Chapter 196: Eating melons in the era (VIII) Three-in-one request for monthly tickets
"It's really not okay to have no son in the family!"
Old man Qiao puffed on his cigarette, and in the smoke, his old face, which looked unapproachable, became a little blurry.
Of course he knew that what Qiao Tongsuo said was exaggerated and provocative.
However, Old Man Qiao also admitted that having a son gives him confidence.
Just like their family, his mother gave birth to four sons at once, and when they quarreled, the old lady was always particularly confident.
Because she has four tall and strong sons.
It's scary enough that her sons just stand behind her and do nothing.
In the city, it doesn't seem as obvious as in the countryside.
But there is still a difference between having a son and not having a son.
Just like the old man Fang Yaozhong in their front yard, who has two daughters, he still prefers to take apprentices.
Before Qiao Jianguo died, he was an apprentice to Fang Yaozhong.
Qiao Jianguo isn't even Fang Yaozhong's most proud disciple. Fang Yaozhong treats him better than his own daughter.
What Fang Yaozhong was thinking, the astute old man Qiao knew it all.
Once a daughter gets married, she becomes an outsider. If an apprentice is taught well, he can be almost like a biological son.
In the past, many old masters relied on their disciples to support them in their old age.
As for their ancestral skills, they would rather pass them on to apprentices than teach them to their daughters.
Old man Qiao is feudal and stubborn. He sticks to the old rules.
If your biological son dies and you still don’t have a grandson, then adopt one.
However, the daughter-in-law cannot be really kicked out of the house.
She has another one in her belly.
If it turns out to be a boy, then he would be his real grandson.
An adopted nephew is definitely not as good as a biological grandson.
But, what if it's not the case? Of course, we can wait a few months until Gu Xiaoni gives birth to the child and then decide whether to adopt the child.
But the factory won’t wait for you that long.
The work matter has been delayed for half a month, and the factory has been urging us to resolve it as soon as possible.
If there is no job as bait, why would his nephew rush to be his son? !
The cigarette was quickly finished.
Old Man Qiao coughed a few times and suddenly said, "Tongsuo, what do you think of Qiao Qiao's mother?"
Old man Qiao grew up in the old society.
His biological mother was a poor bannerman, and the bannermen had an old custom called "levirate marriage."
Qiao Tongsuo's eyes flickered.
Good old Joe, he is really smart! He wants to have the best of both worlds.
Adopt your nephew and then let him marry a daughter-in-law.
If the daughter-in-law gives birth to a grandson, everything in the Qiao family will definitely belong to this grandson in the future.
If his daughter-in-law cannot give birth to a grandson, since she is Qiao Jianguo's original wife, he must be thinking about her.
As a result, I will also pay special attention to Old Man Qiao and his parents-in-law.
Now that he has a "son", his daughter-in-law is more filial... Haha, Qiao Tongsuo is just a tool for doing work and continuing the family line.
but--
Qiao Tongsuo despised her in his heart, but Gu Xiaoni's pretty appearance and her curvy figure flashed through his mind.
In terms of age, Gu Xiaoni is only two years older than Qiao Tongsuo.
A woman of twenty-two is at her most beautiful.
Getting married and having children gave her the charm of a mature woman.
Like a ripe peach, sweet and juicy.
It’s not a loss to marry Gu Xiaoni!
In just a few dozen seconds, Qiao Tongsuo's mind had already turned several circles.
Then, he nodded respectfully, "Sister-in-law is fine!"
Qiao Tongsuo is very careful about his behavior.
He neither showed resistance nor showed any covetousness towards Gu Xiaoni.
Qiao Tongsuo knew very well that Old Man Qiao could let him marry his widowed sister-in-law, but he could not reveal his feelings for her.
This person is the wife of old man Qiao’s only son.
How could Old Man Qiao be happy that his adopted nephew was thinking about his daughter-in-law? Sure enough, when he saw Qiao Tongsuo's honest and obedient appearance, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Old Man Qiao's eyes.
