Chapter 180 My Mother Qi Cao (2)
Ershun and Xifeng quarreled at home all day long. Whenever Ershun thought of the matter between Xifeng and Niu Er, he would beat and scold Xifeng. On this day, when no one happened to be at home, Ershun beat and scolded Xifeng again.
At this time, Niu Er came to their house with a shovel. Niu Er's purpose was to seek revenge on Qi Baicao, but he didn't expect to run into this scene. Er Shun saw that Niu Er was furious, so he rushed up while yelling and cursing, and then wrestled with Niu Er.
Xifeng looked at the two of them, feeling a little overwhelmed, but Niu Er was also furious and asked Xifeng to hand him the shovel. Xifeng thought of how Ershun had beaten and scolded her in recent days, and she became more and more angry. As the shovel fell heavily, Ershun's body fell down limply.
When the blood dyed the ground red, Niu Er's mind finally came to his senses. He hurriedly pulled Xifeng, who was standing there in a daze, away. Ershun fell unconscious in a pool of blood.
When the old lady returned home, Ershun had stopped breathing. The old lady held her son's body and wailed. This was the scene that Baicao saw when she brought Xiaohao home.
"Mom! What's going on? Send Ershun to the hospital quickly!" Baicao wanted to help Ershun up.
"No need, Ershun is gone." The old lady's tears had dried.
Baicao subconsciously wanted to call the police, but Shiyi left even faster. Baicao looked at the sad old lady and didn't know what to say to comfort her.
"It must be Xifeng, she was the one who killed my son!" The hatred in the old lady's eyes was shocking. Baicao wanted to say that it was not necessarily the case, but she also felt that the old lady's suspicion was not unreasonable.
Shiyi, who came back, did not feel any sympathy at all. As early as when the affair between Xifeng and Niu Er was exposed, Baicao had advised the two to divorce. However, Ershun, for the sake of his so-called dignity, insisted on keeping Xifeng and beating and scolding her to vent his anger, which led to the current disaster.
The police arrived quickly, and through the scene and everyone's statements, they identified the suspects and arrested two people. Lai Shun also rushed back from the city to hold a funeral for his brother Er Shun.
Xifeng and Niu Er were arrested a few days later. They admitted their family's crimes on the spot. Niu Er generously admitted that he was the one who did it and Xifeng was only an accomplice.
In this way, Niu Er was sentenced to life imprisonment, and Xifeng was sentenced to twenty years in prison. Both were thrown into prison and became the center of gossip among the villagers.
At Ershun's funeral, everyone helped as needed and chatted as needed. It was at this time that Dalong learned the real cause of his father's death - Xifeng and her adulterer conspired to kill Ershun.
Dalong's worldview collapsed in an instant, and his young heart was severely traumatized. Looking at Baicao who was busy running in and out, he blamed all the mistakes on Baicao, and recalled the words of the villagers and cursed Baicao.
"You are a jinx who killed my father. If it weren't for you, how could my father have gotten into trouble and my mother have gone to jail?"
Looking at the naughty kid Dalong, Shiyi's hands itched, so he went up and slapped Dalong: "How dare you talk to my mother like that?"
The old lady stepped forward to protect Dalong: "Xiaohao, don't blame Dalong. His father just died, it's normal for him to say some angry words. Just forgive him."
Shi Yi did not forgive Da Long, and even Qi Baicao did not forgive Da Long. It was just that because there were so many people around, they did not continue to cause trouble. The two of them turned around and went into the house.
But in the many days that followed, Dalong always cursed Qi Baicao as a jinx. Even if he didn't curse her to her face, he would say it everywhere, at school and at home. After a long time, the old lady's eyes changed.
That day, Dalong started talking about this matter again while eating: "It was Auntie who said that my mother kissed another man and that was why my father died. Auntie is a jinx. I don't want to eat the food she cooked."
As usual, Shiyi went up and slapped Dalong, then was about to pick up the bowl to eat, but this time, the old lady, contrary to her usual behavior, protected Dalong and was about to hit Shiyi.
Fortunately, Qi Baicao reacted quickly and pulled Shiyi over. Lai Shun also said in disbelief: "Mom, how could you hit Xiaohao?"
"Then why did he attack our Baron?"
"Dalong said something wrong, he should be taught a lesson"
"What's wrong with what Dalong said? If Tian Xiaocao hadn't been so talkative, how could Ershun and his wife have quarreled? How could Ershun be like this? It's all Tian Xiaocao's fault. She is a jinx." The old lady looked at Qi Baicao and even Shiyi with resentment.
