Chapter 13: Crazy Relatives Come to Act as Matchmakers
Zhong Qiao thought about it and chose to speak frankly: "Mom, it's not that I don't miss you, but all the letters I wrote over the past year were intercepted by Xu Shaojun."
"What?" Father Zhong's eyes were blazing, his hair standing on end. "How dare this bastard! How dare he!"
After holding it in for a long time, he couldn't utter a single word. His chest was heaving violently and his face was pale. This was a typical condition that occurs when a person is extremely angry.
Mother Zhong was so angry that she was shaking, nodding and muttering, "I knew it, I knew it!"
The last sentence was pronounced with great force, as if he wanted to chew up and swallow all the grievances and hatred of the years!
"I knew Qiao Qiao wouldn't be so heartless. It must be this beast's doing, preventing us from seeing Qiao Qiao!"
Zhong Siqi said angrily, "Sister, don't worry. The next time I see him, I will beat him to a pulp."
Zhong Qiao felt both guilty and warm. He felt guilty because he was already an adult, but he had always made his family worry about him. He felt warm because it was great in this life that he had his family to support him and was no longer alone.
Zhong's father and others cursed fiercely for a while. They felt that Xu Shaojun was not a good person since the first time they met him, and even the ancestors of the Xu family and the family tree for eight generations were thoroughly dug up.
In the end, the Zhong family and others concluded that inferior genes are inferior after all!
"Fortunately, Qiao Qiao cut her losses in time. If she had lived with such a morally corrupt person, she wouldn't even know how she would die in the future!" Mother Zhong gritted her teeth.
Mr. Zhong and the others looked grave and nodded in agreement.
Xu Shaojun seems to be gentle and easy-going, but in fact he is an evil ghost in human skin. He will eat people without leaving any bones. This kind of smiling tiger is the most terrifying.
The speaker may not intend it, but the listener may take it seriously.
These words made Zhong Qiao stand there in a daze.
You don’t even know how he died?
Yes, Zhong Qiao came to his senses and laughed at himself. Wasn't he strangled to death in his previous life? His parents were so good at judging people, so why couldn't he judge people clearly back then?
Zhong Qiao felt a sour feeling in his heart and reluctantly ate half a bowl of lean meat slices. At first, he felt a slight pain in his stomach, but then the discomfort disappeared, replaced by a warm power.
After venting her anger, Mrs. Zhong stared at her daughter's face, feeling deeply moved.
In order to get her daughter back, she, who had never believed in Buddhism, ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddhist scriptures every day. She even promised that she would rather give away all her family property just to get her daughter back.
A year and a half.
The daughter was lost and found.
But God played a joke on her and gave her daughter, who was still in school, a husband and children. Not only did they have them, but they also got divorced.
If this gets out and spreads rumors, I don’t know if Qiao Qiao can bear it!
Why is my daughter's life so miserable?
The more Mrs. Zhong thought about it, the sadder she became, and she wiped away her tears secretly.
Zhong Qiao caught a glimpse of it and said in a hoarse voice, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"fine."
Mother Zhong was afraid that she would worry, so she quickly wiped it with her sleeve and forced a smile on her face again.
"Mom was just blinded by the sand, it's nothing serious."
Knock knock.
Knock knock knock.
A quick knock on the door interrupted the tenderness between mother and daughter.
It's more like knocking on the door than knocking on it.
The force was so great that it seemed to break the door, as if it would continue to beating until the door was opened.
Zhong Qiao frowned, and then he heard a harsh and sharp female voice.
"Zhiqiang! Zhiqiang! Oh, our whole family is here to visit Qiaoqiao!"
Mr. Zhong and his father looked at each other, their expressions changed slightly, and Zhong Qiao happened to see everything at that moment.
The knocking on the door was getting louder and louder.
If it is a blessing, there will be no disaster; if it is a disaster, there will be no escape.
Mr. Zhong calmed himself down, sighed deeply, and then got up to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, a fat and big-eared woman squeezed in with a smile on her face. She quickly caught sight of Zhong Qiao through the small movements that Zhong's father deliberately concealed with his body.
"Oh, this is Qiao Qiao!"
The woman exclaimed, and then she used her fat body to squeeze into the house.
Father Zhong stood in front of the door and said awkwardly, "Sister Hong, Qiao Qiao isn't well yet and can't be exposed to the wind. Why don't we wait until next time? When she's better, I'll let her visit you again!"
As he said this, he couldn't wait to close the door.
The woman felt particularly comfortable when Mr. Zhong called her "Sister Hong".
"Hey hey hey——" She was so anxious that she tried to squeeze in with her body, and her fat body was stuck in the door in a funny posture.
"Don't turn it off!" the woman exclaimed.
Zhong Zhiwei's family has become rich in Hong Kong, living a luxurious life, and has not remembered to help their relatives over the years.
