After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

856 Running Into an Acquaintance

“I’m going to visit my relative. She’s about to give birth. I’m going to take a look,” Qiao Yu said casually.

This was the first time Qiao Yu had revealed anything about her relatives to them. Everyone pricked up their ears to listen to the conversation between Qiao Yu and the older woman. The woman also knew what everyone was thinking.

“Your relative? Where is your relative staying?” the older woman asked curiously.

Qiao Yu mentioned the name of Xia Zhe’s neighborhood to the older woman and everyone gasped. The people who lived in that neighborhood were not ordinary people. That was something which was beyond them in their lives.

“Oh heavens! You have relatives who live there!” an older woman on another bed stuck her head out and said in surprise.

Qiao Yu behaved as if she was used to it. She nodded calmly and said confidently, “Yes, my niece lives there.”

They did not expect Qiao Yu to be an elder at such a young age! No wonder her relatives would help her find a job and give her all kinds of benefits. So there was an existence of such a relationship. They had all underestimated her.

“Then is your niece also from the countryside? I didn’t expect her to be so rich.” The older woman in the lower bunk still did not believe what Qiao Yu said and probed carefully.

These prestigious families in the capital were most particular about being of equal social status. How could a powerful family allow a villager to marry into their family? It would not sound good if word got out.

“Sigh, she’s just lucky. Her grandfather and my father are biological brothers. Her grandfather was in the army and he saved one of his comrades. They agreed on an arranged marriage between their grandchildren, which is why my niece married into their family.” Qiao Yu did not hide the envy that she felt.

It was useless even if she tried to hide it. If she tried to hide her feelings too much, it would make people feel that she was hypocritical. Who would not be envious of such luck? Even people like them, who had their household registers in the city and had lived in the capital all their lives, would be envious of such an experience.

It seemed that Qiao Yu was telling the truth. In the future, they all had to treat Qiao Yu well and not provoke her for no reason. It seemed that she could become part of a wealthy family.

However, her niece was also quite a nice person. Even though she had succeeded in life, she did not forget to help her aunt from the village. From this, they could tell that this person was a kind girl. In the future, if they were in trouble, this girl might be able to help them too!

“Then go ahead. I’ll leave the door open for you!” the older woman in the lower bunk said obsequiously.

After knowing Qiao Yu’s background, everyone’s attitude towards her changed a lot. When the news started to spread throughout the factory tomorrow, even more people would probably become polite to her!

“Thank you, sister!” Qiao Yu said happily.

Before she left, she even brought along her meal coupons. The canteen provided mess tins, so she could just use the tins there.

Did she have to eat in the canteen by herself before going to her relative’s place? It seemed that they were not very close. However, it was understandable. After all, she was of no value to her niece. Her niece was only helping out because they were relatives.

If Qiao Yu pushed her luck, her niece might not be willing to help her anymore!

Qiao Yu looked at the dishes in the canteen and could not bear to order any. She bought a portion of rice and took some free soup and made that a meal.

To call the liquid in the bowl a soup would be an insult to an actual dish of soup. When one scooped out a portion with a soup ladle, one would not even see any sign of oil in it. There were only a few vegetable pieces floating around and the rest was just water. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was simply water used to wash vegetables and then heated up.

Qiao Yu happily went to the cinema with the movie ticket. She could not bear to pay for a ride and could only walk to the cinema. It cost 20 cents per ride!

That amount of money was enough to eat meat and vegetables! She was already used to walking on the mountain road. Anyway, it was still early, so it did not matter if she took a walk.

When she approached the cinema, she was deeply attracted by a rich milky fragrance. After being in the capital for so long, this was the first time she had encountered such a sweet smell!

She slowly followed the direction of the fragrance and saw a popcorn stall that was surrounded by people. Li Gui and Zhang Wei were shouting among the crowd. At first, Qiao Yu still did not realize that it was her old acquaintances. She queued up with the crowd, but the closer she got to the front, the more she felt that something was wrong.

Is that Li Gui! Why is she in the capital!

Qiao Yu was so shocked that she fled to a corner to peep at them. After observing carefully, she realized that it was really Li Gui and the children. She did not expect them to have come to the capital.
