In midst of two younger brothers' reluctance, Da Qiao got into the car and left.
This was her first ti in a car. She was extrely curious.
She leaned against her grandmother and touched the leather pad under her butt with her little hand. Then she touched the glass window again. Everything was so novel.
The car was fast. Usually it took about two hours to walk. Now it took half an hour.
Shen Family got up early in the morning and waited. Shen Tian You purposely put on new clothes and combed his hair back. He looked in the mirror, thinking he was very handso!
Once the the car arrived, Shen Tian You imdiately ran up: "Elder Sister Da Qiao, you're finally here. I almost fell asleep from waiting!"
Da Qiao got off the car, saw his big push back hair and comnted, "Younger Brother Tian You, you don't seem to be the sa as before?"
Shen Tian You raised his chin and asked confidently, "Elder Sister Da Qiao, don't you think I look good today?"
He deliberately stole his dad's hair oil and combed this hairstyle. He felt that he was the most beautiful boy in the whole street now!
Da Qiao pursed her lips and vaguely answered, "You do."
Truthfully, she felt that Younger Brother Tian You looked like he was a few years older. But under Younger Brother Tian You's expectant gaze, she couldn't really make herself hurt his self-confidence.
Hearing this, Shen Tian You imdiately beca even happier: "Elder Sister Da Qiao, you really have the sa taste as ! Co in, I'll show you my room!"
There were a lot of toys and snacks in his room. He can't wait to show it to Elder Sister Da Qiao. Unfortunately "Elder Sister Eagle" can't co. Otherwise it will be more fun.
Qin Xiao i hit her child and lectured, "You child. Your Elder Sister Da Qiao just ca over. Can't you let her catch a breath before deciding anything!"
After she finished speaking, she imdiately revealed a smile that couldn't be any more gentler: "Da Qiao, you guys are here! Godmother misses you dearly!"
"I misses Godmother too." Da Qiao raised her head and softly responded. Then she politely greeted everyone in Shen Family.
"Grandpa Shen, Granny Shen, Godfather, Auntie Shen, how are you? I'm Da Qiao. My grandmother and I have co to visit Shen's house for two days. We troubled you!"
Hearing the small dumpling saying such adult words, everyone was startled for a while. Then they couldn't help grinning.
Seeing everyone smiling, Da Qiao curled her lips into a shy expression.
Old Madam Shen looked at the little girl in front of her. Rosy and tender face, big eyes and red mouth. So delicate and beautiful as the people in the painting.
She finally understood why her daughter-in-law insisted on recognizing this little girl as her goddaughter. She looked good, was well-behaved and had a sweet mouth. Who wouldn't like her when they saw her?
In fact, Da Qiao didn't understand why the jade bead water's effect was more obvious on her than on her family when they drank it together.
Qiao Xiu Zhi also got out of the car. When she heard Da Qiao's words, the corners of her mouth curved up.
This child always surprised her.
She handed over the dry goods and fresh vegetables that she brought. There was also a double-sided embroidery of flowers and rich peony embroidered by Xue Chuan. Since the family conditions were limited, there was no fra.
"Auntie Qiao, why are you so polite! Just coming in person is enough!" Qin Xiao i really didn't expect the other party to be so polite. When she saw the double-sided embroidery inside, she couldn't help but exclaid.
Old Madam Shen changed her usual slow steady attitude, took the double-sided embroidery from her daughter-in-law's hand, and exclaid with admiration, "I haven't seen such exquisite double-sided embroidery for decades!"
Shen Family gathered around to look at the double-sided embroidery. The stitches on it were ticulous and neat and the patterns were exquisite and lifelike. It was indeed a fine work.
After old Madam Shen finished admiring it, she pushed it back and said, "This gift is too precious. Younger Sister Xiu Zhi, you should take it back. We can't accept it!"
Qiao Xiu Zhi replied, "Last ti, you guys gave Da Qiao a gold pendant. It's a courtesy. Please accept it."
