Chapter 302: with translation of chapter title

302. Chapter 302: Qiao Er, what's wrong with your face?

"Dad, Mom, I've thought of a name, Qiao Xingyu. What do you think? If you don't like it I'll keep thinking; if it's fine we'll use it."

Qiao Sheng looked at Qiao Hushui and said.

He listened as she finished.

Qiao Hushui recited the name, and after finishing said, "Wife, I think it's pretty good; shall we just call him that?"

"Hmm!"

Lan Yue Niang had no objection.

Without waiting for them to say anything.

Lan Yue Niang continued, "The formal name is set, a nickname must also be given; I want to give him the nickname Huwá, what do you think?"

"That's fine."

Qiao Hushui was the first to voice his opinion.

Qiao Sheng immediately said, "Mother, I also think that's fine."

A nickname chosen by one's own mother must be supported.

Qiao Xuehua and the others had no objection, so Qiao Xingyu's nickname was settled.

Xiao Shitou and the others were very fond of Qiao Xingyu.

Every day after school they would come to Qiao Hushui's place to see him, staying until Qiao Sheng came to fetch them, so they ended up having dinner at Qiao Hushui's every night.

Na Lan Ruo Lan and the others, upon learning this, were very pleased for Qiao Hushui and immediately sent someone to deliver gifts.

Cheng Xianglan and the others felt the same.

A full‑moon banquet was held on a grand scale.

Holding it in the town would cost a lot.

Qiao Hushui, to save money, held it in the village.

That day.

The villagers arrived early, but Zhang Qiao's family came slowly.

Qiao Sheng immediately noticed a wound on Zhang Qiao's face.

While she was hanging the decorations.

Qiao Sheng called her aside and said, "Qiao Er, what's wrong with your face?"

He saw her reaction.

Zhang Lan forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, just accidentally bumped into something…"

They have been friends for many years.

She actually didn't tell her the truth.

Qiao Sheng frowned and said, "Qiao Er, do you think I would believe that? The wound on your face looks like it was beaten, not a bump."

She really can't be fooled at all.

Zhang Lan was silent for a moment, then said, "Fine, I'll tell you the truth: Sun Shuisheng hit me, but it's normal for a couple to have some friction. He wasn't trying to take advantage…"

"What exactly happened?"

Qiao Sheng pulled Zhang Lan to a secluded spot and asked.

Zhang Lan didn't speak for a long while.

Qiao Sheng, getting impatient, said, "Now you speak up."

Zhang Lan pressed her lips and said, "Before marrying me, Sun Shuisheng liked a woman; that woman died and entrusted her child to him, asking him to help care for…"

"What!"

Qiao Sheng was surprised; he truly hadn't expected Sun Shuisheng to have liked someone else.

Zhang Lan wiped away the tears that fell and began to speak slowly.

"It's quite surprising, right? When I first learned it, I was also surprised, and then I asked him, 'Since you liked her, why didn't you marry her?'"

"Sun Shuisheng said her family rejected them because they were poor. Meanwhile, our family didn't reject him for being poor. I was in a terrible mood then, so I told him, 'You have to raise yourself; I can't help raise the child.'"

"In the end, he still said he would raise everything, I got angry and fought with him. Even though a few days have passed, the wounds on both of us haven't fully healed."

"What kind of nonsense is this!"

Qiao Sheng stared at Zhang Lan and asked, "How many children did that woman entrust to Sun Shuisheng? Does her husband's family have anyone?"

"Two: a son and a daughter; everyone in her husband's family is dead."

"Her natal family is still around, but each one ignores her."

Zhang Lan replied.

Qiao Sheng was speechless; how could Sun Shuisheng think, treating his own wife like that for someone else's children!
