After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! Chapter 2359: Any More Younger Brothers or Sisters?

Chapter 2359: Any More Younger Brothers or Sisters?

"I've already heard from my mother that your family has fixed the wedding date for the day after tomorrow. I'm not agreeable to this. Although it's not my mother's first time getting married, our family is still quite prominent in the capital. If others find out that she's getting married in such a rushed manner, they'll think that there's something wrong," Qiao Mei said.

"Then when do you want to do it?" Old Madam Xu asked tentatively.

Qiao Mei looked at the people around her. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I've already asked a respected elder for advice about this and he said that after two months, the 10th day of the third month is a good day. It's not bad to get married on that day."

Li Gui did not say anything, knowing very well that Qiao Mei was just trying to bluff the Xu family. Qiao Mei's intention was to give Old Madam Xu a warning. She did not want the old lady to think that Li Gui did not have anyone to protect her after marrying into the Xu family! Qiao Mei and the Xia family would always back Li Gui up!

"No! Two months is really too long! My health is too poor for such a long wait!" Old Madam Xu said in her strong and healthy voice. There did not seem to be anything wrong with her.

Qiao Mei raised her eyebrows and looked at Old Madam Xu, saying, "The way I see it... you don't look like you're seriously ill. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I... I'm just hoping that Xu Ba will get married soon! The two of them have dragged on for far too long. I'm just so anxious!" Old Madam Xu said as she suppressed her anger.

Qiao Mei nodded in understanding and continued, "The elder did give me another date, which is next Tuesday. It's six days from now. If you are agreeable, then we can hold the wedding banquet on that day."

'No problem! No problem! Next Tuesday it is!" Old Madam Xu said immediately.

It was so rare for Qiao Mei to relent. If they did not fix the date now, Qiao Mei might even eventually object to Li Gui marrying Xu Ba! That would be a huge loss to the Xu family!

At this critical moment, Old Madam Xu was willing to tolerate anything. She would wait until Li Gui joined the family. Once Li Gui married into the family, she would become a member of the Xu family! At that time, Old Madam Xu would be able to do whatever she wanted with Li Gui! Qiao Mei would not have any more say!

After everything was settled, Qiao Mei made arrangements to send the Xu family members off. Xu Ba and Li Gui stayed behind.

"I bought this house a long time ago and I really like it a lot. It's renovated in the style which you like. I had originally wanted this to be your home in the capital after you retire, but from the looks of it, I have to give you this house earlier than I expected," Qiao Mei said as she looked at Li Gui.

Tears welled up in Li Gui's eyes. She felt that she must have acc.u.mulated a lot of merit in her past life. In fact, from the day Qiao Mei was born, she had not been by Qiao Mei's side for long. She was not a good mother to Qiao Mei, but Qiao Mei did not dwell on the past and was also very understanding about her difficulties back then. Qiao Mei was really very nice to her.

She did not know how to make up for the hurt which her mistakes had caused to Qiao Mei back then.

"Alright, let's not get too sentimental. Let's talk about something practical." Qiao Mei looked at Xu Ba and continued, "Uncle Xu, do you and my mother plan to have children?"

Xu Ba was slightly stunned. He had not thought about this issue. After all... he and Li Gui were still at the stage of holding hands and they did not even hug much.

Li Gui blushed and sat down at the side. She whispered, "I... I'm already too advanced in age to have children! I already have you five and Xu Ba also has two children. It is already a lot of work for us to take care of seven children. We won't be able to cope if we have any more children."

"The kids are already all grown up and they don't really need you to take care of them. Besides, we have helpers at home, so what's there to be worried about? We can always hire another helper if required," Qiao Mei said.

"I..." Li Gui said hesitantly. She had not thought about this issue.

Xu Ba was a little tempted by what Qiao Mei said. He knew that Qiao Mei was the one who made all the "divine medicine" in the Xia family. He had heard that the most effective medicine could even bring a person back from the dead and was something very amazing. With such medicine, even if Li Gui was considered to be at an advanced pregnancy age, she did not have to worry too much.

The truth was... he wanted to have a child. Specifically, he wanted to have a child with Li Gui. Xu Ba and Li Gui looked at each other and knew what the other person was thinking. If it was possible, both of them wanted to have another child.

"Alright, alright. I'm just asking. This matter can't be forced anyway. The two of you can decide what to do." After saying that, Qiao Mei handed the house key to Li Gui.

Qiao Mei was just curious about whether she would have another younger brother or sister! She wondered if she would still be fated to have siblings in the future?

The next task was to decide on the guest list for the wedding reception and the list of dishes to be served at the banquet. Li Gui and Xu Ba kept blus.h.i.+ng and did not dare to look at each other. It was hard to believe that the two of them were still so innocent at their age.