The gold pendant Qin Xiao i took off her son's neck last ti was worth a lot of money. But with so many people present at that ti, it was difficult for her to give the double-sided embroidery to Shen Family as a gift. The other two daughters-in-law would definitely have opinions.
When it ca to human interaction, there must be give and take. One can't blindly let the other party to only give. Such a relationship will not last long.
Before Da Qiao ca, she didn't know that her grandmother had brought such a double-sided embroidery over. At this ti, she knew how precious the double-sided embroidery was by everyone's expression.
She knew that her grandmother was doing all this for her. Her heart instantly ward.
She walked over and grasped her grandmother's hand, "Grandmother, I truly truly love you!"
Qiao Xiu Zhi reached out and rubbed her head: "Silly child."
Although Shen Family had only been in contact with Qiao Xiu Zhi two or three tis, they knew that she was a one-of-a-kind character. Never liked pretentious act. So after a mont of hesitation, they accepted the double-sided embroidery.
They have jotted down this affection. They will be more good to Da Qiao in the future!
Shen Tian You didn't know what double-sided embroidery is. He was in a hurry to pull Da Qiao in: " Elder Sister Da Qiao, co in with . I'll show you my family's yard!"
Da Qiao was pulled into running.
Shen Family had four bedrooms and one living room with a yard. Although the yard wasn't very big, it was in a town. Many families of seven or eight were crowded into a room of about twenty square ters. This shows how rich Shen Family was.
There wasn't anything like a rockery in the yard. It was a capitalist style. Even Shen Family didn't dare to have any rebellious style.
There were a lot of flowers planted in the yard. It was currently the end of spring and early sumr, which was the season of blooming flowers.
As soon as one enter, one can see the colorful flowers laying in front of them. The fragrance of flowers gushed out.
"It's so beautiful!" Da Qiao exclaid when she saw the flowers in the yard.
Shen Tian You said very proudly: "My grandfather planted them. Which pot do you fancy? When you go back, take it back!"
There were several pots of very precious orchids. When old Mister Shen, who ca in behind, heard his grandson's words, he was so angry that his beard twitched.
Fortunately, Da Qiao wasn't a shallow-eyed person. She waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no. I'm just going to look around."
Seeing that Da Qiao wasn't a bear child, old Mister Shen breathed a sigh of relief and ca over, "Little girl, if you like it, I'll get you so seeds when you go ho. You can grow them yourself."
From the start, he casually remarked this. After all, such a small child was impatient to grow flowers and plants.
Who knew that Da Qiao considered this seriously: "Grandpa Shen, what kind of flowers easy to care for?"
There was only one pear tree planted in the yard at ho. A bit monotonous. If they can plant so flowers and the like, it will definitely look good!
Old Mister Shen stroked his beard and thought for a while, "Jasmine is good. Bittersweet rose can work. If these two kinds of flowers are planted, the buds can be dried to make scented tea."
Da Qiao's eyes lit up: "Grandpa Shen, then I will plant these two kinds of flowers. Thank you!"
"Treat here as your ho in the future. You don't have to be so polite all the ti."
There had always been only one grandson in the family. Now there was a sweet, soft, very well-behaved, and sensible little girl, old Mister Shen's indestructible heart instantly softened.
Although old Mister Shen wasn't in good health, he could speak loudly. Since Shen Tian You was born, he was used to his grandfather talking to him in a loud voice.
At this mont, he suddenly heard his grandfather speak in a low and harmonious voice. It made his feet stagger under him and almost fall to the ground!
So scary. After his mom and aunt's abnormal behavior, now it was his grandfather's turn!
Fortunately, his mind was simple. He won't be jealous of Da Qiao because of this. Since his family liked Da Qiao, he was delighted.
Shen Tian You took Da Qiao to look around. He introduced her to Shen Family's yard and rooms before taking her to his room. He took out all the candy and snacks prepared in the morning to share with her.
