Chapter 1602 To Win People Over With Virtue
The rest were the minorities. These were the main few types of women living within a compound. They could kick up a lot of fuss every day! There were no peaceful days at all.
"I have never expected this..." Qiao Mei said in shock.
She already thought that relationships were complicated enough in Foshan Village, but she did not expect it to be even more chaotic here. Qiao Mei hated people who harm others imperceptibly the most. Such people were the most difficult to deal with, worse than the kind who would go head-on with her!
"That's not all! Some people are very easily jealous. If your family is doing well, she will find trouble with you for no reason until you suffer all kinds of hardships and end up worse off than her," Qian'e said with a frown.
"Sigh... But why... Don't they have anything else to do?" Qiao Mei said in puzzlement.
"Who knows? I guess they have a lot of free time to find out about other people's family affairs every day. It's such a pity that they don't work as special agents," Qian'e said.
"I'll take it slow since I just arrived and am not familiar with this place yet!" Qiao Mei said.
"You must take it seriously. Even with her temper, Xia He had also found herself in an disadvantaged position before and had to deal with these situations. It should be obvious that it's very difficult to live in a compound. Your life can't be seen as being too good or too bad. Anyway, there are many things which will need your attention! However, you don't have to worry. If anyone bullies you, just tell me and I'll teach them a lesson!" Qian'e said as she patted her chest.
"You? How are you going to teach them a lesson? You don't know martial arts!" Qiao Mei said.
"These hands... are very suitable for playing the piano! Did you just say that they can recognize patterns? I'll teach them how to read music scores," Qian'e said seriously.
Qiao Mei pursed her lips, not knowing what expression to show Qian'e. The woman who had just said that she was too harsh was now crouching over the brick bed in all seriousness and teaching the children how to draw musical notes. She recalled that in her other life, children were taught simple songs like "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Stars" when they first started music lessons. Qian'e went straight to teaching the children about the concepts of a "canon".
She wondered who was the more ridiculous one between the two of them!
In any case, Qiao Mei already had plans to let the children develop their skills in all aspects. Since Qian'e wanted to teach them, she would let Qian'e do it. In that case, she need not teach the children today.
Qiao Mei took out some pork from the fridge. She wanted to celebrate Qian'e coming around for a visit and cook a few more nice dishes. Qiao Mei had previously asked around and found out that many families here owned refrigerators and even freezers. Qiao Mei planned to buy a freezer in the future so that she could store more things. If other people also owned one, it would not be considered ostentatious for her to have one.
Xia Zhe was feeling a little frustrated at work. He was on duty tonight and it would probably be midnight by the time he reached home. He wondered if Qiao Mei would have a proper meal tonight. If he was not at home, who would cook for her?
"Why are you staring into space?" Zhao Wu asked as he knocked on Xia Zhe's table.
"Don't bother me. Don't you have your own work to do?" Xia Zhe said disdainfully.
"I'm all done! I'm only working overtime to accompany you! Let me ask you, are you bringing me to see my godson and goddaughter! I'm so anxious! I've already bought the longevity locks!" Zhao Wu said as he took out two gold locks from his pocket.