He was secretly proud of himself: My silly wife is just too stupid! She even wanted Gu Xiaoni to take over.
What does she know! Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
This person can't just rely on one person.
When Old Man Qiao came up with the idea of "adoption", he was planning to find an unmarried nephew and have him marry Gu Xiaoni.
These two people are not his biological children, but since they are not the original husband and wife, they will have their own little thoughts.
It would be even better if Gu Xiaoni gave birth to a son.
Even if it's another girl, old man Qiao is not afraid.
He just sat there high up, acting as a check and balance between the young couple.
If the couple don't agree, how can they scheme against others?! For the rest of their lives, they can only let him control them! Tongsuo is a good kid, smart and capable!
However, no matter how clever the kid is, he can't beat this old fox.
…
In the evening, Gu Qingcheng brought Qiao Qiao back to the slum.
As soon as she entered the yard, Gu Qingcheng ran into her neighbors who were chatting in the yard after dinner.
When they saw Gu Qingcheng come in, they all turned their heads.
Gu Qingcheng: ...
There was something weird in these people's eyes.
Some people were looking at him, some were sighing, and some were looking at him with contempt.
Gu Qingcheng pondered secretly: Could it be that after I left, Ma family did something weird again?
"Xiao Ni, you're back!"
It was Widow Liu who spoke first.
Even though she lives in the backyard, she is particularly fond of gossip.
After eating, she pushes the bowl away and likes to run out to chat with her neighbors.
Something big did happen in the slum today.
A large amount of chat material is provided for these middle-aged and elderly women.
A group of people were talking when Gu Qingcheng stepped in.
Everyone couldn't control their emotions for a moment, and they all showed their truest expressions.
The others felt a little embarrassed, worried that Gu Qingcheng had heard their gossip.
It was Widow Liu who claimed that she had some kind of "relative" relationship with Gu Qingcheng and usually took care of her. After all, she was an "elder".
Widow Liu greeted Gu Qingcheng first, and then went straight to the point, "You don't know yet--"
This is just keeping the secret.
He threw out a question and deliberately asked about Gu Qingcheng.
According to Gu Qingcheng's original personality, she was not willing to chat with such gossipy people.
But the original owner was not like that. She was just a diligent and smart young wife.
Although she came from the countryside, she is quite popular in the compound.
The original owner will not ignore the inquiries from the "kind-hearted" neighbors.
Gu Qingcheng wanted to maintain the original character, so she could only show her doubts at the right time like the original owner, "Know what?"
"Auntie, did something happen in our compound?"
Gu Qingcheng said this with uneasiness in her eyes, and asked tentatively, "Is it related to me?"
Widow Liu and several other women nodded secretly.
Jianguo's wife is indeed smart, but unfortunately, she has a bad fate! "Your mother-in-law beat up Lv Xinhua in the backyard!"
"Xiao Lu got beaten up, and there's a big bump on his forehead. He fainted right away!"
"That's right. When I was sent to the hospital, the doctor said I might have a concussion!"
"Hey, it's quite weird. Old Madam Ma is saying, it was just a slap on the face, how could the injury be so serious?"
"She said that? She also said that Xiao Lu and Xiao Gu were Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian!"
Several middle-aged and elderly women were chattering at the same time, and someone mentioned what Ma had said.
After saying this, the man felt a little regretful.
Oh my, how could you say such things, in front of Xiao Gu.
Gu Xiaoni is a young wife, she looks young and has a bad temper.
If you take it seriously and start making trouble again -
The other women also thought of this. They first cast disapproving glances at the man, and then looked at Gu Qingcheng with a little sympathy.
Alas, Gu Xiaoni is such a good daughter-in-law, but she has such a wicked mother-in-law.
What kind of mother-in-law would rush to put the blame on her daughter-in-law?
"Xi Men Qing? Pan Jinlian?"
