The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

"Boss, did you hear anything?"

"Yes, I heard it. I want to see who is so bold as to bully a widow in broad daylight."

As she was talking, Qiao Xi saw a man and a woman approaching.

These two people are not outsiders, Qiao Xi knows them both.

The man was an older brother of the same family named Xu Chong, and the woman was his wife named Lu Yun.

Although we seldom get together on weekdays, we all know each other.

Seeing their surprised and hesitant looks, Qiao Xi knew that they recognized her as well.

But what does the hesitation in their eyes mean?

Never mind, she still has to act.

Qiao Xi continued to hit Zhang Quan with the stick. "You scoundrel, you actually tried to take advantage of me in broad daylight. I'll beat you up. I'm already married, and you actually want to ruin my reputation. You bad guy, I'll beat you up."

Zhang Quan was screaming in pain after being beaten. At first he said he didn't understand what Qiao Xi was doing, but when he saw Xu Chong and Lu Yun, he finally understood.

He wanted to ask for help, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was frightened by the stick swung by Qiao Xi and had no chance to speak.

What Zhang Quan didn't know was that if he didn't find an opportunity to speak now, he would never have the chance to speak again in the future.

Xu Chong hated people who acted recklessly the most. When he got closer, he raised his fist and started chasing Zhang Quan to beat him.

While beating him, he shouted, "You stinky hooligan, I'll teach you a lesson. You stinky hooligan..."

With Xu Chong joining in, Qiao Qian, who was fighting vigorously, was hugged by Lu Yun. "Sister Qian, put the stick down quickly, be careful not to hurt anyone by mistake. Don't worry, your brother is here to take care of him, he can't touch you."

Looking at the hand around her waist, Qiao Xi knew that her goal had been achieved. She simply threw away the stick in her hand, turned around and hugged Lu Yun, and began to cry in grievance.

"Wow, sister-in-law, I have such a miserable life! My husband is gone, my mother-in-law is gone too, no one treats me well anymore, and I get bullied even when I come out to burn paper for my mother-in-law. Why am I so miserable, woo woo..."

As she spoke, tears began to flow from Qiao Xi's eyes as if a floodgate had been opened.

Looking at Qiao Xi crying and listening to her complaining about her grievances, Lu Yun felt pity.

Listening to her crying, my eyes unconsciously turned red.

For a moment, Qiao Xi was crying and sobbing, while Zhang Quan was wailing in pain.

Zhang Quan was a little exhausted after being hit by several punches from Xu Chong.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that Qiao Xi's stick didn't hurt as much as Xu Chong's fist.

What Zhang Quan didn't know was that this was not his illusion.

It wasn't that Qiao Xi was being lenient; it was that she was doing it on purpose. If she had really used force and knocked him unconscious with a few blows, how could she continue her acting?

Zhang Quan failed to dodge and was punched in the face again. He grimaced in pain and howled even louder.

Knowing he was no match for his opponent and seeing that Qiao Xi had no chance to attack, he turned and ran.

No matter what, let’s save our lives first.

Seeing this, Xu Chong did not chase after her. Instead, he turned and walked up to his wife, looked at Qiao Xi who was still crying, frowned, and spoke in a low voice.

"Well, sister-in-law, don't be afraid. I've already beaten that brat Zhang Quan away."

Hearing her husband say this, Lu Yun also agreed.

"Yes, yes, look, your brother is here too. Stop crying. If you're scared, your brother and I will take you home."

Xu Chong nodded, "Yes, we'll take you home."

Listening to their consolation, Qiao Xi knew it was time to stop, so her crying gradually subsided, then turned into sobbing, and finally silent tears.

It is really heartbreaking to see such a little girl crying with her eyes red.

Looking at Qiao Xi again, not only were her eyes red, but she was also crying silently, like raindrops hitting a lotus flower, so delicate and delicate. Lu Yun couldn't stand to see this the most.

After comforting Qiao Xi, he cursed Zhang Quan bitterly.

Seeing that Qiao Xi was calm, Lu Yun spoke softly, "Sister Xi, let's go home."

As he said that, he supported Qiao Xi and walked towards home.

After only a few dozen steps, Qiao Xi stopped.

Xu Chong and Lu Yun looked at her in confusion.

Being looked at like this by the two, Qiao Xi was embarrassed and said in a low voice, "Brother, sister-in-law, I can't go back yet."

"Why?" Lu Yun asked in surprise.

When she asked this, Qiao Xi's eyes filled with tears again and her voice was filled with self-blame.

"It's all my fault. I scared my mother-in-law. I couldn't see her off when she passed away, and I'm so sad. Today is the seventh day after her death. I want to kneel in front of her grave for three hours. That way I'll feel better."

Seeing that she was about to cry again, Lu Yun hurried to comfort her, "You didn't mean it. Auntie is a good person, she wouldn't blame you if she knew."

After a pause, he continued, "Besides, you're not fully recovered yet. You can kneel down again when you're fully recovered."

"But--"

"Oh, don't say anything, just listen to your sister-in-law and go home quickly."

Qiao Xi wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Lu Yun after she uttered two words, and then was dragged home by her.

……

Because the funeral is over, the mourning banners and pennants hanging in the house must be taken down.

When Qiao Xi was sent home by Xu Chong and Lu Yun, she happened to see Xu Yi taking down the funeral curtain.

"Yan Zheng, I'm busy. Do you need help, big brother?"

Xu Chong entered the yard first and took the initiative to greet Xu Yi.

Hearing the sound, Xu Yi looked towards the door.

"Brother Chong, sister-in-law." He nodded and greeted the two of them, and finally looked at Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi raised her eyes and met his.

Xu Yi's eyes were indifferent, and the corners of his lips curved up in a certain arc, as if mocking, "Why is my sister-in-law with Chong's sister-in-law?"

Qiao Xi lowered her head and stammered, "I, I—"

"Hey, Yan Zheng, your sister-in-law and I asked her to come back. Come," Xu Chong put his arm around Xu Yi's neck, "let's go over there and talk."

Seeing Qiao Xi's frightened expression, Lu Yun, though somewhat puzzled, still took her hand and said, "Sister Xi, your eldest brother will talk to your uncle, so don't worry."

"Come, sister-in-law will help you lie down on the bed and rest."

Qiao Xi was willing to not have to confront Xu Yi for the time being.

So he nodded and went into the room.

Qiao Xi, lying in bed, was not having an easy time.

While she was about to talk to Lu Yun, she was also thinking about what Xu Chong would say.

"uh-huh!"

Suddenly, a light cough was heard outside the window. Lu Yun, who was talking to Qiao Xi, stood up and smiled softly. "It seems that they have finished talking over there. It's time for your brother and I to leave."

Hearing this, Qiao Xi wanted to sit up and see her off, but Lu Yun pushed her back down and told her to take good care of herself and he would come to see her another day.

After that, he went out.

Soon, the sound of several people talking could be heard in the yard, but the voices became smaller and smaller, and soon nothing could be heard.

The quieter it was outside, the more uneasy Qiao Xi felt.

In a short while, the door of her room was pushed open.

Seeing Xu Yi's uncertain expression, Qiao Qian opened her mouth but suddenly forgot what she was going to say.

At this moment, Xu Yi stared at Qiao Xi with his gloomy eyes, "Sister-in-law is really capable!"
