Li Gui had told Qiao Mei before that if a child got a fright, it was very likely to cause a high fever. Some children might even get convulsions! There were even fatal cases! Taking care of children was not a small matter and one had to be especially careful.

Young children were very fragile and would fall sick easily. The adults had to be especially careful.

"Look, this is the end result of you insisting on letting them enter the house! This family is not an easy one to deal with!" Xia He said angrily.

Qiao Mei sat on the chair and sighed. As the saying went, curiosity killed the cat. In the future, she would not be curious about these things anymore. Her curiosity had caused her a lot of trouble!

"I'll listen to you from now on, alright? How would I know that they'd behave so inappropriately? I'm so shocked," Qiao Mei said aggrievedly.

"There are more than 40 people here. Is she going to move all the Shao family members from the village to the capital? You can't let them move into the corn courtyard house. Who knows if they will ever leave after they move in. Perhaps they have come here with the intention of settling down in the capital!" Xia He said.

"I'll remember that. Should we call home? What if they really go to trouble Mother?" Qiao Mei said with a frown.

"There's Luo Yu at Mother's place. Father has long issued an instruction not to let anyone enter the house. We are among the few who are allowed to go in," Xia He said.

"What exactly is Zhou Luo thinking? Why would she introduce such a person to Brother Xing," Qiao Mei said.

"Who knows! Isn't she like another version of my ex-sister-in-law? She's not going to be easy to get along with in the future. They shouldn't have let Xia Xing return to the capital. There will definitely be more troublesome matters in the future!" Xia He said melancholically.

"Sigh… Let's continue talking about the schools…" Qiao Mei picked up the introductory booklets from the various schools and continued the discussion with Xia He. Even if she chose this school, the children might not be able to study there. There was still the entrance examination at the school! If they did not have the aptitude, they might not even be able to pass the entrance examination.

After Shao Yin sent Bian Jiu home, she secretly ran out with Shao Le to look for her parents. The two of them quietly slipped into the guest house while doing their best to avoid Shao Chun and Shao Tu.

"What took you so long! It's already getting dark! What does the Xia family say? Are we supposed to continue staying here?" Shao Zhuang asked as he grabbed Shao Yin's wrist.

Shao Yin frowned and said unhappily, "Dad! You're hurting me!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm just too anxious!" Shao Zhuang quickly let go and asked, "Do you have any news?"

"No… Xia Xing just started work at the workplace unit recently and is very busy there. My father-in-law is in the same situation as Xia Xing," Shao Yin said with a sigh. She did not intend to hide anything from her parents. Anyway, Bian Duo and Zhou Luo knew each other. It would be useless for Shao Yin to lie.

"Is there no one else in the Xia family who can take care of this matter?" Shao Zhuang asked.

"They're all very busy and have no time for me! Zhou Hua has already divorced my father-in-law. Who else can I look for now! I can't go to my father-in-law to talk about these family matters," Shao Yin said angrily.

ραndαsnοvεl.cοm Back then, Bian Duo and the others were the ones who forced her to marry Xia Xing. They kept telling her how powerful the Xia family was, but now? It was completely different from what they had said back then! Now that something had happened, everyone was questioning her like it was her fault. She was the real victim here!

"The Xia family is really terrible! Zhou Luo is the one who urged us to marry our daughter to Xia Xing, but now they're making my precious daughter suffer all kinds of grievances! It's too much!" Shao Zhuang said.

"You're still blaming the Xia family! Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming to the capital! You even brought so many people with you. How do you expect me to make the arrangements!" Shao Yin said angrily.

"You said that you're living in a big house in the capital, so that's why I brought so many people to come and show their support for you! Why are you blaming us for coming!" Bian Duo said unhappily.

Shao Le stood up and said, "Everyone, calm down. Let's think about what to do next. There's no use talking about who's the one responsible as it won't solve any problems."

Shao Zhuang walked forward and gave Shao Le a slap. Shao Yin and Bian Duo pretended not to see anything, as if they were already used to such things.

"Wretched girl! You've been staying here for so many days, did you even speak up for your younger sister! You still want to teach us what to do! Get lost! Don't be an eyesore here!" Shao Zhuang said disdainfully.
