Adored Koi in the ’70s

Chapter 4

Fang's house was in the north of the village. Which was opposite of Qiao's house, which was at the south. She had been there once in total because her mom didn't like to take her back.

She encountered a lot of villagers along the way. She smiled sweetly at everyone. Everyone knew that she stuttered and didn't mind that she didn't greet them.

Once she reached the north of the village, she saw Xiao Qiao surrounded by a group of children.

Xiao Qiao was beautiful and a well-known child prodigy. The children in the village liked her very much.

Da Qiao looked on enviously. She usually had to housework. On top of that, she stuttered. So she had never played with the fellow children.

One child saw her. He immediately yelled: "Look, everyone, Stutterer is here!"

A few children ran over, clapped their hands, and sang children's rhyme around her: " Little Stutterer, plays with frogs. She picked up a melon, sold it for a dime. She ran home in a hurry and fell flat on her face! Fell flat on her face! Hahaha..."

There were no such children rhyme in the village before. It was only circulated in the past two years. Nobody knew where this rhyme came from.

Da Qiao's small hands tightly tugged at the corners of her clothes. Her face flushed.

Xiao Qiao tilted her head. A sweet smile hung on her mouth as she admired Da Qiao's embarrassment.

The 'Little Stutterer' children's rhyme was adapted from a children's rhyme in her previous life. She also secretly got other to spread it.

Da Qiao was born with the stutter. It was just her mom treated her like a treasure in her previous life. Whoever dared to laugh at her stuttering, she would fight them hard. Afterward, she went to the hospital to find a doctor to help her fix it. So Da Qiao's stutter was treated her before the age of six.

In this life, she lost her mother's affection. Coupled with her constantly mocking around her which made her feel more inferior, her stuttering naturally became more and more worst.

After appreciating enough, she walked over and said softly to everyone: "My sister is born with the stutter. It can't be cured in this life, so don't laugh at her."

"If it can't be cured for a lifetime, wouldn't that mean you will be little stutterer for a lifetime?"

"You were wrong. When young, it's little stutterer. When she grows up, it's big stutterer. When old, old stutterer, hahaha..."

Da Qiao blushed even more. She was so embarrassed that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.

"You guys are too bad. I won't talk to you anymore!" Xiao Qiao stamped her feet, turned her head, and smiled sweetly at Da Qiao: "Elder Sister, why are you here?"

Seeing the sweet smile on Xiao Qiao's face, Da Qiao breathed a sigh of relief: "Sister, when, will, you, you, and mom, go back, home?"

Xiao Qiao's pretty eyebrows frowned: "Mom said you are a calamity and will kill us. If you don't leave the house, she will never go back."

"What do you mean by calamity?" Some of the younger children asked ignorantly.

"I know, I know. My mom said Da Qiao is a plague god. Whoever approaches her is unlucky!" Song Da Bao shouted loudly.

Song Da Bao was Song Jin Lai's eldest son. He normally heard his mother muttered that Da Qiao was a calamity star at home. Naturally, he would remember.

When the other children heard Song Da Bao's words, they immediately ran far far away, as if Da Qiao was a plague. They feared that they would be contaminated by her if they got close.

Da Qiao's small hands tightly tugged at the corners of her clothes. Her eyes reddened.

Seeing Da Qiao's uncomfortable appearance, Xiao Qiao felt even more refreshed than eating ice cream on the hottest summer days.

If it weren't for Da Qiao in her previous life, she wouldn't have been a fool for more than a few decades. She made her so miserable. In this life, she will definitely repay all the pain she had experienced in this life!

When she was just born in this life, her mother didn't really hate Da Qiao so much. It had to wait until she can move. She would often pinch Da Qiao into tears.

Her mother had to take care of the two children alone as well as doing housework. She overloaded with work. Seeing that Da Qiao was so delicate, she was naturally very annoyed.

But this was not enough. She often woke up in the middle of the night and secretly opened Da Qiao's quilt. This caused her to get cold. The family owed a lot of money for her to see a doctor. Gradually, her mother disliked her even more.

Later, when she could speak, she secretly spread the fact that Da Qiao was a calamity star. This way, her mother was completely disgusted with Da Qiao.

"Elder Sister, go back first. Don't worry. I will persuade Mom to go home." Xiao Qiao tilted her head and smiled sweetly. Looking cute and sweet.

Da Qiao was very grateful to her sister for helping her: "Sister, sister, you're, really, good!"

Xiao Qiao smiled sweeter when she heard this.

At this moment, one large and one small child ran over. They were holding a fish with red and white markings in their hands.

The two children were called Fang You Liang and Fang You Rou. They were Da Qiao's maternal uncle, Fang Fu Gui's sons. One was eight years old and the other was four years old.

Fang You Liang ran up to Xiao Qiao and panted. Before he could speak, he noticed Da Qiao. He immediately glared: "Little Stutterer, why are you here? Did you come here to bully Sister Xiao Qiao?"

Fang You Rou childishly nodded his head in agreement: "Did you?"

Da Qiao shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, I, I have, haven't..."

"I don't think you dare. If you dare to bully Sister Xiao Qiao, I will punch you!" Fang You Liang showed her his fist.

Fang You Rou parroted: "Punch you!"

Only then, Xiao Qiao opened her mouth: "Cousin, didn't you go catch fish? Why come back so soon?"

Fang You Liang immediately showed the fish in his hand like a treasure: "Sister Xiao Qiao, look. Isn't this fish pretty?"

