Chapter 74: 74

Da Qiao's deep black eyes widened: "Elder Brother Huo Chi, why do you say that? Did you discover something?"

Seeing that she didn't get angry when her face being pinched by him, Huo Chi was helpless at her good temper.

He let go her face and answered, "En, I found a pile of chicken feathers and chicken bones on the slope where your sister fainted. Those things are still fresh. It should have been buried in the past few days!"

Da Qiao's eyes widened: "Elder Brother Huo Chi, can you show me it now?"

Huo Chi nodded and glanced around. Seeing that no one around, he took her into the thickets.

The place where the chicken bones and feathers were buried was in the bushes less than two meters away from Xiao Qiao's fainting spot.

"Elder Brother Huo Chi, how do you know there are chicken bones and feathers buried here?"

Da Qiao squatted down and carefully identified the chicken feathers. It was really fresh. Not like it had been buried for a long time. No one had come in this part of West Wood before. So there was no third party except Xiao Qiao.

Huo Chi shook his head: "I didn't know something was buried here. But your younger sister had bleed a lot that day. At the time, my mom said that she probably couldn't survive. Unexpectedly, after one night, she came back with nothing. It's weird!"

At that time, Xiao Qiao was covered in blood when she was found. The ground was also stained red with blood. If she really had shed so much blood, she would have died of blood loss long ago. Even if she survived by luck, she should be discharged from the hospital so fast. Or appeared to be full of vitality.

There must be something up here!

So he sneaked into West Wood to find evidence while the villagers went to work. And he found it!

Da Qiao tilted her head and pondered for a moment. Then she softly spoke, "You mean the blood on Young Sister's body...is chicken blood?"

Huo Chi nodded: "There is no other way to explain her situation!"

At that time, Xiao Qiao must have rolled down the slope and hit her brain. Only a bit of blood spilled out. The situation shouldn't be serious. In order to pretend to lose her memory, she caught a wild chicken, killed it, and got its blood on herself. Like this, it seem serious and can deceive everyone.

That day, everyone was frightened when they saw how much blood she bleed. They didn't know whether the blood on her body was human blood or chicken blood. Later, everyone's attention was on her memory loss. Like this, the matter was muddled through.

Da Qiao thought for a while. Her deep black eyes looked at him admiringly, "Elder Brother Huo Chi, you are so amazing! I couldn't consider this!"

Huo Chi turned his face to the side and responded, "I'm so-so."

Da Qiao blinked her long eyelashes and curiously eyed at him, "Elder Brother Huo Chi, why is your face red?"

Huo Chi's face became hot: "... I've walked so far just now. I'm a little hot. By the way, what are you going to do next?"

Da Qiao witnessed his ears quickly turning red under the sun. She found it amusing: "I want to tell my grandmother!"

Huo Chi approved of her approach. Da Qiao's grandmother was reasonable and domineering. She won't let Xiao Qiao's tricks succeed.

The two buried the soil back before quietly running back to continue picking wild vegetables.

The villagers were overjoyed at this side. So many fruits and fishes. Even the new year wasn't as bountiful!

In addition to being happy, everyone sighed with regret. Why didn't they find out there was such an entrance earlier?

The trap at the other entrance of West Wood was set up many years ago. At that time, there weren't so many mists in the mountains. Later, when there were more and more mists, no one dared to casually enter.

This time it was really a bumper harvest. Every household was given at least two fish and ten jins of fruit. Everyone couldn't help swallowing when they looked at the plump grass carp.

Huo Chi's family also got a share of one fish and two jins of fruit because of their merit in leading the way.

Wang Shui Sheng specially instructed everyone not to spread it everywhere. If people from other production teams knew about it, maybe the things in this forest would be confiscated by the community in the future!

Since it concerned their own interests, naturally no one would object. They all patted their chests and promised that they would never say it.

It was getting late. Wang Shui Sheng ordered the meeting to end and everyone hurriedly brought things home to cook!

...

Qiao Family got three fish. Two were used that night to make braised tofu fish.

