Early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, several bamboo shoots, radishes and cabbages were stolen from Qiao Zhixia's fields.

According to the person in charge of the field, the thieves were none other than Qiao Jinbao and Qiao Yinbao. They were caught stealing vegetables, but they didn't care at all.

"They said that this originally belonged to their Qiao family and they could take it out if they wanted..."

This is not the first time this has happened, and these two little troubles must be dealt with.

Although Qiao Zhixia knew with her toes that Qiao Laosan and his family had ulterior motives in inviting her to dinner.

However, it makes sense to only commit thieves every day without always guarding against thieves. If you don't give them a chance, isn't that just letting them scheme all the time?

She was very busy and didn't have the time to deal with these trivial matters all day, so she decided to meet them while she had free time.

Early in the morning on the first day of the new year, the old lady came again. Li Aizhen didn't want to go into that house again, and Qiao Chudong didn't want to go either.

In the end, Qiao Xinguo and Qiao Zhixia went together. The main target had been invited, and the old lady did not bother any more. She was satisfied and led the two girls back.

Qiao Zhixia didn't bring any extra gifts, so she just returned to them the bag of almost-melted white sugar that Aunt Qiao San had given to her family yesterday.

When Aunt Qiao saw the bag of candy, the corners of her mouth twitched stiffly, but she still pretended to be enthusiastic and invited them into the house.

As soon as I entered the main room, I smelled a stinky smell of excrement, which was obviously coming from Qiao Laosan's room.

It was obvious that the family had not taken proper care of the paralyzed man.

Aunt Qiao San left and closed the door of the room where Qiao Lao San was lying, and the smell faded away.

Not long after the two girls sat down, someone else came. Qiao Zhixia glanced at the far door and saw that the people who came should be a mother and son.

The woman was in her fifties, and the younger man looked to be in his thirties, not too tall but strong, with dark skin and ordinary looks, and a mellow look in his eyes.

He was holding a gift box of maltose and candy in his hand, and he looked at Aunt Qiao and called her cousin.

A few people whispered a few words in front of the courtyard gate, then turned to look at Qiao Zhixia in the main room.

The first time the man saw Qiao Zhixia, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, and even his heartbeat quickened and his breathing became a little hotter.

Undoubtedly, Qiao Zhixia's bone structure is impeccable. In addition, because she eats fruits and vegetables watered with spiritual spring water every day, her skin is white, tender and smooth like glowing white jade, which is naturally eye-catching.

Qiao Zhixia caught a glimpse of the man's eyes, as if he was inspecting goods, and immediately understood the family's intention.

Sure enough, during the meal, Mrs. Qiao deliberately arranged the man to sit next to her.

Aunt Qiao enthusiastically introduced the two of them to each other.

This man is 31 years old. After graduating from primary school, he learned the craft from a bricklayer. Now he has set up his own construction team, specializing in building houses for others.

His wife died of illness two years ago. He now has two sons and a daughter.

"Although Jianye is married, he is very caring! Zhizhi can become a mother after she gets married, and she doesn't have to give birth to a child herself. What a good thing! Zhizhi will soon be eleven years old. How can a girl of this age not get married? Isn't this a joke? Right, brother?"

"Don't worry, uncle. This is a new society. I don't mind Zhizhi dating someone else. The children and I will treat her well."

Qiao Xinguo's face was ugly. Wasn't it just a meal? Why did he bring someone to him? And he brought the person to him directly. The key point was that it was a dead wife who took care of the child. He was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.

When Aunt Qiao saw that Qiao Xinguo didn't say anything, she immediately pushed Hu Jianye.

"Uncle, I want to toast you. Please give me a chance."

Without waiting for Qiao Xinguo to express his opinion, Hu Jianye poured him a glass of wine in a familiar manner. His respectful and polite attitude was truly impeccable.

Qiao Xinguo doesn't smoke, but he is addicted to alcohol. Seeing the clear wine in the glass, he became eager to try it.

But when Qiao Zhixia gave him a cold look, he immediately retracted his hand, not daring to touch the wine glass again.

"My daughter Zhizhi has her own ideas about her marriage. Marriage is about fate, and we as parents don't interfere." Qiao Xinguo's statement was very clear. It was useless to marry him.

Aunt Qiao was unwilling to give up, and quickly persuaded Qiao Zhixia, "Zhizhi, you don't know how much harm giving birth to a child can do to a woman. If you marry Jianye, you will have a son to take care of you in your old age. This is a great blessing! You must seize it."

