After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! Chapter 250

Chapter 250 - Getting Drunk

Qiao Mei smiled and nodded. She liked the current warm and happy atmosphere very much.

She had already intended to come to the capital to find a way to sell ginseng. This way, she could buy a few houses to keep for their future value or buy some antiques. She could also make some money while she went to school later.

If she went to the medicinal store or found private buyers, she was worried that people would report her to the authorities and she would get interrogated. She might even get cheated out of her money.

It might be better to just give it to the Xia family. People in the family could be trusted.

“Then what do you plan to do with your 100-year-old ginseng?” Xia Fang asked.

Qiao Mei thought for a moment and said, “I haven’t decided yet. My intention is to exchange it for a house.”

“In that case, I have an idea,” Xia Fang said with a smile.

It would take too long to sell the 100-year-old ginseng for money first and then buy a house. Even without going into a detailed appraisal of its worth, very few people would be able to afford it.

However, it would be easier to exchange it for a house by way of a mutual agreement. After all, it was rare to see ginseng which was 100 years old. A house was only as valuable as its price but this ginseng could save lives.

“When the time comes, we’ll just ask around with the neighbors and see which family is willing to do an exchange,” Xia Fang said.

Liu Yang suddenly waved his hand and said, “It’s such a loss to exchange it for a house. It would be better to sell it for cash. You may still have money left after buying a house. If you exchange for a house, don’t you need to renovate the interior?”

What Liu Yang said also made sense, but if this 100-year-old ginseng was put up for sale now, it could probably be sold for more than 100,000 dollars. No one would be able to fork out that amount of money. Exchanging it for a house with a courtyard in the capital would not be a loss-making deal.

“It’s alright, Uncle. The house is more important. Some people are not interested in money, but they might be willing to exchange it with me for this ginseng!” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

Xia Fang liked Qiao Mei more and more. This child was a smart girl and could get exactly what she meant.

“That’s true. Mei Mei is so smart and thoughtful. Sigh, Uncle didn’t think about that.” After saying that, Liu Yang took another sip of liquor.

“You’re definitely not as smart as my Mei Mei,” Xia Fang said.

“I’m already old and getting useless. Of course I’m not as smart as Mei Mei,” Liu Yang said.

Qiao Mei looked at Xia Fang and Liu Yang bickering with each other and it made her recall how she would quarrel with her grandfather over trivial matters at home.

“Are we going to look at houses tomorrow?” Qiao Mei asked.

“Sure, I have nothing to do anyway. Let’s go and have a look tomorrow,” Xia Fang said gently.

Liu Yang gently knocked on the table and said, “Mei Mei, you have to remember that I’m your real uncle! You must remember! If you have any problems in the future, don’t just look for your aunt. Come look for me, I can help you with anything!”

“What a brag. What else can you do besides treating illnesses?” Xia Fang said.

“I can do a lot of things! Tsk, you just don’t know,” Liu Yang said tipsily.

“Sure! I’ll look for my real uncle when the time comes,” Qiao Mei said to Liu Yang with a grin.

When Liu Yang heard this, he was overjoyed. He clapped his hands and said, “That’s right, that’s right. When your grandfather comes to the capital, I must have a drink with him. I’ll give all the good liquor in my house to your grandfather!”

“Uncle, I’m not sure you’ll be willing to part with them.” Qiao Mei looked at Liu Yang in disbelief.

“Of course I’m willing! I have to!” Liu Yang said.

They laughed heartily throughout their conversation. After sending Liu Yang off after dinner, Qiao Mei took a good look at the new items she bought today.

After Qiao Mei hung the landscape painting in Xia Fang’s study, the entire room had a different feel all of a sudden. It had looked cold and empty with the original setup where there were only bookshelves and a desk.

With the calligraphy painting hung up, the room suddenly had a much more scholarly feel.

The other things left were the jade bangle on her wrist and the other bangle in the box. She heard that Xia Zhe had an older sister, so she would wait and see if his sister liked it.

These things only cost a few hundred dollars. She wanted far more than that and these things were not worth mentioning at all in the grander scheme of things. Since Aunt was so good to her, there was nothing that she could not bear to part with. It was fine to even give them all to Aunt.

Qiao Mei transmigrated into a novel as a supporting character with the same name as her who lacked presence. This supporting character was a country bumpkin who couldn’t get married due to her obesity. According to the original script, this country girl Qiao Mei was a fatty spoiled by her grandfather. However, their relatives were all vicious and cruel people. Her grandfather had poor health, so once he died, the relatives would divide and swallow up his assets. Hence, her grandfather’s greatest wish was to marry Qiao Mei off. For this, even sacrificed and betrayed his good friend’s grandson, Xia Zhe. Grandpa got Xia Zhe drunk and had Qiao Mei forcibly take the strong and handsome Xia Zhe with her body which weighed more than two hundred pounds. Then, grandpa would catch them the next day and force Xia Zhe to marry Qiao Mei. However, that eventually caused the start of Qiao Mei’s unfortunate life. Also, in the original story, Qiao Mei took possession of Xia Zhe’s mysterious jade. But due to Qiao Mei’s stupidity, her cousin's sister had tricked Qiao Mei into giving her the jade, which resulted in the cousin’s family becoming rich. When Qiao Mei transmigrated here, it was during the awkward moment when she was making love to the man after making him drunk. She woke up groggily the next day and grandpa’s team had already appeared at the door. Qiao Mei was frightened. She didn’t want to proceed on the original path and marry a man who didn’t love her. And so, she lied and chased grandpa away. She also pushed the man out before forcing herself to look at her tanned and chubby reflection in the mirror! Alas, she cried at her ugly appearance… Like a sumo wrestler in large cloth underwear, even the plus-sized apparel shops didn’t have clothes in her size. And her face was the size of a pizza, a scorched pizza! Qiao Mei decided to reform her life! The first step, lose weight! The second step, clean up her room! She used to be particular about cleanliness, and although her current house had a huge courtyard, she could only describe it as messy! The third step was to hold onto the jade tightly so her greedy cousin wouldn’t stand a chance! Only, wasn’t the tall and handsome Xia Zhe supposed to hate her according to the original story? Why was he being nicer and nicer to her?
