Kang Daqiao quickly asked, "But what?"
Kang Xiaoqiao turned around and looked at Kang Daqiao. She frowned and said, "But, big sister, second brother is so good to me. But, why hasn't he come to see me after I've been married for so long?"
Eh--
Kang Daqiao's expression didn't look right when she was asked. Kang Xiaoqiao immediately noticed it. She looked at her and continued to ask, "Big sister, you know, right?"
Kang Daqiao quickly waved her hand. "I don't know. How would I know?"
But she looked like she was lying. Kang Xiaoqiao could tell at a glance, so she pouted and said, "Big sister, you actually didn't tell me the truth."
That aggrieved look immediately made Kang Daqiao's heart soften. She hurriedly explained, "No, little sister, it's not that I didn't tell you. It's... Eh..."
"Forget it. You'll find out sooner or later anyway."
"Second brother didn't approve of your marriage. At home, he caused a big scene--"
Ah? There was such a thing?
Kang Xiaoqiao really didn't know much about it.
When Kang Daqiao saw this, she put down the bowl in her hand, wiped her hands dry, and sat next to Kang Xiaoqiao. She said nervously and seriously, "Little sister, don't blame second brother. Second brother has doted on you since you were young, like an eyeball. It's impossible for him not to hope for your well-being."
"Don't think too much--"
=O=
Kang Xiaoqiao's forehead was full of black lines. How capable was the host? Kang Xiaoqiao finally remembered. The host was really a man of her word. She would do whatever she said. If someone dared to stop her, it would mean that she couldn't bear to see her well. That would mean that she would be blacklisted.
Many children in the village had been blacklisted many times, and they had been tortured many times. As for their own family members, they naturally wouldn't let them go. Otherwise, why would Mother Kang treat her so coldly and rarely provoke her? This was also one of the main reasons.
More importantly, if her older brothers and sisters didn't support her, not only would she have to do bad things, but she might also have the risk of breaking off the relationship from now on.
To be honest, Kang Xiaoqiao had never seen a naughty child as bad as the original owner. That was simply a nightmare for the children in the village!
Now, Kang Daqiao could not be blamed for being so nervous, so she quickly comforted her. "Big sister, don't worry. I've grown up, and I know how to distinguish right from wrong."
Kang Daqiao saw that Kang Xiaoqiao was not angry, so she heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Because big brother was helping you, second brother beat him up. He beat him up badly--"
Ah?
Kang Xiaoqiao covered her mouth, and then Kang Daqiao continued, "He blamed big brother for messing around with you. He blamed big brother for not stopping you and almost causing your life. This matter was blown up so big that everyone in the village knew about it."
"Not only did he blame big brother, he almost fought with our mother. He scolded our mother for being vain, said that our mother was greedy for money, and a lot more. In any case, he scolded us so harshly that he even broke a few of our stools."
"In short, that was second brother's biggest tantrum. It scared me to death. I've never seen him so angry before--"
"Later, when he saw that I was beaten, he went to the provincial capital without a second word and beat Wang Baogui as well. Moreover, he beat him up quite badly. That was why he was arrested."
"After brother-in-law came out and pulled him out, he didn't go home anymore--"
Kang Daqiao spoke with trepidation. At this moment, she was still trembling. It could be seen that Kang Tianhai had scared her quite badly.
Kang Xiaoqiao could also imagine that although Kang Tianhai looked small, his eyes were filled with aggressive ambition and vicious cruelty.
Kang Xiaoqiao had such a memory. When she was young, she was frightened by a snake and cried loudly. After Kang Tianhai came, he chopped the snake into pieces. The scene was very shocking.
Kang Xiaoqiao felt a chill just thinking about it. Her second brother was not an ordinary person!
Kang Daqiao saw that her little sister's expression was very bad but she did not say anything. She said anxiously, "Little sister, that, second brother is definitely not... He is just worried about you."
"Brother-in-law is good, but our family is indeed incomparable to him. Although you married him, our family is glorious, but the bitterness is also the bitterness of you--"
"Second brother's heart aches for you. He thinks you are stupid."
Kang Xiaoqiao looked at Kang Daqiao and nodded. "I know, sister. Don't worry."
Kang Xiaoqiao didn't want to say anything more about this matter. Kang Tianhai had a bad temper, and it wasn't just a day or two. Fortunately, he wasn't talking to her... Thus, she immediately changed the topic. "Sister, we've made quite a lot of money from this whitening cream. I plan to open a factory in the provincial capital. When the time comes, I'll let second brother manage it. When it's done, you can go and help."
When Kang Daqiao heard that, she said happily, "Really? That's great."
Kang Daqiao was so happy that she didn't know where to put her hands. She was really staying at her little sister's house every day, so she felt a lot of pressure, especially since her brother-in-law wasn't at home. She was deeply afraid that it would affect Kang Xiaoqiao's husband-and-wife relationship. Now that it was done, no matter what factory it was, as long as she could go... She could do anything.
Kang Xiaoqiao's life when she returned home was very relaxed. Other than helping her sister dry some dry goods, she watched her sister do needlework.
To be honest, her sister's needlework was exceptionally good. The sewing machine she used was called 'Liu', which showed how unhappy she was at her mother-in-law's house. Because, this thing wasn't available at her mother's house.
Last time, Kang Xiaoqiao had people bring back a lot of cloth. Now that she had finished drawing, Kang Daqiao skillfully made them one by one. It was thanks to Kang Daqiao's skillful hands that Kang Xiaoqiao was able to wear such beautiful clothes.
It looked like October. The weather was getting colder and colder, and the ministry was bustling with activity.
Wu Xiaoyan ran to the door early in the morning and shouted, "Sister Xiaoqiao, Sister Xiaoqiao, hurry up and leave. If you don't go, it will be too late."
Kang Xiaoqiao hurriedly put on the thick sweater coat and said, "I'm coming, I'm coming."
Wu Xiaoyan saw that Kang Xiaoqiao was wearing this set of clothes, she said enviously, "Sister Xiaoqiao, you are really the first one in our family courtyard. Vice-Captain Lu is treating you like a girl. Look, look, whose wife doesn't work, but you, who wears such smooth clothes every day."
Kang Xiaoqiao laughed and said, "That's right. This man is in charge of earning money to support the family. I'm only in charge of being as beautiful as a flower."
Pfft--
Wu Xiaoyan laughed when she heard that. Then, she laughed and scolded, "I've never seen you so thick-skinned. Hurry up and leave. In the future, even good cabbages will be eaten by pigs."
When Kang Xiaoqiao heard that, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "Sister-in-law Wu, if other sister-in-law hears this, you'll be in big trouble. Haha."
In the end, Wu Xiaoyan didn't take it seriously at all. She pulled Kang Xiaoqiao and said, "Alright, alright. You still have time to laugh at me. I reckon that he'll still scold the two of us. We're the laziest pigs. Eating can't even catch up to being warm."
=O=
This time, Kang Xiaoqiao could not laugh anymore. Please, big sister, can you think before you speak? How can you scold yourself like this?
However, no matter what, Kang Xiaoqiao was still dragged away by Wu Xiaoyan. Today was a good day. The ministry gave out cabbage for everyone to spend the winter.
