Chapter 24: 24

Hearing Qiao Zhen Guo's words, everyone burst into laughter!

Even Qiao Zhen Min laughed like a dog: "Eldest Brother, just eat your food. Why did you count how many dumplings Eldest Sister-in-law ate?"

Qiao Zhen Guo smiled sly and scratched his forehead, "Isn't it because your eldest sister-in-law has eaten too much? A while ago, she said that she was pregnant and had a bad appetite. I didn't see that she had a bad appetite. I saw her swallowing three dumplings in one bite. Truly not afraid of choking to death!"

Wan Chun Ju: "..."

Can you shut up? Can you shut up?

How could he say her in front of so many people? Did she still not want face!?

Speaking of it, why Qiao Zhen Guo chose Wan Chun Ju back then was a beautiful misunderstanding.

Qiao Zhen Guo always felt that he didn't have much capability. So he thought that he could not generate income for the family. Still, he could reduce the burden on the family.

Therefore, his only requirement when choosing a wife was to have a small appetite. As for what she looked like, it was fine as long as she wasn't so ugly that it was considered scary.

Of course, he didn't dare to speak out this request publicly. Only observe in private.

It happened that Wan Chun Ju failed a few blind dates because of her excessive appetite at home. In order to get married, her mom told her to not open up her appetite when she was on a blind date. Or else, she would beat her to death when she returned!

Wan Chun Ju was also worried that she would not be able to marry, so when she saw Qiao Zhen Guo, she only ate a little before saying that she couldn't eat it anymore. Qiao Zhen Guo saw that she had the same appetite as a cat, he was very satisfied. So the two successfully matched.

After marrying into the house, Wan Chun Ju had some control at the beginning. Then she became pregnant very quickly. With the excuse of pregnancy, her "cat-like appetite" was gone forever!

Although Qiao Zhen Guo lamented about his bad eyesight, he had never thought about divorce or anything. Since she could eat, then eat. It wasn't like he could sew her mouth to prevent her from eating, right?

Hearing the news that Wan Chun Ju was pregnant, both Qiao Zhen Min and Chen Qiao Qiao paused.

A gloom flashed across Qiao Zhen Min's eyes. He squeezed a smile and said, "Congratulations, Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law. The house will definitely be more lively when the time comes!"

He had only one daughter. Naturally, he wanted to have more children. But it was a pity that he...

Two years ago, he ran into a robber halfway in the journey when he was out in a foreign province. He was injured by the robber. The place where he was injured happened to be that spot.

Afterward, he went to the city hospital and was told that it would be difficult to have children in the future. He only told his wife Qiao Qiao about this matter. The family still didn't know about it.

Chen Qiao Qiao's slender eyes fell on Wan Chun Ju. A suspicion flashed through her eyes: "It turns out that Eldest Sister-in-law is pregnant. Why didn't you say that early? You just moved such a heavy object. Will it have a bad effect on you, Eldest Sister-in-law? "

Wan Chun Ju immediately turned into stone.

She had completely forgotten about her "pregnancy" again!

What was she thinking back then? Was her head under or got caught in the door? Why did she make up such a lie?

Without waiting for her to answer, Qiao Zhen Guo interrupted again: "You don't have to worry about her, Younger Sister. She is in good shape. Often accompany her good sister, Gu Gu on laps in old Second's courtyard!"

Wan Chun Ju: "..."

Chen Qiao Qiao was stumped for a moment: "Gu Gu? Which friend of Eldest Sister-in-law?"

Strange. Why Eldest Sister-in-law's friend show up in Second Brother's house?

Could it be...she wanted to introduce her friend to Second Brother?

Wasn't this too big of a pitfall?

Although Second Brother was good, he was always paralyzed now. No matter how nice he was, it was no good!

Da Qiao's baby voice cleared her Fifth Aunt's confusion: "Gu Gu is the old hen raised by my family. Eldest Aunt likes to play with her. Every time she come over, she will accompany her in running a circle. Last time, she called her Sister. Gu Gu was so happy!"

Wan Chun Ju: "..."

Every time the old hen saw her, she was in a fighting mode. Which eye saw that she happy to see her?

