Adored Koi in the ’70s

Chapter 70

Wang Shui Sheng and his wife were stunned when they heard the knock on the door.

It was so late. Who would knocking at this time?

Two people in Wang Family died in a row. Wang Xin sheng didn't die of natural causes. The production team found it unlucky. If they can, they won't come to Wang Family. So for this person to come this late, something must have happened!

Wang Shui Sheng got up from the bed and spoke, "I'll go out and have a look."

Liu Cui Hua remembered Wang Xin Sheng's death and trembled for no reason. Then she got up and said, "I'll go with you."

It was pitch black outside. Unknown night bugs chirped in the cracks of the stones.

A gust of night wind blew. A cat meow sounded from out of nowhere and caused Liu Cui Hua's legs to soften on the spot.

Could it be Mother-in-law coming back?

Or was it the younger brother who committed suicide and can't be reincarnated?

The more Liu Cui Hua thought about it, the more frightened she became. She hugged her man's hand tightly with both hands, almost as if she could be dragged away.

Wang Shui Sheng felt speechless for a while. He opened the door and looked. His eyes widened. He couldn't utter a word for a long time!

The man in the night looked tired. After seeing Wang Shui Sheng, the corner of his mouth twitched: "Eldest Brother, Eldest Sister-in-law, I hope I didn't disturb your rest?"

Liu Cui Hua took a look through the hazy night and shrieked the next moment: "Old Third? Why is it you?"

Wang Shui Sheng also came back to his senses. With an excited look on his face: "Third Younger Brother, why didn't you tell Eldest Brother that you are coming back? I can go pick you up!"

Old Third Wang, that was, Wang Yan Sheng, smiled and answered, "I'm in my twenties. Why would I need Eldest Brother pick me up?"

Wang Yan Sheng was very busy in the army and hadn't returned home for more than two years.

This time, when he came back from the mission, he realized that something big happened at home. He immediately asked his teacher for leave and hurried back in a rush!

Seeing that everyone was standing outside, Liu Cui Hua pushed her man and urged, "What's the point of standing at the door? Still, not letting Third Younger Brother in?"

Wang Shui Sheng repeatedly nodded: "Third Younger Brother, quickly come in. Child's mom, old Third must be hungry from coming back so late. Go make a bowl of noodles!"

Wang Yan Sheng was in a hurry to go home and didn't even eat dinner. He was starving at the moment: "Then I'll trouble Eldest Sister-in-law. Since it's so late that you don't have to make noodles. Anything will do!"

Liu Cui Hua smiled and said, "It's alright. No trouble at all!"

If she was asked to make noodles for the dead Wang Xin Sheng, she would definitely not be unwilling. Old Third was different!

Why did Wang Family become the richest family in the entire production team? Why were they able to build seven large tile-roofed houses in one go? It was all thanks to old Third!

If he hadn't gone to the army to work hard by himself long ago and sent so much money back every month, Wang Family wouldn't be rich. Her man wouldn't be able to be the production team leader!

So she more than willing to make this bowl of noodles!

"Drink some water first. I'll get you some hot water for you to wash your face."

After entering the main room, Wang Shui Sheng took out a new enamel tank. After cleaning up, he poured a glass of warm water for Wang Yan Sheng.

Wang Yan Sheng quickly stood up: "Eldest Brother, no need. I'll do it myself!"

Wang Shui Sheng waved his hand and went out.

Before when Fifth Younger Brother and his mom met with mishap one after another, he called the army but couldn't get in touch with Third Younger Brother. His heart kept feeling unsettled.

Now that Third Younger Brother was back, it was like he found the magic cudgel and his heart settled down!

After busying away for a moment, the two brothers sat down to talk.

Wang Yan Sheng took a sip of water and asked, "Is everything fine at home?"

Wang Shui Sheng sighed. His dark face looked like he gone through a lot under the candlelight.

How can it be fine?

Two people died in a row in the family. His dad's health suddenly took a spiral. All day long, he sighed. These days, he was lying in bed and couldn't get out of bed. It seem like he can't get better.

Wang Yan Sheng still didn't know the whole story, so he said, "Eldest Brother, tell me everything."

Wang Shui Sheng recounted the whole matter.

After listening, Wang Yan Sheng raised his eyebrows and said, "So you kicked out Fang Xiao Juan mother and daughter after the funeral?"

Wang Shui Sheng's heart jumped at Third Younger Brother's uncertain reaction: "This... I know that we are doing something wrong, but she caused Third Younger Brother and Mom's death. Now even Dad isn't faring well either!"

