“What I said just now is what Qian’e hopes for you. What I’m going to say next is my personal opinion.” Qiao Mei took a deep breath and said, “Zheng Peng, who are you flaunting your half-dead state to? Don’t tell me you want others to pity you? Do you think Uncle Zheng will let you go because of this?”

“Then what other choice do I have? I want to go out, but I can’t. I should have died instead of my brother back then. If he’s still alive now, perhaps my father will dote on him very much,” Zheng Peng said mockingly.

“You say that you like Qian’e, but isn’t what you’re doing now hurting her even more? You’re fighting so hard with your family because of her. Is this what she wants to see? She has no choice but to give up this relationship for your sake. If you continue to be so dispirited, you’ll just drift further and further from her,” Qiao Mei said.

Qiao Mei’s words were like a hammer giving him a wakeup call. Qian’e was a good girl and she did not want to see the Zheng family in chaos because of her.

If he loved her, he would have to become stronger and protect her well. He should not be so dispirited that he ended up hurting her and the other people around him.

When two people have decided to be together, they must work together to have a better life. They should not be torturing each other.

“You’re right… you’re right…” Zheng Peng muttered to himself.

Qiao Mei smiled lightly and held Xia Zhe’s hand as she said, “Let’s go. It seems that he gets the point.”

After the couple hurriedly bade farewell to Sun Dai, they walked towards Xu Lan’s house. It was rare for them to be in this area, so how could they not make a trip home?

“I think it’s a pity to keep you at home. You should come to our army unit and fight psychological battles with the enemy!” Xia Zhe said with a smile.

“How am I that capable? I can only deal with these old people,” Qiao Mei said.

“You can even make a strange old man like my grandfather so fond of you, and you’ve even charmed my mentor. This means that you’re very capable! How can you say that you’re not? Mrs. Xia, you’re too humble,” Xia Wen said proudly.

Qiao Mei could immediately tell what Xia Zhe was implying. It was self praise, was it not? He was praising himself for being clever enough to marry such a capable wife.

“Mr. Xia, please keep a lower profile. After all, we can’t show off too much. Otherwise, more people will end up liking me,” Qiao Mei said.

Xia Zhe immediately thought of that big sneaky fox from the suburbs. He Ning was still eyeing the ginseng in Qiao Mei’s hands! Based on He Ning’s usual behavior, if he helped Qiao Mei, it was definitely not out of the kindness of his heart. This cunning man must have other motives.

He must keep an eye on He Ning and not allow him to succeed!

The two of them chatted and laughed as they made their way back to Xu Lan’s house. Before they entered, they could already hear the sounds of an argument inside. At this time, they did not expect any visiting relatives, so there was an 80% chance that it was a family quarrel.

“I don’t care! You have to give me an explanation today! You can’t just wash your hands off everything!” Zhou Luo stood in the room and scolded loudly.

“Why are you so noisy! Do you think this is your house!” Qiao Mei said unhappily as she pushed open the door and entered the house.

No wonder Zhou Luo was shouting. She had come by while Xia He was not at home and there was only Xu Lan and Liu Fen at home! After the holidays, Xia You and the others had already gone home and did not continue staying at Xu Lan’s place.

On the other hand, Xia Xing continued to stay at Xia Jun’s place and did not go back. He did not even go to work and he behaved abnormally.

“You ill-bred thing! How can you interrupt when the elders are talking! Didn’t your family teach you manners!” Zhou Luo said angrily.

“My family did teach me how to interact with humans. As for interaction with other species… they really didn’t teach me.” As Qiao Mei spoke, she looked Zhou Luo up and down.

Liu Fen snickered at the side and almost stood up to clap for Qiao Mei. Xu Lan also did not stop Qiao Mei and just let her be.

“How dare you call me inhuman! You bastard! Don’t think that I don’t know about the dirty deeds you did in the past! Those children of yours might not even really be part of the Xia family!” Zhou Luo said as she pointed at Qiao Mei.

Xia Zhe went forward and grabbed Zhou Luo’s wrist, saying fiercely, “Please respect my wife and apologize to her now. I don’t hit women, but I will protect my family.”
