After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

1050 Backing Xia Wen up

Xia Guang nodded silently. He would need to submit a report to his superiors about his intention to get a divorce. Army officers could not get a divorce on their own and must receive the organization’s approval before they could go ahead. Xia Jun had probably already informed the higher-ups about this matter and the divorce could be settled very quickly.

“We have bought you a house located in the county city of your hometown. It’s paid for by Xia Guang and your children. You can live well there,” Xia Jun said with a cold expression. After saying that, he used his walking stick to get up and slowly walked to the dining table for dinner.

Xia Wen chuckled secretly. Xia Jun had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Even though Zhou Hua was leaving the Xia family, Xia Jun still felt that he owed something to Zhou Hua after so many years. Since Zhou Hua would have nothing to do with them anymore, the best they could do was to give her a place to stay.

Zhou Hua did not stay for dinner and left the Xia family residence immediately. She was no longer a member of the Xia family and there was no seat for her at the Xia family’s dining table.

Everyone was very quiet during this meal and no one said a word. It was only after everyone had finished eating that Xia Jun spoke up, “Xia Wen, go and send the money to Qiao Mei tomorrow morning. Make sure there’s not a single cent less. I still have some bird’s nests with me. Remember to bring it to Qiao Mei as well.”

“Grandfather, Qiao Mei has all kinds of tonics at her place. When I brought her some good quality silver fungus the last time, she even reprimanded me!” Xia Wen said helplessly.

Xia Jun said stubbornly, “Just bring it with you! Pregnant women should eat bird’s nests! Your grandmother ate that in the past! Qiao Mei has to eat it too! Just say that it’s from me and she definitely won’t dare to reject the gift.”

Xia Wen nodded and agreed. Xia Jun had asked his friends who were overseas to send him those bird’s nests! They were of the best quality.

The womenfolk chatted gaily in the house after the meal. It was already late at night when Xia Wen drove Xia Jun home. Xia Guang followed Xia Jun back to his house. Now that Zhou Hua was not around, it did not seem appropriate for him to stay at Xia Mao’s place.

After sending Xia Jun off, Liu Fen collapsed on the sofa and took deep breaths of the fresh air like a drowning person.

“What’s wrong with you?” Xu Lan asked Liu Fen in surprise.

“I’m so scared! Sigh… why is Father so scary… I was really scared to death tonight! If I wasn’t so far away, I would have knelt in front of Father out of fear,” Liu Fen said seriously.

Xia Yao laughed out loudly. He sat beside Liu Fen and massaged her shoulders as he said laughingly, “Father is actually not that scary. He just looks serious. He actually had no intention of blaming Zhou Hua tonight.”

“Not blaming her? How is that possible! She has to leave the Xia family! How is this not blaming her!” Liu Fen said.

“Father gave Zhou Hua a place to retire and let her leave with her reputation intact. He won’t say anything bad about Zhou Hua to outsiders. If Father is really angry, Zhou Hua would have gone to jail long ago. She wouldn’t have been able to divorce Third Brother in such a proper manner,” Xu Lan said as she sat at the side.

Xia Yao gave Xu Lan a thumbs up and said, “As expected of Eldest Sister-in-law. Xia Wen has indeed inherited your intelligence!”

“What do you mean?” Liu Fen asked as she looked at the two of them blankly.

Xu Lan said disdainfully, “It is Xia Wen who put on such a big show tonight and Father is here to back Xia Wen up. Although Zhou Hua has done something wrong to the Xia family, the Xia family has also owed her a lot over the years. She had even given the Xia family three grandsons and that alone already balanced out this matter. I think Xia Wen is just taking revenge on behalf of Xia Zhe.”

Everyone had seen how Zhou Hua bullied the eldest son’s family for so many years. Whenever she came to Xu Lan’s house, she always spoke aggressively, especially when the subject was about Wu Min’s old house. When it came to this issue, Zhou Hua raised the most objections.

If Zhou Hua had not secretly said all kinds of things to Tan Jing to sow discord, Tan Jing would not have such a big grudge against Xia Zhe.

“Then Eldest Brother…” Xia Yao looked upstairs worriedly.

“You can go and see him tomorrow morning. It’s too late now. Anyway, you have taken a long period of time off this time, so there’s no hurry,” Xu Lan said.

Xia Yao agreed that it was not good to disturb Xia Mao’s rest so late at night and he went back to the room with Liu Fen. Xu Lan also returned to her room to take care of Xia Mao. It was a night when everyone was occupied with their own thoughts.
