Adored Koi in the ’70s

Chapter 41

When Qiao Zhen Min came back, everyone in Qiao's old house were already prepared to sleep.

Suddenly a "dong" could be heard from outside, followed by Qiao You Rou's yelp.

"Zhen Guo, is there a thief?" Wan Chun Ju asked nervously.

Qiao Zhen Guo watched his wife's with his lips slanted to the left and replied with withheld mirth, "Wife, don't worry. Even if there is a flower thief, he will not set his eyes on you."

His mom said that when a woman is pregnant, her temper will become very strange. He deeply understood it now.

For the past two days, his wife had been complaining that he didn't know how to speak. Saying that when he opened his mouth, he will make people mad. He felt very aggrieved. He had always been an honest person and always spoke the truth.

He was so harassed that he had to secretly observe the idler in the village to see how they coaxed people for the sake of the child in the belly.

He felt that he had mastered part of the essence now. First, he should speak with a slanted mouth. Secondly, he should be humorous. He felt that what he said just now was very good.

Wan Chun Ju: "..."

F*ck off!

How could this man do this? Every time he opened his mouth, it pierced her heart like a hornet's nest!

Simply driving her mad!

Chen Qiao Qiao tightly grasped the edge of the kang table. Her mouth kept twitching.

Damn, what should she do? She desperately wanted to laugh?

Eldest Brother looked like he had epilepsy just now. However, he seemed to think he was so cool!

"WOOF WOOF..."

Outside, Qiao You Rou growled louder and louder. Although it was a puppy less than three months old, he was still very fierce in the face of strangers.

"Be good You Rou. Stop barking and I'll come back and give you meat!"

Qiao Zhen Min had stayed at home for a short time. It seem the yellow puppy had already forgotten him.

Seeing the nonstop barking now, he was as anxious as the ants on a hot pan as he feared attracting neighbors' notice.

When Qiao Xiu Zhi came out, she saw her youngest son coaxing the puppy anxiously: "Zhen Min, is that you?"

When Qiao Zhen Min saw his mom coming, he breathed a sigh of relief and responded in a hushed voice, "Mom, it's me. Hurry up and stop the barking. This stupid dog have forgotten me so soon!"

Qiao Xiu Zhi lectured Qiao You Rou a few sentences.

Qiao You Rou aggrievedly let out an "ah woo". He laid on the ground and looked at the female owner with big wet eyes.

It seem to be saying: I work so hard to watch the house and you still lecture me. This baby feel aggrieved.

Qiao Zhen Guo looked at his younger brother's thief-like appearance and said in a low voice, "Fifth Younger Brother, why don't you use the door? No need to climb over the wall?"

Qiao Zhen Min pushed his eldest brother and said, "Go in. Let's go in and talk about it."

When everyone saw him like this, they felt a little drum beat in their hearts.

Especially Wan Chun Ju. A big drama had already formed in her mind.

The more she looked at Youngest Brother, the more he looked like a criminal absconding.

Did Youngest Brother kill someone?

Or did he steal something from the supply and demand cooperative?

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She regretted not getting her man and her mother-in-law propose separating the family earlier!

After everyone came in, Qiao Zhen Min closed the doors and windows tightly. Then he took out something wrapped in black cloth from his embrace.

After the black cloth was opened, there was actually a layer of oil paper inside. Everyone's heart was lifted high.

When the oiled paper was lifted, the contents were finally revealed... The two big bundles of tenner notes!

Everyone's eyes almost fell to the ground. Their mouths were so wide that one could stuff eggs in.

Even though Qiao Xiu Zhi and Xue Chuan guessed that the Ganoderma lucidum could be sold for high price, they were still very shocked to see so much money.

Wan Chun Ju swallowed a mouthful of saliva and felt short of breath: "Mom, a lot of money!"

After she said that, she rolled her eyes and passed out!

Wan Chun Ju fainted for two reasons.

First, she had never seen so much money in her life, so she was so excited. And secondly, she scared herself. She thought she had guessed right- Youngest Brother had really committed a crime!

If he stole so much money, he would definitely be shot if he was caught. Instead of running far, he brought the money back. This was burying the whole family with him!

Qiao Zhen Guo was so excited that he was in a daze. But seeing his wife faint, he immediately recovered and carried her to the kang to lie down.

Qiao Xiu Zhi asked, "Old Fifth, how much money is there in total?"

Qiao Zhen Min's eyes swept over everyone before lowering his voice, "A total of two... thousand yuan!"

Two thousand yuan!

When Wan Chun Ju, who had just woken up, heard this, she rolled her eyes again and fainted for the second time!

"Wife, when did you become so weak?"

Qiao Zhen Guo had finally pinched his wife awake. Who knew she would faint again just after opening her eyes.

Oh, what was this considered?

It was a big loss to raise this kind of physical quality with four bowls of rice every meal!

