AKIT7 123




Chapter 123


She... shouldn't be wrong, right?

Little sow and little boar, little hen and little rooster. When all get together, they'll give birth to little cubs...

In other words, Elder Brother Huo Chi wanted to have a cub with her!

Elder Brother Huo Chi, he is so, so bad!

Da Qiao's face was as red as cooked shrimp. Even her neck and ears were flushed!

Qiao Dong Wan's voice suddenly came from outside: "Elder Sister, Eldest Brother-in-law is here. What are you doing inside?"

"I-I didn't do anything."

Only then did Da Qiao hurriedly put away the letter. When Qiao Dong Wan came in, her cheeks were still flushed and her eyes were dodgy.

Her behavior was suspicious to point that Qiao Dong Wan, who hadn't sensed it at first, became suspicious: "Elder Sister, do you have a fever?"

Da Qiao fanned herself with her hand: "No, I'm red because the weather is too hot. Yes, it's too hot!"

Qiao Dong Wan doubtfully eyed her.

At this moment, Dai Xiao Xue walked in and spoke with a carefree look: "Elder Sister Da Qiao, I just saw my elder cousin brother secretly stuffed a letter to you. Is that letter for you? You two meet every day, why do you still write? Is there anything he can't say to your face?"

The slightly subsided heat on Da Qiao's face burned again because of these words.

What Elder Brother Huo Chi wanted to say to her really couldn't be said face to face, let alone let other people know.

She hesitated for a long time and couldn't utter a word.

Dai Xiao Xue wanted to continue to ask, but was distracted by Qiao Dong Wan: "Okay, they're still waiting outside for us. Let's go!"

Due to this interruption, Dai Xiao Xue's attention was immediately diverted. She hurriedly dragged the two people out.

Da Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.

——

Today's Luo's house was very lively.

First, there were many relatives in Luo Family. Secondly, Luo Family intended to give face to Qiao Family. Expressing; they weren't fooling or belittling Qiao Dong He despite the rushed wedding.

Qiao Family did feel this sincerity, so everyone was happy.

Only Mother Luo felt a little uncomfortable.

Now that family planning was implemented, even if Qiao Dong He has a male child, they can only have one child. And, there is no guarantee that the child will be a son!

These days, her heart had been broken over the issue of Luo Family's descendants.

Just a few days ago, she got a recipe from a distant relative in the countryside. The relative said that as long as it was fed to a woman, it would guarantee a baby boy in one fell swoop!

At this moment, she had boiled the traditional Chinese herbs into a remedy and came to Luo Jun Liang and Qiao Dong He's bridal room. Pushing the traditional Chinese medicine into her hand, she stated, "Drink it."

Qiao Dong He looked at the stench-making thing in front of her eyes. It was pitch black. One couldn't see what kind of traditional Chinese herbs made it. She resisted: "Mom, what is this? Why does it smell so strange?"

"What strange or not? This is a good thing. Since I told you to drink it, drink it. Why do you ask so many questions?"

Mother Luo shoved the bowl into her hand and stared at her.

The stench hit the nose and Qiao Dong Wan felt nauseated. She almost vomited: "Mom, how about you don't leave it there. I'll drink it later."

When Mother Luo heard this, her face instantly fell: "I went through so much difficulties to get this good things back from someone. Do you think I'm harming you? If you were willing to listen to me before, get married and have children earlier, would I have it hard? I'm just asking you to drink this tonic. And you're making all kinds of excuses. Do you hold some opinion against me, the mother-in-law? "

Qiao Dong He's face turned pale. She quickly waved her hand and said, "Mom, I have none against you. My stomach just feel a little upset. I'll drink it later."

"No! Drink right now!"

Mother Luo remembered the previous events. Old grudge and new grudge burst into mind. Her determination was set on forcing Qiao Dong He to drink the Chinese medicine.

Qiao Dong He didn't want to drink it. Just the smell was enough to get her nauseous.

Putting aside that she didn't know what was in it, it would it affect the baby in her stomach after drinking it!

But she didn't want to have a conflict on the first day she got married, not to mention that all the guests outside haven't left yet. If it get big, everyone will only say that her, the new daughter-in-law, insensible.

One side was weak, while the other became stronger.

Mother Luo sensed Qiao Dong He's retreat and became more and more arrogant. She picked up the Chinese medicine to force it in her.

Seeing that she was about to succeed, Da Qiao rushed in like a bolt.

She grabbed the bowl from Mother Luo's hand and frowned, "Aunt Luo, what are you doing?"

Mother Luo was vexed and annoyed when she saw Da Qiao snatching the traditional Chinese medicine: "This is a nourishing tonic. Drinking it is good for your cousin. Dong He will be a member of our Luo family in the future. Naturally, I will dote her."

But she didn't dare to direct her temper at Da Qiao. After all, she had heard of how much Qiao Family treasure this granddaughter, Da Qiao.

