nShe did not expect him to have taken this into consideration. These coupons really solved the urgent problem at hand.

n

n“That’s so great!” Qiao Qiang laughed and tapped his walking stick. He was really happy to get these coupons as it meant that he could now buy more supplies, although Chen Hu also gave him a few coupons from time to time.

n

nThe fact was he was unwilling to trouble others. It was never good to owe someone a favor.

n

nNow, with all these food stamps, he could finally feel at ease. He would not have to worry about food in the future.

n

nQiao Mei put away the bag of food stamps and then took out a notebook from the bag. The notebook was not thick, just an ordinary notebook with about 20 to 30 pages.

n

nShe opened it to see pages of clear handwriting.

n

nThere were notes on precautions to be taken by pregnant women throughout the entire pregnancy, and even some clear pointers on the dos and don’ts after giving birth.

n

nThese things were basically similar to what she knew in her other life.

n

nAt the end of the notebook, there was a message to let her know who the author was.

n

n“I am Xia Zhe’s aunt. You rest well and take good care during the pregnancy. If you need anything else, you can send a telegram to this address.”

n

nThis sentence at the end made her aware that this was also Xia Zhe’s gift to her.

n

nThere were no other frivolous words, but from the handwritten and detailed list of items, she could tell that Xia Zhe’s aunt was someone worth knowing.

n

nQiao Mei gave a relieved smile. Now, she just did not know what her future in-laws were like and whether they were easy to get along with.

n

nShe had already sent two letters to bond with him. The next time, she could talk more about the Xia family so that she could feel more confident about her future life.

n

nAt this moment, she was very satisfied with Xia Zhe’s response. The father of her children was really quite a nice person and was someone who could be entrusted.

n

nShe had to think carefully…

n

nNext time, what gift should I send?

n

n…

n

nA distance away, Xia Zhe was sitting at the desk in his room, writing a letter with a fountain pen.

n

nHis handwriting was bold and powerful and very nice to look at.

n

nNow that Qiao Mei was pregnant, this matter could not be kept a secret anymore. He had to inform his family as Qiao Mei would have to go back with him in the future.

n

nHe put pen to paper and wrote a letter to his grandfather.

n

nThe letter explained the entire matter and he asked his grandfather to inform his parents about it.

n

nHe just did not tell the entire truth about what happened that night.

n

nHe did not mention the part about how he was tricked that night. He only wrote that Qiao Qiang was in poor health and was worried about his granddaughter since he did not have much time left in this world. He also wrote that he felt Qiao Mei was quite a nice person.

n

nThat was why Xia Zhe took the initiative to propose that he and Qiao Mei get married to fulfill Qiao Qiang’s wish.

n

nThe two of them had already held a wedding banquet and registered their marriage. He was now writing a letter to inform his elders as Qiao Mei had gotten pregnant.

n

n…

n

nWhen Xia Jun received the letter, he almost spat out the tea in his mouth and he then slammed the teacup on the table.

n

nHe shouted towards the door, “Xiao Zhang! Xiao Zhang, come in quickly.”

n

nXiao Zhang was Xia Jun’s guard. When he heard the voice of his old chief, he walked over frantically, thinking that something urgent had happened.

n

n“Xiao Zhang, quickly take a look at what’s written in this letter. I can’t read it clearly.”

n

n“Yes! I’m coming!”

n

nXiao Zhang stood behind Xia Jun and craned his neck to read it word by word. When he finished reading it, he was stunned and could not speak for a long time.

n

nHow bizarre!

n

nWhat an unexpected thing to have happened.

n

n“Then those few people you asked to come over for dinner, do you still want them to come?” Xiao Zhang hesitated and asked softly.

n

nXia Jun slammed the letter on the table and shouted, “I’m not hosting them anymore. Go call them and say that I’m not feeling well. Tell them I can’t invite them to dinner today, so don’t come over.”

n

n“Oh… okay!”

n

nXiao Zhang nodded repeatedly and hurriedly ran out.

n

nThey had already started making preparations in the kitchen. Xia Zhe’s parents and a girl were actually invited to dinner tonight.
