After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! Chapter 1707 Go Home Early

Chapter 1707 Go Home Early

Miao Le instantly felt dejected. Xia Zhe was already in his 30s, so Xia Zhe's elder brother must be even older and could even be around her father's age! It seemed there was no one available in the Xia family.

In fact, there were other men in the Xia family. For example, Xia Yuan from the second son's family was not married yet and had not met anyone he liked. However, it was impossible for Xia Yuan to take a fancy to Miao Le, so Qiao Mei did not want to cause trouble for herself.

"Then Elder Sister, do you have any brothers?" Miao Le continued to ask.

"Me? I have two younger brothers. The older one is only 11 years old. If you don't mind, you can wait a few more years," Qiao Mei said with a smile.

In 10 years' time, Miao Le would be 26 years old and Zhang Wei 21 years old and no one would gossip about it. However, it would be a little strange for a 16-year-old girl and an 11-year-old boy to get together.

Miao Le blushed from Qiao Mei's teasing. She was not in such a hurry that she would get married to a child!

As they chatted, Xia Zhe came back. He returned with a lot of medicine as well as Zhao Wu.

"Sister-in-law! I'm here to visit you and the children! Look at the fish I bought! I really got lucky today. The fish is especially cheap! Moreover, it looks like it was just caught! It's especially fres.h.!.+" Zhao Wu yelled out happily at Qiao Mei.

Miao Le hurriedly turned around to see who the owner of the unfamiliar voice was. When she saw Zhao Wu, her eyes widened and she could not look away at all. This was the first time she had seen such a handsome man. Zhao Wu, on the other hand, did not look at Miao Le at all. He only had eyes for Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe.

"I heard that you brought two gold locks for my children. Is that true? Are you really willing to spend the money you're saving for your wedding?" Qiao Mei asked.

"Of course! Don't look down on me! I've already saved up enough to get married! It's just that I don't have a wife yet! Didn't you say that you wanted to introduce me to my wife? Sister-in-law, you have to hurry up!" Zhao Wu said.

When Miao Le heard that Zhao Wu did not have a partner, she became even happier. Someone who could afford two gold locks must be from a well-to-do family. She deliberately coughed twice to attract Zhao Wu's attention.

"Sister-in-law, this is?" Zhao Wu asked hesitantly as he looked at Miao Le.

Before Qiao Mei could speak, Miao Le immediately said, "I'm Sister Qiao Mei's younger sister. My name is Miao Le~"

Qiao Mei frowned slightly. She did not like people who went around claiming to be her relatives, especially people she did not like. Zhao Wu had grown up in a military family compound and had seen all kinds of weird people. He immediately knew what Miao Le was thinking. Coupled with Qiao Mei's expression, he already knew what was going on.

"Sister-in-law, why don't you make your famous braised pork ribs for me today? I haven't eaten it in a long time. Ever since I ate it last time, I can't stop thinking about it! And the salted vegetables! I want to eat that too!" Zhao Wu ignored what Miao Le said and only looked at Qiao Mei, leaving Miao Le standing there awkwardly.

At the mention of salted vegetables, Qiao Mei realized that she had forgotten to make some. Ever since she left Foshan Village, she had not made them again, mainly because she had no place to do it. Now that Zhao Wu mentioned it, she was tempted to make it again.

"You have to wait a while for the salted vegetables. I haven't made any yet!" Qiao Mei said.

"Let's talk inside. Oh right, what's your name again… Miao Le, right?" Zhao Wu said as he looked at Miao Le.

"Yes!" Miao Le said excitedly.

"Alright… It's already so late. Your family must have prepared dinner for you, so we won't keep you! Go home early and don't let your family members worry about you," Zhao Wu said as he pretended to be considerate.

Miao Le's smile froze on her face. This was the first time she had met someone who chased her away so bluntly. She silently turned around and returned to the west room to carry Zhuang Zhuang and left Qiao Mei's house.

Qiao Mei looked at the departing Miao Le and gave Zhao Wu a thumbs up. "You're really amazing. I'm going to be tortured to death by her after so many days."

"I've seen many women like her. This is how my mother dealt with them back then. Don't worry, with me around, I'll definitely settle her for you!" Zhao Wu said confidently as he patted his chest.

Qiao Mei shook her head helplessly and said, "As long as a golden goose like you doesn't get targeted by others…"

Xia Zhe had been standing behind Zhao Wu the entire time. His legs were already numb from pretending to have a limp. He looked at Qiao Mei and Zhao Wu and said, "Can we go in and talk? I feel very uncomfortable after standing here for so long."

Zhao Wu quickly put on a show of helping Xia Zhe back into the house. Qiao Mei also returned to the house after settling the final payment with the shopkeeper.
