Adored Koi in the ’70s

Chapter 33

It was time to meet little Brother Dong Lin again.

Da Qiao had six candies and two eggs in her pocket and was about to go out.

But as soon as she walked out of the room, she ran into two obstacles.

"Gugu!"

"Woof woof!"

A chicken and a dog guarded the door of her room. Their expressions were baby fierce.

Da Qiao softly urged: "I'm not going to my grandparent's. So I can't take you there, understand?"

"Gugu!"

"Woof woof!"

Da Qiao thought they understood and walked past them.

Unexpectedly, a chicken and a dog followed behind her like a flower-protector and wouldn't go back no matter what. Da Qiao had no choice but to let them follow.

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene.

Some women, who had no daughters, took in how fair and tender Da Qiao grew and their hearts felt itchy.

"Da Qiao is become more and more better-looking. I will be satisfied if my daughter is half as good-looking as her in the future!"

"Oh, don't you think Da Qiao look like the prosperous baby in the New Year picture?"

At this age, one or two New Year paintings were present in someone's house. Even if they didn't own one, they had at least seen it in another's home.

At this moment, they Da Qiao wearing a red cotton-padded jacket. On her head was two small buns. And those big eyes and small red lips! Her skin was fair and tender as if one could pinch water out.

It was fine, if they didn't mention it. But now, they brought it up, the more she looked like one. Everyone started revolved around the topic 'prosperous baby'.

Liu Cui Hua jollily remarked, "A child who looks like a prosperous baby must also be a blessed child. Look, didn't her stutter get cured?"

Everyone nodded and felt that the child wasn't as unbearable as Fang Xiao Juan said.

Fang Xiao Juan returned from picking vegetables from her own garden. She happened to hear this and immediately mocked: "Eldest Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense if you don't have knowledge. What prosperous baby? Have you ever seen a prosperous baby who almost killed her mom and sister when she was born? "

Liu Cui Hua was furious: "The mouth is grown on me. I can say what I want. You can't control it!"

Fang Xiao Juan instantly ignited: "Eldest Sister-in-law, we are one family. Instead of helping me to speak, you are helping that calamity. What is your intention?"

Liu Cui Hua did have "intentions".

Since her man said those words last time, she had intentionally or unintentionally getting along with Qiao Family. She had the intention of getting on Qiao Family's good side when she spoke of Da Qiao being blessed just now.

Seeing her reaction, Fang Xiao Juan became more and more convinced that she was guilty: "I heard that Eldest Sister-in-law often went to Qiao's small house these two days. Could it be that Eldest Sister-in-law... have thoughts toward Qiao Family's paralyzed man?"

These words were overboard!

Rural women were always talkative. If these word spreads out, it will be like one have fallen into the yellow mud, but other will insist it was poo when it isn't!

"Talk nonsense! Then go talk nonsense! You don't respect yourself and also think everyone is as cheap as you?"

Liu Cui Hua was completely infuriated. She jumped up with a "whoosh", grabbed Fang Xiao Juan's hair, raised her big hand and swung out two slaps.

Fang Xiao Juan was caught off guard. Her face distorted from the slap and her cheeks quickly turned red and swollen: "Liu Cui Hua, you dare to hit me? That's it!"

She reached out and grabbed Liu Cui Hua's hair. The two quickly scuffled into a ball.

Liu Cui Hua was a good hand at farm work, so how Fang Xiao Juan be her opponent. She was quickly suppressed under Liu Cui Hua's body.

On the side, Xiao Qiao anxiously jumped: "Mom, Eldest Aunt, don't fight! Everyone is one family. You guys being like this is letting people watch a joke?"

During this time, she felt more and more that her mom was like a pig teammate!

A good card was smashed rotten by her!

Simply pissing her off to death!

Some people went up to pull them away. While some people gloatingly watched the play: "Xiao Qiao, you open mouth and say one family. Then what does Qiao Family count as? Qiao Family did raise you for so many years. Now you change the way of addressing just like this? Isn't it a bit too white-eyed wolf?"

"Ain't that right? Previously, Fang Family said Da Qiao is a white-eyed wolf before. I feel Xiao Qiao is the real heartless child. Qiao Family didn't wronged her. But as soon as old Second Qiao is paralyzed, she immediately followed her mom away!"

Xiao Qiao was so mad that her nose was crooked!

A group of village women with broken mouths. Whether she have any conscience or not was no concern of theirs!

