Chapter 2084: Back at the Family Compound
....Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There were a few newcomers at the military family compound. These women did not know Qiao Mei, but they had been here long enough to have heard of her.
Liu Yun held Qiao Mei’s hand and said proudly, “Let me introduce you! This is my Sister Qiao Mei! She stays in that house!”
“Hello, my name is Li Hui. I live in the house at the very end,” Li Hui said in a gentle tone.
“I’m Zou Lu! I’m probably a little younger than you,” Zou Lu said cheerfully.
Zou Lu’s older brother was in the army and their parents had passed away a long time ago, leaving the two siblings to rely on each other. Therefore, the army specially approved Zou Lu’s application to live in the military family compound.
“Have you completed your studies overseas? Why have you suddenly come back?” Zhang Cai asked curiously.
They all already knew everything about Qiao Mei’s endeavors. Everyone in the capital knew about her. Ever since Liu Yun and the rest found out that Qiao Mei had gone overseas to study, they all felt very proud as well! After all, they were the neighbors of the top scorer in the college entrance examination in the capital!
“I have completed my studies both here and overseas. I’ve already graduated,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.
“It’s good to have graduated! As a graduate, you’ll definitely be assigned a good job! Don’t blame me for talking about you next time. I have to show off to others that I have a sister who’s very capable!” Liu Yun said.
“Then I’ll have to work harder,” Qiao Mei said.
She did not tell Liu Yun and the others about her company and the factory, not because she wanted to hide these things from them, but because she did not want to cause unnecessary trouble. After all, the winds would always howl around the highest peaks. It was better to be careful and avoid attracting trouble.
What if any of them wanted to recommend their relatives to Qiao Mei? Then Qiao Mei’s company would become a charity shelter!
Qiao Mei took a look around and realized that Miao Le was standing at the back of the crowd with a young baby in her arms. The baby looked to be about one year old. However, Zhuang Zhuang should be three years old by now. So who was the child in Miao Le’s arms?
“Let’s not chit chat anymore! I need to talk to Qiao Mei! You guys have fun!” Liu Yun grabbed Qiao Mei and pulled her away from the crowd.
Xia Zhe quietly took out everything from the car and into the house. They had not been back for so long and the whole house was covered in dust. He would need to take some time to clean it up.
Liu Yun led Qiao Mei to her house to have a chat. Qiao Mei immediately saw the greenhouse behind the house. When she left, Liu Yun had not built the greenhouse yet! It seemed that Liu Yun had been doing quite well for the past two years.
“Sister, this is what I want to talk to you about. After you left, I took care of your courtyard for you and I realized that the vegetables grown in your greenhouse were of very good quality. Therefore, I made the decision to build a few more greenhouses on your land and also at my house,” Liu Yun said embarrassedly.
“It’s fine! I still have to thank you! After all, it’s a waste not to make good use of all the land,” Qiao Mei said.
Seeing that Qiao Mei was not angry, Liu Yun could finally feel at ease. The moment they walked into Liu Yun’s house, Qiao Mei could see there were many new household appliances inside. There was a refrigerator, a television, a radio and a sewing machine, among other things. These items were all the latest models.
“You’ve been doing well for yourself!” Qiao Mei said happily.
“It’s all thanks to you! The vegetables grow very fast in the greenhouse, so I can make a lot of money during the winter! I’ll go and get the money for you later. I’ve made sure to do the accounts properly for the past two years!” Liu Yun said.
“No hurry, no hurry! I have something to ask you. Whose child is Miao Le carrying? It doesn’t seem to be Zhuang Zhuang,” Qiao Mei asked.
Liu Yun said with a look of disdain, “You don’t say! That’s her own child! Not long after you left, Tian Jun chased Miao Le home and asked another of his distant cousins to come and take care of Zhuang Zhuang. However, no one knows how Miao Le managed to seduce Zhao Da from the apartment upstairs! The two of them got married very quickly. This child was also conceived last year.”
“Who’s Zhao Da? I don’t seem to have heard of him before,” Qiao Mei said.
“It’s a long story. You should go back and ask your husband. They all know what kind of person Zhao Da is. Zhao Da is already 36 years old! He can even be Miao Le’s father! He’s really shameless!” Liu Yun said disdainfully.
It seemed that there was more to this story and Qiao Mei became even more curious about this relationship. When she had time, she would get Yao Nian to investigate Zhao Da and Miao Le.
“Sigh! Let’s not talk about these disgusting things! Let’s count our money!” Liu Yun said.
