Adored Koi in the ’70s

Chapter 58

In the end, curiosity wins. Chu Sheng Mei took the sketches into hand on the table and examined it.

Alike!

Exactly alike!

Especially that pair of eyes. They were almost identical to her little niece. And her demeanor was also very similar.

Why did Shen Family have a sketch of her little niece? Or did someone look similar?

Just at this time, Shen Lin Lin came out with two cups of tea.

Only then did Chu Sheng Mei realize that her behavior was rude. Immediately, she stood up and apologized, "I'm sorry. I touched something on the table without your consent!"

Shen Lin Lin didn't mind: "It's fine. Just take it if you want to look. The little girl in the sketch is an unfortunate child who was kidnapped by traffickers. If you see someone who looks like her someday, remember to tell me!"

Chu Sheng Mei's heart thumped. Her face was a little weird: "You mean the little girl in the sketch was kidnapped?"

Shen Lin Lin came over, put two cups of tea on the table, and sighed: "Yes, this little girl's name is little Wan'er..."

She briefly told her friend about how little Wan'er got lost.

After listening, the expression on Chu Sheng Mei's face became even more strange.

The two little girls looked so similar, were about the same age, and had similar personalities. Except for the fact that her brother's little niece's parents died, the rest match.

It was so similar that she can't pretend she didn't know anything.

Shen Lin Lin noticed the strangeness of her friend and asked, "What's wrong? Where do you feel unwell?"

Chu Sheng Mei bit her lip and shook her head.

After a while, she seemed to make up her mind: "I have something to tell you."

Then she told her friend about her eldest brother and eldest sister's adopting Chu Wan.

Shen Lin Lin's eyes widened when she heard the end. She grabbed her friend's hand excitedly and said, "You said that the little niece your elder brother adopted looks a lot like the person in this sketch? And she was rescued from the traffickers?"

Chu Sheng Mei nodded: "Very similar. The personality is very similar to your description. I have been with my little niece for half a month. She hasn't said a word to me even until now. However, my little niece has parents. What's more, the police confirmed that her biological parents had passed away. So I'm not sure."

Shen Lin Lin bit her lower lip and thought for a while: "Sheng Mei, I think it's better to tell Qiao Family about this matter. If it's just a misunderstanding, your family can adopt the child with more confidence in the future. If there was a mistake, I think... the child should be returned to the parents. What do you think?"

Chu Sheng Mei didn't answer immediately.

She selfishly hoped that it was just a coincidence. After all, she took in how much her elder brother and elder sister-in-law loved that child.

A few years ago, when her own niece died, both her elder brother and elder sister-in-law were very sad, Especially her elder sister-in-law, who almost followed the child.

Now that they have finally transferred their feelings to this child. It would be cruel to take the child away from them!

Seeing that her friend didn't say anything, Shen Lin Lin was a little anxious: "Sheng Mei, I understand that you are reluctant to separate from that child, but you don't know how pitiful little Wan'er's father is. That day when he heard that my elder brother was willing to help, the grown man was crying. I heard that he had gone to the county and provincial city several times to find her. You..."

Seeing that her friend was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, Chu Sheng Mei suddenly couldn't help laughing: "Look at you being anxious, I didn't say I didn't want to!"

When Shen Lin Lin heard these words, she breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great! I was so afraid of your rejection!"

This matter must be approved by her friend. She didn't want to affect the relationship between the two because of this matter!

Chu Sheng Mei said: "For a moment, I wanted to refuse. But thinking about the pain of family losing a child, I think even if my elder brother and elder sister-in-law will agree with me if they know about it!"

Shen Lin Lin was an impatient personality. She stood up and stated, "Then let's go to Qiao's house now!"

There was only one car at home, which was driven away by her elder brother. Fortunately, there was a bicycle at home.

Shen Lin Lin pushed out the bicycle, turned her head and raised her chin towards Chu Sheng Mei, "Come on up, I'll take you!"

...

Qiao's old house.

After Shen Shi Kai stated his purpose of coming this time, he shut up and watched Qiao Family.

Everyone in Qiao Family was very surprised when they heard that they wanted to recognize Da Qiao as their goddaughter.

Wan Chun Ju was crouching under the window. When she heard this, she was very anxious.

