Adored Koi in the ’70s

Chapter 134

Da Qiao originally wanted to find Elder Brother Huo Chi for lunch, but she was surrounded by enthusiastic classmates from next door.

Cai Ru Nan, who was in the same dorm, resolutely abandoned other roommates and classmates in the class and trialed after her like a small tail.

In Cai Ru Nan's words, if it wasn't for her grades, she would have immediately transferred to the Department of Finance and Economics!

It was a pity that her math, physics and chemistry grades weren't good. Even if she wants to change departments, her parents won't agree.

So gradually, their dorm were divided into three factions.

Wang Xian Xian, Chen Xiao Lan, and Song Yu Lian formed a small group.

Chen Xiao Lan originally liked Da Qiao, but Wang Xian Xian was generous and gave them snacks from time to time. What's more, she heard that she had relatives in the Education Bureau. In the end, she chose to become Wang Xian Xian's 'best friend'.

On the contrary, she felt that Da Qiao was too stingy and small-minded. She wore such modern clothes and a watch that was said to be at least a thousand. But over the past few days, she never once treated them to anything!

Her mom was right; some rich people were more stingy when they were rich!

In her opinion, Da Qiao was such a person. That was why she chose to be good friends with Wang Xian Xian!

Although Wang Xian Xian had a bit of a bad temper, she was still generous!

As for the remaining, Xu Chun Juan, she didn't get close to anyone.

She was either studying every day or she went out of school and came back very late. No one knew where she went and what she was doing.

In addition, Xu Chun Juan and Wang Xian Xian were in different majors. She was the only in Japanese course in the dormitory. The other four were English majors.

Da Qiao didn't know what her roommate was thinking. Even if she did, she wouldn't bother to pay attention.

As for the stinginess and how she didn't treat people that was mentioned by Chen Xiao Lan. No one else other than Wang Xian Xian treat people. Besides, school just started for a few days. There were so many things every day. Who would be free to buy things to bribe other?

The most important thing was that Da Qiao didn't see the need to. Her money would only be spent on her relatives and friends. She didn't want to spend a penny on those who were snarky.

Though Da Qiao didn't want to pay attention to them, Wang Xian Xian was determined to butt head with her.

On this day, she picked up the thermo to prepare to fetch water.

Seeing this, Cai Ru Nan quickly jumped up from the bed: "Wait, I'll go too."

Wang Xian Xian spoke: "Da Qiao, you're going to fetch water. Then help me bring a pot back while you're at it."

"And me!" Song Yu Lian shouted while lying on the bed.

Cai Ru Nan immediately exploded: "What are you doing? Working together to bully Da Qiao?"

After the thermos was filled with water, it was very heavy. And it was a long way back from the place where the water was fetched. Every time Cai Ru Nan went to fetch water back, she felt that her arms were dead.

But now these two actually want Da Qiao to handle three bottles of water by herself. This was clearly making things difficult, no?

Song Yu Lian curled her lips, "Who's bullying her? It's not much trouble. If she doesn't want to, simply refuse. And Xianxian usually gives her snacks. Imported snacks like chocolate!"

Cai Ru Nan's face turned red with anger: "Eat her things means must do something for her? No wonder you kneel and lick her so much!"

Song Yu Lian jumped up from the bed. Her chest heaved violently with irk: "Who did you say kneel and lick? In this dormitory, no one can beat you at the kneeling and licking! We're nice to Xian Xian because Xian Xian is worth it. But you! You stick your hot face on someone else's cold butt every day. Did she ever give you a delicious bite?"

Cai Ru Nan sneered: "You think everyone is as powerful as you. I don't want the other party to give me anything when I make friends. I just want good looks. That's why, I want to be nice to her. If you look one-tenth as pretty as her, I will treat you well. Unfortunately you are so ugly with pimples all over your face. Such sight makes me sick after eating!"

Personal attacks!

Simply unbearable!

Song Yu Lian trembled with fury. The pimples on her face became even more obvious. Some pimples looked like they were about to burst out.

Strange point was neither Wang Xian Xian nor Chen Xiao Lan wanted to help her when witness Song Yu Lian being scolded,.

The next door and opposite dorm heard the movement and gathered around to watch.

Da Qiao didn't want this matter to go to the instructor.

She took out five yuan from her body and handed it to Wang Xian Xian: "This is for the last time you treated me and Ru Nan to eat chocolate. It should be less than three yuan. I will give you five yuan, no need to look for change. However, from now on we don't owe each other!"

