682 Wanting to Freeload

Huo Gao quickly said, “Yes, yes, yes! I want everything you give me!”

Only a fool would not want it!

Not long after, Wang Qin was done cooking and brought the food to He Ning. There were three dishes and a soup. She would not make more than what he asked for. It would be such a waste of money!

“Are you satisfied with what you see? These are all my specialties. Potato stewed with kidney beans, braised pork, egg soup and stir fried eggplants,” Wang Qin said nervously to He Ning.

!!

The taste of these dishes was far inferior to what Qiao Mei made. Just the smell of Qiao Mei’s cooking was enough to make people drool. Wang Qin’s dishes did not have any fragrance at all.

He Ning and Huo Gao were really tired from walking all day. If they continued to be picky, they would probably starve to death.

“Alright, you can leave now. I’ll ask you to come and clean up after we’re done eating. This room belongs to us now, so you can’t come in as you like. You won’t be able to explain yourself if we lose anything. I’m doing this for your own good,” He Ning said.

Wang Qin noted everything He Ning said. This person was now their family’s “money tree”. Whatever he said was right and must be done.

“I’ll leave now. Please eat well,” Wang Qin said obsequiously and left the room.

He Ning put down his chopsticks after a few bites. Huo Gao was not picky and ate heartily. After eating, Huo Gao placed the table outside the door. When Wang Qin saw it, she would definitely come and clean it up.

After a good night’s sleep, He Ning brought Huo Gao to Qiao Mei’s house early the next morning and quietly squatted at the door.

“Do you think we’ll succeed by squatting here? My legs are going numb from squatting,” Huo Gao said as he grabbed his legs and grimaced.

They had been crouching here for half an hour for the purpose of freeloading a meal at Qiao Mei’s place. He Ning did not seem tired at all. Instead, he was full of energy and kept staring at Qiao Mei’s chimney. As soon as smoke started to rise, He Ning intended to rush in immediately.

“Why not? We’ll just wait here. Do you think they’ll just let us watch from the side while they eat?” He Ning said.

Qiao Mei lay on the brick bed and kept thinking about the matter of He Ning asking her for ginseng. Although the issue of He Mei plotting against her had already come to an end, it was a fact that He Ning had also harmed her previously. If she did not take revenge, it would be difficult to vent the hatred in her heart.

However, ginseng was something which she could have as much as she wanted, and she could grow it to whatever age she wanted. In the ancient fable, whatever Ma Liang drew with his magical pen would become real. Similarly, Qiao Mei could casually produce a thousand-year-old ginseng with a wave of her hand.

There was really no need for her to turn down an offer of money. The money that He Ning gave her now would be worth tens of times more in the future. When the time came, she could even earn hundreds of millions.

Given that He Ning was sending her so much money, she probably could also ignore some of He Ning’s previous actions.

As soon as Qiao Mei entered the courtyard, the small plants came to report to her and told her the exact location of He Ning and Huo Gao. Recently, she could communicate with the plants planted at home. Through the undercurrent of the golden energy net, Qiao Mei could hear the conversations of plants within 300 meters at any time.

Qiao Mei washed the pumpkins as if nothing was going on, then she washed the cucumbers and other items. She then placed them in the basket.

Qiao Mei looked out of the fence and then at the big basin of dirty water. She had an idea.

“It’s almost noon. Why isn’t Qiao Mei cooking at home? If you ask me, we might as well go back and eat the food that Wang Qin makes. At least we’ll still have something to eat. I’m about to starve to death now,” Huo Gao said as he rubbed his stomach aggrievedly.

He Ning was also hungry, but he was unwilling to compromise and make things difficult for himself. He had no choice but to force himself to eat yesterday’s meal. If he had to eat that kind of food again, he would rather die.

“I want to eat the food that Qiao Mei makes,” He Ning said stubbornly.

Huo Gao said angrily, “The chef at home has cooked for you for more than 10 years. I think the standard of her cooking is similar to Wang Qin’s, and you also ate it.”

“That’s different. It’s not like you haven’t tasted Qiao Mei’s cooking before. After eating it, you feel that other dishes don’t taste good anymore,” He Ning said helplessly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them were instantly drenched in dirty water. Huo Gao was further away and dodged when he felt water on his head. However, He Ning was not so lucky. He was totally drenched and there were even a few rotten vegetable leaves on his head.
