why. Even though he and Hong Xia divorced, little Yi Ming was his son. Why couldn't he see him?
But this man stood there like a domineering mountain. His aura was so overwhelming that he couldn't breathe. He opened his mouth many times, but he didn't utter a word.
Xu Gui Ying got up from the ground and spat on Zhao Jie Fang's face: "I want to divorce you!"
Zhao Jie Fang stared at Qiao Hong Xia with a mouthful of pit on his face before turning his head to the side. In the end, he raised his hand to wipe his face, turned, and walked out.
After Zhao Jie Fang left, Qiao Hong Xia said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you just now."
Wang Yan Sheng lowered his head to her: "I said I would take good care of you mother and son. Have confidence in me."
Qiao Hong Xia: "I won't doubt you anymore!"
Later on, Qiao Xiu Zhi found out about it. She nodded and said, "It's a good thing that old Third Wang scared them. This way Zhao Family won't come to pester you mother and son."
After taking the photos, they went to the supply and demand cooperative to buy things. Then, they made way to the food factory to visit Qiao Zhen Jun. After that, they caught a ride back to the production team.
The next day, Wang Yan Sheng packed up and went back to the army.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter. In a blink of an eye, it was time for the primary school graduation exam.
At this time, Chen Qiao Qiao noticed her period hadn't arrived for more than a month.
As soon as Da Qiao entered, the two little dumpling Yi Ming and Dong Lin trotted over and said, "Elder Sister Da Qiao, Uncle Wang is going to take us to the town to take pictures!"
Da Qiao blinked her big eyes and asked, "What is taking pictures?"
This sentence instantly stopped the two little dumplings. Confusion spun around in their small eyes.
Seeing them like this, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Tian Jian Ming went out, pretending to have just been woken up, and opened the door: "Where are you unwell?"
Qiao Hong Xia answered, "We aren't here to see the doctor. We are Chen Qiao Qiao's family. Is she inside?"
Tian Jian Ming yawned again, shook his head and said, "Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. The clinic got half day off. She didn't come."

Wang Yan Sheng was very perceptive. He rushed to pay the money.
Qiao Hong Xia glanced at him and said with a blushing face, "I'll return the money to you later."
Wang Yan Sheng's gaze was burning: "My money is your money. You can spend it however you want. You don't have to give it back to me!"
Qiao Hong Xia blushed even more.
The conductor usually don't have good attitude. She had quarreled with her man last night. This was why she feel uncomfortable at the sight of others throwing dog food. She bellowed in a rough voice: "What are you doing? Don't want to sit, then get off!"
These days, public sector employees had horrible attitude. This was no surprise to everyone.
Wang Yan Sheng raised his head and gave her a cold stare. The conductor shivered a bit, like chicken that was strangled by the neck. She did not dare to squawk.
The road to the town was bumpy. After an hour, they finally arrived at the town after an hour.
When Da Qiao got out of the vehicle, she immediately told the three little tails: "You three little ones must follow the adults. You mustn't run around alone, understand?"
"Understood. We will closely follow Elder Sister Da Qiao!" Little Dong Lin and little Yi Ming said in unison.
It was unknown what little Wan'er thought of. Her body shivered a little and she clenched her elder sister's hand tightly.
Qiao Hong Xia directed to her parents, "Da Qiao act more and more like a big sister."
Qiao Xiu Zhi and Xue Chuan looked at each other and smiled. Both saw pride in each other's eyes.
There was only one photo studio in the town. The scale is very small. Only one small room. When Qiao Family group went over, the owner of the photo studio was idly catching flies.
Taking a picture was a dime for each print. Most people can't even eat enough these days. So very few people were willing to pay for this.
When the boss saw that there was a business approaching his door, he suddenly became energetic: "Are you here to take a family photo?"
Qiao Xiu Zhi nodded: "I want to take family photo, wedding photo, individual photo, and group photo."
"Okay. No problem. Come on in." When the boss heard that they were going to take so many pictures, the smile on his face became even brighter.
The boss got them to take a whole group photo first. Then other photos can be taken after this was done. It wasn't convenient to have so many people inside.
When taking the whole group photo, Wang Yan Sheng was excluded. Although he was already engaged to Qiao Hong Xia, he wasn't married yet. If something cropped up in the middle, should the photo be kept or thrown.
Wang Yan Sheng looked at them with a little grievance in his heart. He vowed to himself that he would definitely join the family portrait next year.
Boss told them to get to their positions according to his guidance and called out: "Everyone smile for me. Like normal That boy, your expression is too exaggerated. Relax."
The boy pointed out by the boss was none other than An Ping.
Everyone turned their heads to look at An Ping and saw that he was grinning. His expression was stiff. He looked very funny. Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Qiao Dong Ying patted him on the shoulder: "Relax. See how I'll sort you out if the photo comes out hideous!"
"Second Elder Sister, it's not that I don't want to relax. I'm really nervous!" An Ping said with a stiff expression.
