Adored Koi in the ’70s

Chapter 145

Qiao Dong He trembled until her teeth were chattering.

She thought that her mother-in-law was just a bit cranky, but had a good heart. It was only now, she discovered the other party really wanted to kill her!

She was so stupid!

Her grandmother had warned her long ago that she should be strong and not blindly give in. She was a hopeless case; caring about this and that. This condoned her mother-in-law to bully her to this extent!

She brought it all upon herself!

She deserved it!

It was clear Mother-in-law won't call someone over for her now. So if she want to keep the baby, she must save herself!

She ignored Mother-in-law and laboriously crawled towards the door.

The blood flowed more and more under her body. A dazzling bloodstains trialed on the ground where she crawled over.

Not only was Mother Luo uncompassionate, she even walked over to stop her: "You can't go out. You must get rid of this money-wasting thing today!"

Right now, she regretted that she hadn't come up with this good solution sooner. If she had thought of it earlier, she wouldn't have to feed so many good things to that money-wasting thing that was doomed to die!

What a waste!

Qiao Dong He gritted her teeth, "Mom, get out of the way! If anything happen to the child in my belly today, my family will definitely not let you go!"

She knew that she was too useless. At this time, she could only use her family to fake off her power.

She had no choice. Her mind was wholly focused on saving the child in her womb now!

When Mother Luo heard the mention of Qiao Family, there was a hint of hesitation and fear on her face.

Qiao Family had official household Shen Family and Chu Family as god-relatives and high ranking army official son-in-law, Wang Yan Sheng. There was also Huo Family, a household one don't want to mess with.

Apart from these, Qiao Xiu Zhi and her one-punch-wild-boar-kill skill alone was frightening enough.

But she had already put down those words. Overturning the water jug was easy, getting it back in was hard. What's more, Qiao Dong He was pushed down by her. Would Qiao Family let it drop if she let Qiao Dong He go?

Impossible!

Straight was death, backward was also death. Then it was better to grit her teeth and get rid of the money-wasting thing in that stomach!

She was Luo Jun Liang's mother. Qiao Family would at most scold her and not kill her, right?

Coming to this verdict, the panic and fear on Mother Luo's face dissipated. The viciousness glint returned again: "Dong He, you don't have to use your family to scare me, Mom's heart isn't very good. I can't handle the fright. Anyway, if your family wanted to take care of you, they would have come to find me long ago. I have been here for almost half a month. Has your family come to support you? No!"

"Your parents are unreliable. Especially in your mom. In her eyes, you're not as important as your younger brother's hair! As for your grandmother, I heard that she seem to have left the capital. In conclusion, the most important thing is that one have to have self-awareness. Don't assume how important you are!"

Qiao Dong He ground her teeth and angrily spewed, "Shut up!"

Her family wasn't like that. Although her mom was gender-biased, her grandparents dote her dearly. Her siblings cared about her too. She failed to live up to their expectations.

It was she who let them down!

Seeing her turned furious from embarrassment, Mother Luo kept talking more and more: "Dong He, listen to Mom. Be good and abort this baby. Later, Mom will stew an old hen ginseng soup for you and supplement for your body properly. I promise you, you'll smoothly birth a son in the future!"

"I'm warning you for the last time, get out of the way. If anything happen to my child, I will send you and I to destruction with you later!"

Qiao Dong He felt disgusted to death!

Today, she saw her mother-in-law in a new light. The baby's gender was still unknown. Even if it is a girl, it is her granddaughter!

When she said something like this, she was no better than a beast!

At this moment, her aura was different from usual. She glared at Mother Luo. Her eyes burned with hatred.

Mother Luo was frightened by her eyes and took a step back. But at this time, some vocabulary was lost on her: "What kind of turtle do you say you want with me? Why don't I understand at all!"

Qiao Dong He felt the pain in her belly increasing. She couldn't delay any longer!

She looked at Mother Luo and uttered word by word, "If my child dies, I will stab you to death later and get you to go down and make amends for her!"

