Qiao Jiangxin crashed into Lei Honghua like a firecracker.
Lei Honghua raised her arm, and the stick that was meant for Liu Afang's stomach missed. Liu Afang came to her senses instantly, turned her body sideways, and subconsciously stretched out her hand to protect her stomach, but the stick hit her wrist hard as she was protecting her stomach.
The shock and pain made her lose her balance and fall to the side.
"Mom." Qiao Jiangxin quickly reached out and grabbed Liu Afang.
Qiao Youfu and Qiao Youcai, who followed closely behind, were also frightened and broke out in cold sweats.
"Afang, Afang, are you okay?"
Qiao Youcai's eyes turned red. "Mom, you, Afang is pregnant, how could you lay hands on her!!!"
Lei Honghua fell to the ground holding her waist and cursing. Qiao Jiangxin rushed towards her and slapped her face with both claws. "I will beat you to death, you vicious woman. You old beast with a vicious heart. Don't think we don't know what you are thinking. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?!"
"Ahhh~, let go, Qiao Jiangxin, you little bastard with a life but no one to teach you, how dare you fight with me?"
Qiao Jiangxin rode on Lei Honghua, gritted his teeth, and slapped Lei Honghua's sagging old face twice.
Two loud slaps made his arms numb.
Lei Honghua was stunned by the beating.
Qiao Jiuwang stood at the kitchen door, veins popping out of his forehead, and roared, "What are you doing!!"
"Qiao Daya, she is your grandmother!"
Lei Honghua seemed to have just reacted at this moment. She reached out to push Qiao Jiangxin, but failed.
She covered her face and howled pitifully at Qiao Jiuwang, "Wuwuwu, old man, look at how they bully an old woman like me in private. I have been married to you for almost 30 years, raised two conscienceless beasts for you, and expanded your Qiao family. This is how you treat me when I am old, wuwuwu, if you don’t give me an explanation for what happened today, I will not live anymore, wuwuwu, I will not live anymore~"
Qiao Youfu stopped Qiao Jiuwang and explained incoherently, "Dad, no, it's not like that. It was Mom who was holding a rolling pin and wanted to hit my grandma's belly. Jiang Xin was worried about my grandma..."
Qiao Jiuwang slapped Qiao Youfu in the face, "You beast, even if you weren't born by her, she raised you all these years, and you treat an old woman like this. You dare to do this while I'm still alive. If I die, will they still have a way to survive?"
When Qiao Jiangxin saw that his grandfather didn't care at all about his uncle's explanation and even slapped his uncle against the door, all the old grudges suddenly came to his mind.
In the previous life, my uncle and father came to him with my brother in their arms, begging him. That was his own grandson, so what did he say? He said coldly, "Youcai, don't blame dad for being cruel. This is fate. We farmers can't afford it. I have more than one grandson, Jiang Mu. I can't drag the whole family into the abyss for him. It's better to bear a reputation of being cruel than to end up with nothing."
"Don't worry, your grandmother and I have already made an agreement with Jianhua and Jianguo that we will adopt a son under your name. Jiang Mu has been a sickly child since he was born, and he has always had major and minor illnesses. Even if he is cured this time, what about the next time?
My dear, you have to think clearly. This is a bottomless pit. If you spend this money on him, who can guarantee that he will get better? It would be better to keep the money and let Jianhua Jianguo give birth to a child for you and raise it well..."
Qiao Jiangxin really couldn't understand what kind of parent would say such cruel words to her own son.
If he hadn't watched me die without helping, I wouldn't have married into the Chen family in such a hurry, Jiang Mu wouldn't have been delayed in treatment and lost his chance, my father wouldn't have collapsed, and my uncle wouldn't have done the hard labor for my father and passed away at a young age.
If Lei Honghua is the executioner, then Qiao Jiuwang is the accomplice who tacitly condones Lei Honghua.
