Chapter 103 The Chen Family's Aftermath
Reading Settings
No one objected to this decision.
Even if some people are clueless, they don't dare to bring it up in public. Instead, those who understand the situation will drag them to a secluded place and give them a good talking-to.
After all, who doesn't know that these were all obtained thanks to the blessing of the "Chicken God"?
As for the Chicken God, currently only members of the Qiao family can see it!
What if we offend the Qiao family and they stop taking us into the mountains in the future?
Do you still want to get some benefits from this?
Therefore, no one objected to this decision.
Qiao Kun and his group of kids had even less objection. They never expected that what they originally just wanted to do was go into the mountains with Qiao Kun and his friends to hunt some rabbits, but who would have thought it would turn into such a big deal.
Adult wild boars are much larger than domestic pigs, averaging 300 jin (150 kg). There were eight of them, so they could each get almost 30 jin (15 kg) of meat on average!
They couldn't even imagine how happy their families would be if they brought this meat back home, and how wonderful this year's annual meeting would be.
That afternoon, the entire Qiao Family Village was exceptionally lively and festive, with everyone wearing an irrepressible smile.
As Qiao Qiao watched the villagers busily preparing the pig-slaughtering feast, she listened intently as Fang Zhengnan, Mo Wenpei, and Li Wenyan recounted the events that had transpired in their families over the past year.
They glanced at the boy sitting beside them, who seemed completely out of place in their small rural town.
The boy, around twelve or thirteen years old, seemed to have a particular fondness for light-colored clothes and shoes.
She was wearing a long, sky-blue down jacket, a blue and white cashmere scarf around her neck, and white sneakers.
It perfectly embodies the phrase "refined and wealthy".
What Qiao Qiao admired most was the other person's white sneakers. In their place, where the roads weren't even paved and were just muddy, especially in winter when there was mud everywhere, they were still kept clean!
It's truly unbelievable!
The girl came back with her uncle and aunt.
My uncle said that he was the son of a colleague named Feng Cheng, and that this trip was to take him to another place, passing through Hongfeng Town.
Judging from the attitude of the driver and another young soldier who were traveling with him towards this person, the Qiao family could guess that he was probably not a colleague's son, but rather the son of a leader.
Qiao Qiao didn't think too much about the adults. Looking at the other person's affectionate peach blossom eyes, she just felt that they looked familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before.
I can't remember it right now.
At this moment, Li Wenyan and her two sisters-in-law were already talking about the scandal that Chen Yulian had caused a while ago.
Upon hearing this, Li Wenyan immediately said with heartache, "If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have insisted on taking Guai Guai with us to Kyoto. That way, we wouldn't have suffered all this for nothing."
Mo Wenpei and Fang Zhengnan just smiled when they heard this.
There was neither rebuttal nor agreement.
Because everyone knows that this is impossible.
There's no way Qiao Changdong would agree to that. Even when they wanted to help take care of Qiao Qiao, and they were so close by, able to see her whenever they wanted, Qiao Changdong refused.
Not to mention the first wife and her husband, who lived so far away, there's no way Qiao Changdong would agree to that.
Moreover, Li Wenyan wasn't even from here; she was a native of Beijing, someone Qiao Changqing met in the army.
They didn't know her specific family background, but they heard that her parents were both civil servants, and that she herself was in a cultural troupe and held a leadership position.
When Qiao Changqing met Li Wenyan, his foundation was already damaged.
However, Li Wenyan disregarded her family's objections and insisted on following him.
The couple has been childless for many years.
Later, Qiao Changdong found Qiao Qiao. Li Wenyan followed Qiao Changqing back to visit relatives. When she first saw Qiao Qiao, Qiao Qiao was not even a year old.
The little girl is so beautiful and adorable, who wouldn't love her?
Especially for someone like Li Wenyan who couldn't have children because of Qiao Changqing, she talked to Qiao Changdong countless times, and even Qiao's grandmother tried to persuade him, but Qiao Changdong just wouldn't budge.
Li Wenyan even secretly taught Qiao Qiao to call her "Big Mom".
And to be honest...
It's definitely better for Qiao Qiao to stay with the eldest son and his wife than with Qiao Changdong.
There's an old saying: "Scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants; the rich can't compare to the powerful."
Qiao Changdong had neither power nor money.
No matter how much he loved Qiao Qiao, his social status had already limited the girl's future prospects.
Following the eldest son's family means, at the very least, leaving this small mountain village behind and becoming a city girl, which will make it easier for her to find a husband from a higher social class.
However, this matter cannot be discussed in such a way.
It depends on fate.
It was Qiao Changdong who found Qiao Qiao, not Qiao Changqing or Li Wenyan.
Qiao Qiao, too, has been inseparable from Qiao Changdong since she was a child. No amount of coaxing or deception can change her mind; she just wants to stay with her father.
Upon hearing Li Wenyan's words, Qiao Qiao, like her two aunts, remained silent, simply sitting obediently in the woman's lap, listening to them continue their casual conversation.
"So, does that mean Chen Yulian's child belongs to that family called Tie Niu?" Li Wenyan asked.
"I really don't know," Mo Wenpei replied uncertainly.
Whether it was because he thought it was dirty or simply because he felt it was embarrassing, Qiao Changdong didn't tell his family about it.
But from what she heard, it seemed that Chan Yuk-lin had affairs with more than one man.
It's really hard to say whose child this is.
Fang Zhengnan said, "A few days ago, Chen Yulian and Qiao Tieniu were arrested. There was no one to take care of the child. Some people said they saw Chen Yulian's mother and her sister send the child to Qiao Tieniu's house. Not only were the two of them beaten by Wang Chunlan, but the child was also thrown out."
"Huh? He was really thrown out? Is the child still alive?" Li Wenyan's eyes widened in surprise.
"Hahaha, sister-in-law, how can you be so funny? Hahahaha..." Mo Wenpei was amused by Li Wenyan's serious expression and laughed heartily, bending over backward with laughter.
Fang Zhengnan also smiled.
Li Wenyan looked at the two women with a puzzled expression. She rarely wentssiped and couldn't understand what the two sisters-in-law were laughing about.
Fang Zhengnan explained with a smile, "Sister-in-law, it doesn't really mean throwing him out. It just means that Wang Chunlan doesn't accept the child."
"So that's what it meant. You scared me! I thought they really threw the child out." Li Wenyan said, then laughed out loud.
The three women were laughing for a while, then suddenly stopped laughing.
At the same time, he looked at the little bubble that suddenly popped up on Qiao Qiao's forehead.
At the very top of the little bubble, several large red characters flashed: 【Little Qiaoqiao's School is Now Open!】
