Adored Koi in the ’70s

Chapter 47

Along the way, there were people asking Qiao Zhen Min and his wife this.

"Old Fifth, why are you back today? You don't need to work at the supply and demand cooperative today? Oh, what about your daughter? Why didn't you bring her back?"

"Yeah, where's your little Wan'er? It can't be that you left her in the town?"

"Nowadays, young people are unreliable, aren't they? Since the couple are back, why didn't they bring their daughter back together?"

No matter what the villagers said, neither Qiao Zhen Min nor Chen Qiao Qiao answered.

The former had a dark face, while the latter had a pale face. Trembling as if she would fall down at any moment.

Seeing the two of them like this, the villagers immediately felt like they were placing a warm face on a cold butt.

Someone said, "Isn't that just being a temporary transporter in a supply and demand cooperative? What's so great about being a temporary transporter? To look down on people like this. If he become a permanent staff, wouldn't he ascend to heaven?"

Someone else spoke: "You probably think too much. Old Fifth isn't like that. From their bad expression, I think something may have happened!"

"Aiya, now you said, it seem like it! Tsk tsk tsk. Sure enough, some people are born with bad luck. As long as they get involved with her, not one can escape from misfortune!"

Everyone knew who this person was talking about.

Thinking about it, it seem to be the case. During this period of time, both Qiao Family and Fang Family had been unlucky!

Fang Family had it worse. A daughter-in-law died. Now the daughter-in-law's maternal family's four elderly were still at the Fang's house with no intention to leave!

Fang Family's mother and son suffered a broken leg and a twisted waist. So they could not work in the field. If this goes on, the family can only drink the northwest wind !

Some people were curious about what happened to Qiao Zhen Min and his wife. So they followed them to Qiao's house.

Qiao Zhen Guo was about to carry his Second Younger Brother over for lunch. When he pushed open the courtyard door and saw Qiao Zhen Min, he was surprised: "Fifth Younger Brother, Fifth Younger Sister-in-law, you're back? Oh, where is little Wan'er? Why isn't she with you? "

Qiao Zhen Min put one hand on his eldest brother's shoulder and uttered in a hoarse voice, "Eldest Brother, let's go in and talk about it."

Although Qiao Zhen Guo was a little naive, it wasn't like he completely couldn't read face. So he nodded and said, "Then you and Fifth Younger Sister-in-law go in first. I'll pick up Second Younger Brother."

Qiao Zhen Min nodded. He didn't look at Chen Qiao Qiao, who was behind him, and walked straight in.

"Fifth Uncle, you're back! Did you bring back anything for us?" An Ping rushed out first.

In the past, when Qiao Zhen Min came home, he would always bring back some candy and biscuits for his nephews and nieces. This was why An Ping asked this question.

Before Qiao Zhen Min could speak, Qiao Dong Ying rushed up and gave her younger brother a chestnut: "Fifth Uncle just came back and you pestered him with this. Come over and do the homework. If not, don't think about eating tonight!"

This idiot. Can't he see that Fifth Uncle's face was very ugly?

Qiao Zhen Min squeezed out a not so pretty smile and said, "Fifth Uncle forgot to buy it this time. I'll remember to bring it to you next time."

Qiao Dong Ying waved her hand: "Fifth Uncle, it's okay. Don't worry about An Ping. He is just like a pig. Only remember to eat!"

As she said that, she pinched his ears and walked into the room. An Ping howled in pain.

Wan Chun Ju walked out of the room with her arms on her back. She exploded on the spot when she saw this scene: "Dong Ying, you damn child. Can a man's ear be casually twisted? Still, not letting go?"

Qiao Dong Ying grimaced at her mom: "An Ping is only nine years old. His hair hasn't grown yet. What kind of man is he?"

This couldn't be endured!

"Elder Sister, don't underestimate people, okay? I'll grow some hair for you to see this year!" An Ping patted his chest and anxiously declared.

