591 Wishful Thinking
On account of Qiao Mei, Qiao Qiang did not want to argue with Chen Hu about these issues anymore. After all, Chen Hu had also been tricked by the Liang siblings.
When Qiao Mei saw that Qiao Qiang did not say anything, she knew that her grandfather had forgiven Chen Hu.
“Grandfather, why don’t you go to the backyard and kill a big goose. I have a craving for goose,” Qiao Mei said.
Qiao Qiang nodded and went to the backyard to get one. It used to be Qiao Mei doing these chores, but now that she was pregnant, she could not do such gory stuff.
The villagers had told Qiao Qiang that it would be too inauspicious, so Qiao Qiang had been doing this type of chores ever since.
“Let me do it!” Chen Hu volunteered.
Qiao Mei pressed Chen Hu down on the chair and said, “It’s fine. Let my grandfather do it. We don’t do much farming now and there’s not much work to do. It’s good for him to get some exercise.”
When Chen Hu heard what Qiao Mei said, he did not argue with her about it and sat down obediently.
“You don’t know the details about the matter with Qiao Yu yet, right? It was Xia Zhe who asked me to handle it,” Chen Hu said.
“Xia Zhe? What has it got to do with him?” Qiao Mei asked in surprise.
“It’s a long story. Qiao Yu seemed to have met Xia Zhe somewhere and asked him to take her with him. I won’t tell you what she said, but if I don’t know about the truth between the two of you, I would really have believed her. However, don’t worry, Xia Zhe didn’t do anything that he shouldn’t have done,” Chen Hu said.
boxn ov el. c o mQiao Mei narrowed her eyes. She had thought that Qiao Yu only dared to eye Xia Zhe secretly and that the most she dared to do was to find a chance to talk to Xia Zhe. She did not expect Qiao Yu to go and ask Xia Zhe to take her in.
She decided that she needed to find an opportunity to teach that girl a lesson and let her know who Xia Zhe was in a relationship with!
Her man was not someone that anyone could look at and think of!
“I trust him. He won’t do such a thing,” Qiao Mei said confidently.
Chen Hu slapped his thigh vigorously and said happily, “I know you won’t misunderstand! I just want to make this clear to you. After all… ahem, after all, doesn’t Xia Zhe have a special fetish? He doesn’t like bamboo poles like Qiao Yu! Don’t worry!”
Qiao Mei could understand what Chen Hu said just now, but now she could not.
What special fetish? Was there something else about Xia Zhe that she did not know?
At this moment, Xia Zhe had just arrived in the capital and sneezed twice. He thought to himself, “Have I caught a cold?”
“Ah… Then did you receive the letter I wrote to you? What did you arrange for Liu Ying?” Qiao Mei asked.
“She’s in another city now and her daughter is also doing very well. Don’t worry, I’ve made all the arrangements. I won’t tell you this matter in detail, in case Qiao Zhuang’s family finds out and comes looking for trouble with you,” Chen Hu said.
“Uncle Hu is so thoughtful,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.
Chen Hu only knew that the Liang siblings had brought their children to visit Qiao Qiang, but he did not know what actually happened. All he knew was what Qiao Mei told him about the incidents in the capital.
“Mei Mei, tell me, what do those people from the Liang family want coming here?” Chen Hu purposely whispered when he spoke about the Liang family, afraid that Qiao Qiang would be unhappy again if he heard it.
“It’s still the same thing. It’s just that this time, they even make use of the children. Grandfather was originally still quite nice to the children, but the way those people had educated the two children is really indescribable. When grandfather saw that, he became even angrier,” Qiao Mei said with a sigh.
Chen Hu could also understand how Qiao Qiang felt. Qiao Qiang had brought up those two children single-handedly. When the children were still in infancy, the two Liang siblings had left the children to Qiao Qiang and did not care about the three of them at all.
When Qiao Qiang lost his value to their family and had to return the children to them, it was a huge blow to Qiao Qiang at that time. Fortunately, he still had Qiao Mei. Otherwise, his life after returning to the village would have been very tough.
“It’s all my fault. If I didn’t trust them, I wouldn’t have caused you both so much trouble,” Chen Hu said self-reproachfully.
“They came again yesterday, but grandfather wasn’t at home. I don’t know if they’ll come again in the future, but grandfather has already made it very clear that he won’t have anything to do with them anymore,” Qiao Mei said.
Chen Hu nodded. Back then, he just wanted Qiao Qiang to enjoy life in his old age and also to experience the joys of family life. He thought that it would be nice if Qiao Qiang could spend his days in the capital with his children and grandchildren by his side.
He did not expect the two siblings in the capital to be so heartless and that they actually only wanted Qiao Qiang to go back and help them solve their problem. Such wishful thinking on their part.