First, clean up the grass carps. Then, it was smashed into pieces. Once the oil was in the pan and was hot enough, the minced garlic and ginger go in. A scent came out. The diced fish got poured in and fried until it was slightly golden. Adjust the seasoning and add some rural pickled peppers and brined veg to stew together. Once it was almost stew enough, the rural old tofu were cut into it. Simmer for ten minutes and it was done.

The grass carps raised under the waterfall was very tender. Without a hint of earthy taste. The tofu, which was embedded with flavor, was also very tasty. That night, Qiao Family almost swallowed their tongues.

Wan Chun Ju downed four bowls of dry rice by herself. The fish was so tender that she almost shed tears. After she became pregnant, she couldn't eat meat. Now this strange problem was finally cured!

Because she was still in confinement, she pushed the bowl to her daughters to wash after eating.

She picked up little Dong Yun, who was beside her, to feed her: "Mom's precious darling. Oh, how can you eat so much? Really Mom's precious!"

She looked at the daughter in her arms. Her face shone with the brilliance of motherly love. Qiao Zhen Guo, who walked in, trembled.

His wife had been very abnormal recently!

Wan Chun Ju was born in a family that favored sons over daughters. She herself was the same. When Qiao Dong He and Qiao Dong Ying were born, she had a dark face every day. She was worried that she wouldn't be able to give birth to a son in the future.

This fourth child was another daughter. Everyone thought she would be displeased. Who knew that she was like a different person.

She hugged her daughter every day and called her little precious darling. She sang how good-looking and smart she was. Or how she was the most beautiful child in the whole community. No matter whether little Dong Yun cried and pooped, she was patient. Simply almost catching up to the An Ping favoritism back then!

Wasn't her current state abnormal?

Qiao Zhen Guo asked, "Wife, why have you been talking with your voice pinched recently? Do you feel any irritation?"

Wan Chun Ju blushed with anger: "Qiao Zhen Guo, why can't you spit out ivory from your dog's mouth every day?"

Qiao Zhen Guo said: "I don't have a dog's mouth. So of course I can't spit out ivory! And there is no ivory in the dog's mouth. Wife, don't talk nonsense in the future. It will make you look uneducated!"

Wan Chun Ju: "..."

From the start, she was uneducated!

Wan Chun Ju took a deep breath and changed the subject: "Zhen Guo, I gave little Dong Yun a nice name."

She felt that the name Dong Yun wasn't good. She should use two words name like Da Qiao, so that she would look cute and be liked by Father-in-law and Mother-in-law!

Qiao Zhen Guo laughed: "Wife, you can't even recognize your own name. What good name can you come up with?"

Wanchun Ju thumped him hard: "...Who said that one can't choose a good name when one is illiterate? I want to change our daughter's name to Tian Tian. What do you think of this name? Isn't it nice?"

"Hahaha..." When Qiao Zhen Guo heard the name, he immediately laughed like a dog, "Wife, you might as well call her Da Niu!"

Although he didn't dislike that his little daughter' not-so-pretty look, it was a fact that she wasn't good-looking.

The average baby was only ugly when it was first born. Wrinkled skin like an old man. But it grow and will become more beautiful in a few days. However, little Dong Yun was even more ugly after she grows.

The more she grew, the more she looked like Wan Chun Ju. Her skin was naturally tanned. She got a flat nose and a big mouth. The name of such a little girl was Tian Tian? Simply have the same effect as naming a beauty Da Zhuang or Gou Dan. Very discordant.

Wan Chun Ju was so angry that her face turned red and white: "Qiao Zhen Guo, this is your biological daughter. Does you conscience not hurt to talk about her like this as her dad?"

Qiao Zhen Guo reached out and touched his chest. He confirmed, "Yes, it doesn't hurt at all."

Wan Chun Ju: "...If you think Tian Tian doesn't sound good, call her Yun Yun, Qiao Yun Yun."

Qiao Zhen Guo scratched his head and pointed out, "Won't it be different from her two elder sisters?"

Wan Chun Ju said as a matter of course: "Then Dong He and Dong Ying also change along. Change to Qiao He He and Qiao Ying Ying!"

