After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! - Chapter 959

959 Emotional
Qiao Mei was so embarrassed that she almost picked up the tea bowl on the table and threw it at Qian’e. This woman only knew how to spout nonsense all day long. Even when they were just having a chat, Qian’e had to say provocative things to agitate her. Perhaps it was a habit that Qian’e had developed over the years.

“In my opinion, there’s no need to put so much pressure on the children. You’re not short of money. Do you think these children won’t have a way out in the future? Look at your mother’s popcorn business. It has almost taken over half the market. I can even buy it near my house. In the future, even if the children just help your mother with her business, they’ll still be notches above everyone else. They don’t necessarily have to study to have a bright future,” Qian’e said in a serious manner.

Qiao Mei did not expect Qian’e to have such foresight. People of this era only wanted their children to study more. They thought that studying was the only way to achieve success and only incapable people would need to go into business.

What Qian’e said did make sense, but if the children wanted to expand the business and make it big, they still needed to have a strong foundation in theoretical knowledge. If they did not have a good foundation, even if the business was handed over to them in the future, they would not be able to achieve much.

Qiao Mei had become a little confused. Qian’e did not live nearby and Li Gui had not gone out to sell goods during this period of time. It was Zhao Fei who had been helping out. How did Qian’e know that Li Gui’s popcorn was still being sold in the market?

“How do you know it’s my mother’s popcorn?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.
“Hmph, although the person selling near my house is an unfamiliar face, the taste is so obvious. In the entire capital, your popcorn is the most delicious. Moreover, the people in my neighborhood will specially wait at the main door to buy popcorn!” Qian’e said.

From the looks of it, they were going to become even more famous. After Qiao Mei gave birth, she should put some thought into opening a shop with Li Gui. Sun Juan and all the other women seemed to be quite decent people. If she got along well with them, she could tell them the formula and get them to join in the production.

“Whether I have money or not has got nothing to do with the children. The Xia family is so rich, but the siblings still had to go through training. Having money is different from having an education,” Qiao Mei said.

Qian’e still had the opposite opinion as Qiao Mei, but she knew that there would definitely be gains from putting in hard work. It was not as if these children were too stupid to be taught. When she was young, she put in a lot of effort to practice the piano. Even when other children went out to play, she would stay at home to practice.

Even when she was in high school, she still carried on practicing the piano. After so many years of consistency, her devotion to the piano was no less than the devotion Xia Zhe and the others gave to their training.

“Because of you, I didn’t manage to go to my other classes tonight. You have to make it up to me!” Qian’e said with a pout.

“Sure, sure, sure. I’ll give you whatever you want!” Qiao Mei said.

Qian’e did not stand on ceremony with Qiao Mei. She stood up and took a look around the room, but there was nothing much to see. Unlike Qiao Mei, she was not interested in antiques, calligraphy and paintings at all and did not care about their value.

However, when she saw the tiger-head shoes that Qiao Mei made for the two babies, she still felt a little bitterness in her heart. She also yearned very much to have a child of her own. If not for her wanton behavior when she was young, she would not be in such a state today.

However, one had to pay the price for one’s actions. She had brought this on herself.

“What are you thinking about?” Qiao Mei asked gently as she stood behind Qian’e.

“Sigh… Why don’t you make me a cute tiger head pillow. I quite like it,” Qian’e said emotionally.

Qiao Mei hesitated for a moment and asked, “Why don’t I make you a big and comfortable pillow so that you can use it properly.”

“Forget it, you should just give me money. Have we discussed the fees for each lesson?” Qian’e turned around and asked.

It could not be said that Qian’e was greedy for money since she came to teach the children even before negotiating the fees. However, it also could not be said that Qian’e was not greedy because she still knew how to bargain for a deal with Qiao Mei.

“How much do you usually charge for a lesson?” Qiao Mei asked.

“It goes by the hour. It’s 10 dollars an hour for a lesson conducted at the student’s house,” Qian’e said.
