Adored Koi in the ’70s

Chapter 62

When Da Qiao heard the news, she just came back from school.

An old auntie stopped her, "Da Qiao, your mother fell and bled. The baby is gone. Tsk tsk tsk, so pitiful!"

Da Qiao's face instantly turned pale. She circled around the other party and wildly ran towards the house!

"Elder Sister, when did Younger Sister Da Qiao become a fast runner?"

An Ping only felt a gust of wind whizzing past him. When he looked up, his younger cousin sister had turned into a small black spot.

Qiao Dong Ying was also shocked. She didn't expect Da Qiao, such a cute little dumpling, to run so fast. She might not even run as fast as her!

The villager who told Da Qiao the news was also stunned. Once her mind wrapped around, she noted that Da Qiao was sprinting in the direction of Qiao's small house. She slapped her thigh and yelled, "Oh, it's wrong. Not your stepmom. It's the mother who gave birth to you who miscarried!"

But Da Qiao was so far away and couldn't hear her.

Da Qiao ran towards the house. When passing by the pigsty, Huo Chi happened to come out with a large rattan basket of pig manure as she flew directly past him.

Huo Chi: "..."

He dropped the big rattan basket and hurried to catch up. But against the speed-runner little girl, he almost ran out of breath to catch up with her: "You... why you are running, in such a hurry? What, happened? "

Da Qiao dashed all the way and his face wasn't red or panting. She still felt that his stuttering speech was very similar to her previous self: "My mom fell and bled. I'm in a hurry to go back to see her!"

When Huo Chi heard that something big happened at her family, he was worried for her. He couldn't help anything though. Not even accompanying her all the way!

Damn it!

Seeing a villager walking toward them in front, he had to stop and watch her get further and further away from him!

Dai Shu Fang saw her son run out suddenly. Before she have the time to ask him, he had already run away without a trace. Now that he came back with his head down, she hurriedly asked, "Where did you go just now? Why are you like this?"

Huo Chi raised his head and looked at his mom with his slender eyes, "Mom, can we only be wicked ones for the rest of our lives?"

When Dai Shu Fang heard this, her throat choked. She felt so depressed that she almost shed tears.

Their Huo Family had never done anything wrong to the country or the common people. Still, they ended up like this!

The two words "wicked ones" were like two mountains pressing on their family of three. If this identity wasn't removed, they will never be able to succeed in their entire lives!

She and her father-in-law were getting older. It didn't matter much in this life if they kept living like this. But Huo Chi was still young. If one day she and her father-in-law both pass, what will happen to this child?

Can't let him stay in the pigsty and pick pig dung all his life, right?

But if not like this, what can she do?

Huo Chi took in his mom's sad expression, picked up the shovel and the big rattan basket on the side and walked back to the pigsty. He vented his anger and helplessness through work.

Da Qiao rushed back to Qiao's small house. After searching around, she couldn't find anyone and became even more anxious.

She hurriedly rushed out again and bolted to Qiao's old house. She almost bumped into Wan Chun Ju who came out with her arms on her waist.

Wan Chun Ju's face turned pale with fright. After seeing clearly that it was Da Qiao, she immediately scolded: "You dead girl, you're rushing to get reborn? If you bump into my stomach, can you compensate for it?"

Da Qiao quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Eldest Aunt. I didn't mean it! I'm in a hurry to find my mom. Do you know how she is now?"

Wan Chun Ju persisted: "How am I to know how your mom is? I'm not her servant and serve her 24 hours a day! Also, don't change the subject. Just now, you bump into me on purpose, right?"

Maybe Lin Hui deliberately taught her to bump her belly. Once her baby is knocked off and if Lin Hui gave birth to a son, she would be able to share the weight with her equally!

The more Wan Chun Ju thought about it, the more likely it felt it was. At once she flared up: "You black-hearted thing! Actually wanting to knock off the baby in my belly. So vicious at a young age. See how I'll sort you out!"

As she said that, she glanced around quickly, saw the broom beside the courtyard gate, picked it up, and swung it at Da Qiao!

Da Qiao didn't expect that her eldest aunt would put her word into action just like that. Scared, she turned around and ran away.

Wan Chun Ju chased after her as she supported her belly: "You damn girl, don't run!"

If she don't run at this time, wasn't that looking to get beaten?

Da Qiao wasn't that stupid!

But she didn't run very far when she bumped into her grandmother.

