Chapter 86: 86

Chapter 86

In mid-July, it was Lin Hui's mom, Wang Qiu Ying's birthday. Lin Family didn't hold a big banquet. Only prepared two tables of dishes and told her daughter to bring her children back to eat together.

Early in the morning, Lin Hui asked Qiao Zhen Jun to carry the prepared fabric and twenty or so eggs. Then she lead Da Qiao and little Dong Lin to maternal home.

Da Qiao supported her mom. Her eyes fell on the round and big belly and she couldn't help curiously asking, "Mom, how long will it take for the brothers to come out?"

Little Dong Lin swung his short legs and followed closely. He parroted like a lackey: "Yeah, when will they come out? The candies I've saved is going to melt!"

Because Da Qiao said that she would prepare gifts for her unborn brothers, the other children in the family readily followed suit and all got ready. The few little dumplings also joined in the fun.

Little Yi Ming liked to draw very much. So he chose to draw. Little Dong Lin originally wanted to show his younger brothers a set of "Kung Fu", but was told that his younger brothers wouldn't understand. So he could only save the candies to give to his younger brothers.

It was difficult for everyone to let him down again and couldn't tell him his younger brothers can't eat his candy.

Lin Hui watched the two lively and lovely children. The corners of her mouth curled up: "Soon. It's been more than seven months now. Younger siblings will come out in a month or so."

Da Qiao raised her head and smiled sweetly: "That's wonderful! Mom, I have prepared gifts for Younger Brothers. Just waiting for them to come out!"

"Elder Sister Da Qiao, what gift did you prepare. Can you tell me?" Little Dong Lin curiously asked.

Da Qiao shook her head: "No, it's a secret. You'll know when Younger Brothers come out."

Little Dong Lin: He fell out of favor before Younger Brothers were born. What will he do in the future?

Halfway there, they suddenly encountered Fang Xiao Juan.

Fang Xiao Juan had been waiting for Meng Hong Guang's letter. It should have arrived last week, but the letter hadn't come. She was ill at ease; fearing that Meng Hong Guang will break up with her.

Until yesterday, the letter still hadn't arrived. She couldn't wait any more. So she went to the post office in person. Unexpectedly, she really waited for its arrival. Meng Hong Guang's letter had just arrived and the postman hadn't deliver it yet. She collected the letter right there and then.

Because she didn't recognize words, she was in a hurry to go back and get Xiao Qiao read the letter to her. To her surprise, she bumped into Qiao Zhen Jun's family.

She saw how happy their family was. This scene stabbed her in the eye. But when she thought that she would soon be able to become an official's wife in the city, she snorted coldly and walked away from them with her chin up.

Lin Hui and Qiao Zhen Jun looked at each other. The latter said, "Let's go. Dad and Mom should be waiting for us."

Lin Hui nodded. She didn't take this matter to heart.

As soon as they entered Lin's house, Lin Hui's Eldest Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law immediately welcomed them in. Lin Family's children gathered around when they saw Da Qiao.

"Younger Sister Da Qiao, you are finally here. We are all waiting for you!"

"Yeah, we have prepared a lot of delicious food for you. Come in and eat!"

"Younger Sister Da Qiao is so beautiful. Skin is as white as tofu."

"I don't think tofu is as white and tender as Younger Sister Da Qiao!"

Everyone in the production team said that the feng shui of Lin Family was top-notch. Wang Qiu Ying gave birth to five sons in a row. Three of the five sons were married. And those three all gave birth to son. It made those who couldn't give birth to son green with envy.

But from young to old of Lin Family, they all wanted a delicate and sweet girl more. So, as soon as Da Qiao came over, it immediately became a little fairy entering the monk temple. Lin Family's group of boys found it extremely rare.

Little Dong Lin's red lips became a line and he shouted in a baby voice, "Elder Cousin Brother, Second Cousin Brother, Third Cousin Brother, don't you like me?"

Lin Family's Eldest Cousin Brother turned around and pinched his little face: "Of course I like you."

Look how perfunctory this attitude was!

Little Dong Lin pouted even deeper: "You guys go away. This is my elder sister. Mine!"