The sisters, Qiao Dong He and Qiao Dong Ying walked in and happened to hear this. They immediately uttered in unison, "I don't want!"

What bloody name was that!

Qiao Ying Ying wasn't bad. But what the hell was Qiao He He?

At the thought of her name changing to this, Qiao Dong He openly confronted her mom for the second time.

Wan Chun Ju gritted her teeth angrily: "Even if you don't want, you still have to! As a child, whatever name your parents give you, you have to use it. What place do you have to decide?"

Qiao Dong Ying rolled her eyes and retorted, "Mom, if you are willing to change my name to Wan Sha Zhu, I will allow you to change my name!"

Wan Chun Ju was so furious that her whole face turned red: "You damn girl. You really infuriate me! Zhen Guo, you handle your two daughters!"

However, Qiao Zhen Guo laughed like a dog again: "Hahaha, why don't you mother and daughters change names together?"

Wan Chun Ju exploded into puffer fish!

While at the main room. Da Qiao told the adults about today's findings. Everyone was shocked when they heard it.

They knew that Xiao Qiao had a scheming heart, but they didn't expect her it too be this deep!

With a cold face, Qiao Xiu Zhi stated: "We were also careless. To ignore such an important matter!"

Qiao Hong Xia was amazed: "Say, how did that child grow? At this age, she knows how to use this kind of trick to scheme against everyone. If she grows up more, what will she be like?"

Lin Hui rubbed her belly and didn't speak. She was very glad that she hardened her heart to let her come back to Qiao's house before. Otherwise, with such a calamity living at home, how could she sleep peacefully?

Seeing her mom's actions, Da Qiao clustered over. She lightly leaned on her belly and said softly, "Younger brothers, I'm Elder Sister. Are you guys good today?"

Lin Hui's gazes went soft: "They are very good. It must be because they have a good elder sister like you to set an example for them!"

When Da Qiao heard the words, her eyes brighten while her heart was full of pride.

Qiao Hong Xia paused before speaking out, "Dad, Mom, do you want to expose her in front of everyone?"

Xue Chuan pondered a moment. Then he shook his head, "I don't think this is appropriate."

Once it's explained like this, everyone may not believe it. After all, Xiao Qiao was only a seven-year-old child. Everyone will only think that they didn't want to raise Xiao Qiao and want to "quickly take the killer move".

Second, he didn't want to force the dog into the poor alley. That child had so many scheme as well as having such distorted mentality. If she is forced to a desperate situation, it will be hard to guard against if she does something more extreme.

Thirdly, no matter how bad she was, she still got the blood of Qiao Family. If something happen, it wasn't like they can kill her, right?

Qiao Xiu Zhi nodded: "Your dad is right. It's better to resolve this matter privately."

The next day, Xiao Qiao was called to Qiao's old house.

...

This was the first time Xiao Qiao stepped into Qiao's house since she and her mom left Qiao's house.

Her heart trembled with anticipation.

She thought her acting skills deceived everyone and made them finally accept her!

Unexpectedly, as soon as she took a step into Qiao's old house, Qiao Xiu Zhi cut straight into her fake amnesia and the matter of using chicken blood as blood on herself. Qiao Xiu Zhi didn't allow her room to refute and announced Qiao Family's decision.

"Go back and tell your mom monthly meat and eggs is abolished. You will no longer be a child of our Qiao Family. You're not allowed to step into Qiao's house. Nor are you allowed to approach anyone in Qiao Family. Once you grow up, your dad will give you a dowry. Other than that, don't think about anything else!"

Qiao Xiu Zhi stared at her as she coldly uttered.

The production team distributed grain every year based on the population-labor ratio 6:4. Xiao Qiao now had to study and can’t work in the fields. So she can’t earn food from the labor part.

As for tuition fees, if Fang Xiao Juan really can't afford it, Qiao Family can help out until she graduate from elementary school. There will be no more after that.

With so such sly mind, it was better to not let her read too many books!

Xiao Qiao was trembling with anger!

She thought that Qiao Family wanted her to come over to accept her in. Unexpectedly, it was to cut off relations with her!

