After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

1047 Get Lost Together

“Hmph, I’m doing very well. If you come back to the capital, maybe I can even live for a few more years!” Xia Jun said in a fit of pique.

“Father! What are you saying!” Xu Lan said angrily.

“I’m speaking the truth! If all of you are obedient, I will be able to live to a ripe old age!” After saying that, Xia Jun strode into the house.

His children followed behind him quickly. Xia Jun slowly sat on the sofa, using his walking stick to support himself, and then looked sharply at the people in the room. “Third son, recite the Xia family’s house rules.”

Xia Guang was a little stunned for a moment and did not know what Xia Jun’s intentions were. He said honestly, “We must be magnanimous and repay kindness with kindness, be honest and keep our word and never betray others.”

“Correct! You must all remember the Xia family’s house rules! As long as I’m alive, you have to abide by these rules! Do you understand!” Xia Jun roared furiously.

“We understand,” everyone said in unison.

“Alright. Then third son, tell me. How do you plan to deal with that awful piece of business in your family?” Xia Jun asked.

Xia Wen held his forehead slightly. He did not expect Xia Jun to be so outright and raised this issue as soon as he entered the house. All his reminders along the way had been in vain. He had already come up with a better plan to help Qiao Mei and Zhou Hua resolve this conflict, and he did not expect Xia Jun to completely disrupt his plan.

“My wife, Zhou Hua, is in the wrong in this matter. She has already turned over a new leaf! She said that she would hand over all the money.” Xia Guang hurriedly pulled Zhou Hua, who had been hiding at one side, to Xia Jun and turned to her with a smiling face as he asked, “Right? Quick, tell Father where the money is.”

Zhou Hua looked at Xia Jun stubbornly. There was no way that she would accept defeat and admit her mistake to the Xia family! Even if she had to die, she would not tell the Xia family where she hid the money. The Xia family could forget about getting even the smallest detail from her.

Zhou Hua gritted her teeth. No matter what the people around her asked her about this matter, she refused to speak.

Seeing that the murderous glint in Xia Jun’s eyes had become more and more obvious, Xia Guang knelt on the ground and looked at Xia Jun with a solemn expression. “Father, this is my family’s fault. I’m willing to bear all the responsibility. I’ll slowly return the 50,000 dollars to Qiao Mei. I’ll definitely pay her back.”

Xia Wen already knew that Xia Guang would say this. All the money that Xia Guang had earned over the years had been sent to the Zhou family by Zhou Hua. Xia Guang’s three sons lived a life of misery and Zhou Hua had always ignored the well-being of these three children. After the three children got married, they did not go back to visit Zhou Hua even once. Every year during the new year, they would avoid Zhou Hua and only pay visits to Xia Jun.

“Third Aunt-in-law is the one who took the money, so Third Aunt-in-law should be the one to repay the money. There’s no reason for Third Uncle to be the one to pay it back. Besides, it’s not a small sum of money. With your salary, you won’t be able to repay it for a long time. Third Uncle, you’d better consider carefully,” Xia Wen said calmly.

Xia Guang lowered his head and did not respond to Xia Wen. What Xia Wen said was the truth. It was not as if he had not gone home to take a look. Zhou Hua had taken all his money and there was not a single cent left in his bank account. It was not that he did not know about what had happened at home in the past few years, but he was really too busy to do anything about it.

Or perhaps he was just a coward who did not dare to come back and face all these issues.

It was all Zhou Hua’s fault. If Zhou Hua had not made a willful decision to cooperate with the He family, their family would not have ended up in this situation and also almost put Qiao Mei in danger.

Seeing that Zhou Hua did not speak for a long time, Xia Wen gave her a sharp look and said, “Third Aunt-in-law, I’d advise you to tell us the location of the money yourself. It will be a different story when we find out on our own.”

“Hmph, little brat, you can go ahead and investigate if you’re so capable. If you are able to find out for yourself, why do you still have to ask me? I won’t say a word even if I die!” Zhou Hua said stubbornly.

When Xia Jun saw that Zhou Hua was not repentant at all and even wanted to fight to the end with the Xia family, he decided that the Xia family could not keep such a traitor among their midst.

“Xia Guang, I’m giving you two choices now. Either you get Zhou Hua to quickly settle the issue about the 50,000 dollars, or you divorce her. Our Xia family can always find a way to pool together this sum of money and return it to Qiao Mei,” Xia Jun said sternly.

“Father! Can you give us a few more days! Zhou Hua didn’t do it on purpose!” Xia Guang said.

“Then you can pack your things and get lost together with Zhou Hua! I cannot allow the two of you to stay in the Xia family anymore!” Xia Jun said heartlessly.