Aiya, what was with Shen Family?

How much wonderful was her family An Ping? Smart and good-looking. Why didn't they want to accept An Ping as their godson?

At worst, she still had two daughters. Why did they take a fancy of the calamity, Da Qiao?

Just as Qiao Zhen Guo came in from outside, Wan Chun Ju hurried over and told her man about this.

After listening, Qiao Zhen Guo, he sighed, "Wife, you have to admit that our children are indeed not as good-looking as Da Qiao. It's all your fault..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Don't talk!" Wan Chun Ju wanted to curse when she heard the words 'it's all your fault'. "Just tell me what to do now? How about you go in and get Mom to tell them to recognize our children as godson and goddaughters?"

Qiao Zhen Guo looked at her with the gaze of looking at a mentally retarded: "Wife, how can you only grow flesh but not brains? Our children are neither smart nor good-looking, just like you. Why do people want them as godson and goddaughters? Wife, we must have self-awareness as a human being!"

As he said that, he had a sincere expression. He raised his hand and solemnly patted her shoulder.

Wan Chun Ju: "..."

Simply infuriating her to death!

She had stopped him from saying "it's all your fault". How could he still be able to turn around and say she's stupid and ugly?

The two sisters Qiao Dong Ying and Qiao Dong He who came out of the room were speechless when they heard their parents' conversation.

Qiao Xiu Zhi contemplated for a while and spoke, "You have to ask Da Qiao's parents about this."

Shen Shi Kai and Qin Xiao Mei naturally had no objection.

Just as Qiao Zhen Guo came in, Qiao Xiu Zhi immediately told him to notify old Second and Lin Hui to come.

After Qiao Zhen Jun arrived, he found out that Shen Family wanted to recognize his daughter as goddaughter and was stunned for a long time: "You aren't joking?"

Shen Shi Kai couldn't help laughing: "If we want to make a joke, we won't use this kind of matter to. Not to mention bringing so many things over a thousand miles for a joke. We would be overboard, no?"

That was right.

Qiao Zhen Jun nodded: "Why Da Qiao?"

Shen Shi Kai raised his eyebrows: "Why can't it be Da Qiao? Do you think the child is not good enough? Or do you think she is not cute enough?"

Qiao Zhen Jun was at a loss for words: "As long as you really love the child, I, as a dad, will naturally not object. But the child is already sensible, so we should ask her personally about it."

As soon as Da Qiao entered, everyone's eyes focused on her.

Da Qiao greeted everyone politely.

Seeing her soft and cute appearance, Qin Xiao Mei's heart instantly melted. She went up to grasped her hand and said, "Da Qiao, do you like me and Uncle Shen?"

Shen Tian You ran over and dissatisfiedly complained, "Mom, why did you forget me?"

Qin Xiao Mei amusedly added, "Yes, yes! And you. Ask if Da Qiao likes you?"

Shen Tian You already knew that his parents wanted to recognize Da Qiao as his elder sister., and he was very satisfied with this arrangement: "Elder Sister Da Qiao, my parents want to recognize you as their god daughter. That is, letting you be my god-sister. Would you like to?"

Da Qiao's big eyes blinked, showing a trace of confusion. She turned to her grandmother.

Qiao Xiu Zhi came over and rubbed her hair, "Your grandfather and I don't have any objections. Your dad too. Your Uncle Shen and Auntie Qin are both good people."

At first, when she heard that Shen Family wanted to recognize Da Qiao as their goddaughter, she was a little shocked. Soon, she was relieved after the shock.

After all, their Qiao family was just commoners. There was nothing for Shen Family to conspire. On the contrary, in the eyes of the world, their Qiao Family had risen in position.

They like Da Qiao so much. This was the fate of Da Qiao and Shen Family. It was Da Qiao's own opportunity. She had no reason to stop her.

Da Qiao looked at the woman in front of her who was looking at her tenderly and expectant Younger Brother Tian You. She lightly replied, "If I am to be your goddaughter, would I still be my parents' daughter?"

She liked her current family very much. She didn't want to leave them at all.

Qin Xiao Mei grinned and answered: "Of course. After becoming our goddaughter, you are still your parents' daughter. You'll still live in Qiao's house. Nothing has changed from before!"

Since it was still the same as before, there was nothing to worry about.