Chen Qiao Qiao recovered from the shock and examined Wan Chun Ju with the proud expression of Peacock Princess.

Her sixth sense told her that Wan Chun Ju was odd!

Wan Chun Ju's hair stood up from her gaze. At the same time, the arrogant gaze ignited a fire inside her: "Fifth Sister-in-law, why are you looking at me like this? It couldn't be that you are envious about me being pregnant? But this isn't something to be envious about. After all, my family got trait of big butt and easy pregnancy."

Everyone: "..."

Was she serious? Showing off her big butt in front of so many people?

Qiao Xiu Zhi didn't want to look at these two stupid daughter-in-laws!

Chen Qiao Qiao gritted her teeth internally. Suddenly her eyes flashed and smiled: "Before returning to the village, I heard a very interesting thing."

Wan Chun Ju shuddered. Her instincts was telling her that what Chen Qiao Qiao was about to say wasn't interesting at all!

Chen Qiao Qiao told: "The yard we live in got a family surnamed Wang. A while ago, that family's daughter-in-law suddenly became pregnant. The three generations of Wang Family only produced a seedling. They were so overjoyed about the news, they immediately spoiled that daughter-in-law. Unexpectedly, a few months passed and there was no reaction at all. Later, she was dragged to the hospital for an examination. It turned out that the daughter-in-law wasn't pregnant. She pretended to be pregnant to cheat for food and drinks. Aunt from Wang Family was so furious that used a rolling pin and gave daughter-in-law a round of beating. Don't you find it interesting?"

Wan Chun Ju was shivering all over.

Wan Chun Ju wanted to say what funny!

Wan Chun Ju wanted to use the dumplings on the table to plug her mouth!

But she dared not!

Lord, why did she tell such a lie in the first place!

And why did small butt Chen Qiao Qiao looked at her with that kind of eyes?

Did she discover something?

Qiao Zhen Guo was sitting next to Wan Chun Ju. Once Wan Chun Ju trembled, he swiftly noticed.

He lowered his head to look at his wife and found it weird: "Are you cold, wife?"

Wan Chun Ju shook his head: "It's not cold."

"Why are you shivering like this if it's not cold? I heard that once one is old, their hands and feet will shiver uncontrollably. The old man Xing in the west of the village is like this. Wife, are you declining before you are old?"

With that said, he deliberately imitated the trembling hands and feet of old man Xing as a demonstration for his wife.

The movements were vivid, just like convulsions.

Wan Chun Ju: "..."

She can't live this life anymore!

Why did she marry such a foolish guy!

Qiao Zhen Min glanced at his eldest sister-in-law with a sympathetic look. Then he asked Chen Qiao Qiao in a low voice, "Is there anyone surnamed Wang in our yard? Why don't I know."

Chen Qiao Qiao smiled at him: "There are so many things you don't know!"

If she was just skeptical, then she was 100% sure that Wan Chun Ju wasn't pregnant now!

But she couldn't understand why Wan Chun Ju would lie. After all, there was no special treatment for being pregnant in Qiao Family.

As the saying goes, the person that who knows you best is not your relative, not your lover, but your foe!

Wan Chun Ju never expected that Chen Qiao Qiao saw through her fake pregnancy the first day she came back.

Dumpling Da Qiao ate a total of eight dumplings, plus a small bowl of braised wild boar, and a bowl of pork bone soup. Her belly was bulging.

"Grandfather, my belly is so stuffed." She leaned in her grandfather's arms and acted cute.

Xue Chuan rubbed her round belly and smilingly spoke: "Wait for a while. Grandfather will take you out for a walk to digest everything."

Dumpling Da Qiao nodded. Then she pursed her small mouth in shyness: "When I come back after digestion, I think I can still eat five more dumplings."

As she said, she displayed the number with her little hand. Looked so delicate and cute.

Xue Chuan amusedly nodded: "Okay, I will set it aside for you. Once your belly have room, I will give it to you."

Da Qiao happily rubbed her grandfather's hand. Simply as adorable and lovely as a cute kitten.

