Chapter 41: Stand up for him
Ignored like air, Granny Zhang was dumbfounded for a moment, then she took a sip in the direction Qin Jiashu was walking.
Her voice was slightly louder: "Just like his bastard father, he is a bad guy!"
Everyone around who had not left heard this sentence, and the Qiao family also heard it.
Qiao Xi twisted her thin eyebrows and glanced at Mother Qiao.
Although Mother Qiao was reluctant, she didn't want the girl to stand out if she couldn't stand it.
She took two steps toward Mrs. Zhang with her hands on her hips and narrowed her eyes fiercely: "Hey, Mrs. Zhang, what are you talking about!"
Mrs. Zhang didn't expect that Mrs. Qiao would stand up for Qin Jiashu, and she didn't react for a while.
Qiao's mother didn't give her a chance to respond, so she continued: "What age are we in, and you are still practicing continuous sitting? You have forgotten the new national policy? Do you want to rebel?"
"You...don't even think about blaming me!" Mrs. Zhang tilted her mouth to defend herself: "We all help each other, but he has no kindness at all. Isn't it okay for me to just say a few words to him?"
Mother Qiao laughed when she heard this: "I'm not related to you, so why should I help you? It's you who want to make people achieve nothing but slander them with your bare teeth. I see, there's something wrong with your ideological education!"
Mrs. Zhang's eyes widened: "You...you..."
She looked around, wanting everyone to speak for her.
But most of the people present drank the mung bean soup that Qiao Xi brought. Besides, it was Mrs. Zhang who did something wrong in the first place, and no one had the intention to speak.
Mrs. Zhang saw that the situation was not right. Although she was not convinced, she gave up.
"Okay, okay, I can't talk to you. I still have a lot of work in the field, so I won't argue with you." She bent down, threw the bag of firewood on her back, and swayed away.
At the right moment, Father Qiao cleared his throat and said, "Everyone here is a man with sons and daughters. Thinking about ourselves, we don't want something to happen to us one day, and our children will suffer accordingly."
This sentence is pertinent and has attitude.
People in the village don't like to listen to those high-sounding principles. They will only listen to those that are relevant to them.
This is indeed the principle of connecting to oneself.
Some people who followed the trend and hated Qin Jiashu also began to realize that there was something wrong with their own thinking.
Everyone left one after another, and Father Qiao and Mother Qiao looked at each other.
No need to explain anything, the two of them saw a tacit understanding in each other's eyes.
Mother Qiao stood up to prove to her daughter that she had not bullied Qin Jiashu, while Father Qiao stood up to express his attitude on this matter. They were not speaking for Qin Jiashu, but for justice.
There was only the last bowl of mung bean soup left. Mother Qiao brought it to Qiao Xi and said, "Girl, take the last bowl and drink it slowly. Mom has gone to work. Please sit down and rest for a while."
Qiao Xi didn't answer: "Mom, you only drank half a bowl just now. You can drink it. I'm not thirsty."
Seeing that Qiao's mother was about to refuse, Qiao Xi deliberately looked uncomfortable: "Mom, I've been doing this for so long just to make you drink. If you don't drink, I feel like I've done it in vain."
Her original intention at the beginning was not to win everyone's favor.
Mother Qiao couldn't see her daughter's grievance, so she quickly put the bowl to her mouth: "Okay, okay, I'll drink. How could I let my daughter do it in vain?"
Mother Qiao drank it all in one gulp, and then Qiao Xi raised her lips and smiled.
She smiled and praised Mother Qiao: "Mom, you are so majestic."
Mother Qiao was afraid that her daughter would pay too much attention to Qin Jiashu, so she warned, "Your mother and father are both sensible people. You are a girl, so don't worry about this."
"Yeah, I know." Qiao Xi nodded obediently.
Only then did Mother Qiao become happy at the girl's compliment: "I just want to show them my authority. With your mother and me here, it's impossible for others to bully you."
…
On the other side of the field, Wa Changle and Wa Changyuan both looked at Qin Jiashu.
They all clearly heard Mother Qiao's rebuttal to Mrs. Zhang just now.
Wa Changyuan had a complicated expression on her face. She didn't expect that the tigress in her mouth was so sensible.
Qin Jiashu never expected that his seemingly expressionless face was actually full of waves.
He didn't understand, why would you help him speak?
It was obvious that Mother Qiao never spoke politely in front of him.
But no matter what, he remembered it for his kindness in speaking up.
As for more, he won't think about it and doesn't dare to think about it.
…
After everyone in the Qiao family started working one after another, Qiao Xi also carried basins and bowls and prepared to go home.
Walking onto the path, she saw Qin Jiashu wielding a hoe in the field by the roadside.
Qin Jiashu's sleeves were rolled up to his shoulders, and his strong arms were tanned, with the rolled up part and the lower part showing two different colors.
She wanted to ask Qin Jiashu whether the buns were delicious and whether he liked eating them, but Mother Qiao was looking at her behind her, and there were people next to Qin Jiashu, so it was really inconvenient.
With so many people, she would definitely be overthinking if she suddenly spoke to Qin Jiashu.
So forget it.
Qiao Xi withdrew his gaze, pressed the brim of his straw hat to prevent more sunlight from shining on his face, and walked past Qin Jiashu.
What she didn't notice was that after she passed by, Qin Jiashu put down his rolled-up sleeves.
The muscles that were brimming with blood had also weakened a bit.
…
Josie felt that the sun was still hot and wanted to go home quickly, so she walked faster.
Just as she walked into the alley, Sun Hailan suddenly jumped out of nowhere.
Josie was startled: "Ah!"
After she saw clearly that it was Sun Hailan, she put down the hand covering her chest and the expression on her face became calm: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by deliberately scaring me?"
"I didn't mean to scare you, it's just that you are timid." Sun Hailan wasn't angry either.
Qiao Xi pursed her lips and glanced at Sun Hailan.
If Sun Hailan wanted to come back home, she would definitely not have such an arrogant attitude. After all, she has a certain weight in this family, and Sun Hailan would not be stupid enough to mess with her.
Then why did Sun Hailan come here all the time?
Qiao Xi was not sure, so she didn't want to take the initiative to talk to him and walked towards home.
After she took a few steps, she was caught by Sun Hailan who was chasing her.
Qiao Xi didn't want to push around with the pregnant person, so she didn't move. She just looked at Sun Hailan displeased and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"What do you think I want to do?" Sun Hailan suddenly showed a malicious smile: "These days, you often criticize me in front of my mother-in-law. Don't think that I don't know. It's just you who is meddling in not letting me go home, for fear of
When I come back, everyone will stop hanging around you!"
Otherwise, how could Qiao Dong leave her and Panpan alone?
The most important thing is that she has a son in her belly!
Qiao Xi frowned when he heard this, and his face became more and more ugly: "You took Qiao yourself and didn't want to come back. What does it have to do with me?"
At this time, several women happened to enter the alley.
When Sun Hailan saw it, she plopped down and knelt down in front of Qiao Xi: "Sister-in-law, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have treated you badly. Please forgive me!"
