"You're the one with malicious intentions, stealing my daughter's dowry money, and now you're trying to shift the blame? Try hitting my daughter once and see what happens! I'll fight you to the death!" As she spoke, Lin Chunying flung the broom away from her hand.
Qiao Weiguo stared blankly at this scene.
I never expected that my usually quiet wife could be so frightening when she got angry.
But why did he inexplicably feel like laughing? Perhaps it was because he had finally let go of his obsession, and Qiao Weiguo felt a sudden sense of relief.
Seeing that his wife and daughter were both standing up straight, Qiao Weiguo felt relieved and said to Qiao Qiqi, "I still have things to do in the fields, so I'll be leaving now. You take good care of your mother."
"You go ahead with your work, leave Mom to me, I guarantee not a single hair will be missing."
Watching Qiao Weiguo leave, Qiao Qiqi immediately let loose and warned Lu Xiufen, "I advise you to move quickly, otherwise when the villagers come back after work, they will definitely ask questions when they see you carrying things out. I can't keep my mouth shut, and I will definitely have to tell them everything that happened today."
Lu Xiufen was so angry that she almost fainted when she realized that she was being threatened.
But now that her son was gone, she glanced at Lin Chunying…
Qiao Qiqi said directly to Lin Chunying, "Mother, I can watch over things here. You can go back to your room and lie down."
Lin Chunying didn't want to go, but Qiao Qiqi forced her to go inside to rest.
Then, she stood at the door of the east room, staring intently at Lu Xiufen's tidying movements. When she saw Lu Xiufen take a blue cloth out of the cabinet, she immediately rushed over and snatched it away.
"Isn't this the fabric my mother wanted to use to make cotton-padded trousers for my father last year? Later, she said it was lost. Turns out, you stole it!"
"You little slut, that's my cloth! Give it back to me!"
Lu Xiufen rushed forward to try and snatch it back, but Qiao Qiqi had already unfolded the cloth.
When Lin Chunying threw away the cloth, the cotton pants were already sewn on. Seeing that Lu Xiufen still dared to say it was hers, she immediately pointed to the waistband and said, "You're talking nonsense. This was clearly sewn by my mother. My mother's waistband is different from others because she is left-handed, so the buttons are in the wrong direction."
Lu Xiufen was exposed, her face turning pale and then red, and she dared not argue any further.
He could only angrily go back and continue packing.
Qiao Qiqi naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass by. Lu Xiufen had stolen quite a lot from her house over the years, and there must still be some left here!
As she expected, things soon turned out that she saw many more.
For example, there were insoles, quilt covers, and even rice, flour, and oil. Qiao Qiqi even found the small silver lock that her younger brother Qiao Tianyou wore when he was a child while Lu Xiufen was tidying up the things in the cabinet.
This little silver lock was specially bought for Qiao Tianyou by Qiao Qiqi's maternal grandmother, but it was lost many years ago. I never expected it to be with Lu Xiufen.
"You're like a rat in the gutter, stealing everything, even your own grandson's little silver lock. Are you even human?"
Qiao Qiqi looked at Lu Xiufen with disgust. Luckily, Lu Xiufen was about to move out, otherwise she would have kicked her out.
Lu Xiufen was furious with her. She was already angry enough about packing her things to leave, but Qiao Qiqi kept trying to take her things.
But that brat wouldn't leave. She just stood guard at the door, her eyes wide like saucers, watching her pack without blinking. She wouldn't leave no matter how hard she tried to get rid of her.
Lu Xiufen looked at the things at her feet, thinking that they were all hers, and now they had all been taken away by that little bitch Qiao Qiqi. Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) and started howling in anger.
"You unfilial descendants! You're not letting this old woman live! You might as well just kill me!"
Qiao Qiqi wasn't afraid of her shouting and even smiled confidently, "Although I do want to do that, murder is punishable by death, and I won't do such a stupid thing. Besides, I believe in the cycle of karma and that retribution is inevitable. Some people do too many bad things, and sooner or later God will take their place. I'll just sit back and enjoy the fruits of God's labor."
"You...you're so vicious! You'll get what's coming to you!" Lu Xiufen was so angry that she was panting heavily when she saw that Lu Xiufen still dared to curse her.
Qiao Qiqi, however, seemed indifferent: "Whether I have a good ending or not is none of your concern. You should worry about where you'll sleep tonight and see if your good son can take you in."
The two argued incessantly, making it impossible for Lin Chunying in the west wing to get any rest.
Seeing that the two had been arguing for a long time and Lu Xiufen still hadn't left, she had no choice but to come out of the house. "Qiqi, forget it. Let her pack her things and leave. We don't need those things."
"Why shouldn't we take it? It's ours to begin with. I'd rather feed it to a dog than give it to that heartless bastard."
Such a blatant veiled insult made Lu Xiufen cough in anger. "Who...who are you insulting?"
"Who are you cursing? Isn't it obvious? Now I understand what it means to be able to guard against a thief within your own household day and night."
As she spoke, Qiao Qiqi pulled out a dozen socks from Lu Xiufen's neatly folded clothes. "These are the ones I bought for my mother!"
When Lu Xiufen saw her rushing up, she reached out to try to snatch it back, but she was not as quick as Qiao Qiqi.
She rushed forward too fast and didn't notice for a moment, and fell directly off the kang (a heated brick bed).
"Mother!" Lin Chunying was startled and immediately went in to help the person up, but Qiao Qiqi grabbed her and whispered quickly in her ear, "If you help her up, you'll just give her a reason to stay here."
"..." Lin Chunying paused, then hesitated.
Qiao Qiqi knew that Lin Chunying was too kind-hearted and would definitely not be able to bear leaving her there, so she immediately used the things under her feet as an excuse to get Lin Chunying to take the things to the kitchen and send her away.
As soon as Lin Chunying left, Qiao Qiqi immediately squatted down in front of Lu Xiufen with a smile, "You can cry as much as you want, and it would be best to attract all the neighbors. Anyway, they all know what kind of person you are. Then I'll tell them about you stealing my betrothal gifts, and see if anyone will sympathize with you."
Lu Xiufen stopped crying. Seeing that her little trick had been exposed again, she looked at Qiao Qiqi with a gaze that seemed to want to devour her alive.
Qiao Qiqi had already stood up.
"Hurry up, it'll be dark soon. I don't have the patience to wait for my dad to come back. As soon as it gets dark, I'll throw all your things out!"
Lu Xiufen took a couple of breaths in anger, finally stopped arguing, packed up the last few things, and put them all on the cart in the yard.
During this time, Lin Chunying helped carry the items twice.
Qiao Qiqi was concerned about Lu Xiufen's back injury, so she immediately told Lin Chunying to go inside and rest. She helped Lu Xiufen carry the cart twice and even thoughtfully pushed it to the gate of the courtyard. Then she waved goodbye to Lu Xiufen.
Goodbye, and never again!
As soon as she finished speaking, fearing that Lu Xiufen might turn back, she immediately locked the courtyard gate, turned around gracefully, and went into the house.
As for the stroller, she wasn't in a hurry; she could just go to her uncle's house to get it whenever she had time.
Anyway, Lin Chunying had nowhere else to go but there.