Qiao Zhen Jun watched his eldest daughter act cute with his dad. His heart felt a little sour and uncomfortable.

Before at home, this child was had never been like this.

He had always thought that her character was like himself. Through and through dull. Now it seem that he was completely wrong!

In fact, it wasn't that she was simple and slow-witted. Nor that she didn't like to act cute. But that she knew no one in the family will dote her and let her act child-like. So when she was at home, she always acted sensible and considerate.

Seeing that everyone was full, Qiao Zhen Min coughed and announced an important news: "Dad and Mom, after the New Year, Qiao Qiao and Xiao Wan'er will not go back to the town with me."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help being stunned.

Although Qiao Zhen Min was only a temporary transporter for the supply and demand cooperative, he knew how to interact and got good network. So he got a single dormitory for himself as soon as he went to the supply and demand cooperative.

Qiao Xiu Zhi wasn't the kind of mother-in-law who wanted to bound her daughter-in-law by her side. In her opinion, parents can't accompany their children forever. Only their partners can accompany them until they grow old.

Besides, she wasn't too old to move. She didn't need a daughter-in-law to serve her at all. So from the beginning she let Chen Qiao Qiao follow Qiao Zhen Min to the town and live there.

Why did they suddenly stop living there?

Qiao Xiu Zhi looked at him and asked, "Did something happen?"

Qiao Zhen Min grinded his back molar and nodded: "The supply and demand cooperative got a ne director. That dormitory must be let out for his nephew."

One was the emperor, one was the courtier.
The new director certainly didn't like the subordinates who have a good relationship with the previous director. So Qiao Zhen Min, the temporary transporter, was the first on the chopping board.

Qiao Xiu Zhi didn't feel that the sky had flipped and calmly nodded: "If this is the case, then move back."

Seeing his mom's calmness, Qiao Zhen Min's nervousness instantly settled down.

In this family, his mom was like a pillar that support everyone. As long as she was there, it seem that there was nothing under the sky that can stump her.

...

After the pork division, the New Year was getting closer.

Although everyone lacked food and reduced their spending, big festivals like the New Year held a different meaning in everyone's hearts.

The poor have the poor's celebration, the rich have their rich lifestyle. Anyway, regardless of the rich or the poor, they repaired and replenished for the new year. Everyone was very busy.

On the second day after Qiao Zhen Min's family came back, Qiao Xiu Zhi led the whole family on a cleaning crusade except for Qiao Zhen Jun, who was immobile. Even Qiao Dong Wan, who was only three years old, received a task.

Da Qiao and her two elder cousin sisters were responsible for cleaning the chicken coop together.

Both cousins ​​took good care of her. Basically didn't let her dirty her hands.

Since Gu Gu drank the water with the koi jade, she can now lay at least two or three eggs every day. On good days, it can reach four or five eggs a day.

The people in the Qiao Family were amazed when they saw it.

Only Wan Chun Ju hid far away whenever she saw the old hen. Firstly, because she lost face. Secondly, she was afraid that the old hen will go crazy and chase her again.

After careful consideration, Qiao Xiu Zhi ordered Qiao Family to not spread this matter.

After all, this wasn't an ordinary matter. If it was publicized, not only will they be unable to keep the old hen, Da Qiao may get implicated.

No one in Qiao Family was against it.

Only laying low, they can make a fortune.

Now they can eat eggs every day. How satisfying was that. If the old hen, Gu Gu got snatched, this benefit will definitely be gone.

Da Qiao had observed Gu Gu's state. She noticed its vitality didn't change despite laying so many eggs every day. So she can safely give the koi jade water to Qiao's old house's hens to drink.

Therefore, the old hens in Qiao's old house began to lay eggs every day after Gu Gu. Everyone in Qiao Family couldn't close their mouths in joy.

In addition to feeding it to the old hens, Da Qiao also drank it herself. She secretly gave it to her dad and Qiao Family.

Among them, her grandfather drank the most.

Her grandfather's health was very bad. When the weather is cold, he has to lie in bed for many days. His face was as pale as paper. Her grandmother was so worried that she can't eat every time.

