After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!
711 Wanting to Rebuild the House
Qiao Mei was not angry at all. She even found Qiao Yu very interesting. This girl always looked so gentle and weak, but she actually dared to go to the capital alone to look for someone.
This was definitely not something she could do on her own. Qiao Mei knew very well how much money Qiao Zhuang's family had. If Qiao Yu wanted to go to the capital, she would need at least 20 dollars.
Qiao Zhuang valued money as much as his life. It would be impossible for him to give Qiao Yu a single cent, so the expenses for Qiao Yu's trip to the capital must have been paid by someone else. It appeared that the money must have come from He Ning.
After all, they had all left at the same time and he was the most suspicious person.
"I know about this. As soon as Xia Zhe arrived at the army unit, he called me to explain everything. I know the whole story." Qiao Mei told Xia Wen about how Xia Zhe sent Qiao Yu to Chen Hu and how Chen Hu dealt with Qiao Yu.
When Xia Wen heard this, he slammed the table angrily, causing the vase on the table to fall to the ground. Xu Lan and the others were shocked and looked in his direction.
"It's really too much. I'll think of a way to get rid of her now. You don't have to worry about it," Xia Wen said.
"No, just leave her in the capital for now and perhaps get her a job sweeping the streets. Someone else must have arranged for her to go to the capital, it doesn't seem like something she can do on her own. Don't force her into a corner. If she comes back, she's dead for sure," Qiao Mei said softly.
She was not afraid of how sinister and cunning a person could be. Even a vicious person like He Ning would have a weakness. However, once a person was forced into a desperate situation, that person would want to perish together with everyone.
When one was not even afraid of dying, what would one be afraid of?
What if Qiao Yu had a hard time upon returning and decided to harm Qiao Mei and her children? It was safer to leave her in the capital. There was no urgency to punish her.
"I understand. I'll make the arrangements. How are you now? How's your health?" After Xia Wen clarified everything, he started to engage in casual chit chat.
Qiao Mei understood that Xia Wen was referring to her and her children when he talked about health. She smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, eldest brother. I'm doing quite well now. I have everything I need at home and I'm in good health."
"We've all received your things and everyone likes them very much. Recently, Mother has prepared some things for you and we're preparing to send them to you within the next two days," Xia Wen said.
Xu Lan quietly walked to Xia Wen's side and leaned close to the phone to secretly listen to Qiao Mei's voice. She did not dare to talk to Qiao Mei directly and could only use this method to get news about Qiao Mei.
Xia Wen smiled when he saw the cautious Xu Lan and handed the phone receiver to her. Xu Lan held on to it in a state of panic and did not dare to say a word.
"Hello? Eldest brother? Are you still there? Hello?" Qiao Mei looked at the phone line on the wall. This phone line was newly installed last year, so how could the signal be so bad?
Xia Wen whispered to Xu Lan, "If you don't speak, Qiao Mei is going to hang up…"
"Hello! Mei Mei! I'm your mother-in-law…" Xu Lan said embarrassedly.
"Mother! I received the things you sent me and the clothes are very warm. I also received that bangle. It's especially beautiful and I like it very much. Thank you, Mother. How have you been recently? Are you eating well? I left in a hurry back then and didn't manage to have a proper conversation with you," Qiao Mei said smilingly.
"I'm glad that you like it. At that time, I saw it on sale and thought that you might like it. I'm glad that you don't dislike it. I'm in good health now, so don't worry. What about you? How are you? Tell me if you lack anything. I'll buy it for you and send it over," Xu Lan said with heartache.
The more she spoke, the more sad she felt. She was worried that Qiao Mei would starve or freeze there, and worried that the environment there would not allow Qiao Mei to recuperate well. She even set aside a sum of money for Qiao Mei to rebuild the house there if she still wanted to go back. She wanted Qiao Mei to live comfortably.
"Mother, you've already bought me enough things. I can't wear all the clothes even if I wear a new piece every day! You have to take good care of yourself, understand?" Qiao Mei instructed.
"Yes, yes, yes! I understand!" Xu Lan said happily.
Xia Wen looked tenderly at Xu Lan who was on the phone. Tan Jing found the scene very jarring. These were clearly her husband and mother-in-law, but they were now having a phone call with another woman enthusiastically.
She was indignant as to why Qiao Mei received such preferential treatment. Xia Wen clearly loved her the most back then, but now she often saw Xia Wen secretly giggling as he fiddled with the children's things.
It was as if everyone was reminding her that she was not as good as Qiao Mei and that she was a woman who could not give birth.