At the end, he held a small eagle toy and spoke, "Elder Sister Da Qiao, don't you think this is very similar to 'Elder Sister Eagle'?"
Da Qiao had never seen an eagle. So she asked honestly, "What animal is this?"
"This is an eagle. That's why I asked you if it is very similar to Elder Sister Ying, right?" Shen Tian You flew the eagle around the air.
Da Qiao was stunned: "..."
She really couldn't see any similarity between Second Elder Cousin Sister and this eagle.
Shen Tian You didn't need her to answer either. After playing enough, he shoved the eagle into her hand and stated, "Take the eagle back to my Elder Sister Ying. Say that her younger brother is paying filial piety to her!"
Da Qiao almost burst out laughing.
Even filial piety had ca out. He was so imrsed in the play!
Qiao Xiu Zhi had seen the wealth of Shen family last ti. Especially after comparing with Chu Family, she was more aware of this.
Chu Tian Bai was the deputy county magistrate of Nanshan County. He surpassed Shen Shi Kai, the deputy director of the police station. However, Chu Tian Bai only lived in the governnt agency's family housing. Which contained two bedroom and a living room. It couldn't compare with Shen Family's.
After the greeting, Qiao Xiu Zhi asked them about the house prices in the town.
Hearing this, Qin Xiao i asked, "Auntie Qiao, do you want to buy a house in the town? How big do you want to buy?"
If Qiao Family wanted to move to the town, it would be a good thing. She would be able to see Da Qiao often in the future.
It was just that Qiao Family had a large population. If they want to buy it, they must buy at least five rooms, right?
In fact, five rooms can't accommodate them. It was one branch one room. Adults and children all crowded together. It will definitely be very inconvenient. The most important factor, if all Qiao Family moved to the town, how would they make a living?
As far as she knew, only Qiao Zhen Min in Qiao Family was working as a temporary worker in the town's supply and demand cooperative.
Although she had a lot of questions in her heart, she didn't voice them out. After all, the two families weren't very familiar with each other.
Qiao Xiu Zhi didn't plan to hide it: "We plan to buy a single room. If it is cheap, we can also buy a small two-bedroom. After the house is bought, it will be put in Da Qiao's na."
Shen Family was shocked when they heard this.
They knew Shen Family wasn't a patriarchal-minded family. Still, a son was raised guard against old age. No matter which family, it will be sons who provided old age care in the future, unless there were no sons.
So if Qiao Xiu Zhi bought a house and wrote down a son's na, or the only grandson's na, they didn't find it strange. It was too weird to write it in the granddaughter's na, right?
And the rest of Qiao Family. Wouldn't they have any opinions in their minds?
Qiao Xiu Zhi wouldn't tell them about the century old Ganoderma lucidum. She just indifferently stated: "I have already told my family about this matter. I should have co to buy it so ti ago. But little Wan'er was missing at that ti and got delayed until now."
Shen Family listened to her intention and were very understanding and didn't get to the bottom of it.
Qin Xiao i pondered for a while and responded, "I have a younger cousin brother who happens to be working in the house managent. I'll call him later to see if there is a suitable house."
Qiao Xiu Zhi expressed her gratitude: "I've troubled you. It's no hurry. Da Qiao is still small."
Chatters and laughter passed and it was soon ti for lunch.
Shen Family was still very enthusiastic and prepared a large table of good dishes to greet them.
There were Kung Pao Chicken, Braised Duck with Potatoes, Saucy Pork knuckle, Shrimp Fried Chinese Cabbage, Vegetarian Fried Shreds, and a large pot of old hen ginseng soup.
Shen Tian You jumped back and forth with excitent: "Elder Sister Da Qiao, if you co here every day, I can eat so much delicious food every day!"
Hearing his childish words, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Qin Xiao i liked Da Qiao very much. She knew it was impossible, but she still couldn't help but ask her, "Da Qiao, do you like it here?"
