960 A Quarrelsome Couple
Qiao Mei did not even blink and simply said generously, “I’ll give you 15 dollars an hour! Meals provided as well. It’s not a problem even if you want to stay here!”
Thank you readers!
“This isn’t like you at all. Shouldn’t you bargain with me? You’re making me feel a little guilty. You provide food and accommodation and even give me so much money. Should I be giving the lessons for free?” Qian’e asked suspiciously.
Qiao Mei smiled and said, “This is my sincerity! As for your sincerity, it depends on whether you’re shameless or not~”
If not for the fact that Qiao Mei was pregnant now, Qian’e would definitely want to fight it out with Qiao Mei. This woman was really too cunning! How could there be such a cunning person!
“Eight dollars an hour! That’s the lowest I can go! If Zhang Miao passes the examination or wins a competition, you have to give me a bonus!” Qian’e said.
!!
“No problem, you can’t go back on your word!” Qiao Mei smiled smugly.
Qian’e gritted her teeth and said, “I won’t go back on my word! Alright!”
The lesson in the backyard had also ended. Zheng Peng brought the children to the front yard to have dinner. Xia He quickly walked out of the kitchen and instructed Zhang Qin to go to the railing in the corridor to do leg presses. She must do the basic training every day.
Nowadays, the children had many lessons and were under a lot of pressure. Zhang Qin could only have dance lessons during the fragmented free time she had. To do so, she had to put in a lot of effort. Without patience and perseverance, she would not be able to keep going. Xia He was also using the chance to test Zhang Qin’s willpower.
“Professor Zheng, stay for dinner now that the class is over. The food will be ready soon,” Qiao Mei said as she looked at Zheng Peng warmly.
Zheng Peng wanted to accept Qiao Mei’s invitation, but once he saw Qian’e, he immediately changed his mind. He did not want to eat at the same table with this woman.
“Never mind, I won’t stay for dinner. I’m about the same age as Xia Wen. From now on, you can call me Brother Zheng and I’ll call you sister-in-law,” Zheng Peng said politely.
Qian’e leaned against the door and said disdainfully, “Don’t tell me you can’t eat when you see my face? Am I that ugly?”
Zheng Peng frowned and said, “You’re thinking too much. Not everyone is interested in you.”
“You! Be more polite! Did I offend you! What right do you have to talk to me like that!” Qian’e widened her eyes and said angrily to Zheng Peng.
Zheng Peng did not want to quarrel with Qian’e. This woman was simply unreasonable. She was the one who picked a fight with him first, so why was it all his fault now? She really liked to play the blame game.
When he saw how serious Qian’e looked when she was teaching Zhang Miao and witnessed her skills during the class, his impression of Qian’e had improved a lot. He did not dwell on what had happened earlier. He just felt a little awkward and was too embarrassed to apologize.
“Alright, alright! Stop arguing! What’s the big deal? Let’s not be so calculative about the previous misunderstanding and get to know each other again.” Qiao Mei grabbed Qian’e by the hand and said, “Come, introduce yourself. Don’t be so angry.”
Qian’e slowly calmed down and reached out with her hand reluctantly. “My name is Qian’e. I’m Zhang Miao’s piano teacher.”
“Zheng Peng.” Zheng Peng reached out and politely shook her hand. The two of them stood on the spot and looked at each other awkwardly, neither of them willing to say another word.
Qiao Mei sighed silently. Perhaps the relationship between these two people would improve in the future. She returned to her room to look for some fabric to make a pillow for Qian’e, as well as the embroidery patterns which she had previously designed.
Smoke rose from the chimneys of every house and the fragrance of food filled the alley. Su Yang could not wait to return to the home that belonged to him and Qiao Yu. He did not know if Qiao Yu would have prepared dinner for him or if she was waiting for him to deliver food to her. At the thought of this, the sense of anticipation in his heart lessened by a big deal.
Coincidentally, Qiao Yu had finished cooking in the kitchen and was bringing the food into the room. She did not manage to buy any meat, so there was only cabbages stewed with potatoes tonight. She did not even have any oil and she secretly took some of the landlord’s lard. The dish would taste much better with the lard in it.
