Chapter 90
At the time, Wan Chun Ju was sitting on the rear frame. Her mouth grinning from ear to ear: "Oh, a ride on a bicycle is different. It feels cool when the wind blows, it feels like something... Right, it feels like going up to heaven!"
Everyone: "..."
Was it that exaggerated?
Some people knew that Wan Chun Ju was showing off. Still, they can't help but envy: "Eldest Qiao's wife, can I experience this feeling of going to heaven?"
Wan Chun Ju's chin was about to go up to the sky: "Of course... you can't! I haven't sat down enough yet. This flying feeling... Hahaha, you can't understand it... Hahaahhhhhh..."
She laughed and turned into a shriek.
Everyone: "..."
Why did she make a scream out of the blue?
Qiao Zhen Guo sighed while pedaling on the bicycle: "Wife, just laugh if you want. Why do you have to make slaughtered pig scream? No wonder the production team want to call you Wan Pig Slaughterer."
Wan Chun Ju gasped in pain: "Zhen Guo...Mai jaw dopped fro laughin..."
Qiao Zhen Guo was stunned for a moment before realizing what his wife meant: "Wife, keep a low profile."
Wan Chun Ju's tears were about to fall: "Nuh...Mai aaw dropped!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a child call out: "Look. Wan Pig Slaughterer is drooling!"
Everyone's eyes fell on Wan Chun Ju's face.
It was fine if they didn't look. Now they did, it was startling!
Wan Chun Ju was drooling. Her entire face suddenly elongated by a third more!
F*ck, what was going on?
An older elderly man spoke: "This is laughing so hard that she laughed off her chin!"
Everyone: "..."
Qiao Zhen Guo had to stop when he heard everyone's comments and his wife had been pestering him at his waist.
He looked back and laughed like a dog: "Hahaha... Wife, what's wrong with your chin? You look like the foolish girl from the neighboring production team. You are still drooling!"
Wan Chun Ju had the heart to kill him: "..."
The production team gathered around liked they were watching monkeys.
"F*ck, this is the first time in my life that I know that jaw drop from laughing can literally happen!"
"Me too! Eldest Qiao's wife, you can't close your mouth, right?"
"Waste of words! If can, would she drool like a fool?"
"Hahaha, Eldest Qiao's wife's behavior is even more stupid than the fool girl from the neighboring production team. I'm gonna die from laughing!"
Wan Chun Ju was immersed in pain, anger, and embarrassment. She wanted to speak, but as soon as she opened her mouth, more saliva flowed out. What's more, the two sides of her forehead was aching.
It was still the same old man from before. He urged Qiao Zhen Guo, "Eldest Qiao, stop laughing. Quickly get your wife's chin back in place!"
Qiao Zhen Guo naively uttered: "Don't need to go to the hospital?"
The elderly man spoke with wisdom: "No, no need. One hand press her head, the other hand hold her chin. Then lift it hard. It's very simple!"
Taking in his wife's appearance, Qiao Zhen Guo jollily told, "Wife, I'll help you put your chin back in place. You're really going to make me laugh to death!"
The dislocated-chin Wan Chun Ju:"..."
He pissed her off. What kind of man had she married?
Following what the elderly man said, Qiao Zhen Guo put one hand on the top of her head and the other on her chin and lifted it hard...
"Ahhhhh……"
Wan Chun Ju let out a shrill scream in pain. The nearby birds flew up in fright.
When everyone saw it, they were stunned again.
Not only was Wan Chun Ju's chin not put back, but it was also crooked!
The method the elderly man said was actually effective. However, when Qiao Zhen Guo exerted force, Wan Chun Ju suddenly yelled. He got startled and the direction of his hand was deviated.
Therefore, one side of Wan Chun Ju's chin was fixed, but the other side still off. Not only was the whole face longer, but also became crooked.
After being frozen, Qiao Zhen Guo laughed like a dog again: "Wife, your face is like the face of a donkey who was punched. Hahaha, my stomach hurts from laughing..."
Everyone: "..."
Although the imagery was very similar, was it really good for him, her man, to laugh like this?
Wan Chun Ju: "..."
She nearly stopped breathing and passed on the spot!
In the end, Qiao Zhen Guo had no choice but to send her to the health clinic. Under the professional technique of the doctor, Wan Chun Ju's chin was put back into place.
It was just that her chin felt sore that she wanted to cry: "Doctor, why do I still feel pain when it's back in place?"
The doctor said: "Pain is normal. Not only will you be in pain now, but you will be in pain for a month!"
Wan Chun Ju was shocked. With her mouth wide open, she uttered: "What? In pain for a month... ahhj... it hurts me to death!"
