After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

Chapter 1700 - 1700 Taking Advantage



1700 Taking Advantage

Qiao Mei looked at Xia Zhe’s back blankly for a while before she stammered, “Um… I think I went a little overboard. The wounds have all healed. How can you explain it to the military doctors tomorrow?”

“It’s fine. I’ll just ask the military doctors to give me the medicine. I’ll say that you can change my dressing every day as I don’t want to travel back and forth. This way, there won’t be any issue and they won’t know about this,” Xia Zhe said with a smile.

Qiao Mei touched the scars on Xia Zhe’s body gently with her fingertips. Some were shallow while others were deep. These scars were all Xia Zhe’s merit medals and each scar represented the battles he had fought in the past.

For a moment, Qiao Mei felt a little anxious and worried. Could she save Xia Zhe like this for the rest of her life? It was just like the last time when she faced Xia Mao.

At that time, Xia Mao was lucky that they could get to his side during the critical period for treatment. If Xia Zhe faced a life-and-death situation in the future, would she still be able to appear by his side when needed?

Every time she thought about this, she felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on her heart, making her unable to breathe. If she had all this energy inside her body, but was unable to protect the people she cherished, then she might as well not have the ability.

“What are you thinking about? You silly thing,” Xia Zhe noticed Qiao Mei’s emotions and asked softly as he hugged her dotingly.

“It’s nothing. I’m just wondering why you’re so silly and have so many scars on your body,” Qiao Mei said gloomily.

“These are nothing. Aren’t I standing fine and well right in front of you? Don’t think too much,” Xia Zhe said.

Of course, Qiao Mei knew that it was useless to think too much, yet she could not help but think about it. There was always a voice echoing in her head.

What if? What if something really happened to Xia Zhe?

After thinking for a long time, she still could not come up with a suitable solution. She decided to feed Xia Zhe first.

Qiao Mei went to the kitchen to make a light meal for Xia Zhe. He must be exhausted from traveling day and night during this period of time. What Xia Zhe needed the most now was to have a good rest.

She made a bowl of noodles for Xia Zhe with two eggs and some vegetables inside. It looked very sumptuous and Xia Zhe wolfed down the noodles quickly. There was not even any soup left when he was done.

There was limited food in the mountains. What they ate the most was hardtack. If they ran out of hardtack, they would catch rats and grasshoppers from the mountain to give them the protein and fats that they needed.

In their eyes, these were enough to keep them alive. They did not care if they had to eat bugs.

Qiao Mei still had a lot of other work to do today. She wanted to raise some livestock here. Although she was able to buy pork and chicken around here, the meat did not taste as delicious as those she raised herself. Moreover, her plan to raise “herbal chickens and ducks” had yet to come to fruition!

When Qiao Mei saw that Xia Zhe was fast asleep, she cooked for the two babies and ensured that they ate their fill. Only then did she feel at ease enough to go out to buy the bricks and fencing she needed to build a pigsty.

Miao Le did not manage to wake up early this morning. By the time she rushed over to Qiao Mei’s house with Zhuang Zhuang in her arms, she saw Qiao Mei driving away in the car.

Liu Yun was washing the dishes in her courtyard. She looked at Miao Le’s dejected stance and said, “Miao Le, why are you here so early in the day?”

“I’m just here to visit Sister Qiao Mei… Who would have thought that she would go out so early to avoid me,” Miao Le complained unhappily.

Liu Yun did not reply. She was definitely on Qiao Mei’s side. Qiao Mei was really pitiful. She had not even been here long but she had already met so many people who wanted to suck her blood dry. The worst thing was that she could not even chase them away!

“If I’m Qiao Mei, I will go out early every morning too! Otherwise, who knows who will come to her house every day even though it’s not the festive season or any special occasion like a birthday. Such people might be more hardworking than mourners at a funeral! When these people come for a visit, they don’t even bring a gift with them. Those who don’t know better would think that these people are here to take advantage of her! Don’t you think so, Sister Miao Le,” Wang Nuo looked at Miao Le and said sarcastically.

“I don’t come over every day…” Miao Le whispered awkwardly.

“Miao Le, don’t take it to heart. She’s just passing a casual remark. She’s not talking about you!” Liu Yun smiled and chimed in.

“That’s right. I’m just rattling off. I’m just like this. I say whatever I think of. Don’t read too much into it!” Wang Nuo said.