She squeezed her fingers hard to calm herself down. Her eyes reddened. Tears fell as she spoke, "Grandmother, I don't know what you're talking about... I don't understand. My head hurts..."

"Stop pretending!" Qiao Hong Xia said with a look of contempt, "We have found the chicken feathers and chicken bones you buried in West Wood. If you don't admit it, we can call everyone in the production team to examine it together. You lost so much blood that day and the doctor didn't say anything. I want to see what's going on!"

In fact, they were too hasty that day to the hospital. Qiao Zhen Jun didn't dare to check Xiao Qiao's wound at will. While the doctor didn't ask too much. He just assumed that the child fell on chicken blood and hit her head.

Xiao Qiao was so vex that she was about to explode!

Her fingers dug to the point her palm bleed. She bit her lip and didn't speak.

The day she rolled down the slope and hit the back of her head, she did bleed. But not much. She woke up after an hour or two of unconsciousness.

After that, she didn't dare to move around casually. She hid behind the rocks on the slope and waited for the dawn. What made her feel chilled was that no one came to look for her after she disappeared for a whole night!

Later, she came up with an idea and felt that this was a good opportunity to survive. She could pretend to lose her memory and return to Qiao's house!

A wild chicken happened to run by nearby. She caught the wild chicken, killed it and got the chicken blood spilled on her body and the ground. After lighting a fire, the chicken was grilled and eaten. Then all the chicken feathers and chicken bones were buried in the bushes.

She thought she implemented it flawlessly. Unexpectedly, she was discovered so quickly!

Seeing her biting her lip and not speaking, Qiao Xiu Zhi became more and more wary of her: "Go back. Remember what I said and don't make trouble again!"

A seven-year-old child actually didn't panic after her lies being exposed by an adult! If her character was on the right path, why couldn't she succeed in?

However, she was bent on taking the wrong path. With her personality, she mustn't be allowed to come back to Qiao's house!

Xiao Qiao raised her head. Her eyes glared at Qiao Xiu Zhi and said word by word, "One day, you will regret what you said today!"

After speaking, she turned and left.

Qiao Hong Xia widened her eyes in fright. A shiver run through her body.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she couldn't believe such vicious gazes and words came from a seven-year-old child!

Lin Hui walked out of the next room. Frowning, she spoke, "In the future, let Da Qiao stay away from her. Da Qiao is so innocent."

Qiao Xiu Zhi glanced at her belly, which had grown another notch, and said, "You have to be careful about that pair of mother and daughter. Once old Second settle down in that side, your family will move to the town to live. The farther away from them two, the better!"

Lin Hui nodded: "Don't worry, Mom. I will stay away from them."

Xiao Qiao returned to the thatched hut with a flushing face.

As soon as Fang Xiao Juan saw her, she immediately latched onto her and asked, "Why did Qiao Family call you over? Did they change their minds and let you go back to Qiao's house?"

Xiao Qiao gritted her teeth and replied, "What go back to Qiao's house! They cut ties with me!"

Fang Xiao Juan was stunned for a moment, "What? Cut off ties! What about the pork and eggs that were agreed before? Are they not going to give it?"

There were still seven or eight days before Meng Hong Guang's arrival. Even if they meet, she will definitely not be able to go back to the city with him immediately. So she had to rely on Qiao Family to nourish herself.

Now that the meat in her mouth was gone, how can she be calm?

Xiao Qiao's hand was hurt from her pinching. She tried hard to get out of her grasp, but it was useless: "Yes, it's gone, it's gone! Let go, you're hurting me!"

The humiliation at Qiao's house today made Xiao Qiao explode. She could no longer be as calm as before.

Fang Xiao Juan swung a slap over: "Dead girl, so what if you are reborn? I've been your mother for two lifetimes. If you dare to speak to me in such a tone, see if I won't kill you!"

Xiao Qiao's face tilted from the slap. Her cheeks were aching.

Fire raged within her as she vowed that one day, she would kill everyone in Qiao Family, including Fang Xiao Juan!

...

At Qiao Zhen Jun's side, he went to the food factory to report for duty.