The doctor scolded: "You don't want it to get better? Still dare to open your mouth so wide? Do you still want to your chin to dislocate? I'm telling you, you have to be careful in the future. Not only can't laugh too loudly, but also don't open your mouth too much when yawning. Hard things can't be eaten. If it hurts too much at night, put a hot towel on it!"
Wan Chun Ju: All thoughts were despairing.
It wasn't just one month of pain, but also can't eat a lot of things. Even when yawning, she has to be careful. What was the point of her being alive?
When Qiao Zhen Guo jollily went back and told Qiao Family about his wife's jaw dropping. Qiao Family was speechless.
It was also the first time they saw someone laugh off their chin. Only this kind of matter can happen to Wan Chun Ju.
At dinner that night, Wan Chun Ju drank congee again. This time it was even worse than when she was pregnant. At that time, she could eat some green vegetables. But now she can't even eat green vegetables!
Wan Chun Ju: Life was worst than death.
...
Two days later, Xue Chuan took Qiao Xiu Zhi to the town and bought the house.
The whole house plus other expenses came up to a total of 820 yuan. However, Qiao Xiu Zhi told others that it only cost 500 yuan.
The extra 300 yuan was her and Xue Chuan's private fund. They quietly helped Da Qiao out. Even Da Qiao's parents didn't know about it. Everyone just thought that Qiao Family got a big bargain.
When the slack season came, Qiao Family all took leave to go to the town for a house-warming party at the newly bought house.
This was also the first time Da Qiao saw her house.
The house wasn't very big. There were three rooms in total, plus a small yard. It had been renovated before. The whole house looked very new.
Moreover, the two elders of Wei Family cherished the house very much. Not only were they reluctant to rent it out, but they also came over to clean it every day. So the house was well maintained.
All in all, this house was a great buy!
Wan Chun Ju held her little daughter. Her eyes were scanning around. and her heart was bubbling with vinegar: "Tsk tsk tsk, such a good house is only five hundred yuan. Da Qiao, you are really a blind cat encountering dead mice. Picked up a great bargain!"
Qiao Family: "..."
The two elders of Wei family: "..." How did they become dead mice?
Wan Chun Ju didn't notice other people's expressions. She turned to ask Wei Family's elderly, "Do you want to sell the house next door? I'll buy it from you for five hundred yuan!"
Wei Family's two elderly: "..."
If the house next door is sold, they'll sleep on the street?
And she actually want to buy a four-bedroom next door plus a big yard with 500 yuan! She can really dream!
Qiao Zhen Guo spoke: "Wife, where do you get the five hundred yuan? It's better to speak less. Be careful when your jaw drops again, hahaha..."
Wan Chun Ju's face went red and white: "..."
In the past few days, her man had been making fun of her every day about this matter. Can't he get over this hurdle?
Qiao Xiu Zhi was too lazy to watch this stupid son and stupid daughter-in-law. She went to the department store with Xue Chuan to buy some homeware. Although Wei Family gave some furniture, they still had to buy things like pots and pans.
Many things in the house were incomplete. So when it was time for lunch, Qiao Xiu Zhi originally wanted to take everyone to a state-run restaurant for a "luxury" trip. However, Wei Family insisted that they stay their side.
Wei Family were so hospitable. Qiao Xiu Zhi couldn't refuse it. So she got her eldest son to buy some meat and vegetables before taking her eldest granddaughter, Qiao Dong He, to the kitchen to help.
Wei's house hadn't been so lively for a long time. Since the death of their son, the family has been desolated. Because of the death of her son, Wei Bao Sheng's wife, old woman Luo became even more ill and had been lying in bed for a good few years.
Because of the arrival of Qiao Family, she was in high spirit and ate half a bowl of rice and sat for a long time.
Da Qiao knew that Grandpa Wei and Grandma Luo sold the house to her at a low price. She was very grateful. When everyone wasn't paying attention, she dropped two jade beads in the water Grandma Luo was drinking.
What's more, she had brought dried roses and jasmine flowers for them. Brewing these two kinds of scented tea was more effective than eating health products.
Wei Bao Sheng liked this little girl, Da Qiao very much. If his son hadn't died, his granddaughter would have been this old.
Seeing that Da Qiao have present for them, he was so moved that he secretly wiped his tears: "Good child, I heard that you planted these flowers yourself?"
Da Qiao proudly puffed out her chest, "I planted it myself. Do Grandpa Wei like it? If you do, I will transplant some flowers over next time."
Wei Bao Sheng felt that it would be good to plant some flowers in the yard. Now only would one's mood improve when seeing it, he could ask get old woman to get up to water and move about. It should be good for her body. So he nodded in agreement.
Old woman Luo also liked Da Qiao very much. She held her in her arms and caressed her tender face with her rough hands; feeling both happy and sad in her heart.
Having the same thought as her spouse, she recalled her dead son. She really hoped that Qiao Family would move to the town quickly.
