Chapter 1593 Not Accepting Help
Moreover, Miao Le was only a 15-year-old girl! She had never been with a man, let alone know anything about being pregnant. It was really ridiculous for her family to send her over to take care of a child.
They actually asked one child to come and take care of another child.
"You're all in cahoots! You are ganging up! If anything should happen to my nephew! I won't let you off!" Miao Le said with bloodshot eyes.
At this moment, a furious yell suddenly came from outside the garden. "Miao Le! Are you causing trouble again!"
Qiao Mei looked over. Even if she did not know anyone here, she could tell that the person coming towards them was Tian Jun.
There was a shuttle bus that plied between the family compound and the army camp. The men worked on shift and those on duty would stay in the army dormitory. Those who were not on duty would take the shuttle bus home together, just like kids going to and from school.
Xia Zhe had wanted to give Qiao Mei a surprise today. He had brought back her favorite sweet and sour pork ribs from the canteen. Although he knew that it was not as delicious as her version, he still wanted her to try it.
He did not expect Qiao Mei to give him a surprise first.
"Brother-in-law! I'm not causing trouble! She's bullying me! I wanted to go home, but they won't let me go and make me stay here!" Miao Le said aggrievedly.
Qiao Mei rolled her eyes helplessly. How could it be that this girl behaved exactly like Qiao Yu?. She did not even do anything to Miao Le just now. She did not know where Miao Le got the courage to lie through her teeth without feeling any sense of guilt!
Tian Jun looked at Qiao Mei fiercely. He had never seen Qiao Mei before and he knew very well the temperament of the other two women. In that case, it could only be Qiao Mei who bullied Miao Le.
"Did you bully my younger sister?" Tian Jun glared at Qiao Mei and questioned her.
Qiao Mei did not want to answer him. She was feeling very frustrated at the moment and there was impatience written all over her face. She might really flare up at Tian Jun in the next moment. By now, Liang Die could not stand it anymore.
"It was your younger sister who asked Qiao Mei to breastfeed Zhuang Zhuang. She even said that she wanted to go to Qiao Mei's house to do chores to repay the hardship of feeding him. She also said that she would give eggs in return," Liang Die said.
Tian Jun blushed when he heard that. He did not expect Miao Le to do such a shameless thing.
"She even wants to give eggs… She already can't even afford to feed the child… Egg soup can be a good meal for the child too. I really don't know what she's thinking," Liang Die muttered softly without holding back.
There was nothing wrong with anyone's ears! Everyone present could hear what Liang Die said and Tian Jun felt even more embarrassed. He grabbed Miao Le and dragged her home.
Xia Zhe stood behind Qiao Mei and patted her on the shoulder. "Shall we go home?"
Looking at the departing figures of Tian Jun and Miao Le, Qiao Mei felt a little sorry for them and asked, "Can you go and give them two tins of milk powder later? The child is innocent and I really can't bear to see him suffer."
Before Xia Zhe could agree, his comrade next to him said, "Sister-in-law, forget it. Tian Jun is like this. Back then, we raised a sum of money for him and he returned the entire sum to us. He won't take a single cent. Even if you give him something, he will return it to you."
Qiao Mei raised her head and looked at Xia Zhe. He nodded to confirm what his comrade had just said. He did not really know what transpired as he had only contributed money and did not ask about anything else. He was not curious about such things.
With the drama over, everyone went home. Xia Zhe pushed the pram and walked back slowly with Qiao Mei. Along the way, Qiao Mei remained silent. She was really angry that a person like Miao Le existed in the world.
She could not understand Tian Jun either. What he was doing was just blind devotion. He would rather give all his money to his family without keeping some aside to buy food for his child. When she was young, her family was poor. Li Gui was not in good health and was malnourished all year round, so she did not have any milk to feed Qiao Mei.
Qiao Yue would go to all the families who raised sheep and went from house to house to ask for some goat milk to feed Qiao Mei. Later on, when he could not get any more goat milk, he started making rice gruel for Qiao Mei. Even with such a diet, her growth was not affected and she was fair and chubby when she was at Zhuang Zhuang's age.
When Xia Zhe returned home, he did the chores, then he heated up the food and brought it out to the table. After he was all done, Qiao Mei was still sulking on the brick bed!
"Come and eat first before thinking about those matters!" Xia Zhe said with a smile.