When it came to treating Fang Xiao Juan, they were indeed bullying the other party.

But did they want to do this? They didn't want it at all!

When Fang Xiao Juan entered the door in that way, everyone was mad. Still they let her in and never treated her harshly in anything.

Later, Fifth Younger Brother committed a crime. He had hooked up with a female educated youth and almost caused a fatal accident. He did want to kill him at that time. At that time, Wang Family had wanted to compensate Fang Xiao Juan. Of course, it was due to not wanting her to report.

But everything changed after Fifth Younger Brother committed suicide. Their mom had a stroke on the spot when she saw Fifth Younger Brother's corpse and passed away in less than 12 hours without leaving a word!

In that case, how could they let Fang Xiao Juan stay in Wang Family?

Moreover, his dad couldn't stand the sight Fang Xiao Juan at all. If Fang Xiao Juan was allowed to stay, maybe Wang Family would have another funeral soon!

Wang Yan Sheng heard his eldest brother's defense and laughed mockingly: "So now, you don't think it's Fifth Younger Brother's fault?"

Under his third younger brother's gaze, Wang Shui Sheng inexplicably felt guilty: "Fifth Younger Brother was wrong, but he had paid the price for his mistake. He didn't want to drag down our entire Wang Family. He committed suicide so we won't be continued to be threatened by Fang Xiao Juan!"

Wang Yan Sheng couldn't help but laugh.

There was a saying in ancient times that people die like a lamp goes out. It seem that once a person dies, the sins they have done in the past are cancelled out. The people around them will suddenly have amnesia and forget all the bad things they did during their lifetime.

It seemed ridiculous to him!

Was Fang Xiao Juan in the wrong?

Of course was!

Even before she divorced Qiao Zhen Jun, she hooked up with his fifth younger brother and conceived a baby. From this aspect, the two of them were jackals from the same lair!

Still, Fang Xiao Juan can't be blamed for the death of his mom and fifth younger brother. The root cause was his fifth brother's own sin!

Besides, him committing suicide for the sake of the family? He didn't believe a word of it!

Wang Shui Sheng was even more flustered by his third younger brother's laugh. But before he could speak, Liu Cui Hua walked in with a bowl of noodles.

The noodles were made of high gluten flour. An egg laid on top with a sprinkle of green onions. It looked very appetizing.

Liu Cui Hua put the old porcelain bowl on the table and merrily spoke: "Third Younger Brother, come over and eat. Eldest Sister-in-law remember that you like to eat green onions. I sprinkled a lot on. Unfortunately there is no coriander at home, otherwise it will be more fragrant!"

Wang Yan Sheng took in his eldest sister-in-law's sincere smile. Also, when he came back, Eldest Brother busied away for him. He couldn't say anything harsh to him: "Thank you, Eldest Sister-in-law."

"No need to thank. Everyone is one family. Quickly eat!" Liu Cui Hua ushered. After she finished speaking, she turned around and went out.

Wang Yan Sheng was really hungry. He slurped in big mouthfuls.

The noodles were firm and elastic. The egg yolk was perfectly orange and fragrant. There was a piece of pork belly hidden underneath. It made him feel the warmth of home even more.

In less than ten minutes, a large bowl of noodles was finished by him.

He casually wiped his mouth and said, "Eldest Brother, since Fang Xiao Juan's matter has already been done, so be it. But you must restrain the family so that they can no longer fight against her and Fang Family."

He didn't understand why Fang Xiao Juan chose to swallow her anger. Still, the dog jumped over the wall, when anxious. Nor were Fang Family easy to handle. If they were forced to the corner, it's unknown which side actually suffer at that time!

Wang Shui Sheng was relieved when he saw Third Younger Brother's expression suddenly softened. He nodded again and again: "I know this. Everyone in the family can't wait to stay away from Fang Family. We will definitely not provoke them!"

In fact, apart from driving Fang Xiao Juan out of Wang Family, Wang Family didn't do anything overboard to her after that.

Fang Xiao Juan said that the thatched hut was unlivable. So he led Second Younger Brother and Fourth Younger Brother over to repair it. She said her health was bad due to bad post-natal confinement. So he arranged a very light job for her.

It was just that a person like Fang Xiao Juan really can't make people treat her well!

Seeing how he was easy to talk the past few times, she immediately demanded him cheat and give her a few more work points!

Why did Fifth Younger Brother get entangled with this kind of woman out of everyone in the first place!