Wan Chun Ju was so angry that she jumped: "...You two, shut up! Don't speak of any hair or not!"

That damn girl, Dong Ying. As a girl, she got a big mouth. She was misleading her younger brother to the bad path. Should really be beaten up!

It was noisy outside. Qiao Xiu Zhi heard it even when she didn't want to.

She walked out and swept her eyes everywhere. Little Wan'er was nowhere in sight. She solemnly spoke, "Where's little Wan'er?"

She remembered what Da Qiao said and dreamed. She had a bad premonition in her heart.

Qiao Zhen Min endured it for a month, and endured it during the journey. Finally, when he saw his mom, he couldn't bear it any longer: "Mom, little Wan'er... she's lost!"

Da Qiao came out from behind her grandmother when she heard this. Thinking of the dream she had, tears fell down with a swish.

Although little Sister Wan'er ignored people and never play or talk with anyone, she was very obedient and rarely cried. But now she had been taken away by the bad guys!

Little Wan'er must be very scared and missed her parents very much. She was still so young. What if they can't find her in the future?

The more she thought about it, the more sad she became. She wept quietly.

This sound caught Qiao Zhen Min's attention.

On the way back, he kept thinking, why did Da Qiao tell him not to leave that day. Why did his mom asked him to reschedule? Did they know something?

He wildly bolted over, grabbed Da Qiao's two arms, and stated, "Da Qiao, tell Fifth Uncle, why did you tell Fifth Uncle not to leave that day? Did you know something?"

Da Qiao was taken aback and replied with a pale face, "Fifth Uncle, I don't know. I just don't want you to leave..."

That day, her fifth uncle's family was going to leave. She suddenly felt uncomfortable inside and subconsciously didn't want them to leave.

But she couldn't say for sure why.

"No. Think about it again. You must know, otherwise why would you say that kind of..." words for no reason.

Before the word "word" could be said, he was picked up by his mom from behind.

Qiao Zhen Min: "..."

Qiao Xiu Zhi carried him like a chicken and put him one meter away from Da Qiao: "Old Fifth, what are you doing?"

"Mom, you were there that day. The day I depart, Da Qiao suddenly told us not to leave and then you asked me to reschedule. It's all my fault. If only I had listened to you!"

As Qiao Zhen Min said that, he slapped himself again. Da Qiao, who was watching, was shocked and frightened.

Afraid of scaring Da Qiao, Qiao Xiu Zhi beckoned Qiao Dong He to come and take her away.

To everyone's surprise, halfway gone, Da Qiao ran back with a 'thump thump thump". She patted Fifth Uncle's shoulder with her small hand: "Fifth Uncle, don't be sad. It will get better!"

Qiao Zhen Min raised his head abruptly. He stared at Da Qiao with bloodshot eyes: "Da Qiao, what you say is true? It... will get better?"

Da Qiao looked at her fifth uncle with big dark eyes. Fifth Uncle's face was full of anticipation, as if the dying person saw a glimmer of light. So she couldn't help but nod her head.

She nodded under Fifth Uncle's hopeful gaze: "It will get better!"

Actually, Da Qiao didn't have any weird feeling this time. The reason why she ran back was because she didn't want to see her fifth uncle so sad.

She just comforted Fifth Uncle the way Auntie Hui comforted her before. Hoping that he would feel better.

But obviously Qiao Zhen Min misunderstood. At the side, Qiao Xiu Zhi also misunderstood.

After Da Qiao went out, Qiao Zhen Min hagardly looked at his mom and spoke, "Mom, tell me honestly. Does Da Qiao have... something different?"

Qiao Xiu Zhi didn't want to tell other people about it. Not even to Da Qiao's dad.

But now, if she doesn't say it, old Fifth's spirit will definitely collapse!

So she briefly told him what happened before: "I didn't want to talk about this. After all, if it were to spread out, it would be bad for Da Qiao."

"Mom!" Qiao Zhen Min cried out in despair, "Why didn't you tell me that day. If you told me, I..."

