Adored Koi in the ’70s

Xiao Qiao laid on the ground.

Xiao Qiao's butt was facing the sky.

Xiao Qiao was enraged.

She recalled the days when she was ridiculed in her previous life.

When she transmigrated into a novel in her last life, the original body owner was a fool who couldn't take care of herself. When the original owner was born, she remained in the stomach for too long and her brain was damaged from the suffocation.

She thought that she would be able to change the fate of the original owner like all other heroines in the novels. Don't know why, she couldn't control the original owner's body.

She can clearly hear what others were saying, but she can't react to the outside world. She seems to be separated from the outside world by a layer of glass. She can hear it, but can't touch it.

She didn't know how to eat by herself. She didn't know how to dress herself. She had to rely on others to help her eat and drink. She can't even commit suicide!

She was trapped inside the body of the fool. Every day, she watched herself being mocked and pranked by the crowd. She was angry and in despair but could do nothing.

For her, the days in her previous life were like a long nightmare!

She returned very early in this life. She became conscious when she was still in the stomach. On the day of her birth, she desperately squeezed Da Qiao and got out. So she didn't let herself become retarded again.

Since her rebirth, everything had been going smoothly. She had always been that family's kid. This is the first time that she had been embarrassed in public like this!

There was a burst of laughter around.

Song Jin Lai's wife laughed the most wildly: "Falling flat on their face, hahaha... I say, Fang Xiao Juan, it's too early for New Year. There's really no need to make such a large display of New Year greeting to everyone."

Song Jin Lai's wife didn't have any grudges with Fang Xiao Juan. It was just a habit of being sharp-tongued. What's more, she had always been jealous of Fang Xiao Juan's good-looking appearance and found Qiao Zhen Jun spoiling her like a treasure displeasing. So now she saw her making a fool of herself, she gloated.

Everyone couldn't resist laughing more when they heard Song Jin Lai's wife's words.

Fang Xiao Juan's face alternated between green and white. She got up with her hands on her waist. She spatted toward Song Jin Lai's wife: "You have the face to laugh at me. Don't you remember that you fell into a dung pit?"

Everyone laughed louder.

A few days ago, Song Family got half a jin of pork. When Song Jin Lai's wife was cooking, she secretly hid two pieces of fatty pork. Once it was the middle of the night when everyone was asleep, she got up to eat pork. In this cold winter weather, the pork was frozen and became cold and greasy. Song Jin Lai's wife started to have a stomachache soon after eating.

In the black night, she ran five or six times to the pit. The last time, she pooed until her legs weakened. She didn't even have the strength to stand. As soon as she stood up, her body tilted and she fell into the pit!

At that time, Song Jin Lai's wife howled so screechingly. Many children were frightened into tears, while the watchdogs barked non-stop. When Song Jin Lai's wife was rescued, her head to toe was covered with poo. The old and young of Song Family vomited at the sight!

Song Jin Lai's wife flushed with embarrassment. She pushed through the crowd and ran away with her face covered.

Pah, what did she think she was? As if she got any face to gloat in front of her!

Fang Xiao Juan's hands remained on her waist and looked triumphant.

Turning her head around, she saw Xiao Qiao was still lying on the ground. Immediately, she stop flaunting her power and helped her up: "My Jiao Jiao. Mommy's precious. Are you hurt from the fall? Let Mom see if you hurt anywhere?"

Seeing Xiao Qiao's forehead smashed, she felt distressed as if her heart had been dug out: "Goddamn. why is the forehead damaged like this? What if it becomes disfigured? Don't be afraid, Jiao Jiao. Mom is taking you to the health clinic now. Mom will ask the doctor to prescribe the best medicine for you. It will definitely not leave any scars on you!"

Hearing that her forehead was damaged, Xiao Qiao suddenly became anxious: "Let's go to the hospital now!"

She wanted to be fair and rich in her life. There was absolutely no room for blemishes on her face!

Qiao Xiu Zhi glanced at the fingernail-sized cut on Xiao Qiao's head and then glanced at the slap marks on Da Qiao's face. Her lips curled.

They were both birthed by her. One was held in her hand for fear of falling off and stuck in her mouth for fear of disappearing but the other was like she was picked up. She had to do everything at home, from feeding chickens, cooking and cutting pigweed.

This woman's heart was so biased all the way to the armpit!

"Okay, we'll go now."

