Qiao Mei took advantage of Xia He’s absence and asked quietly, “Mother, are you particular about who Elder Sister chooses to be her next partner?”

Xu Lan really had not given much thought to this matter. She felt that as long as it was someone whom Xia He liked, she could accept it. However, Xia He had already met someone like Kong Lu previously. What if she ran into such a person again?

This was also the reason why she had been arranging blind dates for Xia He. The men whom she wanted to introduce to Xia He mainly came from families which were close friends with the Xia family and the Xu family. Since these people were already old friends of so many years, she knew best what kind of character these men had. Xia He might not love the person she met from such blind dates, but she would at least have a stable life.

Love could be nurtured slowly, but a life without happiness was totally unsalvageable.

“I think I will mind. Are you helping Xia He to sound me out?” Xu Lan asked with a smile.

“No, I just want to know how you feel about Elder Sister deciding on her own marriage,” Qiao Mei said earnestly.

Qiao Mei did not want Xu Lan and Xia He to fall out again because of this matter. Now that Xu Lan and Xia Mao were older, she was worried that Xu Lan would have regrets if Xia He became estranged from them and could not be filial to them.

“I know who that kid you mentioned is. That kid is not bad. He hasn’t gotten married all these years, so I reckon he’s waiting for Xia He. As long as it’s a sensible person, I can accept it,” Xu Lan said.

Qiao Mei nodded happily. It was almost done!

As the saying went, the onlooker would be able to see the bigger picture. Qiao Mei could finally see through Xia He’s heart. The truth was that Xia He liked Deng Fan and might have liked him since she was young, but she did not understand her own feelings at that time. Fortunately, the heavens had blessed them and Deng Fan had also been waiting for her.

What happened next would depend on how Xia He and Deng Fan communicated their feelings to each other!

A few more days pa.s.sed by peacefully. After staying a few days at Xu Lan’s house, Qiao Mei even gained a few pounds. She counted the days and realized that the corn at home was about to run out. She had to hurry back to replenish the stocks.

If she was too weak after giving birth, she might not have enough energy to produce corn! Then the truth would be exposed!

It had also been a long time since she had a good chat with Li Gui. She did not know how the children were doing and how far they had progressed in their learning journey.

“Elder sister, you’re back!” Zhang Wei said excitedly.

“Where’s mom? Why don’t I see her?” Qiao Mei asked.

“Mom has been busy for the past two days! I don’t know what she’s busy with. Elder sister, why are you looking for Mom? I’ll tell her when I see her,” Zhang Wei said.

“It’s fine, I’ll go and look around.” After saying that, Qiao Mei walked towards the backyard. Li Gui was actually counting money in her room!

Li Gui’s bed was full of money and she sorted them out by denominations before tying them up in bundles. She hugged the money and smiled happily. Qiao Mei had never seen such a smile on her face before!

It was one filled with satisfaction, happiness, steadfastness and even a sense of relief. Qiao Mei was a little puzzled. She did not know why Li Gui would have such an expression on her face.

“Mom, what are you doing here?” Qiao Mei asked as she walked into the room.

“Quick, sit down! Why are you here to look for me! The floor is slippery, be careful that you don’t fall.” Li Gui hurriedly helped Qiao Mei towards the brick bed and sat her down.

“What do you intend to do with so much money?” Qiao Mei said.

Li Gui scratched her head and laughed in embarra.s.sment. She handed the bundles of money to Qiao Mei and said with a smile, “This… this is 10,000 dollars. I want to buy that small house.”

Li Gui originally thought that Qiao Mei would be angry or reject her money, but when Qiao Mei looked at the bundles of money, her eyes welled up with tears. This was Li Gui’s hard-earned money and also a representation of her hopes and wishes. In the past, Li Gui would never have dared to imagine that there would come such a day!

“Alright, then I’ll go and get you the t.i.tle deed and draw up an agreement to state that the house belongs to you!” Qiao Mei said happily.

“Sure, sure, sure. But I’m not in a hurry. You can do it when you’re free. I haven’t been able to take care of you during this period of time. I’ve been busy with the business and even managed to save an additional 2,000 dollars! I’m thinking that after you give birth, the money would come in handy,” Li Gui said.