Da Qiao blinked her beautiful misty apricot eyes and said softly, "Then I'm willing."

Qin Xiao Mei was instantly elated. Even happier than when Shen Shi Kai went home to ask for marriage.

From today onwards, she also had a daughter!

After Lin Hui came back, she felt a little sour when she saw Qin Xiao Mei hugging Da Qiao intimately and not letting go.

Daughter just called her Mom. Why did a godmother arrive with a turn of a head?

But soon her perspective turn.

Da Qiao lived so bitterly in the past. Now the bitterness end and sweetness was here. So many people like her. It was her blessing. She should be happy for her!

Qin Xiao Mei and Lin Hui were both very gentle women. After the two chatted, they quickly became bosom friends.

After Qin Xiao Mei knew that the clothes that Da Qiao was wearing were made by Lin Hui, she was even more envious: "To be honest, my hands are jinxed. Let alone making clothes, I can't do anything related to handcraft as they end up horrific!"

It was the first time that Lin Hui heard people humiliate themselves like this. So she couldn't help laughing: "Actually, these things are very easy to do. I casually made these. It just happened that the child's birthday was today, so I rushed making it."

Qin Xiao Mei's eyes widened: "What? Today is my precious goddaughter's birthday? Why didn't you tell us earlier?"

It was definitely too late to go back to prepare gifts. Qin Xiao Mei touched her whole body and found nothing suitable. Then she called her son over.

Shen Tian You didn't know what his mom wanted to do. To his surprise, the gold pendant on his neck would taken off by his mom as soon as he stood still.

"Son, this is a birthday present for your elder sister. Mom supplement something for you later." Qin Xiao Mei said as a matter of course.

Shen Tian You: Are you still my mom?

Because of the arrival of Shen Family, lunch was prepared even more abundantly.

Xue Chuan had made red jujube cake for Da Qiao. The sweet red jujube cake was made with brown sugar and red dates. It was fragrant and soft with the fragrance of red dates.

The few kids liked it very much.

This meal can also be regarded as Da Qiao's godparent recognition meal. At the dinner table, she sweetly changed her addressment to godfather and godmother.

Qin Xiao Mei was so delighted that her smile grinned from ear to ear. She put the gold pendant taken from her own son on Da Qiao herself.

Qiao Zhen Jun felt it was inappropriate: "This gift is too precious. You should take it back."

Shen Shi Kai responded, "It's just a gold pendant. Da Qiao is willing to be our goddaughter. How can we be stingy as godparents?"

Da Qiao grabbed shiny golden pendant, blinked her big eyes and said, "Godmother, this gift is too precious. You should take it back."

Qin Xiao Mei encountered her deer-like eyes and her heart softened: "It's not precious. How is it precious? As long as you like it, godmother will buy you everything!"

Da Qiao saw that Godmother really didn't want to take it back, she tilted her head and thought about it. Then she leaned in and kissed her face: "Thank you Godmother, I like it very much."

Qin Xiao Mei's heart suddenly seemed to be thrown into the honey water. Every cell was soaked in sweetness and joy.

Shen Tian You was beside his 'Sister Eagle'. Completely unaware that his mom was stolen by someone.

At the opposite side, Wan Chun Ju stared at the golden pendant. Her whole person was about to turn into a sour radish.

How come all the good things were taken up by the bootlicker Da Qiao?

So vexing!

Qiao Zhen Min sat in the corner, watching everyone's joy and laughter. His heart burst with bitterness.

Don't know where his daughter will be at this time?

Was she full? Dressed warmly? Would the person who kidnapped her treat her well?

If it was a boy who was kidnapped, he could lie to himself and say that the child might go to a family had no son. However, little Wan'er was a girl and didn't like to talk. He really didn't dare to think deeply about what would happen to her.

When he was transporting, he often heard that someone had given birth to too many daughters and sold their daughter to be a child bride. None of the children who were child brides lived well.

What would he do if his little Wan'er was also sold as a child bride?

Just the thought made his heart hurt so much that he couldn't breathe!

He lowered his head to hide his sadness, not wanting to affect everyone's mood because of his own affairs.

...

At Fang's house.

When Fang Xiao Juan woke up, she found that she wasn't poisoned. Gratefulness and hatred brewed in her heart. She cursed Lin Hui and Da Qiao hundreds of times before walking back slowly.

