Lin Chunxia paused.
He then said with some hesitation, "Perhaps you could find the village maggot, get some medicine from him, and then find an opportunity to gag the child directly..."
As she continued speaking, Lin Chunxia's voice grew softer and softer.
only.
What the couple didn't know was that no matter how soft their voices were...
Qiao Qiao and Xiao Yuan, who lived in the neighboring bungalow, still heard it.
In this unfamiliar place, Qiao Qiao and Xiao Yuan both opened up their five senses. With the increase of their spiritual power, she could hear everything that happened within a 200-meter radius.
I overheard the couple's whispered conversation.
Qiao Qiao, who was sitting on Tan Qian's bed, frowned tightly as she watched Tan Qian fold little stars for her.
Those two are really wicked.
She wanted to tell Aunt Dou how kind Aunt Dou was to them because of what happened back then.
However, before Qiao Qiao could even climb off Tan Qian's bed, she saw a little old man, leaning on a cane, his small eyes shining brightly, taking small steps to the door.
Seeing her was like seeing some rare and exotic species.
"???" Qiao Qiao.
"Little girl, little girl, I heard you're that stubborn old man's granddaughter?" the old man asked excitedly.
After asking the question, he didn't wait for Qiao Qiao's reply.
He started muttering to himself again, "Oh my, I never thought that stubborn old man would be so lucky to have such a beautiful granddaughter. Tsk, he treasures his two little granddaughters like they're the most precious things. If they saw you, they'd be ecstatic."
Upon hearing about the two little granddaughters, Qiao Qiao realized that the old man Tan in front of her was probably referring to the grandfather she had cut ties with from her biological father.
Qiao Qiao despises Shen Lu and Shen Li, who inherited her heart and kidneys in her previous life.
Similarly, she didn't like her adoptive grandfather, who was very kind to the two sisters.
He had been rude to her on the phone earlier!
They also said the twins were innocent.
Qiao Qiao pouted, feeling extremely angry.
She wouldn't acknowledge a grandfather who couldn't distinguish right from wrong.
Her father was right. May he and that family of scoundrels be reunited!
"That's not my grandpa." The little girl pouted, looking like she didn't really want to talk about the topic.
Old Master Tan's eyes lit up even more, and he asked impatiently, "What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Is there some inside story?
Go and have a good talk with the old man.
Qiao Qiao puffed out her cheeks but didn't say anything.
It wasn't that she wanted to deliberately hide it; it was just that the matter involved too many things and was too troublesome to explain.
"Speak, what's wrong?" Although the old man tried his best to suppress it, there was still a sense of urgency in his voice.
Qiao Qiao frowned slightly and looked at him suspiciously.
Then I noticed that the old man's eyes were incredibly bright.
"..." Qiao Qiao.
On his forehead, where no one could see, a tiny bubble popped out.
The little figure inside the bubble, with chubby arms crossed, glanced at the little old man in front of him from head to toe, his eyes filled with utter disdain.
This makes me wonder: Are all old men this gossipy these days?!
The gossipy old man had no idea that the young girl had thoroughly disliked him.
He kept urging, "Oh dear, why aren't you saying anything? Tell me, tell Grandpa!"
Qiao Qiao didn't want to talk about it.
She climbed off Tan Qian's bed with her little bottom sticking out and walked towards the kitchen.
Grandpa Tan got anxious and followed closely behind, asking questions.
Tan Yan, who was folding paper guns from scraps of old paper, couldn't help but chime in, "Grandpa, you look like a nagging old woman."
"Who is Niu Bapo?" Old Master Tan turned around, his eyes filled with hostility.
Tan Yan was completely oblivious to his grandfather's dangerous gaze and continued chattering away.
"She lives right next to Uncle Niu's, Grandma Niu. Everyone in the compound says that Grandma Niu is a real gossip, so they call her Grandma Niu the Gossip."
"..." Old Master Tan.
Old Master Tan roared, "You brat, who are you talking about!"
Tan Yan had already run away when Old Master Tan got angry.
Qiao Qiao shuffled along in Tan Qian's slippers, which were way too big for her, and as she reached the kitchen door, she smelled a sweet aroma.
Dou Yufeng was chopping vegetables, while Jiang Xinyue was stirring something with a spoon in front of a coal stove.
Upon hearing footsteps, both of them turned around.
Dou Yufeng laughed and waved to her, "My dear, you're here! Perfect timing. Let Auntie taste this pork rib soup and see if it's salty enough."
As she spoke, she got up and went to the wooden cupboard, took out a small bowl, and ladled a bowl of white radish and pork rib soup for her.
The purpose was to taste the saltiness, but this bowl of soup contained only two or three slices of white radish, and the rest was all pork ribs, specifically baby back ribs.
Clearly, she was just looking for an excuse to treat Qiao Qiao to a special meal.
Jiang Xinyue smiled, said nothing, and turned back to continue chopping vegetables.
Qiao Qiao originally came over to talk to Dou Yufeng about Lin Chunxia, but in the end she moved a small stool over and sat down to eat her special meal.
Tan Yan, who was following behind, looked on with longing and muttered softly, "Mom, I also want to try the saltiness of the ribs."
Dou Yufeng immediately glared at him, annoyed: "You look like a piece of rib to me, do you want me to cut you?"
"..." Tan Yan.
She pouted and whimpered pitifully.
But Dou Yufeng ignored him and instead smiled sweetly, asking Qiao Qiao, who had blown on the soup a few times before putting it in her mouth with a spoon, "Sweetie, is it good?"
Qiao Qiao nodded: "It's delicious, especially delicious. Aunt Dou's cooking is amazing."
Qiao Qiao wasn't lying; it really does taste good.
White radishes harvested from the ground after the first frost in winter are especially sweet. When stewed with pork ribs, the broth is clear and sweet.
The ribs were also delicious, tender and flavorful.
"You have such a sweet tongue, then drink slowly." Dou Yufeng was flattered by her words and smiled broadly.
He turned around and went back to his work.
Qiao Qiao sat in the main room, beckoning to Tan Yan, who looked aggrieved, with her little hand, and whispered, "Brother Xiao Yan, go get a bowl, I'll share half with you."
Tan Yan's eyes lit up instantly, and he ran to the wooden cabinet to get a small bowl.
Qiao Qiao gave half of it to them.
"It's so delicious!" Tan Yan exclaimed repeatedly as he bit into half a rib.
The sound attracted Dou Yufeng's attention in the kitchen. She opened her mouth, as if to scold her.
But looking at the little girl sitting on the small stool, her eyes crinkling as she smiled at her, she swallowed back the angry rebuke that was about to come out.
While drinking the pork rib soup, Qiao Qiao pondered how to tell Dou Yufeng about Lin Chunxia.
She didn't know if Dou Yufeng would believe her if she told her.
Furthermore, it might expose one's own abnormality.
Although Dou Yufeng was her mother's good friend, they weren't very close. She knew that the other woman's affection for her was mostly due to her mother's love for Dou Yufeng.
