Chapter 1704 I Am Her Elder Sister

"Doesn't he need that money to get married? Why does he want to give me money? It's so abnormal. He must have some ulterior motives!" Qiao Mei said.

"Who knows? The truth will be out when he comes over. I'll go to the army camp tomorrow to get some medicine from the military doctor and I'll only be back at noon," Xia Zhe said.

"Alright, go and lie down. Brother Liu and Sister-in-law Liu will be having dinner here later! Don't let the cat out of the bag," Qiao Mei said with a laugh. n..0velbIn

Xia Zhe left the kitchen reluctantly and returned to the bedroom. He actually wanted to help Qiao Mei with the chores, but in the current situation, Qiao Mei had to take care of him instead.

Liu Yun stood in the backyard and looked at Liu Dong with an expectant look. Liu Dong was so tired and his clothes were soaked in sweat. He looked like he had just been fished out of water.

It was said that men were the most handsome when they were hard at work. That was indeed not nonsense!

"Hubby, come down if you're tired!" Liu Yun shouted with heartache.

In the end, the meat was all piled up in the couple's bowls till they could not see the rice at all.

"It's too much! You must eat too!" Liu Yun said.

"There's still a lot in the pot! Let's all eat it!" Qiao Mei said.

The two families ate happily. Liu Dong was not a talkative person and Xia Zhe did not want to force him into a conversation. In the end, it was only Qiao Mei and Liu Yun talking at the dining table.

This was the first time Xia Zhe had seen Qiao Mei like this. In the capital, the people who interacted with Qiao Mei were all her relatives and it was rare to see her chatting with her neighbors.

"Your surname is Xia, right? Seeing that you're younger than me, I'll call you Xiao Xia! Xiao Xia, you're really lucky to be able to marry such a good wife like Qiao Mei!" Liu Yun said agitatedly after drinking some liquor.

"Sister-in-law is right. I'm really lucky to be able to marry Qiao Mei," Xia Zhe said seriously.

"You have to treat my younger sister well! I'm the eldest at home and I only have younger brothers. I don't have a younger sister or an elder sister. I like Qiao Mei and I just want to acknowledge her as my younger sister. If you dare to bully my younger sister, I definitely won't let you off! I'll deal with you no matter where you go! Do you remember that!" Liu Yun said as she looked at Xia Zhe sternly.

Liu Dong did not stop Liu Yun. Instead, he sat at the side and smiled at her dotingly. Back then, Liu Dong liked Liu Yun for her enthusiasm and kindness, which was why he married her very early.

Everyone thought that theirs was a marriage arranged by their parents since they were from the same village. In fact, it was Liu Dong who sent a matchmaker and expended a lot of effort to marry Liu Yun. On the surface, it looked like he did not do much, but in fact, if he had not taken the initiative, Liu Yun would have married someone else long ago.