"You'll what?" Qiao Xiu Zhi coldly stated, "Can you swear that if I told you that day, you would change the time and not go?"

He wouldn't!

Qiao Zhen Min subconsciously responded in his mind. Even if his mom told him the strange things that happened with Da Qiao that day, he wouldn't take it seriously.

He won't change his decision because of this. What's more, he didn't believe in these gods and ghosts since he was a child.

He grabbed his hair and showed a painful expression again: "It's my fault. I should have listened to you!"

Qiao Xiu Zhi slapped the table. The table split in half with a bang: "Qiao Zhen Min, listen to me!"

Qiao Zhen Min was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground: "..."

"This incident is an accident. Not your fault. Nor your wife's fault. If you want to blame someone, blame the trafficker!" Qiao Xiu Zhi declared, "I noticed that you didn't even give your wife half a glance since you entered the door. What's the matter? It can't be that you want to follow your Second Brother and Third Sister's footsteps and get divorced?"

Qiao Zhen Min: "..."

Divorce had never crossed his mind. But at present he really can't face Chen Qiao Qiao!

"You and your wife are negligent in this matter. You know that there are many people in the train station and you still hand over so much money and your child to your wife. She is a woman who has never seen the world. How can she not be afraid or panic?"

Qiao Xiu Zhi wasn't satisfied with this daughter-in-law, Chen Qiao Qiao.

But again, as long as she doesn't cross the principle and bottom line, she will never interfere with their marriage.

"I know you have a knot in your heart. How do you want to deal with it? Your dad and I will not interfere. But I have to tell you that people's life is very long. Everyone makes mistakes. Some mistakes can't be forgiven at all, while some mistakes, we must learn to forgive and learn to turn a blind eye. If not, you will not be able to walk with anyone for a lifetime!"

Qiao Zhen Min clenched his hands into fists. The blue veins on the back of his hands were exposed: "Mom, if... Dad made such a mistake, would you forgive him?"

Qiao Xiu Zhi shook her head: "Impossible!"

Qiao Zhen Min's expression said 'Mom, you're playing with me': "..."

Qiao Xiu Zhi rolled her eyes at him: "What are you thinking? I mean that your dad can't make such a mistake. You don't need to compare a perfect person like your dad with you. Can't be compared. The more you compare, the more inferior you will be. The more painful it is!"

Qiao Zhen Min was caught off guard by mouthful of dog food: "..."

Qiao Xiu Zhi said sternly: "I will give you two days. You got to raise your spirit. Since the child is lost, then we will find her back. If she can't be found in a month, we will find her for a year. If she can't be found in a year, we will spend ten years of searching. As long as there is someone in our Qiao Family, we will find get to the bottom of it!"

"Mom..." Qiao Zhen Min's eyes were red like rabbits. He couldn't hold back his tears.

Male didn't cry easily. It was just the hurt didn't reach the heart.

During this period of time, his whole heart seemed to be hanging on the edge of a cliff. And there was never a moment of peace. At this moment, he calmed down after hearing his mom's words.

If he can't find her in one day, he'll search for a year. He can't find her in a year, he'll search for her for ten years. As long as she is still alive, he will not give up!

Qiao Xiu Zhi turned around and walked out. Leaving the space to him.

After she came out, Chen Qiao Qiao was still standing in the yard. She didn't even change her standing posture. Her eyes were fixed on the door. In her eyes were anticipation, despair, and fear.

Seeing her mother-in-law, Chen Qiao Qiao trembled and spoke, "Mom, Zhen Min..."

"Let him stay in there for a while. You go back and take a good shower. The rest will be discussed later!"

After Qiao Xiu Zhi finished speaking, she went to find Da Qiao.

She wondered if the kid was frightened just now.

Old woman Gu was lying flat on the side of the wall. Her expression showed she had her fill of melon seed.

She climbed down the ladder quickly and then ran out without pausing to put away the ladder.

Old Fifth Qiao's daughter was lost!

