After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! Chapter 2433: Family Meeting
Chapter 2433: Family eting
A family was bound together through both good tis and bad tis. Qiao i needed to think of a foolproof plan. If Liu Fen lost An’an and then ended up crying every day, it would affect her badly.
The next day, Qiao i gathered the entire family at Xia Jun’s house. Xia Jun’s group of old comrade-in-arms had organized a team-building event today, so he was unable to participate in this family eting. Xia Jun left a note for Qiao i, saying that he would let her make all the decisions. He believed that Qiao i would not harm the Xia family.
“The main reason why I called everyone here for a eting today is to discuss the issue of An An’s adoption.” Qiao i did not bother to exchange pleasantries with everyone and simply went straight to the point.
Liu Fen stood up nervously and said, “I… I can’t lose An An. If there’s really no other way, I’ll leave the Xia family with An An! I’ll let An An take my surna!”
“Second Aunt-in-law, what are you saying? You’ll always be our second aunt-in-law. Where can you go if you leave the Xia family?” Qiao i asked.
Xia You looked at Liu Fen with annoyance and said, “Mother! Are you out of your mind! This isn’t one of our Xia family’s children! He’s not a Liu family’s child either! He almost caused Xia Yang’s death! You can bring up anyone’s child, just not this child! Yet now, you actually want to abandon us four siblings for this child! We’re also your children, the ones you brought up with painstaking efforts! Are you out of your mind!”
“Xia You! Talk to Mother nicely,” Lu Huai said gently as he put his arm around Xia You’s shoulder.
“I also want to talk nicely to her but I’ve been enduring it for so many days and I really can’t take it anymore. Mother, you keep saying that you want to adopt An An for Xia Yuan and that you want him to be Xia Yuan’s adopted child, but have you even asked Xia Yuan about how he feels about this?” Xia You asked as she looked at Liu Fen.
Liu Fen looked at Xia Yuan guiltily, as if she wanted to get an affirmative answer from him. Xia Yuan just sat there quietly and did not provide an answer. There had been too many things troubling him recently and he really did not have the strength to explain himself to everyone.
“I… I just want to take care of An An. Why is it so difficult? You’re all grown up now and have your own families, but I’m very lonely. I don’t have anyone to accompany . I want An An to stay and be with . Is that such a bad thing?” Liu Fen said as she cried.
“Then how do you want the child to address us? This child can already be your grandson!” Xia You said.
“I… I originally wanted him to be my grandson…” Liu Fen said sheepishly.
Qiao i watched them arguing non-stop. She felt that even if she let them continue, they would not be able to co up with a good solution. Liu Fen was already advanced in age and such emotional upheavals would affect her health. It would be bad if she fell sick after this eting.
“Let say a few words.” When everyone had quieted down, Qiao i continued, “I know how everyone feels and I also understand your concerns. I have a neutral solution, but I don’t know if everyone wants to hear it.”
“Say it!” Xia You said anxiously.
“I think it’s fine if Second Aunt-in-law wants to bring up An An, but not by giving him to Xia Yuan. Also, An An can’t beco part of the Xia family. My suggestion is for An An’s household register to be tagged to Second Aunt-in-law’s relatives. We’ll give that family a sum of money every month for his living expenses and when An An reaches adulthood, he can move out to stay on his own,” Qiao i said.
“That’s a good idea! On one hand, it will solve the problem of An An’s biological parents eyeing him covetously. On the other hand, it will also fulfill Second Aunt-in-law’s desire to take care of An An. This is like killing two birds with one stone,” Xia Wen said appreciatively.
“I agree too,” Xia You said with satisfaction.
Everyone turned to look at Liu Fen in unison. Liu Fen smiled and nodded. As long as An An could stay by her side, she could agree to anything. Those were just formalities.
She looked at Qiao i gratefully. Not only did Qiao i not take issue with the fact that An An’s parents almost caused Xia Yang’s death, but she even took ti to plan for An An’s future.
“Since everyone agrees, then this matter is settled. Second Aunt-in-law, please settle the matter of An An’s household register as soon as possible. After all, the child has to go to school in the future,” Qiao i said.
“Sure, sure, sure! I’ll get soone to do it now!” Liu Fen said happily.
Everyone thought even more highly of Qiao i by now. They all believed that after Qiao i took over Xia Wen’s position, she would bring the Xia family to greater heights and to beco even more prosperous.
Liu Fen was also very efficient. In two days, she had settled the matter of An An’s household register. She also gave him a new na, Liu Wang.
As ti passed, Qiao i quickly realized she had a new problem. She needed to hire a tutor for her children. The school textbooks were no longer good enough for the children. They were really way too smart.