This was his first time taking pictures. He really wanted to look good. But the more he wanted to take a good picture, the more nervous he became. This was the result.
Qiao Dong Ying spun her eyes, stretched out her hand and pinched his arm fiercely, and An Ping yelled.
"Kacha..."
The boss took the opportunity to press the photo button: "Okay, okay. Children go out and wait for a while. Next is the wedding photo."
Nowadays, people liked to wear green military uniforms to take wedding photos. Qiao Xiu Xhi didn't want to wear them. But Xue Chuan said to take two photos. One in the clothes they were wearing now, and the other in green military uniforms. This should make up for the past regrets.
Qiao Xiu Zhi had always been reluctant to go against her husband's words. So she nodded without any hesitation.
The boss beamed even more happily and quickly took out the green uniforms for them to put on. By the way, there was also a little red flower. The costume was very complete.
"Okay, the two of you, put your heads together. Oh, yes, that's it. Don't move..."
"Kacha!"
Soon Qiao Xiu Zhi and Xue Chuan finished their shoot. Because there were too many people, they took Da Qiao and others to buy things nearby.
Wang Yan Sheng suggested to Qiao Hong Xia to take an individual photo, another photo of her holding little Yi Ming, and another photo of the three of them.
Qiao Hong Xia felt that this was a waste of money. She felt taking one group photo was enough. However, Wang Yan Sheng insisted. So Qiao Hong Xia had no choice but to agree with a blushing face.
When it came to group of three photo, Qiao Hong Xia was like a red apple and stood half an arm's distance from Wang Yan Sheng.
The boss frowned as soon as he saw this: "What's going on? Why take a group photo while standing so far? Get closer, get closer. Aren't you one family? What are you shy about?"
Once these words dropped, two people came in from outside: "Master, we want to take pictures."
When Qiao Hong Xia heard the voice, she frowned and looked up...
It was none other than her ex-husband Zhao Jie Fang and his current wife Xu Gui Ying.
Qiao Hong Xia's face instantly sank and muttered, "What bad luck!"
How can they encounter this pair of enemies every time they came to town!? What kind of fate was this!
Wang Yan Sheng had seen Zhao Jie Fang once from a distance back then. Although he looked a lot older now, he still recognized him at a glance.
Zhao Jie Fang and Xu Gui Ying didn't expect to meet Qiao Hong Xia and her son here.
After Xu Gui Ying met Qiao Hong Xia in the town last time, she had a fight with Zhao Jie Fang at the supply and demand cooperative. After returning home, Zhao Jie Fang became more and more indifferent to her. He called Qiao Hong Xia's name a few times in his dreams.
If she hadn't gotten Mother-in-law to put pressure on him, he might have gone to Qili production team to find them mother and son!
She was so furious that she wanted to kill that vixen Qiao Hong Xia. They were already divorced and Zhao Jie Fang was still obsessed with her!
Seeing her at this moment, love rival's jealousy flared up.
She shook off Zhao Jie Fang's hand, walked over and said, "Oh, isn't this Hong Xia? Are you guys here to take pictures?"
Qiao Hong Xia pulled little Yi Ming behind her and coldly stated, "Don't come near me!"
Xu Gui Ying smiled proudly: "Look at your guilty conscience. I'm not a tiger. I won't eat you. What are you afraid of?"
Qiao Hong Xia retorted: "I'm not afraid of you. But your mouth is so stinky that it makes me want to vomit!"
"You……!"
Xu Gui Ying's face turned red and white with anger. Her chest heaved violently.
"This comrade, you should be Qiao Hong Xia's blind date, right?"
Her eyes suddenly turned and fell on Wang Yan Sheng. After looking up and down, she couldn't help but feel jealous. She was also a second-hand good. How could that vixen, Qiao Hong Xia be so lucky?
Wang Yan Sheng nodded: "Yes. What has it to do with you?"
Xu Gui Ying smiled so deep that her face wrinkled: "Then do you know why Zhao Family had divorced Qiao Hong Xia?"
Wang Yan Sheng shook his head: "Isn't it because her ex-husband is a cowardly trash and Zhao Family is despicable and shameless?"
Zhao Jie Fang's face flushed with anger. He really wanted to go up and beat the man. However, he was half a head shorter than him when he stood in front of the man. His body was obviously not strong enough, so he swallowed it down.
Xu Gui Ying exaggeratedly smiled: "Of course not. Zhao Family divorced this woman because she had an affair behind her ex-husband's back. Have you seen the child behind her? The child neither looks like her nor like her ex-husband. Clearly, the child looks like her lover. That's why Zhao Family divorced her. I advise you not to be deceived. Sooner you will be cuckold by such a woman if you marry her home!"
"Shut up!" Qiao Hong Xia flushed with fury. She wanted to go up and smoke Xu Gui Ying but was stopped by Wang Yan Sheng.
She looked back at him in disbelief.
