“Third Uncle! You have to be clear about who your family members are! You don’t know what she said about me just now! Everyone knows about that incident which happened some time ago! She spoke ambiguously about me in public and said she was speaking as your wife! Shouldn’t you give all of us an explanation for this?” Xia He said.
The truth was that everyone knew very well that Qiao Mei was the one who did this. In the beginning, Xia Wen still thought that Qiao Mei had gone too far. However, after hearing what everyone said, he felt that Qiao Mei had done too little!
“It has not been easy for her! Can’t all of you be more tolerant of her?” Xia Guang said, looking troubled.
“Do you think it has been easy for us? Do you think it has been easy for Qiao Mei’s children? She joined forces with outsiders to harm Qiao Mei and even instructed my two younger cousins to abduct Qiao Mei’s children. Third Uncle, don’t tell me you’ve forgotten about all these? Did we go after her for all these? If we really want to settle scores with her, do you think she can still be alive now?” Xia You said.
Xia Jun had been listening to the exchange in the neighboring room. Seeing that Xia Guang had really gone too far, he walked out of the room slowly and said, “Third son, I am really disappointed with you.”
“Father! It’s not what you think! Zhou Hua really didn’t do those things on purpose! But it’s Qiao Mei who did this! You have to be fair when it comes to rewards and punishments!” Xia Guang shouted.
“Haven’t you always said that I’m always biased towards my eldest son’s family? Then I’m going to be totally biased today! Don’t come to any Xia family gatherings in the future! I’ll take it that I never have a son like you! The Xia family doesn’t have a third son from now on!” Xia Jun said fiercely.
Xia Jun stood up and said, “All of you must remember this. As Xia family members, we must never point our knives at our own people!”
“We know!” everyone said in unison.
After the interruption, all the guests went on to have a good time and left Xia You’s house happily at the end of the banquet. To express the Xia family’s apologies for what happened, every guest received half a watermelon harvested from Qiao Mei’s fields. Everyone knew that these watermelons were a precious commodity and ordinary people would not even be able to buy it.
At night, everyone went back to their own homes. After Xia Zhe returned from the army, he heard about everything that had happened at the wedding banquet. He looked at Qiao Mei dotingly and said, “You must have felt aggrieved today. I’m sorry that I wasn’t by your side.”
“It’s fine! I took revenge on the spot! How will I allow myself to be bullied by others!” Qiao Mei said proudly.
“I have some good news. Do you want to hear it?” Xia Zhe asked with a smile.
“Yes I do! Tell me!” Qiao Mei said excitedly.
“The matter between the Song family and the Du family has been resolved and everyone involved has been arrested. Moreover, I even found the place where the Song family kept their treasures! The Song family’s ancestors had left behind many treasures in their old house! That’s all I know though. I’m not sure about the exact hiding spots,” Xia Zhe said.