Although Eldest Brother was a little filial, his heart wasn't bad. So Wang Yan Sheng wasn't worried about Eldest Brother going along with everything

He stood up with the bowl and said, "It's getting late. Eldest Brother rest early. We'll talk tomorrow if there's anything to discuss!"

Wang Shui Sheng stood up as well: "Alright. By the way, how many days is Third Younger Brother going to stay this time?"

Wang Yan Sheng answered, "I have fifteen days of vacation. I can stay at home for ten days, after excluding the time for the journey."

A smile appeared on Wang Shui Sheng's face: "Great. You haven't come back for a few years, so you should stay at home for a few more days. Dad will be delighted to see you tomorrow!"

Since Fang Xiao Juan moved out, the room where Wang Xin Sheng lived before was still empty. No one in Wang Family dared to live there.

As for the room assigned to Wang Yan Sheng. Due to not being home all the year round, it was now inhabited by the few nephews. Wang Yan Sheng wasn't afraid of ghosts and spirits. He planned to go to his fifth younger brother's room to sleep.

Walking out of the threshold, he suddenly stopped and spoke, "Eldest Brother, are you sure that the corpse is Fifth Younger Brother?"

Wang Shui Sheng was stunned for a moment before nodded: "I have identified it. Although the corpse was soaked until swollen, his facial features are a bit like Fifth Younger Brother. The height and the clothes can match. It should be him."

Mainly, if it wasn't him, whose corpse was it?

How could there be someone wearing Fifth Younger Brother's clothes and look exactly like him?

He recalled about the fact about the scar on the corpse and added: "But there is a very long scar on the Fifth Younger Brother's left eyebrow. I don't know why that spot on the corpse happened to be missing a piece of meat."

Wang Yan Sheng's eyes narrowed: "You mean that Fifth Younger Brother's body was destroyed and the most obvious feature cannot be use as identification?"

Seeing his third younger brother suddenly being so serious, Wang Shui Sheng couldn't help but get nervous: "I asked the police. He said that it might have hit a rock by the river, or it might have been bitten by a fish...Is there any problem?"

Wang Yan Sheng's facial features were pencil straight. At this time, he pursed his lips and did not speak.

In front of him, Wang Shui Sheng couldn't uphold big brother stance at all.

Wang Yan Sheng continued to questioned, "When was Fifth Younger Brother buried?"

When Wang Shui Sheng heard him ask this, he could sense something wrong no matter how stupid he could be: "Third Younger Brother, what are you trying to do? You... you couldn't possibly suspect that the corpse isn't Fifth Younger Brother, right?"

Wang Yan Sheng didn't nod. Nor did he deny it either.

He did suspect the corpse wasn't Fifth Younger Brother.

Not to mention the fact that the corpse happened to be destroyed on the left eyebrow, he didn't believe Fifth Younger Brother would commit suicide for the sake of his family according to his personality!

As long as he had a conscience, he won't get his parents and elder brothers to support him at this age. Nor would he do a series of things that can get him executed!

So he didn't believe the talk about doing it for family from the beginning!

When Wang Shui Sheng saw his third younger brother like this, his heart became more and more uncertain.

After a long time, he sighed and uttered, "I think you think too much. Your second elder brother personally witnessed him jump into the river. Beside, the corpse's facial features are very similar. Even without the scar, you can't say it isn't Fifth Younger Brother. If he isn't Fifth Younger Brother, whose body is it? Where did Fifth Younger Brother go? Why did he pretend to be dead?"

Wang Yan Sheng couldn't answer his eldest brother's words.

If he knew, he wouldn't be standing here now!

Wang Shui Sheng was afraid that he would do something "rebellious" and hurriedly warned: "Third Younger Brother, Dad's health is very bad. You mustn't come up with any strange ideas."

For example, digging a grave for an autopsy or something. Don't even think about it!

Although the old man was very disappointed with Fifth Younger Brother, that was still his youngest son who he had been doting for so many years. The white-haired man sent the black-haired man. On top of that, his wife also left. He suffered a heavy blow all of a sudden. Now the smoke-addict don't smoke anymore.

So if Third Younger Brother really did that, it would take the old man's life!

Wang Yan Sheng thought of his dad. He patted his eldest brother on the shoulder and said, "It's late. Eldest Brother, go to bed."

After speaking, he strode away.

Wang Shui Sheng watched Third Younger Brother's back with unease.

...

Da Qiao woke up early the next morning. After dressing up neatly, she prepared to head to the old house and go with Grandmother to the health clinic to visit her eldest aunt and the newborn baby.

