Chapter 17: Cutting Off Relatives

Editor: Atlas Studios

Qiao Zhuang was sent away as soon as he was born. His foster parents passed away when he was 18 years old so, in order to survive, he returned to the Qiao family. However, he was not close to the Qiao family, pulling a long face all day as if he had a grudge against them.

"I don't want a brother like you who's looking forward to my early death!"

"Get lost!"

The wrath of an experienced battle-hardened veteran was not something that a village bully can handle.

Qiao Zhuang remained silent and turned around to leave.

The neighbors who were watching the commotion also looked at this scene in shock. In the end, they looked at Qiao Mei in disbelief and left as well.

Qiao Mei quickly helped her grandfather back into the house. She looked up and saw Qiao Yu still standing outside the door.

Why isn't she leaving yet?

Qiao Yu's mouth was wide open as she looked around the house in shock.

When did Qiao Mei's pigsty house become so clean?

And… what about the man who asked for directions last night?

"Sister Qiao Mei, last night there was a big brother who came to your house. Has he left?"

Qiao Mei looked up and saw that she had a shy expression on her face with flushed cheeks.

Ha, big brother?

"Who told you to call me sister?" Qiao Mei immediately asked and raised her voice angrily. "Although I'm older than you but in terms of seniority, I still have to call you aunt, right? How can I be your sister?"

"Besides, aren't you ashamed to call a stranger big brother?"

These questions were too much for Qiao Yu, whose face instantly turned red, as she hurriedly tried to explain herself. "No, no! Yesterday, he happened to run into me when he entered the village and asked me for directions, so I brought him to our house. Have you forgotten?"

Qiao Mei really had no recollection of this.

However, she did not feel any embarrassment from having wronged Qiao Yu. "What do you mean by 'our house'? This is my house. It has nothing to do with you. Your father and the rest just left in anger. You quickly get lost too!"

Qiao Yu's eyes reddened and she did not say anything as she walked out.

However, she did not take Qiao Mei's words to heart. Every time Qiao Mei was in a bad mood, she would take it out on her. But after a while, Qiao Mei would forget everything after a little coaxing.

What a busty brainless fool.

"Stop!" Qiao Mei suddenly shouted and stopped her.

"What's wrong, Sister Mei Mei?" Hearing this, Qiao Yu immediately turned around and smiled sweetly at Qiao Mei.

"Did you hear what I said to them just now? It applies to you too." Qiao Mei picked up an axe on the ground. "If you dare to step into my house again, you will end up like this piece of wood!"

With that, she picked up the axe and hacked at the wooden block on the ground.

In an instant, the block of wood was split open and the wood fragments flew a few meters away from the force.

Qiao Yu already knew that Qiao Mei was full of brute strength, but when she saw the conviction in Qiao Mei when she said those words, she fixed her gaze on Qiao Mei for a while and left quickly without saying anything.

After the group of people left, the courtyard became quiet and Qiao Mei started to prepare dinner.

Dinner was again cabbage stewed with carrots. After the two of them finished eating happily, Qiao Mei went to work.

She did not want anyone else to touch the land in the courtyard. Naturally, she wanted to personally cultivate this piece of land so that it could fulfill its greatest potential.

Guarding their own vegetable field was naturally the most important thing.

After an entire afternoon, she already knew that the energy of the jade pendant could improve the quality of vegetables and fruits and increase nutrition in them. It could even do healing.

How could she bear to let Qiao Zhuang and his family eat vegetables of such quality? She was not even willing to give them a single wild vegetable that came from the soil.

Qiao Qiang also joined her in manual labor. He felt much better today and was in an exceptionally good mood. He picked up the hoe beside him and started to flip the earth.

He even got unhappy when Qiao Mei did not allow him to do it.

When Qiao Zhuang and his family got home, the atmosphere was no longer as pleasant.

"Why did this Qiao Mei suddenly become smart?" Qiao family's eldest daughter-in-law, Liu Ying, asked.

"Maybe she didn't become smarter." Jiang Ye, the second daughter-in-law, said, "Maybe she was quite smart in the past, it's just that we don't know."

Qiao Yu was the only one from Qiao Zhuang's family who was closest to Qiao Mei. It was Qiao Yu who reported that Qiao Mei was stupid and lazy, the rest of them actually did not know the real situation.

When Qiao Mei was young, they still saw her around but later on, she started to stay in the house all the time and no longer came out.