Gu Qingcheng is no longer the ancient native she used to be. She has experienced several fictional worlds and has gained an understanding of a lot of "common sense".
For example, Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian are the epitome of adultery.
Gu Qingcheng knew that Ma would do something naughty, but she still didn’t expect that she would be so “powerful”.
As a daughter-in-law, if she didn't take the opportunity to make a scene, she would be letting down such a good mother-in-law like Ma.
"My mom, how could she say that?"
"Aunt Liu, all the aunts and aunts, I, Gu Xiaoni, have been married to the Qiao family for four years. You have all seen what kind of person I am."
"My mother can dislike me for being from the countryside and for being uneducated, but she can't treat me like this."
"I am Pan Jinlian? Then who is Ximen Qing? What has become of my Jianguo?"
"She's eager to be Wu Dalang's mother, but I'm not happy about it!"
"No! This matter must be made clear!"
"Otherwise, how can I live with dignity in the future?"
Gu Qingcheng made her accusations in grief and anger while tears were streaming down her face.
The original owner was already good-looking, and Gu Qingcheng brought her looks to the maximum.
At this moment, "Gu Xiaoni" is so beautiful that she doesn't look like an ordinary person.
Coupled with Gu Qingcheng's original temperament, in the eyes of everyone, "Gu Xiaoni", the young wife from the countryside, was like a fairy in a painting.
It looks good, but also has an inexplicable feeling.
A group of uneducated middle-aged and elderly women cannot describe the specific feeling.
But, they just felt that it was like a precious flower, and they could not bear the slightest thought of looking down on it.
Otherwise, it would be blasphemy.
Everyone was stunned by the wave of beauty attacks.
However, Gu Qingcheng had already dragged Qiao Qiao and stormed into the Qiao family.
"Mom, how can you say that? How did I become Pan Jinlian?"
"I've already told you, if you don't want me to stay in the Qiao family, I'll take the kids and leave."
"Why do you have to deliberately put the blame on me just to force me to leave?"
"If I become Pan Jinlian, will Jianguo's reputation be better?"
"You are Jianguo's biological mother. Now that he is gone, you treat him like this?"
As soon as Gu Qingcheng walked in, she started talking nonstop.
Ma was shocked.
Old man Qiao was also stunned for a moment, and then he realized that his daughter-in-law probably heard the neighbors' gossip outside.
Young people are thin-skinned and can’t stand it for a while, so they get angry.
Cursing his wife secretly, "She is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything", the usually hot-tempered old man Qiao smiled and said kindly, "Qiao'er's mother, your mother is old and confused, don't bother with her!"
When Gu Qingcheng saw that old man Qiao had a kind face, alarm bells went off in her heart.
After Gu Qingcheng came here, she has not met Old Man Qiao yet.
However, through the images she saw in the original owner's memory, she already had a general understanding of this person -
Feudal, stubborn, selfish, bad-tempered and chauvinistic.
Moreover, this person has another very amazing quality: he looks carefree, like a hands-off boss who doesn't care about anything.
But when it comes to mental calculations, that shrewish woman named Ma is no match for old man Qiao.
This person is a lotus root, full of tricks.
Old man Qiao usually acts like an old man and never cares much about Gu Xiaoni, his daughter-in-law from the countryside.
If he wasn't served well enough, he would lose his temper.
If Gu Xiaoni was not respectful enough to her mother-in-law, she would just slam the table.
Qiao Jianguo felt sorry for his wife, so he stood in front of Gu Xiaoni. As a result, the old man Qiao slapped him directly! It is said that if a father does not even feel sorry for his only child, he must be selfish and cruel to a certain extent.
He was a man who had always been rude, a typical feudal patriarch. But when he saw his daughter-in-law scolding her husband, he did not get angry at all. Instead, he tried to comfort her in a gentle manner.
If someone said there was no trick involved, Gu Qingcheng would not believe it at all.
With her cheeks puffed up and her chest heaving up, Gu Qingcheng deliberately acted as if she was extremely angry but had to keep silent due to filial piety.