Fang Xiao Juan supported Xiao Qiao up to leave. She looked down and saw that there was a puddle of water where she fell. Her anger "flared" again: "Why is there a puddle of water here? Was it you Da Qiao? You money-wasting thing, you poured water here on purpose, right?"

She glared at Da Qiao murderously, as if it wasn't her biological daughter who was standing in front of her but rather her enemy who killed her father.

Da Qiao saw her mom and sister fall down at the same time and felt distressed. She never thought she'll be stabbed by her mom before she could speak.

Her big apricot eyes became misty. She shook her two small hands: "No, it's not, me, I haven't..."

Fang Xiao Juan interrupted her and said with an impatient look: "It wasn't you, then it was you who brought the bad luck home. You black-hearted thing. I knew you would kill our whole family sooner or later!"

She fiercely shot daggered eyes at Da Qiao. If it weren't for her mother-in-law who stood there like an entrance god, she would have flown over and killed her!

Da Qiao lowered her eyes. Her eyelashes trembled lightly like butterfly wings in the rain.

She bit her pink lips. There was indescribable sadness in her heart.

It wasn't her.

She got up before dawn to clean the yard and cleaned every corner of the small yard. She didn't know where the water came from.

Maybe her mom was right, she was a calamity. She brought bad luck home.

Da Qiao's apricot eyes blinked. Two teardrops fell like pearls and hit the ground.

That pitful appearance made everyone's heart feel soft.

Someone persuaded, "Isn't Da Qiao a good kid? Fang Xiao Juan, why do you always scold the kid?"

Fang Xiao Juan glared: "You think she's good, then you take her back!"

That person immediately shut up.

At this age, every household didn't have enough to eat. Who would be okay with raising another's children? Not to mention that Da Qiao was a bit cursed.

Qiao Xiu Zhi narrowed her eyes and picked up the broom on the side and swung over: "Scram! Aren't you going back to your maternal home? Get out of here now. It's better that you never come back for the rest of your life!"

Qiao Xiu Zhi can kill a wild boar with a single punch. If she gets hit, even if she doesn't die, she will lose half her life!

Fang Xiao Juan was so frightened that she ran away while pulling Xiao Qiao with her. She didn't dare to return to pick up her shoe when it fell off.

Everyone burst into laughter again when they saw the mother and daughter running away in a panic.

After Fang Xiao Juan left, the villagers also dispersed.

Liu Cui Hua was the last one to leave: "Aunt Qiao, why don't you stop Fang Xiao Juan? The family got one young and one sick. How can it do to not have a woman?"

Qiao Xiu Zhi snorted: "With so many people in our old Qiao Family, are we unable to live without her, Fang Xiao Juan?"

Qiao Xiu Zhi made up her mind to treat Fang Xiao Juan. Since she wanted to go, let her go. But if she wanted to come back, it won't be so easy!

Liu Cui Hua was only blabbering a bit. Seeing that she had made up her mind, she stopped persuading and turned away.

The courtyard became quiet.

Qiao Xiu Zhi put the broom back, turned around, and saw Da Qiao standing there. She was staring straight at the door with big eyes. There was sadness on her small face that did not match her age.

The cotton-padded clothes on her were old and oversized. Patches covered everywhere. The trousers were like eight-parts trousers. It revealed the thin ankles that were as thin as dry wood, as if they would break with a pinch. The shoes under her feet weren't decent. The two big toes were exposed.

Let alone Qi Li Village, even in Dongfeng Community old Qiao Family's lifestyle was at the top. Although they can't freely eat fine white flour and rice every day, they had enough corn bread and coarse grains. Definitely won't leave their children hungry like refugees. Also, won't let the children be dressed in such a tattered fashion.

Besides, even though the second branch was separated, Qiao Zhen Jun was a well-known diligent man in the production team before getting paralyzed. What's more, he had learned carpentry work from others before, so he could take on some furniture-making work and earn money. There weren't many, but it was absolutely no problem to feed a family.

To make Da Qiao live like a beggar, it was Fang Xiao Juan's doing in the end!

Qiao Xiu Zhi cursed Fang Xiao Juan again in her heart. Then she said with a grimace: "On such a cold Tian, what are you doing here? Still not going in or do you rather turn into a frozen human popsicle?"

Da Qiao raised her head, looked straight at her grandmother with a pair of black crystal clear eyes, and whispered: "Grandmother, am, I, a calamity?"

