Chapter 2271: Ashes

"Oh my goodness! I'm going to be a father! I'm going to have a child! That's great!" Tan Shi picked up Liu Cui and turned a few rounds happily.

Liu Cui punched Tan Shi's shoulder a few times and said, "I just got pregnant and it's not stable yet! Put me down! If I lose the child, it's all your fault!"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Tan Shi carefully placed Liu Cui on the brick bed and half-squatted down, leaning his head against Liu Cui's stomach.

"The baby hasn't even taken shape yet. What are you listening to?" Liu Cui said as she looked at Tan Shi in disdain.

"I'm connecting with the child! I have telepathy with him!" Tan Shi said excitedly.

"You have to listen to me. Otherwise, I don't want this child and I don't want you either!" Liu Cui threatened.

Tan Shi raised his hand and made an oath. "I'll definitely listen to you in the future. I'll do all the dirty and tiring chores! Just stay at home and take care of the baby! I'll go out and find work tomorrow! I'll take on a few more jobs! I won't let you and the child suffer!"

If Tan Jing saw this scene, she would definitely think that Tan Shi had been possessed. The previously ignorant and incompetent Tan Shi actually showed care for his wife. It was simply a miracle.

During this period of time, Xia Wen had arranged for people to monitor Tan Jing's

movements. Qiao Mei was also busy with work. A week later, Qiao Mei received news from Yao Nian that Old Master Huang had died.

"He... That was fast," Qiao Mei said helplessly as she looked at the information in her hands. That group of people from the Huang family would definitely not let the matter rest. They were greedy to the core and would definitely blame everything on her.

"Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang should stay close to you to protect you. You must bring the two of them with you wherever you go," Xia Wen said.

"I know. Eldest Brother, how do I put in an application to buy a car? I feel that this car is a little too small," Qiao Mei said seriously.

Buying cars in the country was not as easy as buying cars overseas. People without status could not own too many private cars. Being the boss of a private enterprise, Qiao Mei already had two cars registered under her. If she wanted to buy another one, she would have to submit an application.

Xia Wen was stunned for a moment. The car which Qiao Mei was driving now was the latest off-road vehicle. There were so many people who could not buy it even if they wanted to. What kind of car did Qiao Mei want to change to?

"It's still not big enough. I have three children and each child needs a baby car seat. Then the bodyguards or helpers usually need to come along as well. I want to get a MPV with seven seats," Qiao Mei explained.

This point had never crossed Xia Wen's mind. He thought for a moment and said, "Actually, Xia Zhe is also entitled to a car. He has never submitted any application before, so you can actually get one in his name."

"Really? Thank you, Eldest Brother!" Qiao Mei said happily.

"Don't forget what I said. You must have your bodyguards with you all the time or at least bring along the walkie-talkie," Xia Wen reminded her.

"I'll definitely remember," Qiao Mei said.

Sometimes, Qiao Mei wished that she was not so accurate with her predictions. The next morning, the Huang family came over to cause trouble. They created a bigger scene than the Bian family!

The Bian family still had some conscience and did not disturb Old Master Bian's dead soul. The Huang family knelt at Qiao Mei's door with Old Master Huang's urn and wept loudly.

They even invited the funeral band to come along and make a big commotion, as if worried that the neighbors around could not hear them.

"Sigh... Why is there another family crying here again? How many times has it been already?" a neighbor, Auntie Zhou, said resignedly.

"Who knows. Which family is this? Are they at Qiao Mei's house?" another neighbor, Auntie Wang, asked. freёwebnoѵel.com

Auntie Zhou nodded and said, "That's right. Qiao Mei's family is usually quite nice to us. Ever since they moved here, we don't even have to buy any fruits anymore!"

Qiao Mei would always bring back the dented fruits from the orchard and distribute them to the neighbors. Even though these fruits were a little damaged, they still tasted a thousand times better than the ones being sold in the market. Everyone was very grateful to Qiao Mei, especially those who had young children at home.

"Let's get everyone to go and take a look. Qiao Mei's husband is not at home. We can't let these assholes bully her." After Auntie Wang said that, she gathered together all the neighbors who were on good terms with Qiao Mei.

Qiao Mei had put on a windbreaker and was standing lazily at the door. It was not easy for her to fall asleep and get some rest, so she was in a really bad mood to be woken up.

"What are all of you doing here?" Da Zhuang said sulkily.

"Qiao Mei! A life for a life! My father is dead! You have to be buried together with my father!" Huang Zhong hugged Huang Kai's urn and cried loudly.

"As if your father is some kind of royalty and needs someone to be buried with him after he is dead. Is he really that powerful?" Qiao Mei questioned.

"How can you say that! My father is already dead and you still make fun of him! Don't you know what it means to respect the dead!" Huang Zhong said furiously.
