After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

645 Do Not Care Anymore

Zhang Wei returned happily with the medicine in one hand and the change in the other hand.

Actually, Zhang Miao had already run out of medicine two days ago. If they did not get more, Zhang Miao’s condition would only get worse and worse. Recently, Li Gui had been getting up very early and going to the black market to sell vegetables in the wee hours of the morning. She had tried her best to earn money, but in the end, she still did not manage to make enough for the medical fees.

Now that Qiao Mei bought the medicine, it meant that Zhang Miao was saved!

The doctor had told him that as long as Zhang Miao took her medicine on time, she would definitely get better!

“Eh? Elder sister, why are you leaving?” Zhang Wei saw Qiao Mei coming out angrily. He handed the money in his hand to Qiao Mei and said, “Elder sister, this is the change. Here you go.”

Qiao Mei took a cursory look and realized that this amount of money should be enough for Li Gui to treat Old Madam Li. She said to Zhang Wei sulkily, “Give it to your mother! I don’t want this money anymore!”

Why was she angry all of a sudden? She was fine when she came over just now?

Zhang Wei looked at the worried-looking Li Gui in the courtyard and then at Qiao Mei who had left. Li Gui must have said something that made Qiao Mei unhappy again. He was already used to such situations.

Li Gui did not have time to go after Qiao Mei. She snatched the money from Zhang Wei’s hand and counted it carefully. There was still more than 30 dollars left. She had 20 dollars from selling vegetables recently. An amount of 50 dollars would definitely be enough to see a doctor at the clinic!

That was all she had.

Li Gui put the money into her pocket and entered the house. She said to Zhao Hong, “Let’s go! We’ll go back now!”

“But there’s no transport to go back now,” Zhao Hong said awkwardly.

There was a horse carriage in the village that was specially used for transportation. As long as they were willing to pay the coachman more money, he would definitely be able to leave now. Saving a life was more important and she could not afford to waste even a minute!

“Come with me! I’ll go look for the horse carriage!” The two of them ran out in a hurry. Li Gui did not even take another glance at Zhang Wei. She only had eyes for Old Madam Li now and completely ignored this family and Qiao Mei.

Perhaps she had already taken for granted that because Qiao Mei loved these children, as long as Qiao Mei was around, these children would not starve to death.

Li Gui did not realize that the children were starting to drift apart from her.

Zhang Qin walked up to Zhang Wei in a daze and asked, “Eldest brother, where did mom go? I’m hungry…”

Zhang Wei sat at the door. He was still young and could not support his younger siblings at all, and he was too embarrassed to face Qiao Mei.

He buried his head tightly between his knees. At this moment, he could no longer withstand the torment in his heart and wailed loudly. Zhang Qin looked at her sobbing brother and was caught off-guarded. Then, she started crying as well.

Qiao Qiang stood at the entrance of his courtyard and looked across anxiously. He had just opened the door and was about to go over to take a look at these children when he was reprimanded by Qiao Mei.

“Grandfather! If you go over, then it means you don’t want me anymore!” Qiao Mei said angrily.

Qiao Qiang retracted his foot. In the end, he chose Qiao Mei. After all, Qiao Mei was his most precious granddaughter.

“Say, if you’re angry with your mother, why is it affecting these children as well?” Qiao Qiang sighed and said.

“Do you think I want to be angry with her! It’s because she insisted on walking into a trap! I won’t care this time! I won’t care about anyone else! She just knows that these children have become obedient and sensible and that we can help to take care of them, so now she’s helping Old Madam Li even though she knows it makes me angry!” Qiao Mei said in exasperation.

Qiao Qiang could not say anything about this matter. In his eyes, they were both at fault.

Qiao Mei’s fault was that she spoke too bluntly and could be too hurtful. Her unforgiving manner was indeed a little similar to him, but he could not blame Qiao Mei.

If Qiao Mei was like Li Gui, she would not have been able to last until he came back, and would have died in the snow when she was young.

“Mei Mei, you’re pregnant so don’t be so agitated. Let’s not care about their lives, alright? Even if those children starve to death or die of illness, we don’t care! Let them fend for themselves!” Qiao Qiang went along with Qiao Mei’s wishes.

Yet Qiao Mei could not bear to hear this. As she listened to Zhang Wei and Zhang Qin crying louder and louder, she could not help but look over.

What if they really starved to death when Li Gui was not at home?

Those children did not know how to cook. What if they were so hungry that they ate raw and cold food?