Chen Qiao Qiao, who had been silent for a while, had trembled when she heard two thousand yuan.

Fortunately, she was much stronger than Wan Chun Ju. She didn't faint.

Qiao Xiu Zhi said, "How did you sell it for so much?"

Before, she thought that it was pretty good to sell it for about 800 yuan.

Eight hundred yuan wasn't enough to buy two houses in the town. But there was some savings at home and it will be enough using it to supplement.

She really didn't expect for it to sell for so much money!

"They found someone to inspect it. The total height of Mount Tai Ganoderma lucidum was 68cm and the width was 60cm. The age should be more than 180 years. Such a Ganoderma lucidum is hard to come by. There are a lot of people vying for it at 2,000 yuan!"

It had been half a day since Qiao Zhen Min got the money. He was still very high.

If this Ganoderma lucidum can be auctioned publicly, it will definitely be more than this price!

But the current market didn't allow it. He can only find the most secure buyer.

Xue Chuan was the most calm among all the people. When he was a child, he had seen all kinds of treasure in his family before his family completely fallen.

Later that he became very poor. Over the years, he was incompetent. Not only did he failed to let his wife and children live a good life, but in turn he needed his wife to take care of him everywhere.

Many people ridiculed him that he lost the dignity of a man when he married into the female's family. But they didn't know, what did dignity count as when he could marry Qiao Xiu Zhi as his wife?

If there is a next life, he will also marry into her family as her little husband!

Qiao Xiu Zhi rewrapped the money, looked at the crowd and declared, "I have already made arrangements for this money with your dad. We will talk about the specifics when everyone gather around tomorrow. Now all of you go back to rest."

Everyone watched helplessly as the money was packed away and then disappeared from sight. They sighed silently in their hearts.

Tonight, forget about sleeping.

Anyone who suddenly saw so much money and knew that this money belongs to their family won't be able to sleep!

Of course, the first branch was an exception.

Wan Chun Ju fainted and fell asleep. After Qiao Zhen Guo carried his wife back to the room, he laid down on the bed and didn't fall asleep in a second like usual.

After all, he was stirred up. So this time he spent a total of one minute to slumber.

In fifth branch's room.

Like the other children, Qiao Dong Wan went to bed early. She was currently sleeping on the kang with her cheeks flushed.

Qiao Zhen Min walked in, bowed his head, and kissed his daughter's face.

Maybe because the movement was too big, Qiao Dong Wan was woken up.

Qiao Dong Wan opened her eyes with a worried expression. She glanced at her dad and soon fell asleep again.

"How's little Wan'er doing recently? Have she played with her cousins?"

Qiao Zhen Min was fluffed by his daughter's sleepy appearance. He wished he could to hold her in his arms and kiss her a few times.

Chen Qiao Qiao shook her head: "Still the same. Always squatting under the tree and watching the ants. What do you think is going on with this child?"

They had took the child to the city hospital for examination. The doctor said that the child's vocal cords and ears were fine. Her brain was fine. It was just she didn't like talking.

Many times when you speak to her, she obviously heard it. But she pretended not to hear anything. Completely pretending that you didn't exist!

Every time it was like this, Chen Qiao Qiao felt pissed off!

Qiao Zhen Min sighed. There was some unspeakable sadness in his heart.

He had injury at that place. He may never have a second child in his life. And this child was like this.

Chen Qiao Qiao fetched water to wash her man's face and feet: "Why didn't you come back tomorrow?"

Qiao Zhen Min glanced at her: "Look at what you're saying. With so much money on me, how can I dare to stay in the dormitory?"

Chen Qiao Qiao pondered and agreed.

Qiao Zhen Min glanced at his daughter again and stated, "I want to borrow money from our mom and then take little Wan'er to the provincial hospital to have a look. Maybe a doctor can find out what's wrong with her."

Chen Qiao Qiao's eyes flashed. Her mouth twitched twice and finally noddingly responded an 'okay'.

Actually, if it was up to her, it was better to save the money and check him.

Their daughter can eat and drink. She was a little withdrawn. Not a big problem at all.

It was just that her man had always regarded his daughter as a treasure. He would definitely be displeased to hear her say that. So she swallowed the words in the end.

Qiao Xiu Zhi put the money in the closet box and locked it. Then she blew out the candle and laid down on the bed.

Xue Chuan stretched out his hand, grasped his wife's hand, and whispered, "Do you really want to do that tomorrow?"

He had no problem with giving a quarter of the money to buy a house in town for Da Qiao.

He was certain that Hong Xia and their two sons would have no objection. However, the two daughters-in-law.

Qiao Xiu Zhi responded: "Don't worry. I can still call the shots in this family!"

She wasn't afraid of the daughter-in-laws acting up. Nor was she afraid that they won't support her in the future. She was very confident in the children she raised.

After working until noon the next day, all the children were kicked out. Only the adults of Qiao Family gathered in the main room.

