Adored Koi in the ’70s

Chapter 1

In winter, there wasn't much work in the fields. The villagers nibbled on melon seeds as they stayed indoors, gossiping and smacking their mouths.

Gou Dan's mother spat out melon seeds and said: "That Fang Xiao Juan is cruel. Driving out a six-year-old child out of the house in this three-to-nine-degree bitter winter !"

The production team leader's wife, Liu Cui Hua sighed: "It's not the first day you know that she is biased. A pair of twin daughters. One was starved until there is no meat on the face. The other is fair and delicate. Is there such a mother?"

Song Jin Lai's wife suddenly lowered her voice: "Don't you guys feel that Da Qiao is cursed? The whole family has been ruined. A black cat isn't as cursed as her!"

Fang Xiao Juan was old Second Qiao a.k.a Qiao Zhen Jun's wife. Within half a year of their marriage, Fang Xiao Juan became pregnant with twins.

It was just that this pregnancy wasn't easy. The delivery was even more difficult. When Da Qiao was born, her feet came out first. Xiao Qiao was held back inside until her face turned purple. Fang Xiao Juan had a severe bleeding. Three people and two almost died.

Because of this, Fang Xiao Juan blamed Da Qiao.

She gave Xiao Qiao good food and drink. Nourished like a delicate miss. However, she tried to torment Da Qiao at every corner. From the age of three, she made her do chores- sweeping the floor, feeding the chickens, and collecting firewood. All kinds of work!

A few years later, Da Qiao had changed from a far and plump little dumpling to a yellowish-looking little stutter. She was six years old and wasn't as tall as four or five years old!

If that was all, then it was fine. The problem was that Qiao Zhen Jun became paralyzed ten days ago and this matter was connected with Da Qiao!

Half a month ago, Da Qiao suddenly ran to West Wood to dig out bird eggs. West Wood was so smoggy all year round that adults didn't dare to enter it easily. A little brat like her went in. Wasn't this seeking death?

Sure enough, she fell into a pit trap shortly after entering. When everyone found her, she was frozen into a popsicle and was only left with half a breath. She stayed in the hospital for seven days before her life was saved!

On the day of discharge from the hospital, Qiao Zhen Jun went to pick up his daughter by himself. Halfway back, a thunderstorm came down. Da Qiao missed a step and rolled towards a ditch. In order to save his daughter, Qiao Zhen Jun rolled down as well, His lower spine bumped against a large jutted-out rock. He fainted on the spot in pain.

After he was sent to the hospital, the doctor said that his spinal nerve in the lumbar area was injured too severely and couldn't be cured with the current medical level.

Like this, Qiao Zhen Jun became paralyzed.

After old Second Qiao became paralyzed, Fang Xiao Juan cried all day long that she wanted to die and clamoring that she would drive out the star of calamity, Da Qiao.

At this time, there was a howl suddenly sounded outside"I don't want to live ah!"

Liu Cui Hua trio immediately ran out. When they arrived at Qiao Family's courtyard, many people were already surrounding the entrance.

"What kind of evil did I commit? I gave birth to a calamity. After bringing misfortune to her mom and sister, she now targets her dad. This is wanting to kill the whole family!"

Fang Xiao Juan was a well-known beauty in Dongfeng Community. But right now, she was sitting on the ground with disheveled hair and got mud and chicken poop stuck to her trousers. Which part of her looked like a beauty?

"What nonsense are you talking about, woman? What did this matter have to do with Da Qiao?" Qiao Zhen Jun's voice sounded from within the house.

Fang Xiao Juan jumped up from the ground like she received adrenaline: "How am I talking nonsense?! I bleed heavily in the past, Xiao Qiao almost suffocated. Now you are paralyzed. Which has nothing to do with her? I will put it out here today. The calamity must be cast out! "

Qiao Zhen Jun gritted his teeth: "No matter what you say, I won't agree to it anyway!"

While Fang Xiao Juan was acting up, a little dumpling was squatting in front of a small stove to decoct medicine in the kitchen room with two rows of tears trialing on her palm-sized cheeks. Looking very pitiful.

