Chapter 209: Who are you calling a dead girl, you damned old hag!

"Simmei!"

Qiao Lanhua saw Qiao Xuehua squatting on the ground grabbing her head, more excited than her own father, she hurriedly pulled her up.

Her own father must be feeling awful right now, yet she's still like this.

Isn't this adding trouble to her own father's heart?

If her own mother heard this, what would she think in her heart?

"Dad, giving birth to this child was no easy feat for Mom; she almost lost her life. Take good care of her, take good care of the little sister, and I'll handle the rest."

Qiao Sheng finished speaking and handed the little sister in his arms to Qiao Hushui.

Qiao Hushui nodded, took the child, and walked toward the room; although it had been cleaned up, the inside was still filled with a strong smell of blood.

He knew Qiao Sheng wasn't lying to him; his wife had truly suffered a great misfortune this time.

"Wife, I'm sorry…"

Lan Yue Niang had lost too much blood and was now asleep; she didn't hear his apology, but if she had, she would surely say that it was she who should apologize.

She had borne him so many children, yet none were sons.

If it were any other man, he would have long since divorced her.

After Qiao Hushui went inside, Qiao Sheng took Qiao Xuehua and the others to the side to question them; once he got a clear answer, he walked toward the courtyard gate, with Xiao Shitou and the others following him, and Qiao Xuehua and the others following after.

"Where are the people? Where did they all die?"

Gao Shi and the others were all sitting in the main hall at this time.

Suddenly they heard Qiao Sheng's shout from outside; they looked at each other, and finally all went out together.

Gao Shi glared at Qiao Sheng and said, "You dead girl, how dare you speak like that?"

"Who are you calling a dead girl, you damned old hag!"

Shi Jin retorted.

"Exactly, a dead old hag."

Shi Yun and Xiao Shitou echoed.

Shi Ren didn't speak, just stared at Gao Shi.

Gao Shi, having lived so many years, had never been scolded by such a small child; she angrily shouted, "I'm scolding my granddaughter—what's it to you little bastards?"

"Bang."

A stone struck Gao Shi's mouth.

Not only was a tooth knocked out of Gao Shi's mouth, but her mouth also bled; when she opened her mouth, blood and a tooth came out together.

"My tooth."

"Who did it? Who did it!"

Bai Zhaodi pointed at Shi Ren and said, "Mother, it's this, this little brat who did it…"

She had originally wanted to curse Shi Ren as a little bastard.

But when the words reached her lips and she saw Gao Shi's bloody mouth, she couldn't bring herself to curse.

Gao Shi sat on the ground, slapping her thigh as she wailed, "Wuwu, I don't want to live anymore; my granddaughter has brought people to bully me, this grandmother."

"You really don't want to live?"

Qiao Sheng didn't wait for Gao Shi to react, he had Qiao Xuehua fetch the kitchen knife for her.

"What are you doing, you…"

Gao Shi thought Qiao Sheng was going to chop her, and she kept backing away in fright.

Qiao Sheng hefted the kitchen knife in his hand and said, "You don't want to live, do you? I'll grant you that—look how filial I am, hearing you don't want to live, I had Simmei bring you the knife."

How could Gao Shi possibly want to die? She merely wanted to draw the villagers' attention to let them know what kind of person Qiao Sheng is.

"Get lost…"

"Get lost? I won't, unless you show me how."

Qiao Sheng no longer bothers to call Gao Shi "grandmother"; even in address he shows no courtesy.

Gao Shi ignored Qiao Sheng and continued wailing.

Her voice wasn't small.

Not long after, a crowd of villagers gathered to watch.

Seeing Qiao Sheng holding a knife, Gao Shi wailed on the ground, and everyone began to discuss.

"What's going on…"

"I don't know."

"Could it be that Gao Shi did something to provoke Lianhua into wanting to chop her with a knife?"

"How could that be? If she wanted to chop, she'd have done it already; why would she still be holding the knife?"
