NovelEnglishAfter Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!
Chapter 710 Phone Call From The Capital"You don't have to be anxious. We'll come and look for you when we're done with the investigation." With that, Xia He left the guest house.
Xia Wen and the others did not stay idle at home and he quickly made a phone call to Qiao Mei. Of course, they had to communicate with Qiao Mei about such matters. They could not simply believe everything an outsider said.
However, he was still very satisfied with Xu Lan's behavior just now. She did not directly suspect Qiao Mei like what she did in the past. Instead, she chose to trust Qiao Mei. The two of them had completely reconciled their relationship.
"Hello, this is Foshan Village. Who are you looking for?" Zhao Liang asked when he picked up the phone.
"Hello, I'm from the capital. My name is Xia Wen and I'm the eldest brother of Qiao Mei's husband. I'm looking for Qiao Mei due to some family matters. I wonder if it's convenient to get her to answer the call?" Xia Wen asked politely.
"Yes! Yes! Wait a moment while I take down your number. I'll get her to call you back later," Zhao Liang said warmly.
There were many mountain forests behind their village. Every year, many people would call him and arrogantly order him to patrol the forests. Some people even scolded him for not managing the situation well.

Zhao Liang rode his three-wheeled vehicle and went to Qiao Mei's house again.
"Qiao Mei! There's a call for you from the capital!" Zhao Liang stood at the door and shouted.
Qiao Mei hurriedly ran out of the house. Usually, it was Xia Zhe who would call her from the army unit and Zhao Liang knew him as well. Why would there be a call from the capital?
Could it be that something had happened to someone at home!
"Uncle Zhao, what's wrong! What happened!" Qiao Mei asked as she held Zhao Liang's arm anxiously.
That grip almost broke Zhao Liang's arm. If Zhao Liang had not shouted out in time, Qiao Mei would probably have broken his arm.
"Be gentle, be gentle! Ouch! Nothing happened at home, but something has happened to your Uncle Zhao," Zhao Liang said as he rubbed his arm in pain.
Seeing that Zhao Liang could still joke around, it should not be anything urgent. Qiao Mei sat in the back of the vehicle and followed Zhao Liang back to the village office to call Xia Wen.
"Hello, eldest brother, what's wrong?" Qiao Mei asked.
"Someone came to our house. I want to ask if you know anything about this," Xia Wen said softly.
The phone in the village was the oldest type. Even when the phone was placed on the table, the entire room could hear everything coming from the speaker.
Wang Qin was working at one side just now and she immediately put down her work when she heard that someone had gone to Qiao Mei's house in the capital. She guessed that the person was Qiao Yu!
"Who is it? Is Third Aunt-in-law back?" Qiao Mei asked.
Back then, Zhou Hua had run away with the money and there was still no trace of it at all. She refused to speak about it no matter what and it was useless even when Xia Guang came back.
Xia Guang's profession was quite special and he could not stay at home for too long. Before he could find out where Zhou Hua had hidden the money, he had to leave. After all, if he lost his job, he would not be able to pay back the money on her behalf.

Qiao Mei was about to say that there was no one around when she turned around and saw Wang Qin craning her neck to eavesdrop.
"Wait a moment, I'll get them all to leave," Qiao Mei whispered.
She pulled Zhao Liang aside and told him that her conversation with Xia Wen was something confidential. It was a government matter and it was not convenient for him and Wang Qin to be in the room, so she wanted him to bring Wang Qin out for a while.
No matter what Xia Wen told her later, she could just make up a story.
Zhao Liang also understood what Qiao Mei meant. Without another word, he brought Wang Qin to stand outside the door in the courtyard.
Only then did Qiao Mei feel at ease to pick up the phone and said, "Eldest brother, there's no one else in the room now. What exactly do you want to tell me that's so mysterious."
"Is there someone called Qiao Yu in your village? She's here with us now," Xia Wen said.
"Yes there is. I didn't expect her to go to your place. She's been gone for a day and a half and her family even came to question me," Qiao Mei said calmly.
Xia Wen told her everything that Qiao Yu had told them, including the part where she slandered Xia Zhe. Xia Wen even told Qiao Mei not to think too much about it. This matter must have been made up by Qiao Yu as Xia Zhe would not be so muddle-headed.
