It was also possible that it was because their parents doted on their second son, Qiao Zhuang, so much that he became such a person. Then he brought up his sons to be as bad-tempered as him.
Ever since Qiao Qiang was young, he could not stand the fact that Qiao Zhuang had grown up to be so lawless and he would always ask their parents to discipline Qiao Zhuang. Therefore, in Qiao Zhuang’s heart, his elder brother Qiao Qiang was a bad person. He felt that Qiao Qiang disciplined him since he was young because Qiao Qiang did not like him.
“What grudge do we have? I’ve never caused trouble for your family,” Qiao Qiang said as he stared at Qiao Fu.
Qiao Fu had been a bully in the village since he was young and always followed behind Qiao Zhuang while showing off. His scumbag behavior could be said to be even worse than Qiao Zhuang.
!!
He silently told himself that he was not afraid of this old fellow Qiao Qiang at all! If he did not succeed today, he probably would not be able to live in this village in the future and might even go to jail.
“If not for your granddaughter, I won’t be without a wife and kid! I want to kill your granddaughter, but since she’s not around, I’ll kill you!” Qiao Fu had never thought that the reasons for all this were because of his own cowardice and incompetence, Qiao Zhuang’s tyrannical greed and Wang Qin’s bad intentions.
He only wanted to push all the blame to Qiao Mei, an outsider. Qiao Mei clearly did not do anything wrong, and even helped his wife and daughter to settle down elsewhere, but Qiao Fu did not appreciate it at all.
Qiao Fu took up a sharp piece of stone and pressed forward step by step. Qiao Qiang slowly retreated. When he reached the mountain road, he started to escape into the mountain with all his might, with Qiao Fu following closely behind him.
Although Qiao Qiang had been through hundreds of battles, he was already old and his stamina was naturally inferior to the younger Qiao Fu. Soon, he could not run anymore.
Qiao Fu played with the stone smugly and said, “Hmph, haven’t you fought in many battles? Why are you tired after running a few steps? Run quickly. Perhaps you can still leave this place alive.”
This was a hero who was already in his twilight years. Qiao Qiang had to admit that he was old and was no longer a match for the younger generation. The only thing he was glad about now was that he did not let Qiao Mei stay behind today. Otherwise, Qiao Mei would be the one to suffer.
Qiao Fu gripped the stone in his hand tightly and walked towards Qiao Qiang with a fierce expression. Qiao Qiang retreated repeatedly and tripped over a branch before falling under a big tree. As he fell, he knocked his ribs against a big rock beside the tree.
“I should actually call you uncle. Don’t worry, if you die, I’ll clean up your courtyard for you. You don’t have to worry anymore. As long as you agree to give me your house after you die, I can let Qiao Mei off,” Qiao Fu said greedily with a smile.
“You want my house? I’ve already given my house to Qiao Mei. You can forget about it. The ownership of the house has already been transferred to Qiao Mei. I did this to guard against your family!” Qiao Qiang looked at Qiao Fu mockingly and put on a victorious smile.
Qiao Fu was so exasperated that he smashed the stone at Qiao Qiang’s head. However, he did not use enough strength and Qiao Qiang also managed to dodge most of it. The sharp part of the stone made a cut on Qiao Qiang’s forehead and blood kept gushing out.
Even though Qiao Qiang was injured, and as the blood ran down the left side of his face and his eyes were gradually covered in a layer of bright red, Qiao Qiang continued to stare straight at Qiao Fu. He was not afraid of death at all and was not afraid that Qiao Fu would kill him. Victory and defeat were commonplace in war. Even if he died today, it would not be a big deal.
However, he was only worried about Qiao Mei. He had not yet managed to inform Xia Zhe to bring Qiao Mei back to the capital quickly. If he died, Qiao Mei would be bullied by Qiao Zhuang and the others.
“Since I can’t get the house, then you don’t even think about getting out alive! I’ll kill Qiao Mei later and let the two of you go on your way together! No… Qiao Mei is pregnant with your great-grandchildren. I hear that she’s having two babies. They can forget about staying alive too,” Qiao Fu said.
“If I die, you can forget about having a good life! If you dare to touch Qiao Mei! I won’t let you off when I die and become a ghost!” Qiao Qiang roared fiercely.
That voice was like the angry roar of a demon, causing the birds in the forest to flee in all directions. Qiao Fu hesitated for a moment as he raised the stone to deliver the final blow to Qiao Qiang.
He had underestimated how intimidating a “demon” who had gone to the battlefield and killed countless people could be.
