The Song family's plan was this: once the bridge couldn't be built, or if the bridge collapsed, the Song family would withdraw the divorce papers. Although Qiao Lian'er had pressed her fingerprint on the divorce papers, it only meant severing ties with Song Rui'er. As long as Qiao Yunni remained a member of the Song family, Qiao Lian'er, as her daughter, would naturally also be a member of the Song family.
Anyway, she still has the surname Song, doesn't she?
Unexpectedly, the Qiao family secretly changed the girl's surname behind the Song family's back.
They don't share the same surname, so how can they be considered a family? Getting the divorce papers back would be a real challenge.
Changing one's surname to Qiao signifies recognizing the Qiao family as one's ancestor and being subject to their authority.
Old Song had already calculated in his mind that Qiao Lian'er was worth at least ten taels of silver, and perhaps even twenty taels, because she could write, read, and was intelligent.
If Qiao Lian'er hadn't insisted on following Qiao Yunni, she would have wanted to be his daughter.
Therefore, Song Lao Da's anger was even greater than Song Lao Er's.
He had already picked up a branch from the ground, ready to give Qiao Lian'er a good beating.
Seeing the Song brothers so aggressive, the Qiao family members also rolled up their sleeves, revealing their strong arms.
"You brat, was changing your surname your idea? How can you do this to the Song family who raised you?"
Old Song raised the branch and hurried forward, about to bring it down on Qiao Lian'er's head.
In his view, he was just disciplining his daughter.
However, just a few steps away, Qiao Laosan kicked him in the stomach.
With a scream, Song Laoda clutched his stomach and rolled down the slope, his face pale and covered in cold sweat.
Song Lao Er was furious when he saw this, but the Qiao family members stood in front of Qiao Lian'er with great momentum.
He took a step forward, gritting his teeth: "You, you are too arrogant! Not only did you change Song Lian'er's surname, but you also beat up the Song family. Who gave you the right to be so lawless?"
"I'm going to beat up all of you dogs from the Song family." Da Cheng swung his arm in all directions, making a whooshing sound: "Do you want to try it too?"
Of course, Song Lao Er wasn't going to invite trouble, so he turned around sullenly and went down to help Song Lao Da on the road.
Old Song was in excruciating pain, his teeth clenched, and he was still unable to speak.
"When the village chief comes back, we'll go and reason with him. The Song family isn't so easy to steal from." Song Lao Er turned and glared hatefully at the Qiao family.
Old Qiao snorted and looked at the two Song brothers as if they were dogs: "Then you can go and say it. The change of surname was done by Zhao, the village head, who took the household registration certificate to the county government office. It's already been stamped. No matter how unwilling you are, you can't change it back."
The two had hoped that the Qiao family had only changed their names verbally, but that the surname on their household registration would still be the Song family's.
The attitude that Boss Song just displayed carried a strong element of warning.
Unexpectedly, it really was changed. Old Song rolled his eyes and almost fainted from anger.
“Your Qiao family is so confident that the bridge plan will work. If it can’t withstand the flood, Qiao Yunni will still be a member of the Song family, and the divorce papers will have to be returned.” The eldest son of the Song family forced out the words with great difficulty, enduring the pain.
"That's a divorce agreement. Lian'er has already taken the Qiao family name. She will still be the Qiao family's granddaughter and won't go with anyone. When she grows up, the Qiao family will arrange a marriage for her." Old Mrs. Qiao said disdainfully, "You Song family are just dreaming."
Of course, she couldn't let her daughter go either. When the time came, the whole family, young and old, would grab weapons and go on a rampage. Who was afraid of whom? This was the unanimous opinion of the Qiao family, but it was not appropriate to say it out loud now.
Qiao Lian'er was amazed to see that her grandparents, despite their advanced age, still possessed such strong fighting spirit. When they started cursing, their thinking was clear and they hit the nail on the head. Especially her grandfather, who, despite his age, had bulging muscles on his biceps.
I could carry 300 pounds without any problem.
