After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

839 Red Ribbon

The Xia family was concerned that Qiao Mei would have an emergency and that they would not be able to protect her in time. The He family was just as worried as the Xia family, but their concern was that if anything happened to Qiao Mei, their ginseng supplier would be gone.

This was a huge matter for them. Without the ginsengs, He Ning would not be able to live for long.

Li Gui told Qiao Mei about the tricks and techniques which she used during labor, but she did not elaborate on the difficulties she encountered during labor. Since ancient times, women going through labor were tantamount to having a close shave with death.

Qiao Mei actually knew that these two babies would be born successfully and that she would be well and alive. However, she was still afraid of things that she had not experienced before. The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, especially since Xia Zhe was not by her side. She had not been in contact with Xia Zhe for a long time and he was always on her mind.

After they chatted, Li Gui also returned to her house. Qiao Mei put away all the things she had made for the babies and fell asleep.

At dawn, Li Gui started to clean up the courtyard again. She was someone who could not stay idle. Even if she was living a good life now, she still maintained all her old habits.

Xia He kept her promise and brought over Qiao Mei’s custom-made popcorn bags. She tactfully parked the car in front of Li Gui’s house so that she did not wake Qiao Mei up.

She did not want to get scolded! The last time she went to look for Qiao Mei early in the morning, she was almost frightened to death by Qiao Mei’s dark expression.

It was enough for her to experience this kind of thing once. She did not want to experience it a second time.

“Auntie! Why are you up so early?” Xia He smiled as she walked into the courtyard.

Li Gui was so happy that she immediately put down the broom in her hand and went over with a smile. “I’m used to waking up so early for most of my life. Why did you come and look for me first today?”

“I’m just scared that Qiao Mei will scold me. Auntie, look, these are the bags you wanted. There are also red ribbons which are also made by their factory! These ribbons are a gift from them as it’s a new product. They want to know if it’s easy to use, so I ask them to give us some to try,” Xia He said.

Li Gui’s original idea was to use a red string and simply tie it tightly. However, this would waste a lot of time. The time needed to tie a red string would be enough to fill up two bags of popcorn.

Xia He had also considered this point. During this period of time, she had gone around to look at ribbons. Beautiful ready-made ribbons were very expensive. Given that they had kept their cost low at the moment, it would not be worth it if the packaging increased their cost.

Now that she managed to get hold of a batch of ready-to-use red ribbons and resolved Li Gui’s pressing need, she could slowly set about discussing a collaboration with the factory in the future.

“It looks so good. This is the first time I’ve seen such a convenient thing! Thank you so much. You must eat here today! I’ll go and cook now!” Li Gui said excitedly as she held Xia He’s hand.

She had specially put aside a big fish today to make some soup for Qiao Mei. Since Xia He was here, she would make a dish of braised fish instead and buy a bigger and better one for Qiao Mei tomorrow.

“Sure! I like Auntie’s cooking! Let me help you!” Xia He said.

Li Gui did not reject the offer. She really needed help. Not only did she have to cook for the four children, but also Qiao Mei and her grandfather. There was also Xia He today.

There were four adults and four children to feed. She could not handle making a table full of dishes by herself.

“Sure!” Li Gui said happily.

“Auntie, why are the children in our family more obedient than others? Auntie, how did you educate them?” Xia He asked out of curiosity.

She had come across many children of relatives, neighbors and friends. Every child would cry and throw a tantrum. Even the more obedient ones would do surprising things from time to time. However, Li Gui’s four children were very sensible. She did not know how they were brought up so well.

“These children were also little rascals in the eyes of others in the beginning. You don’t know this, right? Zhang Wei and Zhang Chao didn’t even acknowledge me as their mother in the past! This was all instigated by my then husband and mother-in-law,” Li Gui said helplessly.

Xia He really did not know that the matter was so serious in the past. She said worriedly, “Oh, I’ve said something wrong. Auntie, don’t be sad…”

Li Gui shook her head indifferently. She would not be sad about the past. She just felt emotional as she did not expect the children to change so much, and her life to also change so drastically.

She had to thank Qiao Mei for all this. It was Qiao Mei who gave her a chance of survival.