Da Qiao blinked her long eyelashes and softly replied, "I like it. The house here is very beautiful. There is running water and electric lights. The flowers in the yard are also very beautiful!"
Tap water and electricity had been popularized in towns, but not in rural areas. So this was Da Qiao's first ti seeing tap water and electricity. It had greatly opened her country bumpkin's eyes!
Qin Xiao i struck while the iron was hot, "Then do you want to move to town and live with Godmother?"
Da Qiao shook her head. The two small tails on her head swayed with her movents: "I like everyone very much. But I want to live with my parents and my grandparents. I will be sad if I can't see them."
Qin Xiao i had always liked a little girl. Seeing that pretty and sensible Da Qiao, she had the urge to hide her and never let her leave.
It would be great if Da Qiao was her daughter.
...
After eating, Qin Xiao i and Shen Lin Lin took Da Qiao and Shen Tian You to the departnt store to buy things.
Qiao Xiu Zhi joined them.
Sumr was coming. She wanted to buy so fabrics back to make so clothes for Xue Chuan. As for the others, they had already given 20 yuan to each branch for them to buy themselves. She didn't need to be concerned!
They arrived at the departnt store. With the company of Shen Family, the attitude of the salesperson was completely different from last ti. Warm smiles were on their face.
Several salespeople recognized Qiao Xiu Zhi. Mainly because the last ti was too morable.
With one hand, she raised a cabinet that can only be moved by three n. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it even if they got beaten to death!
It was fortunate that she took action. Otherwise lives would be in danger. Three n who moved the good would be finished!
Qin Xiao i sincerely treated Da Qiao as her daughter. First, she took her to the stationery store and bought her a set of books. Such as the series of "One Hundred Thousand Whys".
Then she led her to the counter that sells ready-to-wear.
There were ready-to-wear in departnt stores, but the styles weren't good-looking. There were even fewer clothes for children. Only one or two style.
Qin Xiao i was very dissatisfied. Still, she bought two pieces: "You can casually wear these two sets for now. I'll get my cousin in the capital to send a few sets over."
Da Qiao saw Godmother had already bought a lot of things for her. So she quickly waved her little hand and spoke, "No need, Godmother. I already have enough clothes to wear. Don't buy any more, I will be feel embarrassed."
Qin Xiao i loved her little adult behavior. She reached out and squeezed her little face, "Godmother likes to buy it for you!"
Inadvertently, Qin Xiao i said sothing later generation's overbearing presidents would say.
When the salespeople around heard this, they all looked at Da Qiao with envious eyes.
They thought she was her biological daughter at the beginning. Surprisingly, she was just a goddaughter. This little girl's luck must too good, right?
Shen Tian You watched his mom buy for Elder Sister Qiao. He wasn't jealous though. Instead, he gave pointers from ti to ti.
More importantly, he always rembered to "honor" his Elder Sister Ying. He took a look that the colorful dresses his mom bought for Elder Sister Da Qiao and felt it looked pretty good. He planned to used his pocket money and one for his boss, Elder Sister Eagle.
Qin Xiao i thought of the few girls in Qiao Family. Her son didn't need to pay. She bought a large, a dium and a small size in one go.
When they ca out of the departnt store and got into the car, Da Qiao noticed a person in front of her looked like her fourth aunt. However, two people just happened walked by and blocked her vision.
Qiao Xiu Zhi pushed her slightly and urged, "Why don't you go in quickly. Don't stand there."
Then she hurried in. Once in the car, she checked again. There was already no trace of her fourth aunt.
After waiting for the car to drive away, on the street opposite the departnt store, Qiao Hong i was wearing a dark blue clothes with lipstick on her lips.
It was just that her skin was very dark. Not suitable for dark blue color as the color doesn't make her look young, but instead highlighted all her shortcomings.
She didn't know though. She thought that the pedestrians on the road were looking at her because she was dressed beautifully. So she raised her chin even higher.