After Liu Cui Hua was pulled away, she glared at Fang Xiao Juan and spat on the ground, "Let me hear your nonsense next time and I'll beat you!"

Fang Xiao Juan was lying on the ground. Her hair was messy like a chicken coop, her cheeks were red and swollen. There were several nail marks on her face.

She was trembling with anger and was about to scold her when she suddenly felt a pain in her stomach.

She screamed "Ouch" as she clutched her stomach.

At first everyone thought that Fang Xiao Juan was acting until a woman with sharp eyes saw the blood on her trousers and yelled: "You are bleeding! Fang Xiao Juan, your trousers are bloody!"

Bleeding?

Liu Cui Hua's heart dropped and then she remembered Fang Xiao Juan's pregnancy. Her face was as white as paper.

...

Da Qiao didn't know that after she left, her mom fought someone because of her.

At this moment, she came to the East Forest with Gu Gu and Pi Pi. Like last time, she made a cuckoo sound toward the tree.

But after calling several times, there was no response.

She frowned. Did little Brother Dong Lin not come over?

Her gaze swept around and saw that there was no one. So she walked towards the other end with her short legs.

She thought that little Brother Dong Lin hadn't come, but when she walked over, she unexpectedly saw a little one sitting under the big tree. His red eyes was in midst of spilling golden drops.

Da Qiao was startled and asked anxiously, "Little Brother Dong Lin, what's wrong with you? Did someone bully you?"

Xiao Dong Lin swept her a grieved glance and turned around with a harrumph. Leaving a little butt facing her.

Da Qiao:""

What happened to little Brother Dong Lin?

Why did it seem like he was mad at her?

"Little Brother Dong Lin, what's wrong? Are you angry with Elder Sister Qiao Qiao?"

Da Qiao coaxed for a while, but little Dong Lin remained silent.

She could only stand up and pretend to walk away: "Little Brother Dong Lin, since you don't want to talk to me, then I can only leave."

Hearing that she was leaving, little Dong Lin immediately became anxious. He turned around and grabbed her sleeve and accusingly asked, "Elder Sister Qiao Qiao, do you not like little Dong Lin anymore?"

Da Qiao hurriedly shook her head: "No. Little Brother Dong Lin is so cute, how could I not like you?"

Little Dong Lin finally revealed a smile on his face when he heard this.

But thinking of how Elder Sister Qiao Qiao held hands with the little boy that day, he still felt very aggrieved: "But you have other cuties, so you don't like this cutie!"

It dawned on Da Qiao. So little Brother Dong Lin was jealous.

She quickly took out milk candy and eggs from her pocket: "Look, these are all for you. If Elder Sister Qiao Qiao doesn't like you, why would I save them for you?"

Little Dong Lin's black eyes instantly lit up. His brows and eyes curled along with his smile: "Little Dong Lin likes Elder Sister Qiao Qiao the most. Elder Sister Qiao Qiao, you are so nice!"

Da Qiao saw that little Brother Dong Lin became happy, she merrily responded: "I also like little Brother Dong Lin."

It didn't contain the word "most". Little Dong Lin was a little dissatisfied and pouted his small mouth, "Then compared with small eyes?"

Small Eyes?

Little Brother Dong Lin should be talking about little Brother Yi Ming right?

She reached out and poked his little face with a smile: "You are all cute. Elder Sister Qiao Qiao like you all!"

Little Dong Lin was still dissatisfied with this answer, but dropped it. As long as Elder Sister Qiao Qiao still liked him, it was fine: "Then Elder Sister Qiao Qiao can't like him more than little Dong Lin. Otherwise... little Dong Lin will cry!"

Da Qiao felt that little Brother Dong Lin's threat was so cute. So cute that her heart melted.

Little Dong Lin came home happily with the candy and eggs. This happened to be seen by his mom again.

But after the last incident, Lin Hui no longer dared to carelessly accuse him: "Did you go to meet your elder sister Qiao Qiao again?"

Little Dong Lin nodded. His eyebrows curved: "Elder Sister Qiao Qiao is the best. Look, this is the candy and eggs that Elder Sister Qiao Qiao gave me!"

Lin Hui looked at the candy and eggs in his hand and solemnly asked, "Dong Lin, do you want Elder Sister Qiao Qiao to become your real elder sister?"

Little Dong Lin tilted his head. His delicate brows knitted together: "What does it mean to become a real elder sister?"

