Chapter 1701 Irreconcilable

Just like that, Liu Yun and Wang Nuo bantered with each other. Miao Le was so embarrassed that she could not even raise her head. She carried the child and ran home. No one knew what she might say to the neighbors when she returned to the apartment building!

"Look at her! How shameless! She can't take good care of the child and wants to palm the work off to someone else! The child was originally so chubby but look at his size now!" Wang Nuo said angrily.

"Enough! You should calm down. This is that child's fate. We can't even take good care of ourselves, how can we have the energy to take care of other people's children?" Liu Yun said with a deep sigh. novE/lb.In

"I heard from Qiao Mei that some time ago, she made mushy vegetables and a bowl of steamed egg for Zhuang Zhuang every day. Guess what happened in the end! Miao Le ate all the steamed egg and only gave Zhuang Zhuang the mushy vegetables! Do you think this is something a human being should do?" Wang Nuo said.

"Really? No wonder Zhuang Zhuang doesn't gain weight no matter what he eats. When Zhuang Zhuang was six months old, Miao Le even asked Rong Xiao to take care of the child. Rong Xiao fattened Zhuang Zhuang up after one month. After he was sent back to Miao Le, the child became so skinny again!" Liu Yun said resentfully.

Rong Xiao could be considered one of the few righteous people who lived in the apartment building. She and her husband were very nice people with very straightforward personalities and she liked to interact with Liu Yun and the rest. Sometimes, Liu Yun and the rest would also give Rong Xiao some fresh vegetables which they grew themselves. These few women got along very well.

"It's fine, ladies. I don't care what they say about me," Qiao Mei said.

"Yes! That's how you should think! I'm still worried that you will be too kind-hearted because you feel sorry for that child," Wang Nuo said.

Qiao Mei looked sad as she said, "Sigh... that child's situation is indeed heartbreaking. I'm also a mother and can't bear to see children suffer, but I only have enough to feed my own children and I don't have the extra capacity to take care of other people's children."

While everyone was chatting, the people from the county city came to deliver the goods. Three men came and unloaded a load of bricks. The shop even gave her a lot of tiles for free!

"Qiao Mei, did you buy all these? Are you going to rebuild the house?" Liu Yun asked curiously.

"I think it's a pity that the backyard is so empty. Our family can't eat that much vegetables, so I want to build a pigsty," Qiao Mei said truthfully.

"What? You want to build a pigsty yourself? Do you know how to build one?" Wang Nuo asked Qiao Mei in surprise.

"Of course I do! I'm from the countryside! Have you forgotten!" Qiao Mei said with a smile.
