After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!
1418 Look Down on You
Unexpectedly, Shao Zhuang became much more polite the moment he saw Xia Jun. His attitude was no longer as domineering as when he spoke to Qiao Mei just now. He said respectfully, "I'm just asking for an explanation. I don't mean anything else. As long as Xia Xing marries my daughter as planned, we can pretend that nothing happened."
"Huh? Is there such a thing?" Xia Jun looked at Shao Zhuang and asked nonchalantly, as if he did not even take this matter seriously.
"Pfft! Dream on! She behaves like a loose woman in my house and yet she still wants to join our family! Dream on!" Xu Lan scolded angrily. Even though Xia Jun and Xia Mao were present, she did not care about decorum. The Shao family had really gone too far.
"I originally wanted to save your family from the embarrassment, but if that's the case, then I'll relate all the facts!" Qiao Mei looked at Shao Zhuang and continued, "It was Shao Yin who came to me and begged me so pitifully to lend her my place to hold this banquet. She even asked me to be the one to invite all the elders in the family to come over so that it would make your Shao family look good. Just now, you said that we did everything on purpose, but there is really no reason for us to do so."
"That's right! It's you! You're the instigator who frames my daughter! You hate my daughter and that's why you set her up to be with another man!" Shao Zhuang stood up and pointed at Qiao Mei angrily as he roared at her.
Qiao Mei wondered if there was something wrong with Shao Zhuang's brain. What could she gain from plotting against Shao Yin? She was already married to the Xia family's most outstanding grandson and had a bright future ahead of her. There was no reason for her to be jealous of Shao Yin at all.
Should she be jealous of the fact that Shao Yin did not take baths often?
"Then what's the reason for me doing that? You have to make sense when you speak. Don't be like a mad dog biting at everything. Don't you think you've been kicking a fuss in my house long enough? In that case, let's go to the police station and lodge reports separately. Even though it will be embarrassing for the Xia family, we will just be laughed at for trusting people too blindly, nothing worse than that," Qiao Mei said with a faint smile.
Shao Zhuang panicked. That b*tch, Zhou Luo, had previously sworn to him that the Xia family was easily embarrassed and particularly easy to manipulate. They would always err on the side of caution as long as it was something related to their reputation.
Now that they wanted to settle this matter in the police station, his daughter would be utterly embarrassed if word got out! Even if she could not marry into the Xia family, she could still marry into another family. There were so many men in the capital, so surely one of them would fall for Shao Yin?
"Don't tell me you can make decisions for your grandfather! So this is how your Xia family treats us! You even only rent the venue for the wedding! Look at where you're living! The Xia family gives you a big house when you marry into the family. Yet they only rent a lousy house for my daughter even though she's also marrying into the family. Is this what your family means when you say you'll take care of my daughter?" Shao Zhuang said.
"Since Uncle Shao wants to talk about this, then I want to ask how much dowry your daughter is bringing with her when she gets married?" Qiao Mei asked.
"Dowry? What dowry? Don't tell me that our family still has to fork out a sum of the money when my daughter has to wait on Xia Xing after she gets married?" Shao Zhuang looked at Qiao Mei in disbelief. He had never heard of the need for a dowry.
"This courtyard house doesn't belong to the Xia family entirely. Look at the backyard part of the house and the small house opposite it. Those are all mine. Even if I don't marry into the Xia family, my own family can be considered well-off in the capital. If the Shao family cares so much about the issue of the house, then why don't you just fork out the money to buy one for your daughter?" Qiao Mei looked at Shao Zhuang and said with a smile.
Shao Zhuang had never heard Zhou Luo mention this matter before. He thought Qiao Mei was just a village woman? How could she have so much money!
"How can a girl from the countryside have so much money! You must be lying to me!" Shao Zhuang said.
"The title deed is in my hands and it's my name written on it. How can this be fake? Do you think everyone from the countryside is like you, as poor as a church mouse?" Qiao Mei rolled her eyes and said disdainfully.
Qiao Mei had never intended to flaunt her wealth. It was Shao Zhuang's fault for being so snobbish and always mocking her for being a woman from the countryside. Everyone should take a good look at their own ancestry and trace back three generations! She would like to know which family did not come from a farming background!
People who lived in the city for a few years would start to look down on people from the countryside. It did not seem to strike them that the food they ate was all grown and farmed by villagers! If there were no villagers, these so-called city dwellers would have starved to death long ago!
