Kapitel 6: Super Big Change
Redakteur: Atlas Studios
Qiao Mei examined the pendant carefully, but when she happened to glance at the wound on her finger, she was surprised to find that the wound was gone.
Could it be… that this pendant has healing properties?
Qiao Mei carefully observed the changes in her body as she tried to take a few steps. After a while, her eyes lit up with pleasant surprise when she discovered that the jade pendant had an unusual function.
When she walked out of the house earlier, she could feel herself panting after a few steps. But when she walked to the kitchen now, she did not feel any discomfort the whole way.
There was no longer any pressure on her chest and her breathing had become smooth.
Wound healing?
Strengthening the body?
Qiao Mei smiled slightly. It was good that this jade pendant had this function, it could protect her life and save her from worrying about her obesity causing other illnesses.
She stood there and studied it for a while before finally confirming that this jade pendant indeed had the effect of strengthening one's body.
She secured the rope holding the pendant and hung it around her neck before starting to clean up the room.
It was time to start work!
She first cleared out the unwanted items in the room and threw away the pile of trash, leaving behind an empty room.
Only a bed and a bedside table were left in the room.
Qiao Mei took out all the clothes piled up by the bed and threw them into the big basin in the courtyard.
Then, she picked up the broom to clean up all the dirty corners and used a cloth to wipe the dust off all the tables and cabinets.
Even the only glass surface was polished to a shine.
When Qiao Qiang got home, Qiao Mei was doing her best to wash the dirty clothes in the big basin.
He was stunned on the spot and dared not believe that the person washing the clothes was Qiao Mei. He blinked his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him.
What was going on?
The person in front of him was indeed his granddaughter, but what she was doing… did not seem like something she would do.
Qiao Qiang gripped his walking stick tightly and asked tentatively, "Mei Mei?"
Hearing this voice, Qiao Mei stopped and looked up at her grandfather.
Seriously?
Based on how this body looked, how could he call out the name "Mei
If outsiders heard him, they would think that he was calling out to a pretty young lady.
However, Qiao Mei also knew that in her past life, he was indeed the only person in the world who truly and sincerely treated her well, almost to the extent of giving in to her every whim.
Qiao Qiang was a veteran who had an honorable discharge from the army and had received all kinds of medals. Even though he was retired now, he was still drawing a salary from the country.
By the year 73, his salary had already hit 60 dollars. Every month, there were also various subsidies given by the village which were not even available to city workers.
However, Qiao Qiang had used all of this on the original owner of the body. That was how he raised the original owner of the body into a Black Bear Spirit.
"Aiyo, Mei Mei! What's going on? Why are you suddenly washing your clothes?" Qiao Qiang quickly made his way into the courtyard with his walking stick.
He knew his own granddaughter's temperament the best. It was impossible for her to be washing clothes. Given that she was washing such a big basin of clothes, had she been agitated by something?
Could it be… that she wanted to leave a good impression on Xia Zhe?
Alright!
That would be great! He was still afraid that Xia Zhe would dislike Qiao Mei as the person she was. It would be great if she was willing to make changes.
At this thought, Qiao Qiang smiled and said, "Mei Mei, look. Grandfather has bought the meat. Once the meat is cooked later, you and Xia Zhe should nourish yourselves well."
As he spoke, he shifted his gaze towards the house. The moment he caught sight of it, he was shocked. The three rooms looked so different that he could barely recognize them.
The originally dusty floor had become spotless and the only piece of glass had been wiped clean. The table was clean with two teacups and a teapot sitting on it.
However, he did not see Xia Zhe.
"Where is Xia Zhe?" Qiao Qiang frowned. There was a sharp gleam in his turbid eyes, revealing a fierce aura that made people scared to look at him directly.
As expected from a veteran from the battlefield!
Domineering! Mighty!
Qiao Mei could not help but take a deep breath, feeling respect for this crippled veteran in front of her.
Now that she was in this body, the twins in her stomach were hers, this grandfather was naturally also hers.
"Grandfather, don't just stand outside. You've walked such a long distance, let me help you inside to take a rest!"
Qiao Mei stood up and wiped her hands on her clothes. She took the meat from his hands and helped him into the house.
Kapitel 7: No Wonder
Redakteur: Atlas Studios
Qiao Mei helped her grandfather into the house and poured some water into the clean teacup.