She didn't like to see her grandfather and her grandmother unwell. So she secretly threw jade beads into the water her grandfather drinks every day now. Hoping that the jade water can make her grandfather get better.

During this time, Da Qiao was very busy. On the contrary, Xiao Qiao had it rough.

Fang Fu Gui suffered a fracture and couldn't work to the field. His leg was still throbbing, which made his temper reached its worst point. The whole Fang Family from old woman Fang to the youngest daughter who was just born less than half a year ago was scolded by him.

In this atmosphere, old woman Fang's temper increased every day. Very explosives. Just a touch and it exploded. During this period, Fang Xiao Juan had been scolded into a dog every day. Her life was terrible.

Looking upon the fact that Xiao Qiao was a child prodigy, old woman Fang hadn't scolded her for the time being. Still, she didn't gave her any good attitude. Pointing at the mulberry when scolding the locust tree was an common occurence.

Xiao Qiao was also very irritable. She wished to move out of Fang's house immediately: "Mom, didn't you see Uncle Wang last night?"

Fang Xiao Juan's face was as dark as the ditch: "That damn man. He wants to flipped his face and refuse to recognize people after eating cleanly. As if I'll let him have his way!"

Since she was pissed on her face by the wild boar that day, she had never seen Wang Xin Sheng in person again.

She used the previous contact method, tying a cloth strip to the tree. As long as he was in the village, he could see it. She waited in the thatched hut until dawn a few times and even almost froze herself, she did not see him!

Dog man!

Want to abandon her? Dream on!

Xiao Qiao frowned: "Mom, what can you do?"

She guessed that Wang Xin Sheng was disgusted by the fact that her mom was pissed on her face by a wild boar. She was also very speechless about this!

How did her mom provoke that plague god, Da Qiao again?

She had clearly warned her before and told her not to provoke her during this period of time. She readily promised. With a turn of a head, she sought death again!

Fang Xiao Juan's lip corner curved into a smile. She lowered her head and touched her flat belly and said: "With this, I'm not afraid of him denying it!"

Xiao Qiao's eyes widened: "Mom, you mean... you are pregnant?"

Fang Xiao Juan nodded triumphantly: "Exactly a month. Wait another half a month. If he doesn't contact me, I will go to their Wang's house to cry!"

If their Wang Family dared not recognize the child in her stomach, she would go to the police station to report Wang Xin Sheng for indecent behavior!

At that time, not only will Wang Xin Sheng be arrested and shot, but also their entire Wang Family will become misfortunate!

And Wang Shui Sheng. Don't even think about being the production team leader!

Xiao Qiao finally stretched her frowning brows when she heard these words.

Wonderful, this child came at the right time!

As long as they had this child, she and her mom can enter Wang family smoothly and also gain a firm foothold in Wang Family!

After solving her mom's affairs, she thought of Da Qiao's matter again.

After much deliberation, she still couldn't determine whether Da Qiao got a system. So she went to the Qiao's small courtyard to find her. She wanted trick the truth out from her mouth. However, her few trips, she came up empty!

She didn't dare to go to Qiao's old house to find her. Simply vexing to death!

With the arrival of New Year's Eve, she soon had no time to seek to Da Qiao, because she was forced to stay at home by old woman Fang to take care of her little cousin sister Mao Ya Tou, who was still a baby.

Before she transmigrated into a book, she hated children in the previous life. Bratty kids and the likes were the most disgusting!

Before, when she was in Qiao's house and didn't have to do any work. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that her ten fingers would never get dirty due to chores. Unexpectedly, when she came to Fang's house, she got to wipe the baby's poo and pee. It was so disgusting that she couldn't eat!

It happened that Mao Ya Tou was difficult to mind. She had diarrhea every so often. Whenever she did, she wailed loudly. She can't coax her to stop. Once she cries, Fang Fu Gui will curse at others. Following that, old woman will come in and yell at her.

Her nose became crooked from anger!

She really didn't want to stay at Fang's house anymore!

...

Under everyone's anticipation, the '73 Spring Festival had finally arrived.

On New Year’s Eve, Qiao Zhen Jun was once again carried by Qiao Zhen Guo to Qiao’s old house.

