After Becoming An Evil Mother-In-Law, She Just Wants To Clear Her Name!

Chapter 34: Little Fatty Becomes Big Fatty

After going back and forth a few times, Qin Zheng’s figure became even more prominent. He laughed it off as if he didn’t have a care in the world, but he recently became more aware of his size and unhealthy eating habits.

At first, Qin Zheng had a few friends, but he overheard them talking behind his back, saying he was a pig, and even calling Qin Zheng disgusting. If it weren’t for that, Qin Zheng would’ve given his “friends” trinkets and even treated them to meals.

Zhao Dahe was the only one who did not mind that Qin Zheng was chubby. Hence, Qin Zheng treated Zhao Dahe as his best friend. It was also because Zhao Dahe had said he had a chubby younger sister and would get used to her.

Now, Zhao Xiaohua’s words had utterly touched Qin Feng’s heart. If Xiaohua was as fat as him, did that mean Qin Zheng could slim down like her? Qin Zheng’s parents were quite good-looking. His mother once said that he was also handsome when he was young.

Qin Zheng should look good after he slims down, right? If so, others would stop whispering behind his back, saying he wasn’t his parent’s son.

“Can you tell me how you slimmed down, Xiaohua? I-I want to lose weight too,” Qin Zhen asked expectantly.

“It’s all thanks to my mother. She supervised me. It was tricky at first, but I got used to it, and it became increasingly easier,” Zhao Xiaohua said.

Qin Zhen immediately looked at Meng Yao with admiration. “Madam Zhao, how are you so amazing?! You can cook good food and help Xiaohua lose weight. I-I also want to be slimmer, Madam Zhao. I don’t have to be as handsome as Dahe, only slimmer. My mother said I wouldn’t find a wife if I were too chubby. I-I’m not asking for much, except to find a wife when I’m thinner.”

Qin Feng amused Meng Yao. ‘Why is Chubby Qin so fun?’

Nonetheless, every big-sized person had potential, and Meng Yao agreed with that. Although Qin Zheng was overweight, his facial features were decent. However, it was a little off due to his flabby cheeks.

“I can tell you what method I used, but whether or not you’re disciplined enough to follow my regime depends on you alone,” Meng Yao said.

Zhao Xiaohua could lose weight so quickly because Meng Yao monitored her daily. The little girl also suddenly developed narcissistic tendencies when she lost a little weight. She would look into the mirror whenever she had the time.

Although the copper mirror at home was blurry to Meng Yao, Zhao Xiaohua could always see that she had lost a little weight and looked better. However, Boys were still slightly inferior to girls in terms of beauty.

“I-I only became larger because of my lack of discipline,” Qin Zheng said in annoyance.

“What did you do before?” Meng Yao asked Qin Zheng.

“I only drank some water. I only wanted to eat a few mouthfuls when I started starving, but I couldn’t stop and ate more and more every time.” Qin Zheng said, embarrassed.

‘So that’s how it is.’

Meng Yao knew it wasn’t that Qin Zheng did not have discipline. He simply used the wrong method. He was lucky not to starve to death.

“You can’t just starve yourself to lose weight. Even if you do, you will regain that weight when you eat. Besides, starving yourself will ruin your body,” Meng Yao said sternly.

“Then what should I do?” Qin Feng asked.

This time, it was Zhao Xiaohua’s turn to answer, “The first thing you need to do is stop eating snacks, Qin Zheng. I gave all my snacks to Xiaoshu.”

Qin Zheng nodded. “That’s fine. When I return to the dormitory, I’ll give all the snacks in my bedroom to Dahe.”

Zhao Dahe thought, ‘Why do I get the feeling Qin Zheng is up to no good?!’

“The second thing you need to do is chew more before swallowing. You need to chew your food at least thirty times,” Zhao Xiaohua said.

Unbeknownst to Qin Zheng, Zhao Xiaohua never chewed that many times. She only told Qin Zheng that so he would chew more.

It didn’t seem challenging, but it might take a while longer for Qin Zheng to finish his food in the future.

“Is there a third step?” Qin Zhen asked.

“Yes, you need to stand against a wall after eating,” Zhao Xiaohua said. “Come with me, and I’ll show you how I stand.”

Qin Zheng followed Zhao Xiaohua to the courtyard where she stood. It didn’t seem difficult, so Qin Zheng followed suit. After eating his fill, Qin Zheng thought it was pretty comfortable to lean against the wall and bask in the sun.

“Your heels must be against the wall, retract your stomach, and ensure your back and head are touching the wall.” Zhao Xiaohua corrected Qin Zheng’s posture

Qin Zheng’s moment of comfort disappeared, and his entire body became stiff. However, he felt he couldn’t lose out to the little girl when he saw how still she stood. Qin Zheng could only grit his teeth and persist.

After a while, Qin Zheng’s forehead began to sweat, and it flowed into his eyes, rendering him unable to open them. He never knew standing could be so tiring.

After half an hour, Qin Zheng wailed, “Dahe, hurry up. Come and help me.”

“Do you need to be so exaggerated?” Zhao Dahe walked over unwillingly.

“Give it a try, and you’ll know if it’s an exaggeration.” Qin Zheng gasped.

“Xiaohua looks fine to me,” Zhao Dahe scoffed.

“S-She isn’t as chubby as I am.” Qin Zheng was embarrassed, but he didn’t forget to explain.

“Just admit that you’re not as good as Xiaohua.” Zhao Dahe continued to stab him.

“Everything takes time. I’m sure I won’t be so miserable if I do this a few more times,” Qin Yang said.

Afterward, Zhao Xiaohua explained the benefits of standing against the wall to Qin Zheng, and he couldn’t help but nod in agreement.

Then Zhao Xiaohua told Qin Zheng to walk every morning and switch from walking to running when he could.

“Do I have to?!” Qin Zheng wailed. He didn’t like to move at all.

“Keep your mouth shut and move your legs, then slim down. Besides, exercise isn’t just to slim down. It can also make you stronger,” Zhao Xiaohua said earnestly. “Otherwise, why would the doctor say that walking a hundred steps after a meal will make you live to ninety-nine? So, those are the three steps. If you don’t persist in the last step, all your previous efforts are in vain.”

“My sister’s words make so much sense!” Zhao Dahe said. “You look burly, making people think you have a good physique. I know you often feel uncomfortable here and there, but I’m worried you might faint. Forget it. I’ll be a good friend to you till the end. I’ll accompany you daily, so you don’t have an excuse to call me a terrible friend.”

What else could Qin Zheng say? No matter how much he tried to explain, he would start to doubt himself when he tried to lose weight.

Before they left, Meng Yao asked Zhao Dahe to write a recipe for Qin Zheng. The food on it was much more than Zhao Xiaohua’s portion. After all, Qin Zheng’s base weight was there, and he could not just follow Zhao Xiaohua’s orders.

Qin Zheng held it in his arms like a treasure. Whether he could become thin or not would depend on himself.
