Dark Mode

Chapter 13

Da Qiao was a good dumpling. Once it became dark, she soaked up her little feet and prepared to sleep as she waited for her elder uncle.

Unexpectedly, her uncle's arrival didn't come. Instead, she waited for her grandmother and grandfather's arrival!

"Da Qiao, is your dad asleep?" Xue Chuan looked at the little dumpling in front of him and said sweetly and lightly.

Da Qiao blinked her big eyes, shook her head and softly replied, "No, yet."

Qiao Xiu Zhi patted her little head: "We have something to discuss with your dad. Come in and listen."

In Qiao Xiu Zhi's view, even children have the right to be not kept in the dark.

Da Qiao took in her grandfather and grandmother 's serious faces. Her little heart pounded fast.

Her instinct was telling her something had happened!

Qiao Zhen Jun was surprise to see his parents coming over: "Dad and Mom, why are you here? Is it inconvenient for Eldest Brother to come here? Actually, I can manage alone. You don't need to come and take care of me every night."

His parents were already at this old age and still had to come to take care of him. Sometimes he felt that he was better off dead.

Da Qiao trotted over with her short little legs and brought two stools for her grandparents, "Grandfather, Grandmother, sit, down!"

Xue Chuan's heart melted at this sight and stretched out his hand to rub her little furry head: "Grandfather came out in a hurry this time and didn't bring any candy. I will remember to next time."

Da Qiao's eyes lit up. At the though of the sweetness of the candy, saliva gushed in her mouth.

She smacked her small mouth and swallowed her saliva subconsciously. She looked like a greedy little squirrel with expectations in her eyes. Then she seemed to be embarrassed of her gluttony. Xue Chuan couldn't help but smile.

Qiao Xiu Zhi had never been one to be vague. She directly told Qiao Zhen Jun about Fang Xiao Juan storming over to beat Lin Hui and Lin Hui couldn't think it through and jumped into the well.

After hearing this, Qiao Zhen Jun's expression displayed incredulous. It took him a long time to find his voice: "Xiao Juan... she really did that?"

He really didn't know why Fang Xiao Juan became like this. Not only was she bad to his daughter, she can't wait to pour dirty water on him now!

She really looked at him highly. As a paralyzed man, he couldn't even stand up as a paralyzed man. So how could he get entangled with someone?

He recalled Lin Hui. That girl with two big braids who was always the quietest in the crowd. He felt a slight stinging pain in his heart.

If he ever took the initiative to marry a girl in the past, that person was Lin Hui. Every time she smiled at him, he blushed and his heart beat so hard that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

Without waiting for him to bring it up to his parents, Fang Xiao Juan's matter happened.

Qiao Xiu Zhi knew that her son was honest, but his personality wasn't as bold as old Third. If she didn't smoke him out, he would probably endure it like before.

So she said straightforwardly: "How are you going to solve this? Your dad and I want you to divorce Fang Xiao Juan."

Qiao Zhen Jun was shocked again!

Divorce?

He had never consider this before!

It wasn't that he loved Fang Xiao Juan deeply, but rather, that few people ever divorce in this age!

Divorce ruined women too much. Although he hated some of Fang Xiao Juan's personality, he never thought of forcing her to die.

What's more, he was paralyzed now. If Da Qiao had no mother, what will happen to her in the future?

Qiao Xiu Zhi watched him set his gaze on Da Qiao and guessed what he was thinking with her toes: "Don't use Da Qiao as an excuse. Without a mother like Fang Xiao Juan, Da Qiao can still live. !"

Fang Xiao Huan was selfish to the bones. Unless this kind of person was thrown back into the womb to reborn, don't think about her becoming better at once!

At the side, Da Qiao had her mouth and mouth opened wide, like a surprised little animal.

Did her mom beat Aunt Hui?

Aunt Hui jumped into the well?

Grandmother want her parents to divorce?

Each and every questions were like lightning strikes. It stunned her into a daze.

She was very worried about Aunt Hui. She was a good person. Why did her mom beat her?

There was also little Brother Dong Lin. He must be very scared now. She really wanted to go over and hug him.

Due to what his mom said, Qiao Zhen Jun's expression displayed embarrassment. But, he still couldn't make up his mind: "Mom, must it reach this step?"

He didn't want to use his children as an excuse, but the world was like this. If he divorced Fang Xiao Juan, the man would definitely pick out the two children's shortcoming in this aspect in the future.

Xiao Qiao was pretty, smart, sensible and knew how to be likable, so he wasn't too concerned.

While Da Qiao was inconspicuous and stuttered. Now he was paralyzed. If he divorced Fang Xiao Juan, who would be willing to ask her hand in the future?

Qiao Xiu Zhi said with a cold face: "Selfish, bitter, mean, lazy, biased toward children, and disrespectful to husband. As a wife or a mother, she is not qualified! If you dont divorce such a person, do you want to keep her for the New Year?"

Qiao Zhen Jun's face turned even more red like he suffocated until he turned into a cooked shrimp.

Qiao Xiu Zhi swept a glance over Da Qiao's body and continued: "I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, your dad and I will look after her more in the future. We won't let her suffer!"

She knew how harsh this world was to women, so she wouldn't say that Qiao Zhen Jun's worries were groundless worries.

But she didn't believe that remaining married will allow Da Qiao to have a good future in the future.

On the contrary, if Da Qiao continues to live in this environment, she will grow into a timid and low self-esteem person. Even if she is allowed to marry a good family in the future, she will not be able to live well!