Besides, Da Qiao was the top scorer of this year's college entrance examination. With such a halo, she dare not confront Da Qiao in person.

Da Qiao sniffed the contents of the bowl and almost retched: "Since Aunt Luo said it was a good thing, then Aunt Luo should drink it herself!"

Mother Luo's face turned red and white: "I'm not going birth children, why would I drink? This is for your elder cousin sister. You are still young. If you want to drink in the future, I will get it for you!"

Da Qiao suddenly recalled the letter Huo Chi wrote to her. Her face blushed slightly and replied, "Thank you Aunt Luo for your kindness, but I don't need it. Neither does my elder cousin sister!"

As she said that, she ignored Mother Luo's black as the bottom of a pot's face and poured the Chinese medicine into the ditch outside.

Mother Luo was about to explode: "You...what are you doing? This is the secret recipe I bought for fifty yuan!"

Da Qiao didn't believe in any secret recipe: "Aunt Luo, please give me the recipe. Once I check with doctor and the doctor confirm there is no problem, I will come back to apologize to you!"

Mother Luo didn't want to confront the rest of Qiao Family, so she directed her fire on Qiao Dong He: "Dong He, aren't you going to say something as the elder sister when your younger sister is being insensible?"

Qiao Dong He's face was flushed red as her hands were twisting the corners of her clothes. A sudden nausea came up and had her running to the side and retched.

Seeing her like this, Mother Luo's angry rose; thinking that she was purposely pretending.

Just when she was about to attack, Qiao Dong Ying brought her grandmother over.

Seeing Qiao Xiu Zhi, Mother Luo lost her momentum and forced a smile: "In-law's grandmother, why are you... here?"

Qiao Xiu Zhi coldly swept her gaze to her face: "On the first day of my granddaughter's marriage, you're making things difficult for her like this. I think we might as well not tie this marriage! Dong He, come back with me!"

Mother Luo froze on the spot!

She had heard of Qiao Xiu Zhi's three children's divorce. She hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes and assumed those rumors were exaggerated.

She never imagined that the other party would not even do the slightest courtesy- persuading split upon arrival!

Mother Luo came back to her senses and immediately became nervous: "In-law's grandmother... There's no need for things to get to that point, right?"

Qiao Xiu Zhi didn't even look at her. She stretched out her hand to Qiao Dong He and said, "Come back with Grandmother. This is only beginning, they've treated you like this. They won't cherish you in the future!"

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Qiao Xiu Zhi, Mother Luo quickly turned around and latched onto Qiao Dong He, "Dong He, Mom knows her wrong. Quickly tell your grandmother that Mom has never abused you!"

Mother Luo felt very aggrieved.

They didn't listen to them when she told them to get married sooner. But now, for the sake of future descendent, she had worked so hard to find remedies for her. And no one appreciate her!

Simply pissing her off!

·

Qiao Dong He pinched the corner of her clothes; clearly on the spot.

At the sight of Qiao Dong He's hesitation, Qiao Dong He continued: "Dong He, you have been with Jun Liang for a good few years. If you leave like this, Jun Liang will have to fight with me!"

Actually, what she wanted to express was that Qiao Dong He had been with her son for a good few years. Even if they didn't sleep, she was no longer an 'innocent' girl in the eyes of others. So which decent family would want her?

Look, she was hesitating. She must have thought of this and fear that if she left her son, she would never find a good man again!

Mother Luo didn't show it on the surface, but the flash of contempt in her eyes had long since revealed her true thoughts.

The rest of Qiao Family saw it. Only Qiao Dong He didn't.

At this moment, Luo Jun Liang came over. Qiao Dong He seemed to have found her mountain.

After Luo Jun Liang knew what happened, he first apologized to Qiao Family for his mom. Then he comforted Qiao Dong He.

After Luo Jun Liang's persuasion, the grievance in Qiao Dong He's heart instantly disappeared.

After Mother Luo and Luo Jun Liang left.

Qiao Xiu Zhi looked at Qiao Dong He and sighed, "It seems that what I said to you last time was in vain!"

What she said just now wasn't really wanting her and Luo Jun Liang to break up. After all, they already have a baby together. So it wasn't easy to break up.

What she wanted was for Qiao Dong He to show a stance to Mother Luo; to let the other party know that she didn't have to marry Luo Jun Liang. Even if she did, she could leave at any time as long as the other party didn't respect her.

Qiao Dong He obviously didn't understand her intention.

What's more, she was too soft. Can't stand up, then she can only be beaten!

The blood on Qiao Dong He's face seemed to be drained away: "Grandmother, I..."

Qiao Xiu Zhi waved her hand: "You don't need to speak. This is the path you choose. Live your life well."

After she finished speaking, she ignored Qiao Dong He and turned away.

