Adored Koi in the ’70s

The pear tree in Qiao's small courtyard was transplanted from the old house.

It was unknown if its root were damaged as this pear tree hadn't bloomed in seven-eight years, let alone bear fruit.

Fang Xiao Juan had talked about this, saying that this tree was effected by Da Qiao's bad luck and it was why it looked like it was dying.

Da Qiao was so shocked to see the full branches of flower buds. With a "thump, thump, thump", her little legs and ran towards the room: "Dad! Dad!"

Seeing a small dumpling rushing in, Qiao Zhen Jun worried that she might fall, and quickly urged: "Don't run so fast. Be careful of falling!"

Da Qiao breathlessly halted, patted her chest, and said with a small proud face: "I can't, fall. I'm awesome."

Qiao Zhen Jun couldn't help but laugh. He stretched out his hand to squeeze her already fleshy cheeks: "You came in so excitedly. What do you want to say to Dad?"

Da Qiao put her little face in her dad's hands as her eyes sparkled: "Dad, the, pear tree, blooming now!"

Qiao Zhen Jun was overcame by surprise: "The pear tree is blooming? Impossible!"

He subconsciously denied this. Putting aside the fact that the tree had never bloomed before, even if it were to bloom, it wasn't the season to now.

Pear trees generally bloom from March to May and bear fruit in September. It was currently December. How can it bloom at this time?

But he didn't think that the child was lying. After all, Da Qiao was a well-behaved little dumpling. He only thought that she saw it wrong.

Da Qiao saw that her dad didn't believe in her and became anxious. She stamped her little foot and said, "Really! It's true! it's blooming!"

"Alright, no need to get anxious. Dad believes you." Qiao Zhen Jun soothed, but his attitude was very perfunctory.

Da Qiao bit her little lip. Her little, caterpillar-like eyebrows frowned. She looked distressed. Suddenly her eyes lit up and she ran out again.

Da Qiao came back soon. Her little face flushed from the exercise, like two little apples. Extremely cute: "Dad, look!"

She opened her palm to show the pear blossom to her dad. Qiao Zhen Jun leaned over to take a look. He was shocked!

It was really a pear blossom!

He picked up the small pear blossom and looked at it over and over again. It was indeed a pear blossom. How could this be possible?

Da Qiao took in her dad's disbelief and smirked while covering her mouth.

At this moment, a voice came from outside. It was someone from Qiao's old house coming over.

Da Qiao ran out. At a glance, she saw her grandmother directing the crowd like an empress governing the country: "Eldest, you move the strong starch powder to the kitchen. Eldest's wife, go and see what other work haven't been done yet and help out. ."

Turning around, she said in a soft voice to Xue Chuan: "Just go and sit at the side. There is nothing you need to do here."

Qiao Zhen Guo merrily followed the instructions.

Wan Chun Ju followed in low spirit. She quietly muttered: Mother-in-law can kill wild boar. Mother-in-law can kill wild boar. Mother-in-law can kill me!

Qiao Zhen Guo had sharp ears. He can't help but feel amused when he heard his wife's words: "You are quite self-aware. Knowing that you look like a wild boar!"

Wan Chun Ju: "..."

"However, I have thought about it again these days. I feel you are more black like donkey poo than a black mountain pig. Wife, I praise you for being fairer. Are you happy now?"

Qiao Zhen Guo felt women were troublesome. His wife was causing a ruckus with him these past two days, saying that he doesn't care about her like the way his dad cares about his mom. In order to stop his wife from troubling him, he deliberately found something to praise her now.

A mouthful of blood stuck in Wan Chun Ju in her chest: "..."

I thank you! I thank your whole family!

Qiao Xiu Zhi heard the conversation between her son and her eldest daughter-in-law in the front and thought what kind of pot goes with what kind of lid. These two idiots matched together perfectly!

Wan Chun Ju's heart was blazing. Seeing her mother-in-law went in, she cast her anger on Da Qiao: "Say, you child, working so slowly. Did you deliberately want to leave the work to me?"

Da Qiao shook her little head: "I, didn't..."

Wan Chun Ju interrupted her impatiently: "Don't find excuses. From what I see, you did it on purpose! You kid, you are so bad at a young age... ah ah ah..."

She was lecturing Da Qiao when the old hen on the side acted like it got injected with something for no reason.. It suddenly spread its wings, threw itself to her, and pecked her on her leg's back!

It was extremely painful!

Damn. It was the first time she seen such a fierce hen in her life!

Wan Chun Ju screamed. She wanted to chase the old hen away, but the old hen was in a fighting for her cub stance and kept chasing her.

Qiao Zhen Guo came out of the kitchen and saw his wife being chased around the yard by the old hen. He held his belly and laughed like a dog: "Mom said ugly people gets disdained by dogs. Wife, you must be too ugly. It's why this old hen pecked you !"

Wan Chun Ju whose heart was pricked until there were thousands of holes: "..."

