When Feng Sufen heard Lu Guofu mention Ma, her face darkened.

"This old lady Ma is also like that. We are neighbors in the same courtyard. Why is she so cruel?"

"Huazi, such a big and strong young man, was knocked unconscious by her."

"...Huazi hasn't woken up yet. The doctor said we need to prevent brain congestion!"

"After hitting someone, the old lady went into hiding."

"Fortunately, the first and second uncles were fair and went to the Qiao family, forcing Ma to pay the money. They also caught the hens she raised and gave them to our Huazi to nourish his body."

If someone hadn't helped me get justice, I would have received five dollars in medical expenses and an old hen.

It was impossible for Feng Sufen to sit at the door and stew chicken soup at this moment.

She had already run to the front yard and blocked the Qiao family's house, crying and making a fuss, demanding that Ma "pay with her life".

Even so, Feng Sufen was worried until she saw her son wake up.

"If Huazi doesn't wake up, I'll go find that little old lady again!"

Feng Sufen was angry and sullen. She also began to dislike Gu Xiaoni, who was capable and liked by her son.

Huazi’s father was right, Gu Xiaoni was not alone, she had a child.

As long as there are children, they will be inseparable from the old couple of the Qiao family.

With Ma's aggressive and mean nature, it's really not worth getting involved with her.

Plop!

As the couple was talking, they heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.

"Huazi!"

Feng Sufen's heart skipped a beat. She quickly stood up and rushed into the house in two or three steps.

Lu Guofu also hurriedly picked up the crutch at hand.

However, Lu Guofu was too anxious and failed to grab the crutch, and ended up falling on his butt.

Lu Guofu grimaced in pain, but still endured it and got up.

While frantically leaning on his crutches, Lu Guofu shouted inside, "Huazi's mother, what happened to Huazi?"

Then, he heard Feng Sufen's voice crying with joy, "Huazi is awake! Woohoo, Huazi is finally awake!"

…

Ma huddled in the room, sitting on her medium-sized feet, like a frightened old quail.

She pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the noise outside.

"This Lu Xinhua looks big and strong, but why is he so weak?"

"I just slapped him and he fainted?"

"... Is this bastard pretending to be sick? Is he trying to blackmail me?"

Ma was panicking and subconsciously ignored the detail that Lu Xinhua had hit his head hard after being beaten.

He paid five dollars for nothing, and even the old hen he raised that laid eggs was taken away.

Ma was in so much pain that her heart was bleeding.

But she was more afraid.

If Lu Xinhua in the backyard doesn't wake up, the Lu couple will definitely make trouble for him.

"They, they won't force me to pay for Lu Xinhua's life, right?"

"I, I didn't do anything! He was weak and couldn't even take a slap. Do you think you're blaming me?"

Ma was lost in thought and felt restless.

In the main room, old man Qiao was sitting at the eight-immortals table with a majestic posture, and in front of him stood an attentive young man.

"Uncle San, I'm not saying anything wrong, but those people just bullied Brother Jianguo and left!"

"It's just like in our country. Sons are the pillars of the family."

"No one dares to bully a family with a son."

"...Tsk, it's just a bump from hitting my head against the wall. It can't be worth five dollars."

"They are obviously bullying you and my aunt because we are two elderly people."

The young man's name is Qiao Tongsuo, and he is the third son of Old Man Qiao's second brother.

He is twenty years old this year and is quite tall, about 182 cm.

He looks energetic, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is clean.

Qiao Tongsuo is the third child, and he has brothers above and below him.

Therefore, I am not taken seriously by my parents.

The young man has his own plans for success, but since his parents are partial to him, he has to rely on himself.

In the countryside, Qiao Tongsuo barely finished junior high school and was ready to go to the city to find some work.

At this time, the only son of Old Man Qiao, the most promising man in the Qiao family, died. Qiao Tongsuo knew that his chance had come.

Of course, Qiao Tongsuo was not the only one who came to Old Man Qiao to show his courtesy.

But, Qiao Tongsuo has an advantage——

First, he is young and not married yet!

It is entirely possible to follow the wishes of the old couple of the Qiao family and marry a wife chosen by old man Qiao.

Second, he is the third child, and like old man Qiao, he is a child who is neither good nor bad and is not valued by his parents.

Qiao Tongsuo's relationship with his parents is also rather weak.

In the future, there is no need to worry about him becoming an ungrateful person for his biological parents.

Third, Old Man Qiao owes some favors to Qiao Tongsuo.

Qiao Tongsuo was able to go to school, and most of the tuition was paid by Old Man Qiao.

Perhaps, Old Man Qiao gave money to Qiao Tongsuo more as a way of showing off, to prove to his relatives in his hometown that he was living the best life.

But no matter what, Qiao Tongsuo was able to finish junior high school with this money.

This is a favor.

Both Old Man Qiao and Qiao Tongsuo have this understanding.

Therefore, Old Man Qiao is more inclined towards his nephew Qiao Tongsuo...
