In broad daylight, Qiao Jingjing, despite her weak constitution, used a stick to brutally beat two adult men in the street, leaving them unable to care for themselves.
The two men wept in remorse and immediately returned the Qiao family's belongings.
Large and small carts loaded with chickens, ducks, grain, wine jars, egg baskets, furniture and utensils blocked the entrance to the Qiao family's house in Peach Blossom Lane, causing a sensation in the long-silent city of Lujiang.
"What was that shrew's name again? Was her surname Qiao?"
"Robbery and violence in the street? My God, how dare they!"
"This needs to be reported to the authorities! Report it immediately. Hurry up."
"Exactly! Look at the current leader of this city, how does he manage things?"
"Do you think Sun Ce, that little tyrant, will handle this fairly?"
"Of course! Absolutely! A shrew like her beating up an innocent young man is already a serious crime. Add robbery to that, and she'll probably be sentenced to beheading in the street or even death by a thousand cuts. Otherwise, this place can't be managed. No matter how brutal Sun is, he still has to govern the city, don't you think?"
The onlookers eagerly awaited the brutal treatment of Qiao Jingjing by Sun.
result.
After Qiao Jingjing crippled two "respectable" men, she was still able to swagger around the city.
Walk from the south of the city to the north.
They arrived at the Liu family's courtyard.
While Zhu Liangjia and Li Liangjia were still able to speak, they told Qiao Jingjing where He Miaomiao was. Then Qiao Jingjing beat them so badly that they couldn't even speak anymore.
Qiao Jingjing was currently peering through the dog hole in the Liu family's courtyard wall, listening to the sounds coming from inside.
Inside, many servants were spreading the word: a shrew has appeared in the city, wielding a stick and injuring people everywhere; she's terrifying.
The servants embellished the story, laughing and cursing, and then went on to talk about other people's business.
After saying this, he scolded a woman with extremely harsh words. The woman could only cry and sob, and then the servants continued to scold her, and she could only cry and sob again.
That voice was unmistakably He Miaomiao's.
Qiao Jingjing calmly clung to the wall, holding the half-broken dog-beating stick, and listened for a while longer.
It wasn't until the grumbling servants had gone far away, and it seemed to be mealtime, that they heard He Miaomiao mutter a few words inside.
Qiao Jingjing tried calling out, "Sister-in-law!"
"Miaomiao!"
"He Miaomiao!"
Qiao Jingjing's words terrified He Miaomiao inside.
He Miaomiao's hands were red from the cold as she washed clothes for this family. There were four or five large basins in front of her, filled with clothes, and many more were still unwashed.
A voice came from outside the corner of the wall, a voice that sounded like her nemesis from the Qiao family, the real Da Qiao.
"He Miaomiao, is that you? If it is you, speak up for me. I am Da Qiao."
Despite the clear signal, He Miaomiao was too frightened to speak.
She had only been at the Liu family for a few days, working like a slave, doing the hardest and most tiring jobs, completely unaware of what was happening outside. How did Da Qiao end up here? How was she still alive? She should at least have been with Xiao Qiao, taken to Shouchun by the eighth young lady of the Liu family.
He Miaomiao's brain, which had been tormented for the past few days, was working rapidly.
However, it doesn't work very well.
“He Miaomiao! I know it’s you in there. I’m telling you, if you’re still alive, crawl out of this dog hole yourself! I don’t mind, but Qiao Er won’t either. He’s been looking for you for days and he’s practically lost his mind. Come out now.”
Qiao Jingjing urged He Miaomiao to seize the opportunity.
He Miaomiao was even more uneasy.
Having suffered these past few days, she naturally wanted to escape her misery immediately, but why was it Da Qiao who came to save her?
He Miaomiao conspired with Liu Xier, one of Liu Ajiao's henchmen, with the intention of kidnapping Qiao Manman and selling her to Liu Ajiao. However, Li and Zhu were not human and kidnapped He Miaomiao as well.
Once in Liu Ajiao's hands, He Miaomiao quickly made her identity and stance clear, thinking that Liu Ajiao would offer her some benefits. Little did she know that although Liu Ajiao was arrogant and wicked, she was well aware of the dangers involved and would never want a vicious woman who schemed against her sister-in-law and sister-in-law.
She was about to go north to marry Yuan Shu's beloved son, so she brought along the innocent and pitiful Qiao Manman, and treated He Miaomiao as a servant, locking her up in the Liu family compound as a rough old maid.
He Miaomiao's attempt to steal a chicken backfired, and she lost a whole jar of rice.
"I know why you're here. It's all Liu Ajiao's fault. I've already dealt with Li and Zhu. Come out now. With me here, no one will dare to bully you!"
Qiao Jingjing thought He Miaomiao was ashamed because she had become a servant in the Liu family.
He Miaomiao had no choice but to shift all the blame onto Liu Ajiao.
He Miaomiao crawled out of the dog hole.
Contrary to Qiao Jingjing's expectations, she didn't hug her and cry her gratitude.
Qiao Jingjing assumed that He Miaomiao had suffered.
"Miaomiao, it's alright now. Come home with me."
He also comforted her.
Qiao Jingjing took He Miaomiao's hand. This was the first time she had held He Miaomiao's hand so tenderly since He Miaomiao married into the Qiao family.
He Miaomiao's cracked hands were more swollen and red than carrots this winter.
"Miaomiao, there were some things I didn't do well in the past."
Qiao Jingjing sincerely expressed her apology.
She also experienced a life-or-death situation this time.
Compared to life and death, what are those trivial household chores?
“In my heart, Manman, Qiao Er, Qiao San, and you are last. I am not a good eldest sister. You are right. I have been thinking about how to develop agriculture all day long and have neglected the relationships among family members. From now on, I promise you that I will treat you the same way I treat Manman. You are all my family.”
