Chapter 19: Why don't you blame Grandfather for getting you pregnant with him?

Impossible, you say it's impossible…

Qiao Sheng didn't want to just let it go.

Qiao Hushui, however, cut her off: "Mother, I agree."

Qiao Sheng: "……"

Are you stupid, what are you thinking!

Lan Yue Niang sensed Qiao Sheng was angry, she pulled her aside and said: "Lianhua, don't blame your father, no matter what they say, your grandparents are still his family…"

Without letting Qiao Sheng speak.

Lan Yue Niang again said: "Being able to split the family, Mother is already satisfied; I had worried we couldn't even manage to split."

"The old house is for you…"

Gao Shi's voice came from the side.

Their house is an old house, but the old house is like a dangerous building—who could live there?

The Village Head walked in from outside: "Gao Shi, you're making a fuss—who could live in that house? If we're splitting the family, do it fairly!"

He had actually already prepared to go home; it was Xiao Shitou who ran after him and called him back.

Qiao Sheng opened her lips and said: "Village Head Grandfather is right—if we're splitting the family, we should do it fairly. Grandmother, the way you treat my father and them, could it be that my father isn't your biological son?"

Gao Shi glared at Qiao Sheng and snapped angrily: "You little wretch, what nonsense are you spouting!"

She really wanted to slap her.

She suppressed her displeasure.

Qiao Sheng replied in a loud voice: "Am I talking nonsense for having such a suspicion? If you say you don't welcome us, I can understand. But you don't even welcome my father—is that normal? In this household, he only eats a bit better than we do, and compared to my uncles' families, he's actually somewhat worse…"

"You've even learned to sow discord…"

Gao Shi raised her hand, wanting to hit Qiao Sheng.

Qiao Hushui stepped in front of Qiao Sheng: "Mother, did Lianhua get it wrong? I also want to ask this—why do you treat me like this…"

Gao Shi blurted it out without thinking.

"You want to know, huh? Well, I'll tell you! When I gave birth to you, I hemorrhaged heavily and nearly died—do you think I could treat you well?"

Qiao Hushui didn't know any of this; upon learning the truth, his head drooped.

Qiao Sheng chimed in: "You hemorrhaged giving birth to my father and nearly died—can that be blamed on my father? Why don't you blame Grandfather for getting you pregnant with him!"

"You, you've gone against heaven, you—you dare bring up Grandfather like that!"

Gao Shi snarled with a ferocious face.

This is so infuriating.

Will she anger me to death?

Qiao Sheng said calmly: "I don't mean to disrespect Grandfather; I'm just stating the facts. My father back then was just a clueless child—blaming him is utterly unreasonable. As his daughter, shouldn't I speak up for him?"

Her words had just fallen.

A middle-aged woman stepped forward and said: "Indeed, the incident back then isn't Qiao Hushui's fault; my mother-in-law said you ate too much, causing the fetus to grow too large, making the birth difficult."

Her mother-in-law was precisely the person who delivered Gao Shi back then.

Gao Shi choked up, momentarily at a loss for words—she felt like scratching the middle-aged woman's face.

Upon learning this, Qiao Hushui felt a bit better inside.

The Village Head was present.

Gao Shi couldn't even think of being unfair; the family had a total of ten mu of fields and six mu of land, and she gave three mu of fields and two mu of land to Qiao Hushui.

"Mother, what about us!"

Bai Zhaodi also wanted to split the household; their branch had only one scholar, while Qiao Heshui's branch had two, so she certainly didn't want to help them raise their sons.

"Right, and us too!"

Qiao Shanshui then said.

Qiao Heshui grew anxious: "Elder brother, elder sister-in-law, third brother is unfilial—do you want to follow his example?"