Qiao Xiu Zhi was a person of great wisdom. She can't say phrase like "Unfortunate childhood needs a lifetime to heal", but she deeply understood this concept.

Xue Chuan said warmly: "There is no parent who wants to their children's family to disperse, but Fang Xiao Juan is overboard this time. If Lin Hui wasn't rescued in time, this life will be burden by our Qiao Family. When the time comes, how will you explain to Lin family?"

As if the last straw that crushed the camel, these words broke Qiao Zhen Jun's last persistence.

His voice spoke like he had aged: "Okay, I'll listen to my parents. But can't let Xiao Qiao stay in Fang's house."

If Xiao Qiao stayed at Fang's house, he worried that one day Xiao Qiao would become the second Fang Xiao Juan.

Qiao Xiu Zhi silently laughed.

It seems like he will be disappointed. Xiao Qiao probably won't want to come back and follow her paralyzed father!

She would just see through and not break through with her mouth. She made an arrangement to go to Fang's house tomorrow morning to discuss divorce.

Just when she was about to turn around and leave, she saw the little dumpling in the corner. Standing there timidly and looking pitiful.

She walked over, squatted down in front of her ,and asked, "Do you understand what Grandmother said just now?"

Da Qiao's wet eyes glowed with water. She nodded her little head, and replied softly, "I, understood."

"Then listen carefully. Grandmother wants your parents to divorce because your mom did something wrong. It has nothing to do with you. Later, if your mom scolds you for causing her to divorce and saying that you are a calamity, pay her no heed. Understand?"

Da Qiao nodded. Her eyelashes trembled: "Grandmother, after the divorce, I, don't have, a mum, anymore?"

Qiao Xiu Zhi fixedly looked at her. At once, she wondered whether her decision was correct at this moment.

No one can replace a child's sentimental attachment for their mother. Even when Fang Xiao Juan treated her badly, she still longed for maternal love.

She hesitated for a while, stretched out her big palm, and rubbed her little head, "I don't know what your mother will think. It's just that in the future there will be Grandmother and your grandfather as well as your dad, your eldest uncle and fifth uncle who will dote you. Is it not good?"

Da Qiao held her little fingers up for a long time and finally figured it out.

Wow!

A total of five people doting her. A lot!

Her beautiful apricot eyes lit up again. So clear and translucent: "Good!"

How could it not be good. She used to only have her dad and Aunt Hui loving her.

Now there were four more people. Heaven, she was so blessed.

Qiao Xiu Zhi's heart instantly softened. Her eyes fell on her clothes and decided to go back and make some new clothes for her.

This evening, Qiao Family made a major decision. While the lights of Lin Family hadn't extinguish for a long time.

Wang Qiu Ying beat her daughter with her fist and her old tears flowed: "You heartless thing. You want your mom's life. If you something happened to you and dies, how am I to live?"

Lin Hui didn't dare to resist and quietly let her mom beat her.

In fact, the moment she jumped down the well, she regretted it.

Once she dies, Fang Xiao Juan would definitely not feel guilty for it. She would only be even more proud and declaring everywhere that she committed suicide because of a guilty conscience.

At that time, not only her family will be implicated by her, but even that person will be subject to everyone's controversy.

And little Dong Lin. Once she died, he would become an orphan without a father and no mother. Who will love him then?

Seeing her daughter's face pale as paper, Wang Qiu Ying's heart couldn't bear it in the end: "How many times have I told you, don't get too close to that kid? You never listen. Now you cause trouble for yourself?"

Lin Hui called out weakly, "Mom, it's nothing to do with Da Qiao!"

Wang Qiu Ying curled her lips: "What nothing to do with her... Alright, alright, I won't talk. It's nothing to do with her."

As her mother, how could not tell her daughter liked Qiao Zhen Jun?

Back then, she was interested in becoming in-laws with Qiao Family. But before she could speak, a stumbling block appeared halfway and her daughter's marriage thread was broken!

On the day of old Second Qiao's wedding, her daughter hid in her room and cried for a long time. After that, she became seriously ill. Afterward, she hurriedly found a man for herself to marry.

Unexpectedly, that man was a short-lived ghost and her daughter became a widow at a young age. It deeply cut her heart.

Lin Hui held her mother's hand: "Mom, I'm sorry. I made you worried. I won't do such stupid things again in the future."

Wang Qiu Ying's eyes reddened at once: "Okay, Mum believe you!"

If she can make her daughter happy for the rest of her life, she would be willing to shorten her life for 20 years!

After turning off the lights, Qiao Xiu Zhi stared at the mosquito net and said, "I want to leave most of the things to Da Qiao once we're gone. What do you think?"

She wanted to leave more things for the child and then teach her to be self-reliant. Even if no one married her in the future, she wouldn't be unable to live.

Xue Chuan: "Okay."

She thought about it and continued, "Tomorrow, remember to remind me to make some clothes for that child."

Xue Chuan: "Okay, I will help you remember and I will remind you tomorrow. Why are you suddenly so concerned about that child?"

"I discovered that child's eyes look the most like yours." Qiao Xiu Zhi said it as if it was natural.

Xue Chuan smiled, shook his wife's hand and said, "Then we'll treat that child better."

After few decades of marriage, the couple still retain the habit of holding hands to sleep. If this is known to Wan Chun Ju, her teeth might feel sour again.

When Da Qiao got up the next day, she discovered the pear tree in the yard were actually blooming!
