After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! Chapter 1669 The Origin of the Seeds

Chapter 1669 The Origin of the Seeds

Xia Jun and Xia Mao were even invited to the wedding of Zheng Peng and Yan Li. Both men did not bother to go and even tore up the invitation cards. They knew that Qian'e and Qiao Mei were quite close. If they attended the wedding banquet, would it not be like a slap on Qiao Mei's face?
They could not do such a thing!
Before the wedding, Yan Li pretended to be a very gentle and dignified person. After the wedding, she immediately reverted to her real self.
Every morning, she would berate Sun Dai for her lousy cooking. She would also criticize Zheng Peng for acting like a coward. Other than Zheng Su, almost everyone in the family had been scolded by her.
Yan Li was not satisfied with anything that Zheng Peng did. The Zheng family was currently in a tizzy and there were no peaceful days at all. Qiao Mei received all this update from the neighbors. The neighbors even said that Zheng Su was currently feeling very regretful and felt that Qian'e would have been a much better choice than Yan Li.
Qian'e said expressionlessly, "Now he knows how good I am? Perhaps in the past, I would be sad to hear about these things, but now, I don't care at all. These are things that belong in my past. Now that I've found new meaning and value in life, I can't lock myself at home over these trivial matters."
Qiao Mei looked at Qian'e appreciatively. The current Qian'e was like a person reborn and she glowed and exuded a confident charm. There were many men in the factory who had fallen for Qian'e and a few of them even confessed their feelings to her, but she had rejected them all.
Seeing that everyone around her had found a partner except for Qian'e, Qiao Mei could not help but feel a little worried. However, she did not urge Qian'e to start a new relationship.
As people always said, things would work out eventually. What would be would be.
That night, Xia Wen suddenly came over to Qiao Mei's house. After the two of them exchanged pleasantries, Xia Wen looked at Qiao Mei and asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law, where do your seeds come from?"
Qiao Mei's heart skipped a beat. She could not run from what was meant to come. She had long expected Xia Wen to discover that she had a secret.
"I brought those from my village," Qiao Mei said calmly.
"When you first came to the capital, I think my men were the ones who picked you up. I don't remember you bringing that many things with you?" Xia Wen asked.
"I brought quite a few sacks with me at that time! Eldest Brother, you must have forgotten about it," Qiao Mei said.
"The things inside those sacks were so light, how could they be seeds?" After saying that, Xia Wen looked at Qiao Mei for a while before continuing, "Maybe I remembered wrongly. It's possible that you transported them over later."
Qiao Mei knew that Xia Wen was giving her a way out. How could a smart person like Xia Wen not guess that there was something fishy about her story? However, Xia Wen did not look like he intended to probe further.
Ever since Qiao Mei married into the Xia family, the Xia family's situation had improved by the day and the atmosphere in the family was also much better than before. In the past, the house was always cold and cheerless and there was no warmth at all. He did not even want to come back during the holidays. This had changed and he looked forward to spending time with his family every day now. This was all Qiao Mei's credit.
Which person in this world did not have secrets? As long as her secret did not endanger the Xia family, Xia Wen did not want to care.
"Eldest Brother, why are you suddenly asking me about the seeds?" Qiao Mei asked.
"It's like this. Do you still remember the few premium gift boxes you gave me back then?" Xia Wen said.
Every year, the Xia family needed to socialize with the other prominent families. Xia Jun, Xia Mao, Xia Wen, Xia Zhe, Xia Fang and the others all needed to send gifts to their friends and colleagues. Last year, Qiao Mei's seeds had helped them out a great deal.
Everyone who tasted the seeds agreed that it was delicious. There were also many people who asked Xia Wen about where the seeds were being sold, but Xia Wen did not answer them. At that time, he was afraid of bringing unnecessary danger to Qiao Mei. However, one of those people who asked him was a very important person. He was Xia Wen's current superior and had helped Xia Wen a lot all this while.
Xia Wen had been thinking of a way to make sure that Qiao Mei's businesses became legitimate. After the kidnapping of Li Gui and the children, he became even more determined to do so.
He had discussed it with his superior and decided to source for a large piece of land for Qiao Mei to specially grow the seeds. Recently, the country had been vigorously expounding the benefits of foreign trade and Qiao Mei's seeds were definitely a good calling card for this purpose.
The standard, quality control and design of the products being exported for foreign trade must be items which were in the best condition. Otherwise, it would just be a disgrace to the country.