Her husband lost a lot of money playing mahjong a few years ago and asked their family to borrow money. Zhong Zhiwei clearly had money, but he refused to lend her money. As a result, she was beaten and kicked by her husband! The creditors came to the door every day!
Unexpectedly, one day, the Zhong family fell into poverty and returned to this old house in Suzhou.
Alas, in the end, after all the glory, I still have to associate with people like them, and they talk to me in such a "humble" way, while their daughter got pregnant before marriage and was divorced by her in-laws.
Serves you right! What a relief!
The jealousy and resentment in my heart turned into secret joy.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so she has to come over with her daughter and make fun of them!
Zhong Hong's body was squeezed by the door, but she still grinned: "Oh, I was thinking that Qiao Qiao is back, and there are no friends of the same age in the courtyard, so I brought our Xiaohua over to chat with her! Otherwise, she would be so bored!"
"I also brought a lot of good things."
She thought of something and hurriedly raised the thing in her hand as if she were presenting a treasure.
The red plastic bag was wrapped tightly, and it was impossible to tell what was inside. As she shook it, only a few dull sounds could be heard.
Behind her was a dark and thin girl.
She was dressed up in a floral top that was not suitable for her age, paired with jeans, and had two ponytails tied with exaggerated floral ropes.
It was winter, and my legs were trembling. The cold wind blew, and my yellow and black face turned red.
Zhong Hong's eyes rolled around.
This poor boy Zhong Zhiwei was lucky enough to marry a rich and beautiful girl from Hong Kong. He also relied on his father-in-law's background and power to make his life very successful!
Although they are down and out now, they still have a college student in their family!
College students are rare these days.
She heard from the factory supervisor that if they could train a college graduate and send him to their factory, he would be a leader and his salary would be several times higher than that of ordinary workers.
If she could marry Xiaohua to Zhong Siqi, let them get married, and then use the betrothal gift to subsidize Zhong Xiang in their family, help him marry a beautiful wife, and then give him a grandson, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds!
So, today, she had to squeeze in through the Zhong family's door no matter what.
Zhong Hong's lips curled up slowly, and she suddenly shouted, "Hey, Zhiqiang, why are there bugs on you?! Let me help you brush them off."
Mr. Zhong was startled, his hands loosened, and he subconsciously looked at his clothes and shook them hard.
Bugs? Where are the bugs?
"Here, here!"
Zhong Hong stretched out her fat hands and pretended to flick around. Then, while Zhong's father was not paying attention, her fat body slipped under his armpit like a nimble fish.
"Qiao Qiao! Sister-in-law!"
By the time Zhong's father reacted, Zhong Hong had already taken a few steps and dragged Zhong Xiaohua into the bedroom.
"Oh! My poor Jojo!"
Before she even reached the bed, she started sobbing and howling.
Zhong Qiao was still eating slices of lean meat, enjoying it very much, when he was startled by the sudden shout.
After finally swallowing the lean meat in her throat, she looked over intently with oil at the corners of her mouth.
She was a very strange and fat woman.
"Qiao Qiao, tell me, why is your life so miserable?"
Zhong Hong squeezed out the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, and did not forget to look at the future son-in-law she wanted to find.
"How did you end up with such an in-law and husband? We women have such a hard life! How are you going to live with your daughter in the future?"
Finally, she found Zhong Siqi holding a child. She looked at him carefully and was so satisfied that she wanted to tie Zhong Siqi up on the spot.
Zhong Siqi hugged the child in her arms nervously.
However, Zhong Hong's gaze was always fixed on him, and there was no way to ignore it.
This hungry look made him feel like he was being stared at by a hungry wolf.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhong's faces suddenly darkened.
They have long been fed up with Zhong Hong's family.
Years ago, Zhong Hong's husband was the boss of the factory. He was popular and good at handling things.
However, he was not careful in choosing friends, and was later tricked by his bad friends into playing mahjong. He became addicted to it, and found it boring, so he borrowed money to gamble, and messed up his family!
Every year when they return to China to worship their ancestors, Zhong Hong’s husband comes to borrow money.
Zhong's mother felt sorry for her, considering she was a woman with two children to raise, so she borrowed several thousand yuan. It was all squandered by Zhong Hong's husband! Later, when the money was not repaid, she dared not borrow again. So Zhong Hong's husband asked her to come to him to borrow money shamelessly.
Even though the Zhong family was rich, money didn't come from the wind, so they politely declined.
When Zhong Hong's family couldn't borrow money, they changed their attitude and started to speak ill of them to their relatives and neighbors, acting in a sarcastic manner towards them.
If they were not related by blood and did not want to make things awkward, they would politely call her Sister Hong. They really wanted to kick this fat woman out.
Who would come to visit someone and start poking at their heart? He only says things that others don't want to hear, and he doesn't think before he speaks!
