Chapter 26: Follow me to suffer
Qiao Xi looked at Qiao Dong, who was also very angry and kept his head down without saying a word.
Over the years, he has seen Mother Qiao's vigorous and resolute way of doing things. Being able to pick up Sun Hailan in person today is already a great honor.
But who would have thought that Sun Hailan would be so embarrassed.
He was scolded and worked hard for a long time, but it was all in vain when Sun Hailan made such a fuss.
Mother Qiao had already scolded Qiao Dong on the way here, but now she was too lazy to scold him anymore. She just said: "If she doesn't like coming, then don't come. I have many sons and I don't care about a daughter-in-law. I'll wait until these two days are over."
, I will give Qiao Nan a wife."
What a joke, she doesn’t even care about her son, let alone her grandson!
Qiao Xi was also very angry when he heard that he didn't sincerely admit his mistakes when he did something wrong, and he still has this attitude now.
Fortunately, Mother Qiao has an idea, otherwise a weaker mother-in-law would be really pissed off if she met someone like Sun Hailan.
But in front of Qiao Dong, she didn't say much.
Suddenly a drizzle began to fall in the sky. Mother Qiao took Qiao Xi into the kitchen and started making lunch.
Mother Qiao didn't want to see Qiao Dong, so she sent him to clean up the leaky shack in the backyard.
While cooking, Mother Qiao complained angrily.
"Everyone says it's good to have a son, but I don't think there's any benefit to having a son. It's a lot of worries and a lot of effort. I finally save some money by digging around, and I still have to marry a wife. After marrying my wife, I have a baby.
I have to work day and night and serve, and if something goes wrong, I will become an evil mother-in-law, what are you trying to do!"
Qiao Xi listened carefully and found it very reasonable.
Everyone says it is difficult to be a daughter-in-law, but few people have thought about it from the perspective of a mother-in-law. When she gets old, she will have to work all day long and help raise grandchildren, which is tiring and unpleasant.
Qiao Xi lit the fire and Mother Qiao cooked. After the meal was cooked, the three of them ate. The light rain stopped for more than an hour, so Mother Qiao took lunch and went to the fields with Qiao Dong.
Before leaving, he was so angry that he told Qiao Xi: "If Sun Hailan comes home secretly, don't let her in!"
Qiao Xi nodded heavily: "Mom, don't worry, I know what to do!"
After seeing off Mother Qiao, Qiao Xi walked around in the yard, looking at the misty mountains in the distance, and suddenly had an idea.
After it rained, it was the best time to pick up dumplings. In her previous life, she had perfected her skill at making dumplings, so why not make some for her family to eat.
Especially Mother Qiao, who was so angry today, let her be happy tonight.
With this thought in mind, Qiao Xi immediately went back to the house, put on his straw hat, put on his backpack and set off.
After the rain, the fields smelled of earth and grass, and Qiao Xi hummed a song all the way up the mountain.
She had experience finding soft ground and quickly picked up the small half-back basket.
She didn't stop until the sun came out and the ground became soft and dry, making it impossible to pick it up.
Standing on the mountain and looking down the mountain, you can see the river flowing down the village, the people working in the fields, and Qin Jiashu's orchard.
She hadn't noticed it before, but now she saw that Qin Jiashu's orchard was quite large, larger than her family's land combined.
And unlike the simple small orchard of Yang Wenqing's family, Qin Jiashu's orchard is large but not messy. Not only does it grow various fruits, but it also plants flowers and makes a pond. It can be seen that it has been taken care of with a lot of effort.
Qiao Xi was not surprised by this. She had already discovered that Qin Jiashu looked cold and rough, but in fact he was very serious and careful in his work and was a good worker.
But because he talks little and shows little, no one pays attention to him.
Just as Josie was thinking about this, she suddenly heard a series of sad dog barks.
It's Sirius!
Qiao Xi was surprised and squinted to see that Sirius seemed to be entangled in the rope around his feet and body, unable to untie it and was spinning back and forth on the ground.
Without thinking any more, Qiao Xi hurried down the mountain and trotted towards the orchard.
The small door of the orchard was locked, Qiao Xi called Qin Jiashu several times, but no one answered. She was worried about Sirius, so she didn't care so much. She opened the small door on her own and found Sirius along the way.
Sure enough, she read it right. The hemp rope that came from nowhere was entangled with Sirius's body and legs. The harder Sirius struggled, the tighter the rope became.
Sirius seemed to have been struggling for a long time, and there were still traces of blood on the ground.
"Oh my God!"
Qiao Xi gasped when he saw it, and quickly stepped forward, comforting Sirius and fixing the rope for him at the same time.
"It's okay. It will be fine soon. Just bear with it a little longer."
The hemp rope was rough and Qiao Xi's hands were sore during the process of untying it, but she couldn't care less at the moment.
The outer ropes are all tangled, so it's not difficult to untie. The rope is a loop at the end, and it's tied with a slip knot and put on Sirius.
At this moment, under Sirius's struggle, the rope had tightened into his flesh, and part of the rope was even stained red with blood.
Although it can be solved alive, it cannot be untied, so I can only use scissors to break it.
Afraid that the scissors would frighten Sirius, Qiao Xi thought of comforting Sirius first before using the scissors. However, Sirius didn't resist at all and lay quietly, seemingly full of trust in her.
Qiao Xi touched Sirius' head lovingly, carefully passed the tip of the scissors under the rope, and began to cut the rope.
The scissors are dull and the rope is thick, making it difficult to cut.
When it was finally cut off, she heard a whimper coming from Sirius' abdomen, and then Sirius stretched his head over and licked her wrist.
Seeing the usually majestic big guy lying pitifully on the ground, Qiao Xi's heart softened and tears fell down.
Sirius seemed to understand her emotions, he got up and walked around her, rubbed her with his big tail, and finally lay on her feet.
The closeness of everyone made Josie's heart melt.
She reached out and hugged the big guy's furry head, and leaned her face towards him: "You like me, right? I like you very much too."
One person and one dog were having fun when a cold question suddenly came from behind them.
"What are you doing?"
Qiao Xi turned around and saw Qin Jiashu coming back at some point.
He was shirtless, carrying fertilizer bags on both ends of the pole on his shoulders. He looked like he had walked a lot, and his face was covered with sweat.
When the master came back, Sirius stood up and trotted to Qin Jiashu's legs, rubbing again and again.
Qiao Xi licked his lips and looked at Qin Jiashu's tangled brows: "I just heard Sirius calling for help. When I came in, I saw that he was entangled in the rope. It was a slipknot. The more he moved, the tighter it became. So I looked for it.
The scissors cut the rope."
Hearing this, Qin Jiashu's face flashed with distress.
He put down the fertilizer and reached out to touch Sirius' back. Sirius felt the owner's care and barked a few times.
The big dog's coquettish appearance makes people feel even more distressed.
Qiao Xi's voice couldn't help but soften: "I just touched Sirius' paws and there are wounds on his legs. He looks very smart. What's going on?"
Qin Jiashu's body became tense instantly, and his voice was filled with sadness: "It's my fault. I followed him and made him suffer."
Qiao Xi couldn't help but frown: "What do you mean? Are you bullying Sirius?"
No way!