When she got home, Wang Xin Sheng stormed in before she could sit down and slapped her without a word!

Fang Xiao Juan was stunned. The next moment her fire flared up: "Wang Xin Sheng, you f*cking beat me again? If you don't make it clear today, I will fight with you!"

These days can't can't go on!

She was bullied outside. As her man, it was enough that he didn't support her. Instead, he was rough on her!

Wang Xin Sheng uttered with a livid face: "How many times have I warned you not to go out and cause trouble again? Have you listened to my words? If you don't want to, then get out of here!"

Fang Xiao Juan was trembling with anger: "You surnamed Wang bastard. If you hadn't kept saying that you would treat me well, how could I have been with you? Now that you have me, you don't cherish me, right?"

Wang Xin Sheng pouted and mocked: "Fang Xiao Juan, don't say how wronged and innocent you were. If you were really a good woman, you wouldn't have slept with me before you got married! If I were a bastard, you would be a slut. Which one of us can disdain the other? But let me tell you, I'm not afraid of you going to the community to report me. So if you still want to stay in Wang's house, be obedient. If not, get out of here as soon as possible!"

After he finished speaking, he didn't give Fang Xiao Juan any chance to refute. He took the remaining cash at home, turned around and left again.

"Wang Xin Sheng, come back here!"

Fang Xiao Juan screamed at Wang Xin Sheng's back. So exasperated that she was about to explode!

Pissing her off!

What the hell did she married to?

Fang Xiao Juan became angrier the more she thought about it. Finally, she couldn't help crying loudly with a 'WAA'.

Xiao Qiao, who was cooking in the kitchen, sat in front of the stove with a look of indifference.

Today was her birthday. But she had been doing housework since she woke up in the morning.

No red eggs. No longevity noodles. No brown sugar cakes. Not to mention new clothes!

Nothing at all!

Her mom's wailing kept sounding in her ears. She didn't want to go over to comfort her at all.

In the past at Qiao's house, her mom also scolded people every day. At that time she didn't feel annoyed at all because it was none of her business.

At that time, the person who was scolded was Da Qiao. While she ate well and dressed well. No chores were needed to be done. So she never felt that there was any problem with her mom's character.

But now, she had enough of her mom!

With such a good life, she had to tossed around every day. To the point that no one could have a happy birthday!

And to be able to play a good deck of cards into this messy situation, her mom was quite capable!

"Xiao Qiao, Xiao Qiao! Come here!" Fang Xiao Juan's sharp voice came from the main room.

Xiao Qiao turned a deaf ear. She stood up suddenly, turned around, and ran out.

She ran to Qiao's small house in a fit of anger.

But Qiao's small hosue was quiet .There was no one there.

She approached and wanted to see what was going on, when a dog suddenly jumped up from the side and rushed towards her.

"Woof woof woof!"

Xiao Qiao's face turned pale with fright. If there were no courtyard doors blocking her, she would have been knocked down by this damn dog at this moment!

Pi Pi continued to eye at Xiao Qiao: "Woof woof woof..."

Since the pears in Qiao's small house matured, many people wanted to secretly pick pears. Unfortunately, they were unsuccessful.

Pi Pi grew up drinking water with jade beads. Not only was it bigger than a normal dog, its hearing was also very sharp. Once the wind blow over any movement, it will immediately fly over!

Now Pi Pi had become a tyrant in the village. The adults and children in the village were very afraid of it.

Xiao Qiao secretly muttered some curse. She guessed that the people in Qiao's small house went to the old house.

She pondered for a while before walking towards the old house.

When she came to the old house, she saw that the door of the old house was opened and a group of people came out.

Xiao Qiao subconsciously hid behind a big tree.

Qin Xiao Mei held Da Qiao's hand and said with a look of reluctance: "Next week on your break, godmother will get the driver to come and pick you up to stay at home in the town. Then Godmother will take you to buy a nice dress."

Da Qiao snuggled up in the arms of her godmother. She raised her head with a sweet smile, and said softly, "Thank you Godmother, but I have enough clothes to wear. So you don't need to buy them for me."

