After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!
Chapter 590 - 590 Someone Backing Her Up590 Someone Backing Her Up
Chen Hu spotted Qiao Mei the moment she arrived.
Chen Hu ran over enthusiastically and said, “Mei Mei, you’re here!”
“Uncle Hu? Why are you here?” Qiao Mei asked Chen Hu in surprise.
“I’ll tell you about these later. Are you here to join in?” Chen Hu asked.
“I heard that something happened to their family, so I came over to take a look. I didn’t expect Uncle Hu to be the one in charge. This is very surprising,” Qiao Mei said.
“By the way, how has your grandfather been recently? Is he angry with me because of them?” Chen Hu asked nervously.
This time, the arrival of the Liang siblings made Chen Hu see through their intentions clearly. Back then, he had mistrusted them and caused so much trouble for Qiao Qiang.
“Grandfather won’t dwell on it. Don’t worry, Uncle Hu. He has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He won’t really get angry with you,” Qiao Mei said.
“Then what’s your grandfather’s attitude towards them? I hope they didn’t anger the old master,” Chen Hu asked hesitantly.
Qiao Mei noticed that people around were looking at them and said in a low voice, “Let’s talk about this when we get home. Grandfather’s anger has already subsided.”
Chen Hu nodded and went back to deal with Qiao Zhuang’s matter. When everyone saw the way Qiao Mei and Chen Hu chatted, they now knew that Qiao Mei had the backing of the armed forces department.
What happened at Qiao Zhuang’s house today was actually a show of support for Qiao Mei!
Let’s see who else in this village would dare to lay their hands on Qiao Mei and Qiao Qiang!
After everything ended, Chen Hu asked his team to head back in the vehicle. When he was ready to go, he would contact Xiaobei to pick him up.
“Uncle Hu, you’re in for a treat today. I’ll make you a dish of stewed goose!” Qiao Mei said happily.
Chen Hu could be considered a highly paid employee in this region. Not only did he get food stamps and cloth stamps every month, but he also received all kinds of subsidies during festive seasons. He was paid 60 dollars a month and should have no worries about his daily expenses.
However, after Chen Hu’s wife gave birth, she had not been in good health and became sickly. Chen Hu had even asked someone to bring her medicine from the capital.
In addition, Chen Hu’s wife still had to stay at home to take care of the children. His expenses were high, so he did not have the spare money to eat meat often.
“Mei Mei is so generous! But your Uncle Hu just needs to eat some of your pickled vegetables. I won’t eat the goose,” Chen Hu said, feeling consoled.
Nowadays, a big goose could sell for 10 dollars! For ordinary rural families, 10 dollars was enough to support a family for more than three months.
It would be good to keep this goose for Qiao Qiang to nourish his body. It was going to be winter soon and the road to the county city would be even more difficult to walk on. It was better for them to hold on to whatever good things they had.
“Don’t worry, Uncle Hu. We can’t finish all the chickens, ducks and geese we have at home! I have many!” Qiao Mei whispered.
No one in the village knew about this. They only knew that Qiao Mei’s family raised pigs, but they did not know that Qiao Mei also had more than 20 domestic fowl at the back of her courtyard. Just the eggs laid by the hens provided her family with countless eggs to eat every month.
When Chen Hu heard what Qiao Mei said, he did not stand on ceremony with her.
“Then do you have cabbages and mushrooms at home! I like to eat goose stewed in a big pot. The taste is simply delicious!” Chen Hu was almost drooling as he spoke.
Qiao Mei smiled and said, “Yes, we have whatever you want to add!”
She had intended to make more food tonight and to ask Li Gui and the four children to come over to eat. However, now that Chen Hu was also around tonight, it was awkward for him to sit at the same table as Li Gui. Otherwise, the past would embarrass them both again. When the food was ready, she would ask Zhang Wei to bring some back.
As they chatted while they walked, they soon reached the courtyard door. Chen Hu stood at the door and did not dare to take another step forward. Seeing this, Qiao Mei pulled Chen Hu into the courtyard.
Chen Hu looked at Qiao Mei in shock. He did not expect a pregnant woman to be so strong! He was not even able to resist!
“Grandfather! We’re back!” Qiao Mei returned home happily.
Chen Hu walked into the courtyard with a frightened expression. Qiao Qiang was originally smiling when he walked out of the house, but the moment he saw Chen Hu, his face instantly fell.
“Oh, Chen Hu is here,” Qiao Qiang said coldly.
“Aye, I’m here. How have you been recently?” Chen Hu said awkwardly.
Qiao Mei stood at the side and watched the weird greeting between the two men. Those who did not know better would think that this was the first time they were meeting each other.
“Grandfather~ Look, it’s not easy for Uncle Hu to come by. Why are you still like this? Uncle Hu already knows his mistake. Don’t be angry,” Qiao Mei said sweetly.
