Back to the 80s: A Pampered Marriage
"What am I supposed to do? I don't have such a disgraceful daughter! She might as well die outside and never come back home! Otherwise, just watch me beat her to death!" For so many years, Qi Erzhu had undoubtedly been very indulgent and permissive towards his two daughters.
On ordinary days, Cheng Fangfang spoiled both daughters at home, and Qi Erzhu had never once said anything against it.
Qi Tingting and Qi Juanjuan hardly did any work, and even now that they weren't in school, they still slacked off at home. Qi Erzhu had never scolded them even once.
However, this did not mean that Qi Erzhu could endlessly tolerate Qi Tingting and Qi Juanjuan's mischief and capriciousness, especially when it came to hurting others.
Qi Tingting wanted to marry Tao Tao, and no matter how she pursued him, Qi Erzhu would not oppose it. But Qi Tingting actually hired thugs to confront Qian Yue and caused her to lose the child she was carrying, which attracted the police...
This was beyond what Qi Erzhu could tolerate. After all, he was just an ordinary citizen. He had never harbored ambitions of making a name for himself or any plans to make something of himself outside. In his own definition and plan, he intended to spend his life in Willow Leaf Village, tending to his few acres of land, which was enough for him.
Besides, he didn't have a son, so he didn't need to worry about preparing a bride price for a son or building a new house for a daughter-in-law.
Now that Qi Tingting and Qi Juanjuan were grown up, even if he sat at home doing nothing, he could still wait for someone to come proposing with a bride price.
Once both daughters were married off, he would be even more relaxed and carefree.
If Qi Tingting and Qi Juanjuan married well enough, he could bask in their glory, and life would surely be more comfortable and carefree...
No matter how he thought about it, it was a pleasant experience and enjoyment; Qi Erzhu had already dreamed of the wonderful days that were beckoning him.
But what was the outcome?
Qi Erzhu could never have imagined that Qi Tingting would do something so hurtful.
Thinking about how the police would soon come knocking on their door, and how their entire family would become the biggest joke in the village, Qi Erzhu felt utterly defeated.
So embarrassing! So humiliating! What sins had he committed in his past life to end up with such a troublesome person in this life...
The more he thought about it, the worse he felt. Qi Erzhu shot a few fierce glares at Qi Tingting and Cheng Fangfang before turning around and heading home.
If he couldn't control it, then why bother?
At that moment, Qi Erzhu's family of four was not far from their own front door. Seeing Qi Erzhu walk away without looking back and shut the door behind him, Cheng Fangfang couldn't help but feel a strong sense of foreboding.
Qi Juanjuan fully supported Qi Erzhu's choice and actions at this moment.
It was time to show Qi Tingting what consequences looked like, to see if she would dare to be so arrogant and reckless again, even going so far as to hire thugs to confront others. Qi Tingting's thoughts were truly dark!
After all, Qian Yue's baby was also a life, and it had just been lost like that?
No matter how capable Qi Juanjuan was, she wouldn't dare to joke about someone's life. Right now, she felt a chill in her heart regarding Qi Tingting's actions.
She always felt that she had never truly recognized Qi Tingting's true nature. Qi Tingting was far colder and more ruthless than she had imagined. She was completely heartless and unforgivable!
If it were her who had been harmed by Qi Tingting like this, she would absolutely never forgive her.
As for Qi Tingting wanting to go to Uncle's house to seek help from Qi Zheng and Zhao Jin, Qi Juanjuan merely curled her lips in disdain, not taking it seriously at all.
She didn't believe that Qi Zheng and Zhao Jin would help Qi Tingting. Back then, they didn't even agree to help Qi Tingting marry Tao Tao. How could it be that now, after Qi Tingting had done something so terrible, Qi Zheng and Zhao Jin would turn around and help her?
It was simply impossible! Qi Zheng and Zhao Jin were not that kind-hearted, and they wouldn't let Qi Tingting have her way.
Pouting, Qi Juanjuan continued to stand aside, not following Qi Erzhu to leave.
She was waiting to see the show. It was indeed rare and quite amusing to see Qi Tingting looking so helpless and panicked at this moment!
Without Qi Erzhu as her support, Cheng Fangfang could only step up herself.
No matter what, she couldn't just watch as Qi Tingting was taken away to prison. That was her bottom line; she couldn't allow it.
