After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

Chapter 728 Asking For Living Expenses

Early in the morning, Qiao Mei stopped Qiao Qiang from going picking in the mountains and asked him to go shopping in the county city to buy something to ward off the cold. There was also no meat left at home, so she asked him to go to the county city to buy more.

In short, there was nothing left at home. She asked him to go to the county city to do a good round of shopping and also bring back a few pieces of good fabric for her to make clothes for the babies.

Xia He was on leave today and went home to help with the renovations. When she had some free time, she gave Qiao Mei a call.

"Young girl, can't you even write a letter to your elder sister to inform her that you're back safe and sound?" Xia He pouted and leaned against the cabinet as she said unhappily.

"I'm just busy settling all kinds of things at home. Sigh, it's a long story," Qiao Mei said with a sigh.

Qiao Mei told Xia He the main points about what happened after she returned to the village. The main thing she talked about was about how her younger siblings had gone missing. Those who did not know Qiao Mei's family situation would think that she was talking about a plot from a television drama.

"Alright, let's stop talking about me. Has Kong Lu returned the money? What are your plans for the time being?" Qiao Mei asked curiously.

"You just finished talking about your tragic incident and you're questioning me again. I'm only doing better at work. Although there are a few 'flies' in the unit, they're still easy to deal with. At least it's much better than what happened at your house. It's nothing compared to what happened to you," Xia He said.

As she spoke, the door was pushed open with a bang and bounced against the wall twice. Xia He was so shocked that she gripped the phone tightly. When she turned around and saw that it was Old Madam Kong and Kong Li, she instantly felt a surge of anger.

In order to hide from the Kong family, she had chosen to return to her maternal home to take refuge. She could not be bothered to argue with them, yet she could not even hide from them. How could she live like this!

"What's wrong? What happened? Did someone enter the house?" Qiao Mei asked nervously.

By right, the Xia family residence was heavily guarded and people who entered had to be checked thoroughly. They would not let anyone in casually. If it was a highly skilled thief, why would he enter the house so openly and cause such a big commotion?

"It's fine. The Kong family members have come to visit. I just finished mocking you about how exciting your life is. Now, my life is going to be exciting too," Xia He said helplessly.

"Don't hang up. I'll listen too. Be careful," Qiao Mei said.

Xia He slowly set down the phone and leaned against the wall without moving. She felt very disgusted to even look at the Kong family members. If not for the fact that Kong Lu had not returned the money, she would have gotten a divorce long ago.

"Haven't you seen me! Don't you know how to serve me tea! Is this how you behave as my daughter-in-law?" Old Madam Kong said loudly.

In the past, she used this move so that all the neighbors would hear her. After all, the apartment unit had been in disrepair for a long time and the soundproofing was not very good. Anyone could hear what anyone said clearly.

The Xia family's house had its own courtyard. Even if one shouted until one's throat was hoarse, no one would not be able to hear it from next door. Old Madam Kong's actions were just a waste of her voice and nothing else.

"Where's your family! Where's the helper! Hurry up and get me some water! Make some food for me. I'm hungry!" Seeing that Xia He was the only one around, Kong Li immediately started to act mighty.

She had lived with the Xia family for so long that she already knew who was in charge. Xia He's parents were usually not at home and the helper did not come often. The only person who could be considered to be in charge was Xia He's brother, Xia Wen.

Xia Wen was not around at the moment, so the Kong family mother and daughter could do whatever they wanted in the Xia family's house now.

"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what your sister said? Hurry up and pour some water!" Old Madam Kong sat comfortably on the sofa and ordered Xia He around.

Qiao Mei could hear that Old Madam Kong's tone of voice was comparable to Old Madam Li. She just did not know how it compared with what Qian'e faced. Qian'e said that her grandmother was even scarier than a monster!

"Does Kong Lu know that you're here?" Xia He said, suppressing the anger in her heart.

"Do I have to tell my son that I'm here to see my daughter-in-law? You're not divorced yet! I'm still your mother! Why didn't you give me this month's living expenses! As long as you're not divorced, you have to support me! Go and get the money!" Old Madam Kong pestered.

Kong Li acted as if she was at home and went straight to the kitchen to open the fridge to eat and drink. She ate and drank all the delicacies inside. This was so much more comfortable than when she was at home.
