When the rest of Wang Family heard this, they couldn't help but gasp.

Wang Xin Sheng and his ex-wife gave birth to a son five years ago.
The ex-wife died of bleeding.
The son was brought back to be raised by the ex-wife's maternal family.
They said that the daughter died within a year after marriage.
If they weren't allowed to carry their grandson back, they would go to the community to report Wang Xin Sheng.

The ex-wife's maternal family had a son before.
Unfortunately he died of illness seven or eight years ago.
After Liu Family suddenly came to the end of the line, they took the child back .
They had changed the child's surname and raised as their direct grandson.
Now they had raised him for five years.
If they snatch the child back later, the other party will definitely fight with Wang Family!

Besides, it wasn't that Wang Yan Sheng can't give birth himself.
It was a bit too much to make him to support his fifth younger brother's son.

Everyone thought that Wang Yan Sheng would definitely refuse.
However, they heard him calmly stated, “Okay, no problem!”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned again.

Was old Third Wang alright?

To actually agree so easily.
This was completely out of character for old Third!

Old Mister Wang was also stunned.
He forgot to smoke his pipe.
He stared at his third son and said, “You, you really agree?”

Wang Yan Sheng's calmness made everyone ill at ease: “Didn't you want me to agree? Dad, if I refuse, you probably going to the army and report me for being unfilial, right?”

Old Mister Wang's face flashed a hint of guilt and self-consciousness: “Old Third, Dad knows that you don't like it, but your fifth brother only have this bloodline left.
I can't just watch him stray outside!”

Although Yao-er didn't live up to his expectations, he had doted him for decades.
Now the white-haired sent off black-haired.
During this period, he had dreams of Yao'er corpse every day.
Yao'er told him that he was very worried about his son and his only long-cherished wish is to get his son recognize his ancestors and return to the clan.

In the past few years, he and his wife had been thinking about Cong'er.
Since his wife and his youngest left, he felt that his time was running out.
So he wanted to get the child back before he died and register under old Third's name.

Old Third had the ability.
If he is put under his name, Cong'er will not be bullied by others.
He will not be afraid of him being unpromising in the future.

He also knew that this was unfair to old Third.
But he no choice, no? Besides, since old Third child was willing to raise other people's sons, then wasn't it more appropriate to raise his own nephew?

He thought that old Third would definitely be unwilling.
If he did then he would threaten him with a hunger strike.

It didn't occur to him that he agreed without even refusing.
This made him feel a little uneasy.

The corners of Wan Yan Sheng's mouth twitched: “Dad, don't worry.
I will take care of Cong'er.
I will pave the way for him in the future to make him stand out.”

Hearing this, the eyes of old Second Wang's wife and old Fourth Wang lit up.
Since old Third was so easy to talk to, it shouldn't be a problem for him to help other nephews in the future, right?

While old Mister Wang heard this, he felt even more uneasy.
Soon he knew why he was uneasy.

He listened to Wang Yan Sheng continue: “After he become promising, I will be able to retire and enjoy comfortable life.
I will make him hand over his monthly salary to me.
Get him buy a house and a car for my son.
Earn money for my son to marry a wife.
When I am old and can't move, he has to serve me on eating, drinking, and urinating.
If he doesn't want to, I'll go to his workplace to report him for being unfilial.
Saying he's a rotton jerk!”

Reaching here, Wang Yan Sheng paused and looked at his dad with sharp eyes: “So Dad, don't worry.
For my good future, I will take good care of Fifth Younger Brother's son!”

Old Mister Wang: “…”

The rest of Wang Family: “…”

This move was so cruel!

Sure enough, old Third was still old Third.
And they were wondering why he was so easy to talk to just now.
It turned out that there was this move waiting here!

Old Mister Wang trembled with anger: “You…you unfilial son!”

Wang Yan Sheng raised his eyebrows: “I did everything according to Dad's words.
How am I unfilial? There's no better day than today.
Let's go to Liu's house today to get Cong'er back.
I'll be returning to the army in two days.
Once the household registration is transferred over and I will take him to the army together.
This way he can train his body since young!”

Taking a five-year-old child to the army drill?

It would be better to directly kill him!

Old Mister Wang was so furious that his chest heaved violently.
Breath in but not out.
A very frightening sight.