It was just that Qiao Family won't come to live for a while.
First, Qiao Zhen Jun's work wasn't stable yet. Secondly, Lin Hui was about to give birth. If she moved here, she will have to take care of four children by herself. She definitely won't be able to handle it by herself.
Therefore, the matter of moving to the town can only be postponed later. Fortunately, Fang Xiao Juan and Xiao Qiao were no longer in the production team. So it didn't matter if they move later.
When Qiao Family was about to go back in the afternoon, Wei Bao Sheng sent them to the mouth of the alley. His reluctance to part made people feel very sad.
...
Qiao Zhen Guo was riding a bicycle with Lin Hui and her big belly behind him. The rest of the group slowly returned to the production team.
As soon as they entered the village, someone came to tip off: "Oh, you guys are finally back. Your Hong Mei came over in the morning and waited at the door for a long time. You should go back!"
Hearing this, all of Qiao Family were like being fed with flies; a mouthful of disgust.
Back at Qiao's old house, they found Qiao Hong Mei and her four daughters sitting in a row at the door of Qiao's house.
"Dad, Mom, you are finally back!" Qiao Hong Mei heard the footsteps. She raised her head and saw Qiao Family returning and immediately flew over.
Qiao Xiu Zhi stopped her to prevent her from bumping into Lin Hui's belly. She coldly spoke, "I've made it clear to you last time. What are you doing here?"
Qiao Hong Mei took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped her tears. She didn't have any tears at first, but as soon as she wiped, the tears flowed down like a faucet was turned on.
She cried: "Mom, I've reflected on it for the past few days. You were so kind to me in the past, but I was blinded by lard and couldn't see it! Mom, I truly know I was wrong. Please forgive me! "
As she said that, she beckoned her four daughters: "Come here now and beg your grandma and grandpa!"
As if the four golden flowers were well trained, they all rushed forward and shouted in unison, "Grandma, Grandpa, Mom knows she is wrong. Please forgive mom!"
"Grandma, Grandpa, little Cutie doesn't want to leave you. Don't chase little Cutie away, okay?"
Chen Lai Di even hugged Qiao Xiu Zhi's thigh; completely imitating Da Qiao's tone and coquettishly behavior.
Everyone in Qiao Family was disgusted.
An Ping scratched his head and said, "Mom, is Chen Er Mei imitating Younger Sister Da Qiao? It's really scary!"
Wan Chun Ju curled her lips and mocked, "Isn't she just imitating Da Qiao. She is Dong Shi laughing at poverty! But I can't understand why Dong Shi is getting poorer the more he laughs?"
Everyone: "..."
When Chen Lai Di heard that An Ping called her Chen Er Mei, she was irked: "What nonsense are you talking about. My name is Chen Laidi!"
Qiao Dong Ying laughed, "I think you might as well be called Chen Er Mei!"
The four daughters of Chen Family were named Chen Zhao Di, Chen Lai Di, Chen Qiu Di, and Chen Huan Di. It made it seem that the purpose of their existence was to summon their younger brother!
The atmosphere was so stirred up by Qiao Family's first branch, it couldn't become 'tragic' anymore.
Qiao Hong Mei gritted her teeth in anger; wishing she could go up and slap them hard.
But she dared not!
She took a deep breath, wiped her eyes with a handkerchief again, and tearfully spoke: "Dad, Mom, even if I'm not your own, but you have raised me for so many years. I'm full of gratitude toward you. I must give you old age care. If I leave like this, won't I become a white-eyed wolf?"
Wan Chun Ju curled her lips again and muttered, "Said it as if you weren't a white-eyed wolf before."
Qiao Hong Mei blushed like a cooked shrimp from anger: "Eldest Sister-in-law, can you be a little more compassionate?"
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Wan Chun Ju: "Hey, hey, you can randomly eat sh*t but not randomly talk nonsense. I'm not your eldest sister-in-law. Stop with the nonsense!"
Qiao Hong Mei was trembling with fury. Why didn't she know Wan Chun Ju's mouth could be so poisonous before?
Seeing that Qiao Hong Mei was fuming, Wan Chun Ju turned back and whispered to her mother-in-law: "Mom, what do you think of my retort?"
Qiao Xiu Zhi twitched her mouth and responded, "Very good. Later, reward a bowl of egg drop!"
Wan Chun Ju's eyes were as bright as a thief at night. She turned around and dumped her youngest daughter to her eldest daughter. She was ready to have a good 'battle' with Qiao Hong Mei!
Everyone: "..."
Since there was a big commotion at Qiao's house, the people around them immediately gathered.
"What's going on? What trouble crop up now?"
"I say, Hong Mei, what's with you? Why do you have to make chaos every time you come back to your maternal home?"