“Mom, please save me, save me…” Qi Tingting didn't expect Qi Erzhu to stand by her side.
The only one in their family who could truly help her was Cheng Fangfang. Cheng Fangfang had always been their family's main source of strength. Even without Qi Erzhu around, Cheng Fangfang would definitely be able to save her.
Cheng Fangfang felt helpless, but…
Sighing deeply, Cheng Fangfang grabbed Qi Tingting's wrist: “Let’s go find your Uncle.”
No matter what, she couldn't just watch as Qi Tingting was taken away to prison like this. As Qi Tingting's biological mother, she naturally couldn't withstand such a sudden change and blow.
Even if there was still a chance for Qi Tingting, no matter how slim it might be, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, Cheng Fangfang would definitely not stand by and do nothing.
She wasn't like Qi Erzhu; she didn't have such a hard heart that she could disregard her own daughter's life or death…
As for the present moment, Cheng Fangfang furrowed her brows and began to calculate in her mind.
It was clear that simply finding Qi Zheng and Zhao Jin would not resolve the issue. It seemed necessary to start with Qi Dayong, Grandma Qi, and Zhou Ju if there was any hope of success.
Otherwise, given Qi Zheng and Zhao Jin's personalities, they would likely continue to treat them coldly, completely indifferent to their family's well-being.
With these thoughts in mind, Cheng Fangfang pulled Qi Tingting along as they walked ahead.
Qi Juanjuan simply wanted to join in the fun. Seeing her mother really dragging Qi Tingting to find Qi Zheng and Zhao Jin, she immediately followed.
After all, there was nothing much to do at home right now, so it was better to go along and see how Qi Tingting would embarrass herself!
Unlike the noise outside, the atmosphere inside the Qi Zheng Family was indeed quiet and peaceful.
With two pregnant women in the house, it was certainly not suitable for them to be disturbed. Even the sounds of Qi Zheng and the others working with wood were subconsciously softened.
However, this tranquility was broken by the arrival of Cheng Fangfang and Qi Tingting.
Pushing open the half-closed door of the Qi Zheng Family, Cheng Fangfang immediately started wailing: "Mom, Brother-in-law! Help! Quickly save our poor Tingting! Please!"
This kind of display from Cheng Fangfang was a first in history. Especially since her tears were genuine, it immediately aroused suspicion from Grandma Qi and the others.
"What is this all about? Stop making noise and be quiet." To be honest, as soon as Grandma Qi saw Cheng Fangfang and her daughters, she felt a headache coming on.
Hearing Cheng Fangfang continuously shouting for help only made her feel more irritated.
I’m afraid something really serious has happened. Otherwise, Cheng Fangfang wouldn’t be crying so hard.
With a sigh, Grandma Qi truly felt no affection for Cheng Fangfang's family anymore.
As for other matters, Cheng Fangfang would definitely beat around the bush and might even try to mislead Grandma Qi. But regarding this incident, Cheng Fangfang didn’t dare to hide anything and laid it all out in detail.
Of course, in Cheng Fangfang's words, Qi Tingting was completely innocent. Qi Tingting just liked Tao Tao too much and was too jealous of Qian Yue, which led her to gather a few friends to confront Qian Yue. As a result, an argument broke out. Qian Yue, with her fiery temperament, completely disregarded her pregnant condition and ended up falling. This caused her to lose her child.
Indeed, Cheng Fangfang was very detailed. However, her details were completely misleading and intentionally confused the truth, placing all the blame on Qian Yue.
Grandma Qi and the others were not easily fooled. They had a thorough understanding of Cheng Fangfang and her daughter. Upon hearing Cheng Fangfang's account, they immediately filtered through it in their minds and arrived at the real answer.
"What? Qian Yue lost her baby?" Zhao Jin initially didn’t intend to get involved. This wasn’t the first time Cheng Fangfang and her daughters had caused a scene at home; Zhao Jin planned to ignore them entirely.
However, after hearing Cheng Fangfang's words, Zhao Jin opened the door and stepped out.
Zhao Jin walked quickly, startling both Grandma Qi and Zhou Ju. The two hurriedly approached from either side to support Zhao Jin.
She was pregnant! She couldn’t make such sudden movements; she needed to be careful!