Qiao Dong Ying looked at her elder sister with an expression wishing that for iron to turn into steel: "Elder Sister, why didn't you go along with what Grandmother said just now? You will only make your mother-in-law look down on you more and more. You... you are so disappointing to us!"

From the start, Qiao Dong He's face was thin. After being lectured by two relatives in a row, she couldn't hold back her tears any longer.

Qiao Dong Ying wanted to continued, but was stopped by Da Qiao: "Elder Sister Ying, don't speak!"

Qiao Dong Ying stomped away.

Qiao Dong He cried harder. Da Qiao had to stay to comfort her elder cousin sister.

After much effort, Da Qiao coaxed elder cousin sister. She turned around and bought in a basin of warm water.

While wiping her face, Qiao Dong He choked out, "Da Qiao, do you also think I did something wrong?"

There was a short silence before Da Qiao replied: "Elder Cousin Sister, I don't think this is a matter of right or wrong. You should know that drawing back will not bring you what you want. Instead, it will condone the other party to reach a foot after getting an inch. Just now, Grandmother want you to go because she want you to be tough. This way, Aunt Luo will not dare to bully you in the future. You have wasted Grandmother's good thought."

Hearing this, Qiao Dong He's eyes turned red again: "I'm useless. I made Grandmother disappointed."

Da Qiao originally wanted to add a few more words. But at sight her teary face, she swallowed those words back.

Judging from Elder Cousin Sister's behavior, there might be trouble in the future.

In the end, the banquet came to an end in 'perfect harmony' under everyone's cooperation for peace.

Qiao Dong He stayed at Luo's house for a few days. Then the couple used the excuse of still having research to do at school and packed up and returned to the capital.

Mother Luo originally wanted to follow them to take care of them, but was stopped by Luo Qing.

Seeing this, Qiao Dong He breathed a sigh of relief.

However, this was another story.

——

The day after Da Qiao returned from Luo's house, she made an appointment with Huo Chi. The two came to a deserted creek.

As the sun went down, the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the water surface red. The water surface sparkled and glimmered. The reed grass on the opposite side of the stream nodded along with the wind. Occasional birds flew diagonally over.

Da Qiao was sitting on a large rock. It was unknown whether it was reflected by the setting sun or because of shyness, her face was flushed red. It looked better than rouge.

Although Huo Chi tried his best to remain calm, the red tips of his ears betrayed his mental state long ago.

The summer wind blew and neither of them spoke.

The air was filled with invisible ambiguous feel.

In the end, Huo Chi coughed and broke the silence: "Nian Nian, you asked me to come here. Do you...have something to tell me?"

Da Qiao blushed and nodded: "Elder Brother Huo Chi, what you said in the letter... are you serious?"

Huo Chi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Of course, I'm serious."

Da Qiao bit her pink lips and blushed: "Elder Brother Huo Chi, about you wanting to be my... little boar, I agree."

Huo Chi: ? ? ?

Although he used the analogy of a little boar and a little rooster, the way she worded it seemed a little strange.

But that's not the point. SHE! AGREED!

His face flushed red and his eyes were fixed on her face: "Nian Nian, do you really agree?"

Da Qiao shyly nodded: "But Elder Brother Huo Chi, I'm still too young to have a cub with you. Can you wait for me for a few more years?"

Cub?!

No!

Huo Chi had never thought things that far!

He only wanted to make Da Qiao open up and come to like him. Unexpectedly, the other party either don't open up or open up completely. She even thought of giving birth to a child!

Huo Chi's nose almost bleed out at the thought of them giving birth to a baby.

Seeing that he didn't move, Da Qiao softly spoke, "If you don't make a sound, then I'll take it as you agree?"

Huo Chi was in stunned state. He dazedly nodded: "Nian Nian, I am willing to be your little boar!"

When they get married, they will have a litter of piglets!

Da Qiao's face turned red again. Her long and dense eyelashes blinked and his voice softly uttered: "In the past, the pigs in the production team had stamps on their bodies. Elder Brother Huo Chi, since you are mine, I will give one too!"

After she finished speaking, she leaned over and gave him a peck on the face.

Then she turn around and dashed away.

Huo Chi: ! ! !

He was initially thinking about how she was going to stamp him. Just like the way the pigs were? Without warning, her soft lips stuck on the next moment.

His mind exploded like fireworks.

A hot stream ran down his nose.

He reached out and touched it. Blood appeared in one hand!

The author has something to say: roar, the title of this article has been changed from "70s' prosperous little dumpling' to 'adored koi in the 70s'. You'll still be able to find it!

  3. Really hope QDH can grow a backbone, was a little disappointed that she didn’t heed her grandmother’s advice and almost submitted to her mother-in-law…

    However, I understand that changing one’s personality takes a while, but for her sake and her child’s, I hope QDH can toughen up.
