Chapter 71 The Hunt for the Chen Family and the Moment of the Adulterer (1)
Reading Settings
Chen Xiu'e, who was standing nearby, saw Chen Yulian's face suddenly turn pale. This was because Qiao Changdong had lowered his voice and there was a lot of noise around, so she hadn't heard him for a moment.
She was a little worried that Qiao Changdong might break through Chen Yulian's psychological defenses, so she gave a look to Chen Tieping and Chen Xiping, who were waiting for her to give them a signal.
The two brothers immediately stepped forward to pull Qiao Changdong away.
But before his hand could touch Qiao Changdong, he suddenly felt a strong gust of wind behind him, or rather, three gusts of force.
These three forces seemed to be directed at specific individuals, one towards Chen Xiu'e and the other towards her two brothers.
It blew them all backward, causing them to stumble and fall several steps until they all landed on their bottoms.
Qiao Changdong looked at the three people who suddenly fell down with some surprise. When he turned around, he saw his precious daughter with her little bottom sticking out, rushing over like a little firecracker.
After rushing up to him, she spread her little hands as wide as possible, like a chick protecting its mother hen, stretching out its tender little wings, and fiercely uttering harsh words to everyone.
"Don't bully my dad! Don't bully my dad! Don't bully my dad!"
She shouted three times in a row, her little eyes were so fierce, and she bared her little white teeth, as if she would bite off a piece of flesh from anyone who dared to take a step forward to bully her father!
It's fierce!
Old hen Qiao Changdong looked at Mingming, who was so small, yet was trying her best to stretch out her little arms to protect her little daughter.
I just felt that heart.
It was a mix of pain, sourness, and sweetness!
A myriad of feelings welled up in my heart.
This is his precious treasure.
His most precious treasure in his life!
"This...this is Qiaoqiao?" Someone recognized her and exclaimed in surprise.
"I know this child is good-looking, but he's never been this good before..."
The person who said this wasn't very cultured and didn't know how to describe it, but she just felt that Qiao Qiao's beauty exceeded her comprehension.
"Wow, this is so beautiful!"
"..."
"What are you doing!"
Just as the villagers were marveling at how beautiful Qiao's youngest daughter had become, a sound that almost screamed "I'm going to do the splits!" suddenly came from outside the door.
Qiao Xiaoyun rushed over with a grim expression, picked up the long wooden stick used to bolt the gate at the entrance of the courtyard, and stood in front of Qiao Qiao and Qiao Changdong holding it up.
She pointed at Chen Tieping and Chen Xiping on the ground with a wooden stick: "What are you doing! What are you doing! What are you all doing in my house!"
"Are you going to resort to violence? Let me tell you, I learned a few moves from my sister-in-law! Don't think you can bully us just because my brothers aren't home right now!"
“If you dare to lay a finger on my brother or my niece, I’ll have my husband arrest you all and put you in jail. I mean it.”
When Qiao Xiaoyun went to the hospital this morning, she learned from her colleagues that Chen Yulian had been discharged before dawn, and she knew things were going to get bad.
She rushed back in a panic and found that the Chen family had arrived at her house, and a group of villagers were surrounding her younger brother and her niece.
They thought the men were taking advantage of the fact that no one was home, and they were so angry that their eyes turned red.
To avoid giving Meng Zhengcheng anything to talk about, Qiao Xiaoyun never brought up his identity.
Now we're really in a hurry.
They were afraid that the two Chen brothers would bully their own family.
"Yes! Arrest them all! Arrest them all!" Qiao Qiao mimicked Qiao Xiaoyun, furrowing her brows as she tried to make her most ferocious expression.
only--
A three-and-a-half-year-old toddler.
The little baby hasn't given up malted milk powder and still speaks with a babyish voice.
How vicious can it be?
Qiao Changdong didn't even care about the occasion. He picked up the little girl who was standing with her hands on her chubby waist, trying to scare away the bad guys and protect him, and kissed her hard twice.
"My goodness, how can you be so cute! Hahaha..." He laughed heartily.
Qiao Qiao blinked.
Her brows were still furrowed.
Lowering her voice, she leaned close to Qiao Changdong's ear and whispered words of advice, trying to get him to take things seriously and unite against external threats.
"Dad, let's kiss later. It's more important to chase away the bad guys now."
"Yes, yes, yes, baby is right! Let's chase away the bad guys first, and Daddy will wait for you to protect him." Qiao Changdong couldn't stop laughing.
"..." Qiao Qiao, Qiao Xiaoyun.
The atmosphere instantly collapsed.
The three Chen siblings on the ground looked completely bewildered.
I don't know how they suddenly ended up lying on the ground. Where did that gust of wind come from?
They looked around blankly, only to find that everyone else in the courtyard was also looking at them strangely.
Someone asked, "Chen family, what are you doing? Why are you all sitting on the ground for no reason?"
Chen Tieping is usually rather dull. At home, he basically listens to his mother, and outside he listens to Chen Xiue and Chen Yulian.
She has the kind of "honest" nature where she'll do whatever the woman in the family tells her to do.
Upon hearing the man's question, he blurted out, "We were just blown over by a gust of wind, didn't you feel it?"
"A gust of wind?"
What kind of wind is that?
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
They didn't even notice.
The way they looked at the three members of the Chen family couldn't help but take on a strange glint in their eyes.
Are these three siblings mentally unstable?
Does he/she have a mental illness?
Everyone stepped back a little, looking disgusted.
"What kind of wind could it be? Besides the Chen family's wicked wind, what other wind could it be?" Grandma Qiao, wearing rubber overshoes and carrying a basket of fresh sweet potato vines, returned at some point.
She was now standing at the entrance of her yard, holding a bunch of jujubes in one hand and a modified sickle with a long handle for cutting pig feed in the other, coldly watching the villagers who had almost filled her yard.
Seeing the long sickle in Grandma Qiao's hand, many people in the yard subconsciously swallowed.
The old man, in particular, who had tried to escalate the conflict and make everyone blame Qiao Changdong, changed his expression several times, his eyes filled with even more hatred.
Compared to Qiao Xiaoyun's unreliable threats, it was clear that the sickle in Grandma Qiao's hand was more convincing.
Many of the people standing in the Qiao family courtyard now are people who witnessed Grandma Qiao's ruthlessness back then.
Grandma Qiao was not particularly domineering or fierce in the village. She was rather quiet and reserved, and rarely visited other people's homes or gathered at the village entrance with other elderly women of the same age to gossip about others.
They seemed to have become marginalized in the village.
But as soon as she steps into a crowd, her presence becomes instantly amplified.
That's how it is now.
Many people who had just been looking forward to watching the Qiao family's antics and even stirring up trouble, subconsciously avoided Grandma Qiao's gaze and slipped into the crowd.
