"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.
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.

"Hubby, come down if you're tired!" Liu Yun shouted with heartache.
"I'm not tired," Liu Dong replied.
It was not until it was totally dark that Liu Dong finished off the roof of the pigsty in the backyard. His handiwork was even better than Qiao Mei. Tomorrow, those livestock would have a place to stay!
"Sister-in-law! Come and eat! Come inside!" Qiao Mei said.
Qiao Mei had made eight dishes. She served both liquor and meat, and it was even more grand than a new year's meal! Liu Yun and Liu Dong had never done something so grand for dinner in their lives. They were only ever slightly extravagant on the day of their wedding.
"Tell me, is there anything you don't know how to do! Look at the food, it's so fragrant! Even the rice at your house seems better than ours," Liu Yun said enviously.
"If you like it, I'll bring some back for you the next time I go home. These are all homegrown. I'm not used to rice from the capital and I prefer to eat the ones from my hometown. Every year, my relatives and neighbors will send me a lot," Qiao Mei said.
"It comes from so far away! Then there's no need to trouble you. I'll just come to your house occasionally for a quick meal. Just don't chase me away!" Liu Yun said embarrassedly.
"Of course not! Come over whenever you want to eat!" Qiao Mei said.
At first, Liu Yun and Liu Dong were too embarrassed to eat the meat dishes. After all, meat was rare and very expensive. They were already very grateful that Qiao Mei had served it to them. Qiao Mei was so nice to them, so they could not go too overboard and eat up all the meat and vegetables. That would be behaving too badly.
Seeing this, Qiao Mei placed all the meat and vegetables in front of Liu Yun and Liu Dong and kept taking food for Liu Yun. Xia Zhe also understood what Qiao Mei was trying to do and kept putting meat in Liu Dong's bowl.

"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.