Based on her past memories, her grandfather's body was exhausted and he was about to pass away. She only had these few months left to show her filial piety.
Qiao Qiang blankly took the water that was offered to him and stared at the clean table and spotless floor in front of him.
Qiao Mei knew in her heart that it was because she had made too big a change to herself, leaving him unable to react.
The original owner of the body never had a kind face towards this elderly relative of hers. She would scream and shout all day long, pulling a long face from time to time, as if her grandfather was her enemy.
"Grandfather, I've grown up. I didn't do well in the past, but now I want to change. I hope that from today onwards, everything will be renewed!" Qiao Mei looked at her grandfather's eyes and sincerely said to him.
"Ah! Okay! Okay!"
When Qiao Qiang heard this, tears welled up in his eyes. He lowered his head and drank water to hide his emotions.
"Drink slowly, don't scald yourself."
"Ah! Good, good, good! I'm fine!"
Qiao Qiang swallowed the water and nodded repeatedly. However, he quickly realized that something was wrong and asked, "What about him? Where's Xia Zhe?"
"He had a mission, so he left first," Qiao Mei explained.
"What? He left just like that? He didn't say anything?" Grandpa's eyes widened instantly, looking fierce.
"Grandfather… what else do you want him to say?" Qiao Mei sat by the side and said slowly, "In the first place, we are the ones in the wrong. We are already very lucky that he doesn't pursue the matter."
"But… but…" He looked at Qiao Mei, whose dark face reflected the light in the room. Then he thought of Xia Zhe, who would be considered a good catch, and there was no way he could say that his granddaughter was taken advantage of.
"But if you don't marry him, how are you going to survive in the future? You don't know how to cook and you don't know how to do farm work! We can only keep this house because I'm still here. When I die, Qiao Zhuang's family will definitely snatch the house away. I'm afraid that you will even be sold to a fool!"
Qiao Zhuang was Qiao Qiang's younger blood brother, but Qiao Zhuang was sent to live with another family when he was young so he was not close to Qiao Qiang.
The foster family just left Qiao Zhuang to grow up on his own. Qiao Zhuang got used to being tyrannical in the village and now, one generation later, his son was even more disrespectful and unscrupulous.
If not for the fact that he was still around, no one knew what that family would be capable of doing.
Once he was gone, Qiao Zhuang's family would definitely not let Qiao Mei off. This house and this piece of land would become theirs.
It would not be a problem if they just took the house. He was afraid that they would sell Qiao Mei into the mountain area as a companion for an idiot.
"I heard gossip in the village that they are looking for a husband for you in the mountain area. If you don't find someone to rely on when I'm still alive, you'll be doomed once I die."
Qiao Qiang got so worked up that he gasped and spat out a mouthful of blood on the floor.
"Grandfather!" Qiao Mei's eyes widened. She quickly stood up to walk to her grandfather's side and said calmly, "Grandfather, don't be anxious. I didn't tell you the truth just now. Actually, he said he would come and marry me in a month!"
"He did? Really?" Qiao Qiang quickly asked.
"It's true, it's true!" Qiao Mei nodded quickly and then pointed at the jade pendant on her neck. "It's definitely true. If you don't believe me, look at this jade pendant on my neck. It's the keepsake he left behind!"
Qiao Qiang shifted his gaze to the piece of jade. It was crystal clear and suffused with a faint green glow. It was obviously something nice.
He had roamed the world for half his life, so he was still able to judge things for what they were.
"Did you steal this?" Qiao Qiang asked hesitantly.
"Grandfather, do you think I'm someone who would steal things?" With Qiao Qiang's retirement salary, he was the richest person in the village. He never treated Qiao Mei poorly when it came to her sustenance. It was impossible that the original owner of the body would steal anything.
"That's right, that's right! Our Mei Mei has never taken anything from anyone else!" Qiao Qiang's eyes disappeared into a smile as he thought of this, seemingly proud of himself. "It's all grandfather's fault! I shouldn't have doubted our Mei Mei!"
"Grandfather, don't worry. From today onwards, I will work hard to change. If I don't know how to do farm work, I will learn. I will also learn how to cook. I will definitely not be worse than other people's daughters!"
"Yes, yes, yes! In the past, Mei Mei was just too lazy to learn. As long as Mei Mei made up her mind, she would definitely be better than other girls. Let's see who dares to belittle our Mei Mei in the future."
Qiao Qiang grinned, his face filled with relief and hope.