After the aunt went to the health clinic last night, their family soon returned to Qiao's small house. So she still didn't know whether Eldest Aunt gave birth to a little sister or a little brother.

But as soon as she walked to the door, two sticky buns glued on her.

"Elder Sister Da Qiao, we're going too!" The two little dumplings said in unison in their baby voice.

Da Qiao pondered for a while and responded, "Okay. You all come with me. But I have to say this beforehand, you have to be good!"

The two little dumplings immediately nodded like pecking chicks: "We are always good!"

So, Da Qiao went to Qiao's old house with two 'always well behaved' small dumplings.

Along the way, everyone saw the three little dumplings holding hands in hands. The three's faces were fair and tender. The clothes on their bodies were clean. So much better than other children in the village. They couldn't help give a few more glances.

Others couldn't help but sigh: "I really don't know how Qiao Family raises children. Each child is more beautiful than the other. I really want to ask them for guidance on raising children!"

Everyone nodded when they heard this.

Da Qiao and her two younger brothers arrived at Qiao's old house and saw two elder cousin sisters doing laundry.

"Younger Sister Qiao, why are you here so early?"

When Qiao Dong He saw the three little dumplings holding hands, the adorableness hit her face pink.

"Elder Sister Dong He, we came to see the baby with Grandmother!" Da Qiao walked over and found her elder cousin sister washing baby clothes.

The baby clothes looked so tiny. She found it very novel.

Qiao Dong He replied: "Grandmother is still making the ginger vinegar egg soup. Sit at one side and wait for a while."

The custom here was to eat ginger vinegar egg soup for a month during post-natal confinement. If the family didn't have this condition, they would drink brown sugar water for two or three days. If their condition was even worse, they didn't even get to drink brown sugar water!

Da Qiao didn't go to sit. Instead, she ran over to help the two elder cousin sisters wash: "Elder Sister Dong He, have you seen the baby? Is it a younger brother or a younger sister?"

"It's younger sister." This time it was Qiao Dong Ying who spoke. She winked, "When you go over later, remember to stay away from my mom!"

Since her mom gave birth to her little sister, the expression on her face had been very stinky. The two sisters delivered meal in the morning and got shouted at for no reason.

After thinking about it for a while, Da Qiao understood in her heart. Quickly, she softly spoke: "Elder Sister Ying, don't worry. I will stay away from Eldest Aunt in a while! But these clothes don't look dirty. Why do they need to be washed?"

Qiao Dong He replied: "The babies' skin are very tender when they are just born. These clothes have been sitting around for a long time. Grandmother told us to rinse it with warm water so that the baby will not be hurt."

Da Qiao nodded and quickly kept this little knowledge in mind.

Her mom's belly reached over four months now. In five months, she will be an elder sister. She must remember these things!

Qiao Dong He took in her younger sister's serious expression and she fell in deeper love again.

Half an hour later, Da Qiao and her two younger brothers went with Grandmother to the clinic.

Sure enough, as soon as they entered the door, they saw Eldest Aunt with a dark face. As if she was owed two hundred and fifty yuan!

She whispered to her two younger brothers, "You guys have to stick to Elder Sister in a bit. Don't get close to Eldest Aunt, understand?"

"Understood, Elder Sister Da Qiao!"

The two little dumplings copied her and lowered their voices. The three of them gathered together like little mice.

Wan Chun Ju saw this. Her expression became even worse: "You three. Don't you see your younger sister is sleeping? Did you come here on purpose to disturb her?"

These words made people speechless.

The voices of the three of them combined weren't as loud as hers alone!

Sure enough, little Dong Yun frowned and cried with a "WAA"!

Wan Chun Ju was even more annoyed: "Cry, cry, cry. All day long, only know to cry. So annoy..."

But before the words were finished, she swallowed it back when she caught sight of the figure at the door.

Qiao Xiu Zhi went out to rinse the dishes and cutlery just now. When she walked to the door, she heard her eldest daughter-in-law scolding.

She walked in and warned with a sullen face: "Eldest's wife, if you don't want to raise, don't get pregnant in the first place. Since she's already born, you got to raise her!"

Wan Chun Ju shivered all over and repeatedly nodded: "I didn't say I wouldn't raise her... I just feel a little depressed."

It was more than a little. It was completely depressing!

After longing for her son for more than eight months, it suddenly became a daughter. How could she bear this?

What was even worse was that when she was pregnant, she boasted her son in her belly everywhere. If the production team knew that she had given birth to a daughter, who knew how they would laugh at her!