Chen Lai Di eyed the departnt store on the opposite side, "Mom, I think I saw Da Qiao and Grandma just now."
Qiao Hong i was startled: "Where did you see them?"
Chen Lai Di answered, "They left in a car."
Qiao Hong i's face darkened. She stretched out her hand and poked her second daughter's forehead, "What nonsense are you talking about in the dayti? How can mud-legged family Qiao Family have the life to ride in a car?"
Being jabbed by her mom, Chen Lai Di's head went askew to the side. She wanted to say that she didn't see it wrongly, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt unsure.
Just now she saw that little girl's skin was as fair as the white clouds in the sky. She was wearing a light blue dress. So beautiful that she felt deeply inferior.
Although Da Qiao's skin was very fair, it didn't seem to be to that degree. As her mom said, Da Qiao lives in a rural place of chicken poo in the countryside. How can she get to know such a wealthy family?
So, she must have mis-saw.
Qiao Hong i's good mood was ruined because of her second daughter ntioning Qiao Family.
She went ho twice to borrow money and was kicked out by her mom twice. She couldn't swallow this breath no matter what!
Every ti she returned from Qiao's house, she encountered mishaps.
The first ti she was besieged by Asian tiger mosquitoes and her face was covered with swellings. She had to be admitted to the hospital. The second ti she fell and had a wound on her forehead. She went to the hospital for a few stitches. Now there was still a scar on her forehead.
Her mother-in-law and husband were very dissatisfied with the fact that she couldn't get the money back twice and had spent a lot of the family's money instead. Her man hadn't touched her for more than two months.
She deeply hated her mom!
That old wanted to see her divorce before she's satisfied?
After shopping, Qin Xiao i was afraid that Da Qiao was hungry. She took her to a state-run restaurant to eat.
It wasn't al ti. There was only a chef and a waitress in the state-run restaurant.
Both of them looked bored. and the chef inside looked like he was about to fall asleep.
When the waitress Wang Ni'er saw soone coming in, she pulled her face and pouted, "So people are blind. It's not even al ti and they ca?"
When she took in Qin Xiao i's outfit and glanced at the car outside, the expression on her face changed imdiately.
These days, she can't offend anyone who can afford a car!
Since it wasn't al ti, many things couldn't be ordered. What's more, everyone wanted to leave room in their stomach and go back to Shen's house to for a full al. So they only ordered two bowls of noodles and two bowls of sweet potato sweet soup. These were shared among everyone.
Da Qiao enjoyed the sweet potato sweet soup. She planned to go back and make so purses for Godmother and the others. Shen Family was really kind to her.
After coming out of the state-run restaurant, Qiao Xiu Zhi got in the car. The car drove away imdiately, so they didn't see a man staring at the car in front of the state-run restaurant with a shocked expression.
It took Chen Xing a long ti to recover from the shock. Imdiately, he rushed into the state-run restaurant and latched on Wang Ni'er to ask, "Who is that person who just left?"
Wang Ni'er glanced at him angrily and replied, "How am I supposed to know who they are. Since they ca in a car, they are definitely not ordinary people!"
Chen Xing anxiously uttered: "Among the few people who ca in, is there a tall woman in her forties or fifties? She dressed like a rural person?"
Wang Ni'er curled her lips: "Yes, that woman looks like a rural person. She is definitely not from the sa family as that young woman. Don't know what their relationship is. Elder Brother Xing, have you seen them?"
If they were poor relatives, it didn't seem like the case. After all, the woman was very polite and respectful to the rural woman.
Chen Xing didn't answer. Just narrowed his eyes in contemplation.
He wasn't sure just now. But now he was pretty certain that he didn't see it wrong. It was his mother-in-law, Qiao Xiu Zhi who got in the car!
Shouldn't his mother-in-law be farming in the countryside?
How could she ca to town and get involved with soone like that?
It seed that he had to find a ti for his wife to go back to the village to inquire.