Wang Shui Sheng hurried over to steady his breathing: “Third Younger Brother, say less.”

Old Man Wang grasped his eldest son's hand, “Eldest, give your third younger brother a good talk.
Your fifth younger brother died so tragically.
As as an elder brother with the ability to help, why isn't he willing? You can't be so selfish as a person! “

Wang Shui Sheng didn't persuade him.
Instead, he sighed: “Dad, if you are really think the best for Cong-er, let him stay in Liu's house.
If he encounter something in the future, we as relatives will definitely not ignore him.
You're not helping him, you're harming him!”

Cong'er was doing fine in Liu Family.
Liu Family's elderly treated him as their grandson.
So there was no need to bring him back!

His third younger brother wasn't a ruthless person.
He will help if he can help.
But his dad forcing him like this was burning up what little affection left.
He can control old Third now, but can he still control him for the rest of his life?

Old Mister Wang looked at his eldest son before turning to look at his third son.
In the end, he lowered his hand and sighed: “I'm old and useless.
You can do whatever you want.”

Mr.
Wang wasn't completely muddle-headed.
He knew that there weren't many days left.
If old Third hold resentment, who knows how he'll treat the child after he passed.

Forget it.
Let him stay at Liu's house.

It was just that when he thinks of Yao'er who committed suicide at a young age, he was immersed in self-blame and guilt.

Of course, this was another story.

The few branches dispersed.
Wang Shui Sheng spoke, “Third Younger Brother, I'll get your eldest sister-in-law help you with the preparations for the engagement?”

This time, Wang Yan Sheng didn't refuse: “Then I will trouble Eldest Sister-in-law.”

Liu Cui Hua smilingly waved her hands: “We're all one family, no need to say trouble.
There are a lot of things to prepare for this engagement.
Since you have to leave in two days, the preparation need to done quickly.
I'll contact the matchmaker right now!”

After saying that, she hurried out the door.

Liu Cui Hua was indeed shocked and regretful that old Third Wang wanted to marry Qiao Hong Xia.
She understood that old Third Wang wasn't an ordinary person.
No one could force him unless he wanted to.

Although her maternal younger cousin sister looked pretty, her personality and knowledge weren't up to scratch.
Even if she succeeded in marrying old Third child, they might not live in harmony in the future.

So why should she get dragged in this muddy water.
It was better to whole-heartedly help old Third and he can still remember her good point in the future!

After sighing, the other two branches' sister-in-laws threw this to the back of their mind.

Soon, Liu Cui Hua and Matchmaker Huang went to Qiao's house to seek the hand of marriage from the female party.

Qiao Hong Xia told her parents about the situation as soon as she got back earlier.
The others were very shocked after hearing it.
After the shock, they were all happy for her.

The two were in love with each other.
On top of that, they knew each other's family well.
Without any discussion, Qiao Family approved, mainly because Wang Yan Sheng will return to the army in two days.

Liu Cui Hua led Matchmaker Huang through Qiao's house door.
This scene had fallen in the eyes of people who were interested.
Everyone was very curious.

Seeing her merrily come out, they hurriedly surrounded her like flies smelling meat.

“Cui Hua, why did you and Matchmaker Huang go to Qiao's house? Do your maternal family want to be relatives with Qiao Family?”

There was only Qiao Hong Xia left in Qiao Family who can married.
Although they have been divorced, a man with poor conditions or a widower wouldn't mind too much.

Speaking of which, Liu Cui Hua was swift.
Seeing Qiao Family gained the deputy chief's family as relatives, they immediately set their eyes on Qiao Hong Xia.
Tsk tsk tsk.
Why didn't they think of this?

Liu Cui Hua grinned: “It's not that my maternal family wants to be relatives with Qiao Family.
It's our Wang Family!”

Wang Family?

Everyone was shocked and puzzled when they heard this.

Wang Yan Sheng was the only one left in Wang Family who had not married a wife yet.
But how could he set his eyes on the divorced woman Qiao Hong Xia?

One must know that Wang Yan Sheng was a colonel in the army.
The twenty-six-year-old colonel was a capable person.
In a few years, maybe he will be able to rise further!

In fact, as soon as Wang Yan Sheng came back, everyone's eyes were fixed on him.
It was just that Wang Family had two funerals.
They weren't allowed to get married within a year.
So everyone didn't dare to go up to inquire.

