Chapter 5: A slap in the face
The yard was full of people watching the excitement. Josie limped over and the sharp-eyed neighbors saw: "Josie is back!"
The next moment, a gust of wind rushed in front of Qiao Xi.
Mother Qiao grabbed Qiao Xi's arm, her eyes were red: "Where have you been! You are going to kill me!"
Qiao Xi glanced at the people who were looking over here, and lowered her voice to remind: "Mom, let's talk about it when we get home."
As the saying goes, family scandals should not be made public. Besides, her feet were hurting so much that she wanted to sit down and rest.
Mother Qiao saw that Qiao Xi's lips were pale and she felt extremely distressed. She immediately nodded: "Okay, let's go into the house. You have to drink some water first and then say slowly, don't be afraid. Mom will support you if anything happens."
She supported Qiao Xi as she walked into the house, while angrily yelling at the onlookers: "What are you looking at? Go quickly! Go and do whatever you have to do!"
Not only did she say it herself, she also winked at Father Qiao who was following her. Father Qiao understood and waved to the villagers: "Go back!"
Qiao's father is the head of Qiaojia Village, and Qiao's mother is the women's director. They are both very dignified in the village. They usually laugh and curse with the amiable guys, but today they are obviously unhappy. Who dares to cause trouble?
?
The villagers who were watching the excitement dispersed like beasts.
Entering the yard, Qiao's mother called Qiao Nan: "Go and pour a glass of sugar water for your second sister!"
Then he called Qiao Bei: "Your second sister hasn't eaten a bite until now. Go and bring over that plate of scrambled eggs!"
Qiao Nan and Qiao Bei were busy.
Sun Hailan stood aside with an ugly expression on his face, and his back molars were almost broken.
It is because of such a protective mother that there are girls who are extremely arrogant!
For such a big thing as running away from marriage in public, she was not punished or scolded. Instead, she was given food and drink first, just like an ancestor. It really made her angry.
A girl will get married sooner or later, so what's the use of pampering her?
Thinking about this, she glanced at her husband Qiao Dong.
However, Qiao Dong was focusing all his attention on his second sister Qiao Xi. He saw that Qiao Xi stopped eating the eggs after taking two bites, so he took the initiative to go to the kitchen and get a bowl of porridge.
"Second sister, drink some porridge to calm down the shock."
Sun Hailan almost rolled her eyes.
This family is hopeless!
…
Qiao Xi almost calmed down and let out a long breath.
It’s still comfortable at home!
In the five years since she was married, although she had lived well with her hard work and cleverness, she had worked hard to support herself, which could not compare with the feeling of having someone to rely on.
Really unable to bear the sight of the whole family hanging around a girl, Sun Hailan took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "Xixi, what's going on? Why are you so angry today?"
Qiao Xi raised his eyes and looked towards Sun Hailan.
Sun Hailan sighed, still pretending: "You really have the same mind as a child!"
Qiao Xi immediately heard that there was something in Sun Hailan's words.
hehe.
Do you think she doesn't know anything yet and want to fool her with a few words?
It's a pity that she is no longer the innocent and easily trusting person she was five years ago!
The corner of Qiao Xi's mouth curled up, showing a mocking smile: "Sister-in-law, you are really a good talker. With just one word, you characterized today's incident as me acting like a child?"
Sun Hailan was shocked again.
Can you hear this?
She waved her hands quickly: "No, I didn't say that!"
Mother Qiao turned to Sun Hailan, her eyes widened: "Don't I know what my daughter's character is like? She's already feeling so uncomfortable. Can you say something nice?"
Her daughter has been very sensible since she was a child!
She didn't need to ask about what happened today, and she knew there must be a reason.
Otherwise, how could the daughter, who was getting married so smoothly and was so happy before departure, suddenly change into a different person and run away in front of so many people?
Seeing her mother trying her best to defend herself, Qiao Xi's nose became sore.
