After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! - Chapter 1736 Stealing
Chapter 1736 Stealing
Xia Zhe silently noted down what Vulture said. Vulture then confiscated the luggage which Xia Zhe and Su Rui brought and gave them new bags containing their new clothes and information about their new identities.
Su Rui was the daughter of a rich family and her father was an important member of the government. His colleagues had accused him of committing a crime and her entire family was captured to be imprisoned. She was the only one who managed to escape via the secret passage in the house and managed to survive until now. Since then, she worked as a barmaid and there were always customers who tried to molest her. In a fit of anger, Su Rui killed one of the customers and had been in hiding until now. She was seeking a way to go to Country Y to have a fresh start.
Fang Chen was the child of parents who were academics. Due to domestic policies, his entire family was persecuted, He lost his family and became an orphan. He had no one to rely on and lived on the streets. He wanted to take this opportunity to sneak into Country Y for career development and take revenge on the country to avenge his parents.
Since both Xia Zhe and Su Rui had good family backgrounds in real life, they did not have to try too hard to pretend to be rich children. They already looked like people who were knowledgeable and had extraordinary backgrounds. It would be easier for them to attract the attention of their targets, who were in the upper echelons, and these people would protect them to a certain extent.
After memorizing the details of their identities, Xia Zhe and Su Rui burned the information sheets and headed south with their luggage. They had to reach the area near the docks before dark so as to ensure that they could sneak into Country Y in the night. The smugglers’ boat did not operate every day.
At home, Qiao Mei tried hard to sense the distance between her and Xia Zhe. She completely lost contact when he was 500 kilometers away from her. After that, she could no longer feel his presence. Only then did it strike her that Xia Zhe had really left the country.
During the days after Xia Zhe left, she continued to live in the military family compound. There were still signs of his presence here and she could not bear to leave. However, she was also a little unaccustomed to the fact that he was not around. Every morning, she would go to the apartment building alone to buy breakfast and then slowly walk home along the path that he usually took to get home.
Qiao Mei sat quietly on the swing near the door. She wanted to relax, but an uninvited guest came to the house.
“Why are you at my house again? What’s the matter today?” Qiao Mei looked at Miao Le and asked with a frown.
“I have nothing to do, so I’m here to visit Sister-in-law,” Miao Le said shamelessly.
Qiao Mei had taken all her money, so she must come to Qiao Mei’s house every day to freeload on food! Even if Qiao Mei was unhappy, she would still turn up. If she ate here every day, she would be able to get back her money’s worth one day.
“I’m not cooking today and not eating either. You can go back,” Qiao Mei said impatiently.
“Then I’ll cook for you! You have to eat. Even if you don’t eat, don’t the two children at home have to eat?” Miao Le said.
Qiao Mei really did not have the energy to argue with Miao Le, so she let Miao Le do whatever she wanted. The chickens and ducks which Qiao Mei bought were already laying eggs and they were very productive. The chickens laid eggs every day, so Qiao Mei already had a whole box of eggs at home which she could not finish eating.
Miao Le took 10 eggs, broke them all together in a bowl and whisked. She had never eaten such delicious scrambled eggs before! Every family would only eat eggs during the festive seasons. Even if they made scrambled eggs, they would mix the eggs with water to fluff up the amount. No one ever ate such pure scrambled eggs.
After Miao Le was done cooking, she brought the dish to the table in the house. When she entered, she saw all kinds of jewelry on Qiao Mei’s dressing table. There were gold, silver and jade items. This was probably the kind of dressing table that all women dreamed of having.
“Hmph, how dare you take my money. You should compensate me with these things! It’s my right to take them! How dare you bully me! How dare you marry so well! You don’t deserve to use these things! These things should belong to me!” Miao Le said self-righteously.
She looked out of the window and saw that Qiao Mei was not paying attention to her. She immediately took a bunch of the jewelry on the dressing table and stuffed as many as she could into her pocket. Xia Fan and Xia Xing just sat on the brick bed and watched as Miao Le committed theft. The two of them did not say anything and just watched quietly.
Miao Le was a little bothered at first, but on second thought, what would the two babies know? They did not even know how to speak. Even if they babbled, Qiao Mei would not be able to understand them.
