Lu Yichen, he must be joking with me today. He's already settled it, but he still told me that she might be sent in. Bah, luckily I was smart enough to use provocation to blow this matter up, so I have some confidence. Otherwise...
Thinking about how he acted as if he was serious made her angry. Hmph.
Kang Xiaoqiao was so angry that she was puffing. Wu Xiaoyan and the others also saw the problem and said in surprise, "It can't be. Unit Lu didn't tell you?"
Kang Xiaoqiao sat on the stone bench angrily and said, "Hmph."
Then, everyone understood. Wu Xiaoyan covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Aiyo, it can't be that Unit Lu is deliberately scaring you for fun, haha--"
"You little couple are really romantic. It seems that you were scared to death."
"That's right. Seeing Sister Xiaoqiao like this, this must be it. I didn't expect this Unit Lu to be so bad."
"Sister-in-law, you don't know this, right? This man is not bad, but women don't love him."
"Tsk tsk, why, how do you know so much? Have you tried? It seems..."
...
Not long after, laughter came from the courtyard. Wang Xuehua, who was in the house next door, looked pale. When Wu Xiaoyan asked her to go with them, she didn't go. She was afraid...
And now...
There was another person who wanted to tear her handkerchief into pieces. It was Zhao Xiulan. Listening to the laughter in the backyard, she was so angry that she wanted to tear them apart.
Even in this state, Kang Xiaoqiao was still able to avoid it. It was really unreasonable.
Kang Xiaoqiao was almost the last person to know about this because after coming back from the ministry, these sisters-in-law in the Wilderness had spread the news. Many people also knew that Kang Xiaoqiao did not go out, so they did not know at all.
Towards these people who helped her, Kang Xiaoqiao was not stingy. She took out a lot of food, such as melon seeds, peanuts, and even some fruits. Everyone chatted and laughed together in harmony.
However, at this moment, they suddenly heard a shout. They looked in the direction of the voice and saw two boys running quickly from the other side of the road. As the boys ran, they shouted, "Kang Erni, Kang Erni, something bad has happened at your house..."
Everyone looked at the two little boys who ran over with great effort. They could not help but be stunned. They did not know who they were. Only Kang Xiaoqiao frowned.
The two little boys looked like they were in their teens. One of them was dark and skinny, while the other was not much better. The clothes on his body were still patched.
By the time the two little boys ran up to him, they were already covered in sweat and panting. However, the moment they saw Kang Xiaoqiao, they could not help but be stunned.
Was this beautiful girl in front of them, who was so beautiful that she was out of this world, really their village's Kang Er Ni'er?
When did she become so beautiful?
However, after another confirmation, they immediately said, "Kang Er Ni'er, someone is going to die in your house. Quickly go back and take a look."
After shouting this, everyone immediately opened their mouths wide. After that, the sisters-in-law of the Wilderness were still very perceptive. Wu Xiaoyan took the lead and said with a smile, "Well, Sister Xiaoqiao, since you have something to do at home, we'll go back first. We'll come to see you later. However, if you need any help, just tell sister-in-law."
Hearing that, Kang Xiaoqiao nodded and said, "Alright then. Take care, sister-in-law. Thank you so much for today. If there's anything at home, I won't keep you."
Wu Xiaoyan smiled and waved her hand. "What are you thanking me for? You're also such an outsider to sister-in-law. Let's go, let's go."
After they left, Kang Xiaoqiao asked about the situation. Without a word, she went back to the house to get some things. Then, she told Wang Xuehua, who was next door, and left with the two boys.
Kang Xiaoqiao was a little uneasy even when they were almost at the village. In this house, the person who had the best relationship with the original owner was none other than Kang Daqiao.
Ever since she was young, Kang Xiaoqiao had never been allowed to do any work. The first person she thought of was Kang Xiaoqiao. If anyone dared to bully Kang Xiaoqiao, someone with such a weak character would rush up and beat them to death.
Therefore, Kang Xiaoqiao had to take care of Kang Daqiao's matters.
Before entering the courtyard, she heard the sound of crying coming from inside. It was very frightening, followed by curses.
"You money-losing thing, why did you come back? Ah?"
"The in-laws I found for you, what's wrong with them? Which grown man doesn't drink and smoke? Have you grown a temper? You actually learned to run to your mother's house. I told you to run back, I told you to run back. See if I won't beat you to death."
Then came the sound of beating. The courtyard was filled with wails and howls. The sound was filled with pain and despair.
Kang Xiaoqiao and the others were not the only ones standing outside the yard. There were also many villagers. However, they were just watching the show and did not come forward to stop them.
Instead, they said in a low voice, "Aiya, this Kang girl is really pitiful."
"Exactly. How many times has it been? It's the third time, right?"
"Yes, it's the third time. Look at that child. She's so pitiful. How could she have such a vicious biological mother?"
"Ai, wasn't it because of money? There were three boys in their family. Now, two of their daughters had married out and married a daughter-in-law for the eldest one. The second one also began to look at them. If they stood up for Kang girl, it would cost money. How could they interfere in this matter? I heard that her son-in-law was not stingy. I heard that the one in front of her... died. He lied and said that she was sick. He paid some money to settle the matter."
"Yeah, I heard. At that time, he even said that he was going to marry our girl, but I couldn't bear to do so. Although a girl is a money-losing good, it was still meat that fell from my body. I'm not that heartless to give her away for money."
"But she has money and connections. She is a manager in the town. How can we ordinary people afford to offend her? That Wan Shuxia has received a lot of betrothal gifts. Last time, she gave the order. She will do as she sees fit."
"It's not like we haven't tried to persuade her, but that Wan Shuxia simply won't listen. I heard that she has a lot of money."
"What a sin. What a good girl. Has her family gone mad from poverty?"
"Poor people have cheap lives. What can we do about it?"
... ...
These people didn't whisper loudly. When they saw Kang Xiaoqiao, they all shut their mouths and stared at her. But even so, she had heard the gist of it and was immediately filled with anger. The original owner hadn't taken care of her family ever since she got married. She was an ingrate. She did not even ask about her sister who was so good to her.
Perhaps because this girl was too cold-hearted, the memories Kang Xiaoqiao received were only faint consciousness unless she met them. She had to think carefully to know the details.
Kang Xiaoqiao was walking angrily into the courtyard when she suddenly heard a hoarse and sharp voice.
