Chapter 562 Asking For Help

"Sister-in-law, it's not like what you said. Our mother also wanted to marry Qiao Yu off as soon as possible, but that family may not like our Qiao Yu. That's why I think about your daughter," Wang Qin said.

Liu Ying knew that Wang Qin had always looked down on her. Among the daughters-in-law in the family, Wang Qin was the one Qiao Zhuang liked the most and he felt that she made him proud. The next daughter-in-law whom he liked was her, as she could manage the family's affairs well.

However, she usually cannot beat Wang Qin. In this family, as long as Wang Qin spoke up, Qiao Zhuang would agree to her request in the end.

"Enough! It's so noisy you're making my ears hurt! How about this, let's send Qiao Yu to the Guo family for them to take a look first. If they like her, then they can marry her. If they don't, then we'll find another daughter for them to marry," Qiao Zhuang said.

All these women in the family were not half as diligent as Qiao Hua. If Qiao Hua got married, then only Qiao Yu, the idiot who only knew how to eat, would be left behind. That would be the Qiao family's loss!

Liu Ying looked at Wang Qin smugly. At least she got her way today.

Qiao Yu stood at the door and retreated repeatedly. She never dreamed that her family would sell her one day! Instead of marrying that old man, she would rather they throw her into the river and let her drown!

After leaving Qiao Zhuang's house, Qiao Yu walked aimlessly along the streets. When the neighbors around saw her, they did not dare to greet her. Although they were all willing to interact with Qiao Mei now, they still did not dare to offend anyone from Qiao Zhuang's family.

One could not underestimate the extent to which a village tyrant intimidated everyone.

Qiao Yu unknowingly walked to Qiao Mei's house and stood at the door in a daze. She had offended Qiao Mei previously and did not know if Qiao Mei would be willing to help her now.

Li Gui was the first person to see Qiao Yu at the door. She poked Qiao Mei and said, "Mei Mei, do you think that's Qiao Yu?"

Qiao Mei took a closer look and realized that it was her!

"What are you doing at our house?" Qiao Mei said bluntly.

Qiao Yu held on to the fence and did not dare to push the door open. Qiao Mei had once said that if she dared to take a step into the courtyard, Qiao Mei would beat her and throw her out.

"I... I want to ask for your help!" Qiao Yu said.

"We don't have anything to eat at home. Even if we do, we'd rather feed it to the dogs. You should go back," Qiao Mei said.

Qiao Yu quickly denied it. "No! I'm not here to ask for food! I'm here for my own business!"

The sun was going to rise from the west. Qiao Yu was actually here because of her own private matter.

Qiao Mei entered the house and washed her hands. She slowly walked to the door and asked, "Say it, what's the matter?"

At this time, everyone would come out for a walk after dinner to help with digestion. If they talked at the door, others would definitely hear them. There might be all kinds of versions of the conversation after tonight!

"Can... can I go in?" Qiao Yu asked.

"No. I don't know why you're here to look for me. Why should I let you in? Have you forgotten what I told you before? I'm already being very patient to allow you to stand at the door and talk to me. If you have something to say, then say it quickly," Qiao Mei said impatiently.

Qiao Yu had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "My father and the others want to marry me to the Guo family in the neighboring village."

The Guo family was a rich family from the neighboring village. It was not bad to be able to curry favor with them.

This was such a great thing, so was she unwilling to marry into the family?

"The Guo family is not a family that any ordinary girl can marry into. I hear that the Guo family's son is quite capable. You won't suffer if you marry him. Why are you here to look for me?" Qiao Mei looked at Qiao Yu and asked curiously.

"I'm not marrying his son. I'm... marrying Old Master Guo..." Qiao Yu's voice became softer and softer as she spoke and Qiao Mei almost could not hear what she said clearly.

This Old Master Guo was actually still in the mood for such amorous stuff at his age. She could only say that he was "old but vigorous"!

However, she did not see the point in Qiao Yu coming to look for her regarding such a matter. It was not as if she could interfere with Qiao Zhuang's family matters. Besides, it was best not to interfere in their family matters and get herself into trouble.

"Just this matter? Alright, I understand. You can leave," Qiao Mei said as she waved her hand.

Qiao Yu was overjoyed. She did not expect Qiao Mei to really not quibble about the past and be willing to help her.
