Chapter 1466 They Are Here Too
Qiao Mei immediately saw Xia Wen and Xu Lan. Second Aunt-in-law had brought Xia Wan and Xia You with her and they greeted Qiao Mei warmly.
"Qiao Mei! Come over here! I've been waiting for you here for a long time! I thought you had something on today and couldn't come!" Xia You said excitedly.
"How can I not attend Xia He's performance? If I don't come, she'll definitely skin me alive later!" Qiao Mei said with a laugh.
This indeed sounded like something that Xia He could do. After Xia Wan helped to settle the four children, Li Gui and Qian'e into their seats, she returned to her own seat. If Xia Wen was the leader among their generation, then Xia Wan was like the head of logistics. She always quietly took care of all the minor details and handled many things that Xia Wen did not take notice of.
Xia Wen had lamented before that he felt Xia Wan should continue to work in the government and not stay at home to take care of her husband and children. She would be able to achieve so much more if she pursued her career.
There was nothing that Xia Wan could do about the whole situation. After all, her child was very young at that time, fell sick often and needed a lot of care. As a mother, she was often worried about how her own child was doing at home. In the end, she decided to resign and take good care of the child herself.
After Qiao Mei greeted everyone, she suddenly saw Zhou Hua and Zhou Luo sitting on the leftmost seats. She had thought that the people from the third son's family would not come!
"Oh! Third Aunt-in-law and Auntie Zhou are here too!" Qiao Mei said in surprise as she looked at the two people sitting next to them.
"Are you seeing them only now! I'm so angry that I'm about to die. Third Aunt-in-law didn't say anything sarcastic, but Auntie Zhou said a lot of things to criticize Sister Xia He. She made me so angry that I almost slapped her!" Xia You said furiously.
Zhou Hua really liked to come to such places. She was not very cultured, but she liked to pretend to be a cultured person. She would attend every performance at the theater. Zhou Luo was probably just here to join in the fun.
"Don't be angry. I'm the one who asked Xia He to send them the tickets, but I didn't know that Third Uncle would give the tickets to the two of them. I thought it would be Xia Xing and his two younger brothers coming today," Qiao Mei said softly.
"It's a waste to give them tickets! You've helped their family solve such a big problem, yet they don't even feel grateful and still bully you all the time. If you ask me, you shouldn't care about such heartless people!" Xia You deliberately raised her voice and said this.
Liu Fen patted Xia You's arm and said, "You're a junior, so how can you gossip about your elders here? Be quiet! Be careful or I'll tell your father to come back and teach you a lesson!"
"Hmph, I'm not afraid!" Xia You pouted and said.
"Yes, yes, yes! You have Lu Huai backing you up, so what do you need to be afraid of! Why isn't your husband here today?" Qiao Mei asked.
Although Qiao Mei was very young, Xia Zhe was not! Basically, other than Xia Wan, the rest of the cousins needed to address her like their senior.
"He has something on today. He's been busy recently and he's out of town right now!" Xia You said.
Lu Huai was a truck driver and delivered goods between factories and vendors all over the country. Every time he came back, he would bring Xia You all kinds of local specialties from other areas. Nowadays, Xia You would also share some of the specialties with Qiao Mei. Lu Huai probably earned about 40 dollars per trip. It was not a lot of money.
Qiao Mei looked down and pondered for a while. Suddenly, she thought of a good idea. She grabbed Xia You's hand and asked, "Does your husband know other truck drivers!"
"Yes… yes, they even have a convoy. They worry about getting into accidents on the road so they take care of one another," Xia You said honestly.
"Alright! I'll tell you more when I have a more concrete idea!" Qiao Mei said.
At the moment, she still did not need Lu Huai and his big truck. She did not know how well their seeds would sell in other areas. However, it was something that she needed to do eventually. She could not stick to only retail sales in the capital. If she wanted to maximize profits, she would need to become a wholesaler.
Once the time was right, she would ask Lu Huai to come and work for her. She just needed Lu Huai to sit in the office every day and arrange the schedules for the other drivers. There was no need for Lu Huai to drive around anymore. This way, Xia You would have a lot more time with Lu Huai and the two of them would not need to be separated like now. They had been married for more than a year but did not have children yet!
The good thing was that Xia You's mother-in-law was a nice person. She understood that it was not easy for Xia You to always be alone at home, so she often cooked for Xia You and doted on Xia You very much. Life was still quite blissful for them.