"That's right. How could there be a daughter like you? I think Auntie Xiu Zhi has a very good temper. If you were my daughter, I would have beaten you to death!"
Qiao Family was getting better and better. On top of that, Qiao Family had recently bought a bicycle. As long as they weren't muddled, they won't offend Qiao Family. Everyone was taking the initiative to speak for Qiao Family at this moment.
Qiao Hong Mei almost spat out a mouthful of blood. She really didn't expect that all the villagers would help Qiao family!
She took a deep breath again and took the initiative to say that she wasn't the daughter of Qiao family.
She wiped her tears and stated, "Uncles and Aunties, you all watched me grow up. Although I am a bit outspoken, I don't have any bad intentions. My parents worked hard to raise me. If I don't give them old age care, am I still human?"
When everyone heard that Qiao Hong Mei wasn't from Qiao Family, they were shocked on the spot!
"My God, there is such a thing? Who is so vicious to swap the babies?"
"The other party deserves to be struck by lightning! If my baby is swapped and I find the other party, I will definitely kill them!"
"Me too! No wonder Hong Mei's appearance and personality are different from Qiao Family. It turns out that she's not from Qiao Family at all!"
"It's said that dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and mice are born to burrow. Hong Mei's temperament is probably just like her biological parents! Tsk tsk tsk, her biological parents did such a thing and Hong Mei actually has the face to come and pester Qiao Family? It's good enough that they didn't kill you!"
Qiao Hong Mei: ?
She took in the villagers filled with righteous indignation and wanted to come up and teach her on behalf of Qiao Family. She almost doubted her life.
She took another deep breath. Just as she was prepared to pretend to be pitiful. she heard someone speak first: "By the way, Auntie Xiu Zhi, when Hong Mei got married, you gave her a lot of dowry. Take it back?"
Qiao Hong Mei's heart dropped and her whole body stiffened.
Since her mother-in-law and men knew that she wasn't the daughter of Qiao Family, they had already disliked her very much. Her man had rekindled his relationship with that vixen, Wang Ni-er.
She knelt on the ground and begged him for a long time before he reluctantly agreed that he wouldn't divorce. Stated that she have to reconcile with Qiao Family. Otherwise he would divorce her immediately.
If she can't repair the relationship with Qiao Family and instead spit the dowry back out, her man will kill her!
Qiao Xiu Zhi coldly sneered: "You reminded me. Eldest, go and call the production leader..."
Before her sentence was finished, Qiao Hong Mei turned around and ran as if a ghost was chasing her. Completely abandoning her daughters!
The four golden flowers of Chen Family: "..."
With a perked up face, Wan Chun Ju asked: "Mom, do you want me to catch that fake back?"
Qiao Xiu Zhi shook her head: "Forget it. Let's go in."
In fact, she didn't forget about the dowry. Just deliberately didn't mention it.
They thought of this point before going to cut ties with Qiao Hong Mei.
If they take back the dowry, not only Qiao Hong Mei, but also Chen Family will incessantly pester. Getting pestered will be a very disgusting experience to go through.
In addition, if they ask for the dowry back through Shen Family, Qiao Hong Mei will have no worries. At the time, it will be useless even if Qiao Family chases her away.
Might as well use the money to buy a clean cut.
After this time, Qiao Hong Mei probably won't casually come to the production team in the future. Even if she encounter people from their Qiao Family, she will take the initiative to detour.
After Qiao Family entered, everyone sighed one after another.
Some people sympathized with Qiao Family for losing their daughter amd scolded the person who swapped the child and the old nurse. Some remarked Qiao Family was kind; didn't make Qiao Hong Mei spit back the dowry.
Of course, there was no shortage of people who watch jokes. However, these people weren't like before Due to being afraid of offending Qiao Family, they dare not speak out.
Seeing that her mother-in-law didn't pursue it, Wan Chun Ju felt her flesh ached. She pondered how the next time she sees Qiao Hong Mei, she must get the dowry back!
...
Not only was Qiao Hong Mei in trouble, Fang Xiao Juan was also frustrated.
After she arrived in Hu City, Meng Hong Guang bought her all kinds of delicious food, had clothes made for me, bought her vanishing cream for facial, and clam oil for her hands. She seemed to be soaked in honey water.
After only half a month, her whole person was like a dead tree blooming in spring. She suddenly became charming again.
This kind of day was what she wanted!
She can't wait to let Qiao Family and Wang Family see her current life and make them envy her!
Though Meng Hong Guang was wonderful to her, there was one thing bad. That is... he never mentioned marriage after coming here for so long!
Xiao Qiao also found this strange and unsettled. She urged her mom: "Mom, this matter can't be delayed any longer. You got to talk to Uncle Meng tonight."
