“I have already guessed it,” Tang Hui said with a smile.
“From the looks of it, my third uncle will propose to you very soon. Once you agree, you can immediately enter the Xia family,” Qiao Mei said.
Tang Hui shook her head and said, “I won’t agree so quickly. Let’s wait a little longer. There’s no hurry. He won’t run away.”
“I What I mean is, maybe you should think about it again,” Qiao Mei said seriously.
“You don’t want me to enter the Xia family? I’m fine with that too. If you don’t like the idea, I can stop contacting your third uncle from tomorrow onwards,” Tang Hui said readily.
Qiao Mei did not know whether to feel sorry for Xia Guang or Tang Hui. It seemed that Tang Hui did not have any feelings for Xia Guang at all.
“That’s not what I mean. What I want to say is that although the Xia family is very good, my third uncle might not be a good husband. He might be unreliable,” Qiao Mei said.
“How many people can one rely on in this world? In the end, you still have to rely on yourself. Moreover, men are all the same. After getting married, how many of them will care about their families? Perhaps they will in the first few years, but in the end, it’s all the same,” Tang Hui said dejectedly.
Qiao Mei shook her head in disapproval. She did not think that Xia Zhe would become the kind of person that Tang Hui was talking about.
Tang Hui patted Qiao Mei’s shoulder and said, “You’re still young and it’s also possible that I’m too one-sided. I just want to find someone to live with and get on with my life. I still have to rely on myself to live my life the way I want. I won’t expect too much from your third uncle.”
“Since you’ve already made up your mind, then let me congratulate you first,” Qiao Mei said.
“I’ll prepare a big red packet for you! I’ll secretly give it to you when the time comes! Little matchmaker ” Tang Hui said happily.
Qiao Mei hugged Tang Hui as they headed back. As they walked, they discussed the style of the wedding candy packets, how many dishes to serve at the banquet, which hotel to hold the wedding banquet at, among other things.
As Tang Hui was a teacher, she had more patience than others when dealing with children. Xia Guang stood at the side and watched as Tang Hui chatted with the women and children at home. He suddenly felt an intense sense of bliss.
In the past, he had always had to deal with the relationship between his family and Zhou Hua, causing everyone to feel very awkward. He was the one who ruined the harmonious atmosphere at home. It could be said that he had been abandoned by everyone in the past few years and even his father and his sons did not like him.
Ever since Tang Hui appeared in his life, the relationship between his family and him had gradually eased up and everything seemed to have returned to normal. He no longer felt that he was an “outsider” in the Xia family.
After dinner, Xia Guang asked Xia You to go to the side to discuss some matters. His family had offended Qiao Mei so much that he was too embarrassed to ask Qiao Mei for anything.
“Xiao You, can you help Third Uncle? Third Uncle really has no other choice,” Xia Guang said.
“Third Uncle, tell me. I’ll definitely help if I can!” Xia You said readily.
“It’s like this! Your Third Aunt-in-law Erm no, your Auntie Zhou has gone to Miss Tang’s house to cause trouble recently. I’m wondering if you can let Miss Tang stay at your house for a while. Just a few days! I’ll find her a new place and she will move out soon!” Xia Guang said.
Xia You had thought that he wanted to borrow money from her or something along that line. She certainly did not expect that his request would be for Tang Hui to stay at her house for the time being. Her house was very big and she even had enough space to give Tang Hui an area of the house to herself. However, she could not decide on this matter. She needed to get Qiao Mei’s permission first.
After all, Zhou Hua and the rest of her third uncle’s family had bullied Qiao Mei back then. On a personal level, she had a good relationship with Qiao Mei. On the business level, Lu Huai’s company depended on Qiao Mei. No matter what, Xia You could not make a decision on her own.
“Third Uncle, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but it’s really not convenient for her to stay at my house. Lu Huai has gone to the south to deliver goods and I have asked his relatives to come for a visit. It’s not a good time now. You should ask Qiao Mei! Qiao Mei has many houses!” Xia You said.
Xia Guang quickly said, “There’s no need! Qiao Mei is usually so busy, so there’s no need to trouble her!”
“It’s alright! I’ll help you get her!” Xia You quickly pulled Qiao Mei out of her room and positioned her in front of Xia Guang before running away.
Xia Guang had no choice but to bite the bullet and repeat what he just said. Qiao Mei was unwilling at first, but on account of Tang Hui, she agreed in the end.
“She can stay in the villa. Second Granduncle and his family will still be staying here for the next few days. The other houses are not in move-in condition,” Qiao Mei said.
“Thank you, Qiao Mei! I’ll definitely find a place for her as soon as possible!” Xia Guang said happily.
Qiao Mei was not helping Xia Guang. She just did not want to see Zhou Hua to be too comfortable. So long as she could make Zhou Hua unhappy, she was willing to do anything!
