Chapter 66: The Best Relatives
"What?"
The second son's wife was like a frost-bitten eggplant, huddled aside with her head drooping. When she heard these words, her eyes widened in disbelief.
"Dad, how could you do this? You knew Zhong Qiao was found, yet you still wandered around the compound with a burden."
"Our family is being criticized, and you're still trying to keep it a secret for them?"
"Do you know what people outside say about us?"
The second son’s wife’s back teeth were almost broken, and her eyes were filled with strong hatred.
"She said that our Zhong family didn't teach their daughter well, and she actually rushed to pay for him, and even said that we can't marry girls from the Zhong family!"
"I know."
Old man Zhong frowned, sighed, and told the story.
"Zhiwei sent me a message half a month ago. I wanted to wait until I got back so we could find some time to talk. But you guys, you started talking about Ah Shao right away and even wanted to drown that girl."
Old man Zhong participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea and knew the value of life. He felt helpless about his troublesome son and angry at the stupidity of his daughters-in-law.
"I'm not dead yet, old man! Did I let you do this?!"
The eldest daughter-in-law, who was the mastermind, felt a little uneasy, but she still said with her neck stiff, "Dad, Zhong Qiao has brought shame to our family, and Xiao Hua is not wrong!"
"People outside are just making fun of our girls for being paid for things, you know? I heard that Zhong Qiao is having an affair with the fishmonger Zhou Tie, a single man and a single woman, and they're having an affair."
She didn't say anything else, but it made no difference whether she had said it or not.
Zhong Hua glared at Zhong Qiao, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
"Mom, we should kick her out. We can't let such a shameful woman stay in the Zhong family!"
Both Mr. and Mrs. Zhong's expressions changed.
They don’t have their own house in Suzhou, and only this wedding room from their youth is left.
If she was kicked out, Zhong Qiao would still be in confinement after giving birth and taking care of a child. Wouldn't this be the end of her life in such a cold weather?
Zhong Shao's face turned pale, and he pleaded, "Dad, Qiao Qiao made a mistake back then, but she really changed. Besides, this matter is ultimately Xu Shaojun's fault! You can't chase Qiao Qiao away!"
When Old Man Zhong saw his beloved little daughter's eyes filled with tears, his heart immediately softened. He was about to speak when Zhong Hua suddenly interrupted him.
"You're not leaving? Then what should we do? Our family is being ridiculed and the whole compound is filled with jokes! I don't want to live under the same roof with such a fickle slut!"
These words are so harsh.
Zhong Qiao's eyebrows were twitching.
For the sake of her two elderly elders, she repeatedly tolerated these women, but these women kept swearing at her. Did they really think she was a vegetarian?
"Cousin Xiaohua."
Zhong Qiaoteng stood up and looked at Zhong Hua.
When those eyes curved, they formed a natural crescent shape. Although the smile was shallow, the voice was cold and chilling.
"You keep calling me a slut, but don't forget that I have the blood of the Zhong family flowing in my body. When you say that, aren't you just acknowledging the slander against our Zhong family outside?"
"My last name is Zhong, your last name is Zhong too, I am a slut, so what are you?"
She pretended to be distressed and smiled belatedly.
"Are you a slut too?"
"you!"
Zhong Hua always considered herself noble and different from those people who made a living from the earth. After being blocked by Zhong Qiao, she was so angry that she trembled all over.
"Zhong Qiao, how dare you say that about your sister?"
The eldest son's wife saw her precious daughter being bullied and picked up the broom next to her.
"Today, as your elder, I will teach you a lesson."
She pretended to rush over with a broom.
However, before the broom touched Zhong Qiao, Zhong Qiao caught the broom with his backhand, grabbed it, and pulled it hard, almost knocking his brother-in-law's wife to the ground.
"You, you, you."
The mother and daughter couldn't believe it.
Zhong Qiao is no longer the same person he was when he was little and could be manipulated by others!
"I'll give you some color, but don't treat yourself like a dish."
Zhong Qiao threw the broom to the ground with a terrifying tone.
"The one who hit me was an elder who loved me. I hate him as much as I love him. I admit it. Who do you think you are?"
Old Mrs. Zhong's expression, as hard as an iceberg, was moved for a moment.
"Grandpa, look at her!" Zhong Hua was at her wit's end and could only turn to Old Man Zhong for help. "She's so arrogant and unreasonable. How can she admit her mistakes and correct them?"
Old Mrs. Zhong interrupted, "You are all girls, what are you talking about all the time? If others hear this, what will happen to your future marriage?"
When this was mentioned, the three girls of the Zhong family had different expressions.
Zhong Hua from the old family was hurt by these words.
She went to a normal school and had a good partner who was well-matched with her. They were planning to get engaged at the end of the year. However, because of Zhong Qiao's incident, the other party's parents had a bad impression of her family and the marriage fell through.
She cried all night and wished she could strangle Zhong Qiao to death.
As for the pair of sisters from the second brother's family.
The older one dropped out of school early and works as a live-in nanny for a wealthy family, while the younger one is still in high school.
They are both single, so they don't mind this at all.
"grandfather."
Zhong Hua thought of her boyfriend of three years who was so determined to break up with her. He also told her that the girls in their Zhong family were fickle and not suitable to be wives.
She was devastated.
"Grandpa, do you know? It's all because of that woman Zhong Qiao!"
She pointed all the blame for the misfortune at Zhong Qiao, and before she finished speaking, tears covered her fair little face.
"It's all because of her that your eldest granddaughter's marriage was canceled!"
Old man Zhong said nothing, and knocked the old pipe in his hand on the bench again and again to knock out the ashes inside.
He had heard about Zhong Hua's matter a long time ago.
After a long while, he spoke slowly.
"Don't think I don't know what your mother is up to. You two, knowing that little Zhong Qiao has brought the child back, are all ready to chop her to pieces like an enemy."
"Is this appropriate?"
Old man Zhong raised his thin eyelids and looked at everyone present with a critical look.
"We are a family, we should be united in heart. Look at what you are like now! Someone who doesn't know you would think you are enemies!"
"And you."
Old man Zhong looked at Zhong Hua impatiently, and his main attack was indiscriminate.
"Xiao Hua, you're an adult now, can you use a little more brains? Your grandma and I both dislike the man you're engaged to."
"Did he break up with you because our Zhong family's reputation was bad? He dated you for three years and didn't want to pay a penny of the bride price, so he broke up with you. You're crying for a man like that? Are you mourning for him?"
Zhong Hua was still crying loudly with his mouth wide open. He had planned to pretend to be aggrieved after Old Man Zhong finished speaking, but he never expected to be scolded.
"Grandpa, you."
Zhong Hua was speechless for a long time and could only curl his lips in grievance.
"Grandpa, you are partial. You have been partial to Zhong Qiao since childhood!"
As soon as Old Man Zhong heard this, he knew that the little girl didn't listen to his words at all. He was speechless and didn't want to waste a word with her.
"Alright, isn't he just a calculating, petty-minded man? Just look for him again. Grandpa is busy with business. Take your brothers and sisters out."
Zhong Hua was angry but dared not say anything, so she could only take her brothers and sisters out with hatred, and before leaving, she did not forget to bump into Zhong Qiao's arm.
Old man Zhong's plan was very clear and concise, and Zhong Qiao was stunned when he heard it.
My grandpa.
This statement is too advanced.
