n606 I Cannot Let Him Off

n“Grandfather, why are you back?” Qiao Mei was also a little surprised.

nWhen Qiao Qiang was halfway to his destination, he remembered that today was the day he could go to the brigade to get his salary, so he thought about going to Zhao Liang’s place to get it first before giving his good friend a call.

nThe moment he reached home, he saw these two heartless beasts threatening Qiao Mei. He had heard everything about the He family and did not miss a single word.

n“The two of you are really fantastic. Get lost now! Get out of my house and the village! If you come again, I’ll call the police to come and arrest you!” Qiao Qiang roared angrily.

nThis voice was like a thunderclap that shook them so much that they did not dare to move. It was also like the god of death whispering to them.

nIt was too late for them to regret anything now.

n“Father, listen to our explanation!” Liang Guo said nervously.

nQiao Qiang used all his strength to give Liang Guo a kick in the stomach. Liang Guo collapsed to the ground and groaned in pain.

nQiao Mei almost applauded Qiao Qiang! This was the first time she had seen Qiao Qiang hit someone. No matter how much of a bastard any of Qiao Zhuang’s family members was, he had never hit any of them.

nIt seemed that the Liang siblings had really infuriated Qiao Qiang.

n“I don’t want to hear what you have to say. What is the Wang family or Li family? Go back and tell the person who harmed Qiao Mei that if he wants to harm Qiao Mei, he has to step over me first! I want to see who dares to touch my granddaughter!” Qiao Qiang roared.

nLiang Lan immediately helped Liang Guo up and left the courtyard. After this time, they would never come back again.

nAt this moment, Qiao Mei was quietly trying to sneak back into her room while sliding along the boundary wall when Qiao Qiang grabbed her.

n“Where are you going?” Qiao Qiang said.

nQiao Mei smiled awkwardly and said, “Grandfather, you must be hungry. I’ll go make you some food…”

n“I’m not hungry. Tell me about those things they mentioned just now. Is there someone in the capital who wants to harm you?” Qiao Qiang said sternly.

nQiao Mei obediently sat back on the recliner and told him honestly about how the He family had tried to harm her and how she had retaliated. She did not dare to miss a single detail.

nQiao Qiang sat quietly opposite Qiao Mei and did not say a word. He was as steady as a stone statue.

n“Grandfather… that’s all… Look, I’m fine now. Don’t be angry,” Qiao Mei said guiltily.

n“I’m not angry. You should have told me all these things. You shouldn’t have hidden it from me,” Qiao Qiang said with a sigh.

nIf she had told Qiao Qiang, he would definitely beat Xia Zhe to death…

nFor the sake of Xia Zhe’s safety, she definitely could not tell him these things!

n“What’s the situation in the capital now? Do they still want to harm you?” Qiao Qiang asked.

n“I don’t think so. He Ning needs our family’s ginseng. He won’t attack me for now. The person who attacked me was his niece, not him. I don’t think that’s his intention,” Qiao Mei said.

nQiao Qiang already had an idea about everything. He had a feeling that this person called He Ning would not let the matter rest and would definitely come looking for her.

nSeeing that Qiao Qiang was engrossed in his thoughts, Qiao Mei tugged at his sleeve and said, “Grandfather, don’t be angry with me. Don’t blame Xia Zhe either. He didn’t know about this beforehand. Besides, I’m all fine and in front of you now, so don’t be angry. I won’t dare to do it again!”

n“Hmph, don’t try to put in a good word for that kid! No matter how busy he is, how can he not care about you! When he comes back next time, I’ll definitely teach him a lesson! Let him suffer a bit!” Qiao Qiang said.

nSigh, Xia Zhe could only pray for himself now.

n“By the way, grandfather, I’m thinking about installing a telephone at home. Do you know how to do it?” Qiao Mei asked.

nIt was not an easy thing. They had to go to the brigade to apply for it. Moreover, there was no phone line in the entire village. What if everyone came to their house to make telephone calls after their family installed one?

nIt was very expensive to make phone calls now and even though they could afford it, they could not let others take advantage of them for nothing.

nNow that Qiao Mei was in quite an advanced stage of pregnancy, it would affect her if too many people came by and disturbed her rest. He thought that they should think about this later.

n“It’s not easy to do it now. Let’s do it next spring,” Qiao Qiang said vaguely.

nQiao Mei considered it seriously. It was still unknown if they would still be staying here next year. By that time, she would probably be at the capital to prepare for delivery, and would bring Qiao Qiang along with her. It seemed quite useless to get a phone line now, so she decided to take Qiao Qiang’s advice.
