Adored Koi in the ’70s

Chapter 16

Full of hate, Xiao Qiao grinded her teeth!

She really didn't expect her grandmother to say this in front of so many people!

Da Qiao was her granddaughter. And she wasn't?

Biased old witch!

When everyone heard Qiao Xiu Zhi's words, they were shocked.

Some people caught on and felt that Xiao Qiao's attitude just now was indeed a bit weird. But majority of the people didn't believe it. After all, Xiao Qiao's image of being well-behaved and sensible was deeply embedded into their mind.

More importantly, Xiao Qiao was only six years old!

How can a six-year-old child have a scheming heart? Qiao Xiu Zhi must have over thought

Qiao Xiu Zhi didn't care what others thought at all. She lifted the stretcher and left.

Once more, she walked out of sassy and heroicly.

Qiao Zhen Jun didn't believe his mom's in his heart and was even worried that those words would hurt Xiao Qiao's young heart. However, he couldn't move by himself. So it was useless to worry.

As soon as Qiao Xiu Zhi left, Xiao Qiao started her performance.

They watched her grasping the corners of her clothes with her little hands and whispered: "Uncles and aunts, did Jiao Jiao say something wrong? Why does Grandmother scold Jiao Jiao like this? Jiao Jiao is so sad...uuu..."

The little person reddened her eyes and her tears kept falling like golden beans. This kind of silent cry made one's heart ached the most.

Everyone comforted her.

Fang Xiao Juan broke into scolding and rolled her sleeves up with desire to head to Qiao's house to settle the account. But was stopped by Xiao Qiao.

She told her mom in front of everyone that Qiao's and Fang's were her relatives. She didn't want to see them at odds.

What a cute and well-behaved child? How can she be a scheming person?

Everyone completely got rid of their doubts.

After everyone left, Fang Family suddenly realized that Fang Xiao Juan was divorced. Their Fang Family didn't even get the slightest benefit!

Suddenly they thumped their chest in anger and cursed Qiao Family for overbearingly bullying them!

But no matter how they scolded, the whole family dare not go to Qiao's house to settle accounts.

Back to Qiao's small courtyard.

As soon as Qiao Xiu Zhi stepped in, she saw Wan Chun Ju rushing towards her with great excitement: "Mom! Mom, you are finally back!"

If a clueless person saw this excitement, they would think they were mother and daughter who had been separated for many years.

Qiao Xiu Zhi got a headache when she saw her eldest daughter-in-law's stupidity and disgruntledly said: "What are you doing? Don't bump into here. Don't you see us carrying someone?"

If she had been scolded like this before, Wan Chun Ju would definitely pout so much that one an oil bottle could hang on. But at this moment, not the slightest unhappiness could be seen.

She leaned hard on her mother-in-law: "Mom, I have done all the housework? Can I leave now?"

Qiao Xiu Zhi was also very curious about her behavior. But before she could speak, she heard Qiao Zhen Guo say in a hoarse voice: "Wife, we just come back and you're in a hurry to leave. It seems suspicious. Did you steal something from Second Brother's house?"

Wan Chun Ju: "..."

What kind of man did she marry?

One in disagreement, he will stick poo on her. Did she not want face?

It was a pity that Qiao Zhen Guo couldn't read faces. He pointed to the old hen behind her and continued to babble: "Wife, I haven't seen you in a while and you become buddy with this old hen? Must say, you two look alike!"

Wan Chun Ju reddened like was suffocating: "..."

This silly goof don't know how to talk, then can't he close his mouth!

Comparing her and the hen as sisters. Then what had he become. The old hen's brother-in-law?

What goddamn sisters!

When Qiao Xiu Zhi heard her son's astoundingly stupid words again, she rolled her eyes and told herself: This is her biological son. Biological son. Definitely biological!

No matter how she disliked, she can only complyingly accept it. Otherwise, what else can she do!

However, right now, she noticed the old hen had been following Wan Chun Ju's footsteps. Don't know if it was her imagination but she kept getting the feeling that the old hen's gaze toward Wan Chun Ju...was hostile?

Wan Chun Ju felt like she was immersed in bitter water. She had it hard!

She just lectured Da Qiao a few words and this old hen treated her like a cub-killing enemy. It was enough that she pecked her before. Now she followed her every step of the way!

Whenever she wanted to be lazy or be a little heavy-handed, it will peck her!

Like peck her really hard!

Both of her feet must be bruised now!

Da Qiao walked in with her grandfather last. The old hen saw her coming in and immediately flapped her wings to greet her. Her chest vibrated with cooing sound.

Da Qiao was very happy to see Gu Gu. She had always took care of this old hen. The affection was cultivated.

Wan Chun Ju breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the old hen stopped staring at her.

However her scar healed and she forgot the pain. She looked at the old hen as she spoke, "Mom, I heard this old hen hadn't lay eggs for a long time. How about killing it during the New Year?"

As soon as her voice fell, the old hen turned her head and shot a death beam at her. Then she fluttered her wings again and leaped towards her.

Start of! Death! Chase!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh...Zhen Guo, save me. Quick, save me..." Wan Chun Ju screamed out of fright.

Why did the old hen understand her?

Wasn't it said that animals cannot evolve after the founding of the country?

Of course Qiao Zhen Guo didn't go up to help her. He laughed like a dog once again: "Hahaha...Wife, your body is too bad. You run so slowly. The old hen is about to catch up with you!"

Wan Chun Ju was close to tears from anger!

