729 Bad Upbringing
“You!” Xia He wanted to say something to Old Madam Kong.
Qiao Mei quickly said, “Calm down, talk about the money.”
Xia He held back her curses and said calmly, “Your son still owes me money. Bring me the money he owes first and we’ll talk about other things later.”
At the mention of money, Kong Li’s reaction was even greater than Old Madam Kong’s.
Kong Lu had taken almost 1,000 dollars from her. All her money had been taken away and she only had a few dollars left in her pocket. How could she get married?
“My brother took all the money I have! Now I can’t find a boyfriend to get married to! Find me a boyfriend! I don’t care! You have to be responsible for my marriage!” Kong Li said as she cried.
Qiao Mei could not help but laugh out loud on the other end of the phone. When it came to Kong Li, even setting aside her figure, with such a family and her temper, how many men would want to marry her?
At that time, she still asked Xia Zhe to help her keep an eye out and insisted that she wanted to find someone from the army. Kong Lu had been in the army for so many years and did not manage to find a suitable person for Kong Li, so how could Xia Zhe and the others help?
“Is it because of money that you can’t find a boyfriend…” Xia He muttered softly.
Just as Kong Li was about to flare up, Xu Lan and Liu Fen arrived home with a lot of groceries. As soon as they entered, they saw that the glass window at the door had shattered. The glass in their house was blast-proof, so even if it shattered, it would not drop all over the floor.
“What… what’s going on?” Liu Fen looked at the glass in disbelief.
Xu Lan was also at a loss. This was the first time she had encountered such a thing. She threw down the vegetables in her hand and prepared to grab Liu Fen and run away. When Xia He heard the commotion, she quickly ran to the door and shouted, “Mother! Where are you going?”
“Why are you at home! Did a thief enter the house? Are you alright? Did the He family members come to seek revenge? Quick, follow me to your grandfather’s house!” Xu Lan pulled Xia He along and wanted to run out together.
Xia He smiled resignedly and said, “My mother-in-law and sister-in-law are here. They’re kicking up a fuss in the house.”
Regarding the fact that Xia He insisted on a divorce, Liu Fen had kept advising Xia He to be sensible. There were no mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law in the world who did not quarrel. However, looking at the situation today, it appeared that Xia He had really suffered a lot for so many years.
This mother-in-law was too aggressive. This door cost 400 dollars. It was the best anti-explosive door on the market, but she could even break it. Her combat strength was indeed extraordinary.
“In-law, you’re back. Hurry up and come in for a chat,” Old Madam Kong shouted towards the door.
“Those who don’t know better would think that this is the Kong family’s house…” Liu Fen muttered disdainfully.
Xu Lan looked at the Kong family’s mother and daughter with a cold expression and said impatiently, “Go and get Xiao Wei from the security department. I’ll ask him if we simply let anyone in at will now.”
“What are you saying! We’re your in-laws! What do you mean by anyone? Can’t I come to my sister-in-law’s house?” Kong Li said arrogantly to Xu Lan, taking advantage of the fact that Old Madam Kong was also there.
“Is this how the Kong family raise their kids? How dare a junior talk to me like this? Your family’s upbringing is really not bad!” Xu Lan said mockingly.
Xia He had thought that Xu Lan would side with the Kong family. She did not expect her to start scolding the Kong family’s mother and daughter as soon as she entered the house. It was really satisfying to see.
After Qiao Mei’s fake miscarriage, Xu Lan seemed to have become a different person. The specific change was that the unreachable fairy-like mother had become warmer.
After understanding what motherly love felt like, Xu Lan began to change her mindset from focusing on her career and herself to caring more for her family.
“It’s none of your business what kind of upbringing our family has, but how did you educate Xia He? We have come all the way here and don’t even get a glass of water. Is this the upbringing of the Xia family?” Old Madam Kong said, not to be outdone.
This matter was indeed a lack of etiquette on their part. After all, the Kong family was still their in-laws now. Xu Lan gently patted Xia He’s hand and said, “Go, this is what we should do.”
Xia He sighed and took out the glasses that had not been used for a long time. She cleaned them half-heartedly and used them to serve Old Madam Kong and Kong Li. Later on, she would not feel any heartache even if she had to throw them away.
She must get rid of all the things that the Kong family members had used. To her, the things were too dirty! It would be best if she never had anything to do with the Kong family again!
