705 Time and Tide Wait for No Man

w.a.n.g Qin and Qiao Gui pushed each other, both unwilling to answer the question. In the end, it was w.a.n.g Qin who came forward to explain the situation to Qiao Zhuang.

“Father… Yes, they left today. They left early in the morning. We made the arrangements for a horse carriage to send them off,” w.a.n.g Qin said.

This was strange. Those two men were people Qiao Mei knew in the capital. How could they be related to Qiao Yu? Everyone in this village knew that their family and Qiao Mei were irreconcilable enemies. Could it be that they would help their family?

However, Qiao Mei was closest to Qiao Yu back then. This might make Qiao Mei feel sorry for Qiao Yu and help her leave this place.

“Then do you know when Qiao Yu left home?” Qiao Zhuang asked his third daughter-in-law, Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye was currently the one in charge of all the miscellaneous ch.o.r.es at home. She had to do all the dirty and tiring work. The only benefit was that she could eat and take everything at home for free, which saved them money.

“I remember she left early in the morning. At that time, all of us were not up yet. I had just gotten up to cook, but Qiao Yu left the courtyard as soon as I left my room. She was even carrying a bamboo basket on her back,” Jiang Ye said truthfully.

He Ning and the others had also left early in the morning, so it was very likely that Qiao Yu had followed them. Qiao Zhuang pointed at Qiao Gui and w.a.n.g Qin and said, “Go and ask Qiao Mei for an explanation. How can we let her run away for nothing? You’re the village accountant, ask the villagers if anyone has seen Qiao Yu. If we catch her, I’ll break her legs!”

Qiao Gui wanted to refuse, but he did not dare to say anything after Qiao Zhuang gave him a look. After Qiao Zhuang went out, everyone in the family sighed. Only Shen Ge smiled the happiest. Qiao Yu would be free after leaving this house.

No matter which family she married into in the future, it would still be better than being here. As long as she had food to eat, there would always be a way out.

w.a.n.g Qin had a reluctant look on her face as she prepared to go home. If she stayed any longer, it would be too dark and she would not even be able to make her way home.

“Second Sister-in-law, can you go home later. The crockery and cutlery haven’t been washed yet,” Jiang Ye said as she sat on the brick bed.

“This is not something that I do. What’s the use of telling me?” w.a.n.g Qin said disdainfully.

It seemed that anyone could go above her and give her instructions nowadays. In the past, they were all respectful to her, but now they even wanted her to do housework.

“It’s just that there are three people missing at home all of a sudden. Eldest sister-in-law has left, and both Qiao Yu and Qiao Hua are not at home. Now, I’m the only one left to clean up such a big house. Ever since the issue with Qiao Yu getting married, mother has become a little senile. If you don’t help me, then who will? We’re all the Qiao family’s daughters-in-law. You can’t be an exception,” Jiang Ye said.

w.a.n.g Qin ignored what Jiang Ye said and turned around to leave. She just would not do it, there was nothing they could do to her. As long as she was still the village accountant, this family had to treat her well. She was the one who earned the reputation and the money!

None of them could look down on her!

It was rare for Qiao Mei to have time to lie back on the rocking chair to rest. The evening breeze today felt especially gentle. Her stomach was getting much bigger than before.

Speaking of which, it was strange that while other women had morning sickness when they were pregnant, she did not feel anything and had an exceptionally good appet.i.te. At this stage of pregnancy, others were starting to favor one type of food, but she could still eat everything.

The older generation often said that for pregnant women, a taste for sour food meant having a boy while a taste for spicy food meant having a girl. Qiao Mei ate everything, whether sour, sweet, bitter or spicy. If she did not know that she was pregnant with twins, people might think that she was having a weird child!

“Mei Mei, take a look at the hawthorns in the courtyard. Do you want to eat some?” Qiao Qiang asked as he pointed at the fruits on the tree.

“Grandfather, I don’t want to eat anything sour. I’ve eaten so much over the past two days that my stomach feels sour. I have two babies here and I’m not particularly craving for anything. I might be having one boy and one girl!” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

It did seem that what Qiao Mei said made sense. Qiao Qiang smiled even more happily. In the past, he did not like children and always felt that they were noisy. He used to like peace and quiet, but now that he was old, he was happy to have children surrounding him.

He did not expect to become a great-grandfather in the blink of an eye.

Time and tide really waited for no man. It was like yesterday when young Qiao Mei stood in front of him. Now, she was about to become a mother.
