They also said that Qiao Zhiqing's pregnancy was a little unstable and the doctor said that she could not be stimulated, otherwise it would be dangerous if the fetus was disturbed.

Liu Mei stopped walking.

That day, she had only one thought in her mind: she must not cause trouble for Qingqing anymore.

So Liu Mei finally returned to the Qiao family and left calmly with the Ning family's old man.

She knew that even if she didn't go looking for her daughter, as long as she disappeared, those bastards in the Qiao family, especially the eldest and fourth sons, would still cause trouble for Qingqing.

After all, that's what happened last time.

And every time the Qiao brothers went there, they would make Qingqing angry and furious.

In the past, it wasn’t a big deal to get angry, but now it’s different. Qingqing is pregnant, so I can’t get angry.

When they arrived at the county town, the Ning family's old man drove her directly to the Ning family, where she was slapped several times by Ning Suxiang's father, leaving her face swollen.

This is the Ning couple venting their anger for their daughter.

Because her face was swollen, Ning's family didn't allow her to go out, locked her in a small house, and only gave her water to drink every day.

This went on for three days. When she was too hungry to have any strength left, the Ning family wrapped her in a quilt and helped her out of the door.

She heard the Ning family tell others that she was sick, so Ning Suxiang specially took her sick mother-in-law to the county town for treatment.

Afterwards, the Ning family brought her to Shi Lanlan.

Here, Ning Suxiang could torture her more unscrupulously.

Ning Suxiang would burn her chest with cigarette butts, and slap her hard, cursing as she slapped her, "How dare you mess with me, a mute? Do you know how many people have died in my hands? Do you know what our family does?"

Liu Mei thought, I don’t know what you do, I only know that your child is not that idiot Qiao Shan’s!

Yes, she knew.

Seeing that she was a mute and had fallen into their hands, the Ning family probably didn't want to let her go back alive, so they did not hesitate to tell her some secrets.

As for Shi Lanlan, Liu Mei had long since given up any expectations of her.

Because she had seen it with her own eyes, Shi Lanlan was ridden on by the old man of the Ning family, who strangled her neck tightly and forced her to make sounds that excited him.

From that moment on, Liu Mei knew that Shi Lanlan was just a plaything of the old man of the Ning family.

She has no say in front of the Ning family's old man, and there is no difference between her and herself.

Since there is no difference, why would Liu Mei even look at Shi Lanlan?

At this moment, Shi Lanlan asked her if she saw Qingqing killing Shi Wang with her own eyes?

Liu Mei's answer was to open her eyes and spit at her disgusting face!

Thanks to the torture of this group of people, she caught a cold, and the old phlegm that had accumulated in her throat for many days was now all given to this wolf with lopsided eyes!

Shi Lanlan was so disgusted that she screamed. She angrily kicked Liu Mei several times in the heart, making it difficult for her to breathe.

When Zhao Chujian heard the noise and rushed into the room, what he saw was Liu Mei curled up in a ball, holding her chest.

As for Shi Lanlan, he just glanced at her and ignored her.

Zhao Chujian said sullenly, "Take Comrade Liu Mei away."

…

In the afternoon, Zhou Xuemei rode her bicycle to visit her daughter.

Not long after, someone came to invite Qiao Qingqing to the captain's house.

Lu Heng came back last night, and the team leader not only granted Lu Heng a day off, but also gave Qiao Qingqing, the technical consultant of the logistics department, a day off.

So Qiao Qingqing didn't go out today.

When Xiao Shitou came over, the family of three was having lunch.

Hearing the knock on the door, Shi Meiyun decisively hid in the room.

Only then did Lu Heng go over and open the door.

Seeing that the person standing outside was Grandpa Shi Hanqing's grandson Xiao Shitou, Lu Heng's stern expression softened a little.

As soon as Xiao Shitou saw him, he raised his hand and saluted, and Lu Heng also returned a military salute.

After saluting, Little Stone shouted, "Report to Platoon Leader Lu, Jianbin's sister-in-law said she wanted to invite Zhiqing Qiao to dinner, and she said she brought back plums from the county town."

Lu Heng patted his head and said, "Tuo, I understand."

He waved to Xiao Shitou and took him into the house.

"Is it Little Stone? Come here quickly."

Qiao Qingqing picked up the boiled eggs on the table and stuffed one into Xiao Shitou's mouth.

Her family had a lot of eggs, so naturally Mother Lu was not stingy and would cook two eggs for her every day.

Qiao Qingqing ate one in the morning and wanted to heat it up for lunch, but Mother Lu had fried three dishes, so she didn’t need an egg.

But eggs are so precious, how could Little Stone dare to take them?

But there was no way he could refuse an adult, so Little Shitou held the still warm egg in both hands and gave Qiao Qingqing a shy smile.

"Thank you, Qiao Zhiqing."

Qiao Qingqing smiled and said, "You're welcome."

She whispered a few more words to Lu Heng, and Lu Heng nodded.

Lu Heng took ten eggs and picked two bunches of vegetables and spread them on the basket to cover the eggs underneath.

Hand the basket to Little Stone and let him take it home.