Her words were too fierce. Mother Luo got a shock again. Hesitation affected her actions.

This hesitation allowed Qiao Dong He to climb to the door.

Qiao Dong He had never been so glad that the house was tiny. If this place was huge, she would never be able to reach the door.

Once she opened the door, Mother Luo came back to her senses: "You come..."

Before she could finish speaking, Qiao Dong He put her whole energy to open up throat and yelled, "Help! My mother-in-law is going to kill me. Someone come! Murder!!"

"!!!"

Steaming in fury, Mother Luo!

She intended to pull Qiao Dong He back, but it was too late. Elder Sister Lan, who lived next door, heard the movement and ran over.

"Elder Sister Lan, save me! My mother-in-law is going to kill me and the child in my womb!"

Like a drowning man grabbing a driftwood, Qiao Dong He desperately shouted again.

The first time round, Elder Sister Lan thought she had misheard something about save and murder when she was inside her house. But to be on the safe side, she ran out to check it out.

If she didn't come, she wouldn't know. Now she did, she was scared to death from what she came upon!

It can only be said that Qiao Dong He's luck hadn't ran out all the way. If it were someone else, they might not necessarily come to help. While this Elder Sister Lan, she was a warm-hearted person.

There and then, she rushed over with a second thought when she heard Qiao Dong He's words.

She pushed Mother Luo who was bent over to pull Qiao Dong He in and loudly hollered, "Go away! If you dare to touch her again, I won't hold back with you!"

Exasperated, Mother Luo's face went red and white: "This is our family business. Don't need to meddle here!"

Elder Sister Lan didn't give in at all, "Now that a life is endangered, it's not a family matter. If you don't move, I will go to the police now!"

Hearing that she was going to call the police, Mother Luo finally knew what was afraid: "What endangered. Don't listen to her nonsense. She fell down by herself. I was going to help her up. She won't let me help her. In turn, she accused me of harming her. This person is so vicious!"

Elder Sister Lan didn't believe a word of what Mother Luo said.

Since Mother Luo came, there was not a day without unrest in Luo Family. Qiao Dong He's appearance had become increasingly haggard.

Elder Sister Lan had conveyed in a roundabout way before that Qiao Dong He shouldn't give in too much. Some people were born despicable. They won't be grateful for concessions. Instead, they will strive for foot when gaining an inch!

Obviously, the other party didn't take in her words. If she did, today's scene wouldn't have happened.

Elder Sister Lan ignored Mother Luo, carefully helped Qiao Dong He up, and then supported her out.

Qiao Dong He was almost putting all her weight on Elder Sister Lan. When she just walked out of the door, a thought popped in her mind- what Da Qiao had said to her.

Last week, she went to the courtyard dwelling to find her grandmother. Unfortunately her grandmother had went back to their hometown. When she was about to leave, Younger Sister Da Qiao suddenly handed her a pill. She told her that the pill could save her life and mustn't lose it at all cost.

Back then, she was in a trance. She took the thing and left, never treating it seriously afterward.

Now that she recall Younger Sister Da Qiao's words, she subconsciously believed that that thing would definitely be able to save her baby!

So she pulled Elder Sister Lan's hand and weakly spoke, "Elder Sister Lan, please... go in and get me something. It's placed in the cabinet at the bottom by the bed. It's a gray box. Please help me get it!"

Although Elder Sister Lan felt that it was a little strange to think about getting something at this time, she couldn't refuse when meeting her pleading eyes.

So she helped Qiao Dong He sit on the stone bench beside her before going in to search for it.

Mother Luo blocked her way: "You can't go in. This is my home. If you come in to get something, you're a thief!"

As soon as the word 'thief' hit the ground, Elder Sister Lan stretched out her hand and pushed Mother Luo back! ~

Mother Luo screamed and her butt slammed hard: "Oh, my waist! You're a goddamn murderer! Someone, come! Robbery..."

Elder Sister Lan passed her body and went directly in to find the box.

With such large ruckus in Luo's house, other neighbors rushed over.

