Qiao Zhenbang stared blankly at the drama unfolding in front of him. His current state was very miraculous—
His soul seemed to be pulled away, leaving only a body.
Obviously I can see and hear sounds, but it seems that I can't go through my mind. Just seeing and listening, my brain has completely stopped functioning.
Because this question kept flooding his mind: What's going on? What exactly is going on
This is another thing that is different from the previous life, and this person has nothing to do with their Qiao family.
If something different from the previous life happened to Qiao Zhenbang or his family, Qiao Zhenbang would also feel that it might be his own role.
After all, he suddenly has the memory of his previous life, and his words and deeds will be affected to some extent.
And a small change can lead to completely different consequences.
Well, this is what the memory in the brain calls the "butterfly effect."
However, Qian Xiu'e and Cao Changsheng are really just strangers.
At best, Qiao Zhenbang just followed Qian Xiu'e and didn't even say a word to her.
How come-
etc! Did Qian Xiu'e have a warning dream
Just like him or Brother Qiao, although the things in the dream are a bit strange from reality, they are all warnings.
For example, Qiao Zhenbang dreamed about his past life and knew that his wife was not sincere to him.
The fact is that Jiao Jiao married him for money. After she exposed it, Jiao Jiao immediately revealed her true colors.
Another example is the second brother Qiao, who dreamed that another female student plagiarized his paper.
In fact, it may not be plagiarism or being framed, but it may be other conspiracies.
As for the Cao family in front of us, maybe Qian Xiu'e also had a dream about her husband's life experience.
As long as there is a quarrel and the Qian and Cao families are at odds with each other, it may be exposed that Cao's mother plotted against her daughter-in-law and wanted to put her niece in power.
In this way, Qian Xiu'e's tragedy can be avoided!
right!
It must be a dream!
Qiao Zhenbang felt that he had found the root cause and believed that Qian Xiu'e, like their brothers, had been favored by God.
"What are you dreaming about? I haven't heard about what Master Qian has dreamed about."
"I heard that a man whom Master Qian had helped in his early years happened to hear a rumor. After careful inquiry, he found that the rumor had something to do with Master Qian's son-in-law, so he wrote a letter to remind Master Qian!"
"Master Qian read the letter and thought it was ridiculous, but because he cared about his son-in-law, he still found someone to investigate it carefully."
"Good guy, it doesn't matter if you don't investigate. We have already discovered the big secret of the Cao family!"
In the past two or three days, there has been no other topic in the town. It seems that everyone is discussing the Cao family's "civet cat for prince".
The intensity of this "hot discussion among the people" was actually greater than the turmoil caused by Qian Xiu'e's suicide in Qiao Zhenbang's "previous life".
Thinking about it, in their hometown, although it is not seen every day that a young daughter-in-law seeks death, it is not a rare thing.
The reason why Qian Xiu'e's death has been hotly discussed and remains popular is that the way she died is somewhat surprising.
And this incident itself is not too unusual.
"Chanzi Fengyun" or something like that is much rarer.
Everyone has only heard of "a civet cat exchanges for a prince" in dramas, but they didn't expect that such a scene would actually happen in reality.
Still by your side!
The people in the town and surrounding areas were strange and excited.
He almost says it when he meets someone, whether he knows him or not, he can't bear the urge to gossip.
No, when Qiao Zhenbang was walking around the town, he just went to the People's Restaurant to eat a bowl of noodles, and he was caught by the diners at the same table and started "chatting" with him.
What a coincidence, Qiao Zhenbang also wanted to know the details.
That day, he just stood outside the door in a daze. His body was out of control, and he actually wandered to another street by himself.
When he came to his senses and ran back to the door of Qian's house, wanting to continue to watch the progress of the incident, the other two families had already entered the house.
As soon as the door closed, I didn't know what they said.
Missing the most direct source of information, Qiao Zhenbang knew Qian, Cao or another group of people, so he didn't know the details of the matter.
When Qiao Zhenbang was thinking about how to find out the information, this diner who was said to be a colleague of Qian's father took the initiative to show off.
Qiao Zhenbang exchanged a few pleasantries and asked the question that was lingering in his heart: "Okay, how come Master Qian knows about this?"
"I heard that there is a 'dream warning'. Could it be that Master Qian also had such an adventure?"
Although warnings in dreams are quite strange, if paired with the farce of the Cao family, it might be more eye-catching.