Now Wang Family was going to be in-law with Qiao Family.
Apart from Wang Yan Sheng, they can't think of any one else in Wang Family.

Someone asked the question: “Who in your Wang Family wants to be in-law with Qiao Family?”

Liu Cui Hua didn't plan to hide it: “Who else could it be? Except for old Third in our Wang Family, all of them have married wives.
My son is only ten years old.
It's too early to marry a wife!”

One stone created a thousand ripples!

As soon as these words came out, everyone's mind exploded!

“You mean old Third Wang wants to marry Qiao Hong Xia as his wife?”

“No way? How is that possible?”

Old Third Wang wasn't blind.
Nor was his brain flooded.
How could he like Qiao Hong Xia, a broken shoe?

Liu Cui Hua took in everyone's reaction and smiled: “Why is it impossible? Hong Xia is beautiful, hard-working, and capable.
She's a good hand in and out of the house.
Whoever marries her will be truly blessed!”

“But isn't she divorced? What's more, she has a son.
With his good conditions, who can't he marry? Why did he set his eye on such a broken shoe?”

There was a displeased woman who had long been interested in old Third Wang as her son-in-law.

Liu Cui Hua glanced at her.
She lowered her face and replied, “What's wrong with divorcee? Can't they get married again after getting divorced? Open mouth and close mouth, you uttered broken shoes.
If you have the ability, go to Auntie Xiu Zhi and say this!”

The woman's face went red and white.

Liu Cui Hua didn't talk nonsense with these nosy women and squeezed out of the crowd.

The engagement was too urgent and there were so many things to prepare.
How could she have time to talk nonsense with them!

Soon, the news that Wang Yan Sheng was going to marry Qiao Hong Xia as his wife spread throughout the production team.
It became the production team's hottest topic for a while.

Some people thought Wang Yan Sheng was blind.
He chose a broken shoe after thousand of choices.

Some people felt that Wang Yan Sheng wasn't interested in Qiao Hong Xia at all.
But rather, Qiao Family's connections.

Anyway, no one believed that Wang Yan Sheng had a crush on Qiao Hong Xia.

Fang Xiao Juan was stunned for a while after knowing this.
This was because Wang Yan Sheng never married Qiao Hong Xia in her previous life.

Qiao Hong Xia never got divorced in her last life.
After her stupid son died, she stabbed few of Zhao Family to death before committing suicide.
At that time, this incident caused a sensation in the entire county.
Qiao Family couldn't raise their heads because of this incident for many years.

In her previous life, because of this incident, her ex-father-in-law, Xue Chuan, was even more ill because of it.
He passed away in less than a year.
Then Qiao Xiu Zhi followed him.

As for Wang Yan Sheng, it was heard that he got married in the army when he was in his thirties.
Later, he got divorced.
After the divorce, he lived alone with a daughter.
Never remarried in his life.

A lot of changes had taken place in this life.
Qiao Hong Xia's son didn't die.
She didn't stab anyone in Zhao Family.
Instead, she was divorced.
Now she hooked up with Wang Yan Sheng.

About Qiao Hong Xia marrying Wang Yan Sheng, Fang Xiao Juan wasn't envious at all.

She was very afraid of Wang Yan Sheng.
Besides, her Meng Hong Guang wasn't any worse than Wang Yan Sheng!

In a few days, when everyone knows that she is going to marry into the city, everyone will envy her even more!

As for Xiao Qiao.
Seeing Qiao Family's days were getting better and better, her eyes were red with anger!

…

That night, Qiao's small house's Pi Pi barked again.

Qiao Hong Xia thought of what happened to Wang Yan Sheng last time.
She quickly got up and went out with a flashlight.

Walking into the yard, she heard Wang Yan Sheng whispering.
However, Pi Pi wasn't familiar with him.
Instead, he growled louder and louder.
He revealed his sharp tooth, looking very fierce!

Qiao Hong Xia was afraid of waking up other people, so she hurriedly halted Pi Pi.
Then, she walked to the gate of the courtyard and said with a blushing face, “Why are you here so late?”

Wang Yan Sheng's eyes landed on her face.
His gaze was burning hot: “I'm here to explain something to you.
I'm afraid you will misunderstand!”

The matter of him marrying her had immediately spread and the production had a lot of rumors.
He was worried about her hearing those rumors and misunderstood him.
Which then result in her not being his wife!

