Hearing the old woman's question, Qiaoer came back to his senses.
"Mom...it's me...I'm back..."
Qiaoer stood up from the ground, looked at the old woman, and couldn't help but shed tears in her eyes.
But the old woman opposite looked at Qiaoer for a long time with a look of disbelief, then she swallowed her saliva, looked happy, threw away the stick, and rushed over in a hurry.
"Girl, is it really you?"
"It's really me, mother!"
Mother and daughter reunited, Qin Shaoyou and Lao Hong looked at each other and couldn't help but chuckle.
Qiaoer wanted to hug the old woman, but the old woman subconsciously took a step back. She looked Qiaoer up and down, and then said with a click of her tongue:
"Girl, your clothes cost a lot of money, right?"
"I really didn't expect that my girl is so well dressed now..."
"Mom, this dress is worthless. All the maids in our villa wear this..."
"Oh, by the way, mother, let me introduce you."
"This is my young master, the owner of Baiyun Villa."
Qiaoer hurriedly turned aside and introduced the old woman.
The old woman rolled her eyes, and after thinking for a moment, she took Qiaoer and hid aside to whisper.
All this made Qin Shaoyou and Lao Hong look at each other in confusion.
"Girl, tell me the truth, did you marry him?"
Qiaoer's face changed drastically when he heard this, and his ears immediately turned extremely red.
"Mom, what are you talking nonsense about?"
"Master, he is only...fourteen years old!"
"Heh heh heh! You still want to lie to your mother? If it weren't for the marriage, would you be able to wear such nice clothes? Also, if mother read it right, it was the young master who sent you back, right?"
"A man and a woman are alone in a carriage. Who knows what you are doing in there?!"
"Okay, you damn girl, you are enjoying yourself outside, but you have forgotten your parents!?"
"You still have the nerve to come back now?!"
The old woman spoke in a flurry of words. She couldn't wait for Qiao'er's reaction, but slapped him forward.
Qiaoer, I was stunned all of a sudden.
Qin Shaoyou and Lao Hong were also stunned by this slap.
What is going on?
But the next moment, the old woman walked towards them commandingly and stood in front of the two of them. Her eyes flickered and then fell on Qin Shaoyou.
"Young Master, since you slept with my girl, you should make up for the betrothal gift now!"
"I don't want much, just...a hundred taels!"
"No, two hundred taels!"
"Two hundred taels, not a penny less!"
The old woman pointed to the sky and shouted without any explanation.
"Mom! Don't talk nonsense! Master, he didn't..."
"Crack!"
Another slap came down.
"Damn girl, it's not your turn to speak here! Shut up!"
The old woman was obviously convinced that Qin Shaoyou had slept with Qiaoer, and now the lion asked Qin Shaoyou for money.
And she can have such courage. On the one hand, she is a wild shrew who is unreasonable and unforgiving. On the other hand, she is also convinced that Qin Shaoyou is only fourteen years old and has an immature mind.
Qin Shaoyou is extorting a lot of money here.
Qin Shaoyou was startled.
Indeed, when he was at Baiyun Villa, Qiao'er's "innocence" had long been destroyed by him. At this time, he wanted to defend himself, but maybe he felt guilty, but he didn't know what to say for a while.
And this scene was all seen by the old woman.
Now, the old woman was even more certain of her judgment.
"You shrew, stop messing around!"
"My young master is going away on business and is just bringing Qiao'er back. Are you not afraid of being laughed at by the neighbors by slandering your daughter's innocence?"
Lao Hong was furious and asked angrily.
"Who do you think you are? I'm talking to my son-in-law now. You old fool, shut up!"
The old woman turned her mouth sideways and let out a sharper scream.
This made Lao Hong so angry that he almost took off on the spot.
At this moment, a violent coughing sound came from inside the house, and a depressed middle-aged man walked out holding on to the door frame.
"Old lady, what's so noisy?"
"His father!"
"Your unfilial daughter married into a good family outside and forgot about our old couple!"
"Conscience of heaven and earth, why is my life so miserable..."
As soon as she saw her husband coming out, the old woman seemed to have taken some reassurance. She sat down on the ground and started making a fuss even more wantonly.
At this time, as the protagonist of this trip home to visit relatives, Qiaoer has been completely forgotten.
The middle-aged man took a few deep breaths, then looked up at Qiao'er, and then at Qin Shaoyou. Suddenly, his expression suddenly changed, and then he spit out a large mouthful of blood.
The old woman was so frightened that she immediately got up from her place.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"Don't scare me!"
The middle-aged man took a few more breaths, then waved his hands and said feebly:
"I haven't drank the magic medicine for a month. If I don't buy the medicine, I will die..."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
The old woman immediately cast a vicious look and fell on Qiaoer.
"Damn girl!"
"You said you were just enjoying life outside, but in the past few months, you haven't even sent monthly reports home!"
"Why, you want to kill your father!"
Qiaoer was confused.
"Mom, what are you talking nonsense about?"
"I send you money every month!"
"Didn't you receive it?"
Hearing this, the old woman became even more furious.
"Well, you unfilial girl! How dare you lie in front of me!"
"Let me see if I don't tear your mouth apart today!"
As the old woman spoke, she wanted to rush over and slap Qiaoer again.
Qin Shaoyou really didn't expect that this Qiao'er seemed reasonable, but why were her parents so messy and indifferent to right from wrong?
He gave Lao Hong a look, and the latter immediately understood. In a flash, he appeared next to Qiaoer and reached out to grab the old woman's wrist.
"you!"
The old woman was stunned for a moment, and then slowly looked at her wrist.
"Indecent!"
"It's lawless! This is it! You molested me, an old woman, in front of my husband in broad daylight. I have no shame in living!"
The murderous intent in Lao Hong's eyes surged, he turned his hand and knocked the old woman away. The latter spun around in the air, and then landed on the haystack with a clang.
After a quick glance, he passed out.
"mother?!"
Qiaoer was startled and quickly looked at Lao Hong.
"She's fine, I just asked her to be quiet for a while."
Lao Hong said to her softly.
Qiaoer felt a little relieved now.
To be honest, when she left a few years ago, her mother was not what she is now. I really don’t know what happened in this family all these years.
It's okay to ask her mother to be quiet for a while.
As for Lao Hong, he had indeed had murderous intentions just now. If it weren't for Qiao'er's sake, that slap just now would have beaten the old woman into a ball of flesh!
"you!"
The middle-aged man looked at all this in a daze, as if he hadn't reacted for a while.
"You are going too far!"
"puff!"
Just as the middle-aged man was about to collapse and die, Qin Shaoyou turned into an afterimage and appeared behind the middle-aged man in an instant.
After approaching the middle-aged man, Qin Shaoyou frowned slightly and focused his eyes on the blood he spit out.
"Your father is not sick, but poisoned!"
Qin Shaoyou looked at Qiao'er beside him and said solemnly.