She had to hurry up and tell everyone about such a big thing!

"Hey, do you know why old Fifth Qiao looked like his dad died? I know! It turns out that his daughter was lost!"

"Do you know? Old Fifth Qiao's daughter is lost. It seems that his wife lost her!"

"Old Fifth Qiao's wife lost her daughter. Old Fifth Qiao came back this time to divorce his wife. Tsk tsk tsk, how long has it been since Qiao Family's last divorce!"

"What do you think Qiao Family is trying to do? One divorce is enough. Now two and three. It can't be that they all have to get divorced? Who else would dare to marry Qiao Family in the future?"

Old woman Fang was leaning on her crutches after going to her daughter's house to see her precious grandsons. Hearing this, she almost jumped up with joy.

"Oh, back then, they ran to my house and said that my daughter is not good here and there and forced the young couple to divorce. Now everyone sees who is the weirdo? Who is sick? My daughter is now married to Wang Family and living in bliss. Now look at this family. One, two, three. Three are divorced!"

Putting up three of her fingers, she dangled them in front of everyone.

"Our Fang Family was unlucky back then. Why did we end up with such an in-law? That calamity, Da Qiao is even worse. She has affected our Fang Family until now. Oh, yes. My daughter-in-law must have been killed by that calamity. I'm going to go back..."

Before she could finish speaking, she heard a woman rushing over from the river, shouting and screaming, "Oh, it's not good. Someone come! The children has fallen into the water!"

Children had fallen into the water?

There was not a single child in this village who didn't like to go to the river!

Fishing in the spring and swimming in the summer. The ice in the river had already melted. Recently children were often seen going to the river.

"Oh, I don't know if my Gou Wa went to the river?"

"My Gou Dan may also have gone over. I have to hurry and check!"

People with children rushed to the river.

Old woman Fang pouted when she saw everyone running away in a hurry.

Why did they all run away? She could talk about it for a long time!

Leaning on her crutches, she prepared to go home. It was then, she heard the woman, who came to report, grabbed her hand and spoke, "Old woman Fang, why are you still standing here? Your family's You Rou fell into the river. He hadn't been rescued when I came over to call people. Hurry up and go!"

Old woman Fang was stunned.

The next moment, she became angry and raised the crutches in her hand to beat the other party: "You broken-mouth woman, cursing my family's You Rou!? I will let you curse my family's You Rou! See if I don't kill you!"

She just came out of her daughter's house a moment ago. How could her two precious grandsons run to the river so quickly?

So this wicked woman must be cursing her precious grandson!

The woman grabbed the crutches that she had whacked over and pushed it back hard: "My good intention came to no good. If you don't believe me, then don't! Pah, if anything happen in the future, don't expect me to inform you Fang Family!"

After she finished speaking, she turned and left to inform the children's families.

Old woman Fang thought about it for a while, but still didn't believe it. She used her crutches and headed home step by step.

Qiao Zhen Guo uttered with excitement: "Second Younger Brother, I didn't expect you to be so sneaky. You've been hiding it from everyone for so long!"

Qiao Zhen Jun had an impressed expression. "I don't mean to hide it from everyone. I just want to practice and give everyone a surprise!"

Qiao Zhen Guo didn't keep going on about this. He laughed and said, "Dad and Mom will be very happy to see that you can walk!"

He went to Qiao's small house to carry his second younger brother to the old house for dinner. When he entered, he saw Second Younger Brother practicing walking while leaning against the wall of the room. At that time, his eyes fell to the ground.

When everyone heard that a child had fallen into the water, they rushed to the river. As they passed by these two brothers. they suddenly stopped.

They seemed to see Qiao Zhen Jun walking just now?

No. It should an illusion, right?

Qiao Zhen Jun was paralyzed to that degree. Let alone walking, even standing up was a problem. So they must be seeing things!

Everyone turned their heads back, took a closer look, and rubbed their eyes to look again.

F*ck, that person was really Qiao Zhen Jun!
