Chapter 1368 Pay a Visit
"Is Third Uncle really willing to return to the capital to work?" Qiao Mei asked curiously.
Qiao Mei had heard Xia Zhe talk about Xia Guang before. The reason why the third son's family was not close to the rest of the family had something to do with Xia Guang being piqued with Xia Jun. Now that the third son's entire family was back, she did not know what kind of trouble they could stir up.
"I don't know about this, but I heard from Eldest Auntie that Third Uncle is doing quite well and might be promoted after training the current batch of new recruits. Xia Lu and Xia Yan have also started school in the capital. Everyone seems very satisfied with their current jobs and lives. But Shao Yin and Xia Xing recently had a big fight," Xia He said.
"Huh? Why? Is it because the job that Grandfather arranged for Xia Xing is not good?" Qiao Mei asked.
"Of course not. Grandfather had arranged for Xia Xing to work in government services! He's doing the same kind of work he did previously. It's neither better nor worse, but there's still a big difference between a job in the county city and a job in the capital. In that sense, Xia Xing can be considered to have been promoted. It's Shao Yin who's unhappy about her work," Xia He said with a pout.
"What does she want to do? If there's really no other way, she can just come and work at my factory. Anyway, I have to recruit people soon," Qiao Mei said nonchalantly.
"No way! If you give Shao Yin a job in the factory, I'll get angry with you!" Xia He said angrily.
Qiao Mei quickly comforted Xia He. She did not know what this Shao Yin had done to make Xia He hate her so much. Based on Xia He's personality, she would not hate someone so easily.
"Sure, sure, sure. Whatever you say. Then tell me, why did they quarrel?" Qiao Mei asked.
"Shao Yin insisted on working in government services as well. She had already quarreled with Zhou Luo about this a few times and she wept, threw a tantrum and even threatened to commit suicide. No one can do anything about her, but they are all scared of Grandfather, so they dare not tell him about this," Xia He said.
"Is it so difficult to enter government services? Eldest Brother's bodyguard is also a government employee and I see that he's doing quite well. Can't they just ask Grandfather to arrange for her to have a job in the cleaning department?" Qiao Mei said after thinking for a moment.
"What are you thinking! If things are really that simple, do you think there'll be a fight! Shao Yin wants to work with Eldest Brother! She wants to work in Eldest Brother's department!" Xia He said furiously.
Qiao Mei was stunned for a moment before she whistled playfully at Xia He and said, "How interesting. No wonder no one dares to talk to Grandfather about this."
Xia Wen was Xia Jun's treasure. Whoever dared to do anything to Xia Wen would be tantamount to endangering Xia Jun's lifeblood. Shao Yin was about to marry Xia Xing, yet she still behaved so indecently.
"She didn't even complete elementary school, yet she still wants to work in government services. The aunties who sweep the floor in the government departments need to at least have junior high school certificates! We can't let her succeed in this! We have to tell Eldest Brother about this and ask him to be on guard against her," Xia He said sternly.
"Eldest Brother already knows about this problem. You have to trust him." Qiao Mei suddenly had an idea and said, "Come! Let's go and take a look at her new home! We'll just say we're there to send our well wishes!"
"What? Go now? Then what about our plan to buy new clothes?" Xia He pouted and said unhappily.
"Another day, another day! If there's really no other way, then how about I'll make you the most gorgeous dress? I'll make you whatever design you like," Qiao Mei said.
The clothes they could buy outside were definitely not as beautiful as the ones Qiao Mei made. Since Qiao Mei had already spoken up, Xia He could only accompany her to visit Shao Yin.
Qiao Mei thought that Xia Wen had simply found a farmhouse for Xia Xing and the others. However, when she arrived, she realized that the house was even bigger than her house in Foshan Village. It was twice as big! Moreover, there were even two more tiled houses built at the side and the whole place looked very grand. Xia Wen had really put in a lot of effort in this.
Before Qiao Mei and Xia He could enter, they already heard Shao Yin talking inside. Every word she said was about how badly the Xia family treated her and how they were not nice to her.
"Look at the kind of life I'm living! There are so many of us squeezed into this house. This is no way to live! Look at the land area here. Yet she lives in such a luxurious house. We are both daughters-in-law of the Xia family. Why do I have to live here!" Shao Yin complained.