Qiao Xiu Zhi discovered for the first time that this child's eyes were very beautiful. Black and shiny like stars in the night sky. As if they could speak.

She looked at herself cautiously. Her eyelashes trembling. So pitiful, like an abandoned kitten. No matter how hard-hearted people were, they couldn't help but soften their hearts at this sight.

Qiao Xiu Zhi slapped her on the head: "Not learning the got stuff and taking in all those nonsense! What calamity or money-wasting thing. Those all feudalism talk. Now it's a new society. Great leaders have said that women can support half the sky! Your mom's brain is broken by the door. Don't listen to her in the future, understand?"

Qiao Xiu Zhi didn't use any force at all. However, she was born with great strength. Da Qiao's head shook from her tap.

Despite hurting a bit, she was very happy.

Because Grandmother said she wasn't a calamity!

Da Qiao's eyebrows curved. Her mouth opened into a grin and revealed a mouthful of teeth: "I, under, stand, Grandmother!"

As long as she wasn't a calamity and will not curse her parents and Xiao Qiao to death, she will not be kicked out of the house. It was great!

She still wanted to ask when her mom would come back. But Qiao Xiu Zhi didn't give her this opportunity: "Still not hurrying back and re-make the medicine? Don't you want your dad to be better?"

Da Qiao remembered that the medicine had been wasted. For now, she couldn't care about asking when her mom would be back. She turned and ran towards the stove.

——

Fang Xiao Juan and Xiao Qiao waited until everyone left before they came back and put on their shoes. Then the mother and daughter pair went to the health clinic together.

It was just Xiao Qiao's wound was so small. The nurse at the health clinic was didn't have the patience to bother with at all. She only cleaned up the wound and drove them away.

After walking so far from the health clinic, Fang Xiao Juan was still scolding, "What about serving the people? I'm going to report her. The dog-eyed thing looked down people!"

Xiao Qiao walked with her head down, ignoring her complaints.

Her dad wasn't paralyzed in her last life. He had lived well. Although he hadn't become a rich guy, at least he hadn't dragged down the family.

But he was now paralyzed. Qiao Family had no backbone. What should to do in the future?

If Grandmother was willing to let them go back, then they can make do. But she hated her mom so much, she would definitely not want them to go back.

Her dad can't work in the field. What's more, he still needed someone to take care of him in everything. If this goes on, it will definitely affect her quality of life!

Really annoying!

If she knew earlier that something like this would happen, she wouldn't lie to Da Qiao to go to West Wood that day!

Damn, why wasn't the paralyzed person Da Qiao? Her luck was too good!

Xiao Qiao frowned, feeling agitated.

Fang Xiao Juan was dry from all the yelling. Only then she realized that Xiao Qiao hadn't responded to her at all.

If the person in front of her was Da Qiao, she would have thrown out a slap. But it was Xiao Qiao, she immediately became nervous: "Jiao Jiao'er, did you hit your head? Does your brain hurt? Mom will take you back to the health clinic for a check now. No, we won't go to the health clinic. We will ask Wang Shui Sheng for a letter of introduction and go to the town's hospital!"

As she spoke, she anxiously took Xiao Qiao to the production team leader, Wang Shui Sheng's house.

Xiao Qiao pulled back her hand and said impatiently: "Mom, I'm fine."

Fang Xiao Juan saw that there was nothing wrong with her and became relieved: "Great. Jiao Jiao'er is fine. Mom is relieved. Mom noticed that you haven't spoken for a long while and worried that you damage your brain."

Xiao Qiao was a famous child prodigy in Dongfeng Community. Even the secretary of the community praised her. No matter what she couldn't let her head be hurt. Otherwise, what would she have to show off to others in the future?

Xiao Qiao said: "I'm thinking about the future. My dad is paralyzed, what shall we do in the future?"

Fang Xiao Juan looked indifferent: "What what to do? Live life as we should."

Fang Xiao Juan wasn't worried. Qiao Family was well-known in Dongfeng Community. Although old Madam Qiao had a cold heart, she can't just watch her son and granddaughter starve to death, right?

So she wasn't worried about the future at all. What she had to do now was to figure out a way to drive out the calamity, Da Qiao. As long as the calamity is gone, their family will definitely regain their luck!

With her mother's brain cells, if she didn't break things down, the two of them will talk for a lifetime and not reach the same point.

So Xiao Qiao went straight in: "Mom, have you ever thought about divorcing my dad?"
