Chapter 1372 Everyone Is in the Capital
"Alright, Second Aunt-in-law. I'll remember what you say," Qiao Mei said with a faint smile.
Xia He and Xu Lan still felt very indignant. Their family had contributed both money and effort to help out with Xia Xing's wedding, but they did not even get a word of thanks. At the end of the day, they had only gotten the Shao family's greed in return.
It seemed that there was no need for them to be nice to Shao Yin in the future. In the future, if Xia Xing chose not to side with the Xia family and the couple started to covet things belonging to the eldest son's family, then there was no need for the eldest son's family to get along peacefully with the third son's family.
Liu Fen just watched them fussing about the whole situation but she did not get involved. Liu Fen looked like a simple-minded person, but she was actually the smartest one among them.
In this life, she had both sons and daughters and her husband also doted on her and loved her. Furthermore, her in-laws' glorious achievements made her look good as well and her children were also thriving at their jobs. Although her family was not rich, they were happy and blissful.
Ever since Qiao Mei was in possession of the carrier pigeon, she would ask Yao Nian about everything. Of course, it was not for free, but Qiao Mei was not concerned about the money at all. Even if she investigated the background of every single person in the capital, Qiao Mei would still have money left over.
The Shao family was just an ordinary farming family. If there was anything special about them, it was that the Shao family had a lot of relatives. Almost all the villagers were their relatives.
It was already too late for Qiao Mei and Xia He to go back, so they slept over at Xu Lan's place.
Very early the next day, Xia Wen received a strange call at the office.
"Hello, who are you looking for?" Xia Wen's secretary picked up the phone and asked.
"Hello, comrade. We're the staff of the police post at the train station. There are about 30 people here who say they have lost their way. They all say that they're looking for comrade Xia Wen. I wonder if you know this person," the police officer said politely.
The secretary quickly routed the phone call to Xia Wen. Xia Wen picked up the phone and quickly seeked to understand what had transpired, looking a little frustrated.
"Alright, I'll send someone to pick them up now. Thank you for your hard work." Xia Wen hung up the phone after saying that.
He immediately gave Xia Xing a phone call but he had to redial many times before the phone was answered. He immediately shouted down the line, "You finally know how to answer the phone!"
Xia Xing had never seen Xia Wen lose his temper to this extent. He quickly asked, "What's wrong, Elder Brother? What happened? I was in a meeting just now and didn't hear the phone ringing."
"You're still asking me what's wrong. Do you know that all your wife's relatives are here! There are more than 30 of them! They are clogging up the entire train station lobby! They are all at the police post at the train station now! Her parents are also in the group. Go and pick them up now, and get Third Uncle to go with you! Now!" Xia Wen roared.
"I… I don't know anything about this… I'll go now!" Xia Xing ran out without even hanging up the phone.
Xia Wen suppressed the anger inside him. He had already endured enough during this period of time. Ever since Xia Xing asked him for help to look for a house, he had not had a day of rest.
If it was not that the house he found was too small, then it was too expensive. Otherwise, the location was too remote or it was too far from the Xia family residence and too inconvenient for them to go back for a visit. As long as it was not Qiao Mei's big house, they would pick on every aspect. In the end, Xia Wen could not take it anymore and just took the liberty to confirm on a house for Xia Xing.
It was only when they realized that Xia Wen did not care about their opinions anymore that they reluctantly moved in. Otherwise, they would still continue to torture Xia Wen!
This time, Xia Wen was not angry about the fact that so many people from the Shao family had come by. Even if the Shao family invited their entire village to the capital, it had nothing to do with him. He was just angry that Shao Yin did not inform them in advance about this matter and that the visitors had to contact the Xia family when they were already in the capital. This made the Xia family look very rude.
Even when Xia Zhe and Qiao Mei hastily held their wedding in the past and the Xia family members were not in attendance, Xia Zhe gave Qiao Mei an astronomical amount of betrothal gifts, a complete set of dowry and replaced all the furniture in the house according to Qiao Mei's wishes. This showed Xia Zhe's sincerity and in turn reflected well upon the Xia family.
Even up until now, the people in Foshan Village were probably still talking about Qiao Mei's wedding like it was a legend!
"They're really too much…" Xia Wen slumped back in his chair and said weakly. Fortunately, Xia Xing was not his younger brother. Otherwise, he would have given him a good beating!
The police post was bustling with activity and the entire lobby was filled with people. The sound of chattering was so loud that it made one dizzy.
