Chapter 49
Fang Xiao Juan felt very uncomfortable!
In her opinion, Qiao Zhen Jun was her property. Even if she didn't want him, other women weren't allowed to contaminate him!
It was best that Qiao Zhen Jun live alone and never marry another wife!
If he must marry, that woman can be anyone except Lin Hui!
She and Lin Hui grew up together. Everyone thought they had a good relationship. But only she knew how jealous she was of Lin Hui!
They were both girls. One was pampered at home and didn't have to do any work, while the other was hard-working at home and got scolded as a hoodoo every day.
How can this make her heart feel balanced?
She knew from the beginning that Lin Hui liked Qiao Zhen Jun. It just at that time, she and male educated youth were an item, so she was happy to see Lin Hui like Qiao Zhenjun.
She marry a male educated youth and will be a city person in the future. While Lin Hui marry Qiao Zhen Jun and be a muddy leg all her life!
Who knows that people's plan can't beat heaven's plan. Once the male educated youth returned to the city, there was no news. She had came to age and her reputation wasn't good. So she had to take the initiative to attack.
After flicking through, she set her eyes on Qiao Zhen Jun.
Although Qiao Zhen Jun was a little dull-witted, being like this meant he was perfect to control. What's more, he was good-looking and Qiao Family was well-off.
More importantly, she couldn't marry into the city. So such a good match can't fall into Lin Hui's hand!
So she and her elder brother made a plan together. She got her elder brother keep guard outside the forest, while she waited for Qiao Zhen Jun by the stream that he would pass by every day. Once she saw him come from a distance, she immediately took off her clothes...
Later, when she got her wish and married Qiao Zhen Jun, Lin Hui was so infuriated that she ran to ask her why she did this when knowing that the person she liked was Qiao Zhen Jun. Why did she snatch him from her.
She forgot how she answered her at the time. Anyway, the two cut ties since then. In order to get revenge on her, Lin Hui chose to marry an educated youth.
At first, she was a little jealous. Unfortunately some people just didn't have that fate. The educated youth drowned shortly after returning to the city and Lin Hui became a widow.
Now this widow actually wanted to pick up the man she didn't want. Keep dreaming!
The more Fang Xiao Juan thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She put on her clothes and prepared to go out.t Wang Xin Sheng came in at this time.
Wang Xin Sheng looked at her and said, "Where do you want to go when you dress like this?"
Fang Xiao Juan's heart trembled and she replied, "Nowhere in particular. I was just a little bored in the house, so I wanted to go out for a walk."
Wang Xin Sheng raised his lips to a strange smile: "Today your ex-husband sent a matchmaker to Lin's house to ask for marriage. How do you feel when you know?"
Fang Xiao Juan felt so guilty that she dared not look at him in the eye: "What can I possibly think? It's just trash I don't want. A pair of trash makes a perfect match!"
Wang Xin Sheng watched her and stated, "It's best that you think like this. If I find out that you dare to do something wrong to me, don't blame me for turning face and not recognizing you!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left again. He hummed a little song on his way to Wang's old house for a meal.
Fang Xiao Juan stared at his back and almost vomited blood!
...
When everyone knew that Qiao Zhen Jun wanted to marry Lin Hui, there were mixed reviews.
"One is divorced and the other is a widow. Isn't it good for the two to live together?"
"What so good? Didn't Lin Hui jump into the well for this matter? I thought she was innocent. It turned out to be just a show. Tsk tsk tsk!"
"I say, Xing Hua, it's best to not let Auntie Xiu Zhi hear what you said. Be careful that she will punch you like a wild boar!"
Xing Hua's face went red and white. She spat to the ground with a 'pah': "I'm not talking nonsense!"
Whether it was nonsense or not, everyone will naturally not argue with her. But some people knew that Xing Hua had been very close to Fang Xiao Juan during this time.
She was targeting Qiao Family and the Lin family with words now. Just didn't know if these were her own opinion or said on behalf of Fang Xiao Juan.
Some people had criticized Qiao Zhen Jun fro being conscienceless: "Old Fifth Qiao's daughter is gone. Is it appropriate for old Second Qiao to marry a wife at this time? He doesn't have a sense of brotherhood!"
Qiao Zhen Jun originally didn't want to get married at this time. After all, old Fifth's daughter had just gone missing. It was inappropriate for him to have a wedding at this time.
But his mom said, Lin Hui had been coming to Qiao's house a lot these days. Maybe she had been seen by someone. If he was a man, he should give her an explanation.
His mom had also said, "Little Wan'er is gone. So Qiao Family won't hold happy events from now on? And everyone live unhappily ever since?"
After Fifth Younger Brother found out, he took the initiative to run over to persuade him. Told him to not worry about him.
He pretended to be relaxed and spoke, "In ancient times, there was a saying of "Chongxi .". Currently, the atmosphere at home is low. If you bring it some joy, maybe little Wan'er will be found soon. Second Elder Brother, you should quickly marry in Second Sister-in-law back!"
