suspected wife

When Qiao Mingjin carried her daughter to Yunjia Village, the Qiao family was shocked.

It's not a season, and I didn't hear a letter from her saying that she would come back.Could something be wrong?

"Jinniang, why are you back? You don't want to be trusted. Did you come over? You child. Zhongyao didn't come?" Qiao Mingjin's mother Yun looked out, but found no one.

Qiao Mingjin looked at her natal family with a smile, held on to the threshold without speaking, and only breathed.

Although this Yunjia Village is in the same town as Xiahe Village, it is really far away by walking on two legs.The mother and daughter took an ox cart along the road for a while, otherwise, it is estimated that both of her legs would be broken.Although Wan'er didn't weigh much, it was really quite a burden to hold her all the way.

"Let the child come in to have a rest. Look at her tired. Yu Niang, go get your sister a glass of water." Qiao Mingjin's grandmother, Lan Shi, said.

"Hey." Qiao Mingyu, Qiao Mingjin's third sister, responded and quickly got into the kitchen.

"Second uncle..." Xiao Wan'er happily stretched out her hand to Qiao Mingjue, who was about to hug her.

"Hey. Come, Second Uncle give me a hug." Qiao Mingjue rushed up and hugged Wan'er in his arms.

"Sister, you're back!" The twins' fourth sister, Qiao Mingqi, and fifth brother, Qiao Mingheng, also rushed to Qiao Mingjin's side, holding her hands from left to right and said cheerfully.

"Well, my sister is back." Qiao Mingjin looked at the two younger siblings who had been clingy to her since childhood and smiled happily.

"Let your sister come in quickly, and stay at the door to watch the house?" Father Qiao gave the twins a look.The two of them smiled and pulled Qiao Mingjin into the room.

"Just sit in the courtyard, it's still cool. After walking for so long, even though it's spring, my whole body is soaked in sweat. The courtyard is cooler." Qiao Mingjin said while sitting on a bench ground by the roots of a big tree in the courtyard.

"Then sit in the courtyard." Lan said to everyone.

"Jin Niang, go and change your clothes first, it's not fun if you catch a cold!" Mother Qiao pulled Qiao Mingjin to push her into the house.

Qiao Mingjin shook her hand and said, "It's okay, mother, I'm just tired from walking, so I'll be fine if I take a rest. I'm in good health."

Mother Qiao glared at her and had no choice but to let her go.

"Sister, drink water." Qiao Mingyu brought a clay cup to Qiao Mingjin.

Qiao Mingjin smiled at her, took it, and gulped it up.

Both her natal grandmother and father were fastidious.Although the family is poor, a bowl is a bowl, and a cup is a cup.Drinking tea is also brewing tea leaves. If you drink plain water without tea leaves, you will not use bowls.

"Mother, uncle also gave Wan'er a drink." Xiao Wan'er gulped down a cup in Mingjue's hand, and said happily to Qiao Mingjin.

"Okay, be good." After ordering, the fourth younger sister and fifth younger brother dragged her aside to play.

"Why didn't Zhongyao come?" Qiao's mother was still concerned about the season. Why did she go back to her mother's house alone? Could it be that the husband and wife had a quarrel?

Before that, when Yue Zhongyao had just returned from the battlefield, he brought gifts and Qiao Mingjin back to see them once.It's been almost two months now.

"He's not free." Qiao Mingjin replied flatly.

Lan Shi glanced at her, and said to Qiao Mingjue, "Jue'er, go and close the door."

Qiao Mingjue glanced at his grandmother, and ran over to close the courtyard door in response.Grandmother is the absolute authority in this family.

"Come on, come to grandma." Lan Shi stretched out his hand to Qiao Mingjin.

Qiao Mingjin felt sour when she heard her grandmother speak, and her eyes turned red.She got up and sat next to her grandmother, hugged her arm, leaned on her grandmother, and said with a sob: "Grandma..."

Lan patted her gently, and said: "You have always been a strong person, and you seldom cry in front of others. This time it hurts your heart."

Father Qiao gritted his teeth and said, "But Yue Zhongyao bullied you?"

Qiao Mingjue and the others also surrounded her and said, "Sister, don't be afraid, we are here!"

Qiao Mingjin looked up at everyone in the family, feeling warm in her heart.Not afraid of being heard by his younger brothers and sisters, he said: "Grandmother, father and mother, I want to make peace with Yue Zhongyao."

"What!" Joe's father and mother were a little surprised.

"What are you doing so surprised? Listen to the child." Lan reprimanded the two of them.

Qiao Mingjin took a look at his parents, and then told about the visitors at home today. Naturally, the reason was that Yue Zhongyao was going to marry a common wife.

Father Qiao fell silent after hearing this.

He was saved by Yue Zhongyao.If it wasn't for Yue Zhongyao that day, I'm afraid he couldn't keep his two legs, and the family would have been even more difficult.When Yue Zhongyao came to ask to marry Jinniang, he thought that Yue Zhongyao had saved him once, and his character was good, so he agreed.

Now it's someone else's turn to save Yue Zhongyao and ask him to marry the benefactor's daughter. It's hard for him, the benefactor, to refuse.Just like him back then, if Yue Zhongyao was a bad person, he didn't know how to refuse.

Qiao's mother has always been a virtuous person. She respects her mother-in-law at home, and listens to her husband and son-in-law very much, helping him raise children and take care of the housework.Now he is not entangled with why Yue Zhongyao remarried, but entangled with why he is a flat wife?

If it was a concubine, wouldn't Jinniang feel better?

Only Lan's hand that was caressing Qiao Mingjin stopped.He stared blankly ahead, wondering what he was thinking.

And the younger brothers and sisters didn't dare to speak when they saw that their grandmother and parents hadn't spoken.These children were raised very well by Qiao Jingkun and Lan Shi since childhood.

Qiao Mingjin saw that everyone in the room fell silent after listening to it. She didn't know what the rules were. Seeing that her grandmother was just staring blankly at the red mud floor without saying a word, she gently pushed her and called out: "Grandmother... ..."

When Lan came back to her senses, looking at her most beloved granddaughter, her heart throbbed with pain.

Staring at the son in front of him, he reprimanded: "I said long ago that the mother-in-law of that family is not a good one, but a snobbish one. You can just say that the son-in-law is good! Now a big family lives together, and there is no separation. Parents may live longer than them, so what's the use of a son-in-law! The child I held dear to my heart since I was a child, was ruined by you!"

Lan stared at his son, only to get a stomach ache from anger.

This is the eldest daughter of the Qiao family. Although the family is poor, she has raised this child according to the standard of a clan wife since she was a child.

Just because Yue Zhongyao helped his son, he came to ask him to marry him and he agreed.It's also her fault, at the beginning I also thought that Yue Zhongyao was good, and he was not soft-hearted, so he should treat Jinniang well.

I never thought about it, it came like this!

Lan Shi hated and was angry, panting heavily, but couldn't speak.Father Qiao was trained to bow his head and dare not answer.

Qiao Mingjin was afraid that Lan would get angry, so she stroked her chest and said, "Grandma, don't be angry, it's not worth being angry for those people. I know that grandma and father are well-informed, so I just came back to ask Look, if I reconcile, can I take Wan'er away?"
