Chapter 15: Finding Reason to Ask for Food Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qiao Zhuang’s family stopped in their tracks and their imposing manner changed.
“Yeah, we’re going to...” Qiao Zhuang started speaking.
“I know, grandfather already told me.” Qiao Mei continued on for him. “Grandfather said before that the two of you are biological brothers. A family never has any overnight enmity. Now that he is sick, you guys would eventually come to visit him. How can you not turn up when outsiders have already come to visit?
Other than the easy-going second son of the Qiao family, everyone else’s expression changed. They looked at Qiao Qiang who was behind Qiao Mei. Could it be that he had taught this black bear girl to bully them?
It had been two months since Qiao Qiang came back from seeking treatment in the city. It was a fact that almost everyone in the village had come by for a visit, except their family.
The two families did not have a good relationship to begin with, considering that Qiao Zhuang was even taken away by another family when he was young. Qiao Qiang and Qiao Zhuang did not see eye to eye with each other and could not get along at all.
However, for the past two months, they did not come over to visit not because they did not want to come, but because they had not discussed who would get Qiao Qiang’s house.
Qiao Zhuang’s youngest son was about to get married and his older grandchildren were getting close to marriageable age, so it was difficult to decide how to split the assets.
Qiao Qiang was a little surprised when he heard this and he looked at Qiao Mei with a spark in his eyes.
Qiao Mei had never been someone who knew how to say things in a nice way. She was the type who preferred to solve problems cleanly and violently with her fists. It was really surprising to hear her speak those words.
But so many good things had happened today that his heart was actually quite numb.
“It’s fine if you are willing to help me, but let me say this upfront. You can help, but you can’t have the vegetables. After all, the 10 of you don’t eat as much as me alone. My family doesn’t have any vegetables to lend to you,” Qiao Mei said.
“Hmph! Why don’t you eat yourself to death?” The Qiao family’s eldest daughter-in-law put her hands on her hips and said, “Mei Mei, you’re already an adult and can get married anytime. You can’t keep eating like this. Otherwise, which family can support you?”
When people hear about Qiao Mei’s size and appetite, no one was willing to marry her. She could not be sold for a good price.
The family of a fool living in the mountain area, who’s looking for a wife for him, wants to find one who is hardworking and has a small appetite!
When it comes to Qiao Mei, she doesn’t know how to do any chores but is especially proactive when it comes to eating. She can probably eat someone’s family out of house and home in a few months, let alone bearing children for the family?
Who would want her?
However, Qiao Mei did not look at her. She only stared at Qiao Zhuang and waited for his reply.
Now is not the time to let that woman cause a distraction and change the topic.
“Second Grandpa, will you come to my house in the future to ask for the vegetables?”
Qiao Zhuang remained silent.
The Qiao family’s eldest daughter-in-law curled her lips and said loudly, “Everyone, quickly come and judge. Look at what this girl is saying! Going by what she’s saying, the act of sharing vegetables between relatives becomes a demand from us. Does it mean that the people in our family are beggars?”
