After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

1401 Forced to Drink

“Xia Xing’s capacity for alcohol is not good at all! You need to practice more! Once you join the Shao family, he must be able to drink! Otherwise, you’ll embarrass our Shao family!” Shao Tu said as he patted Xia Xing’s shoulder.

As Xia Wen frowned slightly, Shao Tu immediately realized that he had said something wrong. He quickly filled his own glass with liquor and said, “We’re in-laws from now on! Our Shao Yin has joined your family and your Xia Xing is also our family’s son-in-law. We’re one big family!”

“That’s right. One big family,” Xia Wen said as he drank from his glass and smiled coldly.

“Oh, Brother Xing is drunk! I’ll get someone to bring him to the backyard so that he can rest. He can’t be comfortable lying here. Everyone, please continue drinking!” Qiao Mei asked Chi Ze and Mao Hang to help carry Xia Xing to a room in the backyard.

Xia Xing was so drunk that he could not exert any strength and his body was floppy like he had no bones at all. Chi Ze and Mao Hang had to use a lot of effort to carry Xia Xing onto the bed. Drunk people always seemed much heavier than usual.

Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Chi Ze said to Qiao Mei, “Sister-in-law, you have to be careful. I just feel that those people don’t look like decent people!”

“That’s right. Even though we’re from the countryside and haven’t seen much of the world, we also know that this is not the way to drink. If they continue like this, it may even lead to someone’s death,” Mao Hang said with a frown.

Even Chi Ze and Mao Hang, who were meeting the Shao family for the first time, could tell that something was wrong. The Shao family had given themselves away quite quickly. Even if they were good drinkers, it was still inappropriate for them to drink so much during such an occasion today.

If the Shao family members were not hiding some ulterior motives behind this behavior, then it only meant that this was their true colors and inherent behavior.

During the short time when Qiao Mei and Chi Ze were talking, these people had drunk a lot more liquor. They even asked Xu Kang to go out and buy more, telling her not to be so petty.

Xu Kang usually only took instructions from Qiao Mei, but on this occasion, she also knew that she must go and buy more liquor for the Shao family. Otherwise, it would make the Xia family look very petty, as if they could not even afford to pay for a few more glasses of liquor.

When it came to Xia Mao’s capacity for alcohol, even if he had to face both Shao Tu and Shao Xian, it was only considered child’s play to him. When he was younger, he traveled extensively with Xia Jun and had experienced all kinds of hardships and done all sorts of things. Even though he could drink those Shao family members under the table, he could not be bothered with them. These people did not deserve any chance to drink with him.

Shao Tu was a person who knew his limits. He definitely did not dare to force Xia Mao to drink, so he turned his attention to Xia Wen. Poor Xia Wen was bombarded by the Shao family members one after another. The amount he drank was almost double the amount of any person from the Shao family.

Xia Mao said a brief goodbye to everyone and left Qiao Mei’s house. He still had a meeting later and could not be late for it. Xia Wen was his son and the future head of the Xia family, and would definitely come across more situations like this in the future. He believed that Xia Wen could handle these matters well. Even if Xia Wen could not handle it, he still had to bite the bullet and deal with it.

Xu Lan and the other women held on to one another as they returned to Xia He’s room. There was only Qiao Mei and Xia He left in the courtyard to accompany the women from the Shao family. Xia He’s eyes were filled with worry. She had never seen Xia Wen drink so much before. What if something happened to him?

“You must be Xia He. Shao Yin talks about you all the time. Please take good care of Shao Yin in the future. If she does anything wrong, you can lecture her!” Shao Chun said laughingly.

“Don’t say that. Shao Yin is all good and hasn’t done anything wrong. Don’t worry,” Xia He said politely.

After a few rounds of drinking, Shao Chun knew that with her capacity for alcohol, she would not be able to outdrink Xia He. Bian Jiu and Shao Yin also helped out and kept trying to toast Xia He.

Xia He looked around and realized that there seemed to be one person missing. She asked curiously, “Shao Yin’s elder sister isn’t here? I remember that Shao Yin only has one sister, yet she’s not present at such a happy occasion today.”

The Shao family members suddenly had awkward expressions on their faces, as if they did not know how to explain it. Bian Duo quickly raised her glass and said, “She has always been in poor health since she was young and she falls sick quite easily! She was still all fine yesterday, but then she suddenly fell sick this morning. If she came along, she would only bring bad luck, so we left her in the guest house.”

“Then should we arrange for a doctor to take a look at her? Is she seriously ill?” Qiao Mei had quite a good impression of Shao Le. She felt that Shao Le was the only sensible person in the Shao family.

“It’s not serious! It’s just a relapse. It’s not a big deal. She just needs to rest more! Let’s continue drinking! Let’s not spoil the good mood today because of other things!” Bian Duo said.
