1371 More Exciting Than a Crosstalk Performance

Xia Xing’s salary was enough to feed the entire family if they kept their meals simple. There was no money for extravagant things. However, Shao Yin felt that the Xia family should be dining like royalty every day since they lived in the capital. She was very sure that she had to live such a life because someone from the Xia family was causing trouble for her.

“But… but we’re not doing that well yet…” Shao Yin said tentatively.

“You’re all so rich and powerful and it should be easy for you to help my sister out. I wonder why you are so petty,” Bian Jiu said disdainfully.

Even if they had money, that was their hard-earned money. Did they need to help out any random person they saw on the street? Then did that mean that everyone who could not afford a meal should come and look for Qiao Mei?

“Our family is not omnipotent. You should help Shao Yin out. After all, you’re related by blood. You will help her, right?” Xia He looked at Bian Jiu and said earnestly.

Bian Jiu smiled awkwardly and said, “That… that goes without saying.”

“It’s getting late, so Qiao Mei and I will take our leave first. If you need help with anything, ask Brother Xing to go and look for my eldest brother. Take your time to chat.” After saying that, Xia He grabbed Qiao Mei and left Xia Xing’s house. She did not want to stay in that godforsaken place for another minute!

Xia He felt angry, but she could not scold Shao Yin in front of the Shao family. She represented the Xia family, so she must take care of the Xia family’s reputation when she was out.

She could only control her temper until she reached Xu Lan’s house. She wanted to tell Xu Lan and Liu Fen about all these things and let the two elders decide on what to do next.

Fortunately, Shao Yin was the daughter-in-law of the third son’s family. In the future, if Xia Wen found a woman who was even more outrageous than Tan Jing and Shao Yin, it would be better to ask Xia Wen to cut ties with the Xia family. Xia He definitely did not want to live such a life filled with infighting!

Once Xia He got home, she told the two elders everything that had happened today in detail. Qiao Mei sat at the side and helped to fill in the gaps. The two of them echoed each other and it was even more exciting than a crosstalk performance, making Xu Lan so amused that she laughed loudly.

“Mother, you can still laugh! I’m about to die of anger from the encounter with Brother Xing’s new wife! Is no one going to discipline her! I’m going to tell Grandfather about this!” Xia He said angrily.

“Why are you going to tell the Old Master about the family affairs of the third son’s family? Don’t you think your grandfather is already busy enough? Besides, how can a girl like you behave like one of those women who gossip at the village entrance? You don’t have to take these things so seriously. Just listen casually to what they say and there is no need to get so worked up,” Xu Lan said calmly.

Xia He pouted and said loudly, “That Shao Yin still says she wants Qiao Mei’s big house! She wants the whole house! She wants to move everyone in the Shao family to the capital! She specifically says she wants Qiao Mei’s biggest house! That woman also wants to go to the courtyard house that Grandmother left behind! She wants to be by your grandchildren’s side every day! Who knows what she’s up to!”

Although Xia He spoke a little exaggeratedly, it was not very far from the truth.

“What! How dare she! I want to see who dares to have designs on my grandchildren!” Xu Lan smacked the coffee table angrily and stood up as she berated loudly.

Seeing that Xu Lan was getting a little angry, Xia He continued to fan the flames and said, “She’s shameless! She’s already married to Xia Xing, yet she’s still thinking about my eldest brother! Mother! You haven’t heard this but she specifically asks to work at Eldest Brother’s workplace unit and that she must be in the same department as him. If she’s not eyeing my eldest brother, then what else is she doing! Mother, are you going to ignore this!”

Qiao Mei quickly got up to comfort Xia He and Xu Lan. If it continued like this, these two women might even decide to rush into Shao Yin’s house and hack her into pieces.

“It’s not that serious. You make it sound like it’s the end of the world,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

“Why aren’t you worried at all? She’s eyeing your children!” Xia He said anxiously as she looked at Qiao Mei.

“She won’t dare even if she gets the chance. Don’t worry. If she’s smart enough, she won’t cause trouble for the Xia family at this juncture,” Qiao Mei said.

Liu Fen quickly echoed, “Qiao Mei is right! However, we still must remind Xiao Wen to be on guard, so that this woman won’t get what she wants. Who knows what tricks she has up her sleeves. Qiao Mei, you too. Ask Luo Yu to arrange for two guardseach at both the front and back doors of your house. Tell him he must not let any suspicious people in.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