When Old Man Qiao saw this, he was secretly proud: I told you, Gu is easy to control.
If you say a few soft words to her, she will stop making a fuss.
My old lady is just too stupid! However, the reason why Old Man Qiao married her was precisely because Ma was stupid enough.
Otherwise, how could Old Man Qiao, a poor boy from the countryside, deceive Ma, a city girl, with just a few words? The Ma family also helped him find an apprenticeship in a factory run by foreigners.
In this way, Old Man Qiao, a man who was not valued by his parents, was able to settle down and build a career in the city.
Once again, Old Man Qiao was certain that his daughter-in-law was easy to deal with, and he became more determined in his plan.
His slightly cloudy eyes rolled around, and Old Man Qiao decided to take advantage of this "turmoil".
"Qiao'er's mother, you can't blame your mother-in-law for being angry about this."
"It's really like being in a melon field, it's easy to cause gossip."
"Don't be so quick to cry. Listen to me. Your mother and I know that you are a good person and you are sincere to Jianguo."
"But who made you date Hua Zi from the Lu family? And Hua Zi hasn't gotten married in the past few years."
"It's good that Jianguo is alive. Now that he's gone, won't outsiders start gossiping about him?"
"Your mother heard the rumors outside and saw Huazi talking to you. She was so angry that she lost her mind and said something she shouldn't have said."
"Your mother didn't mean it, but the neighbors...ah, these rumors are just groundless. Unless you remarry——"
Old man Qiao's words, one after another, seemed to be getting straight to the point.
Unexpectedly, Gu Qingcheng suddenly said, "I won't remarry!"
Old man Qiao was still immersed in his own thoughts. When he suddenly heard Gu Qingcheng's words, he didn't react for a while.
"What? What did you say?" Old man Qiao asked stupidly.
"I said, I won't remarry!"
Gu Qingcheng raised her head, her beautiful face full of determination.
"You want to stay here for Jianguo?"
Old Man Qiao came to his senses when he heard the words "not remarry" from Gu Qingcheng's mouth again.
His expression was somewhat complicated.
As a father, he was of course heartbroken when his only son died.
If possible, he also hopes that his daughter-in-law can remain faithful to her son.
However, Gu Xiaoni's widowhood went against his plan.
Old man Qiao is the most selfish person, and he is used to being the only one who is in charge. How can he allow someone to "disobey"? "Yes!"
Gu Qingcheng nodded vigorously.
Qiao Jianguo was just a stranger to her.
There is no such thing as love, and I will not remain faithful to someone I don't know.
However, Gu Qingcheng never thought about remarrying.
Getting married is really not a necessary choice for her.
In the world of ancient novels, Gu Qingcheng was forced to marry or rely on a man due to rules, etiquette and tasks.
In this world, women don't have to marry.
Her task was to have a man who was not her husband serve her and help raise her children.
Therefore, there is really no need to remarry.
"I won't remarry! I'll just live on my own with the kids!"
Gu Qingcheng said this while looking at old man Qiao's expression.
Seeing the old man's gloomy face, I knew that my words must have disrupted one of his plans.
Whatever Old Man Joe had planned, it was probably only to his own benefit.
Outsiders like my daughter-in-law will only be used! Or even sacrificed! "Great! Old man, did you hear that?"
"Jianguo's wife is willing to stay with Jianguo. As long as she stays in the Qiao family for the rest of her life, then..." Giving her the job is just right!
Ma was originally shocked by Gu Qingcheng's accusations.
Before she could react, her husband rushed over.
Deep down, Ma regards her husband as her God, so she subconsciously stepped back and let old man Qiao make the decision.
However, when Ma heard Gu Qingcheng say firmly that she would not remarry and would remain a widow for Qiao Jianguo, her face immediately lit up with joy.
She excitedly shouted to Old Man Qiao, "Old man, Jianguo's wife is willing to remain a widow!"
"I heard you! Stop shouting!"
