1731 Hurry Home to Cook

There were too many people around now, so it was not an appropriate time for Qiao Mei to pass her gifts to Liu Yun. She pulled Liu Yun aside and whispered, “Sister-in-law, I have brought back some peaches and apples. I’ll bring some to you later.”

“No, no! I didn’t help much. These fruits are so expensive. Give them to Xia Fan and Xia Xing!” Liu Yun said.

“Sister-in-law, don’t stand on ceremony with me. These are fruits which I planted myself, not bought from the store! Just eat them without any worries. Besides, the ones I grow are more nutritious than the ones sold outside! I’ll show you later!” Qiao Mei said.

Liu Yun only agreed to accept the gifts after hearing that Qiao Mei had planted them herself. Fruits were very expensive now. She would only buy them during the new year and festive seasons!

Qiao Mei went home first to keep all her new things. Wang Nuo came to Liu Yun’s side and said, “Qiao Mei is really capable. She’s the most capable young wife I’ve ever seen. I’m not half as good as her. I have to learn from her in the future.”

“Come on, your two boys are so obedient because you teach them well. Look at that brat in my house! I don’t even know where he has gone today. You must tell me how to make my children as obedient as yours,” Liu Yun said enviously.

“If you want to talk about being obedient, Qiao Mei’s two babies are so obedient. I’ve never seen such well-behaved babies!” Zhang Cai said as she walked over.

“That’s because she’s a blessed person!” Liu Yun said.

As they chatted, Liu Yun noticed Miao Le, who had been standing at the side all this while. She was still standing at the door and did not leave even after all the goods had been unloaded. Liu Yun walked to Miao Le and said, “What time is it now, why are you still here watching the commotion?”

“I… I’m just taking a look. I’m just passing by,” Miao Le said awkwardly.

“Then go back now. The child will starve if he still doesn’t eat at this hour. You’re an adult, but why don’t you seem to know anything? No wonder Zhuang Zhuang is so skinny. You don’t even feed him properly,” Liu Yun said disdainfully.

“What does it have to do with you whether I go back or not! Why can’t I stay here and look?” Miao Le said stubbornly.

“You’re standing at my door and you’re an eyesore to me. Why don’t you go and take a hike! Don’t bring bad luck to my door! Leave now!” Wang Nuo said as she waved her hand in disdain.

Miao Le ran home crying after being ostracized. Jin Yao was sitting opposite Miao Le’s door and was waiting to see if there was any drama when Miao Le returned. She immediately said, “Oh, you didn’t stay there for a meal this time!”

“It’s none of your business!” Miao Le went in and slammed the door angrily. Jin Yao was not angry at all. The angrier Miao Le was, the more it proved that Qiao Mei did not ask her to stay for a meal.

Zhang Cai laughed as she looked at Wang Nuo and said, “Sister Wang, you’re really good at mocking people. Look, you even made the child cry.”

“As if she’s still a child. If she’s a sensible person, she should take good care of Zhuang Zhuang! I just find her annoying. She can ask her brother-in-law to come and look for me if she wants! My husband dotes on me the most and definitely won’t let me be bullied!” Wang Nuo said proudly.

Wang Nuo’s husband was Tian Jun’s superior, which was why Wang Nuo dared to scold Miao Le, knowing that Miao Le would not dare to retaliate!

When it was time for lunch, everyone went home to cook. Miao Le had no choice but to take out two eggs from the egg basket to make steamed egg for Zhuang Zhuang. If Zhuang Zhuang’s health did not improve, she would be sent back to her hometown!

Tian Jun already knew about the money she hid away. If anything should happen to Zhuang Zhuang, she would really have no way out!

After Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe finished their meal at home, she brought some fruits to Liu Yun’s house. Liu Yun was the only one at home at noon, so she only had a simple meal of noodles.

“Sister-in-law, I’m here with fruits!” Qiao Mei handed the fruits to Liu Yun.

Liu Yun took one out from the bag. This was the first time she had seen such a big peach and it looked so fresh and delicious.

“You grow this yourself? It looks so good!” Liu Yun said in surprise.

“My husband’s grandmother left us a house with a big courtyard. I have nothing to do at home, so I plant a few fruit trees. These are from the current harvest. Perhaps it’s because the seeds are good varieties. The harvest this year is especially good!” Qiao Mei said happily.
