Anyone there?

Qiao Xiaomai immediately fell silent, and boy number three listened attentively to the footsteps.

The footsteps stopped at the entrance of the Qiao house. The person seemed hesitant and, after a while, raised his hand to knock on the door. The knocks were soft.

Boy number three gestured for Qiao Xiaomai to respond.

“Who is it?” shouted Qiao Xiaomai, her voice also soft.

“Me.” A vaguely familiar voice responded. The visitor deliberately lowered his voice and Qiao Xiaomai had trouble recalling who it might be.

“Qiao Changkang, go open the door.” Boy number three whispered into her ear before vanishing into the storage shed.

His tall silhouette disappeared into the dark shed.

Qiao Xiaomai rubbed her ears a bit, his breath had been quite warm. She gathered the food from the table and put it away before moving to open the door.

Outside, Qiao Changkang was hunched over and shrinked back, looking scared. When he saw her opening the door, he stomped his foot, “Xiaomai, let’s talk inside, 1 have some clues.”

“Clues?” Xiaomai was a little shocked, she stepped aside and gestured for Qiao Changkang to enter.

Qiao Changkang quickly entered and asked casually, “Why are you still up?”

“So much wheat got burned, I feel pained. Can’t sleep, was sitting in the courtyard lost in thought.” Qiao Xiaomai made something up.

“Well, isn’t it a good thing that 1 came.” Qiao Changkang immediately responded.

“What clues does Uncle Four have?” Qiao Xiaomai closed the courtyard door.

“Let’s sit there and talk.” Qiao Changkang glanced at the table under the tree and headed toward it.

He sat down and motioned for Qiao Xiaomai to come over.

Qiao Xiaomai also walked over and sat down. He leaned in towards Qiao Xiaomai and whispered mysteriously, “I have to say this first, after 1 tell you, don’t yell. We don’t want to alert others, got it?”

“I won’t yell.” Qiao Xiaomai nodded.

Qiao Changkang took a deep breath, as though he had made a significant decision, and said, “Your father’s leg, the reason it broke, was because your uncle did something that day…”

Qiao Xiaomai’s eyes widened suddenly. She abruptly stood up, shouting loudly, “What?!”

“Hey, sit down, sit down, lower your voice. Don’t disturb other people.” Qiao Changkang quickly waved his hand, urging Qiao Xiaomai to sit down.

Qiao Xiaomai gritted her teeth and sat back down, asking, “Uncle Four, how did you know about this?”

“I saw it! At that time ah, your father, your uncle, and me, we were on the roof. The house was almost built, ready to move the tiles onto the roof. That’s when your uncle secretly loosened one of them. Your father stepped on it and fell…” “Why didn’t you tell my father back then?” The frown on Qiao Xiaomai’s forehead deepened, her teeth clenched tightly.

At that time, the Sun Family’s Zhu Cuiying had been telling the village that Qiao Changshun and Zhuang Luhe’s undutiful behavior would lead to retribution. Then when Qiao Changshun really did break his leg, they thought it was karma coming so quickly, and Zhuang Luhe had to endure endless finger-pointing.

The money spent on treating the leg also wasted all the silver saved in the house. The possessions bought were sold off again before they could even get warm.

This was a tremendous blow to Zhuang Luhe.

Zhuang Luhe left when the household couldn’t continue.

As for Zhuang Luhe, Qiao Xiaomai wouldn’t comment, but the broken leg did bring countless pains to this household, torturing Qiao Changshun even now. It’s torturing her too.

If Qiao Changshun’s leg hadn’t been hurt, she and Qiao Dami would have been much more relaxed.

Furthermore, Xiaomai got killed because she went to the mountains to gather medicine for Qiao Changshun’s leg.

“Oh Xiaomai, listen to me. Your Uncle Four, with the lard over my heart, was blind at that time, didn’t want to offend your Uncle Three, so 1 didn’t say anything.”

“I apologize, 1 sincerely apologize. I failed your father and your whole family. For so long, I also couldn’t stand feeling guilty.”

“Now, with this happening to your family, I will make up for it with my actions..”
