1598 We Must Live With Dignity
âSister, Iâm here. Howâs your wound? This is a very good ointment from my hometown. You must try it!â 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.
âCome 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! Donât you think this is nonsense! Sheâs 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,â 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 Nuoâs husband had to go to work. The childrenâs 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.
âHow old are the two children?â Qiao Mei asked.
âOh my, let me try and recall⊠The older one is probably 16 years old and the younger one should be already 10 years old,â Liu Yun said after some thought.
âThatâs old enough. Canât we just teach the two children how to cook?â Qiao Mei said with a smile.
âIs that even possible? My children are already 20 years old! Yet they donât even know how to cook! They can even burn the scrambled eggs!â Liu Yun said disdainfully.
âYes, itâs 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,â Qiao Mei said firmly.
âWonât 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!â Liu Yun said as she looked at the various ingredients with heartache.
âAs long as itâs not totally inedible, they can still eat it. If they have to eat food thatâs not tasty, they will find ways to improve. Isnât this how we all learn to cook in the beginning?â Qiao Mei said.
âYouâre right! Then letâs do that! When the children are back, Iâll teach them how to cook rice and then weâll 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,â Liu Yun said.
After their discussion, they told Wang Nuo about their proposed solution. Wang Nuo looked at them gratefully and said, âIâve really troubled all of you this time round. Youâve all been so helpful to me, especially Qiao Mei. Weâve only just met and Iâm so embarrassed to have to trouble you.â
âWhat are you saying? Youâre also very nice to me. Everyone treats me very well. Neighbors should help one another!â Qiao Mei said.
âBut 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 canât just let it go like this!â Zhang Cai said furiously.
âThatâs right. We have to teach that b*tch Lu Lin a lesson! Otherwise, sheâll think that weâre easy to bully!â Liu Yun said angrily.
Wang Nuo sat at the side and sighed. âForget it. We canât afford to offend them at all. Even if we confront them, we donât have any evidence to prove that they did it.â
Qiao Mei thought for a moment and said, âEverything 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 wonât be difficult to deal with this matter.â
âThose people over there all sing the same tune. They all look down on us, so why will anyone speak up for us?â Zhang Cai said dejectedly.
âLetâs ask them one by one! There will definitely be someone whoâs willing to help us!â Qiao Mei said.
âThen letâs give it a try! If it really doesnât work out, weâll go to the police! If the army doesnât want to care about these things, then letâs blow this matter up! We must live with dignity! Since theyâre so shameless, then what are we afraid of!â Liu Yun said agitatedly.
After treating Wang Nuoâs 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!