And Lin Hui, she will give birth in five months. What if she has a son?

With so many reasons above, how could she not feel depressed?

But the more she looked at the little daughter, the less pleasing she was to her eye!

Qiao Xiu Zhi gave her a cool gaze, but did not continue to scold her.

She knew that Eldest Daughter-in-law preferred sons over daughters. When she gave birth to the first two daughters, her dark face displayed disdain.

Still, Wan Chun Ju knew proportions. She would breastfeed when it was time to breastfeed. She paid attention the baby. She would guard the baby all night when the baby get sick. Much better than Fang Xiao Juan.

Thinking of Fang Xiao Juan, Qiao Xiu Zhi couldn't help but look at Da Qiao beside her.

Now this child was fair and tender. Her small face got flesh and was rosy. Completely different from half a year ago.

At the beginning, she separated Fang Xiao Juan out because she hated Fang Xiao Juan. So she basically didn't interfere in the affairs of the small house.

She and Xue Chuan knew that Fang Xiao Juan didn't like Da Qiao. But Fang Xiao Juan never beat or scolded the children in front of them or old Second.

Later, seeing the child getting thinner and thinner. When asked, Fang Xiao Juan said Da Qiao had a bad stomach and couldn't eat too much. Once consume too much, she would vomit. Qiao Xiu Zhi had asked Da Qiao herself and the child confirmed her mom's words, saying she can't eat it.

Xue Chuan's health wasn't very good during those years. She had to take care of her husband and work in the field, so she couldn't pay heed so much. Since Fang Xiao Juan didn't commit anything overboard. she didn't intervene.

Now that she thought about it, she suddenly felt she wronged this child.

In the past, she didn't have the child in her heart. So she didn't feel distressed. But now she can't see her being aggrieved at all.

Da Qiao sensed her grandmother's gaze. She turned back and showed her small teeth as she smiled sweetly: "Grandmother, why are you looking at me?"

Qiao Xiu Zhi reached out and rubbed her hair, "Grandmother thinks you look good in this dress. I will ask your grandfather to make it for you again."

Da Qiao smiled even more happily. Her eyebrows were curved: "Thank you, Grandmother, but I have enough clothes. Don't need to make any more!"

Seeing that the child was so considerate and sensible, Qiao Xiu Zhi's heart went soft: "Then I will make some garlic-flavored green beans for you as snacks."

"Grandmother, you are so nice!" Da Qiao hugged her grandmother's thigh and rubbed it like a little puppy.

Seeing that her mother-in-law doted on Da Qiao so much, vinegar brew in Wa Chun Ju's heart.

Mother-in-law got bad habits!

With so many grandchildren, she didn't fancy any of them. Just only favored Da Qiao!

It was fine in the past. But recently, parent-in-laws had doted on Da Qiao without limit. Whatever good things always went to Da Qiao first. Every time she was jealous, but can only hold it back!

Suddenly, she turned her head and her eyes fell on the little daughter who had stopped crying. A light flashed in her eyes.

Everyone used to say that Mother-in-law was the least patriarchal person in the production team, but she didn't believe it at all.

How could someone in this world not prefer son over daughter?

It was just Lin Family, who seems to love their only daughter Lin Hui. But wasn't Lin Family's things still left to five sons in the end?

But now seeing her mother-in-law smiling lovingly at Da Qiao, she suddenly believed it.

Since Mother-in-law can dote on Da Qiao, she can dote on the other granddaughters too!

Her two daughters were stupid. They won't be able to flatter Mother-in-law like Da Qiao. So the two of them definitely can't do it. But the youngest daughter was still young. If she taught her to flatter Mother-in-law since she is a babe, she could out compete Da Qiao, no?

Besides, youngest daughter share the same birthday as Mother-in-law. For this, Mother-in-law will pay more attention to her!

The more Wan Chun Ju thought about it, the brighter her eyes became. Little Dong Lin happened turned around to catch this scene. So frightened, he quickly covered his eyes with his small hands.

"Aiya, my precious little Yun Yun. Mom is here. Mom loves you!"

Qiao Xiu Zhi: "..."

Da Qiao:""

Wan Chun Ju picked up her sleeping little daughter and rubbed her little face with her big pancake face.

Her skin was very coarse and her movements were rough. It immediately hurt little Dong Yun.

Little Dong Yun wailed again. Her face flushed from crying.