Be it seduction or acting cute, they had to get Meng Hong Guang to nod no matter what.
Fang Xiao Juan looked at herself in the mirror and said, "I know. With old Madam Meng, you have to work harder!"
Meng Hong Guang's mother didn't like her, especially she had been married twice.
However, she loved her grandson very much. Xiao Qiao seized this point and offered to teach Meng Hong Guang's son to read. Because of this, old Madam Meng's attitude towards Xiao Qiao was much better than when she first came.
Xiao Qiao nodded to show that she knew what to do.
In the evening, Fang Xiao Juan specially dressed herself up to serve Meng Hong Guang well at night. Then she can bring up the matter of marriage.
Who knew that when Meng Hong Guang came back and saw her beautifully dressed, he smiled and said, "How did you know that I was going to take you out tonight?"
Fang Xiao Juan's mind came to a halt for a moment. Then her eyes lit up: "I didn't know, but...are you really going to take me out?"
After half a month, Meng Hong Guang never took her out. Let alone introduce her to his colleagues and friends.
Meng Hong Guang eyed her up and down, approvingly smiled, "Deputy Director Liang asked me to go to his house for dinner tonight. Come with me!"
Fang Xiao Juan was overjoyed. Then she nervously responded: "Do you think it would be discourtesy of me to dress like this? Should I go in and change?"
Meng Hong Guang shook his head: "No need. You are so good. It's getting late, we'll depart now."
Fang Xiao Juan eagerly nodded. Before going out, she glanced at Xiao Qiao. Both of their eyes were full of joy.
But soon, she couldn't keep the smile.
She thought that Deputy Director Liang would have invited a lot of people. After she went there, she found that the other party only invited the two of them.
But this was not a problem. The problem was that the other party had been looking at her with leering eyes. It made her very uncomfortable.
She wanted to hint at Meng Hong Guang, but Meng Hong Guang seemed to act blind all night. As if he he didn't sense anything at all!
She endured the nausea and hoped to quickly go back after eating.
Unexpectedly, after the meal, Meng Hong Guang pulled her aside and softly spoke, "Xiao Juan, Director Liang likes you very much. You stay and take care of him tonight."
At the time, Wan Chun Ju was sitting on the rear frame. Her mouth grinning from ear to ear: "Oh, a ride on a bicycle is different. It feels cool when the wind blows, it feels like something... Right, it feels like going up to heaven!"
Everyone: "..."
Was it that exaggerated?
Some people knew that Wan Chun Ju was showing off. Still, they can't help but envy: "Eldest Qiao's wife, can I experience this feeling of going to heaven?"
Wan Chun Ju's chin was about to go up to the sky: "Of course... you can't! I haven't sat down enough yet. This flying feeling... Hahaha, you can't understand it... Hahaahhhhhh..."
She laughed and turned into a shriek.
Everyone: "..."
Why did she make a scream out of the blue?
Qiao Zhen Guo sighed while pedaling on the bicycle: "Wife, just laugh if you want. Why do you have to make slaughtered pig scream? No wonder the production team want to call you Wan Pig Slaughterer."
Wan Chun Ju gasped in pain: "Zhen Guo...Mai jaw dopped fro laughin..."
Qiao Zhen Guo was stunned for a moment before realizing what his wife meant: "Wife, keep a low profile."
Wan Chun Ju's tears were about to fall: "Nuh...Mai aaw dropped!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a child call out: "Look. Wan Pig Slaughterer is drooling!"
Everyone's eyes fell on Wan Chun Ju's face.
It was fine if they didn't look. Now they did, it was startling!
Wan Chun Ju was drooling. Her entire face suddenly elongated by a third more!
F*ck, what was going on?

"F*ck, this is the first time in my life that I know that jaw drop from laughing can literally happen!"

Wan Chun Ju was immersed in pain, anger, and embarrassment. She wanted to speak, but as soon as she opened her mouth, more saliva flowed out. What's more, the two sides of her forehead was aching.
It was still the same old man from before. He urged Qiao Zhen Guo, "Eldest Qiao, stop laughing. Quickly get your wife's chin back in place!"
Qiao Zhen Guo naively uttered: "Don't need to go to the hospital?"
The elderly man spoke with wisdom: "No, no need. One hand press her head, the other hand hold her chin. Then lift it hard. It's very simple!"
Taking in his wife's appearance, Qiao Zhen Guo jollily told, "Wife, I'll help you put your chin back in place. You're really going to make me laugh to death!"
The dislocated-chin Wan Chun Ju:"..."
He pissed her off. What kind of man had she married?

The doctor said: "Pain is normal. Not only will you be in pain now, but you will be in pain for a month!"
Wan Chun Ju was shocked. With her mouth wide open, she uttered: "What? In pain for a month... ahhj... it hurts me to death!"
