"I……"
Qiao Xiaoling was so angry at Bai Ying's words that her eyes turned red, but she had nothing to refute Bai Ying.
What can she say?
She said she didn't mean what she said before. Was she trying to harm Bai Ying? She would be scolded to death! It's simply that she shot herself in the foot when she said that!
Seeing her daughter being wronged, Bai Meicui quickly said to Bai Ying in a haughty manner, "Who are you? How can you compare to our Xiaoling? You're just an abandoned baby, someone no one wants. We in the Bai family raised you until you're this old. It's ok for you to be ungrateful, but you even dare to bully the Bai family!"
Bai Ying wasn't irritated by Bai Meicui's words. Instead, she argued, "Isn't Qiao Xiaoling's last name Qiao? When did she become a member of the Bai family? You can't just stay at your mother's house and eat for a few years and then really become the head of the Bai family, right?"
"No! Don't talk nonsense!"
Bai Meicui's expression changed immediately upon hearing this. She quickly turned to Old Lady Bai, observing her expression as she humbly said, "Mother, could you please not marry our Xiaoling to a fool? Besides Bai Ying, our Bai family has other granddaughters."
As he said this, he glanced meaningfully at Bai Qiaolan who was following Bai Ying.
Bai Qiaolan immediately noticed Bai Meicui's ill intentions and loudly demanded, "Aunt, what do you mean? You don't want to push your daughter into the fire pit, so you push me in. How can you be such an elder?"
After scolding Bai Meicui, Bai Qiaolan quickly looked at Old Lady Bai and expressed her thoughts, "Grandma, I don't want to get married so soon, and I don't want to marry Cai Dabao!"
"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean? Is my son Bao that bad?" Seeing her son being so despised, Cai's mother couldn't stand it anymore. She looked at Old Lady Bai and urged, "Hurry up! If you don't return the betrothal money, then find someone quickly. Which granddaughter do you want to marry my son?"
"this……"
Old Mrs. Bai frowned and was also in trouble.
Apart from Bai Ying, she has two granddaughters. Apart from Bai Qiaolan, the eldest granddaughter, there is the daughter of the third brother. The third brother is very opinionated and has not had a close relationship with her since childhood. He will definitely not let her decide the marriage of his granddaughter.
The only person she can make decisions for is her granddaughter Qiao Xiaoling. Logically, granddaughters should be closer to her, but Bai Qiaolan is not as caring as Qiao Xiaoling. She can't get anything out of her even if she tries to beat her with three sticks. It makes her angry just looking at her!
Old Mrs. Bai gritted her teeth and said, "Then let my eldest granddaughter marry into your family!"
"No! I don't want it!" Bai Qiaolan refused loudly, and at the same time quickly looked at her parents, "Hurry up and say something for me!"
"Mother..." Bai Maoxiao looked at Old Lady Bai in embarrassment, "Didn't you say you would find a good husband for Qiaolan? Could you please not marry Qiaolan to that idiot from the Cai family?"
Old Lady Bai was a little reluctant at first, but when she heard her eldest son dared to go against her, she immediately lost her temper, "Whoever I say to marry, must marry! Bai Qiaolan is old enough, it's time for her to get married. Why not wait for a day? Today is the day!"
Hearing this, Qiao Xiaoling was extremely proud, as if she had completely forgotten that she was almost sold out by Old Lady Bai. She immediately took Old Lady Bai's arm and said affectionately, "Grandma, you are so kind to me. When I marry an official in the future, I will be filial to you."
"Okay, okay, Xiaoling, you are the one who knows how to be grateful." Old Mrs. Bai's heart was immediately relieved.
Cai's mother didn't care about those things. Without saying a word, she reached out to grab Bai Qiaolan, "Did you hear that? Your grandma has already promised you to my family. Come home with me!"
Bai Qiaolan tried to break free from Cai's mother's pull, and looked at her parents pleadingly, "Dad, Mom, little brother!"
Bai Maoxiao looked away, not daring to look at Bai Qiaolan again, and even her mother Luo Juan did the same.
Although Bai Dashan didn't look away, he confidently asked Old Lady Bai for money, "Grandma, since it's my sister getting married, her betrothal gift should also be shared by my family. When will you give me my share?"
“…”
Bai Qiaolan's heart sank.
The relative she cared about the most actually didn't care about her life or death at all!
What kind of family is the Cai family? The husband is a fool, and the mother-in-law is not someone to be trifled with. It's a complete hellhole. If you jump in, you'll never be able to climb out!
Bai Qiaolan was so shocked by this bolt from the blue that she was at a loss and for a moment she even forgot to break free from Cai's mother's pull.
“…”
Bai Ying on the side just frowned.
She wasn't surprised by this result. In her previous life, the marriage the Bai family had chosen for Bai Qiaolan wasn't much better. Conscience? Not many of the Bai family had this.
but……
Seeing Bai Qiaolan about to be dragged away by Cai's mother, Bai Ying raised her hand and slapped Cai's mother's hand away, pulling Bai Qiaolan back behind her. "Qiaolan is my cousin. You can't take her away without my permission."
Cai's mother was immediately furious. She pointed at Bai Ying with her hands on her hips and cursed, "You little bastard, are you deliberately going against me? I'm not bothering you, and you still dare to bother me?"
"Old lady, I advise you to calm down. You're acting right in front of me." Zhao Dayong chose to stand beside Bai Ying and support her. "The girl has already said she doesn't want to marry you, and you're still trying to pull her away. How is this any different from forcibly abducting a girl?"
Cai's mother was not convinced and said, "We have already paid the betrothal gift!"
Bai Ying said the same thing, "Whoever accepted your betrothal gift should be the one to handle the after-sales service."
“…Old Mrs. Bai!” Cai’s mother had no choice but to go find Old Mrs. Bai, who was obviously easier to bully than Bai Ying and Zhao Dayong.
In the end, Old Lady Bai was unable to resist Cai's mother's entanglement and could only push Qiao Xiaoling away from her side. At the same time, she did not forget to comfort her: "Xiaoling, you are not young anymore. Grandma knows that you are a sensible and good child. You should also help share the burden when the family is in trouble."
After she finished speaking, she leaned close to Qiao Xiaoling's ear and whispered emphatically, "Xiaoling, you should get some rest. That idiot has been taken away, and there's only this old woman at home. She's so old and doesn't have many years left to live. If you can wait her out until she dies, won't you be able to come back?"
After I come back, I can find another husband.
Old Mrs. Bai had a very good plan. She wanted to exchange her granddaughter for two betrothal gifts. It's not easy to come across such a good thing.
"Grandma!"
Qiao Xiaoling was still unwilling to give up and wanted to fight for it again.
However, Cai's mother did not give Qiao Xiaoling this opportunity. She quickly asked several old women around her to come together and pull Qiao Xiaoling over and drag her away.
"Xiaoling!" Bai Meicui also shouted worriedly.
However, no matter how unwilling the mother and daughter were, Qiao Xiaoling was finally dragged away by Cai's mother and others. The group took her directly away from the Bai family and returned to Gouweiba Village in a mighty manner.
Seeing Qiao Xiaoling being taken away by Cai's mother and her group of evil people, Bai Ying did not feel any pity in her heart. She was not the Leshan Giant Buddha, and she could not bear to see the person who had hurt her suffer retribution.
Yes, Qiao Xiaoling had no power or opportunity to bully her in this life, but in her previous life, she had found many opportunities to ridicule and humiliate her.
Bai Ying always believed that even if the events encountered were different, an adult's character had already been determined.
In her previous understanding, Qiao Xiaoling was an extremely selfish and immoral villain!
