"I didn't realize Qiaoqiao was so ruthless when she was little. Those were her own father and brother. They said they'd send her to prison, and they did."
Entertainment facilities were already limited in those days, and there was even less entertainment in rural areas.
The people of Yangjia Village are used to gathering on the village's large open space after dinner to chat about this and that.
Today, the news that Jiang Qiaoqiao sent Jiang Jiahua and Jiang Yong'an to prison is the explosive news in Yangjia Village.
"How come you didn't notice? Don't you think that if that girl wasn't ruthless, how could she have built such a big business in just two years after returning to the city? Not only did she acquire so many properties in the city, but she also came back to open a duck farm."
How can someone who isn't ruthless achieve anything great?
"If you ask me, her biological father and brother are no good either. Uncle Minghui had no grudge against them, yet they killed a person just like that."
"Jojo deserved to send them to jail."
"Hey, do you guys think Jiang Qiaoqiao's ruthlessness is inherited from her father?"
"We'd better be careful in the future and not offend her, or we might get killed without even knowing it."
"What's there to be afraid of? We live in a new era now. There are laws and police. If she really dares to act like her biological father, she won't be able to escape either."
...
"Hmm, I think I hear a car sound."
While everyone was chatting animatedly, the sharp-eared child had already heard the sound of the car.
The people on the drying platform immediately fell silent in unison.
Huo Beixiao has driven back several times, and the villagers now recognize his car.
When Lin Xiaohui led Jiang Qiaoqiao out of the car.
The crowd had already gathered around Huo Beixiao's car.
"Xiaohui, we've heard about Minghui's situation. What's past is past, so don't think too much about it. You still have to live your lives well from now on."
Someone offered words of comfort to Lin Xiaohui.
More people's eyes fell on Jiang Qiaoqiao, scrutinizing and examining her as if they didn't know her before.
Someone said, "Sister-in-law, Qiaoqiao is such a good girl. You and Minghui didn't raise her in vain. Even the police couldn't find anything out about Minghui's case, but Qiaoqiao managed to catch the murderer."
Minghui, if he could see this from heaven, would surely be very pleased.
"That's right, that's right! Qiaoqiao has been smart since she was little, and she cares about you all. Now that Qiaoqiao has made something of herself, Xiaohui, you can just wait to enjoy the good life from now on!"
...
Jiang Qiaoqiao didn't want to talk at this time, while Lin Xiaohui politely dealt with everyone. The group was surrounded by the village's aunts and uncles, and it was not easy for them to finally reach their own courtyard.
Looking at the apricot tree outside the courtyard, whose leaves had almost all fallen, Jiang Qiaoqiao felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on her heart, and her eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.
The courtyard was still neat and tidy, but because no one lived there, it was covered in dust, and one or two tenacious weeds were growing in the corner against the autumn wind.
Although Yang Jianguo has been in the village all this time, he has been living and eating at the duck farm to take good care of the ducklings and has not come back.
Looking at the small courtyard in front of her, Lin Xiaohui's eyes reddened. "It's only been less than two months since I last came back to live here, how come the courtyard is already so dusty?"
"Beixiao, Qiaoqiao, you two go inside and rest first. Mom will tidy up the yard."
"Mom, let me do it!"
As Jiang Qiaoqiao spoke, she picked up the large broom from the corner of the wall.
Lin Xiaohui was reluctant to see her do these chores and wanted to stop her, but Huo Beixiao said, "Mom, let Qiaoqiao do them. We'll just stay with her."
That night, Jiang Qiaoqiao stayed up all night cleaning the courtyard, making sure it was spotless, and even polished the old furniture inside the house until it shone.
Perhaps she was tired, because after finishing her work that night, she curled up in Huo Beixiao's warm and firm arms and slept very soundly.
The next morning, as soon as Jiang Qiaoqiao moved slightly, Huo Beixiao opened his eyes.
Jiang Qiaoqiao looked up and met the man's deep eyes, which concealed worry, and asked somewhat apologetically, "Did I wake you up?"
Huo Beixiao stretched out his strong arms and pressed her against his chest. His deep, sexy voice, which was still a bit husky in the morning, carried a hint of roguishness. "Hmm, you woke me up, honey. You have to sleep with me for a while longer as compensation!"
Jiang Qiaoqiao: ...
Before she could resist, the man's warm lips landed on her forehead and kissed her. "Wife, are you feeling better today?"
Jiang Qiaoqiao gave up her desire to resist and did not answer his question. Instead, she traced circles on his firm chest with her slender fingers and said, "I want to change my surname back."
“Okay, we’ll go talk to Mom and Brother together later,” Huo Beixiao immediately agreed.
The sense of oppression in Jiang Qiaoqiao's heart dissipated by more than half.
I have to say, this man is really good.
It seems that no matter what she wants to do, he supports her without hesitation.
Whenever she needs him, he's always there for her whenever she turns around!
She couldn't help but reach out and hug the man's broad chest tightly, pressing her face against his chest and listening to his strong heartbeat. "Brother Xiao, you're so good to me."
Huo Beixiao casually pinched her chin with his large hand, stealing a kiss on her rosy lips. Then, his strong arms tightened their grip on her. "You're my wife, everything I have is yours. If I'm not good to you, who else can I be good to?"
*
At breakfast, Jiang Qiaoqiao told Yang Jianguo and Lin Xiaohui about changing her surname.
"Good, good, good!"
After hearing this, Lin Xiaohui nodded happily, and even had tears in her eyes. "Your dad mentioned to me before that he wanted me to talk to you about changing your surname back to ours."