Da Qiao held a cattail leaf fan and gently fanned the fire while sobbing quietly.

After the medicine was decocted, she wiped her tears with her small hand, stood up, and poured the medicine into the old porcelain bowl neatly. Then she covered it with a rag and walked out carefully.

Fang Xiao Juan turned her head and saw her coming out. At once, her anger exploded and ran over to throw out two slaps!

The old porcelain bowl slammed to the ground with a "clang" sound. The Chinese medicine splashed on the tender and delicate ankles and a large area of redness instantly appeared.

There were two red and swollen palm prints floating on her face. Tears hung on her long and curled eyelashes, which were too late to be wiped off. Her eyes were clean and bright as if one was looking in a magic mirror and could reveal the ugliest side of people.

Fang Xiao Juan saw her hideous appearance in her eyes and was startled for a moment. She became more ashamed and angry: "You are calamity to the whole family. Scram now!"

Da Qiao blinked her big deer-like eyes. The tears fell down. She softly pleading: "I will, do, more work. I won't, eat. Mom, don't, drive me, out."

Fang Xiao Juan wouldn't listen. She grabbed her hair and dragged her out.

Da Qiao's scalp was almost torn off. Tears kept falling from the pain. Her body trembled constantly.

Qiao Zhen Jun leaned on the window and his eyes were bloodshot: "Fang Xiao Juan, stop!"

At this moment, a big hand stretched out, grabbed Fang Xiao Juan's hair without warning and pulled it back hard!

Fang Xiao Juan's head tilted back. Feeling that her scalp was about to be torn off, she screamed in pain, "Ahhhhh... let go! Let go!"

The person behind her coldly stated: "You let go, then I will let go!"

This voice...

Was the voice of her mother-in-law, Qiao Xiu Zhi!

Fang Xiao Juan shuddered subconsciously and immediately let go of Da Qiao's hair.

Only then, Qiao Xiu Zhi let go. She waved her fan-sized hand and a mass of black things floated down from her hand.

Everyone took a closer look. My god, it was actually a big bunch of hair!

Fang Xiao Juan touched her bald scalp. Her tears almost came down: "Mom, what happened to you today? How can you help this money-wasting thing instead?"

Qiao Xiu Zhi sneered: "If Da Qiao is a money-wasting thing, you are too. You are the most money-wasting thing!"

Laughter erupted all around. Fang Xiao Juan's face became hot.

Qiao Xiu Zhi was born with godly strength. She held a unique position in the family. At the same time, she was a tyrant in the village. No one dared to climb on her head and run wild.

It was just that she didn't like Fang Xiaojuan, this daughter-in-law very much. When Qiao Zhen Jun proposed to marry Fang Xiao Juan, she disapproved at once.

Everyone from the top to the bottom of Fang Family was a lazy bum. They loved to make trouble everywhere. Whoever got such in-laws was unlucky.

Fang Xiao Juan had a bad reputation. Before marrying Qiao Zhen Jun, she was in an unclear relationship with a male educated youth. Later, when the male educated youth returned to the city, there was no news. Only then, she rushed to find someone to marry. Qiao Zhen Jun was her chosen target.

For such a woman, Fang Family actually had the face request a 150 yuan gift. One must know, one can marry three wives in the countryside for 150 yuan!

Qiao Xiu Zhi was naturally unwilling to. However, Qiao Zhen Jun, who had always been honest and filial, unknowingly acted out of the norm. He persisted in marrying Fang Xiao Juan no matter what.

Qiao Xiu Zhi was stubborn and told Qiao Zhen Jun to write down the IOU. The gift money was borrowed from the family and then the young couple was separated from the family on the third day of their marriage.

Fang Xiao Juan was full of hate and frustration: "Mom, this money... child is a calamity. If I don't drive her out, she will kill us all!"

Qiao Xiu Zhi sternly said: "Seems like you had enough of living! Everywhere is desolate and you dare to promote feudal superstitions. Bad circle like you should be sent to the farm for reform and learn a new mindset and improve from there. Gain enlightenment!"

