After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! Chapter 1692 Waste of Talent

Chapter 1692 Waste of Talent

If Qiao Mei knew what He Ning was thinking, she would have chased him out of the house with a big stick.

"How about it? Surely you don't think you have the shorter end of the stick?" He Ning asked.

"Who knows? For us to be able to pry such a good thing out of your mouth, we may have to pay a huge price in the future," Qiao Mei said mockingly.

"How can that be? When have I ever made huge demands from you? Instead, you're the one who has asked me for a lot time and time again," He Ning said.

You deserve it!

Qiao Mei had already scolded He Ning thousands of times in her heart. If He Ning had not started a fight and gone against the Xia family, her family would have had a lot less trouble and would have 30% less issues to deal with every year. The things she took from He Ning were all her ent.i.tlements and she did not take anything from the He family that she did not deserve.

She even felt that she had taken too little from him!

The next time I get some dirt on the He family, I must extort a good sum of money! I must not let He Ning carry on so comfortably!

"Fine, alright." Qiao Mei did not want to waste her breath on He Ning. She took out a bottle of medicinal wine from the bedroom and handed it to He Ning before saying, "Take it and go."

"Are you really not going to ask me to stay for a meal? Look at the time. There's no food for me at home when I go back," He Ning asked Qiao Mei pitifully.

He is the head of the He family. Who will believe that he would have no food at home waiting for him?

Qiao Mei looked at He Ning doubtfully and said, "Is there anything magical about the food at my house? Why are you so fixated? Can you live forever after eating it?"

"Erm… it's not to that extent yet… If you don't want me to stay, then I'll leave," He Ning said as he coughed out of embarra.s.sment.

He stood up awkwardly and patted the dust off his clothes before leaving Qiao Mei's house with the medicinal wine. Before he left, he even accidentally tripped at the door and almost dropped the bottle of medicinal wine on the floor.

The fact was that Qiao Mei knew that the food she made was very delicious and that it made people healthier after eating it. He Ning had probably realized this as well, but she did not want to let him take advantage of it. She would rather feed the two puppies at home than give He Ning a bite!

Early the next morning, Qiao Mei asked to see Da Zhuang. All this while, she had felt a little guilty towards Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang. The rest of the team members were out working hard and making all kinds of contributions to the team, but these two young men had to stay at Qiao Mei's house to guard the house.

At first, there was a team of six people who were supposed to work on s.h.i.+fts. However, later on, Luo Yu felt that this setup could allow people with ulterior motives to plant spies in the house. If so, Qiao Mei's family would be caught in an even more dangerous situation. Therefore, he asked Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang to be fully in charge of keeping watch at Qiao Mei's house.

Although Qiao Mei paid them a salary every month, it did not change the fact that this would affect their career path.

"Da Zhuang, do you want to return to the guard team?" Qiao Mei asked.

Da Zhuang was so shocked that he quickly said, "Sister-in-law! Do you think I haven't done enough? I'll do better! I can improve!"

"No, no! You're both very good! I just feel that it's a waste of talent for the two of you to stay here and protect us," Qiao Mei said.

"That's not true! Sister-in-law, you don't know it but you've already helped Xiao Zhuang and me a lot," Da Zhuang said gratefully.

Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang were brothers and the two of them joined the guard team together. They left their mother and younger sister behind in their hometown. The two of them came to work in the capital and their younger sister stayed at home to take care of their mother. Their younger sister had long reached the age where she should get married, but their mother was seriously ill and bedridden, so no family wanted their sister as a daughter-in-law.

If Qiao Mei had not chosen them to protect her family in the courtyard house, they would not have received a salary that was several times higher than what they used to get. Moreover, Qiao Mei had even allocated them a place to stay. Although they had to pay rent, it still helped them a lot!

They had already brought their mother and younger sister to live in the capital and their family was finally reunited. Moreover, the doctors in the capital's hospital were highly skilled and their mother was feeling much better. Their younger sister had also found a partner recently. They heard that the young man came from a good family and the couple would be getting married soon.

If not for Qiao Mei, their family would still be in dire straits! It was all thanks to Qiao Mei that their family had what they had today!
