Chapter 355:1 Won’t Let You Leave the Wheat Field!
Translator: 549690339 |
They say husband and wife are as one, and Sun Family harbored grudges against Qiao Qinghe, but she never hated him.
When they were driven out of the village, Qiao Qinghe had packed up many things from their home for her and their daughter.
Even though he never visited them, she didn’t hate him, not one bit.
She always knew Qiao Qinghe’s temperament.
Initially, she fell deeply in love with his special character, a mix of scholar-like, righteous, and melancholic. And of course, his handsome face. So, she schemed to keep Qiao Qinghe in her bed.
Throughout these years, except for the past few months, Qiao Qinghe had never spoken harshly to her, even when she made a mistake, he always reasoned with her.
He was utterly unlike the brutal men in the village who would casually beat their wives.
She was willing to serve him.
Even though Qiao Qinghe had hit her before, his place in her heart remained unchanged. Hearing their unfilial son’s words now, she couldn’t help but feel angry, her shoe flew up in the air with astonishing momentum.
Now it was Zhu Cuiying and Qiao Changfu’s turn to run, “Mother, don’t hit us, don’t hit us. I’ll go and help dad with the cart right away.”
” Why didn’t I drown you in a cesspit when you were a baby!”
“All, mom, hasn’t Changsun not been helping dad either? His family is now spending money every day on hired help.” As he dodged Qiao Changfu, he shifted the blame onto Qiao Changsun, “Although Changsun has severed ties with you, he hasn’t with dad!”
On hearing this, Sun Family spit vehemently on the ground, “Damn you! You know I’ve severed all ties with him. I can’t discipline him, so I will discipline you!”
As she spoke, she raised her shoe and struck ferociously at Qiao Changfu, “You ungrateful wretch, like a dog, even a well-fed dog would be grateful and obedient when given a bone.”
“The whole damn family, old and young alike, are ungrateful wretches! Why won’t heaven strike you dead with lightning!”
“You’re less than a beast, unable to control your wife or your daughter. You might as well die by falling head first!”
His heart ached so much. Why, from so far away, did her words still feel like knives stabbing into him?
And, Sun Family was cursing so viciously, was she really hoping for his death?
Qiao Xiaomai snorted coldly and said, “Sun Family, spare us your veiled insults. I went to see my grandfather, and it was he who refused to accept help, not my dad. Stop blaming un-filial acts on him.”
Qiao Qinghe felt that the fact that the family had become was his responsibility.
So, he rejected her offer to help and insisted on harvesting the wheat by himself.
Being tired was better, physical exhaustion would prevent him from overthinking.
When tired, the intense feelings of guilt and shame in his heart would lessen.
But, now it had become Sun Family’s excuse to attack Qiao Changsun. The rightful source is novᴇlfire.net
“If my dad were unfilial, do you think he could have stood all the robbery at home for over a decade?”
“I’m warning you, don’t think that just because you’ve clung to General Cen’s thigh, you can strut around the village. Keep spouting shit from your mouth, and see if I don’t make you leave this harvest field!”
Everyone present was stunned at her words.
Including the wailing Zhu Cuiying and others.
Honestly, Qiao Xiaomai had turned into a stone, cold and hard, never letting anyone in the old courtyard take advantage of her.
But the stone was just a stone, and wouldn’t hurt anyone as long as they didn’t provoke it.
Even if provoked, like Sun Family, in respect of filial duty, she would rather hurt herself than lay a finger on Sun Family.
But now she had made such a declaration: to prevent Sun Family from leaving the harvest field!
Oh god, was Qiao Xiaomai, this hard stone, about to cross another line and strike her own grandmother?!
