Chapter 7 The Death of Qiao Changdong in His Previous Life

But Grandma Qiao still doted on him.

Before he turned eighteen, Qiao Changdong spent his days joking around and doing nothing productive. What he did most was ask his older brothers, sisters, and his grandmother for money and go out to waste his days.

Grandma Qiao is a very serious person who doesn't like to smile, but as long as Qiao Changdong acts cute with her, she will smile and then give in to her every whim.

In the past, when conditions were poor, any good things in the family were always given to Qiao Changdong first.

While his four older siblings grew up eating coarse grains, Qiao Changdong was raised on fine white flour and rice.

It's comparable to how Qiao Changdong dotes on Qiao Qiao now.

Qiao Changdong brought Qiao Qiao back to raise, but Grandma Qiao initially disagreed.

After all, he's just a kid who can't even live his own life, how can he raise another child, especially a baby who can't even eat?

Moreover, if she raises this child, how will her son find a partner in the future?

So Grandma Qiao didn't like Qiao Qiao at first.

However, after seeing Qiao Changdong adopt Qiao Qiao and gradually become more settled and mature, she slowly compromised.

Moreover, Qiao Changdong was a man after all, and he didn't know how to take care of a baby, so before she was one year old, Qiao Qiao was often taken care of by her grandmother.

Qiao Qiao was exceptionally beautiful from a young age. Not to mention the surrounding villages, even Grandma Qiao had never seen such a beautiful child in her entire life.

It was raised by me, a white and tender little glutinous rice ball.

How could I not like him? Gradually, I started to love this child too.

In particular, Qiao Changdong completely gave up all his bad habits in order to support Qiao Qiao and went out to find a proper job as a long-distance truck driver.

Before he married Chen Yulian, he gave all the money he earned to her to manage. She doted on Qiao Qiao even more, feeling that this child was her son's lucky star.

But then—Qiao Changdong died.

He died on the way to Kyoto to bring her back.

Qiao Qiao was eight years old at the time. She had just been taken back by the Shen family and was spending her first New Year in Kyoto. She was not used to it at all.

She secretly called Qiao Changdong in the middle of the night and cried very hard.

Qiao Changdong had doted on her since she was a child, so naturally he couldn't stand it.

He works as a long-haul truck driver, and he set off for Kyoto to find her the very night he received the call.

I just didn't expect that on the day he went, a sudden downpour would start on the way.

Due to bad weather, driving at night, and long hours of driving while fatigued, Qiao Changdong collided with an oncoming truck. The other driver was only injured, but Qiao Changdong died on the spot.

Qiao Changdong is dead.

It was her willfulness that killed Qiao Changdong.

At that time, she thought that the Qiao family resented her, which was why they were indifferent and unwilling to let her go back.

She lived in Kyoto for a year, and no one ever came to visit her.

But after receiving all the memories from the book, she realized that it wasn't like that at all.

The Qiao family all loved her, and no one blamed her.

It was the Shen family who interfered, preventing her from going back and also preventing the Qiao family from visiting her in Kyoto.

Only Grandma Qiao managed to see her in the second month after Qiao Changdong's death, using some unknown method.

I stayed with her through the most difficult month.

He also told her that she was her father Qiao Changdong's most precious treasure in his life, and that she should carry on Qiao Changdong's legacy with her.

Live well.

It was only then that she realized why Grandma Qiao doted on her father.

A small part of the reason is indeed because Qiao Changdong is the youngest.

But the main reason is that her father is a "nephew who resembles his uncle," very much like Grandma Qiao's brother.

During the war, Grandma Qiao was separated from her family and could never find them again. So when she saw her son, who looked like her brother, her homesickness would soften.

However, three months after Qiao Changdong's death, after Grandma Qiao returned to Qiao Family Village, she passed away on the night of the first Qingming Festival after Qiao Changdong's death.

She failed Grandma Qiao's expectations and did not live a good life carrying on her father's legacy.

Instead, he was murdered by the Shen family. He was not even ten years old when he died, and his death was very tragic.

Thinking about all this, Qiao Qiao felt as if her heart had been stabbed by a knife, a sharp, agonizing pain that made it hard for her to breathe.

Grandma Qiao walked out of the delivery room and the first thing she saw was Qiao Qiao in Qiao Changdong's arms.

Qiao Qiao looked at her, her eyebrows furrowed into a small knot, her small mouth tightly pursed, and her big eyes brimming with tears. She looked so pitiful.

Grandma Qiao sighed, her heart softening completely.

But she had other more important things to do, so she could only look at her for a moment before turning around and heading towards the Chen family mother and daughter.

Qiao Qiao's eyes darkened as she watched her grandmother walk away. She thought to herself, "Sure enough, Grandma is still angry with me. Grandma doesn't want me anymore."

Qiao Qiao sniffed pitifully, her little hands tightly gripping Qiao Changdong's collar.

When Grandma Qiao heard the little girl sniffing, she instinctively looked over again.

And upon closer inspection...

Then she saw a scene that shocked her greatly.

Suddenly, a small grayish-white bubble appeared on the forehead of her fair-skinned granddaughter!

Inside the little bubble stood a tiny, incredibly cute version of my granddaughter!!!

The little girl was walking with her back to her.

She was wearing a drab, hole-ridden gray outfit and carrying a small bundle on her back that was bigger than her body.

There was also a cross patch on the small bundle.

She kept turning back every three steps, her little head drooping, walking in the opposite direction from her.

The figure grew farther and farther away, smaller and smaller...

As if to fit the occasion, some withered leaves, which seemed to have drifted in from nowhere, drifted down from above the grayish-white bubbles.

Floating and floating in mid-air... floating and floating...

The small figure standing there looked so desolate, helpless, and pitiful.

"???" Grandma Qiao.

"!!!" Qiao Xiaoyun.

The former frowned, his eyes showing surprise, but he managed to keep his composure.

They even had the leisure to wonder when they had ever let her wear ripped clothes?

The latter was completely devastated.

"Oh my goodness!"

"My goodness!"

"I'm afraid I'm going crazy, or maybe I'm blind."

Qiao Xiaoyun covered her forehead with one hand and leaned against the wall with the other, looking weak and about to faint.

Otherwise, how could she have witnessed such an unbelievable scene!

She was shocked to see a bubble popping up on her little niece's forehead!

One bubble!!!

What's even more outrageous is that there was a little niece inside the little bubble!

Small, soft, and absolutely adorable!!!
