After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

Now, there was only Shen Ge, Wang Qin, Jiang Ye and Cao Zhi, the fourth son's wife, left in the house. Among them, Wang Qin did not do any chores. After all, this had been the rule for many years. If she was asked to do housework, the entire family would be turned upside down.

"But we have so many children at home. Even if all our wives chip in, they can't do everything. Moreover, I have three sons at home. My wife already can't cope," said the third son, Qiao Wang.

Jiang Ye looked at Qiao Wang, feeling touched. She was a stupid person by nature and did not regret marrying Qiao Wang. Qiao Wang was smarter than her and did not beat and scold her like what his father did to his own wife. He took good care of her too.

Compared to the rest of the family, she was already very lucky.

"Let's talk about the future later! Where did Qiao Yu go?" Qiao Zhuang looked around the house but could not find Qiao Yu. Even Shen Ge had disappeared.

"Don't tell me Qiao Yu has run away!" Wang Qin shouted.

"Why are you shouting! Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on her! What is this!" Qiao Zhuang shouted fiercely.

Wang Qin lowered her head silently and did not dare to say anything else. She was in the wrong in this matter. In the afternoon, Qiao Zhuang had reminded her to lock Qiao Yu up properly. At that time, she was very unhappy with what Auntie Dong said and forgot about this matter.

Shen Ge had long slipped away through the back door with Qiao Yu and they were now making their way to the train station in the county city, not daring to delay any longer.

The two of them walked for the entire afternoon until dark, but they still had not managed to reach the county city.

"Mother… let's take a break. I can't walk anymore!" Qiao Yu said breathlessly.

"No. Xiao Yu, you have to reach the county city before dawn. Hang in there. We're almost there," Shen Ge said.

Qiao Yu really could not walk anymore. She had not eaten anything for many days. Now that she had walked for an entire afternoon, she simply did not have any strength left.

If they did not manage to reach the county city by dawn, they would be captured by Qiao Zhuang and would have made a wasted escape attempt.

"Let's go… let's push on," Qiao Yu said.

The two of them supported each other and walked for another two hours. Qiao Yu was really exhausted by then and sat by the roadside to rest. Shen Ge took out the steamed buns she had stolen from home and handed them to Qiao Yu.

"Eat something," Sheng Ge said.

Qiao Yu broke the steamed bun into two and handed one piece to Shen Ge. "Mother, you should eat too."

Shen Ge smiled and shook her head as she pushed the steamed bun back. Feeling consoled, she said, "I'm not hungry. You can eat it all."

Qiao Yu's eyes instantly welled up with tears. She had heard this sentence countless times since she was young. Sheng Ge would give her any food she had and would always say that she did not like it or that she was not hungry yet.

She had heard such lies countless times.

On such a quiet night, the two of them leaned against each other. Shen Ge stared intently at Qiao Yu, afraid that she would never see her again after tonight.

"Mother, why are you looking at me like that?" Qiao Yu asked curiously.

Shen Ge wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "I just feel that I've let you down. I gave birth to you in the Qiao family and you've suffered so much. Now, you still have to live your life as a runaway."

Qiao Yu put down the steamed bun in her hand. She felt that her life was tough, but she blamed everything on the Qiao family, not Shen Ge. She had always been grateful to Shen Ge for giving her life and doing her best to protect her.

"It's not your fault. It's all my father's fault and has nothing to do with you. Mother, come with me. As long as we work hard, we can make a living. You're courting death if you go back," Qiao Yu said.

If Qiao Zhuang and the others found out that Shen Ge had let Qiao Yu go, they would definitely not give up even after Shen Ge went back. It would be good enough if they did not beat her to death.

It would be better for the two of them to leave this place together and settle down somewhere else. No matter how tough it was, could it be worse than being at Qiao Zhuang's house?

"Mother won't be able to leave in this lifetime. I'm old. If I go out, I'll only be a burden to you. Don't worry, Qiao Zhuang won't do anything to me. Now that you're gone, and Qiao Hua and Liu Ying are also gone, there's no one else to do the chores at home. He won't beat me to death," Shen Ge said with a smile.

That smile looked very glaring to Qiao Yu, like a needle stabbing into her eyes.

The two of them had just rested and were about to leave when they heard the sound of a car behind them. They hurriedly ran into the cornfield at the side and stayed motionless.
