Although this was not Qiao Mei’s ultimate goal, it could indeed make her famous quickly, so she decided to let them do whatever they wanted. All of a sudden, many families wanted to hire Qiao Mei to give tuition to their children. For Qiao Mei to be able to transform a few poor-performing students to rank among the top few in the capital, she must be really capable.
Xia Wen helped Qiao Mei to reject all these requests. For a period of time, there was a big crowd outside Qiao Mei’s house every day. These people were either here to send gifts or to ask for help. This matter quickly reached Xu Ju t s ears.
“You disappointing thing! Why is it that you don’t know Qiao Mei is giving tuition to others! What use do you have! Why don’t you go and die! You’re the same as your disappointing father! How did I give birth to a child like you! I might as well give birth to a rat!” Xu Ju held a big stick in her hand as she questioned Xu Jiao.
“l… I don’t know about it at all! I only know of it today! If you don’t believe me, you can ask Xu Man! Xu Man doesn’t know anything about this either!” Xu Jiao knelt on the ground and wept.
“Tell me! Do you know anything about this!” Xu Ju questioned.
“Neither of us knows about this and we only heard of it recently. It’s not Elder Sister’s fault,” Xu Man said in an even tone.
The truth was that Qiao Mei had secretly taught her a lot of things in school and even gave her a notebook with a lot of knowledge summarized inside.
During the usual mock examinations, she would pretend not to know much and answer many questions wrongly. If her results were better than Xu Jiao and Xu Jiao told Xu Ju about it, she would not be able to continue studying.
She felt especially relaxed after the exam. Her chance to escape from this house was coming and she was finally going to make it.
“Let’s go! We must settle the score with Qiao Mei!” Xu Ju grabbed Xu Jiao and rushed to Qiao Mei’s house, wanting to demand an explanation from Qiao Mei.
Everyone there was making dumplings in the courtyard! Qiao Mei hugged her children as they sat on the swing and watched everyone hard at work. At this moment, Xu Ju rushed into Qiao Mei’s house with a big stick and pointed it at Qiao Mei while roaring, “Why did you do this to us! Tell us! Give us a reason!”
Xiang Chen and Xia Wen hurriedly rushed in front of Qiao Mei to block her from Xu Ju. Feng Hua immediately ran to Qiao Mei and brought the children to the backyard house.
Qiao Mei stood up and asked, “What have I done to let you down?”
“You still have the cheek to ask! Why did you offer tuition classes to other people and teach them but not for my child! What are you up to!” Xu Ju questioned.
Qiao Mei had thought that Xu Ju was here about Xu Man, but it turned out that she had come to their house because she had lost the bet. She was exasperated and wanted to settle the score.
“Xu Jiao and I have a bet going on. We’re competitors so there’s no way that I will teach her everything I know. There’s nothing wrong with my brain and I’m not stupid!” Qiao Mei replied with a smile.
“You! She’s your younger sister! How can you destroy your younger sister’s future because of a bet! How can you be such a shameless person! Don’t you care about kinship!” Xu Ju said angrily.
Xu Jiao’s surname was Xu, so how was she related to Qiao Mei? Moreover, Xu
Jiao’s surname was not Xia and she did not really have anything to do with the Xia family either. At most, she was a cousin. There was no way she could be considered a younger sister.
“Eldest Aunt, watch what you say. You can say that Xu Jiao is our cousin, but Qiao Mei is my younger brother’s wife and is totally not related to the Xu family. Whether she wants to help or not is up to her,” Xia Wen said sternly.
“What a scoundrel you are! How can you interrupt your elder! You refuse to acknowledge your own family member so that you can side with an outsider!” Xu Ju rushed forward and gave Xia Wen a slap, causing his cheek to swell up instantly.
Everyone instantly looked solemn. They all felt like killing Xu Ju. Qiao Mei was furious and wanted to rush over to defend Xia Wen, but Xiang Chen stopped her. She was pregnant. What if she went forward and got injured?
Besides, Xu Ju was indeed Xia Wen’s elder. He could not retaliate even if she slapped him. As a junior, he could only endure it.
At this moment, Qiao Mei suddenly wished that Xia He could be back soon. Xia He was currently on a national tour and did not have time to make a trip back to the capital. If Xia He witnessed what happened just now, she would definitely have rushed forward and given Xu Ju two tight slaps..
