Chapter 7

“No wonder! No wonder you called us both mom and dad today.”

“You’ve made up your mind. Why don’t you use 500 yuan to buy out our relationship?”

Qiao Changhai was extremely heartbroken. He turned his back and wiped his tears, his voice choked and trembling.

“You have been in our family for 11 years. I know that you have been suffering a lot during these 11 years, following the two of us crippled people.”

“When you were in school, we would always follow you from a distance when we picked you up and dropped you off. We were afraid that your classmates would know that you had a pair of disabled parents and laugh at you and bully you…”

“I will buy you everything that the city kids eat and use. My girl, I really want you to live a decent life.”

Thinking back to the past, Qiao Baozhu burst into tears.

How could she not feel such strong love?

When she was young, she was ignorant. After she got married, she experienced several social beatings and witnessed the intrigues. She finally understood that the purest and most selfless love at that time was given by her adoptive parents.

“That’s all…”

Qiao Changhai looked up and sighed, and made excuses for Qiao Baozhu himself.

“Do whatever you want. We didn’t expect you to…”

Before Qiao Changhai could finish his words, Qiao Baozhu walked up to him and knelt on the ground.

“Dad, I’m sorry, I was wrong.”

“When I asked Ge Liuping for the betrothal money today, she said that the betrothal money given by the man was originally for the woman’s parents.”

“My daughter spends money at her parents’ house, but when she grows up and can earn money, she has to marry into her husband’s family. As parents, it is only natural to take some money from her.”

Qiao Baozhu raised her head and looked at Qiao Changhai pitifully.

“When my eldest sister got married, they used this reason to let her wear a half-new coat when she went out.”

“Later, my second brother wanted to get married, but they were reluctant to spend money to build a house. They used the excuse that the third family had no children to support them in their old age, and forced you to use the house in exchange for my adoption.”

When Qiao Changhai saw that his daughter understood everything, the confusion on his face deepened.

“Since you remember everything, why are you still so stubborn? We finally got you a city hukou, and we were about to get you a temporary job. Why did you secretly go to the countryside without telling us?”

Qiao Baozhu secretly went to the street to sign up for going to the countryside without telling him, and the place she went to was Qingyanshan Farm. Her purpose was to get closer to her biological parents.

What made Qiao Changhai sad was not that Qiao Baozhu was close to her biological parents, but that Qiao Baozhu did not distinguish between the important and the unimportant and was determined to return to that hellish pit even at the cost of her own future.

Qiao Baozhu saw the grief-stricken looks on her adoptive parents’ faces.

There was no way she could backstab the two elders, she had already done it. Nothing she said now would help, thinking of this, Qiao Baozhu gritted her teeth, raised her head and looked at Qiao Changhai, shouting in hatred.

“Because I want revenge on them!”

“I want them to see with their own eyes that I make more money than any of their children. I want them to see it, not touch it. I want them to regret it.”

“Don’t the villagers laugh at your disability and the fact that you don’t have a son to take care of you in your old age? I’ll let them see how I, your adopted daughter, can be filial to you.”

The hatred bursting from Qiao Baozhu’s eyes made Qiao Changhai tremble with fear.

“Confused!”

Qiao Changhai was angry and distressed, “Just because you are angry with these people, you want to marry someone you don’t know?”

“This is a lifelong event!”

Qiao Changhai beat his chest and stamped his feet, fearing that his daughter would pass away and ruin her life because of the resentment in her heart.

He helped Qiao Baozhu up, bent down and patted the dirt off her knees, then frowned and told her his plan.

“I’ll go back as soon as it’s daybreak and ask for leave from the farm. Just say you’re sick and need to stay home for a few days.”

“Then I’ll go to the Corps and ask that Shen to return the money. As for your grandfather, he has Qiao Xifeng to bring him good luck. If anything goes wrong, I’ll be the unfilial son. Anyway, there’s no need to sacrifice you.”

These words are exactly the same as what I said in the previous life.

At that time, Qiao Baozhu was young and believed the lies of her biological parents. She thought that her third uncle strongly opposed the marriage because he was afraid that he would no longer be able to control himself in the future.

Now it seems that everything my adoptive father had in mind was for his own happiness.

“Dad, I’m not a child. How can I joke about my marriage? I have my own reasons for doing this.”

