Chapter 1853: Prepare Gifts

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Needlework and embroidery were very difficult to keep well and also not really considered a mainstream product on the market. There were very few collectors who would be willing to part with items in their collections.

Qiao Mei thought about this issue for a long time and finally decided to make something herself. She would personally embroider a wedding dress for MO Zhu. It would be even more luxurious than the wedding dress she embroidered for Xia He back then. She would only use gold and silver threads, the kind which cost 50 dollars per meter and supply was very scarce. Qiao Mei had to rally many friends to help before she managed to buy 10 small spools of thread from all over the country.

During the entire summer vacation, Qiao Mei locked herself up in the study and worked on this major project quietly. No one knew what Qiao Mei was doing and they all thought that she was studying.

When the summer vacation was almost over, Qiao Mei called up all the family members and asked them to come to the courtyard house. She told them she had something to discuss with them. Xia Jun, Xu Lan and Xia Mao came by. Xia Wen also rushed to Qiao Mei’s house after work. After the family had a nice dinner together, Qiao Mei asked everyone to sit down in the living room and told them she would be back soon.

Everyone waited while feeling at a loss. No one knew what Qiao Mei was doing. The kids had been doing well recently. Xia Fan and Xia Xing could already walk and could even run a few steps sometimes. They were in good health. Xia Yue also ate and slept well, just like Xia Fan when he was younger. Why did she feel the need to call for a family meeting?

“Xia He, did you cause trouble again?” Xu Lan asked as she looked at Xia He.

“Mother! Come on. I haven’t done anything willful ever since I started the business. I’ve been well-behaved this entire period. It definitely has nothing to do with me!” Xia He retorted agitatedly.

“Then what exactly is the matter?” Xu Lan asked curiously.

By now, Qiao Mei had asked Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang to carry in two boxes and place them in the middle of the room. Qiao Mei stood at the side and said, “l know that Eldest Brother, Mother and Father have been overwrought over the MO family’s issue recently. This is a gift I have prepared for them. Let’s go together and send it to them tomorrow.”

“Mei Mei, it’s so nice of you to have gone to this trouble, but you don’t know the amount of things we’ve sent over during this period of time. They don’t want to accept anything and they don’t even want to see us. I’m afraid they won’t accept these things either,” Xu Lan said with a sigh.

“They will definitely accept these things.” Qiao Mei opened the box slowly.

Under the light, the wedding dress inside sparkled brightly. The phoenix sewed on it was so lifelike that it looked as if it was going to come to life anytime.

“Oh my goodness… This wedding dress is too beautiful… One look and I can tell that it’s embroidered by Qiao Mei. You’ve been busy embroidering the wedding dress all this while!” Xia He said in surprise.

“In a sense. I heard that Auntie Liu likes embroidery a lot, so I embroidered a set of wedding clothes for MO Zhu and also for Eldest Brother. It’s just that Eldest Brother’s set is more simple and not as gorgeous,” Qiao Mei said embarra.s.sedly as she looked at Xia Wen.

“It’s alright, I’m fine even if I don’t have any special wedding clothes. You just came out of confinement and yet you have to work so hard. I’m really not a competent brother… I’m so sorry…” Xia Wen said, feeling sorry for her.

“Eldest Brother, don’t say that. We’re a family. When there are any difficulties, we should think of a way to overcome them together. Since MO Zhu is the person you like and she’s willing to marry into our family, we just need to convince her parents. As long as we’re sincere enough, her parents won’t make things difficult for us,” Qiao Mei said.

“That’s right! As long as we persevere, we can even grind an iron rod into a needle! Let’s give it another go!” Xia He said excitedly.

“That’s right, Eldest Brother. Let’s go to the MO family’s house together tomorrow. Let’s try one more time,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

“Alright, I’ll take your advice. Let’s go together,” Xia Wen said.

“Let’s all go to bed early today and head to the MO family’s house together tomorrow. It’s settled then. Xia Mao, give the MO family a call and let them know,” Xia Jun said.

“Grandfather, you should stay at home. The weather is so hot. What if you get a heatstroke?” Xia He said worriedly.

“I’m fine! Since we agree that we’re going as a family, we have to go together! How can I be left out! It’s settled! Everyone, go back and rest now. We’ll set off early tomorrow morning!” Xia Jun said.

Everyone went home to choose their clothes and get the gifts ready for the visit to the MO family. The next morning, they arrived at the foot of the mountain in a big group. They did not drive the car up and chose to make the journey on foot instead..