She only ate Wang Xian Xian's snack once; a piece of chocolate about the size of her thumb when they first met.

Later, Wang Xian Xian treated everyone to eat snacks again. She never took them.

Never thought she would be picked on because of eating a little of the other party's food. If she knew earlier, she wouldn't had ate it.

Dozens of eyes stared at Wang Xian Xian. Her face flushed red: "What are you doing? It's just treating you. Why are you throwing money?"

Da Qiao couldn't be bothered with her, put the money on her bed, and dragged Cai Ru Nan away.

"What happened?" those from other dormitories asked.

Cai Ru Nan was afraid that after they left, the three old demons in the dormitory would talk nonsense.

She jumped back and explained: "It's just that some people in our dorm took the initiative to treat others to eat some snacks. Afterward, she request other party to help her fetch hot water. If we're not willing, then we're a wolf-hearted and dog-lung thing. Think about it you guys. I advise you to not eat other people's food casually. You might get called a white-eyed wolf anytime, anywhere!"

After she finished speaking, she glared at Song Yu Lian and skipped away.

People in the other dormitories recalled how Da Qiao gave Wang Xian Xian the money just now. Obviously, she was the one who treated people to snacks and then asked them to do things.

For a while, everyone gave her strange looks.

Wang Xian Xian's face blushed from the gaze: "I didn't ask her to do anything for me. Nor did I ask her to return my chocolate. It's all Yu Lian's nonsense!"

Song Yu Lian: ? ? ?

Giving no regard to what Song Yu Lian thought, Wang Xian Xian pushed all the blame on Song Yu Lian.

Song Yu Lian was trembling with fury again.

But she didn't dare to offend Wang Xian Xian. She could only put all the blame on Da Qiao.

In fact, Wang Xian Xian's methods couldn't compared to Xiao Qiao.

She was more like a spoiled young lady who can't stand to see others be better than her. That was why she deliberately made it difficult for the other party.

On the way to fetch the water, Cai Ru Nan had a fan girl expression: "Da Qiao, I feel that the way you gave Wang Xian Xian money so majestic! Wang Xian Xian must be fuming!"

Da Qiao pursed his lips and didn't respond to her.

She could actually solve this matter in a more tactful way, but she felt that Wang Xian Xian and others weren't worth her effort.

To put it bluntly, they were strangers living together temporarily. After four years, everyone will go their separate ways again. Some people may never see each other again in their lifetime. That's why, there was no need for scheming and drama.

Cai Ru Nan continued: "When we go back, I will return the money to you. Don't rush to reject me. I can afford this bit of money. As I said just now, I want to be your friend. Not benefitting from you. I just feel you look pretty!"

When Da Qiao heard this, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Seeing that she didn't reject her, Cai Ru Nan was even happier.

Although her family wasn't as rich as Wang Xian Xian, her family can be regarded as a middle-class family. She wasn't the kind of person who like to take advantage of others.

The place to fetch the water was a bit far. When they got to that side, they can see a line of people queuing in the distance.

It was already half an hour later when they returned from the water.

Don't know if it was because everyone was a freshman and they were worried that they will be criticized by the school if the matter got too big, neither Wang Xian Xian nor Song Yu Lian made trouble.

Da Qiao wasn't a person who like to make trouble, so the dorm had temporarily returned to calmness.

It was just the division became deeper.

Wang Yan Sheng got leave from the chief. Afterward, he returned to Yunlai Town with his wife Qiao Hong Xia and three children.

After not coming back for a few years, Qiao Hong Xia found that Yunlai Town had changed a lot. Small shops had opened up in many places.

Qiao Hong Xia's family lived in Qiao Zhen Jun's house.

She didn't expect to come back this time and actually heard a news- her second elder brother and his family were moving to the capital.

Qiao Hong Xia grumbled, "Second Elder Brother, why didn't you tell me about your move to the capital?"

Qiao Zhen Jun jollily responded: "We made this spur of the moment decision half a month ago."

As he said that, he revealed what happened to his youngest son, Xue An Xu who had been spotted by a filming company.

Qiao Hong Xia was stunned: "Are you sure there's no problem with the filming company? It's not a scam, right?"

Qiao Zhen Jun shook his head: "It's not. We asked Huo Family to help investigate before we went. It's a legitimate company!"

Qiao Hong Xia said: "That's wonderful! An Xu and little Dong Yun are really capable. They were caught the eye of a filming company at a young age. Maybe they will be popular all over the country soon!"

