Chapter 12 I gave you a chance, but you are useless
She always thought her daughter had accidentally fallen, and when she woke up, she didn't mention that someone had hurt her.
These past two days, she'd been so overjoyed that her daughter was better that she hadn't asked about it. Now, hearing Da Ya say this, it's clear there's more to the story. And who that story points to is obvious.
Lin Cuicui was both excited and furious. She grabbed Qiao Jingjing's hand and roared at the crowd:
"It's one thing for you to dislike me, Da Ya, but I really didn't expect that living under the same roof and being so similar in character could be so vicious. You're plotting to kill me."
"Come on, Daya, let me take you to the authorities. We'll kneel down and beg the upright and just official to give us justice!" After saying that, she pulled Qiao Jingjing and started walking outside.
Qiao Wanjun stopped the mother and daughter, saying in an unhappy tone, "What are you making a scene about? We haven't even figured things out yet. What kind of behavior is this, acting so brazenly?"
Lin Cuicui was so angry she laughed. She had long since given up hope on him, so this time she was just angry, not sad. He was always like this, and she was used to it.
Qiao Lanlan was already terrified by Lin Cuicui's angry shouts, and she became even more panicked and fearful when she heard that the authorities had been notified.
She instinctively grabbed her mother's arm, her face already pale, trembling as she hid behind Huang.
Seeing her daughter's state, Madam Huang knew without a doubt that she was the one who did it. She couldn't help but blame her daughter for not doing things more neatly and avoiding future troubles.
"Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense. I think Da Ya is just saying this because she harbors resentment towards us. What evidence do you have that we caused this?" She said this, but her tone betrayed a panic that even she could hear.
"Second Aunt, why are you in such a hurry? My mother didn't say it was you. I certainly have the evidence. I don't need to explain the principle of 'if you don't want others to know, don't do it in the first place,' do I?"
But I'm mindful that we all share the surname Qiao, and I don't want to escalate things. After all, if things get out of hand, you'll all be implicated. Sigh, every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor. Don't you think so, Second Uncle?"
The idea of collective punishment was made up by her; she'd only been there two days, how could she know such specific laws? But scaring her a little wouldn't hurt.
Qiao Zhengguo couldn't sit still any longer, but he didn't speak. He gave his wife, Xu, a look, signaling her to come over.
Madam Xu was also taken aback by the clever eldest daughter, but years of favoritism and prejudice had made her habitually protect the second branch of the family.
"Alright! Shut up, all of you! It's just kids playing around. I think it's your playfulness that caused this mess. Da Ya, since you're alright, be more sensible from now on and don't always hold grudges against your younger siblings."
Madam Huang quickly chimed in, "Mother is right, we'll all listen to you." Lin Cuicui objected.
Their daughter almost lost her life, and they think they can just brush it off so easily? That won't do!
At the same time, the idea of separating the family was strengthened once again in my mind.
Qiao Jingjing knew her mother was going to stand up for her, so she grabbed her and patted the back of her hand.
She then looked at Qiao Wanjun: "What about you? Is that what you think too? Even if I produce evidence that someone framed me, will you still think the same way as Grandma?"
You're Shi Ming's father, so I have to give you a chance. Actually, deep down, I'm screaming, "Please don't change! Just stay the way you are, and let Mom and my little brother see you for who you really are."
Qiao Wanjun was inexplicably angered by her nonchalant questioning attitude, and then he thought about how she had intentionally or unintentionally ignored him these past two days.
He said angrily, "I'm your father! What kind of attitude is this? Are you questioning your father?!"
Okay, any argument that escalates to a matter of attitude is beyond words.
As a father, instead of standing up for his child, he shifted the topic and blamed his daughter. See, I gave you a chance, but you were useless.
Qiao Jingjing didn't want to break off relations yet because they hadn't separated their households, and she needed to be patient this time.
Making them think they have something on her and thus be wary of her is a good idea.
So she smiled slightly and said to Madam Xu in a slow and unhurried manner, "Grandma is right, I understand. But I'm afraid this injury won't heal for a while, so I'll leave the housework to Second Aunt and my two younger sisters. Oh, Mother, please help me up, I'm so dizzy."
Just before she was about to fall, she gave Lin Cuicui a look. Lin Cuicui understood instantly, caught her daughter, and choked back tears:
"Justice resides in the hearts of the people. If that's what you want to say, I won't argue. But Daya is badly injured, and besides, she's uncomfortable with some people around. Why don't you take the food and go back inside to eat?"
Then, without waiting for Xu to speak, she helped Qiao Jingjing up with one hand, grabbed a bowl with the other, reached for two cornbread buns, and the mother and daughter walked away in a pretentious manner.
Xu Shi had her anger simmering, so she glared at her second daughter-in-law and Qiao Erya, then turned to her eldest son and yelled, "Keep an eye on your wife! You two are going to drive me crazy one of these days!"
Back in their room, the mother and daughter exchanged a smile. Although they hadn't punished anyone, they felt a sense of satisfaction. In the past, they hadn't received any steamed buns.
Qiao Jingjing didn't feel relieved at all; she just felt infuriated. What kind of life did the original owner of this body lead?
But Lin Cuicui didn't see it that way. She had never seen this mean-spirited mother-in-law suffer a setback in front of her, so she felt a little relieved, but not much. After all, it was just a few words and two steamed buns.
"Da Ya, do you really have any evidence? Why did you stop your mother from getting justice for you just now?" Lin Cuicui voiced the question that had been on her mind for a long time.
Qiao Jingjing shrugged and replied, "What evidence? I was just bluffing them. Who knew they'd give themselves away? But someone did push me from behind, and my head hit a rock."
Before I lost consciousness, I vaguely saw a figure that resembled Qiao Er Ya's build, so I guessed it was her. This is just confirmation.
Lin Cuicui felt heartbroken and burst into tears. "It's all my fault for not protecting you. How could Er Ya be so vicious at such a young age?"
"Only she knows the specific reason. Huang Xinghua's three children were born wrong. Mother, don't blame yourself. It was an accident, and it can't be blamed on you no matter what. Don't take the burden on yourself."
Let's discuss dividing the family property. Once we cut off contact with them and stop putting up with their mistreatment every day, every day will be a good day.
Lin Cuicui rallied herself, "That's right, Mother was being too attached. The one who did wrong was someone else, Mother shouldn't blame herself. You said you had a solution before, tell Mother quickly."
Qiao Jingjing smiled teasingly, "Mom, aren't you hungry?" Lin Cuicui slapped her thigh and said, "Eat, eat quickly, or someone will come and snatch it away."
It might not be an adult, but what if they send a child to deliberately cause a scene?
Lin took out the cornbread and used a bowl to scoop out a bowl of water. While Lin wasn't looking, Qiao Jingjing replaced the water in the bowl with well water, intending to subtly improve her mother's life.
Health is the foundation of all revolutions.