When everyone saw the blood on Qiao Dong He's pants, Mother Luo plopped back on the ground again and hollered 'robbery'. Elder Sister Lan came out of Luo's house with a box in her hand right then.

It was hard for everyone to not think astray!

Someone wanted to go up and question Elder Sister Lan. But before any mouth open, Elder Sister Lan's response intervened, "I don't have time to explain to you now. If you think I'm a thief, you can go to the police now!"

Mother Luo hurriedly said: "Can't call the police! Can't call the police!"

No one expect the person who stopped the call for police was actually Mother Luo.

Elder Sister Lan dove through the crowd and handed the box to Qiao Dong He.

Qiao Dong He took the pill out of the box and swallowed it without drinking water.

She didn't know if her mind was playing with her but as soon as the pill entered her body, she felt warmth spread in her body. Her body didn't feel that uncomfortable.

She turned to Elder Sister Lan and stated, "Elder Sister Lan, let's go!"

Seeing speech was no longer feeble, Elder Sister Lan was very curious about the pill.

But this wasn't the time to ask about these things. She quickly helped her out of the compound.

Mother Luo's slaughtered-pig shriek rang from behind.

When Huo Chi hurried to look for Da Qiao, Da Qiao was explaining a topic to a male classmate in the classroom.

The male classmate's gaze wasn't on the book at all. Instead, it fell on Da Qiao's face from time to time. This sight had Huo Chi's heart burst into flames at once!

He rushed up to the male classmate and wedged right between him and Da Qiao.

The male classmate immediately became upset: "This classmate, where did you come from? Don't you know that there a lecture in this classroom in a moment? Please go out!"

Huo Chi toweringly looked down at him and responded, "I am Qiao Nian Nian's match! I'm looking for her for something!"

When the male classmate heard the word 'match', he immediately felt like he had been stabbed: "You, you say you're Classmate Qiao's what?"

He must have heard it wrong!

Classmate Qiao had always been alone. Usually, she only spend time with people in her dorm. How could she have a match?

Huo Chi had already turned around. His ink black eyes tenderly looked at Da Qiao, "Nian Nian, I have something to tell you."

Da Qiao knew that Elder Brother Huo Chi wouldn't come to her for no reason. To come at this time, something must have happened.

She returned the book to the male classmate and asked him to ask guidance from others. Then she walked out of the classroom with Huo Chi.

The male students in the class were dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

Did Classmate Qiao really have a match?

Although some of them weren't as tall as Classmate Qiao, their grades were better than hers and their looks weren't that bad. As long as she had no match for a day, they have hope.

At this time, the class monitor piped in: "The one who came in just now is a second year senior brother, the vice president of the student union, and the top scorer of the college entrance examination in his year."

As soon as these words came out, 'crashing' could be heard. Hearts were shattered.

Their looks can't compare. Their grades can't compare. They have no hope!!

Although Da Qiao's dormmates knew that she was in a relationship, it wasn't spread out. Wang Xian Xian had thin hope in her heart to snatch Huo Chi.

They won't talk about it. While Da Qiao, it was impossible for her to make a great fanfare about it everywhere. She was the only female classmate in her class. Definitely won't talk about her own affairs with other male classmates.

As a result, no one in the class knew that her relationship status until now.

Da Qiao and Huo Chi came to the corridor outside.

Da Qiao blinked her long eyelashes and said anxiously, "Elder Brother Huo Chi, what did find me for?"

Huo Chi frowningly answered, "Your elder cousin sister entered the hospital. I heard she lost a lot of blood. I don't know the specific situation."

Hearing this, Da Qiao gasped. She grabbed his arm and spoke, "Is it serious? Is the baby still in the belly?"

Huo Chi glanced at the little hand on his arm and reassured her: "Don't worry. My family's driver came to inform me about your elder cousin sister's matter. He said that the child is still there when he came over. I don't think it will happen."

Da Qiao pursed her lips: "Elder Brother Huo Chi, wait for me. I will look for the professor to ask for leave now. Then I will go to the hospital with you."