He tossed and turned on the bed.
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became.
So he came over before dawn.

Qiao Hong Xia had heard those rumors: “Then what do you think?”

Wang Yan Sheng solemnly stated: “The person I want to marry is you.
It has nothing to do with who your family are related to!”

Qiao Hong Xia's face turned red with a swoosh.
She lowered her head and dared not look into his eyes: “Since you have a clear conscience, then don't mind what others say!”

When she first heard those rumors, she did have some doubts in her heart.
But soon it subsided.

Qiao Family and Shen Family were just god-relatives.
Qiao Family won't ask Shen Family for help.
Even if Shen Family is willing to, they may not be able to intervene in the army affairs.

That's why people in the production team were just jealous that she, a 'broken shoe' could marry such a good man and uttered sour words that disgust people everywhere!

When Wang Yan Sheng heard her response, he breathed a sigh of relief: “It's good that you didn't misunderstand! I'm afraid that you will misunderstand and then you won't marry me!”

Seeing how nervous he was, Qiao Hong Xia couldn't help burst into laughter: “Why are you nervous? Even if I don't marry you, what girl aren't you able to marry with your condition? Did you not hear the villager say you are blind?”

Wang Yan Sheng: “I just want to marry you as my wife.
No matter how wonderful other is, I don't want them!”

After saying this, his face turned red.

Qiao Hong Xia's face was so hot that she could fry an egg.
The two looked at each other.
The lovey-dovey feel between them heated up.

Pi Pi opened his big watery eyes.
He looked at the faces of the two with confusion and curiosity.

Lin Hui had woken up long ago .She deliberately didn't come out to let the two of them talk.
After waiting for a long time and Qiao Hong Xia still hadn't come in, she had to remind her, “Hong Xia, who is outside?”

Only then did Qiao Hong Xia come back to her sense.
She replied with a guilty conscience, “No one.
Just Pi Pi randomly barking.”

The accused Pi Pi let out two aggrieved 'woo'.

Qiao Hong Xia turned back and urged him: “Quickly go back.”

Wang Yan Sheng was still looking at her: “You rest early.
I'll come back tomorrow!”

“Okay.”

…

The next day was the day that Wang Yan Sheng came to Qiao's house for engagement.
It happened to be the Dragon Boat Festival too.

Wang Yan Sheng was indeed very capable.
With such a short time, he can still come up with so many things.

There were tobacco, alcohol, two cans of malted milk extract, canned oranges that children like to eat, and dozens of jins of pork.
This engagement was very appealing!

People in the village noticed Wang Yan Sheng carrying large bag and small bag into the door of Qiao's old house early in the morning.
Their heart were bubbling with sourness.
Some girls' vision went red from jealousy.

Qiao Hong Xia specially wore a new dress today.
When she saw Wang Yan Sheng coming, she peeked at him from a distance before turning around and went into the kitchen to do her work.

Wang Yan Sheng watched her slender back.
His heart burned.
He could not wait to marry her home immediately!

Qiao Xiu Zhi and Xue Chuan didn't care about the large and small bags of gift on the table.
Wang Yan Sheng's ability to prepare so many things in such a short period of time not only proved his ability, but also showed that he valued Hong Xia.

So both of them were very satisfied.

Facing his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, Wang Yan Sheng was so nervous that his palms were sweating: “Dad, Mom, I will treat Hong Xia well in the future.
I'll do my best to make them mother and son have a good life!”

Qiao Zhen Guo, who was on the side, amusedly spoke, “Old Third Wang, you already changed the addressing before marrying.
You must be hen-picked in the future!”

Wang Yan Sheng's wheat-colored face flushed red: “It's not a bad thing to be hen-pecked.”

Qiao Xiu Zhi said, “I hope you can remember what you said and treat the mother and son well.
If you dare to treat them badly, my fist will never be polite to you!”

Wang Yan Sheng saw his future mother-in-law's fist and thought of the wild boar that was rumored to be beaten to death by one punch.
His whole body tensed up and rapidly nodded his head.
“Mom, don't worry.
I will definitely keep my words.”

Qiao Xiu Zhi was satisfied: “Stay for lunch later.”

Wang Yan Sheng was greatly relieved when he heard this.
He passed!

