“Don’t you like that house very much? You were still so fond of it just now. Why are you giving up now?” Qiao Mei asked.
“If not for Tan Jing throwing a spanner in the works! I really would have bought that house! But I feel uncomfortable now and I think that the house is not fated to be mine, Do you think she’s our family’s nemesis? Why is it that nothing good happens every time we bump into her? See how Eldest Brother had bad luck for more than 10 years after knowing her,” Qian’e said in disgust.
Qiao Mei knew Qian’e and her temper very well. If she said that she did not want something, then she definitely did not want it anymore. However, that house was indeed a very good property. Qiao Mei felt that she would not make any loss if she kept it as an investment property. It was just 30,000 dollars and an easy purchase. She decided to just buy it, even if just to spite Tan Jing.
“Then I’ll take it. Don’t secretly come crying to me later,” Qiao Mei said with a laugh.
“Don’t worry, I won’t. Besides, there are so many other houses out there. Don’t
I still have the courtyard house I bought some time ago? I’m going to get Big Brother Deng to renovate it for me. Then, I’ll get the feng Shui master to take a
look and see what I should put in the house to make me rich,” Qian’e said happily.
Qiao Mei suddenly thought of the God of Fortune that Qian’e had given her some time ago. The statue was still at home and Qiao Mei had specially set up a room for it. Qiao Qiang would go and pay his respects every day.
“Shouldn’t you pray for marriage? All you think about is getting rich,” Qiao Mei said disdainfully.
Qian’e was getting older and Qiao Mei wanted her to find a good husband. She should not waste her life only on her career. She should also have a blissful life of her own.
“Who would say no to money! Don’t tell me you will!” Qian’e questioned.
Qiao Mei was unable to refute that point of view. She grinned and said, “Take your time then. Anyway, I know that your good days are coming!’
After Xiang Chen accepted the offer from Qian’e to work at the factory, he had been working diligently, hoping that he could spend more time with Qian’e. However, after Xiang Chen started work, Qian’e had been focused on the matters of buying properties and renovating her new house. During this period of time, she had left all the factory matters to Li Gui.
The path to true love required patience. Xiang Chen still needed to continue
working hard.
Recently, Qiao Mei had shut herself in the study to study the functions of the luminous pearl. She even bought many chickens, ducks and geese and kept them inside the room. She tried her best to communicate with them every day and looked like she was doing something mysterious, making Feng Hua and Xu Kang very worried for her.
“Sigh. Say, Mei Mei has locked herself in the room after she’s done with the examination. She used to cook often and will also go out to talk to the neighbors. Why has her temperament changed so drastically? It’s already been a week. It’s not good for her health to stay inside the room like this. Should we talk to Old Mr. Qiao?” Xu Kang looked at Feng Hua, looking puzzled.
“How will we know what the boss intends to do? Perhaps there’s something important going on recently? Don’t you remember that Qiao Mei also locked herself in the study when she was studying? Maybe Mei Mei is learning zoology now,” Feng Hua guessed.
“What’s zoology? Is it about giving treatment to small animals?” Xu Kang asked.
“l don’t know. My son told me about this term. He said it’s knowledge related to animals. Otherwise, why would Qiao Mei want to be locked up with a bunch of domestic fowls? She doesn’t even seem to mind the smell,” Feng Hua said.
“What you say makes sense. I’ll send these two little black dogs to Qiao Mei for her research within the next two days!” Xu Kang said.
“There’s no need. The dogs are already in the room. All the live animals in the house are in the study,” Feng Hua said helplessly.
“Then should I buy a few cats?” Xu Kang asked.
“That sounds good. Go to the market and take a look. Buy a cat that’s more docile. It won’t be good if the cat hurts the children,” Feng Hua instructed.
“Got it, got it! I’ll go now!” Xu Kang went to the alley to talk to the neighbors.
The market from where Qiao Qiang bought the dogs only operated once a month. It had already opened for business this month, so if they wanted to buy a cat from there, they would have to wait until next month. Xu Kang felt that Qiao Mei could not wait that long, so she brought a fruit basket and went around the neighbors’ houses.
Perhaps there would be someone who had a cat that they could not keep. Then she could take over the care of the cat. It was not a bad deal to get a cat in exchange for a fruit basket.
Qiao Mei sat on the small stool and looked at the ducks as she said, “Can you talk to me, or just tell me about what you like to eat..”
