After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

1086 I Guarantee There Will Not Be a Next Time

That old b*tch, Jiang Yi, only had those same few tricks up her sleeves. Whatever she had done at Qiao Mei’s place was intended to scare Qiao Mei into submitting to her requests.

As the saying went, one would never visit unless one needed something. She would never give up easily before she got something she wanted.

“Why are you only telling me about this now! Did you get hurt?” Xu Lan turned to look at Tan Jing angrily and roared, “Tan Jing! What exactly is your mother trying to do! It’s one thing for your family to come to the Xia family to cause trouble, but now they want to disturb Qiao Mei and her family! What more does your Tan family want!”

Whenever it was anything related to Qiao Mei, Xu Lan would get very worked up! If someone hurt Qiao Mei, Xu Lan would not let that person off easily. If she had to, she would chase that person to the ends of the earth and tear that person into pieces!

“I… I don’t know about this either. My mother and the rest of the family never discuss anything with me. There’s nothing I can do about it,” Tan Jing said as she lowered her head.

It was the same story all over again… Xu Lan was always biased towards Qiao Mei. This was only a matter of Qiao Mei being reprimanded by an elder, so how could it be considered a serious matter? Jiang Yi could be considered Qiao Mei’s elder. It was not a big deal for her to come and pay a visit.

“There’s nothing you can do? These are your parents! If you don’t have a solution, are we supposed to find a solution for you? You don’t agree with our plan to have the Tan family return the money they borrowed and yet you can’t come up with a solution. Does the Xia family look like suckers to you? Are we an easy target for your Tan family? Are the two of you going to repay this debt? Do you know how much money the Tan family has taken from the Xia family over the past five years?” Xu Lan questioned.

Tan Jing and Xia Wen had been married for more than 10 years and it was already impossible to calculate everything in detail after so many years. Xu Lan and Xia Mao had only started to carefully record everything which the Tan family had taken from them in recent years. They had no idea initially, but they got a shock once they did the math. In the past five years, the Tan family had taken more than 20,000 dollars from them. This did not include the value of any physical items. Just the cash alone was more than 20,000 dollars.

There was no wonder that Xia Wen did not have any savings at all after so many years. Everything he owed had been taken away by the Tan family. In addition, Tan Jing gave away all the valuable things in their house, leaving nothing behind.

The Tan family was like leeches sucking on the Xia family. In the past, the leeches were small so the damage was not obvious. As time passed, these leeches were almost as thick as bamboo sticks now. If they were not completely eliminated, the Xia family would be destroyed by the Tan family sooner or later!

“But my parents really don’t have the ability to repay the money. It’s difficult for them to even support themselves, so how can they repay the money?” Tan Jing said.

“Eldest Sister-in-law, don’t you still have so many younger siblings at home? They must have taken a portion of that money too. Shouldn’t they help to repay the money? They are all young and healthy adults, so it shouldn’t be difficult for them to repay the debt, right?” Xia He looked at Tan Jing mockingly.

Tan Jing looked troubled. It was already good enough if her younger brothers did not do anything illegal and she did not expect them to have any money. If they were people who knew how to save money, they would not have ended up like this.

“Even if we put aside the issue about the money, what about the matter of the child? We can’t delay the resolution of this issue,” Xu Lan asked Tan Jing.

“The child… the child is just coming to the capital for a visit. He’s just here to take a look and visit his relatives,” Tan Jing said guiltily.

Xia Wen took a step forward and said, “Father, Mother, let me handle these issues.”

“Let you handle them? That’s what you told us the last time. In the end, you took everything upon yourself. The current issue is much bigger than before. Are you still going to take it upon yourself?” Xu Lan said with heartache.

Xia Wen had always been her most sensible child and she rarely needed to worry about him. However, this child was always muddle-headed when it came to Tan Jing and always took all the blame on himself. This could not be the solution and it would only make things worse.

If Xia Wen could not bear to make a hard decision, then she would have to do it for him. She definitely could not allow the Tan family to continue causing harm to the Xia family.

“Mother, let Eldest Sister-in-law think about how to solve this problem. After all, it’s related to her family. No one knows the Tan family better than Eldest Sister-in-law,” Qiao Mei said.

“Is that all?” Xu Lan asked.

“Yes, that’s right. I guarantee it! There won’t be a next time!” Tan Jing swore.

Even if Tan Jing was willing to make a cursed oath, she would not be able to gain Xu Lan’s trust. However, the thing was that both Xia Mao and Xu Lan also did not know how to handle this matter.