Little Stone subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Qiao Zhiqing, only to see Qiao Zhiqing saying gently, "Go, Little Stone, remember to bring the basket back to me."

Xiao Shitou took the basket. This was not the first time that Qiao Zhiqing gave him something.

There was always something hidden under the basket, so his eyes would become hot after he took the basket.

"Qiao Zhiqing, I didn't come here to get your help..."

Little Stone said hesitantly.

Qiao Qingqing held her lower back and said casually, "Don't think too much, kid. Just take it. I'm counting on your grandfather to teach me how to fish."

When Little Stone heard this, he said hurriedly, "When I grow up, I will go fishing for you!"

"Well, then you should learn it now. When you have learned it, come and fish for me." Qiao Qingqing looked at him with a smile.

Little Stone nodded repeatedly and left happily.

When Lu Heng came back after bolting the door, his father-in-law was talking to Qingqing.

"That child is pitiful too. His grandmother passed away a few years ago, and now only his grandfather is left to take care of him and his sister..."

Qiao Qingqing sighed, "Yes, Xiao Shitou's grandmother is gone, and Uncle Shi is busy going out to sea and working in the fields. Xiao Shitou is only this young, and he has to learn to take care of his sister. I heard from Aunt Xiumei that the brother and sister have also started to learn to grow vegetables."

Shi Hanqing's old wife was ill and passed away at the beginning of the year. His family was poor and had no money to hold a funeral, so they simply wrapped her in a straw mat and buried her.

Without his grandmother, the vegetable garden at Xiao Shitou's home became abandoned, so it wasn't just Qiao Qingqing who gave things to Xiao Shitou. Other families in the village would also give the family some vegetables, sweet potatoes and the like from time to time.

The team leader also made an exception and allowed Xiao Shitou to take his sister to the fields, secretly giving them some extra work points.

Little Shitou is a grateful man, and when he doesn't have to work, he will run around the village, helping the elderly carry things, taking care of the villagers' children, or running errands and delivering messages for others like he did today.

His sister is younger, shorter and has shorter legs, so she would consciously try not to hold him back at times like this.

But she was also an extremely cute little girl.

After lunch, Qiao Qingqing came to the captain's house accompanied by Lu Heng.

Zhou Xuemei was sitting in the room. When she heard Qiao Qingqing and the captain greeting each other, she hurried out to greet them.

Obviously, she came here specifically to deliver a message to Qiao Qingqing.

Qiao Qingqing also expected it and guessed what she wanted to say.

Sure enough, after entering the room, Zhou Xuemei said that Liu Mei had been taken out.

"Her adopted daughter has a really bad temper. I don't know what kind of dispute she had with her. She spat at her and kicked her cruelly a few times, all in the heart. Liu Mei fainted after arriving at the police station. Lao Zhao sent her to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor said that Liu Mei's body was covered with injuries! Those kicks even broke two of her ribs!"

As Zhou Xuemei spoke, Qiao Qingqing's eyes became increasingly gloomy.

Shi Lanlan also has the guts to do that?!

In past and present lives, Liu Mei has always been very sincere to Shi Lanlan. Is Shi Lanlan planning to learn from her and repay Yang Ni with evil?

But Shi Lanlan didn't even think about what kind of life she lived in the Shi family, and what kind of life Shi Lanlan lived in the Qiao family!

Seeing her uncertain expression, Zhou Xuemei asked worriedly, "Old Zhao asked us to ask you, do you want to contact the Qiao family to go to the hospital to pick her up or make other arrangements? Once Liu Mei is hospitalized, it will probably cost a lot of money. He is not sure whether Shi Lanlan is willing to pay for it. He is also afraid that if Shi Lanlan takes over, Comrade Liu Mei will be in danger again."

Zhao Chujian went to pick someone up not out of duty, so he could not afford Liu Mei's medical expenses.

To be honest, Zhao Chujian has no such obligation, and he is not a person with excessive kindness.

Asking Qiao Qingqing now means waiting for Qiao Qingqing to make a decision.

If you want to save Liu Mei, then Qiao Qingqing will pay for it and send Liu Mei to Heyu Village.

If you don't want to care, then contact the Qiao family or Shi Lanlan.

Qiao Qingqing was silent for a moment, then said, "Please tell Captain Zhao, Aunt Zhou, that I will pay for Comrade Liu Mei's treatment, but it must be kept confidential. At the same time, ask Captain Zhao to contact the Qiao family and tell the men in the Qiao family what happened to Comrade Liu Mei, and lie that they need to pay for the treatment. If the Qiao family is willing to pay, please ask Comrade Zhao to accept it and then find a chance to secretly give the money to Comrade Liu Mei."

"If the Qiao family is unwilling to pay, or is unwilling to fall out with Shi Lanlan and Ning Suxiang for Comrade Liu Mei, then please ask Captain Zhao to find a way to reveal the news to Ning Rong and say that the Qiao family's eldest brother had already discovered that Ning Suxiang's child was not his own."

Although Zhou Xuemei didn't understand why she did this, she still agreed.

Only Lu Heng could probably guess her intention.

His lover wants to use a knife to teach the unfilial and unrighteous boss of the Qiao family a lesson!