However, this diner is a gossip, but he still has some bottom line: he can't make up random things that have no shadow.
Moreover, people who have been favored by others take the initiative to write letters to remind them. Although they are not too legendary, they are better than "positive energy".
In fact, most people like the "what goes around comes around" plot.
Even Qian’s father and Qian’s mother felt that such a thing was worth showing off.
When someone asked, "Master Qian, how did you know?", Qian's father or Qian's mother said it openly.
Qiao Zhenbang: ... It’s not a dream!
How could it not be a "dream warning"
"Is it true that you didn't dream? Master Qian didn't, and neither did his daughter?"
Qiao Zhenbang's heart was in a mess, and his brain that had just been sorted out became chaotic again.
"Really not! Master Qian doesn't have it, his wife doesn't have it, and her daughter doesn't have it either!"
The diners were a little curious. This person looked quite young. How could he be as superstitious as an old lady in the countryside
Someone clearly wrote a letter to remind him, so why did he insist on talking about something as mysterious as "warnings in dreams"
The doubts in their hearts did not stop the diners from continuing to share gossip.
So what, the Cao family's affairs are really about to be ruined by the residents of the town.
There are also many colleagues and relatives of the Qian family. Everyone has first-hand information and shared it with others as soon as possible.
But the town is only so big. It has been two or three days since the incident happened, and basically everyone who needs to know knows about it.
It's really not easy to find a stranger who has never heard of the inside story and then keeps asking questions.
The diner's gossipy heart was a little excited, and he continued to talk without caring about Qiao Zhenbang's abnormality -
"Oh, besides, Master Qian's son-in-law is actually not the son of the Cao family!"
"When he was born, it was a time of war and chaos. The Cao family had some money in the early years, so the man went out to run business."
"As for the Cao family's daughter-in-law, she has been unable to give birth to a child for several years, and her parents-in-law have long had objections. They have said more than once that when the son comes back to make money, and if the daughter-in-law's stomach is still quiet, she will buy a concubine."
"It was still the old society at that time, and it was not illegal to buy a concubine!"
"The Cao family's daughter-in-law was anxious and secretly ran to see the doctor. But guess what? Her palace is cold and she can't give birth at all!"
"The Cao family's daughter-in-law was frightened. This is no longer a matter of her husband buying a concubine to have a child, but if she is not careful, she will be kicked out by her husband's family."
"It just so happened that one of her cousins was pregnant, and her cousin's husband was caught as a prostitute. The cousin wanted to give the child away after giving birth, so that she could remarry!"
"When the Cao family's wife heard about this, she quickly found her cousin and discussed it with her. When she returned to her husband's house, she said she was pregnant a few days before her husband left home."
"When my parents-in-law heard about it, they were very happy. The couple never thought that their young daughter-in-law, who was submissive and submissive in front of them, would dare to lie."
"The Cao family's daughter-in-law kept pretending to be pregnant. When she was about to give birth, she went back to her parents' home early, and then found an excuse to stay at her parents' home."
"As soon as her cousin got a boy, the Cao family's daughter-in-law took the child and said it was her own..."
The diners didn't need Qiao Zhenbang to "praise" him, he just talked about it endlessly.
At this point in the story, many of Qian Xiu'e's mother-in-law's unusual behaviors can be explained.
She held onto her son like that not just because he was an "only son."
More importantly, the son was not born to her at all.
And she would bring a niece with her and plan to let her have sex with her son, but she was also threatened by her cousin.
After the cousin gave her son to Cao's mother, she was about to remarry, but the husband who was captured as a young man escaped and came back.
The cousin did not dare to tell the truth, but she said that after she became pregnant, the child was stillborn because she was too frightened and could not eat enough.
My cousin's husband felt very guilty and was very kind to his wife.
You know, there was also a young man in their village who was captured as a young man just like him.
After a few months, the two finally escaped back. Their wives were still guarding them, but that man's wife had already remarried with her daughter!
With such a sharp contrast, the husband increasingly felt that his wife was virtuous, kind-hearted, and valued love and justice.
Therefore, when it was later discovered that his wife had been injured due to a "difficult childbirth" in her early years and could no longer be pregnant, her husband did not dislike her.
They also took the initiative to secretly adopt a baby girl, saying that she was their child.
And this baby girl is cousin Cao.
Cao's mother's cousin meant very clearly, "Cao Changsheng must marry my daughter, so that he can call me mom openly!"