Lin Family's mischievous boys poked his cheeks: "You are right. Da Qiao is your elder sister, but she is also our younger sister!"

Little Dong Lin instantly became a little puffer fish.

Lin Hui felt relieved when she saw Lin Family's kids liked Da Qiao very much.

Eldest Sister-in-law supported her as she enviously remarked, "Everyone says it's hard to be a stepmother. If there is a stepdaughter as delicate and cute as Da Qiao, I would also like to be a stepmother!"

When Second Sister-in-law Lin heard this, she laughed and said, "Then Eldest Sister-in-law, hurry up and get a divorce with Eldest Brother!"

Everyone: "..."

Some people may not have any malicious intentions themselves, but whenever they opened their mouth, they either offended people or immediately killed the conversation.

Second Sister-in-law Lin was such a person.

Fortunately, Eldest Sister-in-law Lin had long been accustomed to her character and didn't mind it.

Lin Hui was at a pretty late stage of her pregnancy. On top of that, married out daughter was a guest when she returned to her maternal home. So this time, the few sister-in-laws didn't ask her to help. While Qiao Zhen Jun was dragged by the few brother-in-laws to chop wood.

Wang Qiu Ying saw that the few daughter-in-laws were busy in the kitchen and hurriedly pulled her daughter into her own room. In order not to make people suspect anything, she didn't close the door and window. Just her action was very sneakily.

She made sure that no one was outside before she crawled under the bed, ripped open a brick on the ground, and took out a wooden box from inside.

Wang Qiu Ying's mouth was so tight that even Lin Hui didn't know that her mom hid such a wooden box under the bed: "Mom, what are you hiding? It couldn't be gold?"

She was just joking, but when her mom opened the wooden box and took out the contents, she was stunned. It was really gold!

It wasn't a gold bar or a gold ring. It was a round gold ball at the size of the little finger. It should have been hidden for many years.

There weren't many golden balls. Only eight in total. If it was converted into money, it would be a lot of money.

Lin Hui was shocked: "Mom, where did you get these things?"

Wang Qiu Ying spoke: "These are what your grandma left to me. Your grandma used to be the personal maid of an official's daughter. The two of them grew up together and had a good relationship. Later, when the world changed. The official family wanted to escape. Your grandma didn't want to follow, so the official's daughter gave some gold to your grandma. When I got married, your grandma split some gold with me."

Lin Hui knew that Grandma used to be a maid. But it was the first time she heard about the gold: "Mom, why haven't you exchange the gold after so many years?"

Wang Qiu Ying rolled her eyes at her daughter: "What haven't? Otherwise, where do you think the things in this family come from? It's just Mom want to tell you that no matter how much a woman loves her husband and children, she should leave a way out for herself. With all this private fund, I have nothing to be of even if your dad want to divorce me!"

Lin Hui was amused by her mom's behavior: "If my dad knew that you hid so much gold just to guard against him, he would probably be pissed off!"

Wang Qiu Ying slapped her daughter: "Take it seriously. You married twice before, I was afraid that you did this out oof impulse. So I didn't give you the gold. Now it seems that Qiao Family treats you very well. I can rest assured to give the gold to you."

Of course, it was impossible to give everything to Lin Hui. She had five sons and four-five grandchildren. Of course, she can't leave nothing behind. She took two small golden balls out to give her daughter.

Lin Hui didn't want it. She pushed the little golden balls back and said, "Mom, keep these things for yourself. I don't need them."

She had been married twice. Her family had prepared a lot of dowry for her. As a person, she must know how to be grateful and contented. She can no longer take the things from the family. Otherwise, her few sister-in-laws will be displeased when they know about it.

Wang Qiu Ying didn't allow her to refuse and stuff the little golden balls back to her: "Take it! Zhen Jun's work has been messed up be another. You can take the gold and exchange it for money. Or directly gift it to someone and use connections. See if you can get the job back."

It went without saying that she, the mother-in-law, was delighted and proud that her son-in-law was able to work as an employee in the town. Unexpectedly, he was driven back after only a few months. Recently, many people seen it as a joke in the production team.

