After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! - Chapter 52

Chapter 52: I Was Bullied!

It also said that the sewing machine, radio and watch was hidden under the bed and placed among the firewood in the east room. It also told Qiao Mei where everything else was hidden.

After Qiao Mei heard everything, she smiled and left.

Now was not the time to fight them head-on. She was much more precious than this group of people.

When Qiao Mei returned, she saw that her grandfather was actually still awake, desperately trying to stay awake just to wait for her.

He only fell into a deep sleep after making sure that Qiao Mei was fine.

The next morning, Qiao Mei carried her basket and went to the city alone.

She had experience now after her grandfather showed her the way yesterday.

Chen Hu, who had been waiting in the office for a long time, heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly let Xiao Liu take over the basket.

Yesterday, he had already contacted the people he was going to send the produce to. If Qiao Mei did not turn up today, it would be hard for him to explain himself. Others would think that he was hiding these bean sprouts from them.

At least she was here now.

…

When she got there, the first thing Qiao Mei said was, “Uncle Chen, I was bullied by someone in the village!”

Her voice was righteous and very loud.

Chen Hu was stunned for a moment before he immediately replied, “Who bullied you? Tell uncle quickly so that uncle can stand up for you!”

Behind him, Xiao Liu also nodded hurriedly.

A smile flashed across Qiao Mei’s eyes. This uncle is indeed reliable!

“My betrothal gifts, including the radio, watch and sewing machine, which cost about 700 to 800 dollars, were robbed by my Second Grandpa’s family!” Qiao Mei said.

Chen Hu was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that the type of bullying Qiao Mei meant was something like a simple fight between people of the same age. He did not expect it to involve robbing!

And robbing of betrothal gifts at that!

This was even more unacceptable. He had never heard of anyone robbing betrothal gifts. This was a really wicked thing to do.

“I’ll bring people immediately… No, no, no.” Chen Hu seemed to have thought of something else and continued, “How about this? You bring more than 10 people back with you now and go grab the betrothal gifts back. I want to see who dares to fight back!

“If they dare to fight back, get Xiao Liu to bring them all in!”

At this point, his eyes flared with ferocity.

This was no longer the junior soldier reporting to Qiao Qiang, but the section head of the armed forces department in the city. Whoever dared to provoke him would definitely have to pay the price.

Xiao Liu nodded and went out with the basket of bean sprouts.

“Thank you, Uncle Chen!” Qiao Mei smiled and thanked him.

Chen Hu laughed and then seemed to have thought of something. “Look at the life you’re living now… When you go back, go and persuade your grandfather to look on the bright side of things. Your uncle and auntie didn’t do things on purpose back then. Tell him not to take it to heart.”

“Now… he should be enjoying time with his children and grandchildren. Besides, isn’t the standard of medical care better in the capital now? That’s good news for his illness!”

Qiao Mei was dumbfounded and stunned when she heard this.

What? Uncle and auntie?

In all of Qiao Mei’s past memories, there were no uncles or aunties. Where did the uncle and auntie come from?

Her father was an only child. When she was young, her grandmother was killed by bandits on the mountain, which was the reason why Qiao Qiang joined the army in a fit of anger and became a soldier.

Where did these uncle and auntie come from now?

Ever since Qiao Qiang returned to the village, Qiao Mei had never heard Qiao Qiang mention it nor did she have any impression of it.

Although Qiao Mei was very surprised, she quickly adjusted her expression and said in a light manner to Chen Hu, “Grandfather won’t go to the capital alone to look for them. Grandfather is worried about me.”

“How would he be alone? Your auntie and the others live in a big house in the capital. You’re just one more person and they naturally won’t mind you joining them. Your grandfather won’t be separated from you either.”
