When he was in school, Yang Shuo was a troublemaker who gave all the teachers a headache. The teacher deliberately placed him next to Qiao Chudong, hoping that she, as the class monitor, could urge him to get out of trouble.
Qiao Chudong recalled Yang Shuo's ruffian-like appearance when he was in school. He didn't look like a good person at all.
But now he is calm, reserved, and upright, completely different from before.
Obviously, time and experience change a person.
This reminded her of He Xuyang. When he was in school, he was sunny, handsome, upright and brave.
But what about now? He seemed to have changed, and she could no longer find the light in him that once moved her heart.
The car drove along the streets of the town of 극깊 unknowingly. A flatbed cart blocked the way ahead. The car stopped near the grain station where 깊 Qiao Chudong's mother-in-law lived.
She instinctively looked in the direction of the grain station and spotted the man and woman standing in the alley.
The man was He Xuyang and the woman was Huang Xia.
At this time, someone was carrying furniture out of the alley. He Xuyang hid for her and naturally and intimately held Huang Xia in her arms.
Huang Xia also naturally put her arms around his waist, and the two looked at each other ambiguously. It was unbelievable that they were not a couple.
After seeing this scene, Qiao Chudong's numb heart still felt a little painful.
As soon as she turned around, He Xuyang in the alley turned his head to look over. Not surprisingly, he saw Qiao Chudong sitting in the passenger seat.
When he saw clearly that it was Qiao Chudong, his eyes lit up, but when he saw Yang Shuo in the driver's seat, he suddenly became furious.
He pushed Huang Xia away almost subconsciously, and then rushed over like a mad dog.
But before he could get close, he pulled Qiao Chudong down, started the car and drove away.
"Qiao Chudong, get back here—"
He Xuyang stood in the dust raised by the wheels and roared, but was drowned out by the sound of the truck's engine.
"Xuyang, what's wrong with you? Did you really see your sister-in-law?" Huang Xia chased over and asked.
"That pair of bastards... I'll never let that bastard Yang Shuo go!!!" He Xuyang's eyes turned red with anger due to the humiliation of being betrayed.
Huang Xia tried to comfort him, but he pushed her away again: "I'm going to the countryside, you go back first! We can talk about going to the county town later."
Huang Xia knew that she was definitely going to find Qiao Chudong, and she suddenly felt jealous.
She had finally managed to get closer to He Xuyang recently while Qiao Chudong was away, and he had even agreed to accompany her to the county town to watch a movie. If she were to bring Qiao Chudong back at this time, wouldn't that be a waste of effort?
"Xuyang, I haven't brought Xiaodeng to the countryside here yet! Can you take us to have a look? I can also help you talk to your sister-in-law. After all, isn't it easier for women to communicate with each other?"
At this moment, He Xuyang only wanted to question the couple and didn't think about agreeing to anything.
Yang Shuo only sent Qiao Chudong to the village and drove away. Originally, he was planning to pay tribute to the old man, after all, he was Qiao Chudong's grandfather, but Qiao Chudong refused.
Yang Shuo knew a little about what the old man had done to Qiao Chudong when he was alive, so he didn't insist. He would wait until the early morning to come back to load the goods for the city.
After saying goodbye to Yang Shuo, Qiao Chudong went to her parents' house to find Yaya and Qiao Zhixia first, and then the two sisters went to the funeral hall at Qiao Laosan's house together.
Originally, considering old man Qiao's character, there shouldn't be so many people coming to pay their respects, but thanks to Qiao Zhixia's success, some of his distant relatives took this opportunity to come and get close to Qiao Xinguo.
Qiao Xinguo was also very annoyed, but he had nowhere to escape, and only managed to escape temporarily when the banquet started.
When He Xuyang rushed to Qiao's house, he wanted to confront him angrily, but when he entered the house, he found that there was a mourning hall in the main hall. Only then did he know that old man Qiao was dead.
I was originally filled with anger, but now I had to suppress it.
As the grandson-in-law, he naturally had to burn some incense for the old man, and then go to the funeral as the natural course allowed.
Qiao Chudong, dressed in mourning, came out from behind the mourning hall. The two looked at each other. The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment, and then became awkward again when Huang Xia appeared.
Qiao Chudong glanced coldly at the man's complicated face and walked out. He Xuyang followed immediately.
They came to the vegetable patch outside the yard and stood still. Qiao Chudong spoke first: "Are you here to pay your respects to my grandfather? And are you bringing her here to show off?"
Qiao Chudong's words suddenly reminded He Xuyang of the purpose of his trip, and his face suddenly turned ugly.
"Where is Yang Shuo? Where did you hide him? Are you guys doing something shameful behind my back?"
Qiao Chudong's eyes were red with anger: "He Xuyang, do you think everyone is like you? You're not divorced yet, but you're still having affairs outside. Not only did you bring the person back to your home, but you also brought him to my parents' home. Are you afraid that others don't know about your relationship?"
"Qiao Chudong, I've told you many times that I only think of Xiaoxia as a tomboy. There's nothing as dirty between us as you think. I dare to bring her here because she and I are innocent, unlike you and Yang Shuo. It would be strange if you were hiding from each other!"
He Xuyang became more and more angry as he spoke, as if he had witnessed the scandal between the two of them with his own eyes. Otherwise, right in front of Qiao's house, he would have to strangle her and question her.
Qiao Chudong looked cold and distant: "Yang Shuo only brought me back when he went to the city to deliver goods. He and I are not as unclear as you and Huang Xia."
Before He Xuyang could open his mouth, Huang Xia said seriously:
"Sister-in-law, you really misunderstood Xuyang. Xuyang said he wanted to come see you, so I asked him to take Xiaodeng and me to the countryside. Xuyang and I have been playmates since we were very young. If something had to happen, it would have happened earlier. It has nothing to do with you. Don't splash dirty water."
"Come on!" Qiao Chuxia's cold voice came from the front of the house, "Why would my sister splash dirty water on you and not on others? Won't you reflect on what you have done?"
Huang Xia put away her guilty conscience and said, "You...what do you mean?"
"Is it boring to play dumb? What newly divorced woman would follow a married man around all day? If you don't respect yourself and avoid suspicion, don't be afraid of dirty water splashing on you. If not you, who else would you splash on?"
Huang Xia choked, looked at He Xuyang with shame and anger, then turned and ran away.
He Xuyang looked at the two sisters who shared the same hatred and gritted his teeth, "Chudong, tomorrow morning your grandfather must come home with me, and we can talk about our family affairs behind closed doors."
Qiao Zhixia raised her eyebrows and shrugged: "Who wants to get involved in your shit? You'd better talk to my sister. If you dare to bully her, I promise you will pay the price."
He Xuyang snorted angrily and walked away, probably going to look for the mother and son.
"Sister, why do you still keep such a fickle man? Can you just stop wanting him? I'll find you a better one." Qiao Zhixia was angry when she saw this bastard.
"You silly girl, if you have the energy, why don't you find one for yourself! Your sister, I don't have this fate..."
Qiao Chudong sighed helplessly. Even if the marriage was in name only, she could not leave.
She wants to give Yaya a complete home.
She couldn't let her family become a laughing stock because of her divorce.
When the two sisters were silent for a long time, Aunt Gao suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Oh, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, something's wrong! Your little girl fell into the river..."
