"Qiaoqiao?" Yang Hongying was taken aback before saying, "I just arrived at the store today, and Qiaoqiao went out. She hasn't come back yet!"

"Sister-in-law, I heard you and Qiaoqiao got divorced? Beixiao, don't blame me for being nosy, but no matter what, Qiaoqiao is still carrying your child!"

How could a child be born without a father...?

"Thank you, sister-in-law. I'll go find Qiaoqiao first. If she comes back, please give me a call." Huo Beixiao said as he got into the car.

He sent Ou Gang back to the cement factory first, then drove to the duck products store, then to the two rooms that Yang Qiaoqiao had initially bought for Zhou Yang and his sister, and then to the garment factory, but he didn't see Yang Qiaoqiao anywhere.

"Zhou Yang, where's Qiao Qiao?" Huo Beixiao frowned and stopped Zhou Yang, who was busy in the factory.

When Zhou Yang saw Huo Beixiao, he thought of Yang Qiaoqiao, who had been working tirelessly day and night while heavily pregnant, to rescue him.

Yet they still get criticized by Zhu Dong, Guo Tao, and Tong Xuejiao.

What's even more infuriating is that they spread the word, causing others who didn't know the truth to also criticize Sister Qiao.

They were all on Huo Beixiao's side, and the mistakes they made were the same as the mistakes Huo Beixiao made!

Zhou Yang, with a straight face and no expression, said, "How would I know? Sister Qiao Qiao doesn't report to me where she goes or what she does."

"Get out of my way! So many people in the factory are waiting for me to assign them work! If you delay our delivery date, will you compensate us?"

"Tell me where Qiaoqiao is!" Huo Beixiao stared at Zhou Yang with his deep eyes, his aura terrifying.

Zhou Yang frowned. "I told you I don't know. Huo Beixiao, were you locked up in the detention center for a few days? Did it make you stupid?"

Huo Beixiao stared into Zhou Yang's eyes, and Zhou Yang spoke with a righteous indignation.

It doesn't seem like they're lying or deliberately hiding something.

Since Zhou Yang doesn't know where Qiao Qiao is, there's no need for him to waste any more time here.

Huo Beixiao then drove to Yangjia Village.

In Yangjia Village, the gate to the Yang family's courtyard was locked, and the lock was covered in dust.

Clearly, no one has been back here for some time.

Huo Beixiao drove straight back to the provincial capital and went to the small villa he had built himself.

Not only was Yang Qiaoqiao nowhere to be seen in the villa, but all of her belongings were also gone.

Huo Beixiao instantly felt a dull pain in his heart, as if half of his heart had been ripped out.

Even on the day he and Yang Qiaoqiao got their divorce certificate, he never imagined they would actually separate.

He thought that Qiaoqiao was just temporarily separated from him. Even though they weren't officially husband and wife, they still had two children.

He thought that Qiaoqiao's divorce from him was just a temporary measure.

He never imagined that Qiaoqiao was really going to leave him.

Huo Beixiao, a grown man who never sheds tears but bled and sweated, couldn't help but have tears welling up in his eyes at this moment.

He stood in the somewhat empty room for a while, then turned and left.

Then I went directly to the duck products shop at the train station to find Yang Jianguo.

Yang Jianguo also had a cold face when he saw him.

No matter how he asked, Yang Jianguo wouldn't even look at him, only saying three words: "I don't know."

Huo Beixiao's heart sank to the bottom.

"Brother, is it because Qiaoqiao won't let you tell me where she is?" Huo Beixiao asked in a somewhat heavy voice.

This time, Yang Jianguo did not answer him, but remained silent.

"Sister Dani, raising ducks here is definitely more suitable than in Yangjia Village. The meat produced is also of better quality."

At this moment, Yang Qiaoqiao was in Qinjiacun with Yang Dani, looking at the ducks in the duck farm that she had invested in and built for Yang Dani.

Yang Dani smiled broadly and said proudly, "There's a river here in Qinjiacun! The ducks can move around more freely, and their meat will be firmer."

In addition, we raise them semi-free-range; these ducks also go up the mountain to eat snails, grasshoppers, and other wild animals, making their meat taste better than ducks that are simply fed feed and grain.

Yang Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "You and Brother Qin are both good at raising ducks and manage them well, which is why the ducks grow well."

"In the countryside, who doesn't know how to raise a couple of chickens or ducks?"

Yang Dani smiled憨厚ly.

After leaving the duck farm, Yang Qiaoqiao took the initiative to tell Yang Dani about Qin Haiyang.

"Qin Haiyang caused two such big accidents, he's probably going to get shot. Your mother-in-law and the others might be coming back soon, Sister Dani, what are you going to do?"

In her past life, she fought against Niu Chunhua and Qin Tieniu for a lifetime.

Even before her business had grown significantly, Niu Chunhua used her position as a mother-in-law to intimidate people.

Once her business grew, Niu Chunhua wanted her to make money for her family, but also wanted to bully her, so she turned into a ruthless and unyielding person.

That old woman is really hard to deal with.

Speaking of Niu Chunhua, Yang Dani's face darkened, and her tone became somewhat forceful, "I've already spoken with Qin Erniu. When his mother comes back, I'll have him go and ask her to divide the family property."

"If we don't separate, I'll divorce him!"

Upon hearing Yang Dani's words, Yang Qiaoqiao knew that the Qin family's affairs were not something that could be resolved simply by dividing the family property.

But when she asked Yang Dani that question, she didn't mean to meddle in other people's family affairs.

She nodded and said, "Sister Dani, I'm telling you this so that you can prepare as soon as possible. No matter how you plan to handle things at home, I hope it won't affect the duck farm and that we can ensure the supply of ducks to our store."

Yang Dani nodded immediately, "Qiaoqiao, don't worry, I understand."

Yang Qiaoqiao invested a total of 20,000 yuan in this duck farm, from renting the land from the brigade to building duck houses, releasing ducklings, vaccinating the ducks, and purchasing feed.

Yang Qiaoqiao doesn't hold any shares; she only pays half the price for each duck she delivers, deducting the other half to repay her 20,000 yuan investment.

Once she pays back the 20,000 yuan, the duck farm will be entirely her own property.

This duck farm is her lifeline now, and she will definitely protect it even without Yang Qiaoqiao saying so.

She'll fight anyone who tries to touch this duck farm.

When Yang Qiaoqiao left Qin Family Village, she couldn't help but look back one last time.

This is the place where she experienced the most suffering in her past life.

Now that Qin Haiyang has been brought to justice, she can say that she has completely left this place and will never repeat the mistakes of her past life.

On the way back to Yun County from Qin Family Village, Lin Xiaohui looked at Yang Qiaoqiao's calm expression and couldn't help but ask, "Qiaoqiao, are you really not planning to meet Huo Beixiao?"

No matter what, he's still the father of the child in your belly...

Lin Xiaohui still wanted to try to persuade her again.

She felt that if Huo Beixiao wasn't someone she could entrust her life to, then her daughter would get a divorce.

But Huo Beixiao didn't do anything wrong from beginning to end.

The daughter divorced him and refused to see him again; they were in the wrong.
