1379 Look For Help
The next day, Xia Xing had to return to work. He wrote down the names and phone numbers of all the guest houses where the Shao family members were staying and handed them to Shao Yin.
This matter was out of his hands now and he also did not want to care about it anymore. He would let Shao Yin deal with it however she wanted. He did not think that she could cause any big trouble.
After Shao Yin woke up, she hurriedly looked for Shao Le and said, “Elder Sister, our parents have brought more than 40 people to the capital but they didn’t tell us beforehand. What do you think we should do now!”
“Then what does Xia Xing say? Does Xia Xing have any suggestions?” Shao Le asked.
At the mention of Xia Xing, Shao Yin was full of anger and wished that she could drag Xia Xing back and give him a good scolding. However, the most important thing now was to resolve the matter of the accommodation for the Shao family members.
“Let’s not talk about him for now. We have to settle the issue for our parents first!” Shao Yin said anxiously.
“Then let’s bring them here first. After that, we can go to ask the Xia family what we should do next. After all, this is their territory. Why should we be the ones busying ourselves?” Shao Le said.
“No! Absolutely not!” Shao Yin said.
It would have been fine if only Shao Zhuang and Bian Duo had come to the capital, but now that they had so many relatives and friends of the Shao family with them, this issue needed more than such a crude solution.
When she returned to the village previously, she told everyone she met about how happy she was to live in the capital. She even said that she was living in a very grand courtyard house now! If her relatives and friends saw her living in such a shabby house, they might gossip about her.
“Then… shall we go and ask Qiao Mei? Perhaps she can help you?” Shao Le asked tentatively.
“Yes! Let’s go and ask her!” Shao Yin immediately set off with Shao Le and Bian Jiu.
Shao Yin was actually very reluctant to tell Bian Jiu about her private matters. After all, Bian Jiu was not her own sister. It would be difficult for her to refute anything if Bian Jiu went around telling other people about her issues.
However, Bian Jiu was also useful in her own way. She was very good at arguing with people and she was always ready to help her family members. If she saw Shao Yin getting bullied, she would definitely stand up for Shao Yin. With her around, Shao Yin felt much more at ease and quite confident that Qiao Mei would agree to her request.
When they reached the main entrance of Qiao Mei’s house, they could not help but lament the fact that Qiao Mei was actually living in such a big house alone. No wonder Shao Yin wanted to marry Xia Xing no matter what.
“Shao Yin, is your house similar to this one?” Bian Jiu asked curiously. When Bian Jiu and Shao Le first arrived at the capital and saw how shabby Shao Yin’s house was, Shao Yin had told them that she was only staying there temporarily and that the courtyard house she had been given was still under renovation!
“Of… of course! It’s not easy to repair a big courtyard house. It will probably take some time,” Shao Yin said awkwardly.
Shao Le knew the truth of the matter but did not expose Shao Yin. While the two of them were talking, Shao Le walked forward and knocked lightly on the door. It was Xu Kang who came to open the door. Feng Hua was only in charge of taking care of the children nowadays. Xu Kang took care of all the household matters in this house.
“Hello. Forgive me for asking but you are…” Xu Kang said politely.
“I’m Xia Xing’s fiancée and these are my two older sisters. We’re here today to look for Qiao Mei… to look for Third Cousin-in-law,” Shao Yin quickly walked forward and said arrogantly.
“Please wait for a moment, I’ll go in and ask the lady of the house first.” Xu Kang closed the door and returned to the house to look for Qiao Mei. She was not told that someone from Qiao Mei’s family would come for a visit today, so she could not make any decision on the spot.
After Qiao Mei gave birth, many people came to look for her. Most of them used the excuse that they wanted to see the babies, but they were just looking for an opportunity to ask Qiao Mei for some “divine medicine”. If they caught Qiao Mei in a good mood, she might be willing to give them some in return for them coming to visit the babies.
As the number of people who came by to try their luck increased, Qiao Mei became a little annoyed. She had instructed Xu Kang that as long as the visitors were not family members of the Xia family’s eldest and second sons, Xu Kang had to come and ask her if she wanted to grant access to the visitors.
Qiao Qiang did not have many friends in the capital. Many of his old comrades also knew that he liked peace and quiet and rarely came to disturb him. Most of them would go to Xia Jun’s place and ask Xia Jun to invite Qiao Qiang to meet them there.
“Why is she so smug! Aren’t you from the Xia family? You’re all daughters-in-law of the Xia family. Why is it so difficult to meet her! We’ve been standing outside for so long,” Bian Jiu said unhappily.