"My second uncle was murdered by my second aunt and her adulterer. What does that have to do with my mother?"
The old lady turned a deaf ear to them and was only concerned about protecting Dalong. She glared at Qi Baicao and Shiyi viciously. Dalong smiled triumphantly at Shiyi, and Lai Shun was helplessly caught between his wife, children, and mother.
"In that case, then I will divorce Lai Shun." Qi Baicao held the bowl, unaware that she had said something earth-shattering: "I will take Xiaohao away to avoid being resented by you."
"Xiao Cao! This matter has nothing to do with you, why are you like this?" Lai Shun was anxious: "Besides, how are you going to live without me?"
"It's okay that mother hates me, but she can't even tolerate Xiaohao. What are we doing staying in this family? Let's get a divorce. It's good for everyone. Besides, I can live a good life without you." Qi Baicao had no expression on her face, but she was very happy in her heart. She could finally file for a divorce reasonably. God knows how long she had been waiting for this opportunity.
Lai Shun certainly did not agree to divorce. Dalong saw hope of driving Qi Baicao and Shiyi away, so he made trouble at home every day and insulted Qi Baicao. The old lady protected Dalong, and Lai Shun was exhausted.
Dalong even spread rumors in the school and wanted to bully Shiyi. He brought a few children who were bribed by him to teach Shiyi a lesson, but they soon went back crying.
Shiyi was able to break down the kids' defenses with just a few words, which were nothing more than some topics related to study. In the end, Dalong was the only one left standing in front of Shiyi.
Dalong was so angry that he picked up a book and was about to hit Shiyi. Shiyi ran away, shouting, "Murder! The son of a murderer is going to kill someone!"
Isn't it just spreading rumors and making trouble? Shiyi can do that, and this is a fatal blow to Dalong. He made a scene in front of the teacher. The teacher got a headache when he saw the two of them and called their parents.
With Shiyi's exaggeration, Dalong was ordered to go home and reflect for a week. Laishun remained silent, and Qi Baicao forced out a few tears: "Let's get a divorce. If we continue like this, what will happen to my Xiaohao?"
Lai Shun nodded silently, and the two of them quickly took their documents to the Civil Affairs Bureau to handle their divorce. Qi Baicao suddenly felt the air was sweet, but she had forgotten about the original owner's gambling father.
Qi Baicao came to the city with the money she earned from reselling medicinal herbs. She rented a shop here to do breakfast business, which was also a place to stay. Shiyi successfully transferred to a school in the city with excellent grades and a letter of recommendation from her teacher.
When everything was going well, Tian Xiaocao's father came to him and said, "Xiaocao, what's wrong with you? Why did you divorce Lai Shun? Did he treat you badly? Tell me and I'll go and settle the score with him."
"Dad?" Qi Baicao felt a little unfamiliar. It was the first time she saw the original owner's father since she came to this world. Looking at him, she wanted to cry. She had never felt fatherly love before.
Seeing Qi Baicao crying, Father Tian became more compassionate and patiently comforted Qi Baicao. Shi Yi took the opportunity to stuff the pill into her mouth.
It's not a loyalty pill, nor a puppet pill, but a potion from the magical world - a makeover drink. Although I don't know if it will work, I have to try it anyway.
But no one expected that this attempt would create a future gambling king. Of course, this is a story for later. At this moment, Tian's father just felt itchy and rushed to the casino after comforting Qi Baicao, and then won a lot of money.
Qi Baicao took the money given to him by Tian's father, and his eyes couldn't help but become moist. Tian's father was still talking: "Your brother got lost when he was a child. Now that Dad has made money, one is to spend it on you, and the other is to find your brother."
"Dad, I don't want this money. I have money. You can use it to ask my brother." Qi Baicao wanted to refuse, but the other party did not give her the chance.
"It's easy for me to make money. Besides, you are my daughter, and I will definitely spend the money I earn on you." Tian's father refused the money that Qi Baicao stuffed back and turned around to leave again.
His only thought now is to find his son and then make a big fortune. He heard that Macau is a holy land for gamblers like them, and he has considered whether he should develop there in the future. With his skills, it will not be a problem for him to make a fortune.
The transformation potion not only brought about a change in Tian's father's thinking, but also gave him superb gambling skills. He even improved his physical fitness and learned some martial arts, which was something Shi Yi never expected.