Although his position was only a gatekeeper and a temporary worker, he could not take his post immediately.

First, he must be familiar with all the locations and layouts of the factory, as well as the main directors in the factory. He must be able to recite the rules and regulations of the factory. After he was familiar with these, he can start working.

Of course, these weren't difficult. Just need to put in some mental effort.

Qiao Zhen Jun cherished this job very much. So his attitude was very sincere. Whatever, his mentor told him to do, he did.

Everyone thought that he came through the backdoor and his attitude would definitely be very arrogant. Like he would look down on them, doorkeeper. Surprisingly, he seem to be humble. He brought a lot of food for everyone upon his arrival.

As the saying goes, it was hard to bite the hands that feed you. Everyone ate his food and the sense of rejection and unfamiliarity toward him melt away a lot. Plus everyone had a carefree temperament and will not engage in mind fight. So they quickly accepted him.

Although Qiao Zhen Jun's mouth wasn't sweet and his brain wasn't as flexible as his fifth younger brother, he was willing to work. Everyone dislike night-shift, so he took the initiative to change shifts with everyone. Seeing him so easy-to-get-along, their attitude toward him was nicer and nicer.

In this way, Qiao Zhen Jun quickly stabilized in the factory.

There was was some people talking about his backdoor and background. Some people even asked him in his face. He didn't say anything about the relationship between Shen Family and the factory manager. Only answered that he bought this position with money.

Nowadays, using money to exchange for a employment was an often occurrence. No one was surprised.

At this response, everyone were very curious, how a young man from the countryside could spend so much money to buy a job.

On the day off, Qiao Zhen Jun went to Shen's house with the hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.

Shen Family were shocked when they found out that he brought a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.

This kind of thing can't be bought with money. They didn't expect that Qiao Family would be able to take out two big pieces in one go!

Shen Family felt that this gift was very valuable. Because old Mister Shen wasn't in good health, they accepted this gift after deliberation.

In their heart, they plan to use other things to return Qiao Family's thoughtfulness in the future.

Toward this relative, Shen Family was now more and more satisfied from top to bottom. When they heard that they had accepted a little country girl as their goddaughter, many people had said sour words.

The most talked about was that these country people were the most greedy. They will definitely stick to Shen Family like leech in the future and they will regret it later!

Shen Family didn't take this to heart at the time. At this moment, they were even more grateful for their decision. Although they gave Qiao Family a lot of things, Qiao Family never took advantage of them.

Just for this point, this relative was worth staying interacting with.

...

On this day, Qiao Hong Xia was returned from picking vegetables in her private plot. She was halfway there, when she was stopped by Wang Yan Sheng.

Wang Yan Sheng looked at her with self-conscious expression: "Hong Xia, can you come with me for a moment? I have something to tell you."

Qiao Hong Xia halted for a moment. A strange feeling surged in her heart. After thinking about it, she followed: "Okay."

For fear of being seen by the people in the village, Wang Yan Sheng walked in front, while Qiao Hong Xia followed behind not far or near.

Wang Yan Sheng stopped when he reached halfway up the mountain.

There were very few people here. The terrain was relatively high. Once someone comes over, they can immediately notice.

When Qiao Hong Xia saw him bring herself to this place, the strange feeling in her heart became stronger and stronger. Recalling the way he smiled at her that night, her heartbeat couldn't help speeding up again.

"What do you want to say to me?" She stopped an arm length away from him and tensely spoke.

Wang Yan Sheng's face also displayed a little nervousness. He coughed: "I am twenty-six years old this year. Just promoted to the position of head of the regiment at the end of last year. A month's salary is sixty-five yuan and seven dimes in total. On holiday season, there are other subsidy. Over the years, I have given the majority of my salary to my family. So I only saved 400 yuan. I told my family two days ago that I will only give Dad 100 yuan as living expenses every year. Any other other times, I won't send the money back."

Qiao Hong Xia's heart beat faster and stammered, "Why, why are you telling me this?"

Wang Yan Sheng stared at her with sharp eyes and solemnly stated, "Hong Xia, I want to match you."
