Chapter 766 - 766 Being Cautious
766 Being Cautious
Qiao Mei went to the entrance of the village with Auntie Dong and she immediately saw the big poster with Qiao Gui’s crimes written on it. This kind of crime that did not cause any casualties usually received a sentence of around 10 years in jail.
The leaders had discussed among themselves. One thing they took into consideration was that one of the victims was an old war hero like Qiao Qiang who could have his medals hung all over the wall. Furthermore, Xia Zhe was a soldier who was currently serving in the army.
For such a family to be bullied by Qiao Gui to such an extent, he must be severely punished to give everyone else a warning. Even if Qiao Zhuang’s family wanted to plead for leniency, it was impossible. The case had already been sent to the provincial city to be dealt with.
“Qiao Mei, why do you still look unhappy?” Auntie Dong looked at Qiao Mei in confusion.
!!
Finally, Qiao Zhuang’s family would not be able to dominate the village anymore. This was a good thing!
Qiao Mei suddenly thought of what Zhao Liang and Qiao Qiang had said back then, about not pushing someone too hard. Now that Qiao Zhuang’s eldest son was disabled and his second son was in jail, there was only the third son left in the village to take care of him. If the fourth and fifth sons did not come back at all, would he attack Qiao Mei again?
“I’m just afraid that Qiao Zhuang will fight me to the death. Auntie, you’ve lived in this village for a long time, so you should know Qiao Zhuang’s character. What if he still doesn’t give up? What should I do…” Qiao Mei said dejectedly.
Everyone around Qiao Mei comforted her and told her not to worry. They all said that as long as they were around, they would not allow Qiao Zhuang to hurt her.
If everyone worked together, the bad guys would not be able to behave atrociously again.
Qiao Mei and Auntie Dong chatted happily on the way home. When they reached the house, they saw Wang Qin standing at the door with a dark expression and a bamboo basket in her hand. They wondered what was inside.
Auntie Dong immediately stood in front of Qiao Mei warily and shouted at Wang Qin, “What are you doing here!”
Wang Qin actually hated Qiao Mei, but she hated herself more. If she had not come to tell Qiao Mei that day, Qiao Gui would not have gone to jail and she would not have become a living widow. Her life would become even more difficult in the future. However, she was also a little glad that she would be able to leave Qiao Zhuang’s family after Qiao Gui left.

Wang Qin was the one who came up with the money to buy Li Gui’s old house and the house belonged to her. As long as she was still breathing, no one could take the house away from her.
“I’m here to give you money. Qiao Gui is my husband and I’ve brought you the compensation of 500 dollars.” Wang Qin took out a small cloth bag and handed it to Qiao Mei.
Qiao Mei was about to reach out to take it when Auntie Dong grabbed her hand and said, “You! Open it! Show it to us! We don’t trust you!”
Wang Qin had no choice but to do as Auntie Dong said. Seeing that there was no problem with the money, Auntie Dong pointed at a stone on the ground and said, “Put the money on the ground and use that stone to hold it down. Then leave quickly.”
“Are you afraid that I’ll do something?” Wang Qin said.
“Oh! I didn’t say anything! Do you still have anything to say to Qiao Mei? If not, leave quickly! Don’t be an eyesore here! Don’t come again in the future!” Auntie Dong said fiercely.
Wang Qin turned around and left. Auntie Dong hurriedly went forward and used a tree branch to touch the money. It did not look like there was anything unusual, so she picked it up and handed it to Qiao Mei.
“Auntie Dong, you’re so vigilant.” Qiao Mei looked at Auntie Dong with admiration.
“You must do the same as me. There’s nothing good about Qiao Zhuang’s family! What if she had smeared poison on this money? It’s better to be safe than sorry. You have to be careful of them! You’re pregnant now! You have to be especially careful, understand?” Auntie Dong instructed.
Qiao Mei smiled and nodded. She did not expect Auntie Dong to be so vigilant. She definitely had to learn from Auntie Dong and be careful about everything in the future.
Coincidentally, she had finished drying the seeds in the courtyard. Qiao Mei looked at Auntie Dong and asked, “Auntie, are your seeds ready? I remember that you planted them on the same day as me.”
At the mention of the seeds, Auntie Dong could not help but smile. In the past years, she had planted the same amount of seeds and could only produce at most 300 pounds if she was lucky.
In just over a month this year, there were already 800 pounds of seeds! Moreover, they were even more fragrant than usual. Her children all said that they did not want to sell the seeds and wanted to keep them for themselves.
She was also worried that if she kept the seeds at home for a few more days, the children would finish everything. Eating them was a small matter, but eating too much would be too heaty and cause harm to the body!