Qiao Xiu Zhi didn't know what Eldest Daughter-in-law was up to now. She scolded, "Why aren't you letting go of the child? Can't you see the child's face turning red?"

Wan Chun Ju wasn't angry about getting told off. Instead, she was extremely happy: "Mom, I understand. I just love this child too much. Little Yun Yun, look how much your grandmother loves you. Mommy just touched you and your grandmother can't bare it. Once you grow up, you have to be filial to your grandmother!"

Qiao Xiu Zhi: "..."

When Qiao Zhen Guo came in, he heard his wife's words and nodded in agreement, "Wife, after all these years, you have finally spoken human words!"

Wan Chun Ju: "..."

What did he mean by she finally spoken human words? It can't be that all she said before were nonsense?

Qiao Xiu Zhi can't stand the sight of this pair of idiots. She turned to ask the doctor.

These days, most people gave birth at home. Wan Chun Ju was sent to the health clinic because the labor came too sudden and Granny Wen was in the neighboring production team.

The male doctor said Wan Chun Ju was in top-notch condition and can be moved back. No need to stay at the clinic.

When Qiao Xiu Zhi heard this, she turned around and went out. She got Eldest to quickly pack up and carry his wife back.

Shortly after Qiao Xiu Zhi left, Chen Qiao Qiao ran in and said with a sweaty face, "Doctor Tian, I'm so sorry, I'm late!"

Tian Jian Ming took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it over, "It's fine. It's just you and me here. I won't say."

As he spoke, he mischievously winked at her.

Chen Qiao Qiao didn't know whether it was because of the exercise or because of his actions, her cheeks turned red.

Tian Jian Ming put the handkerchief in her hand and urged, "Wipe the sweat. This handkerchief has just been washed. You don't have to worry about any smell."

Doctor Tian put the handkerchief to her. Don't know if it was due to carelessness, his fingers hooked over her palm.

Chen Qiao Qiao's body trembled for a while. Her face turned even redder: "No. I'm not worried about the smell. Doctor Tian should take this handkerchief back!"

Saying that, she put the handkerchief on the table.

Tian Jian Ming wasn't angry: "Aren't you usually very punctual? Why are you suddenly late today? Did something happen at home?"

Chen Qiao Qiao's eyes flashed: "My man came back from the county. I wanted to make him braised pork. I went to the supply and demand cooperative to line up before dawn, so I came back late."

Tian Jian Ming looked at her closely with his pair of peach blossom eyes.

Chen Qiao Qiao felt completely at lost: "Why is Doctor Tian looking at me like this? Is my face dirty?"

Tian Jian Ming shook his head slowly and replied: "I think you are too good. Knowledgeable and reasonable. Virtuous and capable too. It is a blessing of three lifetimes for your man to marry a wife like you! If I can marry a woman like you, I will definitely cherish her in my hands for the rest of my life and take good care of her!"

Chen Qiao Qiao met his eyes. Her heart jumped quickly as her ears also became hot.

Tian Jian Ming noticed her pink ears and the corners of her mouth became more curved.

Chen Qiao Qiao was inexplicably flustered and stammered: "I, I saw Mother-in-law packing things just now. I'll go take a look."

After she finished speaking, she turned and ran.

Tian Jian Ming watched her fleeing back. Picking up the handkerchief on the table, he put it under his nose and smelled it. He smiled with a spring breeze on his face.

...

Due to Wan Chun Ju's sudden birth, many things weren't ready.

The most important brown sugar for confinement wasn't enough. So Qiao Hong Xia volunteered to go to the supply and demand cooperative to buy it.

For a divorced woman with a child like her, she would have a very hard life if home hadn't taken her in.

Now that everyone in the family was very busy, she was more than willing to do this errand.

When she came to the supply and demand cooperative, there weren't many people because it wasn't a market day. So buying it was quick.

Just as she was about to leave, a man and a woman walked in.

When the man saw her, his eyes lit up and he shouted excitedly, "Hong Xia!"

Qiao Hong Xia took a closer look and suddenly wondered why she didn't check today's luck when she went out. She actually encountered Zhao Jie Fang!

She didn't give him a glance. She grasped the item and directly departed. However, she was stopped by the woman beside Zhao Jie Fang.

"Oh, so you are Hong Xia?"

Xu Gui Ying looked at Qiao Hong xia with daggered gaze as jealous boiled in her heart.

Before, she had clearly heard about Zhao Jie Fang's ex-wife being dark and old-fashioned. How could the woman in front of her have such a good skin? Even standing so close, she couldn't see any major flaws!

