I Want to Eat Fish

Like Qiao Qiang, Qiao Mei pretended not to see anything and walked straight into the house.

When He Ning saw Qiao Mei coming back, he smiled and pointed at the vat in the courtyard. "I want to eat fish."

Qiao Mei remained silent.

"I want to eat fish," He Ning repeated.

"I'm not free. If you want to eat, make it yourself," Qiao Mei said sulkily.

He Ning did not continue to insist. Instead, he asked Huo Gao to catch the fish and pass it to Qiao Mei after cleaning it up. He was quite sure that Qiao Mei would not reject an ingredient that had already been nicely prepared.

"Miss Qiao, can you see if the fish is prepared to your satisfaction?" Huo Gao said.

Qiao Mei looked at the fish in the basin and then at the smug He Ning outside. She silently suppressed her anger. Anyway, as long as He Ning was alive, she would be able to earn an endless amount of money. She would just take it that she pitied him.
