Chapter 1543 Small Bamboo Decorative Hanging
"He doesn't act like an older brother at all! And he even says that I'm disobedient! Those people came to find trouble with me! It's not as if I went to provoke them. What kind of older brother is this! Who else should I look for if I get into trouble in the future! If I don't look for my own brother, then should I look to someone else for help!" When Xia He heard what Qiao Mei said, she remembered what had just happened and started complaining.
While Xia He was complaining non-stop about Xia Wen, he looked at Qiao Mei and shook his head. He did not know how to deal with Xia He anymore. Qiao Mei immediately understood what he meant.
"Then we don't need Eldest Brother anymore. Our family should split up as well," Qiao Mei said.
"Split up! No way!" Xia He said quickly.
Qiao Mei asked curiously, "Why not? Didn't you just list so many of Eldest Brother's shortcomings? Isn't it the best choice for us to split up? Now that we're all grown up, splitting up doesn't affect anyone's lives. We might all even do better! You also don't have to worry about Eldest Brother nagging you all the time."
Xia He had no such intention at all. She was just... just being haughty and spoiled... Other older brothers doted on their younger sisters very much. If the younger sister wanted the stars in the sky, the older brother would always find a way to pluck them for her.
However, this older brother of hers was like a fatherly figure! He was always reprimanding her about some issue. Although Xia Wen had also praised Xia He before, for some reason, Xia He could only remember his bad side.
"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore." Qiao Mei looked at Xia He and asked, "Why exactly did you get sent to the police station?"
"I... I got into a fight..." Xia He said tactfully.
Zou Ming had already called Qiao Mei and told her about everything that happened. The truth was that Qiao Mei knew everything that happened in the factory during this period of time. She did not know what came over Yao Nian, but he had been working very hard recently and did not miss out on even the most trivial piece of information. Qiao Mei was a person who liked to hear gossip, so she simply let Yao Nian investigate everything.
Qiao Mei even knew that He Mei was the instigator of this entire incident. She had asked Yao Nian to go around and find out interesting information about other people's families. She paid him according to the shock factor of the gossip, the rates being 50 dollars for mundane news, 100 dollars for fairly interesting news and 200 dollars for explosive news.
Yao Nian was very willing to take on this job. He was going to run out of money otherwise.
"Alright, you should sleep here tonight. I'll go to the factory with you tomorrow to see what we can do," Qiao Mei said.
Huang Meng and Zhao Ni returned home dejectedly. They had gone out very early in the morning. It was almost midnight now. It had been a really long day!
Old Madam Qian had been left hungry at home for the entire day. None of her three sons were dependable. They went out to feast around and left her alone at home to eat noodles. This was all her daughters-in-law's fault!