Since the involved party didn't mind, he naturally had nothing to be concerned about.
Just like what his mom said, if he doesn't act again, it will be even worse when there are all kinds of rumors.
At Lin Hui's home.
Wang Qiu Ying hugged her fair and tender little grandson. Smiling from ear to ear, she spoke: "Hui'er, don't blame Mom for stopping you before. If old Second Qiao's legs aren't better, Mom will never agree to this marriage. Mom did this because I don't want you to suffer too much bitterness in the future!"
It was really hard to take care of a paralyzed man for the rest of one's life.
If there he accidentally got paralysis after marriage, it can't be helped. Knowing that the other party was paralyzed and still marrying over was called self-inflicted burden!
If old Second Qiao was still paralyzed, she can't sit and watch her daughter jump into the fire pit!
Two spot of pinkness appeared on Lin Hui's face. She softly said, "Mom, I know. I didn't blame you and Dad."
What she didn't say was that even if Qiao Zhen Jun's legs didn't get better and her parents persisted on objecting, she would still insist on marrying him!
It was just that the current situation was better now. Everyone was happy.
Little Dong Lin was sitting in his grandma's arms. His big black eyes wandered around and he spoke in his baby voice, "Auntie next door said little Dong Lin will call Uncle Qiao Dad in the future. Mom, it is like this?"
Being looked at by the child like this, Lin Hui felt that her cheeks were hot enough to fry an egg. She bit her lips and acknowledged with an "en".
Seeing her youngest daughter's shyness, Wang Qiu Ying laughed even more heartily. She hugged her little grandson and spoke, "Yes, little Dong Lin. You have to remember when you see your Elder Sister Qiao Qiao's dad in the future, you should call him Dad. Do you understand?"
Xiao Dong Lin loudly responded, "I understand. That's great. Little Dong Lin also has a dad!"
Hearing this, Lin Hui's eyes became hot and tears almost fell.
In Qiao's small house, the same conversation was also taking place.
Qiao Zhen Jun looked at the little dumpling in front of him. He licked his lips nervously and stated, "Da Qiao, Dad has something to tell you."
Da Qiao said softly, "Dad, you're going to marry Auntie Hui?"
Qiao Zhen Jun was stunned for a moment. But he soon understood that the women in the village were nosy. They must have told Da Qiao.
He nodded: "Dad and Auntie Hui are together. Don't be sad. Even if there are other younger brothers and sisters in the future, you will always be the most important in Dad's heart!"
It was already hard for simple Qiao Zhen Jun to say such remark of 'affection'.
He had to say these words though. He didn't want his daughter to be worried or unhappy because of his remarriage.
The phrase 'adversity reveal the true feeling' wasn't false at all.
Since he was paralyzed, his family had worked tirelessly to take care of him.
Especially his daughter, Da Qiao. She often massaged his legs and talked with him for fear that he will be bored. It's really hard for such little one to be so caring.
On the other hand, Xiao Qiao made his heart chilled.
Since she left with her mom, she had never come to see him, her dad again. Unfortunately not even once.
Da Qiao blinked her big eyes and softly replied, "Dad, don't worry. I won't be sad. I like Auntie Hui and little Brother Dong Lin very much. I want to become a family with them!"
She knew that everything the aunties in the village told her were malicious. They hoped that she would make trouble with her dad. Why would she make trouble?
Was it because Auntie Hui was bad, or was little Brother Dong Lin not cute enough?
So she won't do what they want! Hmph!
When Qiao Zhen Jun heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Dad is very happy to hear you say that!"
He suddenly looked forward to the days after the wedding.
...
Because both parties intended to make this marriage happen, the process went smoothly. In addition, both of them were married for the second time. So many procedures were omitted.
Half a month later, it will be farming slack period. Many people will take advantage of that time to quickly have a wedding. Qiao Zhen Jun and Lin Hui's happy event will also be set at that time.
In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.
In rural areas, the day before the wedding, they will "pull out the dowry". In other words, people who marry their daughters out will send the dowry to the male's house. Which is similar to the ancient time's showing off dowry.
It was just that the economy of every household wasn't good now. Many people can't get enough to eat, let alone dowry for their daughters. So Qili Village hadn't seen anyone "pulling out the dowry" for many years.
On this day, Lin Family was lively.
Lin Hui's five elder brothers got up early in the morning, dressed in new clothes, and took all the dowry for their younger sister to Qiao's house.
The people in the village quickly came out to watch the fun.
"Oh, Lin Family really loved their youngest girl, Lin Hui. This is a second marriage and they still pays so much dowry. Really, as a human it is better to pick a good birth!"
"You're wrong. Back then, when Lin Hui married that educated youth, the dowry wasn't as good as it is now. Look at those large cabinets and tables. All made of good wood. I'm envious to death!"