Lin Hui suddenly felt her mouth was a little dry.

She licked her lips and replied, "That... Do you want to live with your elder sister Qiao Qiao in the future? Play together and go to school together." Be a family for a lifetime.

Little Dong Lin's eyes became as bright as the stars in the sky and he nodded wildly: "Yes, yes! Little Dong Lin wants to live with Elder Sister Qiao Qiao! Play together and go to school together!"

He liked Elder Sister Qiao Qiao the most. But his mom and grandma told him not to casually go to play with Elder Sister Qiao Qiao, otherwise others will speak ill of Elder Sister Qiao Qiao.

He didn't like others speaking ill of Elder Sister Qiao Qiao. So they can only meet secretly in the woods. He didn't like this though.

Lin Hui patted his head, as if she had made up her mind: "Mom knows. I will definitely find a way to let you live with Elder Sister Qiao Qiao."

...

After Fang Xiao Juan bleed, Liu Cui Hua didn't dare to delay no matter how much she hated her. She immediately sent her to the health center.

After examination, the doctor at the health center said that Fang Xiao Juan had signs of miscarriage. So she should properly nurture it in the following days. If not, the baby can't be preserved.

These words made the villagers, who came with them and heard it clearly, wiggled brows at each other and ate another mouthful of melon.

After returning, they immediately sang about it to the public.

The villagers of Qili Village said that they had eaten melons twice in the past three days. It was stuffing them to death!

Some people recalled that someone said about Fang Xiao Juan being shameless before and immediately realized that Fang Xiao Juan had gotten together with Wang Xin Sheng long ago!

It was unknown whether the two got together before Fang Xiao Juan's divorce, or after the divorce. If before the divorce, tsk tsk tsk. A big problem!

But whether before or after the divorce, the fact that Fang Xiao Juan was a slut cannot be changed.

Hearing the rumors outside, Fang Xiao Juan was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

What made her vomit blood even more was that none of Wang Family blamed Liu Cui Hua. Instead, they blamed her for having a broken mouth.

She thought that her man, Wang Xin Sheng would stand by her side. Unexpectedly, he put down fierce words. Told her not to cause trouble again in the future, otherwise she would be divorced and returned to her maternal home!

Her chest ached from fury.

It was driving her mad. What kind of broken life was this!

Qiao Family had heard about Fang Xiao Juan's pregnancy and became even more disgusted with her.

Only Qiao Zhen Jun was solemn for a day.

It was unknown whether he was sad because of Fang Xiao Juan, or because his man's self-esteem getting hurt.

Qiao Family had no time to study his mood, because the spring ploughing finally arrived.

The villagers gave up their gossip and threw themselves into farm work.

One get what they sow.

If one didn't want to be hungry next year, this spring ploughing was very important. So no matter how lazy one was, they became serious these days.

The Qili villagers were very busy.

Compared with the autumn harvest, spring ploughing was easier. Still, it was also very tiring.

The temperature in spring was still very cool. However, they can't wear too much clothes when they work in the field, otherwise they. After taking off their clothes, one by one, they trembled as they entered the field. Soon they were scorched by the sun until it almost peeled off a layer of skin.

And the land. After a whole winter of wind and frost, the land had become dry and hard. It was very difficult to plough. If one was as powerless as a chicken, they can't do this work!

At this time, everyone especially liked to work with Qiao Xiu Zhi.

Inherent supernatural strength wasn't a random talk. To a person with a punch that can kill more than 200 jin wild boar, loosening the soil was nothing in her eyes.

Qiao Xiu Zhi was in good health and she was hardworking and diligent. With a hoe, she swung a few times and the soil was soon loosened.

Although spring ploughing was very tiring, everyone was very focused. No one complained, except for Fang Family.

Fang Family thought that after they became in-laws with Wang Family, they could do whatever type of work they wanted. They get to choose the work in the entire production team.

They even told some people that if they wanted something easy, they could help them get the job.

Some people, who didn't have much connection with Wang Family, went to Fang Family with gifts and asked them to help after hearing this. Fang Family patted their chest and assured that there would be no problem.

The results?

Forget about other people. Even Fang Family was arranged to do the most tiring work!

Fang Family was so angry that their noses were crooked. They ran to Wang's home to demand an explanation. However, Wang Family couldn't be bothered with them.

Old woman Fang patted her thigh and threatened Wang Family, saying that if they didn't do what she said, she would get her daughter divorce Wang Xin Sheng!