Qiao Xiu Zhi shielded her. She looked up at Eldest Daughter-in-law who was chasing after with a broom and spoke with a heavy expression, "What's going on?"

Wan Chun Ju shivered all over. Gulping, she replied, "Mom! It's not my fault this time. Da Qiao, this child is too black-hearted. She actually bump into my stomach on purpose, trying to kill the baby in my belly. So vicious!"

Da Qiao frowned and retorted: "I didn't! Grandmother, I didn't bump into Eldest Aunt's belly on purpose!"

Qiao Xiu Zhi noted her rosy face from running. She reached out to wipe her sweat and said, "What's going on? Tell your grandmother."

Wan Chun Ju saw that her mother-in-law was obviously leaning toward Da Qiao's side. Angered, her face was as black as the bottom of a pot!

Da Qiao clearly explained: "When I came back from school, I heard that my mom fell and bled and the younger brother in her belly is gone. I was very worried. I ran back to the small house and couldn't find anyone. So I came to the old house and ask. Unexpectedly, Eldest Aunt and I bumped into each other, I really didn't mean it. I apologized to Eldest Aunt. But Eldest Aunt didn't believe it!"

Qiao Xiu Zhi raised her head and glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law: "How are you from the bump? Was it serious? Do you need me to take you to the hospital for a few days?"

Wan Chun Ju's face went red and white: "..."

Actually, she had quickly dodged at that time. So Da Qiao didn't touch he belly. If not, she wouldn't be able to run so fast to chase people later.

She couldn't hold back her irk. It was obviously black-hearted Da Qiao who bumped into her on purpose. Mother-in-law still protected her like this!

So vexing!

She was just kicked off the table by Mother-in-law the day before yesterday. Since then, she hadn't been able to go back to the table to eat. That's why, she really didn't have the courage to continue fighting.

You can only swallow this breath into her stomach!

Stinky girl, she'll sort her out later!

After Wan Chun Ju left, Qiao Xiu Zhi explained to Da Qiao, "Your mom is fine. It was Fang Xiao Juan who met with mishap. You don't need to go to Wang's house to see her now. She had already been sent to the town hospital."

To be precise, Fang Xiao Juan didn't have a miscarriage. Just bleed a lot and gave birth to a dead baby on the spot!

Fang Xiao Juan had been pregnant for more than seven months. At this stage, the baby had already taken shape. However, she fell too hard. That baby only cried weakly when it came out and soon died.

Some said she got into a scuffle with a female educated youth named Ye Zhen Zhen. No one knew the specifics yet, but there were a lot of rumors.

Some people said Fang Xiao Juan and Ye Zhen Zhen had an argument and Ye Zhen Zhen accidentally pushed Fang Xiao Juan. Which caused Fang Xiao Juan to bleed heavily on the spot.

Some people also said Ye Zhen Zhen accidentally bumped into Fang Xiao Juan. It was an complete accident.

The most popular version was: Ye Zhen Zhen went to seduce Wang Xin Sheng, and was caught by Fang Xiao Juan on the spot. Fang Xiao Juan and Ye Zhen Zhen fought. Ye Zhen Zhen accidentally pushed Fang Xiao Juan down and the tragedy happened.

Qiao Xiu Zhi didn't tell Da Qiao the information and guesses. Just told her: "If you are really worried, wait for Fang Xiao Juan to come back to the village. Then you can go to Wang's house to see her."

Fang Xiao Juan's actions weren't right. Not even worthy of the word "mother". Still, she didn't want Da Qiao to live in resentment.

More importantly, people in the world always felt that "the world was full of parents". No matter how bad the parents were to their children, everyone felt it was normal. In the past, there were some people who even killed their children. People made some comment at most.

But once the child did something wrong, the mountain of "unfilial piety" will come down.

It was unfair. Absurd. But nothing can be done.

So if Da Qiao wanted to visit Fang Xiao Juan during the time, she would not stop her. She would even prepare something for her to bring over.

When Da Qiao heard that it wasn't Auntie Hui who met with mishap, she was greatly relieved.

Then it came to her it was her biological mom who had an accident. She was a little stunned.

She hadn't seen her mom since the her dad's wedding day.

In the past, she hoped for her mom to love her as much as Xiao Qiao. But after she left, there was no more scolding or getting starved. Gradually, she dropped her expectation of her mom's love.

Later, she got love from Grandfather, Grandmother, and Auntie Hui. She felt that she was so blissed and happy every day. Her mom's influence was even weaker.

