Kapitel 15: Finding Reason to Ask for Food

Redakteur: 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.

He stood behind Qiao Mei and did not speak. He wanted to see what other surprises his granddaughter had up her sleeves.

If Qiao Mei knew how to strike while it is hot, then Qiao Zhuang knew how to launch an attack through a barrier.

He looked directly at Qiao Qiang, who was behind Qiao Mei. "Today, your two nieces-in-law kindly came to help you remove weeds and plow the earth. Why aren't you willing to let them do that? Are you afraid that they won't do it well? Even if they don't, then one of your nephews should be able to do it properly, right? You're sick so your own family needs to come and help you."

"Let them help you with the planting this year alright? Go, go, go. Go do some work for your uncle."

Qiao Hong waved his hand to command his sons and grandsons behind him.

Hearing what he said, the few people behind him immediately picked up their hoes and rushed into the field to start work noisily.

Qiao Mei's expression darkened. This bunch of people are really like bandits. They can't justify themselves so they are going to just snatch what they want?

Qiao Mei smiled sweetly and asked loudly, "Second Grandpa Qiao, we're relatives. If you're here to help with farming, you won't charge us for it right?"

"Look at this silly child. What nonsense are you spouting? We're such close relatives, why would we charge you?"

Qiao Zhuang glared at Qiao Mei and continued to speak.

Qiao Mei smiled. "If you don't accept money, then when the crops are ripe, you won't righteously come over to take the vegetables right? When the time comes, you'll say that you guys did the planting? Or that you are coming to borrow some vegetables and will return them another time?"

Before Qiao Zhuang could say anything, the people from the Qiao family working in the field stopped what they were doing. They looked at Qiao Mei in shock as they did not expect her to think of all these.

"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?"


Kapitel 16: Bad Intentions

Redakteur: Atlas Studios

Qiao Mei's village was in a mountainous area, so all the neighbors were located far away from one another.

However, the aggressive manner in which Qiao Zhuang and his family rushed to Qiao Mei's courtyard meant that the act was witnessed by many people.

These people did not crowd around to join in as this was a family matter between Qiao Qiang and Qiao Zhuang and both of them had strong personalities.

If this was happening at someone else's house, the busybodies would have come over to add their few cents' worth.

However, what Qiao Mei said was indeed not very appropriate. In that era when village life was pure and simple, it was very usual for people in the countryside to take food from one another. It was not considered as being demanding.

"Auntie, your words are really interesting. Relatives sharing vegetables?" Qiao Mei's expression darkened and she said mockingly, "In the village, who doesn't know that my family doesn't have enough vegetables to eat? We still go out to buy vegetables every month, so which one of your families are we supposed to share vegetables with? When I was young, I went to pick vegetables at your place and even got kicked out with a beating!"

This incident happened five years ago. At that time, the original owner of the body was going through puberty.. When there were no more vegetables left in the house, she was so hungry that she ran to Qiao Zhuang's vegetable garden to ask for a bunch of vegetables, but was kicked out in the end.

Big Auntie Qiao also felt a little embarrassed when she thought of this matter, but she still continued to say stubbornly, "Your family has two people, but our family has more than ten people. How do we have food for you?"

"Yes! That's the logic!" Qiao Mei said loudly. "In that case, my family also doesn't have enough food. Why should I let you pick any?"

This sentence completely shut Big Auntie Qiao up, her own words being used against her in such a manner that she could not rebut.

Qiao Zhuang's family looked at Qiao Mei and then at Qiao Zhuang. The atmosphere had become awkward.

Qiao Zhuang stared at Qiao Mei wordlessly.

The neighbors who had come over looked at Qiao Mei in surprise. They could not imagine that these clear and logical words were coming out of the mouth of this simple-minded person.

Qiao Qiang stood at the back with his eyes slightly red.

Qiao Mei looked at Qiao Zhuang and said in a straightforward manner, "Second Grandpa, if you really want to help us, then grandfather and I will always remember this kindness. But if your intention is to use this reason to come over and take my family's land, then that's impossible!"

As soon as she said that, everyone was stunned and fell silent.

Qiao Zhuang sized Qiao Mei up, no one knew what he was thinking. In the end, he shouted, "Go! Let's go back!"

His voice was curt and his words clearly revealed his intentions. His motive was to seize this piece of land.

Although, based on his character, it was not as if he needed to hide his intentions. After all, he was the biggest bully in the village. Did bullies need self respect?

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhuang's family collectively put away their hoes and followed Qiao Zhuang out.

Before leaving, they glared fiercely at Qiao Mei.

Qiao Zhuang had five sons in total. His third and fourth sons had moved out while the other three sons still lived with him.

As long as they still lived with him, they would not be able to get a share of land in the village.

The eldest son of the Qiao family had three sons, the second son had three sons and two daughters and the youngest son was 25 years old and still unmarried.

With more than 10 people living in a small house, the vegetables they grew at home was truly not enough to feed all of them.

They were just waiting for Qiao Qiang to die so that they could take over his land.

"Wait!" Qiao Mei suddenly shouted.

The Qiao family stopped in their steps and Qiao Zhuang turned around, frowning at Qiao Mei.

"Second Grandpa, as you know, my grandfather is sick. The relationship between our two families isn't too good so there is no need for you all to visit him in the future! Otherwise, I will think that you have evil intentions and want to use this opportunity to anger my grandpa to death so that you can seize my family's land."

These words were so brutally frank that they caused the entire atmosphere to freeze up immediately.

Qiao Zhuang glared at Qiao Mei fiercely with menace in his eyes.

However, Qiao Mei was not afraid at all. In her other life, she was a lawyer who specialized in criminal cases. What kind of difficult situations had she not seen before?

In the few years when her career was going well, the cases she worked on got more and more high profile. All the defendants she had encountered were vicious and evil people, no less worse than Qiao Zhuang.

In comparison, Qiao Zhuang's gaze was not threatening at all.

As for those vicious and evil people, they still ended up at her mercy and were all sentenced to death. Hence, everyone in the industry had called her the "Sword of Justice".

Qiao Zhuang furrowed his brows. He never thought that the previously silly Qiao Mei would be so bold.

Qiao Zhuang turned to look at Qiao Qiang and said, "Big brother, does that mean that you're not going to acknowledge me as your younger brother?"

When Qiao Qiang heard that, he looked over with inscrutable eyes and said, "It's been 65 years and I finally hear you call me Big Brother. How rare it is."

Qiao Zhuang's face sank.