Qiao Baozhu knew the tempers of her adoptive parents. The more she praised Shen Xiao for being so outstanding, the more worried her adoptive father would be. The only solution was to bring the key point to herself.

“My eldest sister has been married for many years but still can’t have a child. Her mother-in-law scolds her all the time, and her brother-in-law takes out his anger on her by beating her when he drinks. My eldest sister begged me to take her to see a doctor, to see if the problem of not being able to have a child is with her…”

Qiao Changhai was stunned, not understanding why the second wife’s eldest daughter Chunfeng was involved again.

“My eldest sister’s health is just that she was too weak when she was a child, and she hasn’t had any good food in the past few years at her husband’s house. As long as her qi and blood are replenished, she will be able to give birth to a child.”

“My situation is even more serious than my eldest sister’s…”

When they heard Qiao Baozhu talking about herself, Qiao Changhai and Bao Huihua became nervous.

“What do you mean? You’re not feeling well, too?”

Qiao Baozhu nodded. She was not lying.

In her previous life, after she married Zhao Haiyang, she couldn’t have children for several years. She went to the hospital for a checkup and found that her fallopian tube was blocked on one side. In that era, the medical level was not good and this disease could not be cured at all.

Fortunately, the woman had two fallopian tubes, and after a few years, her son was born.

Unfortunately, her precious son had a bad fate, having to deal with a rubbish father like Zhao Haiyang who was a beast in human form…

When Qiao Baozhu thought of the child who died young, tears welled up in her eyes and she nodded with a gloomy expression.

“I stayed there for eight years, and I was afraid that I would suffer from the same problem as my elder sister, that of insufficient Qi and blood.”

Qiao Baozhu laughed at herself and said, “After the examination, the doctor said that I have sufficient blood and qi, but my fallopian tubes are blocked.”

“What’s blocking it?”

Qiao Changhai’s eyelids twitched and he had a feeling that what his daughter said was true.

“Blocked fallopian tubes mean infertility. It can’t be cured…”

Qiao Changhai’s head buzzed.

Qiao Changhai hesitated, his face full of worry: “My daughter, why is your life so miserable…”

“This disease cannot be concealed. My son-in-law will know about it eventually. If I can’t have children, my life will be hard in the future.”

Who doesn’t marry a daughter-in-law for the purpose of having children? If her husband’s family knew that Qiao Baozhu was infertile, they would definitely kick her out of the house.

Just as Qiao Baozhu had expected, as soon as her adoptive father heard that she had health problems, he forgot all about her disobedience and unfilial behavior.

The sky is big, the earth is big, but it is not as big as my daughter. This father really loves her.

“I am also worried. I don’t know whether I should tell the matchmaker about this.”

When Qiao Changhai heard that Qiao Baozhu wanted to inform the matchmaker in advance, his eyelids twitched.

“You can’t tell me! If this gets out, who will want you?”

Bao Huihua couldn’t speak, but when she heard her husband’s words, she shouted “woo woo woo” a few times at her daughter.

Qiao Baozhu took her adoptive mother’s arm, smiled soothingly, and signaled her to relax.

“Listen to me! I was struggling on the farm over whether or not to tell the truth, when I heard that Qiao Xifeng was at home breaking off the engagement.”

“She found out Shen Xiao’s secret. She said that Captain Shen was injured in the war and will not be able to have children in the future…”

“If she can’t have children, even if she has a fortune, it won’t be passed down to Xifeng in the end. That’s why the family came up with the idea of ​​a bride swap.”

As she spoke, Qiao Baozhu winked at her adoptive father.

Qiao Changhai suddenly realized and slapped his thigh excitedly.

“This is really a lucky break! You and Captain Shen can’t have children, you two are simply a perfect match!”

Qiao Baozhu was not sure whether Shen Xiao was really ill.

But in the previous life, Qiao Xifeng made it known to everyone that Shen Xiao was disabled and inhumane.

Even on the day she was killed by Qiao Xifeng, Qiao Xifeng was still cursing Shen Xiao as a useless man who made her a widow for the rest of her life.

Therefore, Qiao Baozhu guessed that Shen Xiao didn’t like women because he couldn’t.

No, okay…

Qiao Baozhu felt very happy.

She was extremely disgusted with matters between men and women, and Shen Xiao happened to be not into that either.

After getting married, they lived their own lives, without affecting each other or looking down on each other.

It’s so beautiful!