Qiao Zhen Jun scratched his head and responded, "I don't care if they become popular or not. I'm afraid of the children getting in touch with these things too early and be unable to resist the temptation in the future."

Not to mention he was a nine-year-old child! Even an adult would get their heart misted when they suddenly become famous and rich.

He remembered the last time how he said one sentence and was bombarded by criticism from the whole family. Now he didn't dare to say anything on this.

He could only keep an eye at all time. Once any seeds of something wrong with the child is found, he would immediately eliminate the seeds.

Qiao Hong Xia: "Second Elder Brother, your worries are justified. But these things haven't happened yet, so you don't need to worry too much."

Qiao Zhen Jun nodded yes.

Following this, the two talked about Yi Ming's biological father, Zhao Jie Fang.

After Qiao Hong Xia and Zhao Jie Fang divorced, Zhao Jie Fang soon married Xu Gui Ying, a widow ten years older than him.

Afterward, they bumped into each other twice. The last time Xu Gui Ying rushed away in anger and said that she wanted to divorce Zhao Jie Fang.

Actually, it didn't happen.

Xu Gui Ying wasn't young anymore and can't have children. If she divorce Zhao Jie Fang, she will definitely not be able to find someone as young as him. She can only marry those old men in their 50s and 60s.

It went without saying she didn't want to. So despite the anger, the two of them continued to live as usual after the tantrum.

"Second Elder Brother, what happened to that person? Why did he pass out of the blue?"

What Qiao Hong Xia didn't expect was Zhao Jie Fang, who yet to turn forty years old this year, to pass at such a young age.

Qiao Zhen Jun sighed: "Speaking of which, he is a pitiful man. After the reform, many people are doing well. While Zhao Family are lazy. They forced Zhao Jie Fang to work on the construction site. He fell from high place. On the spot, he vomited blood and passed half a day later!"

Qiao Hong Xia sneered: "The pitiful man must have hateful traits! If he hadn't listened to his family at every turn, I wouldn't have divorced him!"

She thought that he would change after the divorce. Never thought, he remained the same. The only thing she was thankful about was that she insisted on divorce from him back then!

Dead people were like a blown-out lamp. Qiao Zhen Jun didn't want to say anything more: "The construction site compensated a sum of money to Zhao Family. If you want to fight for the money, I'm afraid it won't be so easy."

Since the money went into the pockets of Zhao Family, it won't be taken out easily.

Qiao Hong Xia waved her hand and said, "I made it clear back then that Yi Ming has nothing to do with Zhao Family, so I don't want the money. I wonder why they would call and ask Yi Ming to come back?"

Qiao Zhen Jun frowned and spoke, "Zhao Jie Fang hadn't had any more children. I guess they want to take Yi Ming back."

Qiao Hong Xia coldly uttered, "Dream on!"

Over the years, Zhao Family hadn't given a penny. Now that Yi Ming had grown up, they want to come along and enjoy the benefit?

What beautiful dream!

Qiao Zhen Jun sighed and said nothing.

The next day, Qiao Hong Xia and Wang Yan Sheng went to Zhaojia Village with the youth, Yi Ming.

Zhao Hong Xia bringing Wang Yan Sheng wasn't within Zhao Family's expectation.

Seeing Wang Yan Sheng, who was tall and majestic with an imposing body, their arrogance instantly decreased by half.

Zhao Jie Fang's mother a.k.a Qiao Hong Xia's ex-mother-in-law, Xiao Cui Hua had turned sixty-five years old. She was still full of spirits. Her triangular eyes stared Yi Ming. It was unknown what she was thinking.

Qiao Hong Xia couldn't be bothered to guess what Zhao Family was thinking and brought Yi Ming in to kowtow to Zhao Jie Fang.

Although Zhao Jie Fang hadn't fulfilled his responsibility as a father in the past ten years, but he was dead now. If Yi Ming didn't come back and kowtow, the world will only think that Yi Ming was unfilial.

Qiao Hong Xia hated this part. But she had to compromise. Which was why she brought Yi Ming back.

She didn't want her child to be criticized.

After kowtowing, Qiao Hong Xia didn't want to stay any longer. She wanted to leave with Yi Ming.

Zhao Family came out at this time.

The clan elders of Zhao Family also came with them. Obviously, they were prepared; wanted these people to convince her.

Looking at them, Qiao Hong Xia sneered.

