Refusing to marry a widower, I went on a crazy spree of sending my children to the army.

The Qiao family tacitly agreed to Qiao Zhenzhen returning to her parents' home, but before noon, news of Qin Youbin's arrest spread throughout Qingshan Brigade!

"Good heavens! Qin Erhua is a real scoundrel! She actually introduced a virgin to the Qiao family!"

"What are you giving to the Qiao family? They're clearly trying to ruin our Qingshan Brigade's daughter."

No wonder they introduced Zhao Zhaodi first; they saw the girl was out of favor and wanted to control her!

Many people breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was fortunate that the man surnamed Qin was blind and did not take a fancy to their daughter.

Upon learning this, Ma Qiuhua's face was full of smugness: "What did I tell you? What did I tell you? You still didn't believe me!"

In the entire Qingshan Brigade, only Manman and I are truly insightful!

Remembering Aunt Qiuhua's earlier remarks, everyone rushed over to flatter her.

He mentioned Qiao Manman in his conversation and praised her for being smart.

"It's just that Zhenzhen is a bit unlucky. If it had been even a day later, she wouldn't have been violated by Qin Youbing!"

Ma Qiuhua glanced at the other person with a half-smile, thinking to herself, "Is it possible that this matter was exposed because she married into the family?"

Okay, this is an unsolved case, let's not talk about it anymore.

When the Qiao family heard about it, they took Qiao Zhenzhen to confront Qin Erhua.

Qin Erhua felt guilty; she had tried to persuade Qin Youbin, but he wouldn't listen.

"What does this have to do with me? I'm not Youbin's mother, how can I control his third leg?"

What can I do? I've already got the marriage certificate, so I guess I'll just have to accept it!

"We women, it doesn't matter who we marry, we can't just get divorced, can we?"

These words are so infuriating.

Even if Qiao Lao Er and Qiao Lao Si don't love their niece, they can't let others bully her.

With a cold snort, he grabbed his weapon and smashed the Zhao family's house.

Qin Erhua was also injured.

"We must get a divorce! If the Qin family doesn't agree, we'll come and make a scene every day."

Qin Erhua looked at the mess on the ground and became anxious: "You should be looking for the Qin family, why are you looking for me!"

"We're looking over there too, but you, the culprit, won't escape responsibility!"

When the Qiao brothers left, everyone said Qin Erhua deserved it.

Knowing full well what kind of person his cousin was, he still dared to harm the girls in the team.

Not breaking her legs was a light punishment.

Before the night was even over, Qiao Lao Er and Qiao Lao Si went to the commune.

When they went to the Qin family to discuss the divorce, Old Mrs. Qin refused no matter what.

"Smash it, hit it, do whatever you want. This marriage is not a divorce!"

The old lady gave up entirely.

They've lost all face and dignity, so they absolutely have to keep their granddaughter-in-law.

Otherwise, who will take care of the great-grandson who is crying for milk, and who will clean up the excrement and urine of the half-dead daughter-in-law?

Old Qiao was furious. He had just smashed two bowls when Old Lady Qin yelled at the top of her lungs, "Murder! Murder!"

The neighbors came out to help: "Brother, no matter what, they've already given the bride price. You can't go back on your word just because Youbin is sick!"

"It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering. It's not like your daughter married a virgin!"

"Hey, how could you curse my daughter? Are you asking for a beating?"

"Come on, fight!"

War was imminent, but was dissuaded by those who were more rational.

"Hey, Qin family in-laws, let's both calm down. Tell me, this is such an unfortunate coincidence."

The young wife had just married into the family when Xiao Qin got into trouble. To put it bluntly, your daughter is indeed having a run of bad luck.

Besides, they were making such a racket last night that you could hear them from three blocks away.

It's wrong of Xiao Qin to mess around, but your daughter might have already been infected. If you take her home, who can she marry?

"Are you going to support her for the rest of her life?"

One sentence silenced the two brothers.

They can make decisions for Qiao Zhenzhen, but they can't truly support her for life.

Not to mention that they had some savings before, they were still struggling to make ends meet.

Now that their possessions have been stolen, they're even less likely to cause trouble for themselves.

Old Mrs. Qin pressed her advantage: "How about this, I'll give you an extra hundred yuan, consider it a buyout of this granddaughter-in-law. Just don't come causing trouble again!"

The two brothers exchanged a glance and raised the amount to two hundred: "Grandma, think it over. If it's okay, let's sign an agreement."

Otherwise, we'll make a scene three times a day, and see if you can handle it!

After a moment's hesitation, Old Lady Qin agreed to the Qiao brothers' request.

He walked unsteadily to the shack, and came out a moment later, handing the money to Old Man Qiao.

They even had someone write a written agreement, which was signed and fingerprinted by both parties, with neighbors as witnesses.

The two brothers arrived in a menacing manner and left in a hurry. Once outside the commune, they split the money, one hundred coins each, on the spot.

Qiao Zhenzhen was still waiting for news at home when, unexpectedly, she was sent back to the Qin family by her two uncles that very night.

The old lady tried to stop him, but she had a broken ankle and couldn't even leave the room, so how could she stop her son, who was as hard as iron?

The two daughters-in-law tried to comfort her, saying, "Mother, we have no choice. We're running out of food. If she stays, we'll have to take it from your mouth."

Besides, none of us know whether Zhenzhen has contracted the disease.

What if, I mean what if, she gets a sexually transmitted disease? What are we, the younger generation, supposed to do?

Jia Cai is about to get married, but because of his uncle, no girl is interested in him.

If this gets infected with genital warts, how are we, the second wife, supposed to survive?!

The old lady was speechless, then heard her fourth son's wife continue: "Mother, did our family really lose several thousand?"

Grandma Qiao's eyes flickered: "No!"

The fourth son's wife chuckled: "That's what I was just saying. If Mother had so much money, why didn't she buy a job for the fourth son back then!"

Actually, he hated it to death inside.

"You old hag, you've got what you deserve for clinging to money like that!"

As she left, she said, "This injury takes a hundred days to heal; Mother, you must take good care of yourself."

Seeing that her sister-in-law had left, the second son's wife also got up: "Mother, rest. I'll go check if the wild vegetable porridge is ready."

These awful days, when will they ever end?

Seeing her two daughters-in-law leave, Grandma Qiao took Liu Kangkang's hand and stroked it, saying, "My dear grandson, my dear grandson, only you are truly sincere to your grandmother."

Liu Kangkang curled his lip and said, "Grandma, I'll go out and check if the clothes are dry."

"Okay, go ahead, and remember to make medicine for Grandma."

Liu Kangkang paused, then left without looking back.

The night sky was filled with twinkling stars. After listening to Chen Zefeng's gossip, Qiao Manman went back to her room and entered her spatial dimension.

The strawberry seeds in the space have already sprouted green tips.

The wheat grains planted in ordinary soil showed no signs of life.

Qiao Manman was not in a hurry and continued to cut wheat with a sickle.

After working hard for half the night, they had only managed to harvest one row of crops.

But she didn't give up, nor did she complain at all.

The space seemed to possess some kind of magic, continuously replenishing its energy.

By midnight, her back and legs were no longer sore, and she felt incredibly energetic.

Qiao Manman picked up the scissors, put on gloves, and peeled the wheat grains.

Then go out and rest.

When the sun is high in the sky, spread a waterproof cloth in the yard, spread out the wheat grains, and expose them to the sun.

Those straw stalks and such, after being crushed, are buried in the vegetable garden.

I don't know if it was just my imagination, but a few hours later, the vegetable leaves were shiny and vibrant green.