Qiao Xiu Zhi took out two thousand yuan.

When seeing the money, Qiao Zhen Jun and Qiao Hong Xia had the same reaction as the others last night. Uniformly popped eyes and opened mouth.

Wan Chun Ju was sitting next to her now. She didn't faint for the third time, but her cheeks were flushed. She was obviously very eager.

Qiao Zhen Guo glanced at his wife and said, "Wife, you can't faint anymore. If you faint again, your philtrum will be broken!"

Wan Chun Ju: "..."

Everyone turned their head to Wan Chun Ju and saw that there were obvious nail prints on her philtrum. Red and swollen marks. They didn't know whether to laugh or sympathize with her.

Qiao Xiu Zhi scanned everyone's faces and stated, "I have already had plans for this money with your dad. You guys listen. If you have any opinions, you can mention it after I finish speaking. Don't interrupt me in the middle, otherwise don't blame me for not giving you face!"

Everyone gulped a mouthful of saliva and nodded quickly.

Qiao Xiu Zhi said: "A hundred years Ganoderma lucidum sold for a total of 2,000 yuan. This Ganoderma lucidum was discovered by Da Qiao. If it weren't for her, let alone 2,000 yuan, there wouldn't even be 20 yuan. So I plan to take out 500 yuan and buy a house in town for her."

As soon as her voice fell, there was a gasp in the room.

Qiao Zhen Jun was a little anxious.

He felt that his daughter shouldn't take so much money. But thinking of what his mom said just now, he didn't dare to speak rashly.

Wan Chun Ju and Chen Qiao Qiao both clenched their fists together. The word written on their faces at the same time: Why?

However, they didn't dare to speak up.

Qiao Zhen Guo was a mommy boy. He had no objection to whatever his mom said.

As for Qiao Zhen Min, he did feel a little uncomfortable in his heart. He soon digested this discomfort.

Just like what his mom said, Da Qiao found this century-old Ganoderma lucidum. If it wasn't for her, everyone wouldn't get a penny.

Now, they receive such a huge benefit as well. What else was there to complain about?

Qiao Xiu Zhi took in everyone's faces and continued: "In addition, I want to take out five hundred yuan to buy another house in the town. The name written on this house is old Fifth."

Before it was for Da Qiao, Wan Chun Ju could hold back. But when she heard this, she couldn't hold back: "Mom, doing this is so unfair!"

Qiao Xiu Zhi gave her a cold look: "Shut up or go out by yourself?"

Wan Chun Ju was furious!

Qiao Zhen Guo spoke, "Mom said ugly people are more likely to act up. Wife, don't be like this all the time."

Wan Chun Ju was so angry that she almost vomited blood: "..."

Qiao Xiu Zhi continued: "Although the name written is old Fifth, it's not old Fifth's. This is so that he can become a permanent worker. After the become a permanent employee, the salary will increase. At that time, old Fifth will bring 60% of the salary home. Old Fifth, think about it yourself. Give me an exact answer later."

"For the remaining 1,000 yuan, I'm going to spend 300 yuan to repair the house. The other 700 yuan will not be used for the time being. In the future, I will use it as the children's education fund. Whether it's a grandson or a granddaughter, as long as they can study, I will provide for their study."

After she finished speaking, she looked at everyone and declared, "You can speak now. One by one. Who wants to speak first?"

Wan Chun Ju wanted to protest, but she was scolded just now. She was still a little scared. After thinking about it, she won't be this early bird.

Qiao Zhen Jun wanted to speak, but unfortunately his mom didn't even give him a glance.

Qiao Zhen Jun: ...

Qiao Zhen Guo had no objection and so it was negligible.

In the end, it was only Qiao Zhen Min: "Mom, I don't want the house."

Hearing her man's words, Chen Qiao Qiao's face changed.

But she was used to letting her husband call the shots outside, so she forcefully swallowed it down.

Qiao Zhen Min continued: "I'm not going to work for the supply and demand cooperative. So don't need to buy this house. However, I plan to borrow money from Mom and Dad. I want to take little Wan'er to the province to have a look. Little Wan'er always ignores people like this. I'm afraid there is something wrong with her."

The work at supply and demand cooperative was pretty good before. But since the new director came, he had been suppressed at every corner.

He had recently met a group of new friends and gained new ideas. The specifics hadn't been determined yet. If her mother hadn't suddenly started talking about this matter, he wouldn't have planned to say it.

Qiao Xiu Zhi has never showed preference for sons over daughters. Naturally she won't refuse: "Little Wan'er indeed have a problem. You can take her to the provincial hospital for a check-up. If the provincial hospital doesn't work, then go to the capital."

"Mom, thank you!" Qiao Zhen Min couldn't help but reddened his eyes.

But what he didn't expect was that this trip had become the most regretful decision he had ever made in his life.