Taking in her response, fire burned in Xiao Cui Hua's heart: "Hong Xia, since you are willing to bring Yi Ming over today, it obviously means you admit that Yi Ming is Jie Fang's child. Then this matter can be easily handled. We want Yi Ming to recognize his ancestors and return to his boodline!"

Return your mother's head!

Qiao Hong Xia almost broke into a foul scolding: "Don't even think about recognizing ancestors and returning the bloodline. The severance letter you wrote back then is still in my hands. Even if you report it to the police station, I'm not afraid of you!"

Xiao Cui Hua was pissed. She hurriedly winked to let the clans elders to get them to speak.

A man who looked older than Xiao Cui Hua stroked his beard and said, "Jie Fang is really pitiful. Not only did he go away at a young age, he didn't even leave behind any future generation. Although you divorced him, you were a couple for a few years. Think upon the sake of those year, let Yi Ming come back!"

Qiao Hong Xia sneered: "Zhao Jie Fang is pitiful and that's because he's stupid. If he hadn't listened to his mom in everything. Nor would Yi Ming nearly die back then. I also wouldn't have divorced him. And he wouldn't die so early now. So don't play emotional cards with me. I won't take it! Also, you'd better not provoke me. If you provoke me, I'll take every penny of the construction site's compensation!"

When Zhao Family heard this, they immediately took a sharp breath in.

They originally wanted the clan to step forward so that they could suppress Qiao Hong Xia and then bring Yi Ming back.

Yi Ming was now fourteen years old. In a few years, he will be able to go out to work. The money he earn will naturally be handed over to them Zhao Family for safekeeping.

More importantly, with a stepfather like Wang Yan Sheng, maybe their Zhao Family can benefit from it.

Zhao Family had everything planned. Qiao Hong Xia's stubborn remaining intact after so many years was out of heir expectation!

With the compensation in mind, they finally had to let Qiao Hong Xia go.

Who knew, at this time, Zhao Jie Fang's second wife, Xu Gui Ying jumped out.

Xu Gui Ying hugged Qiao Hong Xia's thigh and begged with tears streaming down her face: "Hong Xia, please, help me get Zhao Jie Fang's compensation back. I am old now and my own money has been spent by Zhao Family. I really can't live without this money!"

As Zhao Jie Fang's wife, Xu Gui Ying can inherit part of the compensation. But with Zhao Family around, she didn't get a dime.

Qiao Hong Xia looked down at the woman holding her and frowned.

Zhao Family immediately became anxious when they saw Xu Gui Ying asking Qiao Hong Xia for help.

Second Sister-in-law Zhao and Third Sister-in-law Zhao went up together; one grabbed her hair and the other grabbed her clothes as they tried to pull her back.

Xu Gui Ying struggled hard, but was slapped a few times.

Qiao Hong Xia looked at her and thought of herself back then.

If she didn't have a strong maternal family back her back then, she might have been bullied even worse.

It was at this moment that she decided to help Xu Gui Ying.

She turned back and whispered to Wang Yan Sheng a bit.

Wang Yan Sheng nodded, stepped forward, grasped one in each hand, and pulled Second Sister-in-law Zhao and Third Sister-in-law Zhao away at once.

Afterward, they didn't stay entangled with Zhao Family. They immediately took Xu Gui Ying into the car and left.

Zhao Family was so pissed that they fell to their knees!

After that, Qiao Hong Xia borrowed Wang Yan Sheng's and Shen Family's contacts to help Xu Gui Ying get one-third of the compensation.

Although it wasn't much, it was enough for the other party to use for several years if they were frugal.

Xu Gui Ying thanked them repeatedly and almost knelt down to them.

Qiao Hong Xia quickly grabbed to stop her.

Xu Gui Ying said: "Hong Xia, I owe you an apology. I'm sorry. I was too much back then!"

Thinking of what she did back then, she was so ashamed that she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself.

Qiao Hong Xia waved her hand: "Forget about the past. You'd better leave Zhaojia Village or the Zhao Family will definitely not let you go easily!"

Xu Gui Ying nodded: "I know. I've already contacted a relative in the south. I'm going to go to seek refuge with them in the next two days!"

Being forced to spit out one-third of the compensation, Zhao Family was furious.

Xiao Cui Hua was so exasperated that she collapsed to the ground and then... suffered a stroke.

After Qiao Hong Xia found out about Zhao Family's matter, she just remarked that they deserved it. Afterward, they returned to the army with Wang Yan Sheng.

This side, Qiao Hong Xia solved the problem. While on the capital's side, something happened.

An Ping and Dai Xiao Xue rolled onto the same bed!
