805 Pretending Not to See

Ever since Qiao Mei started talking about how Qiao Zhuang’s family had tried to harm them, Xia He and Xia Fang had not relaxed their furrowed eyebrows. They did not expect to hear of such scary incidents in the countryside.

“Then what about now? Have they been punished?” The more Xia He thought about it, the more worried she became. She said firmly, “No, I have to talk to father and tell him to get them convicted! We can’t let such people get away with it!”

“It’s alright. My second uncle has been sentenced to jail for 20 years. Also, unless their children leave that city, they won’t be able to go to school for the rest of their lives,” Qiao Mei said.

Evildoers should be punished accordingly.

However, Xia He felt that these people should be cut into pieces before her anger could be vented. If Qiao Mei had not discovered Qiao Gui that day, it was very likely that she would only be looking at the corpses of Qiao Mei and Qiao Qiang now.

“Don’t worry. From now on, you have us to protect you in the capital,” Xia Fang said.

Qiao Mei went to Xia Fang’s side and hugged her arm as she said, “I just know that Aunt dotes on me the most~”

“Elder brother is already looking into the matter of you wanting to buy a house. You should get some news by this afternoon. Mother also helped out,” Xia He said.

Xia Fang looked at Xia He in shock before her expression quickly returned to normal.

Back then, Wu Min did not discuss the matter of this house with anyone. In her will, she wrote that this house could only belong to Xia Zhe. Back then, Tan Jing had some opinions on this matter and had urged Xu Lan to fight for the ownership of this house.

Xia Wen was also a son of the Xia family, so why should this house only belong to Xia Zhe? However, Xia Wen did not care about these things at all. Instead, he felt that they should respect Wu Min’s last wish.

However, Tan Jing repeatedly told Xu Lan that their small house was not big enough and that the surroundings were too noisy. She spoke about how good it would be to stay in the courtyard house. At that time, Xu Lan indeed had the intention to make the situation fairer for everyone.

Xia Fang had always put a stop to this matter. She spent a lot of effort to protect the house for Xia Zhe. Without her, this house would no longer solely belong to Xia Zhe since long ago.

She did not expect Xu Lan to be willing to help Qiao Mei find a house now. It was really rare.

At first, Xu Lan was also very unwilling. She thought that Qiao Mei had brought Li Gui and so many other people to the capital so that they could occupy Xia Zhe’s courtyard house. When the children grew up and got married, they would all want a share of the house.

She had not even lived in this courtyard house before, but Li Gui had beaten her to it. If not for the fact that she felt Li Gui was an easy person to get along with when they met on the first day, she would have told Qiao Mei about her thoughts long ago.

Now that she knew Qiao Mei wanted to buy a new house, she felt even more uncomfortable. After all, Qiao Mei was the daughter-in-law of the Xia family. Buying a house was not a small matter and it was such a pity to spend so much money.

However, on second thought, this money did not belong to her. Qiao Mei had earned it herself. As a mother-in-law, she had no right to get involved in this matter so long as Qiao Mei did not spend the Xia family’s money. In the end, she just pretended not to know.

“Aunt, do you know of any nice houses nearby?” Qiao Mei asked.

“You should ask your Grandpa Zhou about such matters. He lives here and definitely knows more about such things than us,” Xia Fang said.

Qiao Mei had also thought of asking Zhou Sheng for help, but she kept in mind that he was already so old and she really did not want him to spend time on her issues. It was better for her to look around herself.

“I haven’t had time to visit Grandpa Zhou after I come back. I’ll go and see him in a few days,” Qiao Mei said.

While everyone was chatting, Xia Jun’s hearty laughter could be heard from outside the door. He was really in high spirits due to the recent joyous events. After knowing that Qiao Qiang had come to the capital, he ate more than usual in the morning and walked faster than before as well.

“Where is he! Is he still lazing around in the house!” The main door was not closed and Xia Jun went straight into the courtyard to look for Qiao Qiang.

Qiao Qiang walked out of the house and said, “Chief, you’re still the same as before. You haven’t changed a bit.”

“Why are you calling me chief! I’m already retired! Just call me by my name. We’ve been brothers for so many years. If you call me chief, you’re not treating me like a brother!” Xia Jun said as he pretended to be annoyed.Please visit 𝗳𝘳ℯ𝑒𝓌ℯ𝚋𝐧oνe𝘭. c𝐨m