Qiao Xiu Zhi led her two daughter-in-laws into the kitchen room early in the morning, while Xue Chuan supervised their two sons on pasting the Spring Festival couplets. Everyone worked away.



Da Qiao was so happy for the first time during the New Year. A grin pasted on her little face.

There was no need to work. From time to time, she can follow Elder Cousin Brother and run over the stove to have a sneaky bite. Although she felt this was wrong, but it was really exciting!

The most important thing was that she finally put on new clothes this New Year!

When she woke up this morning, she deliberately put on the little padded jacket her grandfather made for her. Although she can't see herself without a mirror, she felt pretty!

Qiao Dong Ying rubbed her padded jacket and said with envy: "Younger Sister Da Qiao, your clothes are so beautiful! Grandmother is so nice to you!"

It was a lie to say she wasn't eating vinegar or feeling envious. After all, who didn't want to wear new clothes?

But she didn't feel jealous or hated Younger Sister Da Qiao because of this. Younger Sister Da Qiao had a bad life in the past. Now it was rare chance to have new clothes. This was how it should be.

Dumpling Da Qiao's small face flushed red. She twisted her body and responded, "Grandfather made this for me. Elder Sister Dong Ying, am I beautiful today?"

Qiao Dong Ying threw back her head and laughed loudly: "Look how vain you are! Right! You are the most beautiful!"

Qiao Dong He pursed her lips in mirth while working at the side.

Only Wan Chun Ju felt uncomfortable at the sight of Da Qiao wearing something new. As if it was her flesh being cut.

In her opinion, what point was there for a girl to wear new clothes? Especially for the likes of calamity Da Qiao. Let alone wearing new clothes, she should be driven to Fang's house when the divorce happened!

Although Wan Chun Ju didn't like Xiao Qiao very much, she felt Xiao Qiao was better than Da Qiao.

After all, Xiao Qiao was a well-known child prodigy in Dongfeng Community. With a child prodigy in the family, she feels a shine on her face when speaking about it.

In addition to Wan Chun Ju, there was another person who thought of Xiao Qiao at this moment. This person was Chen Qiao Qiao.

Chen Qiao Qiao liked niece Xiao Qiao very much since she married into Qiao Family.

She felt Xiao Qiao was well-behaved and sensible. Beautiful and smart. Simply the daughter of her dreams!

She wondered many times how someone like Fang Xiao Juan could give birth to such a good child as Xiao Qiao. Xiao Qiao should be her child!

It was only on this trip back did she find out that Xiao Qiao had gone to Fang's house with Fang Xiao Juan. She was very disappointed.

Qiao Xiu Zhi looked at her from time to time. She couldn't pretend that she didn't know even when she wanted to: "If you got something to say, spit it out!"

Chen Qiao Qiao deliberated before replying, "Mom, isn't it the New Year? Do you think we should bring Xiao Qiao over for the countdown?"

Qiao Xiu Zhi raised her eyes and gave her a cool gaze. She didn't answer her stupid question.

When Chen Qiao Qiao received this gaze from her mother-in-law, she almost fell on the ground due to her legs softening.

Wan Chun Ju sneered, "I say, Fifth Sister-in-law, Xiao Qiao is no longer a child of our Qiao Family. Why are you still thinking about her? If you really can't bear her, you can go to Fang's house too!"

Chen Qiao Qiao switched to her Peacock Princess arrogant mode in a second and stated with a high chin, "Eldest Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Due to the child's small age, I feel distressed for her. Besides, even though she went to Fang's house, her blood still contained the blood of our Qiao Family!"

There was a reason why Wan Chun Ju always targeted Chen Qiao Qiao.

Chen Qiao Qiao was a town girl. Plus she had gone to high school. The highest educated person in the entire Qiao Family. So she always had a sense of superiority.

And this sense of superiority reached the highest value when facing the rural woman named Wan Chun Ju.

Wan Chun Ju disliked her up high appearance. The two couldn't get along with each other since the beginning. The actual grudge started four years ago.