While she, herself, had powder on her face. And compared to her, she was still a lot darker!

Simply infuriating!

"Step aside!"

Qiao Hong Xia hadn't noticed this woman at first. But hearing her sour tone, she guessed her identity at once.

She gave Zhao Jie Fang a sneering expression.

This man was really not picky. He can actually take a bite of this old bacon! Wasn't he afraid of getting it stuck in his teeth?

When Zhao Jie Fang saw her like this, his face immediately flushed red. But he couldn't bear to turn his eyes away either. His eyes were glued to her face.

After a few months of not seeing her, she had gotten even prettier!

The way she looked now reminded him of what she looked like when he first saw her.

Seeing her man's eyes glued to Qiao Hong Xia, Xu Gui Ying gritted her teeth in anger.

Her eyes narrowed and she smirked, "Hong Xia, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Although you did Jie Fang wrong back then, you guys are divorced for so long. Zhao Family doesn't blame you anymore. Why should you be cold?"

Seeing everyone looking over, Xu Gui Ying spoke with more vigor and deliberately raised her voice.

Qiao Hong Xia was trembling with anger!

This woman started talking nonsense as soon as she opened her mouth. Look at what she said. If someone didn't know it, they would think she did something bad and got divorced!

Sure enough, she saw that several salesmen heard that she was divorced and their eyes suddenly became a little strange.

Zhao Jie Fang saw her flushing with anger and immediately turned his head to Xu Gui Ying, "Don't talk nonsense. I was the one who did Hong Xia wrong!"

Seeing him speak for Qiao Hong Xia, Xu Gui Ying's jealousy flared even higher: "Zhao Jie Fang, why are you still protecting her at this time? Have you forgotten what she said to you?"

Zhao Jie Fang's face turned even redder.

Seeing Zhao Jie Fang's cowardly appearance, Qiao Hong Xia looked down on him more and more. She was glad that she didn't get back with him out of impulse back then.

She suddenly rolled her eyes and asked Zhao Jie Fang, "After talking for so long, I still don't know who she is to you?"

Xu Gui Ying raised her chin like a proud old peacock: "You should have heard that Jie Fang remarried? I am his wife!"

Qiao Hong Xia took a step back deliberately and exaggeratedly examined her: "My God, I'm really blind. If you didn't tell me, I would have thought you were Zhao Jie Fang's godmother! After all, you look older than Zhao Jie Fang by dozens of years. Who could have thought..."

It wasn't that she didn't know how to say heart-jabbing words, but she didn't want to say it. Since she wanted to be scolded so much, she could only fulfill her wish!

"You!"

Xu Gui Ying was so furious that her face flashed red and white. Tremblingly, she pointed at Qiao Hong Xia. The powder on her face was shaken and flew straight.

Qiao Hong Xia covered her mouth and coughed twice: "Why do you put so much powder on your face. It's choking to death!"

After speaking, she directly passed the two of them and walked out of the supply and demand cooperative without looking back.

"B*tch, don't go..."

From inside, Xu Gui Ying's hissing voice sounded.

Then it was Zhao Jie Fang's voice dissuading her: "Gui Ying, don't be like this..."

"Zhao Jie Fang, let me go! Do you still have that woman in your mind!? Take this... waa waa..."

Xu Gui Ying rushed up and scratched Zhao Jie Fang's face.

Qiao Hong Xia was very happy when she heard the sound of a dog biting a dog inside!

Halfway back, a bicycle passed her and turned into the entrance of the Qili production team.

She eyed the cyclist's back and guessed who he was. He didn't look like a postman.

Unexpectedly, the bicycle suddenly stopped the next moment. The burly man on the bike turned to look at her.

The man had a very firm expression and a wheatish complexion. His physique was burly and taller than her eldest brother. From the look of it, he was about twenty-six to twenty-seven years old.

She felt that this man was a little familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere. But she couldn't remember at the moment.

The man stared at her. Then he pushed his foot and turned around to ride over. He stopped again in front of her and spoke, "Are you going back to your maternal home?"

Qiao Hong Xia was stunned: "You know me?"

The man nodded: "I'm Wang Family's old Third, Wang Yan Sheng. I got home last night!"

Qiao Hong Xia recalled after hearing his self-introduction.

Of course, she knew Wang Yan Sheng. But the last time she saw this man was seven or eight years ago. At that time, he had just left for the army. Later, she married Zhao Jie Fang and never saw him again.

She felt his return should be related to Wang Family's matter. She couldn't help but sigh for him: "I'm not going back to my maternal home. I'm going back to my home."

