Chapter 58: People watching the fun don't think it's too much trouble

~8 min read 1,589 words

She lay beside her daughter. "Daughter, you have a father. Although it's fake, when you come out, the children won't mock you for being a child without a father. Whether it's me or him, we are all your relatives. You have a complete family."

"Giggle, giggle, giggle."

Ling'er laughed. She turned to the side and pinched her little cheek.

"Hungry, right? Starting tomorrow, Mother will steam egg custard for you?"

"Puff, puff."

Qiao Mai got up to mix milk for her, fed her until she was full, and accompanied her to play. She had been lazy for the past two days and hadn't managed the space much.

People always have days when they are tired and don't want to move. If you don't want to move, rest. Don't force yourself.

Before going to sleep, she even poured herself a glass of red wine to drink.

A beautiful day began. Yuan Jiaqi had a legitimate reason to help Qiao Mai.

After breakfast, the children fed the quails and added grass and water to the horse.

"Government officials went to the house to move the household registration in person, they dare to make trouble? As soon as the government officials left, they went to town to make trouble for that man."

That is to say, no one wanted to live with these two old ones.

The ox cart in the village made several trips to town a day. The driver that day didn't like Qiao Shicheng very much. Hearing Qiao Mai's news, he went back to the village and told the villagers.

"Should have killed her at home early on."

No matter how they scolded, Qiao Mai couldn't hear it. There is an old saying, good news doesn't go out, bad news travels a thousand miles.

"I went to Tianshui Town to pull work this morning and heard this news. My heart was so happy."

"No matter how the old people toss, he was determined to marry in. Seeing that the boat was already formed, his father and mother had no choice but to ask for one hundred taels of silver to sever this kinship, and even wrote a kinship severance letter."

Tian Yaozu was even more angry. When he got home, he told this to Tian Laoshi and his wife.

"I heard he was determined to marry into the Qiao family. Qiao Shi is Shopkeeper Lu's person. Shopkeeper Lu felt sorry for Qiao Shi, found the Town Chief to come forward, and moved that man's household registration to Qiao Shi's house."

It's too inhuman, and too not a thing. The two sisters-in-law were hoping to separate the family in their hearts.

"Knowing this, I'm afraid I'll be angry to death. The daughter can earn money, the son-in-law can earn money. If he had a father's appearance, didn't chill his daughter's heart, and didn't sever this kinship, with his daughter's kind character, even beggars could be helped, would the maternal family be a thing?"

It felt like life couldn't be lived. Fortunately, the maternal family treated them well; otherwise, they really wouldn't have a way to live.

"It's not, but his father and mother aren't things, worse than Qiao Shicheng. They take their son as a cash cow, only picking daughters from wealthy families to marry, and after tricking the dowry home, they wear people down."

"Buy, buy, give me six oranges, a bowl of red dates, twenty quail eggs."

"Look at the things Qiao Shicheng's family did. A good daughter, not stolen or raised by a man to be divorced, was kicked out of the child by the in-laws. The maternal family didn't care about this, chilled the daughter's heart, and actually had the face to find the daughter to settle accounts. Seeing the daughter bought by others, dressed well, and having monthly wages, they wanted to suck the daughter's blood and eat the daughter's meat. For ten taels of silver, they severed the kinship with the daughter.

Bah, shameless things. After severing the kinship, they still went to find the daughter's trouble. He couldn't see his daughter living a little better. Deserved to be beaten. Now, there is a man who can read and write,

bringing a boy, marrying into her house. The future life will be better and better. Angry him to death, that old thing. I tell you all, others don't know, but I know."

Thinking of Qiao Mai's days in the Tian family before, they all felt they were too inhuman before, helping the mother-in-law bully her. The bitterness of the third sister-in-law was finally tasted by them.

"Saying anything is too late. This rotten street goods, just know she isn't a good one. In such a short time, she found another man."

"Government officials came once and moved them away. People have divorce letters, we can't block the government officials, right?"