Old Man Qiao was already a little annoyed by Gu Qingcheng's non-cooperation.
Seeing his old wife doing something stupid again, he became even more annoyed, and his old face became very ugly.
"You heard it, so what do you say?"
Ma was probably too anxious and forgot her fear of her husband. She urged him again and again, "Jianguo's wife will not remarry. She belongs to our Qiao family."
Old man Qiao's eyebrows were about to stand up. When he heard what Ma said, he suddenly had an idea.
He looked at Gu Qingcheng, "Qiao'er's mother, do you want to continue to be a member of the Qiao family?"
Gu Qingcheng became more alert.
This old guy is going to make trouble.
"I am Jianguo's daughter-in-law, and I am originally from the Qiao family!"
Gu Qingcheng's words were flawless.
Seeing that Gu Qingcheng refused to fall for it, Old Man Qiao became anxious and said directly, "I plan to let Qiao Tongsuo take over Jianguo's job."
"Qiao'er's mother, you are a good person. Your mother and I are reluctant to part with you as our daughter-in-law."
"If you are willing to stay in the Qiao family, it is not impossible—"
Old man Qiao dragged out the last syllable of his words, and glanced in the direction of the woodshed.
The Qiao family also has two rooms, but in the early years, Ma placed a pile of honeycomb coal at the base of the wall of her house.
To avoid getting wet in the rain, Ma covered it with a layer of rain cloth.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Later, they simply built a shack.
Later, it became a small room.
When someone accused Ma of encroaching on his territory, Ma started to throw a tantrum: This is just a shed for storing honeycomb coal. If there is no shed, my honeycomb coal will get wet, and you will have to pay for it.
The neighbors were helpless in what they could do after hearing such unreasonable demands.
Some people even followed suit.
Raised hens and built a chicken coop.
Some things were piled on the chicken coop, and slowly it became a small house.
The area is not large, only about two or three square meters.
There is only a single bed, and people go straight to the bed when they enter the room.
But, for the people living in the slums with housing shortages, it is just a room.
The Qiao family has a small population, so this "woodshed" is usually used to store some miscellaneous items.
Occasionally, when relatives from his hometown came to the city, Old Man Qiao would ask Ma or Gu Xiaoni to put away the sundries and then they would live in the house.
This time, Qiao Tongsuo came to attend the funeral and lived in the woodshed according to the old custom.
The implication of Old Man Qiao's going to see the woodshed now is very clear.
Ma, who was always despised by old man Qiao as stupid, blinked her eyes. She understood! "Old man, you, you want Jianguo's wife to marry Qiao Tongsuo?"
Ma's voice was trembling.
What is this damn old man trying to do? His daughter-in-law said she would stay a widow for her son, but he took the initiative to cheat on his son!
Yes! Qiao Tongsuo is the nephew of old man Qiao, but he has no blood relationship with her, Ma.
Letting his daughter-in-law marry his nephew, bah! What kind of stupid idea is this? It's hard for this old man to come up with this!
However, Ma's train of thought is extremely unique.
It was obviously old man Qiao who came up with such a ridiculous idea. Ma secretly cursed her husband and then turned her target to Gu Qingcheng.
"Gu Xiaoni! Is that you?"
"Okay! You little bitch, I told you that you are Pan Jinlian, and you still don't admit it?"
"Not only did you hook up with Ximen Qing, but you also want to harm your man's brother?"
Gu Qingcheng's face was numb. What the hell was going on?
This old lady is really mentally ill.
Is she addicted to Water Margin?
He actually tried to fit his own family affairs into the novel in a far-fetched way.
Did she really want her son to become a "Wu Dalang"? "Gu Xiaoni, don't play dumb! Tell me, did you seduce Qiao Tongsuo?"
"You two are all bastards. You did something shameful, and yet you instigated Jianguo's father!"
"...I'll beat you to death, you shameless bastard!"
Ma spoke dirty words and made bold guesses.
