Chapter 66: Qin Shuo’s Hand Bled

“Mom! Speak properly!”

“Speak properly to you, you big-headed fool! You still know you have a mother?”

“Hey, hey, hey, don’t pull my ear!”

Xu Zhengfa had just reached the courtyard when he heard loud noises coming from inside.

As soon as he entered, he saw his wife grabbing a beautiful girl, scolding her non-stop!

It looked like the broom was about to come down.

He quickly rushed forward to stop her, “Miaofang, let’s talk calmly!”

“Dad!”

The savior had arrived. Xu Jiaojiao, with tears in her eyes, quickly hid behind Xu Zhengfa.

Xu Zhengfa was completely shocked!

What did she call him?

Where did he get such a beautiful daughter?

“Dad, it’s me, your fifth sister!”

Seeing that her father didn’t react at all, Xu Jiaojiao quickly added another sentence.

She didn’t forget to dodge Luo Miaofang’s broom.

“Bang!” The broom hit Xu Zhengfa.

Xu Jiaojiao was speechless!

Luo Miaofang finally stopped!

Xu Zhengfa was still stunned.

“You, you, you… How did you become like this?”

Xu Jiaojiao: …

With that tone, you wouldn’t know if she had been disfigured.

“Dad, girls change a lot as they grow up, haven’t you heard?” Xu Jiaojiao said shamelessly.

Strangely, Xu Zhengfa accepted it calmly.

He didn’t seem to think there was anything wrong with her appearance.

Until he said, “Fifth sister really looks like her grandma.”

Luo Miaofang was still angry, rolling her eyes.

“What’s the use of being beautiful? You have such a bad temper. You’re only a few steps away, but you haven’t been back for half a year. Do you still consider me your mother?”

Xu Jiaojiao dared not speak, just hung her head, letting her mother scold her.

Finally, when her mother’s anger subsided, she started to coax her.

Only when she coaxed Luo Miaofang until she was happy did Xu Jiaojiao breathe a sigh of relief.

The strange sense of alienation also disappeared.

It felt like the person in front of her was truly her mother.

Thinking about what she had to do, Xu Jiaojiao blinked her slightly sore eyes, took Luo Miaofang’s hand, and said coquettishly:

“Mom, I’ll move back home and take care of you both, okay?”

Hearing this, Luo Miaofang’s face changed, she pulled her close again, and said seriously: “What’s going on? Did Qin Shuo bully you?”

Xu Zhengfa also frowned.

Looking at their worried faces, Xu Jiaojiao felt increasingly sour.

But she couldn’t speak ill of Qin Shuo.

He hadn’t done anything wrong to her.

After a pause, Xu Jiaojiao said again: “Mom, you know me, I…”

Before she could finish, the air seemed to suddenly freeze.

Xu Jiaojiao mechanically turned her head towards the door and met those dark eyes.

The storm in the man’s eyes seemed to swallow her whole.

Her heart skipped a beat!

“Qin Shuo, why are you standing outside? Come in and sit down!”

Xu Zhengfa also saw Qin Shuo outside and quickly greeted his son-in-law.

As for what his daughter had just said, he just thought it was a small quarrel between the couple.

Luo Miaofang, on the other hand, secretly pinched her daughter, her eyes warning her not to talk nonsense!

How dare Xu Jiaojiao say anything?

At this moment, she wished she could disappear on the spot.

But as the man approached, the overwhelming pressure made her unable to move.

In the end, she could only stiffen her limbs and follow the others into the kitchen.

“Qin Shuo, why did you bring meat again? Just keep it for yourself.”

Luo Miaofang said, her tone neither happy nor unhappy.

There was no sign of a mother-in-law’s warmth towards her son-in-law.

Realizing that her mother had misunderstood, Xu Jiaojiao’s scalp tingled.

She pulled at her mother’s sleeve and whispered, “Mom, it’s not his fault, I’ll tell you later.”

Hearing this, Luo Miaofang glared at her daughter again, then greeted Qin Shuo.

Sandwiched in the middle, Xu Jiaojiao felt like she was going crazy.

On the left was Luo Miaofang, with a dark face, and on the right was Qin Shuo, with low pressure.

Especially the man’s gloomy gaze, as if he was going to devour her.

Xu Jiaojiao’s heart trembled even more.

Fortunately, Xu Dad led him to the dining table, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Fifth sister, what did you cook?”

Luo Miaofang said as she walked towards the stove.

Xu Jiaojiao immediately followed, looking like she was avoiding the man.

“Mom, I cooked lean meat porridge, I’ll wash the bowls.”

Hearing this, Luo Miaofang’s eyes were full of surprise, “Oh, I didn’t know you’ve become so diligent?”

“I’ve grown up, I’m definitely different from when I was a child.”

Xu Jiaojiao mumbled softly.

But this didn’t satisfy Luo Miaofang, she glared at her daughter and said: “You’re so sensible, why are you still making trouble? You’re not young anymore, hurry up and have a baby, others your age already have two or three children!”

Xu Jiaojiao: …

Why did she have to bring this up?

Without raising her head, Xu Jiaojiao could feel that meaningful gaze.

She had a feeling that if it wasn’t for the wrong place, she wouldn’t be able to squat here and wash dishes properly.

Shocked by her own thoughts, Xu Jiaojiao’s hands and feet became even more stiff.

“Did you hear me?” Luo Miaofang saw that she was absent-minded and tapped her head.

“Ah? Oh.” Xu Jiaojiao was indeed absent-minded.

She hadn’t paid attention to what Luo Miaofang had said later, and simply agreed.

How would Luo Miaofang know what she was thinking? Seeing her agree, a satisfied smile finally appeared on her face.

“There’s no such thing as a grudge between husband and wife overnight. You should also calm down and have a child soon. Have your confinement in the spring next year, it won’t be too cold or too hot.”

Xu Jiaojiao: …

Finally hearing what she said, Xu Jiaojiao felt like a cotton ball was stuffed in her heart, making her uncomfortable.

After washing the bowls, she took them to the table and placed them one by one.

When she placed the bowl in front of the man, her hands trembled slightly, and she didn’t dare to look at him.

But the man’s gaze, as if it were real, made her heart skip a beat.

Finally, she placed the bowl, Xu Jiaojiao was about to sit next to Luo Miaofang when her hand was pulled by someone.

The hot temperature from the rough fingertips was transmitted, Xu Jiaojiao’s heart skipped a beat.

She felt her legs trembling slightly.

But under Luo Miaofang’s warning gaze, Xu Jiaojiao could only sit next to him.

Her heart was racing.

During the meal, Xu Zhengfa and Qin Shuo’s voices could be heard from time to time.

The father and son chatted casually.

Xu Jiaojiao, sitting next to Qin Shuo, ate without appetite.

“Qin Shuo, Jiaojiao is spoiled by me and her father, please be patient with her.”

Suddenly, Luo Miaofang said to Qin Shuo.

“If she does anything wrong, just tell us, and I’ll scold her later.”

Although she said she would scold her later, her words implied that she was protecting her daughter.

Xu Jiaojiao’s eyes suddenly felt a little sore.

After a pause, she put down her bowl, took a deep breath, and said: “Mom, I was serious just now, I’ll move back to Xu’s house and take care of you both in the future!”

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a “click”.

Then, Luo Miaofang’s exclamation followed.

“Her father, quickly get some tobacco, Qin Shuo’s hand is bleeding!”