After he came out, he went to find Qiao Hong Xia.
Qiao Hong Xia was too shy to talk to him in front of her family and drove him out.
He could only go please his future son.

Little Yi Ming was following behind Da Qiao at the moment.
The group was going to catch crayfish by the stream.

Wang Yan Sheng came over and spoke, “Are you guys trying to catch crayfish? Do you want me to help you?”

Da Qiao raised her head and said softly, “Are you great at it?”

Wang Yan Sheng saw the little girl in front of him had fair skin and big eyes like black grapes.
He wondered how the countryside have such good-looking children.

He modestly responded, “I'm alright.”

Little Yi Ming remarked: “Alright basically means no good.
As expected, you're as great as Elder Sister Da Qiao!”

In little Yi Ming's eyes, there was nothing his elder sister Da Qiao couldn't do.
She was the best at anything!

Wang Yan Sheng squatted down and said very patiently: “I may not be as good as your elder sister, but I want to go with you.
Is that alright?”

Little Yi Ming blinked his small eyes and answered in his baby voice, “Okay, but you have to be obedient Don't run around.
Got to listen Elder Sister Da Qiao, understand?”

Wang Yan Sheng, who was lectured to be obedient, sweated.
In the end he 'obediently' nodded: “Okay.”

Little Yi Ming patted him on the shoulder, “Good boy.
Later, I'll give you some candy!”

Wang Yan Sheng: “…”

On this day, many people in the production team witnessed Wang Yan Sheng following a group of Qiao Family's children to catch crayfish by the stream.
There was no sight of impatience on his face.
Instead, he got along very well with Qiao Family.

Wang Yan Sheng was really good at catching crayfish.
Unfortunately, Da Qiao got better luck.
As long as she stood there, the crayfishes would crawl toward her and get into the bamboo basket she threw in.

“Younger Sister Da Qiao, you really are loved by everything.
Even the crayfishes will run over automatically when they see you!”

An Ping was envious.
How come he didn't have such a skill?

Da Qiao didn't understand why.
But when she saw these small crayfishes, her mind was on how she would be able to eat meat in a while Her eyes merrily curved into crescent.

Children from other families in the production team also came to catch crayfish.
However, their luck was really bad compared to Qiao Family.
Most of them only caught a few.
They were very envious of Qiao Family.

After catching two full crates of crayfish, Qiao Family's children were satisfied and ran home with a smile.

Da Qiao volunteered to go into the kitchen and made a pot of spicy crayfish for everyone to eat.
The flavor was so fragrant that everyone almost swallowed their tongues.

After lunch, Da Qiao secretly went to the pigsty with three sticky rice dumplings and a small pot of crayfish.

Seeing so much food, Huo Chi couldn't help swallowing: “You made this crayfish?”

Da Qiao puffed out her small chest and proudly pointed at the small baby bag: “My cooking skills were learned from my grandfather.
It's amazing!”

Huo Chi wanted to laugh every time he saw her compliment herself: “You are so immodest.
Didn't your teacher teach you not to be complacent?”

Da Qiao blinked her long and dense eyelashes, “But my grandmother said that I am confident.
Not complacent.
What's more, I am amazing.
Why can't I praise myself?”

This sounded quite reasonable.
Huo Chi was immediately rendered speechless by the question.

On her return from the pigsty, Da Qiao saw Fifth Aunt walking towards the clinic with two glutinous rice dumpling in her hands.

She called her, but unfortunately the other party didn't hear it.
So she could only give up.

As soon as Chen Qiao Qiao opened the door of the clinic, she was pulled in by the person inside.

She screamed in fright: “What are you doing? It would be bad if people seen!”

Tian Jian Ming lowered his head and took a bite on her lips.
He lowly chuckled, “What are you afraid of? Who will come to the clinic at this time?”

Chen Qiao Qiao was scared, while her heart felt sweeten: “Lock the door first.
If not, don't touch me!”

“Okay, my little ancestor.
I'll lock it now, alright?” Tian Jian Ming kissed her again before letting go.
He turned around and locked the door.

After locking the door, he turned to pick up Chen Qiao Qiao and walked to the inside ward.

Soon there was a red-faced gasping sound in the ward.

Da Qiao returned to Qiao's old house and heard an important news.
Future Third Uncle was going to take them to the town to take pictures!
