1098 Patchwork Quilt

“It’s fine. My plan is to rent out the rooms in that house, but as long as you’re the ones who want to buy it, I’ll sell it to you at the lowest price,” Qiao Mei said.

Qiao Mei did not just invest in these few houses. As long as someone in the vicinity wanted to sell their house, Qiao Mei would buy it if the price was reasonable. Some time ago, there was someone who wanted to sell his house. When he knew that Qiao Mei wanted to buy it, he immediately asked for 30,000 dollars. Qiao Mei simply ignored him after that.

Later on, no matter how much money this person offered to sell the house to Qiao Mei, she would not even take a look. Even if he wanted to sell it to her for 5,000 dollars, she was not interested. Who knew how much trouble there would be after buying it? Qiao Mei would never be nice to such a greedy person.

The three women were all very grateful to Qiao Mei. Without Qiao Mei, their lives would not be so good now! It was because they met Qiao Mei that they could have better lives and their children could get whatever they wanted.

“Qiao Mei, looking at your stomach, I think you should be giving birth soon?” Sun Juan asked with a smile.

Qiao Mei instinctively touched her stomach and said, “Yes, it will happen sometime within the next month. It’s my first pregnancy and I don’t know what it’s like to give birth. I’m actually a little scared.”

Actually, Qiao Mei still had the memories of the original owner of the body giving birth, but memories were still memories after all. The actual physical pain was still something unknown to her. The current medical technology was far inferior to what she was used to in her other life. She did not know whether the hospital would be able to give her anesthesia or an epidural.

She expected these things to be unavailable and that she would have to grit her teeth and endure the pain. Just thinking about it made her feel afraid.

“Don’t be scared. When the time comes, you have to listen carefully to what the doctor says and follow her rhythm. This way, things will go much smoother for you. When I gave birth to my daughter, I was so nervous and caused a lot of trouble for the doctor!” Sun Juan said embarrassedly.

“Look at your stomach. Your two children are definitely obedient and well-behaved,” Zhou Shuang said as she looked at the shape of Qiao Mei’s stomach.

Qiao Mei lowered her head curiously to look at her own stomach. This was the first time she had heard such a thing! It appeared that one could judge a child’s temper just by looking at the shape of the mother’s stomach.

“How do you gauge that? Elder sister, teach me,” Qiao Mei said.

“I heard it from others when I was pregnant. At that time, the shape of my stomach was more sharp and they told me that it must be a boy. Furthermore, the fetal position was quite high. When I was pregnant with my eldest son, I didn’t feel much discomfort, but when I was pregnant with my second son, it was really torturous.” Thinking about it now, Zhou Shuang still felt uncomfortable!

“So there’s such a thing! It’s so interesting. I’m having twins, so perhaps the babies care about me and just keep quiet. They don’t torture me much and I don’t really throw up! My appetite is also not bad,” Qiao Mei said.

“Eat more simple food for now. If the food is too oily, it’s not good for your health,” Sun Juan said worriedly.

The four of them chatted about the topic of children. Sun Juan suddenly thought of something and quickly went into the room to take out a big package. It was a gift that the three of them had prepared for Qiao Mei.

“Sister, your family is so rich and powerful, so you must have already prepared all the children’s things. It’s also not so appropriate for us to give the children any personal items. We have made a patchwork quilt for the children. Treat it as our blessing for them!” Sun Juan said with a smile.

The three of them had made the quilt together. They went from house to house to get pieces of cloth and sewed them together one by one. These pieces of cloth had their own history! They all came from happy families with children and have educated family members. They had to collect a total of 100 pieces!

Back then, Qiao Mei had also wanted to make such a quilt for the babies. As she was familiar with everyone in the village, it was not difficult for her to collect pieces of cloth. However, the three women only knew a limited number of people in the capital. It was really not easy for them to collect the cloth piece by piece. Sometimes, they would even get chased out of the house they visited.

“Thanks for your hard work, elder sisters. How am I deserving of this,” Qiao Mei said, feeling touched.