There were also some people who came to her deliberately took a jab. They all got retorted back by her one by one. Still, she couldn't swallow it.

Of course, it wasn't all about fighting for this face. But if Son-in-law can become an employee, her daughter and unborn grandson will have security in the future. What's more, she only had this one daughter. It went without saying she hoped that her life will get better and better.

Lin Hui held the little golden ball in her hand. Her eyes were a little sour. She hugged her mom and expressed, "Mom, thank you. It's great to be your daughter!"

Wang Qiu Ying patted her daughter twice before gently pushing her away, "Okay, don't be mushy. Quickly put the things away. Don't let your sister-in-laws see it."

Lin Hui no longer hesitate. In the future, when the family situation improved, she would find opportunities to be filial to her mom.

Lin Family's daughter-in-laws were diligent and swift people. Soon, they prepared two tables of good dishes. One for adults and one for children.

Lin Family's daughter-in-laws' cooking skills can't compare with Xue Chuan's. Actually, it wasn't as delicious as Da Qiao's cooking. Still, Lin Family was full of sincerity. There were three meat dishes on each table. Everyone ate it with relish.

Fang Xiao Juan took the letter and returned to the thatched hut. Seeing Xiao Qiao feeding the chickens, she quickly called her in: "Come here and read this letter for me."

As soon as Xiao Qiao heard her mom got the letter, she threw the things inside and wiped her hands clean before unfolding the letter.

Fang Xiao Juan's heart was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Once Xiao Qiao opened the letter, she urged, "What did it say? Did your Uncle Meng say anything about cut ties with that calamity?"

Xiao Qiao frowned and responded, "Uncle Meng said, since your ties have cut off, then leave it. But... he made another request."

"What request?"

"He want me to cut ties with Qiao Family." After Xiao Qiao said this, there was an indescribable discomfort in her heart.

When Fang Xiao Juan heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief. She raised her eyes to watch Xiao Qiao's reaction. Raising her eyebrows, she said, "Why? You don't want to?"

Xiao Qiao pursed her lips and replied, "It's not a question of willingness or not. I don't think it's necessary."

She didn't like Qiao Family very much. Qiao Family had said in front of her that they wanted her to sever the relationship, but as long as they didn't write a tie-severance letter, Qiao Family still had the obligation to support her.

What happened to Wang Xin Sheng last time told her not to look at the beauty in front of her, but to leave a retreat for herself. So she didn't want to cut off her escape route, Qiao Family.

If something unexpected happens in Hu City, or if Meng Hong Guang is proved to be unreliable afterwards, she can still go back to Qiao's house and get them to support herself. But once a tie-severance letter, this retreat will be gone.

Therefore, she was reluctant in her heart. However, it wasn't easy to say it in front of her mom.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking! You don't want to cut off this backup road, Qiao Family! You treat Qiao Family as a backup road, but would Qiao Family treat you as their child? Do you think if something really happened, they will go all the way to Hu City for you? Don't daydream!"

Fang Xiao Juan pierced Xiao Qiao's daydreams with a sharp jab.

She was worried that Meng Hong Guang would ask her to kidnap Da Qiao and so on. Now she heard that it was just cutting off the ties between Xiao Qiao and Qiao Family, there was no problem at all.

Seeing that Xiao Qiao was unwilling at this time, she felt displeased at once.

This child was really sneaky. While wanting to follow her to the city to enjoy happiness, she want to keep Qiao Family as a backup at the same time. She will reap all the benefits!

Xiao Qiao pursed her lips and remained silent.

Fang Xiao Juan could put down an ultimatum, "If you don't want to cut ties with Qiao Family, then you can stay in the production team. I will go to Hu City alone!"

When Xiao Qiao heard this, she knew that she had no other choice: "I know. Since this is the case, then I will cut off the relationship with Qiao family."

No better day than today. Fang Xiao Juan was worried that Xiao Qiao would do something wrong, so she took her to Qiao's house on the spot.

Halfway there, they happened to bump into Lin Hui's group who had returned from her maternal house.

Lin Hui sighed her heart how 'enemies meet on narrow road'.

Da Qiao glanced at her mom without saying a word. The group prepared to walk away as if they didn't see them.

