After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

626 Trash at the Door

“It’s all settled. I’ll go back to work after a while. If I don’t go to work soon, there won’t be room for an idle person like me at home,” Xia He said self-deprecatingly.

“Even if you stay at home for the rest of your life, the family can afford to pay for you,” Xia Wen said.

During this period of time, Xia He did not go home and stayed at Xia Fang’s house. Every time she returned home, she would see Xu Lan crying. There was nothing she could do about Xu Lan, but she could not tell her the truth either. She felt really uncomfortable holding it in and thought that it was better to hide away rather than to face it.

“Then what about Kong Lu? What are you going to do? Don’t blame me for asking too many questions. There has to be an end between the two of you,” Xia Wen asked.

This was the first time Xia Wen had asked Xia He about this matter in a serious manner. He had never been worried about his younger sister. The only issue he ever had was with this brother-in-law.

Back then, he did not agree to them being together. If not for Xia He’s stubbornness, they would not have been able to get married!

However, he had no right to criticize Xia He. When he first got married to Tan Jing, Xu Lan did not think highly of Tan Jing either. She felt that Tan Jing’s family background was not worthy of them. It was only because Tan Jing had a good temper and was a quiet person that she begrudgingly allowed them to get married.

“Let’s wait for him to return all the money to me. He hasn’t contacted me yet and I’m not in a hurry. The ones who are anxious are definitely his mother and sister! Without my salary, they won’t be able to survive with that little bit of money that Kong Lu has!” Xia He said.

It was easy for someone to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. The Kong family’s mother and daughter had been living a luxurious life for so many years. Now that they no longer had a good source of income, they could not even afford to buy vegetables! It turned out that the food coupons they used belonged to Xia He.

“Don’t forget too easily. You’ll be the one at a disadvantage later,” Xia Wen complained.

“I’ve already made a decision about this matter. Besides, Qiao Mei also talked to me about it. Anyway, he has to return the money to me first before we get the divorce. Then, I’ll use this sum of money to buy a house or something and make a home of my own. Qiao Mei said that if I buy it now, it will be seen as the joint property of the married couple. When we get a divorce, I’ll have to give half of the house to Kong Lu. I’m not going to let him take it away!” Xia He said.

“Qiao Mei even knows this!” Xia Wen exclaimed.

What a quirky little girl. It was the Xia family’s fortune that Xia Zhe married her.

During this time, there was not much understanding about the division of assets between husband and wife. Even if there was a law, everyone would choose to settle it in private. After all, divorce was still a scandal in this era. Who would want to make a big fuss about the division of assets?

Besides, even if there was money, how much could both of them take away? For the sake of their reputation, everyone chose to suffer in silence.

As she spoke, there was a knock on the door. Xia He stuffed the grape she was holding into her mouth and ran to open the door.

The moment she opened the door and saw He Ning and Huo Gao, and the hypocritical and smiling expressions on their faces, Xia He slammed the door shut again.

He Ning’s smile froze on his face. The only people who would dare to leave him out in the cold was the Xia family. If his inner thoughts could manifest, then there would definitely be a bunch of ellipses above He Ning’s head.

“What’s wrong? Who knocked on the door?” Xia Wen looked at Xia He in confusion.

“Nothing. There are two pieces of trash standing at the door,” Xia He said sulkily.

When Xia Wen heard Xia He’s description, he knew who it was. He stood up and patted Xia He’s head gently and said, “You. You’re so rude to them. Go inside quickly. I’ll handle this matter.”

Xia He carried the plate of grapes into the house angrily. Even if she had to feed the grapes to the dogs, she would not give He Ning a bite!

Xia Wen put on his professional smile and slowly opened the door. He felt good when he saw He Ning’s unhappy expression.

“My younger sister just had an argument with me and she’s not in a good mood. If she offended Brother He, please don’t take it to heart,” Xia Wen said with a straight face.

“It’s fine. It’s common for girls to throw tantrums,” He Ning said with a smile.

“Sorry to keep you waiting. Come in and have a seat.” Xia Wen turned sideways and invited He Ning and Huo Gao into the courtyard.

He Ning looked around at the courtyard house in satisfaction. The original design was too old-fashioned and boring. There were spots that were too damaged. After Xia Wen worked on it, it looked quite elegant and suited his taste.