Qiao Zhixia looked at Aunt Qiao and teased, "Such a great blessing, Aunt Qiao, you should keep it for yourself! Anyway, my uncle is dead, so you can remarry with your two sons!"

"How can that be possible? Jianye is my distant cousin."

Qiao Zhixia laughed: "Oh, that's a pity, it would be better if we were cousins, right?"

Aunt Qiao choked, and the atmosphere at the table became very awkward, but contrary to her usual attitude, she was not annoyed. She just laughed dryly a few times and then started to eat.

On the table was a simple bowl of pork belly stewed with vermicelli, some homemade chicken fried with mushrooms, a pot of fish soup and two side dishes.

Qiao Zhixia looked at the glass of soda under the table and knew that this family had spent a lot of money to win this game.

At least this was the first time she had seen such a sumptuous meal on the dining table in this family.

During the meal, Hu Jianye ignored Qiao Zhixia's cold expression and showed her great courtesy. Aunt Qiao took out a soda and handed it to her, "Come on, these are what you young people like to drink."

Qiao Zhixia took the soda bottle and glanced at Qiao Jinbao and Qiao Yinbao opposite her, only to see that they just glanced at the soda bottle in her hand twice, then retracted their gaze and focused on eating.

If this had happened in the past, they would have come and robbed it long ago. But now it's so abnormal, there must be something wrong.

She looked at the soda in her hand that was still bubbling with bubbles and knew there must be cat poop in it.

But she still drank two cups, but did not swallow them. Instead, she held them in her mouth and glanced at Hu Jianye beside her. She saw that the expectation and excitement in his eyes could hardly be hidden.

She calmly took the opportunity to wipe her mouth with a handkerchief and spat out the soda she had drunk.

At this time, Aunt Qiao proposed to toast Qiao Xinguo again, "Brother, let me toast you on behalf of the third brother! We have relied on you and sister-in-law to take care of us all these years. It was indeed us who were ignorant before. This glass of wine is our apology. If you don't drink it, it means you don't want to forgive us." Aunt Qiao wiped away her tears.

"Xin Guo, your brother has learned his lesson, so please forgive them! I don't know how many years I have left to live, so I just hope you two brothers get along well with each other. Otherwise, I won't be able to close my eyes when I die!" The old lady came out and said nice things at the right time.

The two women's humble apologies and requests for reconciliation still moved Qiao Xinguo. After a slight inner struggle, he picked up the glass and drank a few glasses.

"Brother, you've forgiven us for drinking, right? From now on, our Jinbao and Yinbao will rely on you to take care of them. In the future, they will definitely take care of you and sister-in-law until the end of your life." Aunt Qiao kept talking self-righteously.

The old lady also followed suit: "Today is the first day of the new year, this is a good sign. Come on, come on, eat more..."

Qiao Xinguo shook his dizzy head. He just wasn't used to being talked to in a humble manner by them. When did he say he forgave them?

But...isn't the aftereffect of this wine too strong? I only drank a few glasses, why do I see double when I see people?

Five minutes later, Qiao Xinguo fell asleep on the table.

"Oh, brother, you are drunk!"

Seeing this, Qiao Zhixia put down her chopsticks and said, "I'll take my dad back."

Aunt Qiao quickly refused: "No, no, no, Zhizhi, you eat first and drink more soda. I'll let Jinbao and Yinbao send his uncle to the house to sleep for a while."

Qiao Zhixia began to feel uncomfortable as she watched Qiao Xinguo being carried down the table by the two brothers.

"I have a headache, so I want to go back first."

After Aunt Qiao and the old lady looked at each other shamelessly, they immediately went over and held Qiao Zhixia down, pretending to care about her but refusing to let her leave.

Qiao Zhixia struggled a few times, then fell to the side of the table and lost consciousness.

"Jianye, quickly get her into the house and do the job with her right here. When she wakes up, she won't be able to refuse. Her company will then belong to us." Aunt Qiao's voice was clearly heard by Qiao Zhixia.

"But if she wakes up and finds out that we set her up, what if she reports it to the police?"

Although Hu Jianye couldn't eat Qiao Zhixia up right away, he was still a little worried when he thought about the consequences he might face afterwards.

"You are stupid! Let's insist that you both agreed to it after drinking. If you tell others about this scandal, which woman would dare to tell others about it? Even report it to the police? Isn't that equivalent to announcing that she is a slut? She wouldn't dare to do that." Aunt Qiao was determined.

The fear in Hu Jianye's heart quickly dissipated. He decisively took Qiao Zhixia into the room that Aunt Qiao had prepared earlier, locked the door, and immediately began to take off his pants...