The doctor scolded: "You don't want it to get better? Still dare to open your mouth so wide? Do you still want to your chin to dislocate? I'm telling you, you have to be careful in the future. Not only can't laugh too loudly, but also don't open your mouth too much when yawning. Hard things can't be eaten. If it hurts too much at night, put a hot towel on it!"
Wan Chun Ju: All thoughts were despairing.

Two days later, Xue Chuan took Qiao Xiu Zhi to the town and bought the house.
The whole house plus other expenses came up to a total of 820 yuan. However, Qiao Xiu Zhi told others that it only cost 500 yuan.

All in all, this house was a great buy!
Wan Chun Ju held her little daughter. Her eyes were scanning around. and her heart was bubbling with vinegar: "Tsk tsk tsk, such a good house is only five hundred yuan. Da Qiao, you are really a blind cat encountering dead mice. Picked up a great bargain!"
Qiao Family: "..."
The two elders of Wei family: "..." How did they become dead mice?
Wan Chun Ju didn't notice other people's expressions. She turned to ask Wei Family's elderly, "Do you want to sell the house next door? I'll buy it from you for five hundred yuan!"
Wei Family's two elderly: "..."
If the house next door is sold, they'll sleep on the street?
And she actually want to buy a four-bedroom next door plus a big yard with 500 yuan! She can really dream!
Qiao Zhen Guo spoke: "Wife, where do you get the five hundred yuan? It's better to speak less. Be careful when your jaw drops again, hahaha..."
Wan Chun Ju's face went red and white: "..."
In the past few days, her man had been making fun of her every day about this matter. Can't he get over this hurdle?
Qiao Xiu Zhi was too lazy to watch this stupid son and stupid daughter-in-law. She went to the department store with Xue Chuan to buy some homeware. Although Wei Family gave some furniture, they still had to buy things like pots and pans.

Wei Bao Sheng felt that it would be good to plant some flowers in the yard. Now only would one's mood improve when seeing it, he could ask get old woman to get up to water and move about. It should be good for her body. So he nodded in agreement.
Old woman Luo also liked Da Qiao very much. She held her in her arms and caressed her tender face with her rough hands; feeling both happy and sad in her heart.
Having the same thought as her spouse, she recalled her dead son. She really hoped that Qiao Family would move to the town quickly.
It was just that Qiao Family won't come to live for a while.
First, Qiao Zhen Jun's work wasn't stable yet. Secondly, Lin Hui was about to give birth. If she moved here, she will have to take care of four children by herself. She definitely won't be able to handle it by herself.
Therefore, the matter of moving to the town can only be postponed later. Fortunately, Fang Xiao Juan and Xiao Qiao were no longer in the production team. So it didn't matter if they move later.
When Qiao Family was about to go back in the afternoon, Wei Bao Sheng sent them to the mouth of the alley. His reluctance to part made people feel very sad.
...
Qiao Zhen Guo was riding a bicycle with Lin Hui and her big belly behind him. The rest of the group slowly returned to the production team.
As soon as they entered the village, someone came to tip off: "Oh, you guys are finally back. Your Hong Mei came over in the morning and waited at the door for a long time. You should go back!"
Hearing this, all of Qiao Family were like being fed with flies; a mouthful of disgust.
Back at Qiao's old house, they found Qiao Hong Mei and her four daughters sitting in a row at the door of Qiao's house.
"Dad, Mom, you are finally back!" Qiao Hong Mei heard the footsteps. She raised her head and saw Qiao Family returning and immediately flew over.
Qiao Xiu Zhi stopped her to prevent her from bumping into Lin Hui's belly. She coldly spoke, "I've made it clear to you last time. What are you doing here?"
Qiao Hong Mei took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped her tears. She didn't have any tears at first, but as soon as she wiped, the tears flowed down like a faucet was turned on.
She cried: "Mom, I've reflected on it for the past few days. You were so kind to me in the past, but I was blinded by lard and couldn't see it! Mom, I truly know I was wrong. Please forgive me! "
As she said that, she beckoned her four daughters: "Come here now and beg your grandma and grandpa!"
As if the four golden flowers were well trained, they all rushed forward and shouted in unison, "Grandma, Grandpa, Mom knows she is wrong. Please forgive mom!"
"Grandma, Grandpa, little Cutie doesn't want to leave you. Don't chase little Cutie away, okay?"
Chen Lai Di even hugged Qiao Xiu Zhi's thigh; completely imitating Da Qiao's tone and coquettishly behavior.
Everyone in Qiao Family was disgusted.
An Ping scratched his head and said, "Mom, is Chen Er Mei imitating Younger Sister Da Qiao? It's really scary!"
