Claiming To Be Relatives

Qiao Mei placed the melon seeds on the table and patted the dust off her hands. She looked at Old Madam Zhang and said, "Why don't you go out and ask around about the kind of relationship I have with the section head of the armed forces department? How dare you come here and cause a ruckus? When I got married, he was the one who sent my 'three turns and one sound' to the village. You didn't even bother to check on this."

These betrothal gifts were indeed sent over by Uncle Chen Hu, but she spared them the complicated details of what happened. It would not be good if they went looking for trouble at Qiao Zhuang's house.

Old Madam Zhang, Zhang Qian and Zhang Cong looked at one another. They did not know that Qiao Mei was so capable that she even knew the section head of the armed forces department. This time, they got completely flustered as they now knew it would be useless even if they went to report her.
