Chapter 2105: Solid Gold Lock....
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The fact that Xia Yuan had met someone he liked was not a secret that needed to be kept. Within the Xia family, only the families of the eldest and second sons maintained the same close relationship as before. In these two branch families, only Xia Yuan was not married yet. Liu Fen was very anxious to find a suitable partner for Xia Yuan and she only stopped short of issuing him an ultimatum to get married this year.
“Mother! I’m back! Second Aunt-in-law, you’re also here! I just met Xia Yuan and Eldest Brother at their workplace and mentioned you in our conversation. I had been wondering when you would be free to come to my house. I certainly don’t expect to run into you here. It looks like Second Aunt-in-law and I are in sync with each other!” Qiao Mei said with a smile.
“Isn’t that so! I’m here to take a look at the three children. During this period of time, I’ve been taking care of Yun Lan at home! My in-laws are here to visit her these two days, so I have time to come by to see you guys!” Liu Fen said happily.
“It’s such a happy occasion for you at home. Second Aunt-in-law, your face has become so much more rosy. Are you happy to play with your eldest grandson?” Qiao Mei asked.
Liu Fen said joyously, “Of course I’m happy! How can I not be! I can’t bear to let go of the baby! However, our Xia Yu said that we must be systematic when taking care of a baby! That we must do everything based on science! That all my methods are outdated! They prefer to follow those methods written in the books when it comes to taking care of the baby!”
Qiao Mei was a little surprised. She did not expect Xia Yu and Yun Lan to be so forward-thinking and knew that they should read up. In fact, the methods used by the older generation to take care of children were not completely useless, but there were some bad habits and hygiene issues that needed to be changed.
“At least you will get more free time!” Qiao Mei comforted her.
“Do you finally understand how it feels for me to hug Xia Fan and Xia Xing now? At that time, you said that I was exaggerating, but let’s see who’s the one exaggerating now! Do you know the size of the gold lock she bought for the baby!” Xu Lan said.
“How big? 20 grams?” Xia He asked.
“A good 50 grams! It’s a solid gold lock! It’s too heavy for the baby!The baby can’t even breathe!” Xu Lan said.
“That’s because I like the baby so much! My children are all earning money now. I have nowhere to spend my money, so I should give it all to my grandchildren! However, what I’m most worried about now is my Xia Yuan! He’s too focused on his work! What if he delays getting married!” Liu Fen said.
“Second Aunt-in-law, some time ago, you asked me to help you look out for suitable girls in the art troupe! I gave you so many names. You don’t like any of them?” Xia He asked curiously.
“Do you think it’s because I don’t like them? It’s because Xia Yuan doesn’t like them! Sigh Tell me, what kind of girl do you think he wants? He doesn’t like beautiful girls, he doesn’t like girls who focus on taking care of their families, he doesn’t like girls from prominent families, and he also doesn’t like girls from average families. Tell me, what kind of girl do you think he likes!” Liu Fen said angrily.
“Second Aunt-in-law, I think you don’t have to be so anxious. Xia Yuan has his head in the right place! He knows what he’s doing,” Qiao Mei said.
“What what do you mean by that? Does Xia Yuan have someone he likes?” Liu Fen asked.
“He didn’t tell me in detail, but there’s indeed a girl whom he likes and she’s apparently quite a nice person. However, there’s also a woman in his office who keeps pestering him. I hear that her family knows Grandfather in the past. Xia Yuan has been feeling a little vexed about how to deal with it,” Qiao Mei said.
“Oh! I know! I don’t like that girl at all! I just dare not say such things in front of Father. She likes to dress in a fanciful manner and she isn’t elegant at all. I can’t believe that such a person is actually from a wealthy family! People will believe it even if you say that she’s a country bumpkin!” Liu Fen said disdainfully.
At the mention of “country bumpkin”, everyone turned to look at Qiao Mei in unison. After all, the few of them were all from prominent families in the city except for Qiao Mei, who had come from the countryside. Liu Fen had said it out without thinking and did not do it on purpose.
“I’m sorry, Qiao Mei! I don’t mean it that way!” Liu Fen quickly explained.
“I know. We’re just talking about that girl!” Qiao Mei said nonchalantly.
“Why don’t you talk to Grandfather and get the older generation to cancel the marriage arrangement? Back then, my younger brother and Qiao Mei only got married because they fell in love. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t force it to drink. If we discuss it with that family and give them a good reason, they will understand where we are coming from,” Xia He said.