Seeing that Chen Xing didn't answer her, Wang Ni'er imdiately pouted, "Elder Brother Xing, I'm talking to you. Why are you ignoring ?"
Chen Xing ca back to his senses and checked that no one around was paying attention to them. He reached out and touched her little hand, "My darling, how could I bear to ignore you?"
Wang Ni'er swayed her body and coquettishly said, "Elder Brother Xing, you said you wanted to marry . So when will you divorce that ugly woman?"
Chen Xing laughed it off, "Wait a while. Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation."
Wang Ni'er was very dissatisfied with this answer. But this wasn't the place to talk. So she could only utter: "Then you can't touch that woman, understand? You can only belong to alone!"
Chen Xing smiled wryly: "Don't worry, my darling, my whole body belongs to you alone!"
Wang Ni'er gave him a pointed gaze. Her face was completely coquettish.
...
On the day that Da Qiao went to town, old Second Wang returned to the village with an unsettled face: "Eldest Brother, Fifth Younger Brother is gone!"
When Wang Shui Sheng saw his Second Younger Brother co back alone, he knew in his heart that it was a bad on.
Hearing his words, his face sank: "Speak clearly. What do you an Fifth Younger Brother is gone? Did he escape?"
If that was the case, he'd better run away and never co back. Otherwise, he'll break his legs!
Old Second Wang shook his head: "It's not that he ran away. That day we..."
Three days ago, he left the village with his younger fifth brother, Wang Xin Sheng in tow to go to the army under his eldest brother's instruction.
They rode a bus to the county city and were going to take the train. However, the train was late. The attendant said that the train take an hour or two to arrive. So Wang Xin Sheng suggested to go out for a walk.
Because it was still dayti, old Second Wang felt that going out for a walk wasn't a big deal. He felt uncomfortable at the thought of staying at the train station for an hour or two.
Wang Xin Sheng walked to the river near the train station.
That river was known as Little Yellow River. The water in it was deep and turbid. the river was turbulent. It was said that many people who stumbled and fell didn't survive.
He had sensed Fifth Younger Brother was standing too close to the river and was about to ask him to co over. At that ti, he suddenly turned around.
"Second Brother, I know I'm an asshole. Not only am I a lazy bum, I had also caused such a calamity to my family. I really want to kill that woman Fang Xiao Juan! But Eldest Brother is right, if I really kill her, my family will suffer because of in the future!"
When Wang Xin Sheng said this, his expression was remorse one mont and gritting his teeth the next.
He had no doubt that if Fang Xiao Juan was in front of him, she would definitely be stabbed to death by him!
Old Second Wang was also dissatisfied with what Fifth Younger Brother did in his heart. But he always had a clumsy mouth: All he said was: "Leave it since, it already happened. Co over quickly. Let's go back to the station."
Wang Xin Sheng didn't move and continued: "Fang Xiao Juan, that woman is a cancer. As long as she have a hold on our Wang Family, our Wang Family will be threatened and ordered around by her. I don't want to live like this for the rest of my life! Second Elder Brother, after I'm gone, I'll leave Dad and Mom to you and the other elder brothers' care..."
When old Second Wang heard this, he felt sothing was up. His face beca a little flustered: "Old Fifth, what are you talking about? Second Elder Brother doesn't bla you anymore. Co here!"
"I'm very happy to hear Second Elder Brother say that before I die!"
After speaking, he turned around and plunged into the river before old Second Wang could rush over.
The river was deep and rushed. A few wave, his figure soon drowned and disappeared!
Old Second Wang's legs beca weak. He fell to the ground on the spot.
He wanted to jump down to find him, but was stopped by a passerby.
When the other party heard that his younger brother jumped into the river, he shook his head and said that he couldn't be rescued. He advised him to go to the police station imdiately.
Old Second Wang went to call the police with a pale face. The police at the police station were very responsible. On the spot, two small police officers were sent to the river to search.
