1310 No More Hugs
“Is that so! When my eldest sister was pregnant, she tried all kinds of prescriptions and they were all very useful. Second Cousin, do you want them? If you do, I can give you a copy of all the prescriptions!” Shao Yin said obsequiously.
She had heard from Zhou Luo that Xia He had been married for so many years but did not have any children. There was probably something wrong with her and she might even be infertile!
If any of her prescriptions could help Xia He, then Xia He would definitely remember her kindness!
Xia He’s face instantly fell. Being a person who did not like being slighted, she definitely would not let Shao Yin off easily. Qiao Mei lowered her head silently and said a silent prayer for Shao Yin.
“I’m still single, so why do I need this prescription? But Shao Yin, aren’t you a little too eager? You’re still so young but you already know so many of such prescriptions. Are you facing some kind of difficulty? Or do you really like children that much?” Xia He asked.
Shao Yin immediately realized how stupid her earlier remark sounded and quickly explained, “I’m just very curious about such things. Besides, I used to boil the medicine for my elder sister, so that’s why I remember all these prescriptions.”
“I see. Then remember to go to the hospital for a checkup. Just in case… don’t you think so?” Xia He deliberately paused and looked at Xia Xing. She was trying to highlight this to Xia Xing!
“I’m fine! There’s nothing wrong with my health!” Shao Yin said in a panic.
“I’m not saying that there’s anything wrong with you, but you should also ask your sister to eat less of such things. If such prescriptions really work, then she just needs one and shouldn’t need to try so many. Don’t you think so?” Xia He said casually.
Qiao Mei held back her laughter. When it came to scolding people, Xia He was still the best at it. She managed to make Shao Yin speechless with just a few words. After suffering a setback in front of Qiao Mei and Xia He, Shao Yin learned her lesson and obediently returned to Xia Xing’s side and sat down.
Everyone went to bed early since they expected many relatives from the Xia family to come visiting early the next morning! That was when they realized that Xia Wen had indeed spoiled those two babies.
The moment they heard any sounds outside their room, they would wail loudly. After two or three rounds, the babies had already gone hoarse from the wailing. Xu Lan’s heart ached for them and she asked Qiao Mei to quickly bring them back to the courtyard house. She told Qiao Mei not to come back in the meantime and to return only when there were fewer people around.
“It’s all your fault! My grandchildren can’t even live here! Don’t carry them so often in the future!” Xu Lan looked at Xia Wen angrily.
Xia Wen scratched his head in embarrassment and said, “I didn’t do it on purpose. It’s just that the children are too cute and I can’t help myself. I’ll carry them less in the future. I’ll definitely carry them less.”
“I’m so angry! You will go and greet the guests today!” Xu Lan watched as Qiao Mei and her family left her house and returned to her room unhappily. Xia Wen had no choice but to go and take care of the guests downstairs.
It was only when Qiao Mei returned home that she found out that the Liang family had taken advantage of her absence to cause a scene here. Li Gui was even pressed to the ground and beaten up. Qiao Qiang was so angry with the Liang family that he almost fell sick. The four children also all had some bruises on their bodies.
“Elder Sister! Look at Mom’s face! Mom also has many bruises on her body! The three of them gang up to bully Mom!” Zhang Miao said angrily.
“Yes, I can see that. I can’t even accept them touching an inch of Mom’s hair, not to mention them beating her up! I’ll go and settle the score with them tomorrow!” Qiao Mei said angrily.
When Xia Zhe heard about what happened, he was also quite angry. If Qiao Mei allowed it, he would destroy the Liang family and make them leave the capital, never to be able to cause trouble again.
Li Gui quickly grabbed Qiao Mei’s hand and said, “Mei Mei, it’s better if you don’t go and look for them. I hear that Liang Shu is in the hospital from getting too worked up. It seems that she has suffered a stroke and it’s quite serious. She might be paralyzed in the future.”
Li Gui kept feeling that she was the cause of all this. If not for her, Liang Shu would not have been hospitalized. She just wanted to stand up for herself and not let others look down on her, but she did not expect to cause such big trouble.
Of course, the Liang family would not go to Qiao Mei and her family to ask for compensation. They might want to use this matter to gain Qiao Mei’s sympathy instead. If Liang Shu’s illness could improve their relationship with Qiao Mei, then Liang Shu would have made a great contribution.
“A stroke is not an issue that suddenly pops up. This has nothing to do with you so don’t take it to heart. She’ll get better. If she hadn’t come to our house to cause trouble, nothing would have happened to her. She brought it upon herself with all her complaints,” Qiao Mei comforted Li Gui.
