Chapter 254 Push them to their deaths!
Reading Settings
Qiao Qiao was held in Qiao Changdong's arms.
He felt that no one paid attention to him.
She glanced at the kumquat trees in front of her and couldn't resist the temptation. She furtively stretched her neck, looked around, and then, thinking she had gotten away with it, reached out her little hand and plucked a small kumquat.
With its little head buried, it was peeling off the skin with great effort.
After peeling it, I broke it in half and stuffed it into my little mouth.
She assumed that such bright red tangerines must be sweet.
As soon as the orange entered her mouth, she felt a shiver run through her body from the sourness, and her chubby face contorted into a grimace.
Qiao Changdong was talking to Qiao Changcai, but his attention was not taken away from Qiao Qiao.
Seeing her reaction, I was also surprised for a moment.
Forgive him for being a country bumpkin who didn't know that oranges are sour.
He was about to reach out and place his hand in front of the little girl to make her spit it out when he saw that even though the little girl's eyebrows were twisted into caterpillars from the sourness, she still tilted her little head up and smiled sweetly at him.
She even told him, "Dad, you eat this, it's super sweet!"
The little figure inside the bubble above his head had curved eyebrows and a mischievous grin on its face as it looked at him.
"..." Qiao Changdong.
When did this little guy become so mischievous!
Qiao Changdong was both annoyed and amused.
Even though I knew it was the little one's prank, I still couldn't bear to disappoint her.
He pretended not to know anything, took the orange pulp from her palm, and put it in his mouth.
"Hiss..." Qiao Changdong's eyes narrowed with soreness.
"Hahahaha... Daddy's so stupid, hahaha..."
Seeing that others had fallen for her scam, the little girl laughed even harder.
The little figure inside the bubble above its head chuckled, then clutched its belly and put its hands on its chubby waist, laughing heartily, perfectly demonstrating what it means to laugh uproariously.
Qiao Changdong smiled too.
I was just amused by the little guy's reaction.
He pulled her out of his military overcoat, kissed her rosy cheeks with a kiss, and asked helplessly, "Are you that happy to be able to fool your dad?"
Qiao Qiao chuckled, and the little figure on her head also beamed with joy.
Just as Qiao Changdong was about to say something more, he suddenly heard a heart-wrenching scream from behind him.
"Thief! Thief! Someone help me, damn it..."
Qiao Changdong frowned and subconsciously hugged the small body in front of him tighter. At the same time, he turned his head to look behind him, but the crowd was so dense that he could only vaguely see a few figures running.
Upon hearing this noise...
Yan Liti, who was paying the bill inside, also ran out immediately.
Seeing his beloved granddaughter being held safely in Qiao Changdong's arms, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I feel relieved.
She was also in the mood to watch the excitement.
She stood next to Qiao Changdong, tiptoed, and looked in the direction of the crowd.
"This happens several times a day in the market. You all need to be careful. Those thieves operate in gangs, and ordinary people simply can't handle them."
"If you are robbed, don't chase after them relentlessly if you can't catch them. Those people are inhuman. A while ago, a guy was chasing a thief into a quiet alley and got stabbed several times. He almost lost his life."
The flower shop owner appeared behind the three of them at some point and whispered instructions to Qiao Changdong and Yan Liti.
So brutal?
Upon hearing the flower shop owner's words, Qiao Changdong and Yan Liti both frowned.
At this point, Qiao Qiao had already opened her five senses to investigate the situation.
She saw a middle-aged woman, probably around forty years old, shouting "Thief!" and panting as she chased after someone running ahead of her, heading in their direction.
But strangely, Qiao Qiao saw at least four or five people running in the direction that the aunt was chasing.
There were men and women, old and young, and she couldn't tell which one was the thief that the middle-aged woman was chasing and shouting at.
She opened her five senses, intending to help, but now she was unsure and could only crane her neck and observe.
Just as she was wondering who the thief was, a young man seemed to have spotted something, his eyes lit up, and the next second he pounced in their direction.
"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!" The young man shouted excitedly at Qiao Changdong, and then opened his arms and rushed towards Qiao Changdong.
Qiao Changdong and Qiao Qiao recognized each other at a glance.
It is Chen Xiping.
Chen Yu-lian's third brother, Chen Xi-ping.
Since Qiao Changdong and Chen Yulian divorced, Qiao Qiao has not seen the Chen family again.
At first, Chen's mother also made a scene at the entrance of the Qiao family's courtyard.
However, one day Chen's mother saw Pei Anting coming and going from the Qiao family home. Perhaps because he had done too many bad things, he never came again after that.
Qiao Qiao hadn't paid much attention to the Chen family's activities; she only knew that Chen Yulian and Qiao Tieniu from the village entrance had been arrested and imprisoned.
Before she went to jail, her father sued her for child abuse, and she paid him a large sum of money, including the living expenses he had given her.
As for the child born to Chen Yulian, it seems that Chen Xiu'e sent it to Qiao Tieniu's house, but Wang Chunlan threw it out, and its whereabouts became unknown afterward.
Qiao Qiao had also heard villagers talking about how the policies had been relaxed a bit in recent years. Back in the 1970s, Chen Yulian and Qiao Tieniu would have been executed.
Even just going to jail would be enough to make Chan Yuk-lin suffer.
Qiao Qiao never expected to run into Chen Xiping here today, especially in this way.
Chen Xiping clearly did not expect to run into Qiao Changdong here.
Chen's mother had four children, and he was the third oldest, two years older than Chen Yulian, but he was the only one who was still unmarried.
The original plan was to wait until Chen Yulian gave birth to a son and took over the management of the Qiao family, and then allocate a portion of the three thousand yuan that the Qiao family had given Qiao Qiao as a dowry to find him a partner.
The cost of hosting the banquet also has to come from this 3,000 yuan.
result.
Not only did they not get a single penny of that three thousand yuan, the Chen family was also extorted for a huge sum of money!
Qiao Changdong demanded a full 500 yuan from Chen Yulian. Where would Chen Yulian get that much money? It was all scraped together by her parents.
Now, because of this incident involving Chan Yuk-lin, he can't even think about finding a partner.
The reputation of the entire Chen family and the surrounding villages has been ruined!
Anyone who sees them will shake their head and avoid them from a distance.
It's as if touching it would bring bad luck.
Chen Xiping felt that the culprit behind all of this was Qiao Changdong. If it weren't for his meddling, their Chen family wouldn't have ended up like this.
He hated Qiao Changdong.
It's just a child, isn't it?
Is it really necessary to push the Chen family to their doom like this?
They really don't remember any past kindnesses at all!
