After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

Chapter 1408 Stay Here Tonight

"Uncle Shao, why will I joke with you? Let's use these to drink!" Xia Wen said firmly.

They were in a different situation from Xia Wen. Xia Wen had the "divine medicine", but they did not. If they really drank liquor using bowls, they would probably end up at the hospital to get their stomachs pumped.

Seeing Shao Tu's hesitation, Xia He said regretfully, "Can it be that Uncle Shao isn't sincere about downing the drinks? Then forget it, we won't force you."

"No, no! That's not what I mean!" Shao Tu said in a panic.

"Then that means Uncle Shao has agreed to my suggestion. Come, let's drink!" Xia Wen said agitatedly.

Shao Tu's hands gripped the table tightly. Their plan had already been put in motion and had reached this stage, so there was no turning back now. He took a deep breath and picked up a bowl from the table with trembling hands. He closed his eyes and took a big gulp.

He almost spat out the liquor in his mouth, but Xia Wen did not even look at him and just continued eating the side dishes. Xia Wen did not care whether he drank the three bowls of liquor or spat everything out. He was doing this to send the Shao family a message.

The Xia family was not one whom they could bully at will.

After Shao Tu finished drinking, he ran to the toilet to throw up. Shao Xian looked at Xia Wen in fear. Given that Shao Tu was gone, he was next…

"Brother Shao! Let's continue drinking! All of you should stay here for dinner tonight. It's rare for everyone to feel so happy! We must get hammered!" Xia Wen said happily.

Qiao Mei glanced at Xia Wen and immediately understood what he meant. She quickly echoed, "That's right, there are still many spare rooms in the backyard! All of you should stay for dinner. Eat and drink as much as you want! We will have even nicer dishes tonight!"

"In that case, your wish is my command. Brother Xia, please accept a toast from me!" Shao Xian did not forget the most important thing they needed to do today. He raised the liquor glass which they had prepared in advance and handed it to Xia Wen.

Xia Wen had only used the bowls to scare Shao Tu. Since the Shao family wanted him to fall into their trap, he might as well beat them at their own game. Xia Wen took it and smelled it discreetly before drinking everything in one go. Shao Xian was relieved to see Xia Wen downing the entire glass.

While the men were drinking enthusiastically, Qiao Mei and Xia He did not stay idle. They chatted with the women from the Shao family and tried to get more information from them. However, Bian Duo was very guarded and they could not get her to reveal anything no matter how hard they tried.

"Have a chat first. I'll go get you some seeds and popcorn, as well as fruits that we grow ourselves!" Qiao Mei said warmly.

"No need! There's no need to go through so much trouble! We can just drink water!" Bian Duo said quickly.

"Auntie, we make all those ourselves. They're all very clean! They definitely taste different from the ones you buy outside! You can eat without any worries! I'll be back soon!" Qiao Mei quickly ran to the kitchen to slice up all kinds of fruits. She even prepared two plates of smashed cucumber salad and shelled peanuts for Xia Wen and the other men to eat while they drank.

Since Qiao Mei had said that, it was not good for the Shao family members to reject her. Bian Duo and the others kept a close eye on the movements at Shao Tu's end, worried that the men would forget about what they were supposed to do after drinking too much. They did not think any of the women would be able to carry Xia Wen to the backyard. Fortunately, Shao Zhuang was also sitting at that table, so there should not be too much of a problem.

"We should also drink some. I've long heard that all of you are very good drinkers. Let's have a good drinking session today!" Xia He said with a smile.

"No, no, no. I'm old and useless! Our current capacity for alcohol is incomparable to when we were young. My health is not good and I can't drink anymore," Bian Duo said as she repeatedly declined. Her current behavior was totally different from how she behaved earlier in the morning.

There must be one or two sober people among the Shao family members who came today. Otherwise, who would go and catch the couple in the act later?

Xia He naturally understood the reason behind this and did not force them to do anything. After all, the Xia family also needed someone from the Shao family to be their corroborative witness so that their plan could proceed smoothly.

Qiao Mei deliberated for a moment before saying to Bian Duo, "Auntie, I'll go and see if my grandfather has eaten anything. He's not in good health and I need to make sure that he takes his medicine."

"Please go ahead! The elderly's health is more important!" Bian Duo said.

Before she left, Qiao Mei gave Xia He a meaningful look. Xia He lowered her head slightly to indicate that she understood and Qiao Mei went to the backyard without any worry.

After all, the backyard part of the house belonged to Qiao Qiang. Given that something so disgusting was happening here, Qiao Mei wanted to inform Qiao Qiang in advance so that he would not get a shock later.

"Grandfather, are you there? Can I come in?" Qiao Mei asked as she stood outside and knocked on the room door.

"Yes, come in!" Qiao Qiang's voice came from inside the room. When she opened the door, she could hear the radio playing.
