After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! - Chapter 1504

Chapter 1504 No Manners

With Xia Jun and Xia Mao around, Xia Lu and Xia Yan would not be able to harm Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe at all. However, by behaving this way, these two kids had probably completely alienated themselves from the Xia family.

“Hey, the kids are just insensible. Don’t mind them!” It was rare for Zhou Luo to know that she should speak up in such a situation. She tried very hard to signal the two boys using her eyes. Xia Lu and Xia Yan suppressed their anger and sat back down.

“Even if the kids are insensible, don’t tell me that you’re insensible too…” Xia You muttered in disdain.

The good thing was that Zhou Luo did not hear her say this. Otherwise, Zhou Luo would have gone berserk again and would not be able to talk to everyone so calmly.

Qiao Mei was very curious as to why Zhou Luo, who had been glaring around angrily just a moment ago, suddenly became so well-mannered now. Could it be that she had a motive for being here today? Or could it be that all the vegetarian food she ate just now had caused her to find her conscience?

After all the dishes were served, Xia Jun picked up his chopsticks and everyone started eating. Zhou Luo and the two boys had eaten so much that their stomachs were already full. How could they still be able to eat the delicacies in front of them?

“Third Cousin-in-law, you’re such a good cook. My third cousin is so lucky!” Xia You said happily as she waved her hands around.

Liu Fen hurriedly slapped Xia You’s hands and said, “Have some manners! Don’t move around while eating! Lu Huai, don’t spoil Xia You. Otherwise, she’ll behave worse than the livestock at home!”

Lu Huai quickly admitted that it was all his fault, worried that Xia You would get reprimanded again. Xia You sat up straight and ate properly. It was no wonder that Liu Fen lost her temper. She had just said that Zhou Luo did not know how to bring up the two boys. Zhou Luo would laugh at Liu Fen if she witnessed how Xia You behaved just now.

“Um… Qiao Mei, how’s the business at your factory recently? It should be very good! I think the supermarket near my house sells Osmantus-branded popcorn and seeds!” Zhou Luo said as she looked at Qiao Mei, who was sitting at the far end of the dining table.

“Is that so? My mother is in charge at the factory. I’m not too sure about anything, but from what Auntie Zhou said, it seems that my mother is doing quite well,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

“Qiao Mei, stop joking. I’ve already heard! They all say that the director of the Osmanthus Food Factory works overtime at the factory every day and has been sleeping over at the factory for a few days already. Who else can it be but you!” Zhou Luo said.

Qiao Mei pursed her lips helplessly. She did not expect Zhou Luo to know so much and to have been asking around for information about the factory. It seemed that Zhou Luo had an ulterior motive for coming to dinner today. Qiao Mei originally thought that Zhou Luo was here to look for Xia Jun, but she did not expect to be the one whom Zhou Luo was interested in.

“I’m just there to help out. After all, I still have to take care of the children,” Qiao Mei said.

Xia Lu and Xia Yan were going to graduate soon. Before the Xia family split up, Xia Jun would send them an amount of money for their expenses every month. Xia Guang would also send money to Zhou Luo. Now that the family had split up, Xia Guang no longer cared about these two children and Xia Jun had also stopped sending money. Their family was having a hard time now!

These two children had it particularly tough. They were brought up in a pampered manner and were used to buying the best things. It was easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal! Their family had to borrow money to meet their current household expenses!

Zhou Luo had thought that so long as she paid for their studies, they would be able to find a good job after graduation. Unexpectedly, none of the workplaces wanted to hire the two of them. Their results were all fake! They had lied about doing well in school and they had cheated on all their examinations!

Now, she could only rely on the Xia family to find a good job for the two of them. She had heard that even the lowest-ranking employee in Qiao Mei’s factory could earn about 100 dollars a month after including the performance pay!

This salary could even be higher than Xia He’s monthly salary, which was something unheard of. Given that Xia Lu and Xia Yan were both Xia family members, Qiao Mei must definitely offer the two boys managerial positions if she hired them. Otherwise, how could she face Xia Guang?

“Your two younger cousins are about to graduate soon. They’re both university students. Do you want to consider hiring them?” Zhou Luo probed.

“The factory has enough staff for now. We recently hired two fresh graduates from Capital University and their results are among the best in their year. My two younger cousins are too talented to be stuck at my factory,” Qiao Mei said tactfully.
