After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!



"Mother, what are you doing? Are you fleeing a disaster?" Xia He asked in shock. It looked as if Xu Lan had moved her entire house over.

Xu Lan excitedly instructed Luo Yu and the others to move all the things out from the cars and sort them out by types in the courtyard. In order to store the frozen seafood and meat, Xu Lan had even brought the refrigerator with her.

"I'm here to sort out all the things we need for the new year," Xu Lan said with a smile.

"Huh?" Qiao Mei and Xia He looked at Xu Lan in confusion. They did not know what she meant and what they were doing for the new year.

Qiao Mei brought Xu Lan to the main hall. She took out the best tea leaves and made tea for Xu Lan. As she prepared the tea, she asked, "Mother, are those things in the courtyard meant for my mum and the rest of them?"

"Well… yes and no. It's indeed my fault for not letting you know in advance. I just think that since Xia Zhe is not at home this year and it's not convenient for you to move about now, it will be good if Xia Wen's family, your father and I come over to celebrate the new year at your place. Do you think it's a good idea?" Xu Lan asked cautiously as she observed Qiao Mei's expression.

This was something that Xu Lan had done on a whim. The idea came to her suddenly when she was doing her new year shopping. It was only when she bought everything and reached Qiao Mei's place that she realized the whole thing might be seen as inappropriate, but it was already too late for her to regret it.

Qiao Mei was not angry at all. Instead, she was very happy. This was exactly what she had in mind!

"There's no problem at all! I'm still thinking about discussing the same thing with you, but I just don't know how to bring up the topic. After all, it's unheard of for a new daughter-in-law to invite her in-laws to her house for the first new year after the marriage," Qiao Mei said apologetically.

"We don't have to care about what other people do, we'll just live our own lives well. Does that mean that you agree?" Xu Lan said excitedly.

"Then… what about Second Uncle and Third Uncle and their families?" Qiao Mei asked.

Xu Lan had not thought about this yet. In the past, everyone would gather at her house. Now that her own family was coming over to Qiao Mei's house for the new year, there would be no one at home to host them.

Xu Lan was so focused on Qiao Mei that she had forgotten about the rest of the family members.

"I… forgot…" Xu Lan said with an awkward smile.

Qiao Mei pursed her lips tightly to hold back her laughter. She did not expect Xu Lan to have such an adorable side. She had originally thought that Xu Lan was as meticulous as Xia Wen.

Xu Lan said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. This is not a difficult issue to resolve. On my way home later, I'll make a trip to your grandfather's place. As long as your grandfather agrees to come over to your place for the new year, Xia Yao and Xia Guang will definitely come over too."

Xia Jun doted on Qiao Mei the most. It was not only because Qiao Mei was sensible and well-behaved, but more importantly, Qiao Mei was also smart and capable. Such a granddaughter-in-law was really hard to come by.

Not only did Qiao Qiang save his life, but Qiao Mei also saved Xia Mao's life. It would not be a problem even if Qiao Mei did not pay him a visit during the new year.

"I never expect to be able to call the shots in this matter," Qiao Mei said with a laugh.

"Of course! Don't worry, they'll definitely come!" Xu Lan said firmly. Given that her daughter-in-law was such a nice person, she really did not expect anyone to say no to this request.

If there was really no other way… she would just put down her pride and ask them for a personal favor. Xia Yao and Xia Guang would at least do it for her sake.

"Thank you for the help, Mother. Once you have news, I'll have to trouble you to send me a message so that I can start to make preparations immediately," Qiao Mei said happily.

Xu Lan was a very efficient person and it ended up as they had expected. Xia Jun agreed to the idea without waiting for Xu Lan to even finish speaking. The Xia family was now waiting for Qiao Mei to continue their lineage! She was pregnant with his first two great-grandchildren, so he did not want her to have to travel around too.

After the matter was decided, there were endless deliveries made to Qiao Mei's house every day. Qiao Mei even ordered a huge custom-made table so that everyone could sit together for the reunion dinner.

In order to store things, she bought another four or five freezers. Fortunately, money was not an issue for Qiao Mei. Otherwise, she might go bankrupt after this meal!

They did not intend to do the cooking that day. Since the dishes they wanted were more troublesome and complicated to prepare, they intended to order food from the state-owned restaurant located at the entrance of the alley. The restaurant staff would deliver everything to the house.

There was also not enough bedding at home and they needed to buy more. In order to store these extra bedding, Qiao Mei also ordered a big custom-made cabinet for the storeroom.