But she seemed to be convinced and actually believed that "Gu Xiaoni" was Pan Jinlian who had an affair with her husband's brother.
Old Man Joe: ...as stupid as ever!
However, it always works wonders.
Perhaps this time, because of the fuss made by his wife, Gu Xiaoni and Qiao Tongsuo will have to take the blame.
And old man Qiao is just a poor old man who had to compromise because his only son died!
Gu Qingcheng: ...So much drama!
She turned around and avoided Ma's attack.
Then, he raised one foot and kicked the bench next to him to pieces.
Old man Qiao, who had a calculating look on his face, and Ma, who was throwing a tantrum, were both stunned.
They knew that their daughter-in-law was a country girl who was hardworking, able to endure hardships, and strong.
But, but, no matter how strong you are, you can't be this strong.
Kick a solid wood stool to pieces with one foot?
Even the storytellers on the flyover dare not brag like this! ...
The Qiao family's movements could not be hidden from outsiders.
Living in a yard, the neighbors all have particularly pointy ears.
Furthermore, those middle-aged and elderly women who loved gossip saw Gu Qingcheng running home angrily just now.
[Is the Qiao family going to make trouble again? 】
Several middle-aged and elderly women exchanged glances with each other, no one said anything, and followed behind with one mind.
At the beginning, no one dared to get too close.
Well, they were eavesdropping during the day and were caught once by Gu Xiaoni.
If we were caught again at night, it would be hard to explain.
One by one, they stood in the yard near the Qiao family's house, leaning forward, pricked up their ears, and listened hard.
The distance was quite far, so the crowd couldn't hear clearly.
So, these people began to quietly, step by step, approach the door of Qiao's house.
When they moved to the outside of the room, they pressed their heads against the crack of the door like a pyramid, and just in time heard Ma's angry curse.
[What's going on? Are they fighting? ]
[No! What did Mrs. Ma mean by what she said just now? ]
[Gu Xiaoni is still having an affair with Qiao Tongsuo? ]
[Bullshit! Gu Xiaoni is not stupid. She would rather choose a peasant than Lu Xinhua? ]
[Old Man Qiao wants to adopt Qiao Tongsuo, so that Qiao Tongsuo can also become a city dweller, right? ]
[Eh? Now that you mention it, Jianguo's wife marrying Qiao Tongsuo is the best of both worlds! ]
[What the hell, the best of both worlds, the elder brother died, and the sister-in-law married the younger brother, what kind of talk is that? ]
Several middle-aged and elderly women were communicating quickly and silently.
This is probably the tacit understanding that neighbors have developed over the years. Without speaking, they can still have a lively chat just by exchanging glances.
Bang! Snap!
Just as a few middle-aged women were making faces, pouting and shaking their heads, the sound of furniture breaking was suddenly heard.
[Oh no! Oh no! Could it be that old man Qiao is angry and has started to attack? ]
[No way. In the early years, Old Man Qiao liked to hit people, but after Ziji Jianguo entered junior high school, Old Man Qiao stopped hitting people.]
[He didn't hit anyone! But he threw things! Have you forgotten that two months ago, old man Qiao was still throwing stools and kicking tables at home? Tsk, what a prodigal son, he doesn't know how to feel sorry! ]
[He shouldn't really hit his wife, right? If the news gets out, he'll be laughed at.]
[I think our shantytown will become famous soon. ]
[Hurry up, go and call the first and second uncles! ]
The women had another silent conversation.
Soon, two respected managers of the front and back yards came over.
They stood at the door and shouted:
"Brother Qiao, what are you doing so late at night?"
"Yeah, let's talk it over nicely, don't smash things!"
"That's right, Jianguo's wife is still young and doesn't know much. If she offends you, as the elders, you should be more tolerant!"
Old Man Qiao & Ma: ...
The two men were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their legs became weak.
Hearing the two uncles' shouting and knocking on the door, I felt even more miserable.