Today she ran away on the way to see her bride off. If this matter were dealt with by those families who don't care about girls, they would definitely be repaired and they might even take her away to get married without saying a word.
But my parents didn't. Instead, they were afraid of making themselves uncomfortable and wouldn't let me talk more about it.
She originally planned to cry to deal with it, but it turned out that she didn't need to at all.
Qiao Zhu had gone to have dinner just now. Now she walked in and saw Qiao's mother defending Qiao Xi. She was jealous and complained with a crooked mouth, and told the story of what happened at that time.
Of course, those words where Qiao Xi questioned Sun Hailan and ridiculed her were omitted.
At the end, she concluded angrily: "Second Aunt, Qiao Xi went too far today, not only for Sister-in-law Hailan, but also for me!"
Mother Qiao frowned and said angrily: "Zhuzhu, I know the cause and effect, you don't need to say it again! I want to listen to my daughter!"
Qiao Zhu was so angry that she felt dizzy.
What else is there to say?
Is it possible that so many of them can still arrange it together?
Mother Qiao turned to Qiao Xi, her voice immediately softened: "Daughter, are you feeling better now? If you don't want to mention it, let's not mention it. You have a good sleep. I'll go with your father to take care of the Yang family.
The matter is settled, if you don’t want to get married, we won’t get married.”
Isn't it just that they gave a betrothal gift and held a flowing banquet? They should refund it and compensate!
When Sun Hailan heard this, she panicked on the spot.
If Qiao's mother and Qiao's father go to break off the engagement with a bad attitude and the Yang family can't swallow it, won't the money she received be exposed?
no!
Sun Hailan rolled her eyes and said quickly: "Mother-in-law, don't be so anxious. The Yang family is still angry. Let's take it easy first and wait for them to calm down before we talk about this matter. You are such an old person, you are going to go up now."
It’s not worth it to rush to have others train you.”
Mother Qiao didn't care: "They can teach me whatever they want, but I don't care with my old face!"
Father Qiao also nodded in agreement.
Sun Hailan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot and pulled Qiao Dong.
Her little move was noticed by Qiao Xi: "You really don't need to be in such a hurry."
Sun Hailan thought that Qiao Xi felt sorry for Qiao's mother and Qiao's father, and repeatedly echoed: "That's right, there's no rush."
Not waiting for her to be happy for a few seconds, Qiao Xi said loudly: "Let's go after we make this matter clear today!"
Sun Hailan was stunned.
Seeing this, Mother Qiao became nervous instantly. She grabbed Qiao Xi's hand and held it: "Daughter, tell me what happened. Don't be afraid of anything. Mom will make the decision for you!"
Qiao Nan was deeply influenced by Qiao's mother, and immediately said: "Second sister, don't be afraid, I will bully anyone who bullies you!"
Qiao Bei also quickly said: "And me!"
Both younger brothers have expressed their opinions, and naturally the eldest brother Qiao Dong cannot be left behind. His honest face is full of righteousness: "As long as I am here, no one can bully my sister!"
Sun Hailan: "..."
Qiao Zhu: "..."
With so many people supporting him, Qiao Xi felt more confident.
She sniffed her sore nose: "Yang Wenqing has weak bones and weak bones, which are very serious. He has to work hard in the fields. Really, if you don't believe me, go to Yang's house and ask someone, or call the village doctor.
Go take his pulse."
Now, as a young girl who is not yet married, she is really embarrassed to say in front of everyone that she cannot have sex.
However, it's enough.
When Mother Qiao heard that Yang Wenqing had such a serious hidden disease, she looked at Sun Hailan suddenly.
When she saw Sun Hailan moving back with a guilty look on her face, Mother Qiao's face turned from yellow to white, from white to green, and finally turned to black.
She rushed towards Sun Hailan angrily and slapped him.
"You are a wolf-hearted person, this is what you promised me with your heart, and said you would find a good in-law for my daughter!"
