Chapter 2174: Owe You a Favor

The children were older now and at the age where they were most mischievous. The dogs at home had become the three children’s playmates. Cats preferred quiet environments, so such a rowdy environment was not very good for them.

In this era, medical care was not that advanced yet and most of the medical equipment was very old. If one was scratched or bitten by dogs and cats, it was difficult to get an injection to prevent rabies. There were many people who died of rabies every year.

Although Qiao Mei’s ginseng juice could cure many illnesses, she had never tried using it to treat rabies before. Therefore, she did not want her children to risk getting into unnecessary danger.

She took a look at the furnishings in the house. The entire place looked welcoming and tidy. There were many photos on the wall and she even spotted many CDs in the cabinet! She did not expect Tang Hui to be a rock and roll fan .

Unfortunately, Xia Guang did not have any hobbies and was just a blockhead! Other than having a good family background, he was not worthy of Tang Hui at all.

“Are your injuries better?” Qiao Mei asked.

Tang Hui removed the bandage and said, “Actually, it’s not serious at all. The doctor doesn’t even think I need any treatment. If I had reached the hospital a little later, the wounds would have healed! It’s just that Xia Guang was too worried, so the doctor bandaged it up like this. It looks scarier than it is.”

“I want to thank you for today.” Qiao Mei took out a small porcelain bottle from her bag and opened the lid. There was a light pink paste inside. She handed it to Tang Hui and said, “This is an ointment which I made myself. After applying it for two days, your wounds will recover and there won’t be any scars on your face and neck.”

Tang Hui knew about the Xia family’s “divine medicine”. A member of the Tang family worked for the newspaper company. They had received news from internal sources that the Xia family’s “divine medicine” was actually from Qiao Mei. However, the Xia family had paid a lot of money to suppress this news and did not allow it to be reported, so very few people knew about it.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that this small bottle was a priceless item.

“I should be the one thanking you,” Tang Hui said as she took the porcelain bottle.

“Does my third uncle still treat you the same as before?” Qiao Mei asked frankly.

Qiao Mei knew very well that Tang Hui was a smart person. Although Tang Hui and Xia Guang were fond of each other, it was impossible that Tang Hui was marrying Xia Guang solely for love. Everyone knew very well why they were together. Since she was talking to a smart person, there was no harm in being direct.

Tang Hui’s actions today would actually make Xia Guang feel annoyed with her if she was not careful. It might even destroy the budding relationship, but she still helped Qiao Mei out.

“More or less. I don’t feel that there’s anything different. If anything, perhaps he might even feel apologetic towards me. I care more about what Old Master Xia thinks of me than what he thinks,” Tang Hui said.

At the end of the day, if she wanted to marry Xia Guang, it still had to be approved by Xia Jun. If Xia Jun disliked her, no matter how much Xia Guang liked her, the relationship would not work out.

“My grandfather seems fine. At the moment, he doesn’t have any objections. I owe you a favor for what happened this time round. I can agree to do you a favor in return in the future, as long as you don’t ask for something overboard,” Qiao Mei said.

Tang Hui replied with a smile. Getting a favor from Qiao Mei was equivalent to getting the Xia family’s involvement. It was worth its weight in gold!

“Don’t worry, I know my limits,” Tang Hui said.

It was getting late and Qiao Mei went home after delivering the gift. The next day, she brought her three children as well as Xia Wen, Xia Sun and Xia You to Xia Jun’s house.

When Xia Jun saw the children, he could not stop smiling. Now that Xia Jun was much older, he liked to play with the children. Seeing the children having fun noisily around him made him feel happy and alive. He even felt as if he had suddenly become many years younger.

“Grandfather, why don’t you move to the courtyard house and be neighbors with Father and Mother. I’ve already bought that house. Then, you can also play chess with my grandfather. The two of you can keep each other company,” Qiao Mei said as she sat beside Xia Jun.

“I can’t leave the military compound. The higher-ups don’t allow me to do that!” Xia Jun said helplessly.

Xia Jun had actually gone to stay in that courtyard house for a period of time during the new year. The superior in charge of the military compound made several phone calls to ask him to move back urgently.

Xia Jun was one of the last few veterans who survived the war. The military still needed Xia Jun’s guidance in many issues and they could only ensure his safety when he was in the military compound. They deemed it too dangerous for him to live in the courtyard house which Qiao Mei bought and did not want to take the risk.

“It’s fine. We’ll bring our children over to visit you often,” Xia Wen said.

Xia Jun nodded in satisfaction. He looked at Xia You and asked, “Your siblings and cousins already have children. When are you and Lu Huai going to have a child of your own?”

“Grandfather, Lu Huai and I are currently progressing well in our careers and we want to work hard for the next few years. We will put the matter of children aside for the time being. Besides, it’s fate whether one has children or not. When it’s meant to be, the child will come no matter what,” Xia You said.
