596 I Will Not Let You Get Away With It
Zhang Wei happily carried the dish home. Ever since Qiao Mei left, they had not eaten any meat or fish at all. It was rare for them to have some today, and he wondered if Zhang Chao would feel happier.
Xiao Yu looked at Zhang Wei reluctantly as he left. The fact was she could not bear to part with the goose meat in his hand. When she came back to her senses and turned to look at the pot again, she realized that there was not much meat left.
Xiao Yu pointed at the departing Zhang Wei and ordered Qiao Mei, “He took all the meat! Quickly chase after him!”
“He’s my younger brother. So what if he took it? I gave it to him,” Qiao Mei said.
!!“No! How can you give it to him when I haven’t eaten yet! He’s just a bastard! How can he be considered your younger brother! It’s not like we’re born from the same father! I’m your younger sister! Why aren’t you on my side! I don’t agree with him taking all the meat away!” Xiao Yu said unreasonably.
When she was at home in the capital, her family would give her all the good things. As long as Liang Zu was not at home, everything good would belong to her. Why did no one dote on her or like her in the countryside? Even without Liang Zu around, they still would not do things her way.
“Who taught you all this!” Qiao Mei said sharply.
How could such a young child know so much about their family? She even knew that Zhang Wei and the others were not related to Qiao Qiang by blood. Liang Lan must have accidentally said something that the child overheard.
Xiao Yu hid behind Liang Lan and trembled. She did not think before she spoke.
“It’s just a child talking nonsense! Don’t take it seriously!” Liang Lan said to Qiao Mei with a smile.
Qiao Mei ignored Liang Lan completely. Although everyone knew about these things, it was not nice to expose them.
She put the whistle back in her pocket and said to Chen Hu, “Uncle Hu, go back a little later today. Xiao Wei still has many questions for you.”
Chen Hu nodded happily and said, “Sure!”
With such a motivated and studious disciple, he was more than willing to spend time teaching him. Although this child was not related to Qiao Qiang by blood, given how this child had taken such good care of Qiao Qiang and Qiao Mei, he might be more of a blood relative than a real blood relative.
On the other hand, these two blood relatives seemed to be totally unrelated to them. The boy was unsmiling and conceited, while the girl was unreasonable, shrewish and delicate.
“You haven’t asked that person to bring the dish back!” Xiao Yu raised her fist and went forward to hit Qiao Mei.
Qiao Mei did not pander to Xiao Yu at all and would not indulge her just because she was young. She reached out and gave her a tight slap.
“Slap!”
“Ah!!!”
This slap was crisp and loud. Xiao Yu was knocked to the ground by the slap from Qiao Mei and Liang Lan’s heart went out to her. She immediately went forward to hug Xiao Yu and carefully checked her for any other injuries.
“Xiao Yu! Are you alright! Let mom take a look!” Liang Lan said worriedly.
“Mom! How dare she hit me! Boohoo! She bullied me!” Xiao Yu said with tears in her eyes.
“You were the one who wanted to rush over and hit me. What I did was self-defense. You said you’re my younger sister, so what kind of younger sister are you? How are you related to me? Besides, who said you can stay for dinner?” Qiao Mei asked sternly.
If these people had made the effort to discuss these things properly with them in the beginning, perhaps as time passed and Qiao Qiang could not bear to part with these two children, there would still be some room for discussion.
Now that the grownups were impolite and the young ones were insensible, they could not blame her for not holding back.
A swollen handprint instantly appeared on Xiao Yu’s face. When Liang Zu saw that, not only did he not go forward to speak up for Xiao Yu, but he even pointed at Xiao Yu and laughed loudly. This was the first time he had seen someone’s head become a pig’s head.
Liang Guo immediately covered Liang Zu’s mouth to prevent him from embarrassing himself.
“Even if Xiao Yu said something wrong, you shouldn’t hit her so hard,” Liang Lan said aggrievedly as she hugged Xiao Yu.
Chen Hu stood angrily in front of Liang Lan and shielded Qiao Mei behind him. Why is your child so precious? Is Qiao Mei not equally as precious?
Chen Hu pointed at them and said, “You’re the ones who are shameless enough to refuse to leave and insist on staying for a meal. Qiao Mei is pregnant and yet your daughter rushes over like this. What if Qiao Mei falls and loses the child? What can you do then? It’s not just Uncle Qiao and I who will want to settle the score with you. Qiao Mei is pregnant with the Xia family’s grandchild! What if the child is gone! Do you think the Xia family will let you off?”
These words immediately reminded Liang Lan and Liang Guo that there was nothing beneficial for them if they offended Qiao Mei now.