Chicken flew and dog jumped in Qiao's small courtyard. It was so lively that Qiao Zhen Jun's divorce depression dissipated a lot.

Qiao Xiu Zhi didn't think there was anything to be depressed about. On the contrary, she felt that without troublemaker Fang Xiao Juan, Qiao Family would definitely get better in the future.

It would be better if old Second's legs could stand up again. Her eyes fell on his legs. In the end, she shook her head.

What was she thinking? The doctor had said even the operation was useless. For the rest of his life, Second can only spend it in bed.

In order to celebrate the divorce, Qiao Xiu Zhi deliberately slaughtered two fish to eat. One stewed in soup and the other steamed. The family merrily ate it. Even a smile returned to Wan Chun Ju's face.

After lunch, the people of old Qiao's house went back.

Dumpling Da Qiao went into her dad's room with her head hanging down and hands clutching on the corner of her clothes.

Taking her in, Qiao Zhen Jun asked worriedly: "Why are you slouching? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Da Qiao drooped her little head, shook her head and said: "I, don't, feel, uncomfortable."

Qiao Zhen Jun was a little puzzled: "Then do you have something to tell Dad?"

Da Qiao grabbed the corners of her clothes and kneaded them into a ball: "Dad, you, divorced mom, because, of me, right?"

Grandmother had said that they divorced because her mom did something wrong. But the reason why her mom returned to her grandma's house was because of her. Her mom wanted to drive her away and her father refused. So they quarreled.

She felt terrible.

Was it like her mom said? Because she was a calamity, she will bring misfortune and disaster to her relatives?

Thinking back, her dad fell into the ditch due to protecting her. And he still hadn't gotten better. The more Da Qiao pondered about it, the sadder she got. Tears fell like dropped pearls.

The little dumpling stood there with golden beans falling. Her cheeks stained with tears. Her helpless and pitiful appearance made people feel heartbroken.

Qiao Zhen Jun felt as if his heart had been severely pinched by something.

He knew that Fang Xiao Juan wasn't good to this child. He had warned Fang Xiao Juan not to treat the child harshly.

On the surface, Fang Xiao Juan agreed. With a turn of a head, she pretended to obey. He always get angered but never thought of divorcing her.

It was because of his forbearance and concession that Fang Xiao Juan became worst. And let her grind the child into this current state!

Seeing her short stature, he was full of self-blame.

When the child was first born, the child was fair and plump. Very gratifying. While Xiao Qiao was as thin as a kitten. Now it was the other way round. When the two sisters stood together, she was half a head shorter than Xiao Qiao.

Qiao Zhen Jun's eyes uncomfortably ached. He beckoned her over with his hand and said, "Come. Come to Dad."

Da Qiao walked over.

Qiao Zhen Jun said softly: "Your grandmother had told you before that your dad and mom divorced not because of you. But because your mom did something wrong. She almost caused your auntie Hui to die. So Dad decided to divorce with her. It's not your fault, understand?"

Da Qiao heard her dad repeatedly emphasize that this matter had nothing to do with her. It was not her fault. She finally felt better in her heart.

But remembering Xiao Qiao, her brows frowned again: "Then, sister? She, won't, come back?"

Thinking of Xiao Qiao, Qiao Zhen Jun's heart received another fierce jab.

He was really a useless dad. It was enough that he couldn't protect one daughter. He let the other daughter live a good life. He deserved to die!

But he didn't want to expose his emotion in front of his daughter. He reached out and rubbed her fluffy yellow hair and said, "Sister is following your mom. Each person get one is fair, right?"

Da Qiao thought about it for a while and felt it was right. Her eyes curved into small crescents. The teardrops on her long and dense eyelashes trembled: "Then I, follow, dad!"

Qiao Zhen Jun took in her cute appearance and his heart softened: "Then do you like to follow Dad?"

Dumpling Da Qiao nodded her head: "Like! Really like!"

She said like twice. As if this could express her feelings. Qiao Zhen Jun couldn't help but smile.

The news of Fang Xiao Juan and Qiao Zhen Jun's divorce spread. Lin Hui knew it that night.

She sat on the kang with a shocked look and did not speak for a long time.

Wang Qiu Ying came in with a bowl of meat and saw her daughter's dumbfounded expression. She reached out and touched her forehead: "No fever. What are you doing sitting like this?"

Lin Hui recovered and shook her head: "It's nothing."

Wang Qiu Ying put the meat on the kang table: "If nothing, then come over and eat the meat. Mom specially saved it for you!"

Lin Hui saw a bowl full of meat and her heart was warm: "Mom, eat with me. I can't eat so much by myself."

Wang Qiu Ying waved her hand: "Mom has eaten. You eat more. By the way, about your second sister-in-law's matter. Your second brother has already lectured her. Later, Mom will scold her a bit. So don't take it to heart. Understand?"

Because her daughter-in-law's unreliability led to her daughter being beaten. Wang Qiu Ying hated her, but she couldn't do anything. After she and old man leave in the future, her daughter would have to rely on her brothers and sisters-in-law.

Lin Hui didn't blame her second sister-in-law in the first place: "Don't worry, Mom. I won't blame Second Sister-in-law."

Wang Qiu Ying was relieved to see that she was sensible and picked up the meat for her: "Look, you are as thin as a bamboo pole. Eat more and regain the flesh back soon!"

Lin Hui pushed the meat around in the bowl and hesitated for a long time before uttering, "Mom, I heard that Fang Xiao Juan couple have divorced. Is this... true?"
