Zhou Mei's nonchalant voice came from the other end of the phone: "Lu Siqin, I told you a long time ago that your family members will only drag you down and turn you into a brother-supporting demon. Look, now something has happened to them."
Lu Siqi didn't dare to retort when hearing Zhou Mei's ridicule. She could only suppress her anger and continue to speak in a gentle voice: "Xiao Mei, listen to me, there is really another hidden story behind this matter."
Zhou Mei, who was twirling her hair out of boredom on the other end of the line, replied, "What could be the hidden secret? Isn't it your brother who came to your house and wanted to chop someone with a knife?"
Lu Siqi explained anxiously: "My brother didn't hurt anyone at all, and the person he had an argument with was actually my sister!"
"My sister was accidentally taken away by mistake when she was young, and was found after she was born. When she was a child, my parents kindly came to visit her, but she spoke rudely to my parents and even wanted to hit them, so my brother wanted to teach her a lesson on my parents' behalf."
"Not only that, she also injured my brother. My brother had to undergo surgery because of her! Xiaomei, this matter is strictly a family matter. There are conflicts within our family. Why would I be demoted?"
Zhou Mei was a little surprised when she heard this: "Oh? Is there really such a cruel daughter? She can lay hands on her own father?"
Lu Siqi nodded and replied, "It's absolutely true! It's really unfortunate for our family to have such a daughter. She is a jinx. Since we met her, nothing good has happened to our family. These things are all caused by her. My brother is also innocent!"
Lu Siqi then pleaded, "Xiaomei, can you help me think of a solution? If I get demoted, I won't be able to give you a better life. Just think about our future."
Zhou Mei pondered for a while after hearing this, and replied: "Lu Siqi, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. Why don't you try to beg your sister to explain to the investigation team and plead for mercy. Maybe there is still a way to turn things around."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Siqi frowned and thought for a long time. What Zhou Mei said made sense, but with Xia Shige's temper, how could he get her to agree?

In the evening, Xia Shige took a box of vegetables and went out.
After that, Officer Zhou Hong sent people to deliver vegetables, snacks, fresh meat, eggs and milk to Grandma Liu several times.
There are only six people in the Xia family. Grandma Liu and my grandmother are over sixty years old and have small appetites. They can't finish so much food, and the refrigerator at home can hardly hold it all.
At the entrance of Jingjing Supermarket, shopkeepers were queuing up to receive sand rattan cakes. There were also many people in the square holding tools, catching sand rattan worms in the evening when the temperature was low.
Xia Shige came to the emergency office carrying a box. Only the property manager Xiao He was on duty in the emergency office.
Xia Shige greeted him with a smile, "Xiao He, I heard that you got married this year, congratulations!"
A few days ago, Xia Huiyin and Xia Guocheng brought back some wedding candies that Xiao He had given them. Although the quantity was not much, it was already very rare during this period of natural disasters.
"Thank you, Miss Xia." Xiao He scratched his head a little embarrassedly. He used to be an ordinary salesman in the sales department with low salary and it was not easy to find a partner.
After the natural disaster, he became a member of the emergency office as a property clerk in the Yidu community. He could receive a national subsidy every month. Although the money was not much, it was a stable job after all.
When his aunts and uncles found out, they all introduced him to potential partners. His relatives also urged him to get married, so when Xiao He was 18, he got married with a girl introduced by a relative.
Xia Shige smiled and handed the box to Xiao He: "I accepted your wedding candy a few days ago, but I didn't give you any gifts when you got married. Take these vegetables home and eat them with your wife."
Xiao He felt a little embarrassed when he saw this, and quickly refused, "It's just a few wedding candies. These vegetables are too expensive. I can't accept them."
Xia Shige smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, this is also a gift from someone else. My family can't finish it, so just accept it."
Upon hearing this, Xiao He quickly thanked Xia Shige happily: "Thank you, Miss Xia."
The two chatted for a while, and Xia Shige got to the point: "Xiao He, I want to buy two houses, preferably opposite each other or on the upper and lower floors, on the 10th floor or above, with complete decoration and facilities. Can you help me see if there are any suitable houses currently on sale?"
Xiao He was stunned when he heard this. Buy a house? Are you sure? Who would buy a house at this age?
