After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!-Chapter 1402 Let’s Get Hammered

"That's good. She must take good care of herself. Our health is our most precious asset!" Xia He said.

Xu Lan stood worriedly at the room door and looked towards the courtyard. Even though Xia Wen and Xia He were her children, she could not do anything about them being forced to drink by the Shao family members. She was so worried that the two children would drink so much that they ended up with gastric perforation.

Xia Wen had already drunk one and a half bottles of Moutai by himself. This was already beyond the amount of what an ordinary person should drink. As for Xia He, she was going to get married soon! If she hurt herself from drinking too much at this time, the wedding would have to be postponed.

Gradually, Shao Chun and Bian Duo became a little tipsy. Shao Yin did not drink much but she was the one who fell to the ground in a drunken state. No matter how hard everyone tried, they could not wake her up. The other Shao family members seemed to be used to it and none of them looked worried or anxious.

"Perhaps… perhaps we should find a place for Shao Yin to rest? Look at her, she's too drunk and won't wake up soon," Shao Chun said as she pointed at Shao Yin who was on the ground.

"Since she was young, this kid always gets knocked out after drinking too much. She will only wake up past noon tomorrow!" Bian Duo said with a sigh.

Xia He had a look of displeasure on her face. Zhou Luo had gone wandering around their house earlier and now, the Shao family seemed to want to stay over at Qiao Mei's house. Could it be that Qiao Mei had something that they liked and they wanted to steal it while the Xia family members were drunk?

Shao Yin had drank too much at Qiao Mei's house. If anything happened to her after she left this place, Qiao Mei would still have to take responsibility for it. Qiao Mei asked Wang Fang and Yang Mei, the wives of Xia Zhe's friends, to carry Shao Yin into one of the rooms in the backyard.

It was really strange. Usually, when people got drunk, they would be in a daze for a while before they eventually fell asleep. Shao Yin did not seem to have gone through the transitional period. After drinking a few mouthfuls, she fell to the ground straightaway.

If the Shao family had not explained the reason behind it, people who did not know better might have thought that the Xia family had poisoned Shao Yin!

Qiao Mei arranged for Shao Yin to rest in the room next to Xia Xing. Although the two of them were already living together, albeit unbeknown to outsiders, they should not have done anything they were not supposed to. The arrangement was that Shao Yin slept on the brick bed while Xia Xing slept on the other side of the room. There was always a wide distance kept between the two of them. Shao Yin was still an innocent maiden, so Qiao Mei must also protect… Xia Xing's reputation.

It would still be better to give Xia Xing the option not to marry Shao Yin. If not for Xia Xing's insistence, the Xia family would have already rejected Shao Yin.

"Sisters-in-law, both of you can go home with your husbands first. It'll probably be a long time before the banquet ends. Thanks for all your hard work today," Qiao Mei said apologetically.

"There's no need to stand on ceremony with us. Xia Zhe and my husband are brothers who have gone through thick and thin together. I have long considered you both as part of the family. Xia Zhe is like my younger brother and you're like my younger sister-in-law. Don't stand on ceremony with us," Wang Fang said in a forthright manner.

"You're only just out of your confinement period. You can't be too careless about your health. If you fall ill, it'll be too late even if you regret it in the future!" Yang Mei said worriedly.

Qiao Mei was very busy for the past two days and she already felt unbearable pain in her waist and shoulders. If not for Yang Mei's reminder, Qiao Mei would not have taken it to heart yet! She had been so busy that she did not have time to care about the soreness in her body.

"I've noted everything you say. I'll get Sister Feng to give me a massage later," Qiao Mei said with a smile.

"When they're about to leave, you can ask Sister Xu to come and get us. We'll clean up the mess. Don't do it yourself," Wang Fang said.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony with both of you." Qiao Mei sent Chi Ze and the rest off through the back door and then went to the kitchen to get some fresh fruits. By now, the food had already turned cold. She decided to serve the men some side dishes to go with their drinks and some fruits to the women.

The Shao family's attitude towards Qiao Mei had improved a lot. They had not stopped praising her since earlier and Zhou Luo could not even get a word in. Even when she spoke, both the Shao and Xia families ignored her.

Even though Bian Duo and Zhou Luo were good friends, it was not difficult for her to see that the Xia family despised Zhou Luo. In order to protect Shao Yin's future glory and wealth, she must give up her friendship with Zhou Luo. She would not let anyone become a stumbling block on her daughter's path to success. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡．𝙘𝙤𝙢

Zhou Luo drank alone out of boredom and got so drunk that she started to walk out of the house. Qiao Mei asked the Xia family's chauffeur to send Zhou Luo back. She was not being indiscriminately nice, but just worried something would happen to Zhou Luo on her way back. If that happened, the Xia family would have to clean up someone's mess again.

"Let's drink! Open a few more bottles! Let's get hammered today!" Shao Tu said excitedly as he put his arm around Xia Wen's shoulder.