Seeing this, Xu Gui Ying thought that the man had paid heed to her advice and instantly let out a pig laughed out a pig snort.
Wang Yan Sheng pulled her behind him and said in a low voice, "Don't get your hands dirty. I'll do it!"
After he finished speaking, he strode up, and grabbed Xu Gui Ying's neck. Exerting his strength, he actually lifted her up!
Xu Gui Ying's feet were off the ground. Her neck was pinched. It became difficult to breathe.
Her eyes popped out as big as bull's eyes. She panickily looked at demon-like man in front of her: "You, you let me go...cough...Zhao Jie Fang..."
What kind of cowardly trash did she married? She was going to be strangled to death and he can still stand there like not happened!
Damn, no wonder Qiao Hong Xia wanted to divorce him. She just picked up the garbage that Qiao Hong Xia didn't want!
Xu Gui Ying's face turned white from being strangled. She vigorously kicked her legs.
The boss was so frightened that his face turned pale: "What are you doing? Comrade, if you don't let go, a life would be endangered!"
Little Yi Ming was a little frightened. He opened his small eyes, but he was brave enough not to cry.
Qiao Hong Xia comforted her son before running over to stop Wang Yan Sheng: "Forget it. It's not worth getting your hands dirty for this kind of person!"
Wang Yan Sheng threw Xu Gui Ying to the ground. Looking down at her, he stated, "Hong Xia is now my fiancee. If you guys dare to pester her again in the future, or speak ill of her, it's best not to let me hear. Otherwise, you won't be as lucky next time!"
Xu Gui Ying was a person who bullied good and feared evil. She shook her head in fright: "I don't dare. I don't dare anymore!"
Wang Yan Sheng turned his gaze to Zhao Jie Fang, "Remember this. Although you are little Yi Ming's biological father, you can't harass them until little Yi Ming is eighteen. If not, I will let your Zhao Family have no place in the Red Maple production team! You'd better not question what I say. I have the ability to do what I say!"
Zhao Jie Fang's face turned red and white. His hands were clenched into fists.
He wanted to say why. Even though he and Hong Xia divorced, little Yi Ming was his son. Why couldn't he see him?
But this man stood there like a domineering mountain. His aura was so overwhelming that he couldn't breathe. He opened his mouth many times, but he didn't utter a word.
Xu Gui Ying got up from the ground and spat on Zhao Jie Fang's face: "I want to divorce you!"
Zhao Jie Fang stared at Qiao Hong Xia with a mouthful of pit on his face before turning his head to the side. In the end, he raised his hand to wipe his face, turned, and walked out.
After Zhao Jie Fang left, Qiao Hong Xia said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you just now."
Wang Yan Sheng lowered his head to her: "I said I would take good care of you mother and son. Have confidence in me."
Qiao Hong Xia: "I won't doubt you anymore!"
Later on, Qiao Xiu Zhi found out about it. She nodded and said, "It's a good thing that old Third Wang scared them. This way Zhao Family won't come to pester you mother and son."
After taking the photos, they went to the supply and demand cooperative to buy things. Then, they made way to the food factory to visit Qiao Zhen Jun. After that, they caught a ride back to the production team.
The next day, Wang Yan Sheng packed up and went back to the army.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter. In a blink of an eye, it was time for the primary school graduation exam.
At this time, Chen Qiao Qiao noticed her period hadn't arrived for more than a month.
Omdsssss
ReplyDeleteI don't like CQQ, she has so many excuses. I hope QZM has another person to love and that treats little Wan'er fair.
ReplyDeleteChen Qiao Qiao is going to be screwed! I'm happy that Hong Xia has a good potential husband-to-be and Da Qiao has such a loving step-mother. Now if only Zhen Jun can find a better partner than CQQ. Thank you for the chapter!
ReplyDeleteIt's Zhen Min, not Zhen Jun. Zhen Jun is married to Lin Hui.
DeleteI saw it coming. She is such a master in making bad decisions! She was obviously seeking death.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chapter!!
Really hoping for QZM to divorce CQQ and find a new lover who’ll actually appreciate him and little Wan’er
ReplyDeleteI pity CQQ a bit, no doubt if the time is right now she would definitely be doing well independently with a job. It's a pity back then for women to survive they had to marry and struggle on their own without much support of their parents. Tho this doesn't excuse her cheating and being bad mother.
ReplyDeleteI do not pity her even a little bit. She is an adult and she is responsible for her own choices.What I detest the most when cheaters excuse their own actions by relationship issues. She as an adult continued her own actions knowing what kind of consequences that would lead, she did all of it knowing it. Whether it was her attitude towards the marriage or her child, or even the current situation of cheating, it was all the result of her own actions and decisions. Considering in what kind of time she is living, she had a pretty satisfying life. Yes her husband has the problem and she has the right to be dissatisfied, and she is also living in a times where the divorce is difficult. But does this justifies her cheating and her cold hardheartedness towards her child ? NO!