More tolerant? Ha, who is tolerant of whom? Living under the same roof for four or five years, they never knew that their daughter-in-law was actually a "martial arts master".
The two old men couldn’t think of anything like a strongman at the moment.
But they usually like to listen to a play or a storytelling.
Among those artists, there are martial arts geniuses who can fly into the sky, break the ground, and crush rocks with their chests.
The Gu Xiaoni in front of me can break a bench with one kick, she is no worse than those heroes!
No matter how bad-tempered or calculating Old Man Qiao is, he is just an ordinary citizen.
Have you ever seen such a horrifying scene? "Dad! I won't marry Qiao Tongsuo!"
Gu Qingcheng sneered secretly when she saw the cowardly old man Qiao.
But he shouted in grief and grievance, "As for Jianguo's job, it was originally your job."
"Jianguo is gone, you can give that job to whoever you want!"
"I, I'll take the child back to my parents' home right now!"
"Dad, since you have decided to adopt Qiao Tongsuo, I believe you will have no shortage of children and grandchildren in the future!"
"Qiao'er and the baby in my belly will not stay to trouble you two old people!"
Bang! Gu Qingcheng hooked her fingers and gently lifted up the solid wood Eight Immortals Table.
Bang!
This time, the table didn't break, but two legs were broken.
Old man Joe’s eyes were as big as bull’s.
The old man was also trembling slightly.
Just one finger! "Gu Xiaoni" picked up the heavy eight-immortals table with just one finger.
If such a powerful woman kicked him, all his old bones would be broken.
People as extremely selfish as Old Man Joe are most afraid of death.
He was already smart, and at the critical moment, he unleashed all his potential——
"Okay! You can take the child with you! I can also give you half of Jianguo's pension."
This is old man Joe’s bottom line.
He felt that "Gu Xiaoni" should be able to satisfy her.
"Write a document!"
Gu Qingcheng wants to completely sever ties with the Qiao family.
No one else was sure whether the baby in Gu Xiaoni's belly was a boy or a girl, but Gu Qingcheng, who had read the story summary, knew that it must be a boy.
If you don’t write a letter of severance, if you don’t sign a document.
Even if Gu Qingcheng took the child and left the Qiao family, Old Man Qiao and Ma would come looking for them.
The use of force can deter, but it cannot completely solve the problem.
Only force + written documents can effectively keep away from the old couple of the Qiao family.
"well!!"
Old man Qiao attended a literacy class run by the factory and he can read.
With just a few quick strokes, he wrote a document, clearly stating everything about the child and the pension.
Sign and stamp your fingerprints in one go.
After getting the receipt, Gu Qingcheng pulled the dumbfounded Qiao Qiao to the house of the original owner and Qiao Jianguo, which was the inner room of the two rooms.
Old man Qiao wiped his sweat, and the two old men outside were still knocking on the door.
They didn't know what was going on inside, they only heard the sound of things being smashed.
The neighbors all knew what kind of person Old Man Joe was, and they all believed that he was just losing his temper again.
"Brother Qiao, open the door!"
"What happened?"
The two old men began to increase their strength.
The door panel was shaken a little after being hit.
"Go open the door!"
Old man Qiao shouted at Ma in annoyance.
The commotion was so severe that all the neighbors were called over.
If he had just said a few words and didn't open the door, the neighbors would definitely not give up.
If you don't handle it right, maybe the police will be called in! If it really gets to that point, it will be a disgrace to the world.
When Ma was yelled at by her husband, she shuddered subconsciously.
When I looked up, I saw the fierce look in old man Qiao's eyes.
Ma did not dare to delay, and hurriedly took a few steps, unbolted the bolt, and opened the door.
The first uncle Fang Yaozhong and the second uncle Zhu Jinshui walked in.
Widow Liu and a group of middle-aged and elderly women also crowded into the house.
Wow! What happened? The whole house is in a mess!
Old man Qiao is so powerful that he even smashed the stools and tables.
This temper is too bad.
