After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! - Chapter 510
510 Pieces of Candy
“Grandfather will definitely listen to Mei Mei and take good care of myself in the future. Mei Mei, don’t cry anymore.” Qiao Qiang took out two pieces of candy from the drawer and showed them to Qiao Mei.
This was Qiao Mei’s favorite candy when she was young. Every time Qiao Mei got angry, he would use this candy to coax her.
“Then it’s a deal. From now on, grandfather will take good care of your health. You still have to look after your great-grandson! He also wants to ask great-grandfather for candy,” Qiao Mei said proudly.
At the mention of Qiao Mei’s baby, Qiao Qiang was overjoyed and said happily, “Yes, yes, yes. I’ll listen to you. Either a boy or a girl is fine! It’s fine!”
!!
Qiao Mei joyfully took the candy from Qiao Qiang’s hand and stuffed one piece into her mouth, giving the other piece to Xia Zhe.
“Grandfather, there’s another piece of good news for you,” Qiao Mei said as she chewed on the candy.
“What is it?” Qiao Qiang asked.
“You’re going to have two great-grandchildren! I’m having twins!” Qiao Mei said.
Twins! He had been in the village for most of his life and had never heard of anyone giving birth to twins. This was such a super joyous occasion and he must put up lanterns and decorations to celebrate it.
“Really? Who told you this news?” Qiao Qiang was overjoyed when he heard the news and the creases on his face became even deeper.
“It’s Xia Zhe’s aunt. She’s a doctor at a big hospital in the capital. It’s definitely true, but grandfather, don’t make it public. I’m just telling you this so that you can be happy too. We’ll tell people about it only after the babies are born,” Qiao Mei said.
“Do you think the twins will look exactly the same, as if they’re carved from the same mold? I’ve met a pair of twins in the army before. Other than their parents, no one can tell who’s who,” Qiao Qiang said as he looked at Qiao Mei’s stomach.
Xia Zhe was actually also very curious about whether they would look very similar. He had never thought about this matter before and was simply just happy about it.
“If they look the same, then it’s better for them to look more like Qiao Mei. She’s beautiful, it will be terrible if they look like me,” Xia Zhe said with a smile.
“It doesn’t matter which of you they look like as long as they’re healthy! Just sit here, I’ll go cook for you! Mei Mei needs more nourishment.” After saying that, Qiao Qiang went to the water vat in the courtyard to get a fish.
The four children had requested for this water vat as they did not have any playmates. There were no pregnant cats or dogs in the village at the moment. Otherwise, he would be able to get a pet animal for the children.
Therefore, he had a big water vat made and put it in the courtyard for the children to raise fish. The fishes they caught during the day also need not die immediately and they could still keep the fishes alive at home for three to four days. In such a way, they would be able to have a supply of fresh fish all the time.
“Ah! Let go of me! I already say I don’t have money!” Suddenly, there were sounds of an argument outside. Qiao Mei listened carefully and knew that it was Li Gui’s voice.
“Oh no! This is my mother’s voice!” Qiao Mei immediately rushed out of the door and Xia Zhe followed her.
Qiao Qiang took the hoe and wanted to go over to help. During this period of time when Qiao Mei was not at home, it was always Qiao Qiang who went over to help chase away those scoundrels from the Zhang family. He was already so old and with his status and position in the village, the Zhang family did not dare to bully him and would leave after a few words.
“Grandfather, we’ll go. You can rest at home,” Xia Zhe said as he stopped Qiao Qiang.
Qiao Qiang held Xia Zhe’s arm and said, “Protect Qiao Mei well. Don’t let her get hurt!”
“Grandfather, don’t worry.” After saying that, Xia Zhe took big strides and chased up with Qiao Mei.
She was not sure if it was a coincidence this time or if it was always so many people from the Zhang family coming to ask for money. Zhang Qian, Zhang Cong and Old Madam Zhang were all here.
At this moment, Zhang Qian was dragging Li Gui by the hair on the ground with one hand and pointing at the children in the courtyard with his other hand, asking them to go get the money quickly.
“Let go of my mother!” Qiao Mei shouted loudly.
The moment Zhang Cong saw Qiao Mei, his eyes lit up. He had not seen her for a few months and her figure had become more and more voluptuous. Ever since he married Sun Yan, he had found her annoying no matter which way he looked at her. Before Sun Yan got pregnant, he had thought that she was quite beautiful.
After Sun Yan got pregnant, she ate a lot more than before and started to lose her figure. These two women were both pregnant, but Qiao Mei just looked so much better.
Xia Zhe also noticed Zhang Cong’s gaze and glared at him fiercely.
