"Manager Xu, Madam Xu." Xia Chunmei glanced at Madam Xu's face. Hmm, she's survived the ordeal.
"Miss Xia, you are truly amazing." This was the first time Xu Qingfeng had used such a respectful title after meeting her several times.
"Thanks to your reminder, my wife and daughter did not go to Baoqing, otherwise we would definitely be separated by life and death now."
“Miss Xia, you saved Jiamin and my lives. Please don’t hesitate to ask if you need anything in the future. Please accept this small token of our appreciation.”
Madam Xu presented a carved wooden box. Although Xia Chunmei didn't open it, she could guess what was inside. She didn't stand on ceremony and accepted it without hesitation.
Xu Jiamin also changed her previous arrogance and contempt: "Miss Xia, I have offended you in the past. Please forgive my petty offenses."
There is a necessary route from Zhaoling to Baoqing, but a fierce battle took place there yesterday afternoon. It is said that the Black Tiger Stronghold was responsible for the battle. More than ten bodyguards and six or seven passing merchants died, and all their valuables were stolen. Blood was everywhere.
If Madam Xu and Xu Jiamin had set off early yesterday morning, they would certainly not have been able to escape this calamity.
The Xu family still feels lingering fear when they think about it now, and they are also certain of Xia Chunmei's abilities.
"And this is..." Manager Xu finally noticed Baili Xiao.
“I am her fiancé, Ning Xiao.”
Remembering what he had said before, Xia Chunmei, as if possessed, did not deny it.
As for why he called himself Ning Xiao, Xia Chunmei guessed that he probably didn't want people to know his true identity.
Xia Ming was astonished when she heard Baili Xiao's self-introduction and stared at Xia Chunmei in surprise!
Manager Xu was also shocked. He knew Xia Chunmei's background and had never heard of her having any other fiancés.
Did you just find her in the last couple of days?
"Young Master Ning, it's a pleasure to meet you." Manager Xu sized up Baili Xiao, secretly shocked: This man has a powerful aura and is definitely not an ordinary person!
Madam Xu had always thought that Xia Chunmei and Fan Jiannan had broken off their engagement and were not engaged. She was even thinking of introducing Xia Chunmei to her nephew. She never expected that Xia Chunmei would have a fiancé again, and that he seemed to be quite a different person.
Sure enough, outstanding women are in high demand, and you have to act quickly, or someone else will beat you to it.
Mrs. Xu felt very regretful.
"I'm here today not only to thank Miss Xia, but also on behalf of my master to deliver something to her."
As he spoke, Xu Qingfeng handed the land deed to Xia Chunmei. "This is the land deed for the estate. It's outside the city. The people you asked for have already been arranged to go there. You don't need to bring anything, just the people. The estate covers about six acres. Don't think it's too small."
"Not at all, not at all."
One mu is about 600 square meters. Six 600s, how much is that? More than 3,000 square meters! A Chinese-style manor of more than 3,000 square meters where you can farm and raise fish, who would complain?
"There is also a small shop with a small courtyard behind it, so the girl will have a place to stay when she goes to the city to hold a banquet. The girl can rent out the shop in front or start her own business."
This was an unexpected windfall; Xia Chunmei hadn't expected Jin Yuntian to be so good at handling things.
"Can we stay there tonight? There's a birthday banquet tomorrow, and I just got an order to make longevity peach buns."
"Sure, the furniture there is all complete, and all the daily necessities, including bedding, have been replaced with new ones. Why don't you go there now, young lady? If you're missing anything, we can get it for you."
Having a place to stay means I can save money on accommodation in the future, and I can stay more comfortably and safely.
Without hesitation, Xia Chunmei immediately called Qiu Mei, Xia Ping, and Grandma Ming to head to the county town.
She did not deny Baili Xiao's claim that he was Xia Chunmei's fiancé.
Baili Xiao felt he had a great opportunity and should go with them now.
Baili Xiao was glad that he had come by carriage, so that he could ride in the same carriage as Xia Chunmei.
Baili Xiao became the coachman, and Xia Chunmei, Xia Mingshi, and the others sat in the carriage.
Xia Ming asked in a low voice, "Chunmei, when did you get engaged? How come I didn't know?"
Xia Ping was also extremely curious: "Yes, Master, how come I've never heard of this?"
Xia Chunmei was actually somewhat conflicted.
In fact, the fact that she didn't deny it just now meant that she had tacitly accepted Baili Xiao's proposal and publicly acknowledged her fiancé.
It's not easy to deny it now.
"What does Grandma think of him?" Xia Chunmei asked.
"He looks quite a bit older than you."
"Yes, he's a full nine years older."
Xia Ping remarked, "You've gotten so old."
Good old Baili Xiao: "..."
Hearing this, Xia Ming pinched her granddaughter: "What nonsense are you talking about? It doesn't matter if a man is a little older. The main thing is whether he is caring, practical, and easy to get along with. Does he have any troublesome sisters-in-law in his family?"
So many women in the village marry men their own age, but few are truly happy. If a man works hard, earns money, and knows how to cherish his wife, age isn't a problem.
Xia Ping lowered her voice and whispered, "But I think he looks really fierce, like he's about to beat someone up. Will he beat his wife in the future? Master, with your small frame, can you take a beating?"
Xia Chunmei chuckled: "If my future husband beats me, will you help me?"
"Of course! We're all your family." Xia Ping answered decisively. "But if it's someone like him, I definitely can't beat him. We can just put a sack over his head at night, hehe."
Before he even got married, someone was already planning to put a sack over his head.
Baili Xiao, who was driving outside, was speechless.
Xia Ming wanted to ask a few more questions, but Baili Xiao was outside, so she temporarily suppressed her doubts.