Only then did she realize that she hadn't thought of her mom for a long time.

When the old auntie said Mom just now, she subconsciously thought of Auntie Hui. Not her biological mom.

Qiao Xiu Zhi looked at her dumbfounded state and said softly: "Don't be afraid. Fang Xiao Juan will be fine! It's getting dark, go back quickly. Don't let your parents worry."

She lied.

When Fang Xiao Juan was carried away, she was covered in blood and her face was as white as paper. It seem the situation was very bad.

Ye Zhen Zhen and Wang Xin Sheng, who were in the same room together, were so scared that their legs were soft. Currently, they were both detained by the production team and weren't allowed to go out!

Da Qiao came back to her senses. She raised her head and gave her grandmother a sweet smile, "I understand. I'll go back now. Grandmother, you should go back soon."

...

After Huo Chi finished picking the pig dung, he washed his hands and took a mantou left over from yesterday. He made way to the small road where Da Qiao would pass by and waited.

The sun was about to set. The red clouds covered the entire Qili Village. And Da Qiao was yet to be seen.

Huo Chi swallowed the last small piece of mantou. He clapped his hands clean and prepared to secretly go to Qiao's house to check the situation.

At this moment, Da Qiao came over. Still, carrying the schoolbag from before.

Seeing how pondering appearance and didn't notice him at all, Huo Chi had to call, "Qiao Nian Nian!"

When Da Qiao heard someone calling her, she looked up to find Huo Chi. Immediately, she revealed a small smile: "Younger Brother Huo Chi, it's you!"

Huo Chi: "..."

His face turned black at once: "I'm not a younger brother. I'm older than you!"

Da Qiao looked at him and said softly, "I'm seven years old this year. How about you?"

Since Da Qiao grew taller, she always felt that she was tall and big. Every child she saw, she felt they were all her younger brother.

Therefore, even when Huo Chi was half a head taller than her at this time, she still feel that the other party was younger than her and was a younger brother.

Huo Chi's face was very ugly: "I'm nine years old!"

There was not enough food every day on the farm. So forget about any nutrition. The children born on the farm were generally shorter than the average child.

This was Huo Chi's sore spot. He never thought he would get stabbed by Da Qiao on their third meeting!

Da Qiao was a good child who knows her mistakes and can correct them. She tilted her head and said softly, "You are two years older than me. Then I'll call you Elder Brother Huo Chi."

The little girl in front of him was fair and clean with two small tails tied on her head. As she tilted her head, the two small tails swung a bit.

She looked at him like a deer with dark and clear eyes as she called him "Elder Brother Huo Chi" in a sweet voice. Who can stand this?

There were two suspicious blushes on Huo Chi's face. He turned his head to look at the grass, and said in a muffled voice, "Up to you."

Da Qiao smiled softly: "Then it's settled. It's getting late, I'm going back."

As soon as she said that, she was going to leave without any attachment at all.

Huo Chi hurriedly halted her: "Hey, Qiao Nian Nian, how is your mom?"

Only then, Da Qiao remembered that she told him about her mom earlier. So she stopped, turned around and replied, "I made a mistake just now. I thought it was my stepmom who gotten into an accident. She is fine. It's my biological mom who had the accident."

Huo Chi: "..."

Weren't stepmothers usually very dark-hearted?

How come she seem to be closer to her stepmom?

Huo Chi's mind turned very fast.

Combining the scenes in the dream and some rumors he heard recently, he immediately pieced together the truth.

He nodded and said, "It's good that she's fine. By the way, thank you for your egg and mantou last time."

"You're welcome." Da Qiao smiled. Then she lowered her head and took out another egg from her schoolbag. She handed it over, "For you."

Huo Chi looked at her outstretched little hand. A tender small, fleshy hand like a peeled egg. There were meat on the back of the hand. Compared with his dry hand full of calluses, it was a world of difference!

He suddenly had the urge to hide his hand. Instead of doing so, he stretched it out, grasped the egg she handed over, "Write down the number. I will definitely return it to you in double the amount in the future!"

Da Qiao didn't refuse. Like a picking chick, she nodded, "Okay. Then I'll go back and write down the number and use it to settle the account in the future!"

She never actually thought about asking the other party to return it. But she could understand what he was thinking.

When Auntie Hui helped her, she had felt very uneasy and always wanted to do something to repay the other party. She thought Huo Chi had the same thought as her.

