Asking for the House

The family had an early lunch today and most of the others had left the house after eating. Only the second son of the Qiao family, Qiao Gui, and his wife, Wang Qin, were at home. When they heard what Qiao Mei shouted at the door, they initially thought they had misheard. Their neighbors in the vicinity came out faster than the two of them, not wanting to miss out on such an exciting scene.

Qiao Gui and Wang Qin came to the courtyard and saw Qiao Mei leading Zhao Liang and a group of people in an imposing manner. She looked to be serious about something this time round.

"Qiao Mei, your second grandfather is not at home. What did you say just now?" Wang Qin asked again, as if she did not hear her clearly.

Qiao Mei smiled and said, "Second Auntie, I said I'm here to ask for the house."

"House? What house? This is my house!" Qiao Gui panicked when he heard that Qiao Mei was here to ask for the house, and yelled at her loudly.