Unexpectedly, Fang Xiao Juan halted them: "Qiao Zhen Jun, stop right there!"

Qiao Zhen Jun didn't turn around. He kept supporting Lin Hui forward.

Fang Xiao Juan gritted her teeth angrily and loudly yelled, "Are you deaf? I told you to stop. Didn't you hear? I want Xiao Qiao to cut ties with you and Qiao family!"

Qiao Zhen Jun stopped this time.

Da Qiao was also shocked by her mom's words.

She didn't understand what severing the relationship was before. After Elder Brother Huo Chi explained it to her in detail and gave her many examples, she understood.

After understanding it, she felt a little depressed. Since her family treated her so well, she left this sorrow behind her.

She didn't expect Younger Sister to cut ties with her family!

Nearby villagers heard the commotion outside and immediately ran over to watch.

Qiao Zhen Jun didn't look at Fang Xiao Juan. His eyes were on Xiao Qiao. He solemnly uttered: "Xiao Qiao, you are smart since you young. I think you should understand what it means to cut off the relationship. Do you really want to cut off ties with Qiao Family?"

The last time his parents had warned Xiao Qiao in private. He only found out afterwards. He felt very helpless after knowing. But as long as he didn't really cut off the relationship, Xiao Qiao was still his child in his heart.

Everyone was shocked and excited when they heard Qiao Zhen Jun's words.

"What? Are you going to cut off ties again? Last time it was Da Qiao. This time it Is Xiao Qiao. Tsk tsk tsk, your Qiao Family is really interesting!"

"Ain't that right? Within these ten miles and eight towns, no one cuts off ties so frequently!"

"I can't find a family with so many children divorced!"

In everyone's eyes, even though Qiao Family latched on high branch and the family was rich, they were still weirdo!

A family of five children and three divorced. Old Second Qiao was even more bizarre. A pair of twin daughters, each cut off ties with their parents. Tsk tsk tsk, this gossip was enough for them to chew fr a long time!

Xiao Qiao lowered her head and explained, "Uncle Meng from Hu City said if I want to be his daughter, I must cut ties with Qiao Family."

At this point, Xiao Qiao still wanted to leave a way out for herself as much as possible. She wanted everyone to know that she was forced to cut off the relationship.

Sure enough, everyone heard her words and a discussion emerged. Majority expressed they could understand why Meng Hong Guang made such a request.

"It's understandable why Educated Youth Meng do this. No one wants to raise children for others!"

"That's right. A lot of effort devoted in raising them up, only to be taken back in by Qiao Family when she grow up. Wouldn't it be a waste of effort?"

Some people curled their lips and sneered, "Then you can not go to Hu City. Wouldn't it be better to stay at Qiao's house?"

Xiao Qiao looked up at her dad with teary eyes before lowering her head again. She appeared aggrieved and pitiful.

Fang Xiao Juan snorted: "You think she doesn't want to. Qiao Family doesn't welcome Xiao Qiao. Last time, they told Xiao Qiao straight up not to step into Qiao's house in the future. Do you think this is something a grandmother can do?"

"Ah, did Xiu Zhi really say that?" Everyone was shocked.

Fang Xiao Juan harrumphed again: "Would I lie to you? They clearly agreed before..."

Fang Xiao Juan wanted to make Qiao Family's promise to give meat and eggs three times a month, but later went back on their word known to everyone, but was stopped by Xiao Qiao.

"Mom, don't say it anymore!" Xiao Qiao said with tears in her eyes, "It's because I'm not as likeable as Elder Sister. It's my fault that Grandmother doesn't like me. Don't blame Grandmother."

"Oh, this child is so sensible and obedient. Seeing her like this makes my heart sour."

"Qiao Xiu Zhi used to blame Fang Xiao Juan for being biased. Isn't she biased too? She will give everything good to Da Qiao, while she is so strict with Xiao Qiao. She will regret it in the future!"

Qiao Zhen Min didn't want to listen to other people talking about his parents. He asked Xiao Qiao again, "I'll ask you again, do you really want to cut ties with Qiao Family?"