Sure enough, when he heard Da Qiao's words, Huo Chi's expression relaxed. He solemnly nodded: "I will definitely pay you back. I'll keep my word!"

"I know. I believe in you! I'm going back. Goodbye." Da Qiao waved at him and turned away.

Huo Chi watched her back like he did the previous time. He didn't turn around until he couldn't see her anymore.

Wan Chun Ju had a stomach full of steam and didn't want to go back. So she wandered around the village and encountered people who were as gossipy as her. She stopped to speak ill of Lin Hui and Da Qiao.

After she said a lot of bad things, she felt much more comfortable.

Holding her waist, she slowly walked towards the Qiao's old house. When she passed a big tree, a strong wind suddenly blew.

Fortunately, her weight wasn't small. If not, she would have been blown away by the strong wind. If it was small butt Chen Qiao Qiao, she would have been blown to the horizon.

Just when she was proud, a pile of yellow-green things blew toward her face along with the wind.

What it was?

She widened her eyes. The next moment, she knew!

She made a sound of pigs getting slaughtered. Screaming, she jumped to her feet: "Go away, go away... ah ah ah... Why are there monema flavescens at this time?"

These monema flavescens were at larva stage of the moth.

It was brightly colored, shaped like a slug, and covered in stingers. Once disturbed, it will immediately sting people with its stingers!

Being stung by monema flavescens can be said to be very burning. So itchy and painful. It will also cause rashes or blisters. Before a child in the village was stung and his face was swollen into blister-covered pig state in less than half a day. !

But monema flavescens usually only appear in late May. Now it was only the end of April. Why did it appear at this time?

As soon as the monema flavescens touched her face, Wan Chun Ju felt a tingling pain. She reached out to touch and felt a moving monema flavescens. She screamed in horror.

Some villagers witnessed Wan Chun Ju yelling and jumping under the big tree and immediately laughed: "When did old Eldest Qiao's wife learn to sing big plays?"

Once Wan Chun Ju wailingly ran home, her entire face was swollen into a blistered pig's head!

When Qiao Zhen Guo came back from work, he happened to come face-to-face with her as soon as he entered the door. He was startled: "Where did this pig's head come from?"

Seeing her man, Wan Chun Ju couldn't help bursting into tears. As she sobbed, she scratched: "Zhen Guo, I was stung by monema flavescens, it's so itchy. It hurts like hell... waa waa..."

Only then did Qiao Zhen Guo realize that the person with the pig's head in front of him was his wife. He was shocked: "Wife, you can really toss around! One moment, you turned into a roast pig. The next moment, you're swollen into a longevity god state. Now a blister pig head!"

Wan Chun Ju almost burst into tears: "...You think I want to?"

She didn't know why she was so unlucky?

The eight mouth sores on her mouth hadn't healed yet. Now she had been stung by monema flavescens. Her life was miserable!

When Qiao Xiu Zhi heard the crying, she ran out. At once, she was speechless: "Eldest, why aren't you taking your wife to the clinic to get some medicine back?"

Qiao Zhen Guo nodded and took his wife out.

When someone asked him, he pointed to at his wife's pig-headed face, "My wife is so troublesome. She got stung into this blister-like state by monema flavescens!"

On the whole way, almost half of the villagers in Qili Village heard his speech!

Wan Chun Jui almost spat out a mouthful of old blood!

When they got to the clinic, the new male doctor saw Wan Chun Ju. He was gobsmacked: "It turns out that someone can really swell into a pig's head!"

Wan Chun Ju pig's head blushed painfully red: "..."

In the end, the male doctor prescribed a bottle of solution. But the blisters on Wan Chun Ju's face still got the monema flavescens's poisonous stinger. It got to to be taken out. Otherwise, there will be inflammation and pus.

After returning, Qiao Zhen Guo mixed raw flour into gluten according to the doctor's instructions. Then he rubbed the gluten on Wan Chun Ju's face back and forth.

"Ah ah ah..."

That night, Qiao's old house rang out a chorus of slaughtered pig's sounds.

The children who lived nearby were frightened into tears again!

...

The night was getting darker and the stars were shining.

Wang Family's hall was tightly closed. Even the windows too.

Mr. Wang sat on the top chair. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Wang Xin Sheng's hands and feet were bound by ropes.

After the person was brought over, Wang Shui Sheng kicked him with a black face.

"BOOM!"

He knelt heavily on both knees. His chin hit the floor. Immediately, iron taste emerged in his mouth.