The fish in Fang You Liang's hand didn't reach half the size of his palm. The fish was different from the usual fish. Its scales seemed to glow. When the sun shines, it gave a gold shimmer. Extremely beautiful!

The other children saw the fish in Fang You Liang's hand and gathered around again.

"So beautiful That fish shines!"

"This is the first time I have seen a glowing fish!"

"Me too. Me too."

Even Da Qiao's eyes fixated on the fish. Her eyes filled with surprise.

Xiao Qiao's interest was lacking.

The fish was a gold and silver scale koi. Before she transmigrated into the book, not only did she often saw it on the Internet but also raised one herself. So it wasn't unusual for her at all.

But she didn't show it. She tilted her head and exclaimed sweetly: "What a beautiful fish! Where did Elder Cousin catch it?"

Fang You Liang saw everyone looking at him and puffed proudly: "This was caught in the rear brook. Sister Xiao Qiao, do you like it? Elder brother will give it to you!"

He likes this cousin Xiao Qiao very much. She looked so fair and smiled so sweetly. Unlike other girls in the village.

What's more, Cousin was very clever. She was a little prodigy. The school teacher often mentioned her. Because of this little prodigy cousin, he had face in front of his friends.

"Thank you, cousin, I like it very much." Xiao Qiao smiled sweetly and was about to pick up the fish, but she caught Da Qiao staring at the koi unblinkingly. She raised her eyebrows slightly, "Elder Sister, you like this fish a lot?"

Da Qiao nodded.

She had never seen such a beautiful fish before. She didn't know if it was her illusion. She kept having a feeling that the fish was looking at her.

The fish was out of the water. Its mouth closed and opened. A lot of scales fell off its body. It looked like it was injured. She thought it was very pitiful.

She blushed and pointed her finger together: "Sister, can, you, give, this, fish, to, me?"

"Why would I want to give it to you? Shameless, scram!" Fang You Liang pushed Da Qiao.

Da Qiao stumbled back a few steps and almost fell to the ground.

Fang You Rou followed along and waved his small fist: "Scram!"

This was the first time Xiao Qiao saw Da Qiao ask for something. At home, even when she was so hungry until her stomach protest, she wouldn't open her mouth to ask for something to eat.

Unexpectedly, she opened her mouth for a fish today.

Interesting.

If it was someone else, she would give it to them. But this was Da Qiao. She won't let her get her wish!

She frowned and acted like she was in a difficult spot: "Sister, this fish belongs to Elder Cousin, I can't call the shots."

Da Qiao pursed her small mouth sadly. She waved a small hand: "No, it's, it's okay."

Xiao Qiao stared at her face for a while before tilting her head: "In fact, if your sister really likes it, you can exchange something with Elder Cousin."

"What, what, thing?" Da Qiao looked puzzled.

Xiao Qiao had yet to answer when Fang You Liang expressed his displeasure first: "Why give to a little stutterer? Look how poor she is. What good things can she take out?"

Xiao Qiao's voice was soft: "Elder Cousin, don't you really want to eat sweets? If Elder Sister can take out sweets or exchange money with you, give it to your sister, OK?"

In this era, everyone didn't have enough to fill their stomachs, let alone snacks. But as children, there were always times when they have cravings.

Fang You Liang couldn't help but feel a little moved when he heard this: "It depends on what she can bring out?"

Da Qiao felt embarrassed. She felt her pocket but could only take out a penny. This was given to her by Grandfather the day before yesterday.

Fang You Liang snatched the money and muttered in dissatisfaction "Want to change my fish for only a penny. Dream on!" The money wasn't returned to Da Qiao.

Fang You Rou: "Dream on!"

Xiao Qiao saw that Da Qiao didn't take out anything of value and felt relieved in the end. She was afraid that their grandparents would treat her nicely when she was away.

She pulled Da Qiao aside and whispered: "Elder Sister, do you really want that fish?"

Da Qiao nodded her head heavily.

"Since Elder Sister wants it so much, then I will help Elder Sister this time. Later, I'll lie to Elder Cousin that the fish is poisonous and get him to throw it into the ditch. You can pick it up after everyone leaves.

"Sister..." Sister was so kind to her. Da Qiao felt had the urge to sniff her nose.

Turning her head, Xiao Qiao said, "Elder Cousin, Elder Sister wants to make a bet with you. She said that as long as you dare to throw the fish into the dung pit, she dares to pick the fish out from the dung pit. Elder Cousin, do you dare?"

A man's respect can't allow provocation, even when he's a child.

Fang You Liang glared at Da Qiao. his neck slanted: "Fine, we'll go. What is there to be afraid of!"

Da Qiao:? ? ?

"Everyone, follow me!" Fang You Liang waved his hand and wildly ran towards the east of the village.

The call received a response. The children yelled and followed.

Xiao Qiao blinked misty eyes: "Elder Cousin said he'll throw the fish into the dung pit. I can't persuade him. Elder Sister, how about forgetting about the fish."

Da Qiao blinked and shook her head: "I, want, it!"

Looking at Da Qiao's running figure, Xiao Qiao chuckled softly.

She knew that she would not give up easily. She was like this in her previous life.

However, the pit-trap in West Wood failed to kill her last time. This time, let's see if she can continue to be so lucky!

Withdrawing her smile, she moved her leg to follow.

At this time, in the east of the village, Song Jin Lai's entrance door was tightly closed.

Qiao Xiu Zhi slapped the door with her palm. The wooden door swayed: "Song Jin Lai's wife, open the door! I know you are at home. If you don't open the door, then do you not want this door anymore?"