"If I knew earlier that Lin Family would give out so much dowry, so I would ask the matchmaker to request for marriage. Oh, it's too late to say anything now!"
"Come on. Gou Sheng. You are poor and empty-pocketed. Even a female dog won't set their eyes on you!"
Wang Xin Sheng, Fang Xiao Juan, and Xiao Qiao came out of Wang's old house,. They happened to encountered this scene.
Wang Xin Sheng poked his ears as he said with a crooked mouth, "Tsk tsk tsk. if I knew earlier, I should have married that widow Lin Hui. With so much dowry, whoever married her wouldn't be at a loss!"
Besides, Lin Hui was pretty good-looking.
Xiao Qiao's heart dropped. She remembered that Wang Xin Sheng married Lin Hui in his previous life.
Fang Xiao Juan's face went red from anger: "Wang Xin Sheng, what do you mean? Do you regret marrying me now?"
Wang Xin Sheng glanced at her and responded, "Fang Xiao Juan, I advise you to stop making trouble. For the sake of the child in your belly, I won't divorce you. But if you dare to make trouble again, go back to Fang's house now!"
F*ck. Lust had fogged up his mind and caused him to set his eyes on this woman, Fang Xiao Juan!
At the beginning, he really didn't expect that Fang Xiaojuan would dare to use this matter to threaten their Wang Family. It was the first time he was threatened by a woman. He would never be able to jump over this hurdle in his life!
And the group of moths, Fang Family. They have more sh*t matter every day than him. Now everyone in the family was full of grudging feeling toward him. Wasn't it because of her maternal family?
So he had already lost patience with Fang Xiao Juan. It would be better if she dared to make trouble. Everyone can part ways!
Fang Xiao Juan was so angry that her chest hurt. Her chest rose and fell violently. She almost smashed her teeth together into pieces!
This damn man actually dared to threaten her like this. He really pissed her off!
Xiao Qiao frowned.
She suddenly couldn't understand how a despicable person like Wang Xin Sheng became a good husband and father in his last life?
In fact, Xiao Qiao only saw that Wang Xin Sheng had become a good father and a good husband in his previous life and became the first ten thousand yuan household in the village. What she didn't see was how many tears and energy Lin Hui had shed in order to train him before he became a good husband and a good father.
Behind the prodigal son, there was a woman who was riddled with wounds by him.
So she was thinking too beautifully when she wanted to sit back and enjoy it!
Wang Xin Sheng saw that Fang Xiao Juan didn't dare to make trouble and walked away with a proud look on his shoulders.
Fang Xiao Juan watched his back. Her facial features were distorted with hatred.
Since marrying into Wang family, nothing went well!
Completely drowned in bad luck!
...
The next day was Qiao Family's wedding day.
The gate of Qiao's old house was wide open. Qiao Family ahd dressed up and put on their best clothes.
Da Qiao had even put on the floral dress that Auntie Hui made for her. Her hair was tied into two small buns and decorated with two small red flowers. The little face is fair and tender. Also so rosy and puffy. With a pouty small lips. Oh, as beautiful as a little fairy.
When everyone saw Da Qiao dressed up so cutely and beautifully, they couldn't help teasing her: "Da Qiao, where did your new clothes come from?"
Da Qiao smiled until her eyes curved into crescent and sweetly said, "Auntie Hui made it for me."
Someone teased her: "Why are you still calling Auntie Hui. It should be Mom instead!"
Da Qiao pursed her lips and smiled. She didn't answer everyone's words.
She liked Aunt Hui, but couldn't call Auntie Hui Mom when told to. She was too shy.
Xing Hua mingled in the crowd and pouted: "No wonder Xiao Juan said she is a white-eyed wolf. She called others Mom so quickly. So many years of raising was in vain!"
When everyone heard what she said, they immediately distanced themselves from her.
Where did this fool come from?
Today was Qiao Family's happy event and she rushed to say sour words. Wasn't this a slap in the face?
Xing Hua saw that no one agreed with her. Instead, they isolated her out of the circle. Her face flushed with anger.
Seeing that no one was talking to her, she didn't want to watch the fun anymore. She turned and walked away muttering.
Unexpectedly, before taking two steps, one of her foot suddenly stepped on a lump of chicken poo and her foot slipped...
"BOOM!"
She fell on all fours. The pain caused her tears to spill out all at once.
"Hahaha, she deserves it. Who told her talk nonsense!" Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Xing Hua almost vomited blood!
When it comes to weddings in the countryside, familiar neighbors were invited to help. Qiao Family was no exception. Qiao Xiu Zhi invited a few kind women to help.
Old woman Gu heard the laughter coming from the next door and spat fiercely on the ground: "Halfway formed couple keep a backup trick each. I want to see how long old Second Qiao and Lin Family's widow can be together!"
Because Qiao Family didn't ask old woman Gu to help out, old woman Gu held a grudge.
At this moment, a group of uninvited guests came to Qiao Family.