Old Madam Wang felt distressed at once: "Eldest, what are you doing? You want to kill your younger brother?"

Wang Shui Sheng said with a dark face: "If it's not illegal to kill, I would have kill him now!"

Old Madam Wang was so furious that her chest hurt. She pointed at him with the intention to scold.

However, old Mister Wang slammed the dry tobacco stick on the table and berated: "Shut up! Look at the situation! You still want to protect him? Do you want the whole family to be buried with him? Only like this, you will be happy?"

Although old Madam Wang was usually strong, she did not dare to speak up when the old man was truly infuriated.

Old Mister Wang sternly stared at the youngest on the ground: "Wang Xin Sheng, ah, Wang Xin Sheng. This time, you really want entire Wang family to be buried with you before you're satisfied?"

The most severe rumors circulating outside were close to the truth.

Fang Xiao Juan wasn't just pushed down by Ye Zhen Zhen though. But by her and Wang Xin Sheng!

At that time, Fang Xiao Juan saw Wang Xin Sheng and Ye Zhen Zhen hugging each other. She was so mad that she immediately rushed forward to grab Ye Zhen Zhen's hair for a violent beating.

Ye Zhen Zhen received a few fist. Soon, she recovered and fought back. Fang Xiao Juan was pushed hard by her and caused her to crashed into Wang Xin Sheng who was behind her.

Wang Xin Sheng grabbed her hand and told her to stop making trouble., Fang Xiao Juan's anger exponentially burned and scratched his face with a stretch of her hand.

Wang Xin Sheng's temper also flared up. He slapped her twice and kicked her stomach.

Fang Xiao Juan screamed in pain. Her whole body went backwards and bumped into Ye Zhen Zhen. Ye Zhen Zhen subconsciously pushed her with force. Fang Xiao Juan flew and her stomach hit the ground hard. Afterward, that tragedy happened.

Fang Xiao Juan wasn't a good person. But in this matter, Ye Zhen Zhen and Wang Xin Sheng were even more scumbags!

If Fang Xiao Juan was dead, they would be murderers!

Now Fang Xiao Juan had been sent to the town hospital and still hadn't woken up.

Wang Xin Sheng laid on the ground. His eyes fixed on the ground without moving.

When he saw Fang Xiao Juan bleeding, he regretted it at the time!

But there was no regret medicine in the world. No matter how much he regretted, it was useless.

Seeing him like this, Old Mister Wang suddenly felt oppressed in his chest: "Eldest, hit. Hit hard. Hit him until he begs for mercy!"

"Yes, Dad!" Wang Shui Sheng took out the belt he had prepared early in the morning, raised it, and whipped Wang Xinsheng hard.

He was really pissed off!

Why was this person so daring? It was okay to be lazy at normal times. But now he was getting together with a female educated youth. And even caused trouble!

It seem he didn't learn a lesson the last time he provoked Fang Xiao Juan into home!

What only remember to eat but not the beat. That's because the beating wasn't harsh enough, so he can't remember it!

This time, he was going to beat him to death. Let him know what was fear. To the point, he dare to do stupid things next time!

Wang Shui Sheng had reached his erupting point this time. He didn't hold back any strength. Wang Xin Sheng was only wearing a single shirt. Blood was soon spilled out.

Old Madam Wang's heart twitched. More distressed than if were on her: "Eldest, stop it! Stop it!"

Old Mister Wang furiously hollered: "Don't listen to your mom. Just keep hitting!"

Old Madam Wang's chest hurt from the anger. Her breath couldn't come out. She clutched her chest and cried out, "Okay, you want to kill Youngest, right? You can kill me too!"

As she said that, she rolled her eyes and fell from the stool to the ground.

"MOM!"

The two daughters-in-law rushed over. One of them pinched her mother-in-law's philtrum hard. The other went to bring water to wake her mother-in-law.

Wang Shui Sheng saw that his mom used the ultimate trick in order to stop them from hitting Wang Shui Sheng. A feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.

At this moment, he made a decision: "Dad, if Fifth Sister-in-law can wake up this time, I will send Fifth Brother to the army!"

As the eldest brother, he was useless and he couldn't control this hooligan Wang Xin Sheng. So he can only be handed over to Third Younger brother!

Old Man Wang sighed and nodded, "We'll do what you said."

Fang Xiao Juan woke up after being in a coma for three days.

On this day, Da Qiao received the first gift from Huo Chi.
