After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!
Chapter 1449 Giving Clothes as a GiftChapter 1449 Giving Clothes as a Gift
After Xia He reached home after work, she kept staring blankly at her wardrobe. Everyone said that attending a class reunion was no different from going to the battlefield. The main purpose of the gathering was not to greet one another, but to compare among themselves to see who was doing better now.
The Xia family was doing very well in the capital, but Xia He was not doing that well for herself. She was completely reliant on the halo effect of being part of the family.
Coupled with the fact that she had many scandals recently, she must look more beautiful than everyone else at this class reunion! She could not let others look down on her!
Qiao Mei quietly appeared behind Xia He and suddenly patted her on the shoulder. "You've been standing here for a long time with your things all over the room. What exactly are you doing? Are you going to run away during the night?"
"You gave me a fright! You can still stand here and make sarcastic remarks! Hurry up and help me choose! What do you think I should wear tomorrow?" Xia He asked with a frown.

Xia He frowned slightly and looked at the bag. If not for Qiao Mei's reminder, she had already forgotten that Song Dan gave her something in the morning. She had brought it back with the rest of her things when she got off work.
"I won't wear that dress even if I have to die. I'll throw it away later! I get so annoyed when I see it!" Xia He said furiously.
"Why throw it away? Recently, there are a lot of clothes at home that we can't wear anymore. I'm getting Auntie Xu to pack them up so that I can send them to the poorer families. This way, they won't have to spend money on clothes," Qiao Mei said.
"You're giving these people clothes? Aren't you afraid that they won't be thankful but will despise your charity instead?" Xia He asked.
Xia He had seen this kind of thing many times. In the current society, people hated the rich and could not bear to see others doing better than them. If they received things from the richer people, they would think that it was a charitable act that was done out of pity. In the end, they ended up hating those people who were nice to them.
Qiao Mei also knew about these things and Xu Kang had also told her about it, but she still wanted to do it. It was enough if six out of ten families could remember her kindness. Besides, she was going to send the things back to Foshan Village and not to people she didn't know, so there should not be any big problems.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Qiao Mei walked forward and picked up a navy blue dress with an exquisite pattern of lilies embroidered on it.
"You want me to wear this?" Xia He asked as she looked at the dress in Qiao Mei's hand.
"Yes, I think this one looks very nice. It's low-key and luxurious. I have a set of pearl jewelry that matches the lilies. You can wear them with the dress," Qiao Mei said.
Xia He immediately threw herself into Qiao Mei's arms and said, "Qiao Mei~ Why are you so nice! It's my blessing that Xia Zhe married you!"
"What are you talking about? Shouldn't I be Xia Zhe's blessing?" Qiao Mei raised her eyebrows and said with a laugh.

"Stop flattering me! Hurry up and tidy up your things. Don't tell me you want Auntie Xu to clean up your mess!" Qiao Mei said disdainfully.
Although Xu Kang was Qiao Mei's helper, she could not ask Xu Kang to do everything. She could leave the household matters to Xu Kang, but if there was an intentional mess or any mistake that they had made, she could not ask Xu Kang to clean up their mess.
It was already late at night when Qiao Mei finished matching the accessories for Xia He. The next morning, right after Xia He set off happily, Qian'e came to look for Qiao Mei for a discussion.
"Why do you have time to come and look for me?" Qiao Mei asked curiously.
During this period of time, Qian'e had been going around to find resellers for her popcorn. Now that the factory was under construction, Zhao Fei and his team were no longer big enough to fulfill her requirements. She also needed to find some trusted aides. Xia Zhe's help was indispensable when it came to this. Xia Zhe had asked his old comrades who had retired from the army to come to the capital for interviews. It was up to Qian'e to decide if she wanted to hire them.
Qiao Mei was the one who arranged for Xia Zhe to do this.
"I've discovered something strange recently," Qian'e said with a frown.
"Something strange? Tell me about it." Qiao Mei put down the needlework in her hand and looked at Qian'e with a serious look.
