Chapter 96 - Mom Is Back!
This incoming visitor’s voice was very loud, as if she wanted everyone nearby to hear her.
Qiao Mei sighed and got up from the stool to take a look.
Now that her family had some money, people came visiting one after another. These people never came by in the past, but now they all came by due to the whiff of money .
Money really made the world go round.
She walked over and saw someone right in front of her. However, she could not recognize the person, and really could not find this person in her memories.
Based on her only memory of her mother, she was a beautiful woman. Although she was not very eloquent, she was very gentle.
She was famous not only in the village, but also in the county.
When Qiao Mei’s father managed to marry Li Gui, the fact broke the hearts of countless men. However, no one would be able to recognize Li Gui from her current appearance.
She looked like… Old Madam Li’s sister or someone.
Li Gui was stunned when she saw Qiao Mei. The fair-skinned girl in front of her was completely different from the Qiao Mei she had imagined.
Isn’t she supposed to be a dark and fat bear?
With a body that is so full of fats that it can be used to make fried lard bits. And that she has a fierce expression on her face and fights with people all the time.
But the person in front of me has such fair skin and exquisite eyes. She looks like me when I was young but even more good-looking.
Every move she makes is indescribably classy.
Just like the city people I have seen in the past.
No!
She is classier than those city people I have seen before.
Wang Qin stood outside the door and was also stunned when she saw Qiao Mei. Her eyes darted around furtively.
Recently, a few older women in the village had been saying that Qiao Mei had become prettier and fairer and looked completely different from before. She did not believe it and thought that they were just trying to curry favor with Qiao Mei.
Now it seemed that they were telling the truth!
“Haven’t I said it before? No one from Second Master Qiao’s family is allowed to come to my house again!”
Qiao Mei had been busy with her pregnancy recently. Coupled with the fact that she was having a good income, she was naturally in a mood to be nice and did not put on an aloof face like before.
Now, with her cute voice and fair little face, she did not exude an imposing aura at all.
Instead, people tended to find her adorable.
Wang Qin did not say anything else and pushed Li Gui towards the door so that Qiao Mei could see Li Gui’s face clearly. “Qiao Mei, do you see who’s back?”
Li Gui fidgeted with her hands and lowered her head to look at the ground.
Qiao Mei took a closer look and asked in surprise, “Mom! You’re back?”
When Li Gui heard that Qiao Mei recognized her and was willing to acknowledge her, there were tears at the corners of her eyes and she sniffled.
Wang Qin did not get the reaction she had expected and pursed her lips. She thought it was amazing for Qiao Mei to be able to recognize Li Gui when she looked like this now. “She said she came to see you.”
“Your mother is really too much. You’ve been married for so long and already gotten pregnant, but she only came to see you now. Don’t you think your mother was sent by your grandmother to persuade you and that her main purpose is to get you to help the Li family!”
It was very normal for the Li family to want to move to the village.
At the moment, there were also many outsiders who wanted to move to Datian Village. It was only due to the resistance of the village officer, Zhao Liang, that there was not a large-scale movement of new residents.
The Li family wanted to come over, but Qiao Qiang did not allow it, so they took the path of asking Li Gui to persuade Qiao Mei.
Wang Qin felt unhappy looking at the exceptionally calm Qiao Mei and pursed her lips. She looked at her and continued, “You don’t know how ruthless your grandmother is. She takes money and things from your mother every month, saying that they are for you. Now that more than 10 years have passed, have you received anything?”
Qiao Mei was stunned. This was far beyond what she had expected.
In the memories of the original owner of the body, her mother had abandoned her so as to have a good life. Other than Qiao Qiang, no one cared about her anymore. The original owner of the body still hated her mother, Li Gui, very much.
Qiao Mei walked up to Li Gui and looked at her seriously. “I didn’t receive anything, including money.”
