Adored Koi in the ’70s

on both sides, it was taken out.
The garlic and ginger was added in before the loach was put back in again to fry it twice.
In goes five bowls of water.
Then the diced tofu was thrown into the pot.
Soon, the soup in the pot turned milky white with a strong fish scent wafting up.

She sprinkled the chopped shallots to the bottom of the large bowl and poured the fish soup over.
The loach tofu soup was complete.

When it was time to eat, Da Qiao's loach and tofu soup was unanimously approved by everyone.
It wasn't because Xue Chuan's cooking skills weren't good, but because she was so young and her cooking skills were so good.
It had surprised everyone.

Qin Xiao Mei's mouth was full of flavorful food.
Her eyes greedily looked at Da Qiao: “This soup is so delicious.
Da Qiao sweetheart, why are you so amazing?”

Da Qiao's went red from the praise.
She revealed a sweet toothy smile: “I learned it all from my grandfather.
My grandfather is the truly awesome one.
Still, I'm also quite amazing.”

Seeing that she didn't forget to praise herself at the end, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Qin Xiao Mei hit by her cuteness and wished she could take her home.
She felt even more regretful that such a sweet and lovely girl wasn't her own daughter?

Chu Sheng Mei also liked Da Qiao very much.
She leaned over and whispered to her fiancé, “It would be great if I could have a child as cute as Da Qiao in the future.”

Du Zhuo Cheng looked at her and smiled softly: “Only a cute mother can give birth to a cute child.”

Chu Sheng Mei's cheeks heated up when he praised her.
Two red clouds appeared up immediately.

When everyone saw it, they all tolerantly smiled.

After lunch, Chu Family and Shen Family prepared to leave.
Especially since Chu Family had to rush back to the county town today.

Before leaving, Da Qiao put her homemade dried roses and jasmine flowers in orange cans.
She gave five cans to each families.

This time, both Chu Tian Bai and Dong Xue had to sigh.
At such a young age, she was sensible, considerate, and capable.
This was the little padded jacket that all parents want!

Seeing Da Qiao and thinking about her own situation, Dong Xue couldn't help feeling sorry for herself.
A child like Da Qiao was too rare.
Even if she was given a little Wan'er, she would be satisfied.

At a glance, Chu Tian Bai knew what his wife was thinking.
When no one was paying attention, he reached out and grasped his wife's hand.

Dong Xue looked up at her husband, feeling both comfort and discomfort in her heart.

…

After Chu Family and Shen Family left, Qiao Family returned to calmness again.
While Fang Family was very lively.

Fang You Rou died.

When Fang You Liang was found, he was sleeping on the straw pile.
After being pushed awake and questioned about Fang You Rou by everyone, Fang You Liang wasn't panicked at all.
He said he didn't know Fang You Rou had fallen into the water.
When he left, Fang You Rou was still standing on the shore.

Wang Shui Sheng asked him why he left Younger Brother and ran off.
He acted as if it was natural.
Explaining that he didn't like tails.
He also said that he didn't hear Younger Brother's call for help.
If he heard it, he would definitely go back to save him.

When he said these words, he didn't feel guilty at all.
His eyes didn't even blink.
For a moment, the few cadres didn't know whether he was lying or not.

It was just that after hearing that his younger brother died, he didn't look sad from the beginning to the end.
His cold-blood was enough to make people feel chilled!

Fang Xiao Juan was stunned when she heard the news of her little nephew's death by drowning.
Like Xiao Qiao, she only remembered it after it happened.

She grieved for a moment before quickly putting the matter behind her.

Xiao Qiao told her mom about the richest man Huo.
Then she asked her mom if she had any impression of the matter.

After Fang Xiao Juan heard it, she patted her thigh and responded, “Oh, you reminded me! How could I forget such an important thing?”

Xiao Qiao frowned and said, “Mom, do you mean that the son of the richest man Huo's son is really that kid from the pigsty?”

Fang Xiao Juan curled her lips and sneered, “Him? Haha, he wish.
Unfortunately, he doesn't have that fate! It's not him.
I remember richest man Huo's son is eleven years old this year.
He is still on the farm!”

Xiao Qiao made sure: “Mom, are you sure? It's really not that family in the pigsty?”

Fang Xiao Juan impatiently replied: “Of course not! Back then, when richest man Huo came to pick up his son in his car, I happened to be visiting nearby.
I went to watch.
The boy was very handsome.
Nothing like the one in the pigsty!”

When Xiao Qiao heard this, she finally felt at ease: “Mom, since we know who richest man Huo's son is, we should treat him well while he is at his lowest point.
He will be grateful to us when he is taken back by richest man Huo!”

Since richest man Huo's son looks good and he had such a powerful rich dad, she can consider marrying him in the future.
This way, she will not have to worry about anything for the rest of her life!

Fang Xiao Juan's eyes lit up.
She nodded, “You are right.
But he is on the farm now.
We need to find a way to encounter him.
That way, we can easily send him things in the future!”

Xiao Qiao shook her head and commented, “Mom, I don't think this can work.
We have no relationship with him.
What reason do we use to see him? Why don't we just send something to him and leave our names and addresses.
Then wait for the other party to come over later.
We'll say it was sent to the wrong person.
Since the other party has received our benefits for so many years, he has to shoulder this gratitude!”

The smile on Fang Xiao Juan's face became even deeper: “You considered it carefully.
Okay, let's go with your method!”

The mother and daughter pair were looking forward to a bright future.
They had dreams of getting rich that night.
One dreamed that she was married to richest man Huo, and the other dreamed that she married richest man Huo's son.

Wonder what expression they would have if they knew what each other's dreams were.

In addition to Fang Family, tragedy also struck Chen Qiao Qiao.