Qin Xiao Mei took in Da Qiao's happily curved brows and eyes and how pure and fair her face was. Such a beautiful girl. On top of that, she said such thoughtful words. It really melt her heart.

She reached out and touched the child's fair and tender face, "You don't have to save money for Godmother. Godmother just likes to see you dressed up prettily."

The little girl looked so good-looking. Just looking at her, her mood was good.

What's more, now that Da Qiao had become her goddaughter, she will definitely dress her up so that her best friends will envy her!

The onlookers were shocked when they heard the conversation between Qin Xiao Mei and Da Qiao!

What?

Godmother?

Could it be that the deputy chief's wife recognized Da Qiao as their goddaughter?

Someone secretly went to black-faced Wan Chun Ju to inquire.

Although Wan Chun Ju felt sour in her heart, she couldn't help showing off in front of outsiders: "Yes, Shen Family is very grateful to our Qiao Family for saving their son and really want to interact with our Qiao Family as relative for long term. So they recognized Da Qiao as a goddaughter."

"Oh, originally they took a fancy to my An Ping first. But I wasn't willing to. My An Ping is the only male grandson of Qiao Family. How can he call others Dad and Mom? It just so happens that Da Qiao knew how to bootlick and coax the whole family happy. So they recognized her!"

Some people believed Wan Chun Ju's words, while others couldn't help but pouted.

Saying such big lie without writing a draft. Her tone was as sour as the old jar of vinegar. She can't bear it!

But no matter why Shen Family took a fancy with Da Qiao, the result was enough to make everyone envious.

"Oh, Da Qiao is really lucky. To actually become the daughter of deputy chief!"

"Ain't that right. I really envy to death! In the future, she will be the daughter of the deputy chief's family. She will be different from us mud-leg!"

"Who said that Da Qiao is a calamity star? I think she is very lucky! I wonder if Fang Xiao Juan will regret it when she finds out?"

"I think the person born with bad luck is actually Fang Xiao Juan! When she was at Qiao's house, Qiao Family met with misfortune one after another. As soon as she left, Qiao Family immediately became prosperous!"

The more one think about it, the more reasonable it seem.

As soon as Fang Xiao Juan left, Qiao Family's pear tree bloomed and old Second Qiao's legs were healed. Now Da Qiao had become the deputy chief's goddaughter. While Fang Family had been unlucky again and again.

Xiao Qiao, who was hiding behind the big tree, was also shocked and resentful. Her eyes were so jealous that it was similar to rabbit's red eye.

It must be Da Qiao who stole her luck!

Otherwise, she should be the one who became the deputy chief's daughter!

After Shen Family's reluctant to part, they were about to get into the car when they saw a bicycle riding over here: "Elder Brother, don't go in yet. I have something to tell you!"

Seeing his younger sister, Shen Shi Kai turned to his wife and said, "Why did Lin Lin come here at this time?"

Qin Xiao Mei shook her head. Replying, that she had no clue.

Once Shen Lin Lin entered the main room of Qiao's house, she breathlessly told everyone the matter. Everyone was shocked.

Especially Qiao Zhen Min. His hands trembled with excitement. He approached Chu Sheng Mei with red eyes and spoke, "This miss, did you say your elder brother's adopted daughter is very similar to this sketch?"

Chu Sheng Mei was startled by his appearance, but soon calmed down. She nodded and responded, "Yes, there are eighty to ninety similarities. The personality matched to what you described. But you heard it just now, my elder brother's adopted child's parents have passed away. So... don't hold out too much hope."

Qiao Zhen Min took a deep breath and stated, "I know, I know. But I still want to confirm it myself."

With so many coincidences, he couldn't convince the other party that it wasn't little Wan'er. So he had to see it with his own eyes before giving up!

Chu Sheng Mei nodded to indicate her understanding: "This is no problem. My elder brother and elder sister-in-law took Wan Wan back to my elder sister-in-law's maternal home. There is no way to call them and tell them about it. They will not be back until two days later. However, you can follow me back to the provincial city now. When we get to the provincial city, they will come back just in time."

Qiao Zhen Min nodded like a woodpecker: "Okay, okay. I'll pack up and go with you!"

Because Chu Sheng Mei was an unmarried miss, it was inconvenient for Qiao Zhen Min to go alone with her. So Qiao Xiu Zhi decided to go together.
