The Song family members were all overwhelmed. They figured that the Qiao family members never returned from hunting in the mountains until dark, which would be more than enough time for them to handle this matter.
By then, the deed will be done, and the Qiao family will have already been kicked out. Even if the Qiao family forces them to send her back, they will not accept her.
Unexpectedly, the Qiao family returned halfway.
"I told you, the Qiao family, don't go too far. No matter what you steal, it's still stealing, and it's illegal and criminal. Rui'er is right. It's already a huge favor that we didn't drown Qiao Shi in a pig cage. We only kicked her out of the house, we didn't take her life. Where can you find such leniency? You still want to remarry in style with a divorce agreement? There's no such benefit."
Faced with such a formidable presence from the Qiao family, Song Laoda was naturally intimidated, so he puffed out his chest, appearing to be quite reasonable.
All eyes in the Qiao family fell on Song Ruier's face, each one filled with deep doubt and disappointment.
Song Ruier lowered her head, not daring to look at the Qiao family, her toes idly grinding the soil on the ground.
"Rui'er, did you say that?" Old Man Qiao asked in disbelief.
"Impossible." The capable-looking old lady Qiao denied it outright: "Just a few days ago, my grandson was playing happily on my lap. How could he say such cruel things to the mother who gave birth to him? Only a heartless wolf would do such a thing."
Grandma Qiao refused to believe it, but her words were clearly telling Song Ruier that if he really did that, he would be worse than a pig or a dog.
“Why not? Song Ruier is no longer Qiao’s son. Why should we be so polite to her? Qiao was kicked out of the house, so Song Ruier will be raised by us. He will take care of us in our old age and continue our family line.” Chen said with pride.
Everyone said she couldn't have a son, so no one would break the pot in the future. Now she's got such a big son for free, and he's so loyal to them. Where can you find such a good thing?
Upon hearing this, the Qiao family felt their hearts sink even further, becoming utterly disappointed and furious.
It turns out that the Song family had already made arrangements for the two children. It should be said that this was a decision made by the adults, and the children had no choice. However, Song Ruier was so eager to surrender to the second wife and belittle and insult her own mother.
"Song Ruier, tell me yourself, is this how you treat your mother?"
Boss Qiao stepped forward, glaring angrily at Song Ruier.
He was tall, and even from a distance, his shadow loomed over Song Ruier.
Song Ruier was trembling and tilted her head, but her eyes were resolute.
He said, word by word, "My mother is surnamed Chen."
In that case, there's no need to ask any more questions.
Qiao Lao Er roared, "I'll beat you to death, you heartless, ungrateful wretch! Your mother wasted her life raising you, all her efforts have only produced such a scoundrel!"
He was about to take action when he said that.
Qiao Lao Er had the most volatile temper. He dealt with many unruly people in the village without any mercy. The Song family members all changed their expressions, and Song Lao Er quickly protected Song Rui'er.
"Stop right there!" Old Man Qiao said coldly, his voice not loud but very authoritative, which made Qiao Lao Er stop in his tracks.
"Dad, is there any need for such a brat to stay in this world?"
Old Man Qiao snorted: "The Song family has already made their decision, and they are willing to acknowledge someone else as their parent. They are no longer my grandson or your nephew. What right do you have to lecture them?"
Qiao Lao Er turned his head away, his chest still heaving with resentment, his breathing rapid.
The final punch slammed into the Song family's courtyard wall, creating a hole.