That year, Chen Qiao Qiao followed Qiao Zhen Min back to the village for the New Year. Back then, the four year little An Ping was very curious about this youngest aunt who came from the town and wanted to climb onto her by himself.

Chen Qiao Qiao saw his snot-filled face and dirty hands, she pushed him away subconsciously. Xiao An Ping couldn't stand stably and fell backward with his four limbs facing up. At once, a howl reached the sky.

Wan Chun Ju rushed in when she heard her precious son crying. After learning about the situation, she raised her hand and gave Chen Qiao Qiao a slap in the face!

Since young Chen Qiao Qiao, she had never suffered this kind of anger?

Like this, the two's feud formed.

Whenever Wan Chun Ju saw Chen Qiao Qiao, she couldn't help but poke her.

It happened that her IQ and eloquence weren't Chen Qiao Qiao's match. Just one gaze from Chen Qiao Qiao was enough to make her mad.

Qiao Xiu Zhi watched the two of you exchange verbal fight with each other and slammed the basin in her hand on the stove: "All out. Once you quarrel enough, come back then!"

The two were silenced in a second. They glared at each other.

Wan Chun Ju paused to ponder. She felt that she could save the situation a little bit: "Mom, I'm not to blame for this. It's all because this woman. Mentioning Xiao Qiao out of nowhere..."

"Both get out! Don't let me say the same thing a third time!"

Wan Chun Ju didn't dare to make a sound anymore. Like quails, they slipped out of the stove room.

As soon as she walked out of the stove, Wan Chun Ju immediately cursed, "You make Mom angry as soon as you come back. Fifth Sister-in-law, you are really a natural troublemaker!"

Chen Qiao Qiao raised her chin open. A weird smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Eldest Sister-in-law, you're pretending to be pregnant, right?"

In an instant, Wan Chun Ju was petrified. It took a long time to squeeze out a dry answer: "You, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Whether I am talking nonsense, you should know, Eldest Sister-in-law!? Eldest Sister-in-law, what do you think Mom would do when find out that you were pretending to be pregnant?"

Wan Chun Ju trembled: "..."

Chen Qiao Qiao took in her guilty conscience and became certain that she faked the pregnancy.

Qiao Zhen Guo and Qiao Zhen Min heard their mother's angered voice from outside just now, so they came to see what happened.

Qiao Zhen Min spoke: "What happened? Why did I seem to hear my mom yell?"

While Qiao Zhen Quo turned to wife and sighed: "Wife, why did you make Mom angry again? Can't you behave during the new year?"

Wan Chun Ju: "..."

He was also a husband. How come he assumed that she was the one who caused the trouble?

Even if he can't defend her, don't drag her down and step on her face!

However Qiao Zhen Guo couldn't understand her expression and continued to sigh: "Shouldn't had married a wife at the beginning. If I didn't marry a wife, Mom won't be angered."

Qiao Zhen Min: "..."

Brother, doing this make it easier for you become a loner!

Wan Chun Ju went red and white with anger: "Qiao Zhen Guo, what do you mean by that? Do you want to divorce me?"

Qiao Zhen Guo looked dumbfounded: "No. Why would you think of a divorce? You are so funny!"

Qiao Zhen Min: "..."

Chen Qiao Qiao: "..."

Wan Chun Ju felt that her face was lost in front of Chen Qiao Qiao: "Qiao Zhen Guo, live by yourself. I will go back to my maternal home!"

Wan Chun Ju originally wanted to threaten her man by returning to her maternal home. It was a pity that Qiao Zhen Guo and her had never been on the same channel.

Hearing this, Qiao Zhen Guo nodded and said, "Sure. Your appetite is getting bigger and bigger now. It's fine for you to go back to your maternal home for a period of time. This way, you won't eat until your in-law's family into poverty."

Wan Chun Ju: "..."

This time, even Chen Qiao Qiao looked at Wan Chun Ju with sympathy.

Da Qiao didn't know what happened in Qiao's old house. At this moment, she was sneaking to the East Forest.

She hid her small body behind a big tree and made a 'gu gu' sound.

Soon, a 'gu gu' sounded from behind the big tree a few meters away.