Heartbroken, old iron!

Qiao Xiu Zhi came out from the inside and happened to hear this. She almost rolled her eyes to the sky!

She had never said this before. What she said was hateful people gets disdained by dogs. Not ugly people gets disdained by dogs!

Not wanting to waste her tongue with the two idiots, she carried her second onto a stretcher. Then she called her eldest son to come in and carry with her to Fang's house.

When she walked out of the small courtyard, she saw that little dumpling Da Qiao blinkingly looked at her with big eyes. It made people's heart goes soft: "If you want to go, follow us."

Da Qiao's big eyes curved into crescents and happily followed.

Wan Chun Ju stepped forward: "Mom, I want to go too."

She didn't want to stay with the old hen any longer!

Qiao Xiu Zhi didn't even look at her and heartlessly refused: "You stay and do housework. If I come back and find out that you were being lazy, you will sleep in the henhouse tonight!"

Wan Chun Ju: "..."

Her husband pierced her heart. Her mother-in-law acted like the queen. This life is unbearable!

There was a lot of stir along the way. The villagers quickly found out and came over to ask them what they were going to do.

Qiao Xiu Zhi didn't intend to hide it, "Go to Fang's house and let Second divorce Fang Xiao juan!"

Divorce!

My heaven. Although every mother-in-law had clamored about divorcing and sending her daughter-in-law back to her maternal home, but it was only all talk. There was no one who really implemented it!

And now Qiao Xiu Zhi actually carried her son to divorce!

What a display!

This time there was another good show!

No one wanted to miss such a good show. So they followed behind Qiao's family. After a while, many people gathered behind Qiao's family.

Fang's family was beaten until plump last night. Their vitality was severely injured. Among them, Fang Fu Gui suffered the most serious injury. His nose and face were swollen. He couldn't get out of bed today.

Fang Xiao Juan didn't fare any better. Her cheeks were swollen and two teeth were broken. The most wrecking matter was that she always felt the taste of chicken poo in her mouth!

Old woman Fang punched the ground and cried like her son died: "Injustice! Bullying us orphans and widow. Oh heaven, why don't you open your eyes and take a look!"

Fang Xiao Juan felt annoyed for a while: "Mom, can you stop for a while!? You've been crying all night!"

Old woman Fang seemed to be pumped with adrenaline as she jumped up from the ground, rushed over, and slapped her twice: "It's all you, a calamity star's fault. If you didn't come home, how could your eldest brother get beaten? Get out now!"

Fang Xiao Juan's face tingled with pain. What truly made her sad was her mother's words. Why didn't she say this when she took her money?

At this moment, the wooden door of the Fang's house that had only been installed recently was knocked down again with a "bang".

Fang mother and daughter shuddered together.

It couldn't be Lin Family coming over again, right?

Just when the two mother and daughter wanted to hide, Qiao Xiu Zhi's figure appeared.

The two breathed a sigh of relief.

Old woman Fang greeted her with tears in her eyes: "My in-laws, you are finally here! You didn't know that we were bullied so badly. You have to vent our anger for us!"

Fang Xiao Juan also thought that her mother-in-law was here to support herself. After all, she was the daughter-in-law of Qiao Family. Hitting her was equivalent to hitting Qiao Family in the face.

Only Xiao Qiao sitting in the corner didn't think so.

Qiao Xiu Zhi shook off old woman Fang's hand: "Your Fang family isn't doing well, but you can still dream so beautiful! However, we aren't here to vent your anger for your Fang Family!"

Old woman Fang was dumbfounded: "Then why did In-law come?"

Qiao Xiu Zhi pointed to Fang Xiao Juan and said: "Husband is paralyzed. She left her husband and went back to her maternal family. Rumors about her husband spread outside. She didn't help explain, but instead poured dirty water. Such a daughter-in-law, our Qiao Family can't afford to have, so ..."

Fang Xiao Juan's heart thumped. She had a very bad premonition. It couldn't be that her mother-in-law want to...

The next moment, she heard her mother-in-law determinately said: "I want my Second to divorce her!"

With a bang, a bolt from the blue struck!

All the young and old of Fang Family were stunned!

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Fang Xiao Juan heard her voice trembling.

Wasn't it a little too late to be afraid now?

Qiao Xiu Zhi chuckled: "Getting you two divorced. You never liked Second anyway, right?"

Fang Xiao Juan's weakly defended: "I don't..."

But before she finished speaking, her mom pushed aside: "In-law, a married out daughter is thrown out water. Our family won't take this daughter back. If you don't want her, then let her die!"

After being stabbed by her mother-in-law, Fang Xiao Juan was stabbed again by her mom.

Qiao Xiu Zhi sneered: "Whether she die or not, they are divorced anyway. The two of them did not get a marriage certificate, so we came over to let you know. From now on, our Qiao Family and Fang Family are no longer relatives! "