Wan Chun Ju curled her lips and mocked, "Isn't she just imitating Da Qiao. She is Dong Shi laughing at poverty! But I can't understand why Dong Shi is getting poorer the more he laughs?"
Everyone: "..."
When Chen Lai Di heard that An Ping called her Chen Er Mei, she was irked: "What nonsense are you talking about. My name is Chen Laidi!"
Qiao Dong Ying laughed, "I think you might as well be called Chen Er Mei!"
The four daughters of Chen Family were named Chen Zhao Di, Chen Lai Di, Chen Qiu Di, and Chen Huan Di. It made it seem that the purpose of their existence was to summon their younger brother!
The atmosphere was so stirred up by Qiao Family's first branch, it couldn't become 'tragic' anymore.
Qiao Hong Mei gritted her teeth in anger; wishing she could go up and slap them hard.
But she dared not!
She took a deep breath, wiped her eyes with a handkerchief again, and tearfully spoke: "Dad, Mom, even if I'm not your own, but you have raised me for so many years. I'm full of gratitude toward you. I must give you old age care. If I leave like this, won't I become a white-eyed wolf?"
Wan Chun Ju curled her lips again and muttered, "Said it as if you weren't a white-eyed wolf before."
Qiao Hong Mei blushed like a cooked shrimp from anger: "Eldest Sister-in-law, can you be a little more compassionate?"
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Wan Chun Ju: "Hey, hey, you can randomly eat sh*t but not randomly talk nonsense. I'm not your eldest sister-in-law. Stop with the nonsense!"
Qiao Hong Mei was trembling with fury. Why didn't she know Wan Chun Ju's mouth could be so poisonous before?
Seeing that Qiao Hong Mei was fuming, Wan Chun Ju turned back and whispered to her mother-in-law: "Mom, what do you think of my retort?"
Qiao Xiu Zhi twitched her mouth and responded, "Very good. Later, reward a bowl of egg drop!"
Wan Chun Ju's eyes were as bright as a thief at night. She turned around and dumped her youngest daughter to her eldest daughter. She was ready to have a good 'battle' with Qiao Hong Mei!
Everyone: "..."
Since there was a big commotion at Qiao's house, the people around them immediately gathered.
"What's going on? What trouble crop up now?"
"I say, Hong Mei, what's with you? Why do you have to make chaos every time you come back to your maternal home?"
"That's right. How could there be a daughter like you? I think Auntie Xiu Zhi has a very good temper. If you were my daughter, I would have beaten you to death!"
Qiao Family was getting better and better. On top of that, Qiao Family had recently bought a bicycle. As long as they weren't muddled, they won't offend Qiao Family. Everyone was taking the initiative to speak for Qiao Family at this moment.
Qiao Hong Mei almost spat out a mouthful of blood. She really didn't expect that all the villagers would help Qiao family!
She took a deep breath again and took the initiative to say that she wasn't the daughter of Qiao family.
She wiped her tears and stated, "Uncles and Aunties, you all watched me grow up. Although I am a bit outspoken, I don't have any bad intentions. My parents worked hard to raise me. If I don't give them old age care, am I still human?"
When everyone heard that Qiao Hong Mei wasn't from Qiao Family, they were shocked on the spot!
"My God, there is such a thing? Who is so vicious to swap the babies?"
"The other party deserves to be struck by lightning! If my baby is swapped and I find the other party, I will definitely kill them!"
"Me too! No wonder Hong Mei's appearance and personality are different from Qiao Family. It turns out that she's not from Qiao Family at all!"
"It's said that dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and mice are born to burrow. Hong Mei's temperament is probably just like her biological parents! Tsk tsk tsk, her biological parents did such a thing and Hong Mei actually has the face to come and pester Qiao Family? It's good enough that they didn't kill you!"
Qiao Hong Mei: ?
She took in the villagers filled with righteous indignation and wanted to come up and teach her on behalf of Qiao Family. She almost doubted her life.
She took another deep breath. Just as she was prepared to pretend to be pitiful. she heard someone speak first: "By the way, Auntie Xiu Zhi, when Hong Mei got married, you gave her a lot of dowry. Take it back?"
Qiao Hong Mei's heart dropped and her whole body stiffened.
Since her mother-in-law and men knew that she wasn't the daughter of Qiao Family, they had already disliked her very much. Her man had rekindled his relationship with that vixen, Wang Ni-er.
She knelt on the ground and begged him for a long time before he reluctantly agreed that he wouldn't divorce. Stated that she have to reconcile with Qiao Family. Otherwise he would divorce her immediately.
If she can't repair the relationship with Qiao Family and instead spit the dowry back out, her man will kill her!
Qiao Xiu Zhi coldly sneered: "You reminded me. Eldest, go and call the production leader..."
Before her sentence was finished, Qiao Hong Mei turned around and ran as if a ghost was chasing her. Completely abandoning her daughters!
