1071 The Loser Will Give Gold Bars

Qiao Mei slowly made her way to the backyard. At this moment, she looked so dazzling that everyone’s attention was focused on her.

“We’re just talking about you! Come and hold off your mother-in-law. If you don’t come soon, your mother-in-law is going to praise you to the skies!” Xia Xiu said with a smile.

“Whatever Mother says definitely makes sense~” Qiao Mei said as she sat obediently beside Xu Lan.

Xu Lan looked at everyone proudly and said, “See! My daughter-in-law is the best! Qiao Mei, ignore them. They’re all just jealous of me.”

This was the first time Xia He had seen so many different types of expressions on Xu Lan’s face. She looked as if she simply wanted to keep Qiao Mei by her side and to sing praises of Qiao Mei to everyone she met!

“Hmph! I’ll definitely be able to find a daughter-in-law like Qiao Mei! Just wait and see! When my son gets married, don’t be too shocked!” Liu Fen said indignantly.

“If Xia Yu and Xia Yuan can find you daughters-in-law who are better than Qiao Mei! I’ll give them gold bars when they get married!” Xu Lan said in a fit of pique.

Everyone looked at Xu Lan out of surprise. This was the stingiest woman in the family. Although Xu Lan looked like a generous rich lady, she was actually very stingy. She would not spend a single cent unnecessarily and would only buy necessities.

It was especially difficult to convince Xu Lan to give an expensive gift to anyone. No one had ever managed to get anything from Xu Lan.

“You say it yourself! Don’t regret it and go back on your word later!” Liu Fen said.

“Yes, I said it. There are so many witnesses! Why will I lie to you?” Xu Lan said with a laugh.

“Then… how big is the gold bar that you intend to give? Don’t just get a tiny one. Otherwise, what is it good for!” Liu Fen said disdainfully.

“Am I that kind of person? Don’t worry, I won’t forget about your two precious sons. Besides, are you sure you can find a better daughter-in-law than our Qiao Mei! Maybe you will have to give me a gold bar instead!” Xu Lan said.

Xia Yu was a serious person and he actually resembled Xia Mao a little. Being a very quiet person, he did not like to talk much. He was very hardworking and had already achieved many of his goals, but he just could not get his head around this topic called love. He had never been in a relationship before and he had not even met a girl he was interested in.

Liu Fen often suspected that Xia Yu was secretly dating but did not want to tell his family about it. It was not until later that she realized all Xia Yu did every day was to go to work and return home to study. She had to accept the fact that Xia Yu was not interested in dating at all. If Xia Yu could find a girl he liked, it would be as rare as finding an iron tree in bloom!

Xia Yuan had a completely different personality. He was a sociable person and could get along with everyone. He had so many girlfriends that he lost count of them. However, Liu Fen was never satisfied with any of his girlfriends. He finally managed to find a girl of equal social status last year, but he messed it up in the end.

Her two sons really gave her a headache. If they could find her a daughter-in-law similar to Qiao Mei, she would be happy even if the girl only had half of Qiao Mei’s capabilities! That would still be a much better situation than now!

Everyone chatted and laughed, trying to imagine and make up stories about the kind of girls whom Xia Yu and Xia Yuan would marry in the end. They even discussed whether their future children would be boys or girls! As it went on, the things they talked about became more and more far-fetched.

“Do you think I should just run a kindergarten in the future? Look, my eldest daughter has two children and my second daughter has three. If Xia Yu and Xia Yuan have two children each, then an old woman like me will have to take care of nine children! I’ll be exhausted!” Liu Fen said in shock.

“Shouldn’t you be happy about that! My Xiang Chen told me that he won’t get married until he’s 28 years old! Nowadays, everyone gets married at around 20 years old. By the time they are 28 years old, their children are already in school! Yet my son only wants to get married at that time! It’s so worrying!” Xia Fang said sadly.

“He’s still not as outstanding as Eldest Sister-in-law’s children. Her eldest is in politics, her second is so good-looking and her third is in the army and has a capable and beautiful wife. If I’m half as lucky as Eldest Sister-in-law, I’ll even laugh in my sleep!” Liu Fen said enviously.