In fact, even if the cousin didn't say something so sensational, just because she was Cao Changsheng's biological mother, Cao's mother had to compromise and be threatened by her.
Of course, my cousin is quite reliable. Apart from this incident, she has not forced or blackmailed Cao's mother in any way over the years.
Cao's mother knew that her cousin still felt that the Cao family's conditions were good and that her son's surname was Cao, and he had a better future.
It's just a matter of getting married so that my cousin can legitimately benefit from Cao Changsheng's honor and enjoy his filial piety. It's not too much.
Furthermore, Cao's mother did not like Qian Xiu'e as her daughter-in-law. She felt that she was too ugly and her family conditions were too good. In front of her, Cao's mother always had an inferiority complex.
If Cao Changsheng could be severely suppressed by her daughter-in-law and completely get rid of the rumors of "stepping into the door", Cao's mother would actually be very happy.
"... Well, this old lady from the Cao family is quite shameless. While enjoying Qian Xiu'e's filial piety, she secretly encouraged her niece to climb into Cao Changsheng's bed!"
"Fortunately, Master Qian received a tip from a well-intentioned person in advance. He carefully went to the Cao family's hometown to check and found clues."
"Cao Changsheng's biological father was surprised and happy when he heard the news. He originally thought he was going to die, but he didn't expect to have a son..."
The diners continued to talk about the legendary stories of the Cao family, foaming at the mouth and dancing.
Qiao Zhenbang didn't listen. He only had one thought in his mind -
There is no such thing as "changing children" and "past life".
Qian Xiu'e did not die, nor did she break up with her husband.
Cao Changsheng's life experience was exposed, and his relationship with his biological parents, adoptive father and adoptive mother became very delicate.
After a lot of trouble, I became closer to my father-in-law and mother-in-law.
It happened that at this time, Qian Xiu'e suddenly fell ill because she was stimulated and busy.
After going to the hospital for a checkup, she found out that Qian Xiu'e was pregnant.
Now, Cao Changsheng no longer cares about the messy things going on in the Cao family.
He directly sent Cao's mother, Cao's cousin, and the biological father who came to recognize his son back to his hometown.
He continued to live with his father-in-law, his biological parents and adoptive parents, who only sent him some money every month.
But wanting to serve like a filial son and virtuous grandson, Cao Changsheng himself had a shadow in his heart.
As for Cao's mother, the truth was exposed and she was divorced by Cao's father.
Father Cao's idea is also simple. Although he is over fifty years old, he is not too old.
Find a younger widow, work hard, and give birth to your own child.
Cao Changsheng's biological parents were also in trouble.
The biological father wanted to recognize his son, but Cao Changsheng said that he would support the old man in his old age, but only as a pension.
After all, he didn't raise her personally, and his biological father didn't have the confidence to make trouble.
In the end, he had the same idea as Cao's father, kicked out his wife who couldn't bear children, and then married another wife.
Cao's mother and her cousin wanted to find Cao Changsheng, but the Qian family were not easy to offend.
As long as they dare to show their faces in the town, Qian's mother will chase them with her man's butcher knife and chop them.
The two old ladies were so frightened that they ran away, but they were so pitiful that neither Cao Changsheng nor the passers-by who were watching took action to stop them.
I have no choice but to bear the consequences of my own mistakes.
Cao Changsheng and Qian Xiu'e lived a harmonious life. Although his biological parents and adoptive father and mother caused a lot of trouble, he still had a Qian family and was still living smoothly in the small town.
Qian Xiu'e's fate was completely changed. Neither she nor the child in her belly died in vain!
This is a good thing, and He Tiantian is very satisfied.
Qiao Zhenbang was greatly stimulated—
"Previous lives" and so on, under the impact of "dream warnings", seem so unreliable.
Now, even "dream warnings" seem to have problems.
Could it be that there are no past lives or warnings in dreams, and everything is just a coincidence
Qiao Zhenbang is really going crazy.
But he was not willing to give in and was ready for one last test.
He returned all the way to the village. Instead of going home directly, he ran to the old house on another street.
"Milk! I'm going to the city to do business and need capital. Do you have any treasures in the box?"
Grandma Qiao is Qiao Zhenbang's only hope.
If Grandma Qiao's side is different from her "previous life" and "dream", then Qiao Zhenbang really has no choice but to give up!
