My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker

CHAPTER 101-105

Qiao Zhongxing paused his movements with the chopsticks and shook his head at his brother. “Eldest Brother, it’s not that I, your little brother, want to lecture you. A wonderful, sensible child like Qiaoqiao is hard to come by. What could you possibly be dissatisfied about with her?”

“Today, your Eldest Sister-in-Law told me that we are moving from the village in two days.” Qiao Zhongbang’s eyes were brimming with emotional turmoil. When he heard this, he at first thought that his wife was joking with him.

They had lived in Qiaotou Village for so many years, and it had always been fine, so how could they simply move at a moment’s notice?

Qiao Zhongxing scratched his nose. “I heard about this matter also. Let’s move. It’s not like this is any good place. Eldest Brother, let me tell you…”

As Qiao Mu walked into the distance, the two Qiao brothers’ chatter was tossed to the back of her mind.

She led the horse and entered the nearby home of Qiao Liu.

Upon hearing a noise, Qiao Liu’s wife walked out speedily. “Qiaoqiao’s here.”

Chapter 102: Returning Without Success

Qiao Liu’s wife welcomed Qiao Mu to come inside and said with a bleak and bitter smile, “Qiaoqiao is considerate, are you here to visit your Sister Xiao Ya again? She is inside the house, but she’s still not that willing to see people.”

The events that happened in Qiaotou Village’s plaza were still vivid in people’s minds.

Twelve-year-old Qiao Ya had been humiliated by a hyena in public, and all of her clothes were nearly ripped into shreds and revealed a good portion of her skin to the onlookers.

Although she was a victim, in the eyes of the backward villagers of Qiaotou Village, Qiao Ya was an impure woman already. Two days ago, there were a few ignorant village women who were noisily petitioning for Qiao Ya to be burned to death to purify Qiaotou Village. She truly did not understand what was crawling around in those people’s minds.

During this period of time, Qiao Ya did not dare to go outside at all. She was neither able to face the villagers’ condemnation and disapproval nor was she able to confront that humiliating experience.

Qiao Mu sighed. If Qiao Ya was too afraid to move on herself, no one else could help her.

The current society might be fairly kind to women, but that only applied to women who are mystic cultivators, and Qiao Ya was merely a normal person.

Qiao Liu and his wife were nice people. When Qiao Mu’s family was lacking in clothes and food, Qiao Liu’s wife would frequently help their family a bit, so now that it was the dawn of a zombie outbreak, Qiao Mu wanted to help them however she could.

As for the other villagers, she truly could not manage that much at her age. Even if she currently knocked on every family’s door and earnestly advised them to leave, they would simply think she was crazy and might even think she was possessed by a demon and want to burn her.

Everyone had their own fate, their only choice was to fend for themselves.

“Qiaoqiao, come sit.” Qiao Liu’s wife wiped her hands on her apron and pulled Qiao Mu to sit. “Your sixth uncle went to pick vegetables and hasn’t returned yet. Qiaoqiao, these two horses of yours are?”

Qiao Liu’s wife was inevitably confused by the horses in Qiao Mu’s hands.

Qiao Mu finished tethering the horses in the courtyard before speaking to Qiao Liu’s wife. “Sixth Aunt, our family is leaving Qiaotou Village the day after tomorrow. Why don’t Sixth Uncle, Sister Xiao Ya, and you leave with us? Perhaps Sister Xiao Ya’s mood would improve after leaving Qiaotou Village.”
