1114 Go Find Someone Else
Xia He knew that Qiao Mei was doing this for her own good and wanted her to have a better life. Qiao Mei wanted Xia He to find her own happiness again and start a new life.

However, she did not lack or need anything. She only wanted the family to be well. She had already lost one home and did not want to lose the Xia family. As long as the Xia family was well and her brothers were safe and happy, she did not care about anything else.

After experiencing a failed marriage, she definitely did not want to go through it again.

“Just tell me what kind of person you like,” Qiao Mei said sweetly as she held Xia He’s little finger and shook it gently.

Without a second thought, Xia He said, “I want to find someone whose parents have already passed away. Someone who can treat me well and knows how to cook. Someone who’s an only child and doesn’t have any siblings, and has a good job. It’s best if he’s about the same age as me.”

!!
Qiao Mei sat up slowly and reached out to flick Xia He’s forehead. She laughed and said, “You! Do you know what you’re saying! If Mother hears what you’re saying, she will definitely punish you for being rude and insensible. What nonsense are you spouting!”

The ideal person whom Xia He described was the complete opposite of Kong Lu. It only served to show how much the relationship with Kong Lu had affected her.

Based on her list, just those two conditions about both parents having passed away and being an only child had already ruled out every one of Xia He’s current suitors. During this era, most people had many siblings and very few were an only child. Most people thought that having more children was a symbol of wealth. Furthermore, given that the amount of coupons each family received was based on the headcount, each family would definitely have as many children as they could.

In order to get more land in the village, Qiao Zhuang had six children! Each person was allocated one or two mu of land. Even after handing over a fixed amount of food to the village every year, there would still be some excess left for the family’s own use. Many people were envious of him!

“Don’t worry about me. You should worry more about yourself! If I get married, what will happen to you? Who will accompany you? It won’t be like now,” Xia He said.

“I don’t need your company! If I have nothing to do, I’ll ask Qian’e to come and visit me. Or I can ask my younger siblings. I still have my two children! How can there be no one to accompany me!” Qiao Mei said.

Qiao Mei did not want to be the one to hold Xia He back.

However, Xia He thought that it was because Qiao Mei no longer liked her and found her annoying. Xia He looked at Qiao Mei with a look of jealousy. Ever since Qian’e and Qiao Mei resolved their past grudges, Qiao Mei had become more and more concerned about Qian’e. She would give Qian’e a share of all the good things in the house. Whenever she bought anything, she would also buy an extra share for Qian’e.

Xia He was Qiao Mei’s husband’s biological elder sister! That Qian’e was at most considered a neighbor and not even a good friend of Xia Zhe. Why was Qiao Mei still so nice to her? Although Xia He usually did not usually say anything when she bore witness, she still felt jealous.
“Sure, sure, sure! Then let Qian’e accompany you! Anyway, she’s the best at making you happy. You find me annoying even though I’m here in front of you. I think you don’t want me as your elder sister anymore! Tomorrow, I’ll tell Mother that I’m not going to wait upon you anymore. I’m going to Guanghai to find a dance teacher!” Xia He said in a fit of pique.

“How can that be? I like you the most. How can I not want my elder sister? Qian’e is just a friend. I just want to matchmake her with Zheng Peng. Of course I know that my elder sister is nicest to me! Don’t be angry~ I like my elder sister the most~” Qiao Mei leaned on Xia He’s shoulder and said sweetly.

Xia He hurriedly helped Qiao Mei to sit up straight. That posture just now caused her stomach to be squashed and that would hurt the babies. It was very important that Qiao Mei did not get hurt.

“You’re at the most critical moment now. Be careful with your actions. You can’t do what you did just now! Do you understand!” Xia He said sternly.

“Yes, yes, yes. I’ll definitely listen to my elder sister,” Qiao Mei said.

The two of them chatted for a while longer and only fell asleep when it was almost dawn. By the time they woke up, it was already almost lunchtime. If this was any other day, Xu Lan would already have woken Xia He up to practice her basic skills. However, she was worried that if she entered the room, she would disturb Qiao Mei’s rest, so she let Xia He off. This was also the other reason why Xia He insisted on sleeping in the same room as Qiao Mei.
