Qiao Mei suddenly thought of something. Back then, she would send a bottle of medicinal wine to each of her family members every month. Xia Wen was in good health, so he naturally did not need to drink it often. In that case, his portion of the medicinal wine must have been either consumed by the Tan family members or Tan Jing. Perhaps Tan Jings infertility was cured by Qiao Mei’s medicinal wine?
“Um… I think I’m the cause of the trouble…” Qiao Mei said as she raised her hand embarrassedly.
“Huh? What does this matter have to do with you?” Xia He asked curiously.
Qiao Mei told them about how much medicinal wine she had given Xia Wen over time and that it was probably Tan Jing who consumed the wine. Xia Fang did not blame Qiao Mei at all. She just felt a little affected. If Xia Wen had delayed finalizing the divorce by one month, Tan Jings position in the Xia family would definitely have been different.
“It’s alright. Let’s think about this matter at length later. I still have other patients to see, so I don’t have the time to care about them.” After saying that, Xia Fang continued to do her rounds. Following what happened today, Qiao Mei and Xia He were no longer in the mood for a prenatal checkup. They would come back when Xia Fang was not so busy.
Tan Jing was also having mixed feelings now. She had only gone to the hospital for a checkup because she felt unwell and definitely did not expect to receive news of the pregnancy from the hospital a few days later. She was shocked and quickly told Huang Quan about it. None of the Huang family members was happy to hear this piece of news. All they felt was panic and anger.
They were only willing to accept Tan Jing into the Huang family because she was infertile. If Tan Jing gave birth to a boy, what would happen to Huang Quan t s two children? A woman like Tan Jing was the kind who would definitely ill-treat the children.
It was so difficult for Tan Jing to become pregnant with her first child, so why would she listen to the Huang family and get an abortion? She would now have to weigh between being a member of the rich Huang family on one hand and her own flesh and blood on the other hand. It would be a difficult choice for her.
Qiao Mei and Xia He told Xu Lan about what happened. Xu Lan felt pleased as she said, “Fortunately, the divorce was finalized quickly and she never became pregnant with our Xia Wen’s child. Otherwise, who knows how she will bring up the child! With a child, it will be even harder for Xia Wen to divorce her!” “Mother! The main thing now is that everyone is saying that Eldest Brother is inadequate in that aspect! Add that to what happened with Xia Xing previously, many people say they suspect that the men of our family are all infertile. There are even rumors that Xia Zhe’s children are not his. They…
they say that Qiao Mei cheated on him…” Xia He whispered.
“Nonsense! Which b*tch is saying all these! If I find out, I’ll break her legs!’ Xu Lan said angrily.
“Everyone has the freedom to say what they want. We can’t control what other people say. Let’s just live our own lives well. The truth will naturally prevail after Eldest Brother and MO Zhu get married and have their own children,” Qiao Mei said.
“Will this matter make the MO family prejudiced against our Xia Wen? After all, this is quite an embarrassing matter. Given that the rumors are flying around about how Eldest Brother is infertile, if MO Zhu still gets married to him, her reputation will definitely be affected,” Xia He said worriedly.
Everyone fell silent. This matter was indeed a little hard to handle. Just because other people’s opinions were not important did not mean that they could ignore the MO family’s opinions.
When Xia Wen heard the news, it did not affect him. He felt the same way as Qiao Mei. Wise people would not believe in rumors. His time was already so precious. It would be a waste of his life if he had to solve all these trivial matters!
MO Zhu also expressed that she did not mind. She was not marrying Xia Wen for the sake of having children. She did not care even if Xia Wen was really infertile. She only wanted to marry Xia Wen, not for the Xia family nor for a child.
The rumors only lasted for a little more than a month before it was forgotten. Soon, it was the end of the year again and every family was busy with putting up the decorations at home, as well as cleaning the house and preparing food for the festive season.
It was the first new year celebrations for the Xia family after they split up. None of them knew if they should ask Xia Guang to come back for the gathering. Xia Yao’s family would definitely be back. Liu Fen had already returned early to help Xu Lan with the preparations and also to gossip about Zhou Hua and the others.
Apart from the married daughters who had to spend the new year at their in-laws’ house, everyone from the families of the eldest and second sons had all returned. Qian’e stayed at Qiao Mei’s house as she wanted to spend the new year with Li Gui and Qiao Qiang..
