735 Discussing Countermeasures
Qiao Fu returned to his room and looked at the ceiling regretfully. His wife and daughter were gone and he had spent all his money. All these were caused by Qiao Mei. If not for Qiao Mei, his life would not have been so tough.
He must settle this score with her.
Qiao Fu asked Qiao Gui and Qiao Wang to come and discuss countermeasures with him. He felt that they could not let Qiao Mei bully them anymore.
“Eldest brother, why are you looking for us?” Qiao Wang asked.
Qiao Fu looked at the two of them with a grin and quickly invited them into his room. He even brought out the most precious liquor at home.
“Eldest brother! This is the liquor that our father always hides away! You’ll get beaten up if you drink it!” Qiao Gui said nervously.
“Don’t worry. Drink it boldly,” Qiao Fu said nonchalantly.
Qiao Wang sat at one side in silence. He could tell that Qiao Fu wanted them to do something. He probably had a favor to ask of them.
“Say, our family was originally living a good life, so how did a little girl cause so much trouble! Shouldn’t we do something?” Qiao Fu said as he looked at his two brothers.
Qiao Wang instantly understood what Qiao Fu meant and said with a smile, “Eldest brother, let’s not provoke her. That girl is very capable. I must say that I can’t handle her. Let’s just live our days well. As long as we have nothing to do with her, we won’t suffer any losses.”
Qiao Fu slapped his thigh and said angrily, “Coward! To think that you’re our father’s son. What can a little girl do! Get lost, get lost. Don’t be an eyesore in front of me and spoil the mood… Second brother, let’s drink.”
Qiao Wang hurriedly left Qiao Fu’s room and returned to his own room. As soon as he entered, Jiang Ye grabbed him tightly.
“Eldest brother didn’t cause trouble for you, did he?” Jiang Ye looked at Qiao Wang nervously to see if he was injured.
“I’m fine. Eldest brother is trying to trick our second brother into finding trouble with Qiao Mei. I acted a little weak so my eldest brother asked me to get lost. We can’t get involved in such nasty business,” Qiao Wang said.
In this family, the third son, Qiao Wang, was the smartest. The eldest son, Qiao Fu, was ruthless, but he was stupid and very impulsive. The second son was also a simple-minded person. If not for Wang Qin planning everything, he would have starved to death long ago.
Qiao Wang did not intend to get involved in murder for money. It was enough for him to live a peaceful life with Jiang Ye. He did not want to get involved in anything else.
“They’re planning to harm Qiao Mei. I left after hearing them say a few words,” Qiao Wang said.
Jiang Ye looked at the door uneasily. Although she was a housewife, she also knew how Qiao Zhuang treated the young Qiao Mei back then. It was already good enough that Qiao Mei did not take revenge on him.
Now, the eldest and second sons of this family still wanted to take revenge on her. This was simply unreasonable.
“Do they still have any conscience? They can’t blame Qiao Mei for these things. Isn’t it all because of Wang Qin’s greed? Why are they looking for trouble with Qiao Mei?” Jiang Ye muttered on the brick bed.
Qiao Wang liked Jiang Ye’s kind character. She would not harm anyone and she taught their children well. When his two older brothers’ children saw him, they did not even address him as Third Uncle and did not have any manners. It would be a real disaster if they grew up to be like those stupid people in their families.
“Alright, you’re not allowed to interfere in this matter. Rest early.” Qiao Wang blew out the lights and quickly fell asleep.
For the next few days, Qiao Fu and Qiao Gui would wake up early and go near Qiao Mei’s house to check out the timing and route of her usual trip up the mountain. They only dared to make a move on the fourth day.
Qiao Wang was afraid that if Qiao Fu really did something bad, it would be difficult for everyone to clean up the mess. He tried to tell Qiao Zhuang both explicitly and covertly, but Qiao Zhuang did not take it to heart at all.
Jiang Ye was really worried and often went to the area near the back mountain of Qiao Mei’s house in the afternoon to see if Qiao Fu and Qiao Gui had really gone to cause trouble for Qiao Mei.
Pregnancy was a difficult time for a woman. Giving birth was like hovering around the gates of hell. Back then, when she gave birth, she almost bled out and died. If Qiao Fu did anything outrageous, it was very likely that Qiao Mei would not be able to keep her life.
As soon as Qiao Mei and Qiao Qiang came down the mountain, they saw Jiang Ye. Jiang Ye quickly held Qiao Mei’s hand and walked to the side for a chat, but she could not just tell Qiao Mei that Qiao Fu and Qiao Gui were out to harm her.
Jiang Ye was so anxious that she sweated profusely and did not know how to express herself to Qiao Mei.