After Chen Qiao Qiao was fed abortion medicine by her eldest brother and second elder brother that day, she was in severe pain.
What was even more tragic was that she was bleeding profusely.
The blood flowed continuously.
It would never stop no matter what.

What chilled her was that she was about to die and her family hesitated whether to send her to the hospital.
It was because going to the hospital meant they had to spend money, which they don't want.

At that moment, she felt as if she had been pushed into the ice cellar in the cold winter.
Blood frozen from head to toe.

She regretted it.
She shouldn't betray Qiao Zhen Min.
If something happened to her at Qiao's house, Qiao Family would definitely not let her die.

At that moment, she remembered Qiao Zhen Min's kindness to her.
Her heart felt cut up by a knife.

In the end, she rolled off the bed, knelt down, and begged her family.
She promised that she would pay them back the money for going to the hospital.
So they sent her to the hospital.

At this time, she woke up in the hospital and felt a throbbing pain in her lower body and belly.

She turned her head and looked around the room.
No family in sight.

In the next hospital bed was a woman about her age.
It was unknown what her illness was.
She was currently leaning against the pillow with a pale face.
Her husband was feeding her soup.
His movements were very gentle.
From time to time, he wiped her mouth.

Chen Qiao Qiao's eyes heat up from this sight.
Her mind thought of Qiao Zhen Min again.

Although she took the initiative to approach Qiao Zhen Min, Qiao Zhen Min was very responsible.
Since he admitted that she was his match, he would bring her some small things every time he came back from a business trip.

Sometimes it was some snacks.
Sometimes it was a few headbands.
Although it wasn't worth much, she was very happy when she received it at that time.
It showed that he had put her in his heart.

When did their relationship start to change?

Oh, that's right.
It started when she realized that little Wan'er was different from other children.

Little Wan'er didn't respond to others.
She can stay in the same place all day long.
From birth to three years old, she had never seen her utter a sound except crying!

They took her to the county town for an examination.
The doctor said nothing wrong.
The child was healthy.
As for why this happened, the doctor said that the child may be born dull-witted.

In other words, the child was born stupid and had no brains!

She never liked stupid people.
Before marrying Qiao Zhen Min, she imagined how smart their children would be in the future.
Unexpectedly, she birth such an idiot.
She was extremely disappointed at that time.

At first, she didn't want to believe that her child would be stupider than others.
She forced little Wan'er to learn.
She taught her to speak, and taught her to write.
If she didn't obey, she whipped her with a feather duster and made her howl.
Still, the child was born to collect debts.
No matter how she taught her, she was still as stupid as a pig.

Of course, she whipped little Wan'er while Qiao Zhen Min wasn't at home.
One time, Qiao Zhen Min came back a few days early and found a scar on little Wan'er.
Although she muddled through it in the end, their relationship began to sour from that time.

If there was no little Wan'er, her relationship with Qiao Zhen Min won't change.
Nor would she be with Tian Jian Min.
So all this was that idiot's fault in the end!

The more Chen Qiao Qiao thought about it, the more hatred brew in her heart.
If she knew earlier, she would have been killed as soon as she was born!

At this time, her second sister-in-law came in with a food box.
Seeing that she was awake, there was no delight on her face: “Are you awake? Eat your meal now that you are awake.
Hurry up, I have to go back to do housework!”

Chen Qiao Qiao already knew that her family was cold and cruel.
But when she heard Second Sister-in-law's words, she couldn't help but feel depressed.

She sat up and wanted to bring the food box over to eat.
However, this action pulled the wound in her lower body.
It made her gasp in pain.
Her second sister-in-law act like she didn't see it.
Just indifferently twiddle with her fingers.

Chen Qiao Qiao tried several times, but it was so painful that she gave up: “Second Sister-in-law, I want to ask you a favor.”

Second Sister-in-law Chen continued to pretend to be deaf.

Chen Qiao Qiao gritted his teeth with hatred: “As long as you help me go to Qiao's house to pass a message, I'll give you a yuan later!”

This time, Second Sister-in-law Chen finally listened.
She raised her head: “Do you really have money on you?”

Chen Qiao Qiao nodded: “I brought back thirty yuan this time.
As long as you help me, I will give you the money when I go back.”

Second Sister-in-law Chen wasn't afraid of her defaulting on her debts.
She nodded and said, “Okay, what do you want me to pass?”

Chen Qiao Qiao pursed her lips: “Go to Qiao's house and say I'm going to die.
Before I die, I want to see Qiao Zhen Min.
Tell him to come over.”

Hearing this, Second Sister-in-law Chen's drooping eyes smilingly stared: “Little sister, I didn't expect you to use this trick.
Okay, I'll make a trip for you.
Don't forget the money!”

Chen Qiao Qiao was embarrassed by her smile: “I won't forget it.”

For the sake of money, Second Sister-in-law Chen went to Qiao's house that day.

It was a pity that she didn't see Qiao Zhen Min.
She didn't even enter Qiao's house.
Instead, she was splashed with water by Qiao Xiu Zhi and was chased by Qiao Family's dog in the end.

Later, Qiao Zhen Min found out that Chen Qiao Qiao was looking for him.
He just sneered and threw it to the back of his mind.

A month after she was discharged from the hospital, Chen Qiao Qiao was arranged by her family to marry a fifty-year-old man whose wife had died.
The man was ugly and old.
He looked older than her dad.

More importantly, his son was older than her.
She didn't want to marry.
However, she was knocked out by her family and sent to the village.

The village was very remote.
She didn't even know the name and location of the village.
The old man was afraid that she would run away, so he kept a dog to guard her.

She had nowhere to turn for help.
At this moment, she truly realized what she had done wrong.

It was just there was no regret medicine in the world.