But Zhao Jin was so angry that she couldn’t care less about her own child. Grandma Qi and Zhou Ju were also filled with rage.
What on earth was Qi Tingting thinking? How could she do something so harmful and reckless without fearing retribution?
Meanwhile, Qi Zheng quickly approached Zhao Jin, wrapping an arm around her in a clear gesture of comfort.
Zhao Jin knew she couldn't afford to lose her temper right now. However, Qi Tingting's actions were utterly inhumane! Qian Yue was expecting her first child, and the entire Tao Family was looking forward to this baby!
Yet, because of Qi Tingting's cruelty, a life had been lost, and so many people's hopes and expectations had been shattered. Qi Tingting... was simply unforgivable.
"I'm not doing it on purpose," Qi Tingting said, feeling guilty under Zhao Jin's fierce glare.
However, she refused to back down. After avoiding Zhao Jin's gaze, she continued to defend herself. "You still have the nerve to make excuses? Qi Tingting, what are you really plotting? Even if you don't have bad intentions, we all know the truth. But how could you harm others and take a life? You're also from the Maternal Family; don't you plan to have children in the future? You..." Zhao Jin was truly furious. Halfway through her accusations and questions, she was so enraged that she couldn't utter another word.
Qi Tingting didn't realize that Zhao Jin was at a loss for words due to her anger. Instead, she thought Zhao Jin had fallen silent out of guilt for not marrying her off to Tao Tao sooner. This gave Qi Tingting an unwarranted sense of confidence. Thus, with everyone watching her closely, she defiantly raised her chin and complained to Zhao Jin: "Isn't this all your fault? If you had helped me marry Tao Tao back then, none of this would have happened! Now I'm facing imprisonment because of you all. I don't care; you must help me! I refuse to be locked up!"
Hearing Qi Tingting still acting so high and mighty infuriated Zhao Jin to the point of laughter: "Yes, it's all our fault. We were just trying to prevent you from marrying Tao Tao to save the entire Tao Family's future. But we forgot how ruthless you are at such a young age, willing to harm even an unborn child in Qian Yue's womb. Qi Tingting, let me tell you, you deserve to be locked away for life! You should spend your entire life in prison!"
Zhao Jin's words were so resolute and her tone so fierce that she showed no mercy towards Qi Tingting, her imposing presence striking fear into those around them.
As a result, Qi Tingting's face turned pale from the blow, and she opened her mouth but couldn't utter a single word.
In the end, Qi Tingting felt guilty deep down.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be unable to refute Zhao Jin's accusations.
She is not the type to quietly endure grievances, especially since Zhao Jin's words were sharp and directly left her feeling dizzy and shaken. "Jin..." Compared to Qi Tingting, who wanted to argue with Zhao Jin, Cheng Fangfang was genuinely humble and excessively flattering, "Let's not mention the past, okay? This time, our Tingting really didn't mean it. It was all an accident, a coincidence. Our Tingting didn't really want to harm Qian Yue's baby, really."
"Whether it's true or false, the fact is that Qian Yue's baby has been lost because of you." Not wanting to say much more to Cheng Fangfang and Qi Tingting, Zhao Jin directly grabbed Qi Zheng's arm, "Let's go to the county now and see how Qian Yue is doing."
Zhao Jin's heart was in turmoil at this moment.
That was a living life! How could Qi Tingting be so cruel? She didn't even know if Qian Yue was okay now. And Tao Tao and the other members of the Tao Family, they were probably...
Frowning, Zhao Jin felt complete disgust for Qi Tingting and didn't want to say another word to her.
"Okay." Qi Zheng also ignored Qi Tingting and Cheng Fangfang, directly leading Zhao Jin out the door.
"Qi Zheng, we should go too. We need to apologize to the Tao Family..." Seizing this good opportunity, Cheng Fangfang desperately wanted to make an impression and hurriedly pulled Qi Tingting along to seek attention.
After all, with Qi Zheng and Zhao Jin leading the way, they would surely benefit somewhat. Perhaps with Qi Zheng and Zhao Jin's presence, the Tao Family wouldn't hold it against them? They might not pursue their Tingting's mistakes and responsibilities?
Although such thoughts were quite unrealistic, Cheng Fangfang still thought this way without care. Until the last moment, who could guarantee that there wouldn't be other new twists? Perhaps their Tingting was just that lucky?
