After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!
Chapter 1654 We Do Not AgreeChapter 1654 We Do Not Agree
The mother-and-daughter duo both knew very well in their hearts whether this was a matter of thinking too much. Why would a prominent family like the Xia family invite them for no reason? Furthermore, the invite was only sent to their family.
Mo Zhu had always been a child who knew her place. Her parents usually respected her opinions, but they were still the ones who made the decisions on key matters. This time round, she had actually forced her father, Mo Chou, to mobilize everyone he knew to help look for the Xia family's in-law.
Although the Mo family was not involved in the political, business and military fields, it did not discount the fact that they had taught many people who were in these fields. The Mo family's students could be found in all kinds of industries.
If the Xia family was just hosting a dinner to express their gratitude to the Mo family, they need not have made it such a grand event.

Mo Zhu said nervously, "No, no! How can you be like this! Aren't you forcing him to make a choice then! We haven't reached that stage yet!"
Xia Wen and Mo Zhu were usually busy with work. Coupled with the fact that the two of them often went on separate business trips, their main form of communication was through writing letters to each other. Xia Wen would tell her a lot of interesting things that happened to him recently and she would also tell Xia Wen everything she had seen on her trips. The two of them already had an unspoken mutual understanding long ago.
"You still say that you don't feel that way for him! Don't worry, I'm not a vicious wolf and I won't eat him up. I just want to know if he's someone who is reliable. If there's any issue with his moral standards, then your father and I will not agree to it, no matter what. Even if the Xia family puts a knife to our throats, we won't agree!" Liu Shu said.
Mo Zhu leaned against Liu Shu's arms and said, "I just know that Mother is nicest to me~"
Xia Wen returned home on time after work. He had bought a lot of tonics and gifts to give to the Mo family tomorrow and also bought a lot of snacks that Mo Zhu liked to eat.
"Eldest Brother~ Something's wrong with you~ Who was the one who told me that you have no feelings for Mo Zhu! If you don't have any feelings at all, then how do you know what Mo Zhu likes to eat?" Xia He said as she looked at Xia Wen excitedly.
Xia Wen coughed out of embarrassment and said, "Cough, cough… These are just some random purchases! Don't you see that there are things you like to eat among these? Why are you so excitable! Go and help Mother clear the dishes. Don't sit here and stare at me!"
"Xia Zhe is already helping Mother! Xia Zhe is the one who cooks at home nowadays. While he's still at home, you should ask him to teach you how to make a few dishes so that you can make Mo Zhu happy in the future!" Xia He said.
"I already know how to cook. Otherwise, what do you think I eat every day! Dewdrops from the sky! I'm not an immortal! Why don't you just admit that you're the only one who doesn't know how to cook? Look at Qiao Mei, then look at Mo Zhu! They both know how to cook, but you don't know anything! Learning to cook is not to benefit other people, it's so that you can still survive when times are tough!" Xia Wen said disdainfully.

Can it be that you've been thinking about her for a long time? You said before that you don't like her!" Xia He roared.
"Madam~ Please stop hassling me! Just go and do something else! Sister Wan Wen is preparing the crockery and cutlery and menu for tomorrow! Aren't you going over to help her!" Xia Wen said as he pointed at the storeroom.
Xia He curled her lips in disdain and walked away. Xia Wen sighed. He did not know how Deng Fan could tolerate Xia He. How could he stand such a "crazy woman"!
After the family hurriedly finished their meal, they started to tidy up the house. They even made sure that all the corners were clear of dust. They were so meticulous that the angle at which the items were displayed had to be precise.
Qiao Mei was in charge of choosing the clothes and accessories for the family, as well as the crockery to use tomorrow. She was the one with the best aesthetics standards in the family and was the most suitable person for this job!
Xia Zhe and Xia Wen were assigned the manual work. They were in charge of sweeping and mopping the floor, changing and washing the bedsheets and rearranging the furniture in the various rooms, among other duties.
Xia He and Wan Wen stayed in the kitchen to finalize the menu, ingredients and count the utensils for tomorrow. These chores were left to the two of them.
