After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

865 No Mood to Work

Before Li Gui came to the capital, she thought that the Xia family would be the kind of family that had money and power and looked down on people like her. She did not expect the Xia family members to be so easy to get along with. Everyone was very friendly, especially Xu Lan’s three children. Each of them was better than the other.

When they reached home, Qiao Mei, Zhang Qin and Zhang Miao were still waiting in the house. The youngest Zhang Miao was too sleepy and had already fallen asleep on the small table. Qiao Mei, on the other hand, sat calmly in the courtyard and was reading a book. Qian’e had already returned to Qiao Mei’s house to rest. She still had many classes to teach tomorrow.

“Why aren’t you asleep yet?” Xia He asked with a frown.

Qiao Mei had not been sleeping well during this period of time, yet she even stayed up late to wait for them. Xia He did not recall Xu Lan being so tired when she gave birth to Xia Zhe. It could be because Qiao Mei was having twins.

“Xiao Qin can’t fall asleep either. She’s worried about Zhang Wei and Zhang Chao and has been waiting for you to come back.” Qiao Mei deliberately redirected their attention to Zhang Qin so that Xia He would not keep nagging her.

As Zhang Qin looked at the wound on Zhang Wei’s head, tears flowed down her face uncontrollably. It was all her fault that Zhang Wei was beaten up. If she had not been careless and allowed herself to be captured by Su Yang, Zhang Wei would not have been so seriously injured.

Zhang Wei hugged Zhang Qin and said with heartache, “Why are you crying! I’m fine!”

“Boohoo… It’s all my fault for letting eldest brother get hurt…” Zhang Qin whimpered.

“It’s not your fault. It was a bad person who hit me. It has nothing to do with you. It’s only right for me to protect you,” Zhang Wei said.

As Zhang Wei consoled her, Zhang Qin finally stopped crying. Zhang Miao, who was crouching at one side, did not wake up no matter how anyone called out to her. Zhang Chao ran to Li Gui and pointed at Zhang Miao. “Mom, what’s wrong with my sister?”

Li Gui was used to it. Among these children, Zhang Miao had the best sleep. She would not wake up even if there was thunder outside. Zhang Miao would not react even if she was carried up and thrown out.

“Your sister is fast asleep. She’s fine. You should all go back to sleep. We’ll talk again tomorrow,” Li Gui said.

Xia He brought Qiao Mei back to the courtyard house to rest. After Li Gui settled the children down, she also went in to rest.

At Old Madam Fan’s house, no one could get any rest. Su Yang’s minor injury did not require him to be hospitalized. Initially, she thought that Xia He and Qiao Mei were two young girls who could be easily hoodwinked with a few words, but she did not expect to encounter a couple of tough nuts to crack.

Now, not only did she have to give Qiao Mei’s family a big amount of compensation, she also had to cover the treatment fees for her two sons’ injuries herself.

The more Old Madam Fan looked at her two sons who were lying on the bed, the angrier she became. Ever since they moved out, their lives had not been smooth-sailing. Not long ago, there were even people who went around saying that Old Madam Fan and her two sons were shameless and had occupied someone else’s house for so long and that they deserved to be chased out.

Nowadays, there were people who paid attention to her family’s affairs every day, as if they were worried that her family would have too peaceful a life.

“You two good-for-nothings! How did I give birth to cowards like you! You can’t even defeat young women and children. Are you still my sons! Are you even men!” Old Madam Fan roared as she pointed at Su Liang and Su Yang.

“Mom… I really can’t beat her. That woman is really strong. I really have no choice,” Su Liang said aggrievedly.

Old Madam Fan did not actually expect her two sons to achieve anything, but she would not give up just like that. She had to think of a way to bully those people back!

Otherwise, how could she maintain her reputation on this street in the future!

The next morning, Old Madam Fan woke up early to cook as usual, but Su Yang had no intention of getting up to go to work. Old Madam Fan entered the room out of exasperation and shouted, “Why aren’t you up yet! Do you want to be late and have your salary deducted!”

Su Yang opened his eyes in a daze. He did not want to go to work at all today. He would only go when his face looked better. In these past two months, after he was chased out of the previous house, everyone on the street snickered at him. There were even people who badmouthed him right in front of him.

Now that his face was ruined, he was even more reluctant to go to work at the factory. If Qiao Yu saw him, he would not know how to explain himself. It was better to rest at home for a couple of days.

“I’m not going! If you want to go, you can!” Su Yang said as he lay under the blanket.