Huo Chi nodded: "No rush, Be careful of falling."

Da Qiao nodded.

The male classmates in the class took in the sight of Da Qiao touching Huo Chi just now. Their hearts were sour.

One was squatting under the window and eavesdropped on them. But the distance was too far. He only heard "Elder Brother Huo Chi".

He turned around and told the other boys, "Could this person be her cousin or relative. Why else would she call him elder brother?"

At this time, the class monitor spoke up.

He gave everyone another stab: "There is a kind of elder brother called Lover Brother. Since Classmate Qiao calls him Elder Brother Huo, their relationship is probably great."

Other male classmates: Shut up!

After getting her leave, Huo Chi had already sorted out her books. The two soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

Da Qiao got into Huo Family's car and arrived at the hospital in less than half an hour with Huo Chi.

Currently in the ward, Dai Shu Fang had brought over the boiling congee she bought for Qiao Dong He.

However, the porridge was a little hot. She set it aside to cool. Once the temperature dropped, she'll get her to eat it.

Qiao Dong He watched Auntie Fang do all this for her and expressed with a pale face: "Auntie Fang, I'm so sorry. I had trouble you!"

After Sister Lan sent her to the hospital, she told her to notify her parents to come over because she still had children at home and couldn't be away for too long.

At that time, her first thought was that she couldn't let her mom come over. If her mom came, she would be scolded. She would probably have the heart to die then.

She was too tired now and didn't want to see her mom. So she gave Elder Sister Lan the number of Huo's house.

As soon as Auntie Fang received the call, she immediately came over by car. After she arrived, Elder Sister Lan went back.

Although Qiao Family had a good relationship with Huo Family, the person Huo Family loved was Younger Sister Da Qiao.

Dai Shu Fang waved her hand, "What's the relationship between your family and mine? Saying this, you're treating Auntie Fang as a stranger."

Qiao Dong He curved her lips into a smile.

She was once again benefitting from Younger Sister Da Qiao's good blessing.

Earlier when she was pushed down by her mother-in-law, she was deeply frightened. Especially when she felt the blood trickling between her legs. Her heart felt waves of fear and stings.

She was worried that the baby couldn't be saved. If Sister Lan hadn't arrived in time, or if it wasn't for the pill given by Younger Sister Da Qiao, the child would have been...

She subconsciously reached out and rubbed her slightly bulging belly. Fear lingered in her mind.

Dai Shu Fang's gaze followed her movement and landed on her stomach. After a pause, she spoke, "I shouldn't ask you this, but I really can't stand it anymore. Not a single one of this family is good! What do you have planned for in the future?"

Qiao Dong He bitterly grinned: "Auntie Fang, the embarrassing honest truth is that I'm in a mess right now. I actually don't know what to do."

Dai Shu Fang raised her brows when she heard this: "Dong He, don't tell me, you're going to forgive your mother-in-law and will go back to live with her as if it's nothing happened?"

If that's the case, she'll leave now!

Being weak wasn't a problem. Some people were inherently weak. But people who bullied to this point and still don't know how to resist weren't worth helping at all!

Qiao Dong He anxiously answered: "No! I won't forgive her even if I die! I will never live under the same roof with her again!"

At this time, she no longer wanted to call Mother Luo Mom or Mother-in-law. Because she didn't deserve it!

What she meant by she didn't know what to do was about her and Luo Jun Liang's marriage.

After this incident, everyone can't pretend that nothing happened.

But no matter how bad Mother Luo was, she was Luo Jun Liang's biological mother. Can he break the ties with his mother for her?

She didn't hold hope.

If it were her, she would not be able to do it if Luo Jun Liang asked her to cut off the mother-daughter relationship with her mom.

But the relationship between her and his mom was completely broken. It was impossible to coexist peacefully.

What Mother Luo said to her earlier still left chills.

That was why she was very confused and didn't know what would happen to her relationship with him.

