1598 We Must Live With Dignity
“Sister, I’m here. How’s your wound? This is a very good ointment from my hometown. You must try it!” Qiao Mei said as she entered the house.
At the moment, Zhang Cai and Liu Yun were trying to persuade Wang Nuo to take a rest. When they saw Qiao Mei, it was as if they had seen their savior. Liu Yun hurriedly pulled Qiao Mei into the living room.
“Come and help us think of a way to make Wang Nuo listen to us. She wants to get out of bed to cook for the children! Don’t you think this is nonsense! She’s already so badly injured, yet she still wants to do the chores. Her two children have gone out to play and will be back soon,” Liu Yun said.
Liu Yun and the other women had their own families to take care of. Each of them had two or three children and they did not have the time to stay and help Wang Nuo. Qiao Mei was pregnant and also had to take care of two babies, while Wang Nuo’s husband had to go to work. The children’s school fees for the second half of the year still needed to be paid.
Even if they all took turns to help Wang Nuo take care of the children, it could only be a temporary measure. As the saying went, it would take 100 days for one to recover from a serious injury! There was no way that they could help out for such a long time.
“How old are the two children?” Qiao Mei asked.
“Oh my, let me try and recall… The older one is probably 16 years old and the younger one should be already 10 years old,” Liu Yun said after some thought.
“That’s old enough. Can’t we just teach the two children how to cook?” Qiao Mei said with a smile.
“Is that even possible? My children are already 20 years old! Yet they don’t even know how to cook! They can even burn the scrambled eggs!” Liu Yun said disdainfully.
“Yes, it’s possible. My younger brothers are 13 and 11 years old. They both know how to cook. My seven-year-old sister can also cook. As long as the child can reach the stove, the child can learn how to cook,” Qiao Mei said firmly.
“Won’t it be a waste of food if they cook badly! The last time my son cooked, we had to throw everything away! My heart ached so much!” Liu Yun said as she looked at the various ingredients with heartache.
“As long as it’s not totally inedible, they can still eat it. If they have to eat food that’s not tasty, they will find ways to improve. Isn’t this how we all learn to cook in the beginning?” Qiao Mei said.
“You’re right! Then let’s do that! When the children are back, I’ll teach them how to cook rice and then we’ll each teach them one dish! This can definitely help their family tide through this period. We can also all cook a bit more and share with their family,” Liu Yun said.
After their discussion, they told Wang Nuo about their proposed solution. Wang Nuo looked at them gratefully and said, “I’ve really troubled all of you this time round. You’ve all been so helpful to me, especially Qiao Mei. We’ve only just met and I’m so embarrassed to have to trouble you.”
“What are you saying? You’re also very nice to me. Everyone treats me very well. Neighbors should help one another!” Qiao Mei said.
“But what about the money for her treatment? Are we going to let that b*tch get away with it? Also, they trampled my cabbages! We can’t just let it go like this!” Zhang Cai said furiously.
“That’s right. We have to teach that b*tch Lu Lin a lesson! Otherwise, she’ll think that we’re easy to bully!” Liu Yun said angrily.
Wang Nuo sat at the side and sighed. “Forget it. We can’t afford to offend them at all. Even if we confront them, we don’t have any evidence to prove that they did it.”
Qiao Mei thought for a moment and said, “Everything she stepped on definitely has her shoe prints on them. Moreover, so many people saw the child pushing you. As long as we can find the witnesses, I believe it won’t be difficult to deal with this matter.”
“Those people over there all sing the same tune. They all look down on us, so why will anyone speak up for us?” Zhang Cai said dejectedly.
“Let’s ask them one by one! There will definitely be someone who’s willing to help us!” Qiao Mei said.
“Then let’s give it a try! If it really doesn’t work out, we’ll go to the police! If the army doesn’t want to care about these things, then let’s blow this matter up! We must live with dignity! Since they’re so shameless, then what are we afraid of!” Liu Yun said agitatedly.
After treating Wang Nuo’s wound, they sat down and thought about what to do next before they headed home.
Qiao Mei went home to prepare dinner. Tonight, she wanted to make a nice meal for Xia Zhe. She would make him the most sumptuous meal!
