1214 Give Us Two Bottles
Jiang Yi rolled her eyes angrily. How rude! Previously, when she saw Qiao Mei at Qiao Mei’s house, she did not think that Qiao Mei was very good-looking. However, with a closer look now, Qiao Mei was really quite good-looking. She did not look like an unruly girl from the countryside at all, but like a young lady from a rich family.
Qiao Mei also looked very elegant. This was the first time Tan Yue met Qiao Mei and it was completely different from what she remembered hearing. She thought people said that Qiao Mei was a fatty weighing more than 200 pounds? At that time, she had wondered if Xia Zhe had taken a fancy to some kind of monster.
In the end… she turned out to be such a beautiful woman… No wonder Xia Zhe got married so quickly…
Qiao Mei immediately noticed the look in Tan Yue’s eyes. A woman’s sixth sense was always spot on. She vaguely felt that Tan Yue was a little hostile towards her. She could not explain it, but there was just something wrong.
However, it was no surprise at all. Xia Zhe had so much romance luck, perhaps this person was also another one of his admirers?
Qiao Mei felt a little unhappy. She would settle the score with Xia Zhe when he returned later. For now, she must deal with these two people first.
“Oh my!” Before Jiang Yi could say anything, Xu Lan stopped her.
“Speak softly. The children are still sleeping and Qiao Mei also can’t stand loud noises,” Xu Lan said with a frown.
“Fine, fine, fine. I understand. I’ll speak softly,” Jiang Yi whispered.
However, she did not think the same in her heart. All her grandchildren slept soundly all the time. Even if she kicked up a fuss at home, they would not wake up.
The Xia family’s children were really too pampered! They were so overly protected!
“How do you feel? Do you still feel uncomfortable?” Jiang Yi was about to sit down at the edge of Qiao Mei’s bed for a chat when Xu Lan pulled her up. Her butt had not even touched the bed yet!
“In-law, not everyone can sit on my daughter-in-law’s bed. Not even me! I seek your understanding. There are a few stools over there. Let’s sit there,” Xu Lan said.
Jiang Yi’s expression darkened, but she did not dare to say anything. After all, she had a more important matter to do today. It was not good to ruin the harmony over such trivial matters.
“I’m fine now. I just need to take care of the two children. Mother will usually help me out, so it’s not taxing on me,” Qiao Mei said in a gentle manner.
As the two of them continued chatting, Xu Lan went downstairs to bring up some fruits for Qiao Mei. Xia Zhe had eaten up all the fruits in the room and he did not think of bringing more upstairs.
Once Jiang Yi saw Xu Lan leave, she quickly put on a pitiful expression. The speed at which she changed her expression was comparable to that of an actress in a television drama! One second, she was chatting and laughing! The next second, her expression became gloomy.
“Sigh… You look so well and healthy, so I don’t have to worry about you anymore. It’s just that my husband’s health is still not too good. He’s been drinking the ‘divine medicine’ you gave but there is still not much improvement. I hear from Tan Jing that the ‘divine medicine’ comes in different colors. I wonder if I have taken the wrong kind?” Jiang Yi probed.
If she questioned Qiao Mei directly, she definitely would not get her way. By asking in this manner, she made it sound like it was nobody’s fault and hopefully led to Qiao Mei giving them the real thing.
“Is that so? Maybe Xia Zhe did not see clearly, but I only had a few bottles anyway. It’s not like there’s a lot of it. We can’t even produce one bottle within a few months. How can there be any more of such good stuff nowadays?” Qiao Mei said with a straight face.
“Don’t you have a few bottles set aside for your grandfather? Bring those out and pass them to our family first. You can always make more for your grandfather!” Jiang Yi said.
That self-entitled attitude undoubtedly crossed Qiao Mei’s line. She was actually open to negotiating terms and conditions with Jiang Yi. If Jiang Yi knew how to say things which made her happy, she could even reward Jiang Yi with a few bottles. However, from the looks of it, that family did not even deserve a few drops!
“No means no. Those are not available. You should bring your husband to a proper hospital for a checkup,” Qiao Mei said as she held back her temper.
Jiang Yi immediately flared up and shouted, “Why not! What’s wrong with giving us one or two bottles! Your grandfather is in such good health! But my husband is not going to make it! What’s wrong with giving them to our family!”
Her loud shouting woke Xia Fan and Xia Xing up. The two children were so frightened that they started crying. Qiao Mei’s good temper was gone by now and she looked at the Tan mother-and-daughter duo coldly.
