Xiang Chen took Qiao Mei’s advice and went back to tell Xia Fang that he was going back to school and that he would study hard. Xia Fang and Xiang Jin were so excited that they almost set off firecrackers to celebrate. When they heard that it was Qiao Mei who persuaded Xiang Chen to “turn over a new leaf”, they almost wanted to put Qiao Mei on a pedestal and worship her.

“Mei Mei, you’re simply our family’s lucky star! I’ve been so worried for the past two days that my voice has gone hoarse and my body is getting heaty. He has finally gone back to school. Otherwise, your uncle-in-law and I don’t know what to do with him,” Xia Fang said excitedly on the phone,

“Xiang Chen is still young and has all kinds of ideas. It’s quite normal that he can’t think as far ahead as both of you. He’s very obedient and has already promised me that he will go back to school. Aunt, you don’t have to worry anymore,” Qiao Mei said.

“How did you persuade him to go back to school? We tried all kinds of methods but nothing worked. How did you do it?” Xia Fang asked curiously.

“I simply told him that if he still has the interest to go into business next year, I will sponsor him partially and let him do whatever he wants. The prerequisite is that he has to study hard, so he naturally agrees to it,” Qiao Mei answered honestly.

Xia Fang and Xiang Jin did not want Xiang Chen to go into business. However, in order to let Xiang Chen go back to school, Qiao Mei’s method could be considered a “roundabout method of winning the war”.

“When you have time, come over to my house. I’ll cook delicious food for you! I’ll bring you out to have a good time!” Xia Fang said.

“Sure! Aunt, don’t restrict Xiang Chen too much. If there’s something he wants to do, just let him try. As long as he doesn’t break the law or commit any crimes, we shouldn’t interfere too much in his life,” Qiao Mei advised.

“Alright, I’ll think about what you say. Xiang Chen is not cut out to study medicine or become a soldier. Your uncle-in-law and I have already come to terms with this fact,” Xia Fang said with a sigh.

In the next two days, there was a lot of good news. Xia He had made a lot of money, more than 100,000 dollars in just three days! Qiao Mei was surprised when she heard the figure. Xia He and Xia Wen were so excited that they could not sleep the entire night and just sat at home counting the money!

Xia Wen immediately asked Qiao Mei to see if there was any nice house near her siheyuan courtyard house and told her that he wanted to buy one. Qiao Mei simply sold the “corn courtyard house” to Xia Wen at a low price. Xia Wen and Xia He even pooled their money to buy a siheyuan courtyard house for Xia Mao and Xu Lan. It would be easier for the whole family to get together if they all lived in the same alley.

It was just that Deng Fan would have his hands full keeping an eye on the renovation of all the houses and do his best to let everyone move in before summer starts.

Qiao Mei packed up some necessities from the courtyard house and moved them to the house opposite the university. She planned to stay there for the time being so that it would be easier for her to go to and from school every day.

All the professors had a whole new level of respect for Qiao Mei. They all hoped that Qiao Mei would become their student and help them with research later. Qiao Mei’s classroom was the most popular place on campus. This was the first time everyone had seen professors taking the initiative to come and look for a student!

“Qiao Mei, have you thought about which professor you want to do research with?” Chen Pian asked.

“l haven’t made any plans yet and I don’t want to think about the matter of research for the time being. There’s still time to think about it in my second year. My current health condition is still the most important thing for me now,” Qiao Mei said.

Qiao Mei was quite sure that she was about to give birth within the next few days. Xia He had helped her apply for two months of absence from school and she intended to stay at home for the next few days to prepare for the delivery.

Xu Lan and the rest had all moved to the courtyard house for the time being. When Xu Lan saw Qiao Mei’s stomach, she was even more anxious than Qiao Mei! Everyone was looking forward to the arrival of the new baby.

“Why don’t we go and stay in the VIP ward for a few days? Hasn’t Aunt made arrangements for you already?” Xia He asked.

“It’s better not to be too ostentatious. I don’t even know when I’ll give birth. It’s alright to go only when it’s almost time,” Qiao Mei said.

“No! I’m worried. Let’s go to the hospital. Mei Mei, listen to me.” Xu Lan asked Feng Hua to pack all the necessary things and the entire family arrived at the hospital with many bags. The hospital did not allow too many visiting family members and only one family member was allowed to stay with the patient. Xia He stayed behind to accompany Qiao Mei.

“You’re so busy, how do you have time to accompany me? Shouldn’t you be out earning money?” Qiao Mei asked.

“Idiot! How can earning money be more important than you!” Xia He said disdainfully.

“You can get Sister Xu to come and take care of me while you go to work. It’s the peak season now. If there’s really no other way, you can get my mother to come and take care of me,” Qiao Mei said..