"Then why let him go this time?"

"Later, later?"

"Haha, not one family, not entering one door. These two bitter mandarin ducks have fate."

"Wow, such a man is rare. If his father and mother supplied him to study, he would have achieved something long ago, right?"

This time, Teacher Lin became a joke in town, a real slap in the face.

No one is supporting the old, let them live alone, and serve them when they can't move.

"Naturally, I don't know. If I knew, could I let him go? I also heard it from the bookstore manager unintentionally."

"What? She actually married in?"

"Cheap woman, she is Sanzhuang's person alive, and Sanzhuang's ghost dead. How can she marry in, how can she."

Qiao Shicheng was lying on the kang, twenty big boards, almost costing his old life. Others weren't much better.

"Look, didn't say anything, this is protecting."

"Qiao Shicheng doesn't know yet, right?"

"What? Can't? I'm not a big girl, can I have a second marriage? Just about enough."

The mother-in-law didn't dare to beat them, but pointed at the mulberry and scolded the locust tree every day. Her husband was also burying his head in work and didn't manage much.

"Really angry to death. She is a cheap woman stepped under our family's feet, how can she remarry, how can she."

If it were two days ago, he could still find Yuan Jiaqi, carry grace and report, and let him not teach Qiao Shi's children. But now, what reason did he have to say?

The two are husband and wife, teaching their own children, it's a matter of course, who can manage?

Qiao Mai's stall was booming, but in the school, Teacher Lin was so angry he couldn't let out his breath.

"Yaozu, let's not care about her. You study hard. When you have achievements in the future, you can step her under your feet just the same."

"He can also do it, but you didn't see it."

"Your husband is really poisonous, found such a capable wife, go to sleep at night and steal joy."

They could imagine that if Qiao Shi wasn't at home to let the mother-in-law vent, they didn't know how they would be bullied.

"Buy or not buy things? If not, let others buy."

Qiao Mai's matter of marrying in, if it could spread to the Tian family, it could also spread to the Qiao family.

"Then does his family know about him copying books to earn money?"

Secretly, the two often revealed to outsiders intentionally or unintentionally that they shouldn't marry into the Tian family, and shouldn't deal with the Tian family.

"My god, the man's father and mother won't turn the sky upside down? With that virtue."

"Isn't her household registration in our house?"

"Hurry up, hurry up."

People watching the fun don't think it's too much trouble. Some people even specifically sent the news over, just wanting to watch the fun.

"Lady Qiao, you are really fierce, you recruited a husband without a sound?"

Looking at the grandson's crazy appearance, Tian Laoshi and his wife both felt he wasn't normal.

Qiao Mai's stall was booming again.

"Right, no appearance of an elder at all, now it's deserved."

The driver complained to the villagers, and his heart felt better. Some villagers couldn't wait to run to the Qiao family and learned the driver's words one by one.

Qiao Lvshi's heart was full of regret, Qiao Shicheng's heart wasn't a taste.

How they were uncomfortable, no one knew. Self-inflicted, can't live. Uncomfortable is a small matter, not losing their lives is good.

"Isn't her household registration at our place?"

"Speak quickly, speak quickly."

Those who watch the excitement are never afraid of trouble; some people even go out of their way to deliver news just to see the spectacle.

"Lady Qiao, you are truly formidable. You recruited a husband without making a sound?"

Watching their grandson's frantic behavior, Tian Laoshi and his wife both felt he had become abnormal.

Qiao Mai's stall became a hit once again.

"Exactly, she has no manners of an elder at all. Now that things are like this, she deserves it."

The driver complained to the villagers, feeling a bit better afterward, and some villagers couldn't wait to run to the Qiao residence to repeat the driver's words in full detail.

Qiao Lvshi felt such regret in her heart, and Qiao Shicheng felt a bitter taste in his mouth after hearing it.

No one knew how miserable they were; one reaps what one sows. Being miserable is a small matter; it's a good thing they didn't lose their lives.
