The neighbors heard the noise and came over. When they saw the scene in the yard, they guessed what had happened.
Yu was a cruel, selfish and stingy person. All day long he either ordered Xiao Taozi to do work or beat or scolded her. His tongue was as hot as if he had eaten chili peppers and he never stopped.
"Oh, what happened again?"
"Yu, have you bullied Xiao Taozi again? The village chief said a few days ago that if you bully Xiao Taozi again, get out of our village!"
"Yeah, don't think that the people in our village are easy to bully!"
Seeing that the neighbors all knew Yu's character well, Qiao quickly struck while the iron was hot and lifted up Xiao Taozi's sleeves, exposing her scars to everyone.
"Everyone, you've come at the right time. Look at the injuries on Xiao Taozi's body. It's ok for her to bully Xiao Taozi on weekdays, but she actually did this to him. What kind of vicious woman did the Chen family marry to be so cruel to a child!"
"Oh, look at the wounds on this child. How could she have the heart to do this to him?"
“Really…really…ah!”
Yu was arrogant to begin with, so how could she be scared by a few words from them? She knew for sure that Xiao Taozi was a member of the Chen family and would not leave, so she became even more unscrupulous?
"Humph, she just doesn't work hard. I'm here to teach her so that she won't be able to get a bite to eat when she goes out. I'm doing this for her own good. Besides, when is it your turn to make decisions about our Chen family's affairs? Since you like to meddle in other people's affairs so much, then you should support her!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was angry, but no one could afford to feed another mouth, so they could only sigh in their hearts that poor Xiao Taozi had to meet such a sister-in-law.
The same goes for Mrs. Qiao. Now that she and Qiao Yunnan have finally gotten the consent of Grandma Qiao, her mother-in-law will inevitably be unhappy if they bring another person.
Looking at everyone's faces, Yu made up her mind that no one could interfere in the Chen family's affairs. She couldn't help but reveal a smug expression on her face and gave Xiao Taozi a stern look.
"You silly girl, why don't you come here quickly? Have you forgotten who provides you with food, drink, and toilet?"
Little Taozi shrank back into Qiao's arms with increasing fear. She knew she was going to be beaten again.
Jiang Xueying took a step forward and blocked Yu's gaze, and Yu's arrogance finally subsided.
At this time, the village chief rushed over after hearing the news. Seeing a group of people standing in the yard, he couldn't help but feel a little confused, but he knew in his heart that it must be Yu who beat Xiao Taozi again, so he looked at Yu with a sharp gaze.
"What's going on?"
Although Yu was usually domineering, he was still a little afraid of the village chief. Thinking of the warning from the village chief a few days ago, he immediately complained to the village chief.
"Village chief, you came at the right time. I was fine at home, and Qiao and Jiang Xueying rushed into my yard and beat me up. You have to give me some justice!"
Mrs. Qiao didn't expect that Mrs. Yu would be so shameless to make up such a story. She was so angry that she retorted, "Village Chief, she is slandering us. It was obviously her who beat Xiao Taozi. We couldn't bear to see it, so we said a few words. We didn't expect that she would rush up and want to beat her. Sister Jiang had to stop her!"
Qiao was usually gentle as water, so it was impossible for her to be so emotional. The village chief instantly realized that Yu must be lying. He looked at Xiao Taozi who was curled up in Qiao's arms, and immediately had an idea.
"Yu, have you forgotten so quickly what I told you a few days ago?"
Yu was stunned, a look of fear flashed in her eyes, and she lowered her head silently.
Seeing Yu's appearance, the village chief could only sigh and said, "Okay, everyone go away!"
After all, it is someone else's family affair. Xiao Taozi is still a member of the Chen family. What can outsiders like them do?
Naturally, everyone understood this truth, and they walked out while muttering, feeling sorry for Xiao Taozi in their hearts. They were afraid that Xiao Taozi would not be able to escape a beating again today!
"This... the village chief?"
The Qiao family didn't expect that the village chief would let the matter go so quickly. They knew exactly what would happen to Xiao Taozi after they left!
But the village chief just sighed and warned Yu seriously, "Yu, if you beat Xiao Taozi again, don't say that our village can't tolerate such a cruel person!"
Yu smiled and didn't take it seriously. She would just be more secretive in the future, thinking that no one would care about the Chen family's affairs in the future.
There was no hope of finding the village chief, so Qiao could only turn to look at Jiang Xueying.
Jiang Xueying just shook her head. Every family has its own problems. Xiao Taozi is a member of the Chen family. How can they control her?
When Mrs. Qiao was feeling sad, Xiao Taozi suddenly grabbed the village chief's trouser leg, knelt at his feet, and cried loudly.
"Grandpa Village Chief, please save me. I don't want to stay at home anymore, Grandpa Village Chief!"
The village chief's eyes were a little moist. He squatted down and helped Xiao Taozi up, touched her head, but did not dare to look her in the eyes. Nowadays, every family has a hard time, and he could not do anything for this child. He felt more and more guilty.
"Good boy, just be patient and wait for your brother to come back!"
Xiao Taozi knew that the village chief had rejected her, and her tears shed more and more. However, she also knew not to embarrass the village chief, so she let go of her hand.
Yu was relieved, and just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she heard Qiao say, "Xiao Taozi, if you come with me, it will just be one more mouth to feed. My family can afford it."
No one expected that Qiao would take the initiative to accept this hot potato, which made Yu laugh. "Bah, Yang, don't think that you have become capable now that you are married to your man's eldest brother. Be careful that someone will poke you in the back and kill you!"
"You don't have to worry about that. You should think about how you can accumulate virtues in your daily life, so as to avoid retribution someday!"
The gentle Qiao said such vicious words for the first time. Jiang Xueying was stunned and then laughed unconsciously.
Hearing this chuckle, Yu's fury instantly exploded, "Mr. Jiang, what are you laughing at? You are also shameless. I don't know what kind of magic you used to deceive the villagers to listen to you. And your two bastards, if this little bitch hadn't saved them, she wouldn't have..."
As if realizing that there was something she shouldn't say, Yu stopped talking quickly, her eyes becoming erratic.
But Jiang Xueying had already heard it. She didn't expect that the matter was related to the two children. What happened? Why didn't she know anything about it?
"What did you say? Explain clearly!"
Yu was not that stupid. She almost let the cat out of the bag just now, so she would not let it slip again. She gritted her teeth and refused to tell the truth.
"Anyway...anyway, no one can take Xiao Taozi away today!"
"What if I have to take it away?"
During the stalemate, a voice came from the door, breaking the tense atmosphere. Everyone's eyes were focused on it, and they saw Qiao Yunnan walking in with a serious face.
When Yu saw Qiao Yunnan, she couldn't help but pause, "You...what did you mean by that just now?"
Qiao Yunnan looked at Qiao soothingly without turning his head, "That's what you understand!"