But after searching all day, nothing was found!
The police told him that nine out of ten his younger brother was gone and the body may not be found. They will let the lower side to keep an eye out to see if there is a body floating there recently.
The police had told him not to wait in the county. Instead, hurry back to inform his family.
Old Second Wang returned to Qili Village with a pale face and soft legs.
When Wang Shui Sheng heard the words, he fell off the chair. Unable to utter a word for a long ti.
He hated Wang Xin Sheng for bringing so much trouble to the family and he had resented his parents for spoiling him to this point. But no matter how bad he was, he was still his own brother. He never wanted him to die!
Old Second Wang spoke with trembling lips: "Eldest Brother, what should... we do?"
After a long ti, Wang Shui Sheng uttered with a choked voice, "The body haven't been found yet, so he might not be gone. Don't say anything yet. I'll make so arrangents before going to the county town with you tomorrow to search for him!"
When old Second Wang ca back, many villagers saw it. It was impossible to hide it from Wang Family.
So Wang Shui Sheng told his family that old Second Wang lost the letter of introduction and rushed back to ask him to write another one. As for Wang Xin Sheng, he stayed at a friend's house in Lao San County.
When Wang Family heard that the letter of introduction was lost, they didn't ask any further questions. However, old Second Wang's expression was a little strange. His wife pulled it out of him that night.
Old Second Wang's wife found out that Wang Xin Sheng had jumped into the river and didn't speak for a long ti. What's more, she kept having a bad premonition in her heart. She felt that the sky was about to fall.
It would be great if Wang Xin Sheng could be found. If not, could her mother-in-law bear this news?
Wang Shui Sheng handed over the matters to the deputy leader, accountant, and point tracker. Then he hurriedly went to the county with his second younger brother.
After searching in the county for a day, the police station sent soone to inform them that Wang Xin Sheng's body was found!
When Wang Shui Sheng heard the policeman's words, his vision darkened and his body swayed: "Sir Policeman, are you sure that the body is my brother?"
The little policeman responded: "I'm not sure. So we need you family mbers to confirm it! But the clothes and characteristics of the corpse are very consistent with the information you left when you called the police. So it's very likely that it's your family mber. Hurry up and follow !"
Two brothers, one with a white face and the other with their wobbly legs, ca to the station's morgue.
As soon as old Second Wang saw the corpse, he rolled his eyes and fainted on the spot.
The corpse was wearing the sa clothes that Wang Xin Sheng wore the day he jumped into the river!
Wang Shui Sheng's heart sank again and again. It sank down to a never-appearing bottom. He walked over to identify the body with trembling hands.
After a few days of soaking and the warming weather, the corpse had already beca swollen. The facial features were completely deford.
Wang Shui Sheng endured his disgust and leaned towards the left eyebrow of the corpse. Unexpectedly, he discover a large piece of flesh missing there.
He raised his head and asked the policeman standing at the door, "Sir Policeman, what's the matter with the wound on this corpse?"
There was a large scar on Wang Xin Sheng's left eyebrow. Even if it was swollen, it should still leave traces.
The policeman answered: "The body has been floating in the river for a few days. It may hit a stone by the river. Or maybe it was eaten by a fish. Quickly confirm, is this person your brother?"
Wang Shui Sheng frowned. He wanted to exclaim, why did it have to be the left eyebrow that got damaged?
But with the right clothes, height, and shape, he really couldn't deceive himself that the corpse wasn't Wang Xin Sheng!
Under the piercing gaze of the little policeman, he nodded with difficulty: "It should be my brother."
The little policeman said: "Don't be should or shouldn't. It's a yes or no. Answer it again, is it him?"
Wang Shui Sheng nodded with a pale face: "Yes!"
"That's it then. Co out and sign your na. Quickly bring the body back!" The little policeman turned around and walked out.
As soon as Wang Shui Sheng saw the little policeman leave, he raised his hand and slapped himself twice!