"Who cares if she's smart or not? Just think of a way to get rid of her," Qiao Zhuang said to his daughters-in-law. "How's the thing I asked you to do? Why is there no news?"


Chapter 18: Marrying a Fool

Editor: Atlas Studios

Eldest daughter-in-law Qiao hurriedly replied, "Earlier, we contacted a few families in the mountains. We were about to reach an agreement, but after they asked around about Qiao Mei, everything turned sour. Their family only has this fool, yet they are still so picky!"

Although she said that, she also felt that the fool's family did the right thing. They were not stupid enough to let him marry the dark fatty Qiao Mei.

Qiao Zhuang immediately looked towards his third daughter-in-law.

The third daughter-in-law scratched her head and said honestly, "It was the same thing in our village. When the family of Idiot Liu from the village heard that the matchmaker wanted to introduce Qiao Mei to them, they were so angry that they threw a hoe at her. It's really infuriating."

Qiao Zhuang glared at her. This third daughter-in-law of his was the most infuriating one.

From the beginning, he had planned out his sons' marriages.

The eldest son was ruthless but not smart enough, so he found him a capable woman.

The second son was the most simple-minded, so he found him a smart wife.

The third son was too smart, so he found him a stupid woman.

The fourth son was most like him, so he found him someone like his mother who had a weak personality and a kind heart.

And the fifth son was the one he thought was most geared for success. That was why he had been picky and not married yet.

It seemed that his choices had all turned out to be quite suitable. However, this third daughter-in-law of his could be really infuriating sometimes.

Qiao Zhuang looked at his second daughter-in-law. This was the daughter-in-law that he valued the most and the one he was most wary of.

The second daughter-in-law of the Qiao family was 39 years old this year. There was nothing special about her face, but she looked fresh with her short hair. She was neat and tidy and with her professional attire, she looked like a city dweller.

She was the village accountant.

Sensing her father-in-law's gaze, she ran her fingers through her hair and said mildly, "I also don't have any suitable candidates, and I feel that even if we choose someone, Eldest Uncle will not agree to marry Qiao Mei over."

As she finished, she pursed her lips and seemed a little resigned.

The people in this family are not afraid of Qiao Qiang causing trouble. They even hoped that Qiao Qiang would come and cause trouble, it would be best if he collapsed and died from anger.

But she is afraid!

Qiao Qiang is a retired veteran. Although he can't cause trouble for others, it will be easy for him to deal with her. If he makes a trip to her office, she can easily lose her job.

She is really unwilling to take up this matter to find an idiot husband for Qiao Mei!

Besides, these people at home are so stupid. By finding an idiot for her, their intentions are so obvious. Is there no better way to get rid of her?

"What do you plan to do?" Qiao Zhuang focused his attention upon hearing her words.

The Qiao family's third daughter-in-law straightened her clothes and continued, "My maternal family's neighbor is a man who's 32 years old this year. He's strong and capable. It's just that his wife died and left behind three children and he is a little poor. If you are to introduce him as a match for Qiao Mei, I think Eldest Uncle may still consider it."

Qiao Zhuang lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before asking, "How many brothers does he have?"

"He has three. He's the eldest and the other two aren't married yet."

Qiao Zhuang knitted his brows. If there were too many brothers at the in-law's side, it would not be good if they came over to fight for the land as well.

They wanted Qiao Qiang's land. Logically speaking, the piece of land belonged to Qiao Mei. If Qiao Mei was unwilling to give up, the two families would have to fight over it. They might even end up actually physically fighting for it.

If that happened, the most important thing was to have people who knew how to fight.

The Qiao third daughter-in-law seemed to have guessed her father-in-law's thoughts. "That family won't want our land. After all, they have their own fields. It'll be fine as long as we don't accept any betrothal gifts."

"Of course we won't!" the Qiao family's second daughter-in-law immediately shouted. "With Qiao Mei's obese appearance, who would want her? Even if you are willing to pay people to take her, still no one would want her."

Qiao Zhuang was still a little worried.

The third daughter-in-law thought for a while and said softly, "That man's mother is famous for being mean and that man really likes beating his wife. I heard that his previous wife was worked to the bone and beaten to death…"

"Oh my, oh my!" The second daughter-in-law immediately cried out in surprise. She opened her mouth wide and said, "This won't do. If she was really beaten to death, Eldest Uncle would come and kill us."

The third daughter-in-law rolled her eyes and remained silent.