Not only was Wang Family not afraid, they were smiling in delight. They urged her to quickly take Fang Xiao Juan back!

Old woman Fang was stunned.

This was completely different from the expected chicken and dog ascending to heaven!

Those who wanted to go through the back door saw that Wang Family did not buy it and all demanded Fang Family to spit out the things they gifted.

Spitting out the things they have pocketed was simply cutting old woman Fang's flesh!

Old woman Fang was so infuriated that her chest hurt.

She laid on bed for two days. She didn't get out of bed until the spring ploughing began.

After all morning's work, old woman Fang's back hurt as if it was about to break. She couldn't stand up straight.

As soon as the production supervisor walked away, she hurriedly sat at the side to laze around. She glared at Qiao Xiu Zhi as she hammered her waist, "I don't know what that woman grew up on. How is she so strong?"

The two were about the same age. She was exhausted to death, while Qiao Xiu Zhi seemed to be fine. More vitality than a young man's body!

It was really enviable!

At this moment, Da Qiao came over with a kettle in hand.

What is this bun called?

She was skipping as go. The two little buns on her head shook with her skipping. It was simply adorable to look at.

All the way, everyone, who saw her cute appearance, couldn't help but feel their heart soften.

Someone took the initiative to greet her: "Da Qiao, what are you doing here? Everyone is working. This is not a place to play."

Da Qiao raised the kettle in her hand and smiled sweetly: "Auntie, I'm not here to play. I'm here to bring water to Grandfather, Grandmother, Eldest Uncle, and Fourth Aunt. They have worked hard."

When everyone heard her words, they praised her for her filial piety.

When Da Qiao heard the compliments, she smiled even more happily. Her eyebrows curved and eyes became crescent.

When passing the area where old woman Fang worked, old woman Fang stopped her in her coarse voice: "Da Qiao, give me the kettle in your hand!"

Da Qiao ran away into the distance with a 'thump thump thump' before turning back and replied, "This is for my grandfather and grandmother. Not for you!"

Old woman Fang was steaming mad!

She jumped up and slapped her thighs as she scolded: "You little bastard! A white-eyed wolf with no conscience! I am your biological grandma! What's wrong with letting me drink water? You are so unconscionable. Be careful of getting struck by lightning!"

Some people couldn't stand it and stepped in, "Da Qiao already said it's for her grandfather and grandmother. If you wanted to drink it, shouldn't you ask your grandson to send it over?"

Old woman Fang firmed her neck and tuck, "My precious grandson is born to enjoy happiness. The work like delivering water can only done by worthless girls!"

Hearing old woman Fang's words, everyone sneered in their hearts.

The whole Fang Family was spoiled by old woman Fang.

Fang Fu Gui was a couch potato. In previous years, he had no broken leg and wouldn't work in the fields. He asked for a leave every few days.

Fang Fu Gui didn't have to work anymore. There was no need to mention the grandsons, Fang You Liang and Fang You Rou. Usually at home, even the meals were prepared and placed in front of them by old woman Fang.

This Fang Family was supported by old Fang and Fang Fu Gui's wife.

Of course, old woman Fang had raised a few good daughters. After they got married, they would sneakily bring back things to their maternal home from time to time. Otherwise, Fang Family would have starved to death!

Tsk tsk tsk. It was said that Fang Fu Gui's wife had suffered from eight lifetimes of bad luck. When she married, she was a fresh youthful girl. Now she was only 30 years old. However, she looked like a forty-year-old person.

Old woman Fang was mad that Da Qiao wouldn't listen to her. But she was afraid that Qiao Xiu Zhi would hear her. So she only dared to curse in a low voice.

The production supervisor came over. Old woman Fang quickly stood up.

Probably due to getting up in a hurry, she tripped over something under her feet, staggered, and fell down on the ridge.

'BANG!'

Everyone looked up and saw that old woman Fang had her face plunged into the mud mound and her butt raised high. She was lying on the ground in a funny and weird posture.

Someone couldn't help burst into laughter with 'puchi': "I say, old woman Fang, what are you doing with your ass so high?"

Old woman Fang was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

Fang Fu Gui's wife froze for a moment before she hurried over to help her mother-in-law up.

Old woman Fang grabbed her hand and stood up. Suddenly a 'crack' was heard...

The next moment, she screamed like a slaughtered pig: "Ouch, my old waist!"
