847 Begging Eldest Brother for Help

Qiao Mei frowned when she heard that. She had long guessed that there would definitely be people who would be unhappy with Li Gui’s products selling so well, but she did not expect these people to be so daring.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Did you make a police report?” Qiao Mei asked, suppressing the anger in her heart.

“No…” Li Gui whispered.

She was already used to such things. In the past, when she set up a stall in the county city, the stall would also get smashed and she would get scolded. Sometimes, those people would even snatch all her money and even beat her up.

Setting up a stall was already doing something that was against the rules. If she resisted, it would be considered a light punishment if they only reported her and got her arrested. Otherwise, it could be as serious as getting fined or going to jail!

“It’s fine. Let’s just rest at home for the next two days and treat it as a vacation. The children have to go for lessons during the next two days anyway,” Qiao Mei said.

Li Gui was worried that Qiao Mei would think that she was weak and could not protect the children well. She whispered, “I… I…”

“I understand. It’s fine,” Qiao Mei said gently.

Any person who had just arrived and encountered such a thing would be afraid. It was already good enough that she knew how to protect herself and their children immediately.

Qiao Mei did not intend to reprimand Li Gui. Instead, she felt sorry for Li Gui. She had thought she was bringing Li Gui here to enjoy a good life, but she did not expect Li Gui to be bullied instead.

After consoling Li Gui, Qiao Mei slowly made her way to her own house and bumped into Xia He who had just returned. During the entire afternoon, Xia He was at the Public Security Bureau dealing with Su Liang and Old Madam Fan. When Xia Wen finally arrived, she went to her workplace to settle some matters and had just finished her work.

“It’s already so late. Why aren’t you asleep yet?” Xia He asked.

“Not yet. I went to see my mother just now. Something happened,” Qiao Mei said.

Xia He quickly asked, “What’s the matter? Has it been resolved?”

Qiao Mei shook her head and pulled Xia He into her bedroom. She still needed the Xia family’s help in this matter.

“My mother’s stall was smashed by someone. She’s fine, but she was so scared that she didn’t call the police. I’m thinking about asking eldest brother if he can help…” Qiao Mei said.

“These scumbags have really gone overboard! They still dare to cause trouble for our Xia family in the capital! They really don’t want to live anymore! Just you wait, I’ll talk to eldest brother tomorrow!” Xia He said angrily as she smacked the table.

“I think I should be the one to talk to him about this. After all, it’s related to my mother. I’m quite embarrassed…” Qiao Mei said.

Xia He held Qiao Mei’s hand and said, “Don’t worry, your mother’s business is the Xia family’s business. Will your mother stay away if something happens to the Xia family? Besides, I like your mother very much. We can ask eldest brother to settle everything in one shot, including what happened today. This way, he won’t have to run around.”

“What? You also told eldest brother about what happened today?” Qiao Mei said in surprise.

Initially, Xia He wanted to handle it herself, but she was really too angry. Although she was part of the army, she was only in the military art troupe and only knew how to sing and dance. She did not have any relevant connections. She could still help with things like recommending Zhang Qin and Zhang Miao to enter the art troupe, but she could not handle these kinds of family matters.

Xia He was really too angry, so she asked Xia Wen to come and handle the matter. Although the culprit did not cause any harm to Qiao Mei and her, who knew what could happen next time!

“That’s right. Eldest brother is really good at dealing with these things. He handles all the family matters. There’s no need to stand on ceremony! We’re all family!” Xia He said with a smile.

Qiao Mei’s heart warmed when she saw Xia He’s smile. So this was how it felt to be loved by her family.

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony!” Qiao Mei said.

The Xia family showed completely different attitudes towards Qiao Mei’s maternal family and Tan Jing’s maternal family. If what happened today had happened to the Tan family, the Xia family definitely would not have helped them like this.

Back when the Xia family was in trouble, Qiao Mei did not hesitate to use the ginseng to help the Xia family tide over the difficulties. On the other hand, not only did Tan Jing simply hang up the phone, she did not even manage to raise a single cent when Xia Wen returned home.

All their money had gone to the Tan family. Although Xia Wen did not say anything for so many years, it did not mean that he did not know anything or that the Xia family had no idea of what was going on.

It was just that Xu Lan and Xia Mao were unwilling to pass any comments about the young couple’s family matters.

Moreover, Qiao Qiang had saved Xia Jun’s life back then and Qiao Qiang did not ask for anything in return. He did not even tell the Xia family that he was coming to the capital this time. Even when his own family prepared a house for him, it ended up helping to make the Xia family’s dream come true as well.

Now that Li Gui was in trouble, they would help her in any way they could.