If he hadn't forced Fifth Younger Brother to go, he wouldn't have done such a stupid thing.
He woke Second Younger Brother with a white face and then the two went to go through the formalities.
After searching in the county for a long ti, there was no carriage willing to carry the corpse. Finally, with the help of the police, a tractor was found and the corpse was carried back to the village at a high price.
The two brothers were sitting on the tractor with the sa sadness and confusion on their faces. How should they tell their parents about this when they went back?
...
The second day after going to town, Qiao Xiu Zhi followed Qin Xiao i to the housing managent office to check the properties.
There were a few, but none of them fit.
It was either too expensive or too shabby or the location was too remote.
Qiao Xiu Zhi wasn't in a hurry. She won't buy it since there was no suitable one. Anyway, Da Qiao was only seven years old now. She will definitely find a suitable house before the child grows up.
Seeing that she hadn't found a suitable house, Qin Xiao i said she would help her keep an eye out.
Not all houses in the town were sold through the housing managent office. So were sold privately. This way, the house was sold through acquaintance's word of mouth.
Qiao Xiu Zhi thanked her. In the afternoon of the next day, she took Da Qiao back to Qili Village in the car.
The villagers were very envious when they saw Da Qiao wearing new clothes and carrying large bags and small bags!
"Oh, the deputy chief's goddaughter is different. She looked completely like the city people!"
"Truly. Da Qiao looks more and more blessed! She used to stutter and old Second Qiao was paralyzed. Everyone thought that she will have a hard ti for her to find a husband family once she grows up. But now, her stutter is gone. Old Second Qiao's leg healed. More importantly, she has beco the deputy chief's goddaughter. Tsk tsk tsk, this luck is really enviable. I can't envy enough!"
"Da Qiao, my Da Ya is the sa age as you. I will get her co to play with you in the future?"
"My Er Ni is about the sa age. You guys can go to school together in the future. If you guys get familiar, take my Er Ni to your godfather's house to play!"
These people who let their daughters play with Da Qiao were the sa people who thought Da Qiao was a calamity and told their children not to play with her.
Da Qiao pursed her lips and said nothing.
Her temperant was like her grandfather; didn't like to be rude. But that didn't an she was a fool.
She knew that these people didn't really want to be friends with her. They only saw her deputy chief's goddaughter position.
Qiao Xiu Zhi gave these people a chilly gaze and said coldly, "If I rember correctly, didn't you say that Da Qiao was a calamity and was born with bad luck. Your children shouldn't play with Da Qiao, no? Why did you change your mind so quickly?"
Those few people didn't expect Qiao Xiu Zhi to pull off their face in front of so many people. Their faces turned red and white with anger.
Soone apologetically smiled, "Aunt Xiu Zhi, those words are nonsense. Don't take it to heart!"
"Yeah, yeah. We had no eyes at the ti. We listened to what Da Qiao's mom said. Now we know that we were wrong!"
Soone bitterly remarked: "Bah! Isn't it just becoming a deputy chief's goddaughter? What's so great? If you have the ability, make them pamper you for a lifeti!"
"Ain't that right. Maybe after a while, they will forget that there is such a goddaughter!"
Qiao Xiu Zhi felt that it was a waste of words to explain to these idiots: "Go in. If you see these idiots in the future, try to stay away from them. If not, they will reduce your intelligence!"
Qiao Dong Ying felt that her grandmother was quite sassy and responded loudly: "I understand, Grandmother. We will cherish life and stay away from idiots!"
An Ping felt his elder sister's words were interesting and yelled: "Cherish life and stay away from idiots!"
Da Qiao and Qiao Dong He looked at each other and repeated.
Those won were trembling with fury!
If it wasn't for Qiao Xiu Zhi's fists being too hard, they would definitely rush to tear their mouths apart!
After Qiao Family went inside, the onlookers gradually dispersed.
Xiao Qiao walked out from behind a big tree. Her eyes were red with jealousy!
