After Xia Zhe said that, everyone in the room felt embarrassed.
Xu Lan glared at Xia Zhe and said, “Aren’t you ashamed to say such things in front of so many people!”
After Xu Lan admonished Xia Zhe, she even stole a glance at Qiao Mei. This daughter-in-law of hers was really amazing. Back then, everyone knew Xia Zhe’s personality. He was like a human iceberg, but he was now so infatuated with Qiao Mei that he seemed like a completely different person.
Qiao Mei felt at a loss when she looked at the elders in the living room. They already could not accept what Xia Zhe had just said. If they knew those other shameless things that Xia Zhe did behind their backs, they would probably flip out.
He would not turn out like that if he did not have the propensity for doing such things. It was not something she could teach him.
“Alright, Second Aunt-in-law. Come and sit down. Let’s not care about the couple’s matters.” Xia He pulled Liu Fen out of the kitchen.
However, Liu Fen still felt that it was not appropriate. She wanted to say something more but was interrupted by Xia He. “Second Aunt-in-law, there’s a young lady from my workplace unit who wants to go on a blind date. What do you think?”
When she heard about the potential matchmaking, Liu Fen’s attention immediately got diverted and she asked excitedly, “Which family is she from? Tell me the details!”
“She’s from our troupe. Her parents are from a proper workplace unit and she has an elder brother. She’s beautiful and tall, and she said she wants to marry a soldier. What do you think of your Xia An?” Xia He said.
Liu Fen looked at Qiao Mei in the kitchen and said, “Is she as good-looking as Qiao Mei?”
“Yes of course, but why didn’t you ask if she’s as good-looking as me? Do you think I’m not as beautiful as Qiao Mei!” Xia He pretended to be angry as she looked at Liu Fen.
“Oh you. Of course you’re the most beautiful!” Liu Fen could not stop smiling.
Previously, Liu Fen wanted to find modest and gentle girlfriends for her sons. She thought that it was not good for a girl to be too good-looking as the man would be worried when he was not around. She felt that it would be better to find virtuous girls, but the problem was her sons were not interested in virtuous girls.
Back then, her sons had agreed to let Liu Fen make the arrangements, but before anything could happen, they became attracted to girls who were almost as beautiful as Qiao Mei. It occured to Liu Fen that she should find good-looking girlfriends for her sons. After all, it would be hard for her daughters-in-law to avoid comparisons with Xia Zhe’s wife in the future, and she did not want her family to lose out!
She had to find someone who was prettier than Qiao Mei!
In order to have grandchildren as soon as possible, it did not matter even if the girl did not come from a good family. Qiao Mei came from a village and she was kind-hearted and beautiful. Moreover, she knew how to do all kinds of housework and was especially good at it. No one could find any fault with her. It was Xia Zhe who was the one who made people worry. How could he do things that women were supposed to do…
Liu Fen gave Xia He her detailed wishlist. Xia He could only smile and agree. If she had to find someone who looked like Qiao Mei, her two younger cousins from her second uncle’s family would never be able to find girlfriends.
Xia Zhe brought a stool into the kitchen and closed the door after he went in. This way, no one would see Qiao Mei instructing him. The two of them would be in their own world.
Zhou Hua had been staring at Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe the entire time. Since they had closed the door, they must be sharing secrets. Zhou Hua was about to eavesdrop when she was stopped by someone.
“Third Sister-in-law, you said that you wanted Xiao Xing to be transferred back to the capital. How is it going? Is it done?” Xia Fang asked.
Once Zhou Hua was reminded about this matter, she sat down angrily and said, “It’s not settled yet! I’m still waiting to ask our old master for help, but he hasn’t been free. Why don’t you help me talk to him?”
Zhou Hua had been waiting for the old master to give her an answer. Xia Jun had used all kinds of excuses to avoid her, and Xia Mao did the same as well. Therefore, she just kept waiting. If it really did not work out, Xia Fang’s husband, Xiang Jin, was also a high-ranking official! He could also arrange something for her.
“Then what kind of position are you thinking of?” Xia Fang asked patiently.
“It’s best if it’s similar to his current job. This way, it won’t be too difficult for him and he’ll be willing to do it,” Zhou Hua said.
When Xia He heard that, she was so angry to the point that she laughed. “That’s a little difficult. Third Aunt-in-law, your request is not a simple one!”
