Not long after, Qiao Mei received a wedding invitation from Xia Xing. The bride’s name was listed as “Shao Yin”. Qiao Mei held the invitation card and shook her head resignedly. She had thought that Xia Xing would be more of a man this time round, but it seemed that she had overestimated him. Anyway, that was someone else’s life and had nothing to do with her.

Xia He gave Qiao Mei a call and said, “Will you go to Xia Xings wedding!’

“Of course not. But why did Xia Xing change his mind so quickly? Are his hands tied by something? Does Eldest Brother know the reason behind this?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.

“I’m not too sure either, but I heard from Eldest Brother that Xia Xing has acknowledged the child because the timing seems to be in place. Moreover, the child e s blood type is correct. Anyway, Xia Xing has already acknowledged him, so why should we care so much?” Xia He said.

“Yes, let’s just forget about this matter. I can’t be bothered to talk about it again,” Qiao Mei said.

All the family members of the Xia family’s eldest son declined to attend the wedding banquet. As for the second son’s family, only Liu Fen went by herself. Her only reason for going was to deliver the wedding gifts on behalf of everyone. At the critical moment, Xia Guang actually chose to push all his responsibility and problems to Xia Jun. He even used the name of the deceased Wu Min to coerce Xia Jun into helping him. Xia Mao and Xia Yao really could not agree with his actions.

From that moment on, they had decided to go their separate ways from him. As long as it was not a matter of life and death, they did not want to have anything to do with him anymore. To Xia Mao and Xia Yao, they no longer had any brotherly relationship with Xia Guangz

However, in order to put on a front for outsiders, they did not skimp on the wedding gifts. Qiao Mei also generously gave 200 dollars as a gift, which was already a larger amount than the betrothal gifts for most families.

Qiao Mei originally thought that she could avoid any further troublesome matters by doing so. She did not expect trouble to come looking for her!

Shao Yin stood at the main door with the child swaddled in her arms and called out to Qiao Mei loudly. She looked to have walked a long way here. The child was only about one month old. At such a young age, he would fall sick after being out in the snoWy weather for so long. Qiao Mei really did not know what kind of mother Shao Yin was.

“Cousin-in-law! Cousin-in-law, we’re here to visit you!” Shao Yin shouted.

Qiao Mei asked Xu Kang to bring Shao Yin to the main hall. Xu Kang took the child from Shao Yin’s arms and brought him to the stove to warm him up. Qiao Mei said with some annoyance, “Shouldn’t you be at the wedding banquet at this time? Why do you have the time to bring the child to my place? It’s such a cold day and you don’t even know to bundle him up properly. What if he gets sick?”

“l realized that you didn’t turn up today, so I specially came to see if you’re feeling unwell. This is my first time being a mother and I don’t know how to take care of a child, so I specially came to ask you for advice,” Shao Yin said shamelessly.

As expected, Shao Yin had a motive for coming over. Qiao Mei had been feeling bored during this period of time. Since Shao Yin had come looking for trouble, she was going to give it to this woman.

“l don’t have much experience. Ever since the babies were born, it’s my helper who has been taking care of them. If you pay double her current salary to hire her, she might be able to teach you. She’s the one who takes care of my babies,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

“Sigh… How can we compare with you, cousin-in-law? Even our house is a rental. Where do we have spare money to hire a helper? Even our house is way too cold,” Shao Yin said with a deep sigh.

“Then you should install underfloor heating or a stove. It won’t take long to heat up such a small house,” Qiao Mei said impatiently.

“Our house is rented so the landlord definitely won’t let us do any renovations to the house. Cousin-in-law, I have come around to ask if you can offer us a small space in this house. Once the child is grown up, we’ll move out! We definitely won’t fight with you for the family’s property!” Shao Yin said.

“Family’s property? This house is no longer the Xia family’s old residence but my private property. Grandfather and I have already gone to have the agreement notarized. No one can eye this house of mine. Besides, every room in my house has its own use. There’s no place for you and Xia Xing. You should discuss the matter of the house with Third Uncle,” Qiao Mei said.

“Cousin-in-law, you’re joking with me again. There are so many empty rooms, why do you say you have none?” Shao Yin said as she pointed at the room opposite them..
