After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! Chapter 1852: Not Allowed to Get Married

Chapter 1852 - 1852: Not Allowed to Get Married

Qiao Mei looked at Xia He with some interest and said, “I guess business has slowed down. Now that you’re done for the moment, what do you plan to do next year? Do you have any ideas?”

“How… how do you know what I’ve been worried about recently?” Xia He said as she looked at Qiao Mei in shock.

Qiao Mei only smiled and did not say anything. During this period of time, Xia He and Xia Wen had made a lot of money. After deducting the costs, they had made a profit of 600,000 dollars. Although this was not a small sum, they had also encountered many difficulties during this process.

Xia Wen and Xia He had sent a few staff out to other cities near the capital to take photos. The local tyrants in the cities quickly heard of this profit-making business. These people started to do the same thing on a much bigger scale and they even charged lower prices than Xia Wen and Xia He!The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to /n/o/vel/b/in.

The locals in those cities definitely did not trust outsiders as much, so Xia He’s team immediately lost a lot of business. Fortunately, they still had the upper hand because of the early start and managed to make a fair bit of money.

Their staff definitely could not go back to these cities again next year. If the local tyrants spotted them, they would just be asking for a beating. Those tyrants had already given the Xia family a lot of respect by allowing them to bring back their earnings from those cities. If it was not because of the Xia family’s reputation, they would probably have to pay those local tyrants instead!

At least they could still continue with the business in the capital. After all, the Xia family was like the local tyrant in the capital. However, with the economy opening up this year, there were more and more private enterprises coming up. It was no longer possible to make so much money from this business.

“Then what should I do?” Xia He asked.

“Haven’t you earned enough money this year? You should stop while you’re ahead. Don’t be too greedy,” Qiao Mei warned.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you. Let’s leave it at that for now. This is the first time I have so much money in my hands. Eldest Brother and I have also sold many houses and the money is all in the bank,” Xia He said.

“Speaking of Eldest Brother… What has he been doing recently? I haven’t seen him for a while. Feng Hua said that he hasn’t come by to see the children for a long time,” Qiao Mei asked curiously.

“Oh right! You’re always in school so I forgot to update you. Earlier, Father, Mother and Eldest Brother have been planning the wedding with the MO family. MO Zhu and Eldest Brother have been dating for a while now and they’ve been engaged for half a year, but the MO family has been criticizing Eldest Brother. They just don’t seem to be satisfied. Eldest Brother is feeling so vexed!” Xia He said helplessly.

“Didn’t the MO family already agree to the engagement last year? Why aren’t they letting the two of them get married? Are they unhappy with Eldest

Brother in some way? Or perhaps they are actually unhappy with our family,” Qiao Mei asked.

“You’re indeed smart. You have hit the nail on the head. The MO family thinks that our family gets into too much trouble. It’s either people coming to take revenge or people deliberately slandering us. Apart from that, we have too many relatives and many of them like to cause trouble. Anyway, they just think that our family is too much of a mess and that we’re not as wholesome as the MO family,” Xia He said.

No prominent family would be able to lead a quiet life. Even people who were only slightest related to the family would come to ask for a share of the pie. If the family did not give in to these poor relatives, they would go around to spread rumors and cause trouble. When that happened, the family would quickly fall from grace.

The MO family was full of learned people and was a scholarly family. They naturally did not have to experience such things. It was reasonable for them to have a bad opinion of the Xia family. However, it was not fair for Xia Wen to remain a bachelor just because of such trivial matters!

“It seems that the abduction of my child has affected them quite badly. Do you need me to go and explain things to them?” Qiao Mei said with a slight frown.

“I’m not sure. Let’s not cause trouble for Eldest Brother for the time being. He doesn’t even answer calls nowadays and I don’t even dare to talk to him anymore,” Xia He said aggrievedly.

Qiao Mei was at a loss for a moment. She did not know how to deal with such a situation. MO Zhu was a nice girl. If Xia Wen could marry a wife like MO Zhu, he would definitely have a happy family life in the future. It seemed that she had to think of a way to help Xia Wen and MO Zhu.

Xia He’s staff rang her up and asked her to go and settle some company matters. Qiao Mei took the opportunity to go to the small secret room behind the study. She had purposely built this room during the renovation of the house to keep her collection of paintings and treasures.

MO Chou was not particularly fond of anything but he had a fondness for landscape paintings. Liu Shu liked all kinds of unique needlework and embroidery items. Qiao Mei had many landscape paintings in her collection, so it was not a big deal to give MO Chou a few valuable items. However, she really did not have any needlework or embroidery in storage..
