Showing an expression of great humiliation, Feng Qiaoer untied her belt with tears in her eyes and handed the belt to Village Chief Xu.
"Sir... you can carefully examine this belt inside and out. Although Qiao'er is poor, she still has self-respect..."
Tears as big as beans rolled down her eyes, leaving two long marks. Village Chief Xu felt distressed when he saw this and wanted to hold Feng Qiaoer in his arms and comfort her, but because Grandma Xu was present, he had to give up.
Clearing his throat, Village Chief Xu pretended to be fair and said, "In fact, the answer was revealed the moment Qiao'er untied her belt. Mother...you have wronged her. I believe in Qiao'er. She will marry me soon and become my wife. How could she steal things from her own home?
I think this is definitely a misunderstanding, so please don't make things difficult for Qiao'er anymore, so that our family can live in harmony."
“…”
Grandma Xu lowered her head in silence for a long time. Then she raised her head and said, "Son, remember what you said today. I think you will regret it one day!"
Leaning on a cane, Grandma Xu staggered back to her house.
At this time, Village Chief Xu pulled Feng Qiao'er into his arms and handed her the roasted pigeon he had just bought. He comforted her, "Qiao'er, I know you are a sensible person. You won't really make a fuss about my mother, right?"
Feng Qiaoer nodded obediently and asked, "What is this?"
"This is the roasted squab I bought from Fengyun Town. Would you like to try it?"
As soon as Feng Qiaoer smelled the fragrance, she asked excitedly, "Sir, did you buy this roasted pigeon at Zhiweilou?"
"You actually smelled it, but it's no wonder. You used to live in Fengyun Town, so you must have eaten a lot of this roasted pigeon, right?"
Unable to understand the meaning of Xu Lichang's words, Feng Qiao'er just knew to pretend to be pitiful. She sniffed and said with a tearful voice, "Yes, I have smelled this smell often, but I never get to have it. Because every time my father buys roasted pigeon, he only gives it to my brother, and I can only look at it. But I often comfort myself that even if I can't eat it, being able to smell this smell is a very happy thing. It's great!"
Feng Qiaoer spoke with such sadness that Village Chief Xu felt distressed.
Facing the forced smile on Feng Qiao'er's face, Village Chief Xu felt indescribably uncomfortable. He said sincerely, "Qiao'er, since you like this taste so much, I'll bring you roasted pigeon whenever I go to Fengyun Town, okay?"
Feng Qiaoer nodded and handed the roasted pigeon back to Village Chief Xu.
"Mom is furious right now. Try using the roasted pigeon to appease her. The old lady...actually, sometimes she's just tough on the outside but soft on the inside. She doesn't mean any harm."
When Village Chief Xu thought of the injustice Grandma Xu had done to Feng Qiao'er, and also of Feng Qiao'er's current understanding, his face darkened. He said, "You said she's still angry. How could she possibly eat the roasted pigeon? Qiao'er, you can eat the pigeon yourself. As for my mother... once she calms down and realizes where she went wrong, I'll buy her another one."
"Really, we don't need to give her the squab?"
"If I say no, then no!"
Feng Qiaoer laughed secretly in her heart. She didn't expect that Captain Xu was so easy to deal with. She tore open the oil paper wrapping the roasted pigeon and was about to start eating when she heard cursing voices outside the door.