At this response, Dai Shu Fang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. If you didn't wake up, I will lecture you on your grandmother's behalf!"

Although she felt that Qiao Dong He's character was still too soft, this was already an achievement in Dai Shu Fang's opinion.

Just now, she was worried that after Qiao Dong He was hit on the left cheek, she would stretch out the right cheek.

As for the affair between her and Luo Jun Liang, she, an outsider, will not be involved.

Marriage wasn't broken at the drop of a word. Especially after having children.

Some couples mutually dislike each other and fight all their lives. Still, they will live out their life. Neither would want to divorce.

After all, those who would be brave enough to divorce were a minority.

At present, Qiao Dong He was obviously not brave and firm enough.

Hearing Auntie Fang mentioning her grandmother, Qiao Dong He's eyes immediately turned red: "Auntie Fang, I'm really hopeless. I let everyone down. I know everyone is doing it for my own good. I will be stronger in the future!"

Though she didn't know if she can be a strong person, she didn't want to let her family down again because of her.

That feeling suck.

Seeing her like this, Dai Shu Fang felt that she still could be saved. Looking at the no-longer-boiling congee on the table, she brought it over to her.

Qiao Dong He took two bites when Da Qiao and Huo Chi came in.

"Elder Cousin Sister, how are you?"

Da Qiao strode to the bed with her long legs and examined her elder cousin sister up and down.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her bulging stomach.

When Qiao Dong He saw Da Qiao, she was both excited and embarrassed: "Younger Sister Da Qiao, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be in class at this time?"

Da Qiao said, "Is class more important than you?"

Qiao Dong He's heart that was chilled by Mother Luo gradually warmed: "I'm fine. The baby is fine too thanks to the pill you gave me last time."

At this, Da Qiao nodded, "That's great. When I gave it to you before, I was worried that you would throw it away!"

Qiao Dong He shook her head: "No. I keep everything you gave me."

Dai Shu Fang stood up and said to the two sisters, "We'll go out for a walk. You sisters have a good talk."

After that, she pulled Huo Chi out.

Da Qiao asked her elder cousin sister what happened and why she was admitted to the hospital.

Qiao Dong He didn't hide it and told her the whole story.

After Da Qiao heard this, her small face flushed with anger: "Old witch! She's simply worst than a pig or a dog. She's a beast!"

She never uttered such crude words. Mother Luo had the honor to receive her first crude greeting.

"I didn't expect her to be so sick!"

Although Qiao Dong He was a little surprised that Younger Sister Da Qiao could speak crude words, she would definitely not defend Mother Luo at this point.

"Elder Cousin Sister, what's are your plan now?"

Though Mother Luo must be taught a lesson, Da Qiao had to figure out what her cousin's plans were.

If she wanted to forgive the other, then she wouldn't be the villain.

When Qiao Dong He heard this question, she shook her head again: "I don't know, Younger Sister Da Qiao, what would you do if this happened to you?"

Da Qiao's big eyes were burning with anger: "If it were me, this kind of thing would never have happened. When the old witch forced you to drink the secret recipe, I would upturn the medicine on her head!"

Qiao Dong He: "..."

Da Qiao didn't plan to treat her elder cousin sister gently this time: "Elder Cousin Sister, you should toughen up. If you continue like this, you will be bullied again in the future. We won't care about you anymore then!"

Qiao Dong He's eyes reddened: "...I know."

"No, you don't know!" Da Qiao interrupted her, "You've been like this since little. You won't resist when scolded by Eldest Aunt. You are too kind and considerate. You are a good elder sister. But being like this is so frustrating!"

"While our family is reluctant to hurt you, you allow an outsider to bully yourself again and again. You aren't sorry to us. You doing wrong to yourself and the child in your stomach!"

Da Qiao stood up and looked at her elder cousin sister with a serious face: "Elder Cousin Sister, redemption isn't given to you by others. It is up to you whether you want to be brave or not!"

After she finished speaking, she turned away.

She was going to sort out that old witch, Mother Luo now!