"Dad, you have Auntie Hui, Elder Sister, and other people by your side. But Mom only have me by her side. So I want to accompany Mom. I'm sorry Dad..."

As she said that, the tears that were in her eyes now rolled down at the same time as the last word fell.

If this acting skills were in the modern times, she was truly as a proper actress award's contestant!

"In that case, let's go to the production team to write a tie-severance letter now." Qiao Zhen Jun sighed. Then he turned to Da Qiao and told, "Accompany Mom home first."

Da Qiao glanced at her biological mother and younger sister. She nodded and said softly, "I see."

Lin Hui swept a glance at Qiao Zhen Jun and whispered, "The children and I are at home waiting for you to come back."

When Qiao Zhenjun heard this, the depression in his heart dissipated a lot: "I know. Quickly go back with the children."

Fang Xiao Juan took in the sight of the two of them being lovey-dovey. Her body was full of discomfort. She said sharply: "Go home if you want to be lovey-dovey. In front of so many people, you are shameless. I feel ashamed for you!"

The crowd laughed.

Lin Hui's face flushed red.

Qiao Zhen Jun raised his head and fiercely glared at her. Just now, he still felt a little pity for Xiao Qiao. Now it had completely dissipated.

He strode toward the production team. Under the witness of the few cadres in the production team, they wrote four tie-severance letters to sever the father-daughter relationship like last time.

Fang Xiao Juan took the tie-severance letter and left without looking back.

This matter had once again become the topic during the production team's meal. Qiao Family's limelight was unparalleled for a while.

Since old woman Fang's youngest grandson died, her mental state had deteriorated a lot. She wanted her daughter to take a grandson to Hu City before, but now she didn't want to.

A few days later, Fang Xiao Juan took the letter of introduction issued by the community and Xiao Qiao. Under the envious eyes of everyone, she officially set foot on the road to Hu City.

The villagers were very envious, especially those widows. They all fantasized that one day they can find a powerful man like Fang Xiao Juan to remarry.

For Qiao Family, their ears became cleaner and their body became a lot relaxed as soon as Fang Xiao Juan's mother and daughter left.

...

Less than five days after Fang Xiao Juan left, Tian Family and Qiu Family met with mishap.

On the day of the mishap, Tian Jian Ming and Mother Tian were discussing Tian Jian Ming's marriage at Qiu's house. These days, it wasn't easy to buy the four major wedding gift. Most people can't even buy one of them.

But for Qiu Xin Yong, this matter wasn't a matter at all. With a wave of his hand, he quickly bought it for his nephew.

Mother Tian couldn't keep a lid on her delight: "Jian Ming, you must thank your maternal uncle for your incident this time. In the future, you have to be filial to your maternal uncle, do you hear me?"

Tian Jian Ming smiling replied: "Mom, I know without you saying. You might not like to hear this, but Maternal Uncle is more closer to me than you and Dad in my heart!"

When Qiu Xin Yong heard what his nephew said, he laughed with satisfaction.

At this moment, there was a loud noise from outside. The door burst open. Sounds of panicked footsteps came in from outside.

"This... what happened?" Tian Jian Ming's grandma was so frightened that she almost had a heart attack.

Mother Tian hurried over and hugged her mother. She comforted: "Mom, don't worry. With Second Younger Brother here, it will be taken care of!"

Qiu Xin Yong stood up with a dark face. He was about to go to see which b*stard dared to come to his house when he saw a group of people running in. Without saying a word, they stepped forward and grabbed him.

The man who grabbed him was wearing a green suit uniform with a gun on his body. He was from the armed forces!

Qiu Xin Yong's heart rapidly beated: "You...what are you doing?"

Seeing these people, he knew something wasn't right.

A man who looked like a military official walked in. Looking down at him, he spoke: "Qiu Xin Yong, the municipal committee has received the report material about you. We had sent someone to investigate and prove that all the report material is true! Someone come. Search inside and outside of the house cleanly!"

The female relatives in the house screamed in fright. Tian Jian Ming's grandma fainted.

When these people grabbed his maternal uncle, Tian Jian Ming quickly shrank to a corner. His heart beat like thunder.
