1002 Buzzing non-stop
It was not until noon that Qiao Mei gradually woke up. She lay on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling, thinking about what had happened in the past two days. There were still many things that she had not done, most of which were related to the Su family.
This trip to the capital made her feel that it might have been better for her to stay put in the village.
Qiao Zhuang’s family members were all quite brainless. A few of them were simply just impulsive and reckless. They did not know how to strategize and would fight head-on most times. Qiao Mei just needed to hide from them for a while. Moreover, the villagers took very good care of her and would protect her if anything happened.
However, in the capital, there were both open and covert attacks and it was impossible to guard against everything. Some people would even mock and tease you simply because they were jealous of your good fortune, hoping that you would encounter an accident soon. These people were like wolves which would never have enough to eat. No matter how much benefits you gave them, it was useless. If you gave them too much, they might even counterattack you and question you about where you obtained so many things.
Qiao Mei went to the closet and found a beautiful navy blue dress. She had a dress like that before she became pregnant. Now that she was pregnant and her stomach had grown much bigger, she had made another maternity dress with the same fabric. She liked navy blue the most. Not only did it make her skin look fair, but it also made her look noble and elegant.
!!Xia He behaved abnormally though. By the time Qiao Mei finished her breakfast, Xia He still showed no signs of getting up. Qiao Mei gently knocked on Xia He’s door and slowly walked into the room.
Xia He was curled up like a ball on the huge bed and sleeping motionlessly under the blanket, looking obedient and cute. People who saw her at that moment would not be able to imagine that the woman in front of them actually had a fiery temper when she was awake. Everyone who saw her was usually bewitched by her appearance.
“Wake up! Why are you the one sleeping in today!” Qiao Mei yelled out as she sat by Xia He’s bed.
Xia He groaned as she sat up. She had to settle down for a bit before she woke up fully. As Xia He had gone to military school when she was young, she did not have a temper when she woke up in the morning.
“Sigh… I’m almost like your family’s helper, yet you don’t even give me a salary. What’s the point of me working so hard for you?” Xia He rubbed her sore neck and asked with a smile.
Qiao Mei did not hesitate at all and simply blurted out, “How about I give you a house as big as mine?”
“Will you renovate it as well? I’m fine with you if you will also take charge of the renovation,” Xia He said.
“No problem. I can even buy you a car!” Qiao Mei said generously.
Xia He waved her hand. She was just joking about this matter and did not want Qiao Mei to take it seriously. Qiao Mei might really end up buying her a house. She would take care of the matter of her own house herself. In the future, when she had money, she would buy a small house that was around 80 square meters and also get a dog for company. She would be quite happy to live alone like that.
If she really bought a house as big as Qiao Mei’s, she would be exhausted just from cleaning up the rooms. She did not have that much money to hire a helper.
“There are a lot of things to do today. I have to get up quickly. My pager has been buzzing non-stop since early in the morning. So many people asked me to call them back,” Xia He said with a deep sigh.
It was not only Luo Yu, but also Xia Wen and Xia Mao. Even Xu Lan had sent her a message asking her to return a call quickly. Initially, she thought that it was a good thing to have this pager and that she could contact them if there was anything urgent. Now, she felt that it was simply a disaster. There had been no end to it since the morning!
Xia He was so angry that she had to switch off the pager so that she could sleep well.
Qiao Mei had already checked on whether they could be connected to a phone line in their area. It was quite uncertain and would require the agreement of six other neighbors. Moreover, it was not cheap and the cost of repairs in the later stages would be costly too. The pillars supporting the phone line looked unsightly and no one would want them to be erected at the door of their house. She decided to wait for the government to make the arrangements regarding this matter.
“I’ll call them back and ask them to come to our house. You can just wait in the main hall. I’ll get Xiao An from the backyard to move the rocking chair into the house. Don’t even think about having a chance to return to the room for a rest for the rest of the day,” Xia He said.