He only saw that Tian's father was good to his daughter and worked hard to make money to find his son, and he felt very relieved.
Tian's father became rich, and with the help of his wealth, he soon found the trace of Tian Xiaocao's younger brother Xiaowang. Xiaowang had been adopted and had his name changed, but facing Tian's father, Xiaowang still longed to return home but could not let go of his adoptive parents.
The adoptive parents did not want to embarrass their child, so they discussed with Tian's father whether the child should stay or not. Unexpectedly, Tian's father was very tolerant and said, "After all, he is my Tian family's child, so why not change his name back so that he and his sister can help each other in the future. I often have to go out to work now, so the child can stay in your household registration."
When Xiaowang's adoptive parents heard this, they thought it was a good idea. When they learned that Tian Xiaocao was divorced and living alone in the city with her son, they immediately expressed that they would take good care of them.
The two families met specially. The thirteen-year-old Xiaowang looked at the seven-year-old Shiyi and was very happy: "Will I have a younger brother to play with me in the future?"
"He's not your brother, he's your nephew. Xiaohao should call you uncle." Qi Baicao held the hands of the two children and explained in a gentle voice that she hadn't practiced her Taekwondo for a long time.
Xiaohao's adoptive parents wanted the two families to get closer, so they often brought Xiaowang to Xiaocao. Over time, Xiaowang became Shiyi's good friend. Although they were not in the same grade, they always went to school together.
With his gambling skills, Tian's father got to know people with connections and successfully came to Macau. For a long time, he could only send letters to Qi Baicao and Tian Xiaowang from time to time to prove that he was still alive.
Qi Baicaofa's breakfast shop was doing very well, and he even hired two people to help out. However, it was inevitable that others would envy him, and soon he ran into trouble.
"When did you open this shop? Are all the documents complete?" Facing the inquiries of relevant personnel, Qi Baicao took out the relevant documents that he had already processed.
After making sure there were no problems, several people left. However, in the following few days, there were people coming to inspect from time to time, causing the shop's business to slow down. Qi Baicao fired the two handymen with a sad face.
"Wow, Master, I miss you so much. Now that I can't practice Taekwondo, can I even maintain my life?" Qi Baicao hid in the room and cried silently.
Shi Yi who was outside the door felt a little bit reluctant when he heard this. After all, it was his mistake that dragged the other person into this world, and he couldn't just let the other person suffer like this.
Soon, Shiyi came up with a good idea. There are more opportunities in big cities. The country is in need of talents right now. Geniuses may be buried in the countryside, but this is a big city.
"You are Xiaohao's parent, right? I am Xiaohao's teacher. Our province now has a plan for a junior class. Are you willing to send Xiaohao there?" The person who came to see Qi Baicao was Shiyi's teacher. His surname was Li and he was the son of a high-ranking official.
Shiyi contacted this teacher on purpose, and after a while, the other party discovered the genius that Shiyi had deliberately shown. Thinking of the people he had contacted at home, the teacher had an idea.
After several contacts with Shiyi, the teacher invited Xiaohao to his home. After professional testing, the other party believed that Shiyi was a high-IQ talent, and he wanted to use his family connections to send Shiyi to the provincial junior class.
Firstly, it is to train talents for the country, which is also a consideration for the country. Secondly, when it comes to buying good things for Shiyi, it is also his selfish desire, so he came to find Qi Baicao today.
Qi Baicao certainly understood what the other party was talking about the junior class. After all, there was such an institution in Anyang that trained talents for the World Championships, and he had dreamed of joining it. Thinking of this, Qi Baicao couldn't help but be dazed.
"Xiaohao's mother?" Teacher Li called in a low voice. Qi Baicao came back to her senses and heard Teacher Li say, "I'm not a liar. I can take you to the school to prove my identity as a teacher."
Qi Baicao wanted to refuse, but when she thought about going to school, she nodded. She had been away from school for a long time and had been in this world for more than a year.
Teacher Li brought Qi Baicao to the school and proved his identity as a teacher through other teachers and the principal. Qi Baicao also agreed to let Shi Yi study in the junior class.
“But Xiaohao will go to school in another city by then. Xiaohao’s mother, if it is convenient for you, it would be best for you to stay with the child. After all, the child is still too young,” Teacher Li suggested reasonably.
Qi Baicao nodded and agreed with Teacher Li's statement. Anyway, her breakfast shop had been harassed to the point where it could no longer operate. Instead of living in fear here, it would be better to leave with Xiaohao.