Wang Yan Sheng was stunned when he heard her response. His dark brows furrowed together with a puzzled look on his face.

Qiao Hong Xia explained: "I got divorced half a year ago. Now I live with my second elder brother. So I'm going home, not my maternal home!"

A flash of surprise passed in Wang Yan Sheng's eyes. He had only returned for less than half a day That's why, he didn't hear about her divorce.

He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you had..."

Qiao Hong Xia dismissed without a care: "It's nothing. I'm very happy to leave such garbage!"

Wang Yan Sheng looked at her with unfathomable eyes.

Qiao Hong Xia was a little out of depth under his gaze and coughed: "It's getting late. I want to send the brown sugar to my eldest sister-in-law."

Wang Yan Sheng nodded. He turned the front of the bike and made way for her.

Qiao Hong Xia passed him and left.

Wang Yan Sheng watched her slender back. He opened his mouth but didn't ask her if she wanted to catch a ride on his bicycle in the end.

He had learned how powerful were the women's mouth many years ago. If he really gave her a ride and they got seen, she would be criticized!

Qiao Hong Xia could feel two hot eyes remaining on her back. It made her very nervous as she walked away.

Fortunately, Wang Yan Sheng soon passed her on the bicycle.

She looked at the other party's tall figure and breathed a sigh of relief.

...

After the production team knew Wan Chun Ju gave birth to a daughter, all kind of words were said.

"Oh, I laughed so hard! When she was pregnant, she was so proud. She held her big belly every day and bragged that she must have a gold bump in her belly. Who knew that she actually gave birth to a daughter in the end!"

"I heard that she cried at the health clinic last night! Who told her her to make such great fanfare everywhere. Now it's shameful!"

"If Lin Hui had a son, then her son An Ping wouldn't be the only male grandson in Qiao Family. She would be even more mad at that time!"

"Her maternal family has given birth to four or five daughters in a row. While she gave birth to a son with on her third pregnancy. She should thank her good fate. Can't believe she she wants to have another son. It's a daydream!"

"Do you think she will become the second Fang Xiao Juan?"

"Probably not. After all, she still lives with her mother-in-law!"

Not only people outside thought that Wan Chun Ju would dislike her youngest daughter, Qiao Dong Yun, but even Qiao Family thought the same.

Surprisingly...

"My precious darling. Mommy loves you!"

"Mom's little sweetie, you are the most beautiful! Look at your nose and eyes. You look exactly like your grandmother!"

Everyone: "..."

Qiao Xiu Zhi was even more speechless. She felt offended.

Qiao Zhen Guo spoke: "Wife, you have a problem with your eyes. Our daughter's mouth is obviously like yours. It's as big as yours. It is estimated that when she grows up, she will be able to eat a big mantou in one bite!"

Wan Chun Ju: "...Qiao Zhen Guo, just shut up!"

Hearing her man's words, she almost spat out a mouthful of blood!

This damn man. Don't speak if he don't know how to. He will always drive her mad as soon as he open his mouth!

However, Qiao Zhen Guo didn't shut up. Instead, he continued to add a jab: "Also, her nose is like yours. Look how flat it is. As if her face was smashed beforehand! Hey, what should this child do when she grows up so ugly? "

Wan Chun Ju almost spurted blood: "..."

Qiao Xiu Zhi rolled her eyes. She felt if she stayed any longer, she probably wanted to beat her son!

Da Qiao and other Qiao children surrounded little Dong Yun. They silently lit a candle for her.

Little Dong Yun's current appearance was indeed not good-looking.

Her skin was very dark. What's more, she got a big pancake face. At first glance, it was a miniature version of Wan Chun Ju.

Wan Chun Ju was pissed: "Qiao Zhen Guo, if you dare to talk nonsense again, don't come into the room in the future!"

Qiao Zhen Guo nodded and replied, "Alright. After you gave birth, your snoring got worse. I'm afraid that if this continues, the roof will be overturned by you!"

Wan Chun Ju was so angry that her face turned red and white: "Qiao Zhen Guo, go scram..."

Qiao Zhen Guo hummed a little song as he scrammed away.

Da Qiao ran out. She touched her mom's belly and asked, "Mom, is Younger Brother obedient today?"

Lin Hui smiled softly: "Younger Brother is very obedient. As well-behaved as you."

Da Qiao smiled with crescent eyes: "Mom, why do I feel that your belly is much bigger than when Eldest Aunt was four months old?"
