Chapter 329: Chapter 333: A Life Tampered With (15)

Su Family

Even though the Su Family had big complaints about Qiao Xiaohong, after they brought her back, Aunt Su sat through two full months of postpartum confinement for her.

Her treatment at home nearly rivaled that of Su Li.

This was virtually unheard of in the countryside.

Rural women, let alone sitting in confinement for two months, many of them would be rushing back to work the very next day after giving birth.

If word got out, everyone would definitely give the Su Family a thumbs-up.

There was no in-law family more generous, no better mother-in-law.

But Qiao Xiaohong still felt unsatisfied.

She harbored a deep grudge about waking up in the hospital again to nothing but her mother-in-law’s cold face.

She disturbed the peace for quite some time after coming back.

But Su Mo would indulge her no more, stating bluntly if she made any more trouble, they would just divorce.

Qiao Xiaohong was scared; such an ugly thing as divorce could not happen to her.

She behaved for a while before quickly reverting to her old ways.

Crying and making a fuss in front of Su Mo.

When Su Li brought in the plain noodles Granny Su had cooked, Qiao Xiaohong—with a handkerchief around her forehead—lay in bed, clutching the corner of her elder brother’s clothes and refusing to let go.

"Su Mo, do you even have a conscience? It’s because of my sister... this matter surely can’t be blamed on my sister..."

"Please send some money to Xiaoxiao. You know how my parents are, they definitely won’t care about Xiaoxiao."

As soon as Qiao Xiaohong saw Su Li, her voice grew louder, "Su Li is your sister, you treat her so well. How come you become so heartless when it comes to my sister..."

Su Li was so annoyed she had to laugh; her sister-in-law never forgot to drag her into everything.

She no longer intended to hand over the bowl of plain noodles to Qiao Xiaohong.

Standing there with the bowl, she quickly stuffed the noodles into her mouth with her chopsticks.

Despite her speed, her eating was still extremely graceful, a pleasing sight to behold.

Before Qiao Xiaohong could react, the plain noodles prepared for her had already gone down Su Li’s stomach.

After eating, she wiped her mouth, and Su Li wasn’t done yet, with a pursed of her red lips, "Sister-in-law, if you think the Su Family doesn’t treat you well, then go back to the Qiao Family."

"Although the Su Family’s life is slightly better than the average family, we’re certainly not to the point where we must support a daughter-in-law’s family and sisters..."

"It’s just my elder brother’s decency. If it were another man, whose child had been lost because of someone else’s issues, he would have certainly turned that person’s home upside down..."

Qiao Xiaohong knew that Su Li’s words made sense and ground her teeth, not daring to argue back.

After a while, she managed to squeeze out a sentence with a pained expression, "Even so, little sister, you shouldn’t have just eaten your sister-in-law’s noodles..."

"My body is still weak, it’s because you..."

Watching Qiao Xiaohong grit her teeth, Su Mo, fearing she might blurt out something rash that could hurt Li Bao, and besides, he had run out of patience with her long ago.

He immediately took Su Li by the hand and walked her out, "If it’s eaten, it’s eaten. Since your sister-in-law is pining for the Qiao Family, she’s not going to have much appetite anyway. In the future, there’s no need to make anything special for her."

It wasn’t easy for him to save even a fraction of his money, because of how carelessly Qiao Xiaohong spent, he hardly had any savings.

This time, Qiao Xiaohong’s visit to the clinic was paid for by the family.

Qiao Xiaohong opened her mouth to suggest sending money to the Qiao Family – was he out of his mind?

These incidents made it clear, even if the two brothers had no issues, the eldest sister-in-law and younger sister-in-law would definitely feel uncomfortable.

Others might have their complaints against Qiao Xiaohong, but in these times, they still tried their best to be supportive.

However, Su Mo really couldn’t hear a single positive thing about the family coming from Qiao Xiaohong’s mouth.

He realized, his wife might have married into the family, but her heart never did.

In her heart, Su Li clicked her tongue in disapproval, secretly thinking: The sister-in-law might seem clever and capable, but she’s really quite foolish.

"Thump, thump, thump.... Brother-in-law, big sister..."

Qiao Xiaosan rushed into the Su’s house, his face filled with panic again.

Just like what was seen that night.

The Su Family were scared...

What’s with this family, aren’t they ever going to stop?

"Second sister, we’ve started arguing with dad and mom again...wuuu, I’m scared..."

The Su Family: "....."

Su Li: "....." The Qiao Family really are full of energy and good at stirring up trouble.

One scene after another, like a grand opera.

Upon hearing the noise, Qiao Xiaohong herself ran out of her room.

Aunt Su immediately frowned and scolded, "What are you doing out here? You’re not supposed to be exposed to the air; quickly go back inside."

Dissatisfied, Qiao Xiaohong looked at Su Mo and said, "How can I be at ease? That’s my family. Can I just ignore them?"

Qiao Xiaosan shrank his shoulders, a little afraid of his brother-in-law’s cold face, and huddled closer to his eldest sister’s direction.

Su Mo: "You are not allowed to go."

Used to her husband’s previous indulgence, Qiao Xiaohong was fed up with his cold demeanor these past few days.

Her heart’s grievances suddenly ignited at this moment.

She blurted out in an indignant roar, "Why can’t you all stand to see the Qiao Family prosper?"

After speaking, she grabbed Xiaosan’s hand and stumbled outside towards the door.

Yan Nizi and Xu Xiaomiao were both dumbfounded.

Were their sister-in-law an idiot?

Didn’t she realize the problems a woman could face if she didn’t properly observe her confinement after childbirth?

And her brain... had it been eaten by something?

Why would they resent the Qiao Family’s success?

It made no sense, no sense at all.

Oblivious to everything, Qiao Xiaohong ran off. Aunt Su still wanted to chase after her.

But Su Mo stopped her, "Let her go. Her feet are her own and can’t be tied down. It’s better than having her blame us later on."

Granny Su was furious beyond words, "Let her be. She doesn’t recognize kindness."

This time, Qiao Xiaohong’s actions truly caused the Su Family to completely cast her aside.

Qiao Xiaohong still didn’t know that, when she would return, the Su Family’s complete disregard would be what faced her.

-------------

Although the Su Family spoke tough, Su Mo still decided to pay a visit to the Qiao Family after some thought.

But he didn’t allow anyone else to interfere.

Su Li secretly followed behind Su Mo; she was quite interested in what was happening at the Qiao Family’s.

She had never seen anyone live such a poor life after being reborn.

In the original owner’s memories, Qiao Xiaoxiao’s past life may not have been wealthy, but it was certainly comfortable and could not be considered poor.

After rebirth—with a lifetime of extra experience—how did she manage to make a mess of her life?

Indeed, even with rebirth, intelligence didn’t necessarily improve.

Su Li was very discreet. As long as she willed it, Su Mo would absolutely not be aware that he was being tailed.

Su Mo walked with a stern face, heading straight to the Qiao Family without slowing down.

Still a distance from the Qiao Family, he could already hear the shouting, cursing, children’s cries, and the sounds of crashing and smashing from inside.

At the entrance to the Qiao Family’s, several villagers had gathered.

However, no one dared to go in and try to mediate; everyone was craning their necks with great interest, whispering and speculating among themselves.

With the Qiao matriarch’s temperament, who would dare provoke her and unnecessarily stir up trouble?
