Chapter 14 Watching the Fun
After leaving the space, I carried a basket on my back and went down the mountain.
It only contained a few matsutake mushrooms, a handful of shepherd's purse, and a handful of dandelions.
Everything else was stored in my spatial storage. I didn't want to feed them, nor did I want them to know that I could find things, otherwise it would make the division of the family more difficult.
The exposed objects are familiar to everyone, and it wouldn't make sense if I hadn't dug anything out after being out for a while, since there are plenty of things on the mountain.
Halfway up the mountain, they encountered a woman with a small basket slung over her arm. "Isn't this Daya? I heard from your mother that you were injured. Why are you out here?"
Qiao Jingjing replied sweetly, "Oh, it's Aunt Li. How are you, Aunt Li? I've been lying down for a few days and I'm much better now. Although I'm still a little dizzy, I felt really bad not doing any work, so I came out to find some food for the family."
"You have such a sweet tongue, little girl. Since you're not fully healed, you should go back and rest. This head injury is no joke."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Auntie. I was going down the mountain anyway. See you later, Auntie." After saying that, she took a few matsutake mushrooms from her basket and gave them to Aunt Li, who accepted them without hesitation.
She had a good relationship with Lin Cuicui and would occasionally help the two children with some food. She was an upright person and one of the few people in the village who remained kind to Qiao Daya.
After walking for a while, he took out a few more matsutake mushrooms from his spatial storage and put them in his basket. He then smelled himself to make sure there were no flaws before heading home.
Walking into the yard, Shi Ming was playing in the mud with his bottom sticking up, and smoke was billowing from the chimney in the kitchen, someone was cooking. Qiao Jingjing called her younger brother and told him to wash his hands and come over.
She reached into her pocket and took out a few boiled quail eggs for Xiaoming, telling him to hide and eat them. Then she emptied the contents of her basket and washed them.
Within minutes, they heard Shi Ming crying, along with someone else cursing.
Judging from the voice, it was Qiao Shilang from the second wife's side. Qiao Jingjing's anger instantly flared up, and she ran to the courtyard gate, only to see Qiao Shilang snatching a quail egg and stuffing it into his mouth.
Shi Ming sat on the ground, his face covered in tears and snot, and his palms were scraped raw; it was clear he had been pushed to the ground.
She grabbed Qiao Shilang's ear and kicked him in the back of the knee. Qiao Shilang cried out and fell to his knees. When he saw Qiao Jingjing,
He cursed loudly, "You worthless wretch, how dare you hit me! I'm going to tell Grandma you're dead. I'll have Grandma kick you all out! You worthless wretch, you little bitch!"
Several villagers passed by the courtyard gate; everyone has a gossipy nature.
Now that the sun is high in the sky, it's not good to go out and work in the fields. Staying here to watch the fun and relieve boredom is a good idea.
When Qiao Jingjing saw that these people were not leaving, she secretly pinched Qiao Shilang with her hand, while pretending to help him up.
The pinched Qiao Shilang threw another tantrum, rolling on the ground and yelling, "Ah!! You worthless wretch, you wicked woman! You damned bastard!"
Qiao Jingjing pretended to be heartbroken and asked him why he hit his younger brother. Qiao Shilang continued to pretend to cry while pushing all the blame onto Qiao Shiming, saying that he ate bird eggs behind her back and didn't give them to him.
Upon hearing this, the people's gazes toward Qiao Shilang instantly turned one of disgust and contempt.
The Qiao family is truly well-mannered; their son is called a "worthless good-for-nothing" and a "bastard" at the same time. For an eight-year-old to curse like that shows that the adults say it quite often in private.
Qiao Jingjing took out two quail eggs from her pocket and said, feigning sadness, "I accidentally got a few bird eggs when I went into the mountains this morning. I didn't eat them myself and saved them for you. You weren't in the yard when I came back, so I gave them to Shiming first."
These two are yours. You pushed your brother to the ground and cut his hand for two bird eggs, and then you turned around and cursed at me.
Dear uncles, aunts, and grandmas, I'm sorry you had to laugh at me. Please don't take it to heart. My younger brother is still small; I'm sure my second uncle and aunt will take good care of him.
Qiao Jingjing, with her refined and gentle demeanor, delivered a steady performance, expressing both her grievances and the facts of the situation.
Xu heard her eldest grandson crying in the kitchen, so she quickly came out to check.
Upon seeing Qiao Jingjing, he almost reflexively scolded her for bullying Shi Lang. Qiao Shi Lang, seeing that his supporter had arrived, became even more unscrupulous, jumping up to complain while spewing vulgarities.
The villagers watching couldn't stand it anymore. "Hey, Sister Xu, I have to say something. Your son, Lang, is really outrageous. He's so sharp-tongued at such a young age."
Those two grandchildren are your own grandchildren, how could you tolerate him cursing them like that?
Besides, Lang was in the wrong today; he started it. Ming didn't complain even though his hand was broken, but Lang is the one who's acting all aggrieved.
"I never thought you and Brother Qiao were unreasonable people. I wonder who this child took after," she paused, then added meaningfully:
"In families with many children and younger generations, the worst thing is for the head of the household to not treat everyone equally."
The speaker was Grandma Shen, who was also Aunt Li's mother-in-law. Her father-in-law and Xu's father-in-law were cousins.
Of everyone present, she was the only one older than Madam Xu, and she wasn't afraid of offending anyone. She had long been disgusted by the family's favoritism.
It breaks her heart to see such a good child turned out like this. But whether the Qiao family will appreciate her efforts is another matter.
Upon hearing these words, Xu's face turned pale and then red, and her anger burned fiercely within her.
The whispers and pointing fingers around her made her feel extremely uncomfortable and uneasy.
Shen's words were a blatant accusation that she didn't know how to raise children and had poor upbringing. She could only manage a weak smile.
He pretended to be calm and said, "I'll remember what you said, sister-in-law!" Then, he hurriedly led the three children back to his own yard.
When Qiao Shilang saw that his grandmother was not standing up for him after he had been wronged, and that Qiao Jingjing was standing by without saying a word, the spoiled Qiao Shilang once again pointed his finger at Qiao Jingjing and her brother and scolded them.
When Huang returned from outside, she was holding the hand of one of her maids in each hand. Both girls had scratches and handprints on their faces.
I don't know what's wrong with Tingting, she started tearing at Lanlan whenever she saw her, saying, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault."
She was working in the field, while her eldest daughter was hiding from the sun under a small tree by the edge of the field. By the time she came over to break up the fight, it was too late; her face was covered in scratches.
He was so angry he almost fell over backwards. Lan was about to get married, but how could he say anything with his face ruined?
Back in the courtyard, she heard her son crying and throwing a tantrum. The two children from the eldest son's side were there, so she assumed that her child had been bullied and went over to push Qiao Jingjing.
As soon as she let go, San Ya, like a little leopard, rushed at Er Ya and started fighting again. She remembered very clearly that her mother had been kicked by her second sister before they broke up and hadn't retaliated yet.
Looking at the chaotic and noisy scene before her, Xu couldn't help but feel a sense of disgust towards the second wife's family.
She had never felt this way before, but today it surged into her heart so intensely.
Her gaze involuntarily turned to Daya, where she saw a slight smile playing on her lips, as if she didn't care about these things at all.
Then, she turned her gaze to Huang, who was trying to mediate the fight, her eyes filled with sarcasm and mockery.
At this moment, Xu had a strange, inexplicable feeling, as if something was getting further and further away from her.
