“Alright! We have a deal!” the three children said in unison.

Although Qiao Mei was not usually strict with the children, she paid special attention to their diet. Medical technology was still not advanced enough in this era. If the children had bad teeth, there was a high chance that they would have to endure the pain and rely on medicine. They would not be able to get dental treatment and implants like what she could get in her other life.

To ensure that the children had strong teeth, Qiao Mei had restricted them from eating candy since they were young. They could only eat chocolate and candy if they behaved well or during the festive seasons. After eating these sweet things, they had to brush their teeth and rinse their mouths.

Therefore, candy was precious “treasures” to the three children! It was like rare “assets”!

Xu Lan took advantage of the time when Qiao Mei was educating the children to pull Xia Zhe into the study. She whispered, “Have you done what I told you the last time!”

“Mother! Don’t we already have three children? It’s useless to be anxious about such a thing,” Xia Zhe said helplessly.

Xia Wen had received reliable news that the family planning policy would be implemented next year. For families with children, it did not matter how many children they already had. For those without children, they could only have one child per family. People were expected to consolidate their resources to bring up their children very well and no longer be allowed to have an unlimited number of children!

“It’s not as if our family can’t afford it! It will be great for you to have another daughter! Do it while the two of you are still young and I still have the strength to take care of children! Hurry up and have another one! Once the family planning policy is implemented, the two of you won’t be able to have any more children!” Xu Lan said anxiously.

“Qiao Mei has given birth in two consecutive years and her health has definitely suffered because of it. I think having three children is enough. As for whether we can have more children in the future, let’s leave it to fate. If fate allows it, the child will come,” Xia Zhe said.

“Fine, fine, fine. I won’t rush you anymore! I’ll go and nag your brother and your sister!” Xu Lan said.

“Mother, don’t be so anxious. Eldest Sister-in-law has already given birth to a son and my elder sister is currently pregnant. We are all doing well, isn’t that good enough? It’s time for you to relax,” Xia Zhe advised.

Xu Lan was not really anxious about this. She was just worried that the family would have very few descendants. Her children had many cousins, but they were all not having enough children. If not for the fact that Xia Wen had been held back by Tan Jing for more than 10 years! If not for the fact that Xia He had suffered at the hands of the Kong family! She might even have a great-grandson now!

“Bad news! Bad news! Is there anyone at home! Boss Li was beaten up!” a woman shouted loudly outside the courtyard door.

Feng Hua brought the three children back into the house while the rest went to the courtyard door. Qiao Mei frowned and asked, “Aren’t you the new waitstaff? Where is my mother now?”

“Boss Li is in the hospital!” the waitstaff said while panting. She had raced over on her bicycle just now, not wanting to waste even a second.

Qiao Mei immediately drove to the hospital with Xia Zhe and the waitstaff. Xu Lan stayed at home to take care of things. Along the way, the waitstaff recounted what had happened in the restaurant.

“Boss Li was at the restaurant, trying out the new dishes. Since we are about to open for business, she has been very busy recently. I don’t know when exactly Boss Li’s family members came over. They said that they wanted to help but they caused a mess in the restaurant. Boss Li was very angry and reprimanded them. Then Boss Li’s mother became angry and she started crying and kicking up a fuss in the restaurant,” the waitstaff said.

“What happened after that? Who hit my mother?” Qiao Mei asked with a frown.

“I  Actually, I can’t say for sure. At that time, Boss Li’s ex-husband also came. It was that man who fought with Boss Li’s family members. Boss Li was injured when she tried to stop the fight. It is probably that man who injured Boss Li,” the waitstaff said honestly.

“Have you called the police?” Qiao Mei asked.

“Yes. I called the police right after the incident. I immediately sent Boss Li to the hospital, but they needed her family member to be around. I’m worried that Boss Li’s family will cause trouble and prevent her from getting treatment, so I quickly come over to look for you,” the waitstaff said agitatedly.

Qiao Mei nodded in satisfaction and said, “You did very well. What’s your name?”

“My name is Molly,” Molly whispered.

“I’ll remember it. Thank you for what you have done today,” Qiao Mei said gratefully.

“Boss Li is very nice to us. This is what I should do,” Molly said.

Qiao Mei only smiled and did not say anything. She would remember Molly and would definitely thank her properly when the matter was over. The most important thing now was Li Gui’s health.