The four golden flowers of Chen Family: "..."
With a perked up face, Wan Chun Ju asked: "Mom, do you want me to catch that fake back?"
Qiao Xiu Zhi shook her head: "Forget it. Let's go in."
In fact, she didn't forget about the dowry. Just deliberately didn't mention it.
They thought of this point before going to cut ties with Qiao Hong Mei.
If they take back the dowry, not only Qiao Hong Mei, but also Chen Family will incessantly pester. Getting pestered will be a very disgusting experience to go through.
In addition, if they ask for the dowry back through Shen Family, Qiao Hong Mei will have no worries. At the time, it will be useless even if Qiao Family chases her away.
Might as well use the money to buy a clean cut.
After this time, Qiao Hong Mei probably won't casually come to the production team in the future. Even if she encounter people from their Qiao Family, she will take the initiative to detour.
After Qiao Family entered, everyone sighed one after another.
Some people sympathized with Qiao Family for losing their daughter amd scolded the person who swapped the child and the old nurse. Some remarked Qiao Family was kind; didn't make Qiao Hong Mei spit back the dowry.
Of course, there was no shortage of people who watch jokes. However, these people weren't like before Due to being afraid of offending Qiao Family, they dare not speak out.
Seeing that her mother-in-law didn't pursue it, Wan Chun Ju felt her flesh ached. She pondered how the next time she sees Qiao Hong Mei, she must get the dowry back!
...
Not only was Qiao Hong Mei in trouble, Fang Xiao Juan was also frustrated.
After she arrived in Hu City, Meng Hong Guang bought her all kinds of delicious food, had clothes made for me, bought her vanishing cream for facial, and clam oil for her hands. She seemed to be soaked in honey water.
After only half a month, her whole person was like a dead tree blooming in spring. She suddenly became charming again.
This kind of day was what she wanted!
She can't wait to let Qiao Family and Wang Family see her current life and make them envy her!
Though Meng Hong Guang was wonderful to her, there was one thing bad. That is... he never mentioned marriage after coming here for so long!
Xiao Qiao also found this strange and unsettled. She urged her mom: "Mom, this matter can't be delayed any longer. You got to talk to Uncle Meng tonight."
Be it seduction or acting cute, they had to get Meng Hong Guang to nod no matter what.
Fang Xiao Juan looked at herself in the mirror and said, "I know. With old Madam Meng, you have to work harder!"
Meng Hong Guang's mother didn't like her, especially she had been married twice.
However, she loved her grandson very much. Xiao Qiao seized this point and offered to teach Meng Hong Guang's son to read. Because of this, old Madam Meng's attitude towards Xiao Qiao was much better than when she first came.
Xiao Qiao nodded to show that she knew what to do.
In the evening, Fang Xiao Juan specially dressed herself up to serve Meng Hong Guang well at night. Then she can bring up the matter of marriage.
Who knew that when Meng Hong Guang came back and saw her beautifully dressed, he smiled and said, "How did you know that I was going to take you out tonight?"
Fang Xiao Juan's mind came to a halt for a moment. Then her eyes lit up: "I didn't know, but...are you really going to take me out?"
After half a month, Meng Hong Guang never took her out. Let alone introduce her to his colleagues and friends.
Meng Hong Guang eyed her up and down, approvingly smiled, "Deputy Director Liang asked me to go to his house for dinner tonight. Come with me!"
Fang Xiao Juan was overjoyed. Then she nervously responded: "Do you think it would be discourtesy of me to dress like this? Should I go in and change?"
Meng Hong Guang shook his head: "No need. You are so good. It's getting late, we'll depart now."
Fang Xiao Juan eagerly nodded. Before going out, she glanced at Xiao Qiao. Both of their eyes were full of joy.
But soon, she couldn't keep the smile.
She thought that Deputy Director Liang would have invited a lot of people. After she went there, she found that the other party only invited the two of them.
But this was not a problem. The problem was that the other party had been looking at her with leering eyes. It made her very uncomfortable.
She wanted to hint at Meng Hong Guang, but Meng Hong Guang seemed to act blind all night. As if he he didn't sense anything at all!
She endured the nausea and hoped to quickly go back after eating.
Unexpectedly, after the meal, Meng Hong Guang pulled her aside and softly spoke, "Xiao Juan, Director Liang likes you very much. You stay and take care of him tonight."
I knew IT! I knew he was never gonna marry her! I thought for sure he would go after her daughter which is probably why he wanted both. It just screamed of insurance policy. I swear this story just keeps getting better
ReplyDeleteOMG, I knew that guy was up to no good! Especially since he wanted both daughters, he was super sus at that time... but the 1st branch's comedy in the beginning was great. Thank you for the chapter!
