Hong Kong 1980: Me and the Queen Swapped Clothes

Looking at the girl's body covered in wounds, some of which were bruised and black, Qin Weiming's gaze grew colder and colder. Finally, he let out a long sigh: "No wonder I felt sore all over when I went out today. I thought Fang Yanmei, the diva, was in poor health when she was young. It's all because of the sins that Tan Meijin committed that I have to suffer."

Now that Qin Weiming had seen Fang Yanmei's body, he naturally wouldn't do anything to her. Instead, he quickly put his clothes back on. He was already calculating how much time and money he would need to restore Fang Yanmei's health, and he couldn't let her continue to suffer abuse from Qin Meijin in this house.

For example, Qin Weiming finally managed to fatten Fang Yanmei up a bit, but if she stayed with Qin Meijin every day, she would be furious.

"Fang Yanmei, are you trying to get yourself killed? Can't you hear me telling you to cook? Hurry up and come out and cook!" Qin Meijin's eldest son shouted from outside the door.

When Qin Weiming went to the kitchen, he saw that there were quite a few dishes, including fish, shrimp, and crab. He was actually asked to cook them. He could only sneer and then pushed the door open and walked out.

A thin, elderly woman with a fierce expression blocked her way: "Where are you going, Amei?"

"My brother wants me to cook, but we don't have enough scallions, ginger, and garlic at home, and we're out of soy sauce. I'll go out and buy some." Qin Weiming knew in his heart that this was Fang Yanmei's fierce mother.

Qin Meijin nodded and then asked Qin Weiming if he had any money. Qin Weiming immediately shook his head: "No money. I'm going to buy some on credit at the store. I'll settle the bill when I get paid."

Qin Meijin said "Oh" and was about to walk past him when Qin Weiming reached out to her: "Mom, you went outside to gamble on horses, you must have won, right? Give me some money to buy some drinks."

"You brat, just tell the store you'll pay on credit. It'll be the same if you pay when you have the money." Qin Meijin had a smile on her face, and she looked like a kind and amiable old lady.

Qin Weiming smiled and said to Qin Meijin, "Then Mom, I'll go buy some seasonings and be right back. You can expect a delicious meal tonight."

Qin Meijin looked at Qin Weiming's retreating figure with a puzzled expression, and asked her eldest son, Fang Qiming, somewhat strangely, "Did Amei take the wrong medicine? Is she in a good mood today?"

Fang Qiming ignored her.

Qin Meijin was used to it and went inside to calculate her horse racing results, grumbling to herself.

Qin Weiming went downstairs to the delicatessen to buy some food on credit, then bought some necessities before returning to the kitchen to work by himself.

Ten minutes later, Qin Weiming finished his work and went straight into Qin Meijin's room, his voice warm and friendly: "Mom, dinner's ready. I called you twice after I finished cooking, why didn't you hear me?"

"You brat, don't you know how to knock before coming in?" Tam Mei-kam immediately pulled the tray she was carrying inside, the large amount of Hong Kong dollars on it attracting attention.

Qin Weiming glanced quickly, memorized the location where Qin Meijin hid the money, and then chuckled as he coaxed Qin Meijin to come out for dinner: "Mom, I clearly knocked on the door just now but you didn't hear me. You must have been too focused on watching the horses."

"Alright, alright, you don't need to stay here. Go and call your older brothers out for dinner, and tell them to stop playing around."

Qin Meijin dismissed Qin Weiming as if he were a servant, not noticing that although he wore a seemingly submissive smile, his eyes darted around the room.

When they arrived at their older brothers' door, Qin Weiming kicked it open and said, "Hey, come out and eat! If you don't eat now, I'll eat it all!"

"How dare you talk to your brothers like that?" Qin Meijin couldn't help but scold Qin Weiming upon seeing this.

However, Qin Weiming suddenly turned and glared at her: "What can I do if they don't come out? Do you expect me to feed them the food I've prepared?"

Just as Qin Meijin was about to get angry, she saw Qin Weiming's expression change again: "Mom, since they're ignoring me, then you go and call them. I'll go to the kitchen to get the dishes. You can't expect the two of them to get the dishes, can you?"

"Go ahead." Qin Meijin was also caught off guard by Qin Weiming's words and couldn't get angry, so she could only suppress her anger and let him go to do his work.

She didn't see it either. When Qin Weiming turned around, she rolled her eyes speechlessly.

"Let me cook for you, I'll let you eat your fill." Qin Weiming first took out the laxative package he had just bought at the store. This was the seasoning package he had told Qin Meijin that he was going out to buy. He then sprinkled it evenly on the large pieces of meat he had bought from the deli.

Qin Weiming added a generous amount of seasoning to the dipping sauce, saying with emotion as he did so, "I came to Hong Kong so that you could enjoy yourselves. Eat up, eat more!"

Then Qin Weiming threw the remaining seafood in the kitchen into the pot and blanched it. They were all live shrimp and crabs, so there were no complicated steps involved.

Then Qin Weiming brought out the specially prepared cooked food first. The Fang brothers, Qiming and Deming, who had been waiting impatiently, quickly picked up their chopsticks and went straight for the meat and vegetables, ignoring the vegetables.

Qin Meijin felt the same way. Although she was initially puzzled as to why Fang Yanmei had bought these cooked foods, she felt at ease eating them after realizing that Fang Yanmei hadn't taken a single penny from the family and that Fang Yanmei had bought the meat herself.

Qin Weiming was busy on the side but didn't eat anything, which Qin Meijin not only ignored but also didn't care at all.

As for Fang Qiming and Fang Deming, they didn't care at all; they kept praising, "This meat is so delicious!"

"Yes, it's delicious! Mom, I want to eat this meat again tomorrow."

Tan Meijin coaxed her two beloved sons, "Amei will buy you two more tomorrow, be good, eat more."

The three of them devoured the food with gusto, clearing the table of meat and vegetables in a whirlwind.

By the time Qin Weiming sat down at the table, there was no meat or vegetables left.

In response, Qin Meijin gave an apologetic smile and said with feigned concern, "Amei, don't buy so little next time. It's not enough for us to eat. Buy more, you need to eat too."

Qin Weiming shook his head: "Mom, I won't eat it. I specifically put laxatives in these cooked foods. I'm not stupid, why would I eat them?"

"What did you say?" Qin Meijin was stunned, and the Fang brothers, Deming and Qiming, were even more dumbfounded. They stared at Qin Weiming as he stepped forward, pretending to hit her.

Qin Weiming casually took a step back, and the two brothers had only taken two steps when they clutched their stomachs and squatted down in pain, saying, "Ouch, my stomach hurts so much!"

"Mom, it feels like someone is hitting my stomach, it hurts so much!" The two brothers cried out incessantly, and Qin Meijin's face turned ashen as she glared at Qin Weiming, her lips trembling as she couldn't utter a word.

She never expected that her daughter, who usually let her have her way, would rebel against her so unexpectedly today, and in such a way that she couldn't even detect it.

With angry curses on the tip of her tongue, Qin Meijing was about to curse Fang Yanmei to death when the churning pain in her stomach caused her to slide off the chair and fall to the ground, her curses mingling with cries of pain.
