After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! - Chapter 1070

1070 Introducing a Girlfriend
After around five to six minutes, everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks. They had all finished eating and only Tan Jing was still eating slowly alone.

Seeing that everyone had stopped, Tan Jing quietly put down her bowl and chopsticks. Sister Fan cleared the table efficiently. The next meal would be at noon.

Everyone went to the backyard to chat as it was rare that the weather was warmer today. The men went back into the house to talk business, so the women gathered together to have a casual conversation about the gossip they had heard recently and the trivial matters at home.

“Eldest sister, are you and that… Jiang Jin still seeing each other?” Xia Fang asked.

Xia Xiu and Xia Fang got along very well and could tell each other everything. Xia Xiu also especially favored Xia Fang’s son. If she had to rank her favorite children in the Xia family, Xia Zhe and Xiang Chen would share the top spot.

!!
“He’s so stubborn. He feels that being with me now will only hold me back for the rest of my life. We aren’t really in contact now,” Xia Xiu said resignedly.

At their age, as long as they were each doing well, they would not force anything on each other. Jiang Jin knew very well that he had let Xia Xiu down back then and he felt too ashamed to continue the relationship. Xia Xiu was living well now, so he did not want to disrupt her peaceful life.

“That’s good too. You won’t have to worry about trivial manners. I really can’t imagine you being busy with groceries and household chores every day,” Xu Lan said with a laugh.

As Liu Fen munched on seeds, she asked, “Xiao Fang, is your Xiao Chen already of marriageable age? Does he have someone he likes or an idea of the kind of girl he likes? We can all keep a lookout for him.”

“Second Sister-in-law, are you muddle-headed? My Xiang Chen is still in school this year. He doesn’t even have a stable job yet, so how can he get married? Won’t he just be making life difficult for the girl!” Xia Fang said.

Regarding the topic of marriage, Liu Fen should be the one feeling more anxious. Her two sons were not young anymore and they still had not even found someone they liked! Both of them had been single for many years.

“Xia He, didn’t you promise me to find girlfriends for your two younger cousins? It’s been half a year. Where are the candidates?” Liu Fen asked.

Xia He only wanted to just sit down and listen to the gossip, but she did not expect to be called upon. She had really brought this upon herself!

“I did! I’ve been looking around all this while. I can’t do such a task too casually and I have to choose carefully. But then again, Second Aunt-in-law, you have such high expectations. It’s hard to find a girl like Qiao Mei. Why don’t you lower your expectations?” Xia He said with a troubled expression.

“No! I want to find a daughter-in-law like Qiao Mei!” Liu Fen said stubbornly.

Xia Xiu could not stop smiling. This was the first time she had seen Liu Fen like this. Back then, she wondered who was the one who despised Qiao Mei so much and said that Qiao Mei was just a pretty face with nothing going for her apart from her good looks. This same person even called Qiao Mei a foxy woman who seduced Xia Zhe into doing something wrong and then forced him to get married.

The image of Liu Fen gnashing her teeth was still vivid in Xia Xiu’s mind. Now, Liu Fen would praise Qiao Mei many times a day. Not long ago, she even went to the temple to burn incense and pray to the gods to give her two daughters-in-law like Qiao Mei.

“You should just lower your standards. Not everyone can find a girl like our Qiao Mei. Our Xia Zhe is still the best and he has good taste!” Xu Lan said proudly.

Liu Fen angrily grabbed a handful of seeds and stuffed them into Xu Lan’s hands as she said, “Don’t say things to make me angry. Eat some seeds. There’s so much to eat, yet it can’t stuff your mouth!”

“I still want to say it! My Qiao Mei is so likable! Oh well, it’s something you can’t have even if you want it~” If Xu Lan had a tail, she would be wagging it proudly!

Today was the first day of the new year. After Qiao Mei woke up, she tied up her hair in a simple bun and decorated it with a hairpin. Then, she put on a simple teal-colored cheongsam with a modified design. The upper part of the dress was still based on the traditional design, but the lower part was an A-line skirt that could hide her bulging stomach. She had designed this dress herself!
After getting dressed, Qiao Mei put on a cloak made from fox fur. Xia Zhe had personally hunted the fox in the mountains! She had designed and made the cloak herself. If she had time in the future, she could open a boutique and create her own brand.

After the children grew up, she not only wanted to enter the food and beverage industry, the clothing industry and the furniture industry, but she also wanted to dabble in logistics and expand her business widely.
