Qiao Mei lowered her head and pursed her lips as she smiled. Xia Zhe and her did not just “fall in love”. They had many secrets that they could not tell anyone! If it was not for the original owner of the body who went to extreme measures back then, the woman next to Xia Zhe next would most likely not be her.

“You know your grandfather’s bad temper! He cares about his reputation the most! Back then, he already agreed for the two families to be related by marriage. If our family says that we don’t like their daughter, that family will kick up a fuss!” Liu Fen said helplessly.

“I met that girl today. It looks like she likes Xia Yuan very much and definitely will not back down,” Qiao Mei said.

“Then what should we do? We can’t let Xia Yuan marry her!” Xia He said agitatedly.

Qiao Mei looked down and pondered for a moment before saying, “Let’s ask Xia Yuan to come over and ask him if the girl he likes also wants to be with him. If she does, then let’s propose marriage to her family first! We can always talk about the wedding later!”

“That’s true! Qiao Mei’s idea is a good one! But  but your second uncle is on a work trip now. I can’t be the one to go and propose the idea of marriage to them. Otherwise, the girl’s family will think that we don’t respect them enough,” Liu Fen said.

“We can get Xia Yu to go or even Xia Wen. The eldest brother in the family is like the father. If the father is not around, the eldest brother can also represent the family,” Qiao Mei said.

“Alright! Let’s do that then!” After saying that, Liu Fen gave Xia Yuan a call and asked him to make a trip to Xu Lan’s courtyard house after work.

Everyone was asked to come over tonight! They wanted to discuss the matter of Xia Yuan’s marriage! Most importantly, Mo Zhu had received news from her friends that the country’s family planning policy was about to be implemented. In the future, each family was only allowed to have one child.

In the past, the general societal policy was equal compensation without regard to performance. In a village, everyone farmed together and earned work points. Under such circumstances, a bigger family would make more money. The resources were distributed based on headcount, so it was normal for a family in the countryside to have seven or eight children.

With the current economic development and cultural reforms, the government could not allow such a practice to continue. For the sake of economic progress, they intended to implement a policy of family planning. Each family should consolidate all its resources into bringing up one child extremely well. People should not have too many children! Otherwise, they would be fined!

“Xia He, you have to hurry! It’s best if you can have one son and one daughter! Our family can afford to take care of them! If you don’t give birth soon, what will happen to you once the family planning policy is implemented!” Xu Lan urged.

In Xu Lan’s opinion, a family must have both sons and daughters to be considered perfect. Moreover, with their family’s financial situation, they did not have to worry about not being able to afford to bring up the children, nor did they have to worry about the children not being able to get a good education. For them, the bigger the family, the more prosperous it was!

“Mother  Actually, I haven’t had my period for more than a month and a half. I have gone to the hospital recently to see Aunt and get a checkup and it’s confirmed that I’m already pregnant. It’s just that the pregnancy isn’t stabilized yet, so I did not tell any of you,” Xia He said embarrassedly.

“Oh my! Are you serious! Are you lying to me!” Xu Lan asked excitedly as she looked at Xia He’s stomach. Even Qiao Mei was very shocked. She had been busy with the company issues recently and had not paid much attention to Xia He.

Qiao Mei hurriedly reached out and touched Xia He’s stomach gently. The butterfly mark on her chest started to feel warm. She could vaguely feel that there was indeed a small fetus inside Xia He.

“It’s true! Aunt checked it personally!” Xia He said.

“Good things really come in pairs! Liu Fen, you have to finalize Xia Yuan’s marriage quickly! Who knows, Xia Yuan’s child might end up being born at around the same time as this baby!” Xu Lan said happily.

“Shoo, shoo, shoo! Don’t get me started. I’m not as lucky as you. I’m satisfied as long as Xia Yuan can get married before the end of next year!” Liu Fen said.

“Second Aunt-in-law, why do you say that? You have plenty of good luck too. Recently, Lu Huai’s company is expanding very fast. I intend to let him take charge of the business in Shen City. Xia Yu is also looking into doing business with Lu Huai. Everyone’s life is getting more and more prosperous!” Qiao Mei said.

“It’s all thanks to you, Qiao Mei. If not for you, my family will still be living an ordinary life and we might not even be able to live together in the capital. Lu Huai and Xia Yu have benefited from your presence!” Liu Fen said.

“It’s not all my efforts. Lu Huai and Xia Yu are both capable people and they just lack an opportunity to shine. All I did was to provide them with the opportunity. They work hard and achieve everything else themselves,” Qiao Mei said.
