After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! Chapter 158 - Chance Encounter

Qiao i placed the waterlons on Zhao Liang’s table and said, “Uncle, take these two waterlons to quench your thirst in the sumr.”

“Oh, no, no! It’s my duty to help the people in the village. Qiao i, quickly take it back.” Zhao Liang pushed away the waterlons that Qiao i gave.

“Uncle! It’s not specially for you. The last ti, didn’t auntie say that she liked the waterlons from my house and that she thought they were sweet. Please take it that I have brought them for auntie and accept them,” Qiao i said.

When he heard that the waterlons were for his wife, he felt that he had no reason to reject them. Zhao Liang took the waterlons and placed them under the table. “Then I thank you on behalf of your auntie.”

“Uncle Zhao, don’t stand on ceremony with . By the way, I need your help with sothing,” Qiao i said.

Zhao Liang patted his chest and said, “Then why are you standing on ceremony with ? If there’s anything you need, just say it and I’ll help you with it.”

“It’s just that after I leave, there’ll be no one to take care of my mother given that my grandfather is old. Today, I went to the county city to buy sothing and ran into my mother’s current mother-in-law and stepson. They tried to find trouble with my mother but at least I was around today. When I’m not around, they might bully her and extort money from her. Uncle, can you keep an eye on my mother and also not let those people enter the village,” Qiao i asked.

“What a thing to happen! They’re really too much! They’ve really gone overboard!” Zhao Liang banged the table and scolded.

“Uncle, don’t be angry.” Qiao i quickly stopped Zhao Liang.

“Don’t worry, Qiao i. Your mother is from our village after all. Since she’s from our village, Uncle will take care of her. Don’t worry,” Zhao Liang promised Qiao i.

“Aye! Thank you, Uncle! Then I’m so relieved. Uncle, I’ll be leaving now. My grandfather is still waiting for at ho.” Qiao i smiled brightly upon knowing that Zhao Liang had agreed to her request and slowly walked towards the door to leave.

...

“Alright, go back slowly and give my regards to your grandfather. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely help you with what you told .” Zhao Liang stood at the door of the house and looked at Qiao i.

“Yes, then I’ll be leaving, Uncle!” Qiao i waved goodbye to Zhao Liang.

The brigade office was located at the left corner of the village entrance and was not very far away. As soon as Qiao i ca out, she bumped into Qiao Yu, who was returning to the village. Usually, Qiao i would pretend not to see her and just walk away. However, it was such a coincidence today that she just caught a glimpse of a figure that looked like Qiao Yu in the county city and now, Qiao Yu was returning from outside the village the sa night.

Qiao Yu also saw Qiao i and lowered her head to run away, but Qiao i blocked her way.

“Qiao Yu, why are you back so late? Did you go to the county city?” Qiao i asked.

“No, I just… I just ca back from work.” Qiao Yu lied awkwardly, wondering what excuse she could use to make Qiao i let her go.

Qiao i smiled and did not say anything. She just turned around and left.?Those who went to work would not return at this hour, they would have co back long ago. It was obvious that Qiao Yu had gone out of the village and did not go to work.?On the way back, Qiao i went to Auntie Dong’s house for a chat. Coincidentally, Auntie Wang was also there today, which made it a much more interesting day.

“Qiao i, you’re here!” Auntie Dong welcod Qiao i warmly and set up a stool for her.

“Auntie Dong, Auntie Wang, good to see that you’re free today. You’re both here.” Qiao i did not stand on ceremony and sat on the stool to chat with them.

“Sigh, now that you ntion it. The rainy season has just passed and the mushrooms in the mountains have long been emptied. Also, the children from your family are really tireless. Zhang Wei brings his brothers and sisters to the mountains to pick vegetables every day. He’s such a sensible boy,” Auntie Dong praised.

“You don’t say! Zhang Wei and the rest of the kids are really sensible. If my child is half as sensible as Zhang Wei, life would be much easier for .” Auntie Wang sighed.

“I think the children are too bored. I told them that there’s always things to eat in the mountains and they’ve never seen it in the city. They’re at the age when they’re curious, which is why they go up the mountain every day. They’re not as good as you say,” Qiao i said humbly.