The point is, it's too wasteful! People these days are so frugal that they would like to pass down a set of furniture for three generations.
A good round table and old elm wood bench, just like that were broken?
It’s so difficult to repair!
Old Man Qiao: ...What are you looking at?
It wasn't me who did it at all, okay?
Old man Qiao felt aggrieved, but he did not immediately explain himself.
Because he knew that his temper was understood by all the old neighbors in the slum.
Even if he told the truth, his neighbors would just think he was a coward who dared to do things but not to take responsibility.
Rather than being called a scoundrel, he would rather be a bad guy with a bad temper.
Only evil people are not afraid of being bullied.
Old man Qiao has a lot of plans for success, but he has an old woman who holds him back.
Although Ma was afraid of her husband, she was also the one who loved him the most and could not bear to see him suffer injustice.
"This was done by Gu Xiaoni!"
Old man Qiao closed his eyes and said, "I said you are stupid, but you still don't admit it? Look for yourself, does anyone here believe what you said?"
Widow Liu curled her lips and said, "Sister Ma, do you feel guilty for saying this?"
"What kind of person is Xiao Ni? How could people in our compound not know?"
"Humph, if she had this ability, would you have treated her like a child bride in the past?"
The other neighbors nodded as well, although they didn't say anything.
yes!
All the neighbors in the compound saw how Ma tortured her daughter-in-law.
Asking a pregnant woman who is about to give birth to take apart and wash bedding and climb a ladder to repair the roof. There were also mothers-in-law present, and they felt that they could not do such a thing.
"It's really Gu Xiaoni! If you don't believe me, you can go ask her!"
Seeing that no one believed her, Ma became more anxious to explain herself.
Creak!
The door hinges in the inner room made a noise, and Gu Qingcheng came out carrying a bundle.
"My mom said I did it, so I did it."
"Uncle, uncle, aunts, please bear witness for me."
"After Jianguo passed away, I wanted to stay with him and never get married, so I stayed in the Qiao family to serve my parents-in-law and take care of the children, but my parents-in-law didn't agree."
"My father-in-law wants to adopt his nephew from his hometown and wants me to marry him!"
"I can't accept it. I can't stay in the Qiao family anymore!"
"My father-in-law failed to force me, so he owed me a letter of severance. From now on, Qiao'er and the child in my belly have nothing to do with my parents-in-law!"
"I'm leaving the compound right now—"
When Gu Qingcheng said this, everyone was a little shocked.
Some people were surprised at the absurdity of old man Qiao, some people envied Qiao Jianguo for marrying a good and loyal wife, and more people felt sorry for "Gu Xiaoni".
"Oh my, how did it come to this?"
"Brother Qiao, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but this is not very kind of you."
"That's right, if you want to adopt her, then just adopt her. Why are you forcing Xiaoni to get married?"
"Humph, this is not his real father! If it were my son, bah, my son would not die! But I would never let my son be a cuckold!"
The neighbors were pointing and saying all sorts of things.
Old man Qiao's face turned pale. He knew that after this incident, his already bad reputation would become even worse! Ma couldn't bear to see her husband being besieged, so she opened her mouth to defend him.
Gu Qingcheng spoke first, "I don't blame my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Jianguo is gone, but my parents-in-law still have to live their lives."
"It's good to adopt a nephew, but the fate between me and the Qiao family should be severed now!"
As she spoke, tears rolled down Gu Qingcheng's eyes.
She spoke with strength, but everyone present felt that she was just pretending.
Alas, what a pity!
"Xiao Ni, it's late at night. Even if you want to leave, you have to wait until dawn!"
"Yeah! Let's go to my house! After all, we are relatives!"
Widow Liu couldn't bear it any longer, so she took Gu Qingcheng's hand and went to the backyard.
Uncle Fang Yaozhong looked at Gu Qingcheng's back, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes.
Qiao Jianguo was trying to save him, only then...
No! I can't let Xiao Qiao's wife be kicked out like this!