Fang Xiao Juan's face suddenly turned white.

The farm wasn't a good place. The landlords and capitalists who had been sent over there work more and eat less. Within a few years, their body can't handle it. She didn't want to be sent to such a place.

It was just that she still felt unwilling: "My own child, why can't I hit her? I'm her mom. What can others say if I beat her to death?"

"Beat to death? You are so capable. Why don't you go to heaven!" Qiao Xiu Zhi coldly snorted, "You want to hit, right? Then hit now. Once you beat her to death, I will report you to the police station!"

What a merciless old lady!

Someone watching the show didn't mind adding a knife to the drama: "I say, Fang Xiao Juan, don't be impulsive. It is unlawful to kill. I heard that those caught will not only wear a high hat to parade around but will also be shot!"

Fang Xiao Juan let out a screech and then started crying again: "Oh goddamn it. Why is my life so bitter? I can't scold and beat this family cursing thing and got to treat it as an ancestor. I can't live anymore... "

Qiao Xiu Zhi had a stern face on: "If you don't want to live, then die! Die now, I will pay and buy a coffin board for you!"

Fang Xiao Juan: ""

The onlooking villagers laughed again.

Fang Xiao Juan's teeth ached with hate. Old witch, only ruin things for her!

She gritted her teeth, rushed into the room, and said to Qiao Zhen Jun, "What do you plan to do with that calamity, Da Qiao?"

Qiao Zhen Jun's eyes were sunken and his face was bristly unshaven.

He showed an expression of pain: "Da Qiao is also our child. Why can't you love her like Xiao Qiao?"

Fang Xiao Juan spat, "She's a calamity. Is she worthy of being compared with Jiao Jiao'er? I will put it out here today. This family can only have her or me. Choose!

Qiao Zhen Jun closed his eyes and clenched his hand under the quilt into a fist. He used silence as a protest.

Fang Xiao Juan usually didn't like his character that won't give fart even when getting hit by a stick. She had already reached this point and unexpectedly he still protected this calamity!

Fang Xiao Juan's face turned green.

Fang Xiao Juan was shaking with anger.

Fang Xiao Juan felt she lost face.

"Well, since you want to protect her, then you can live with the calamity!"

After finishing speaking, she turned around resentfully to pack her baggage. She deliberately threw things around and made loud noises.

However, Qiao Zhen Jun didn't open his mouth even when she finished packing up and was about to walk out the door.

Fang Xiao Juan was so angry that she ground her teeth!

She ran to another room and grabbed Xiao Qiao and stated, "Let's go. Come with mom to Grandma's house!"

When Fang Xiao Juan came in, Xiao Qiao was reading a book. When she heard what she said, she tilted her head and nodded: "Okay then."

Fang Xiao Juan felt much better when she heard that Xiao Qiao was willing to go back to her maternal home with her.

Completely different from that calamity. Xiao Qiao was the greatest achievement in her life!

Seeing her mom come out with the baggage, Da Qiao's face turned pale in fright. She blinked her big eyes and begged: "Mom, don't, don't go."

Her voice was soft and waxy, like a soft glutinous rice cake wrapped in sugar. At this moment, she was pulling her mom's sleeve. Timidly, like a frightened little animal.

Fang Xiao Juan hated her to death and shook her off hard: "Don't call me. I'm not your mom!"

Da Qiao fell to the ground and blood oozed out of her palm. But she didn't care at all. She got up and wanted to chase after.

Qiao Xiu Zhi stepped forward and held her collar like holding a baby chicken: "Don't beg her. Let her go!"

She wanted to see how much this woman act up!

Fang Xiao Juan stood up like a proud peacock and walked away arrogantly.

Unexpectedly, when she walked to the entrance of the small courtyard, her feet slipped. Her knees hit the ground first and then her whole body splat down on the ground.

Xiao Qiao was pulled down together.

"BANG!"

The mother and daughter fell flat on their face together!
