After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!
1087 You Can Make Your Own Decision
Tan Jing had no status in the Tan family. Even if the Xia family wanted to use Tan Jing as a bargaining chip, it would be useless. They had no way to threaten the Tan family at all.
That was unless… unless Xia Wen and Tan Jing got a divorce. Then there would be no reason for the Tan family to come and look for the Xia family anymore.
However, Xia Wen would never agree to this solution even if he already had a good reason for it. Xia Wen was the Xia family's eldest male in his generation and Tan Jing did not have any children after more than 10 years of marrying into the Xia family. Based on this fact, even if word got out that Xia Wen and Tan Jing had gotten a divorce, no one would not say anything bad about the Xia family.
"I'll pay back all the money borrowed by the Tan family as soon as I can. Father, Mother, please let me know the total amount," Xia Wen said apologetically.
"Xia Wen, this is not the outcome we want. If you're the one who's going to repay this debt, we might as well just leave it. We only want the Tan family to pay it back, no one else. You've already cleaned up the Tan family's mess for so many years. Are you going to clean up the mess again this time? Are you going to continue indulging the Tan family in the future?" Xu Lan said.
Tan Jing's face instantly fell. Although she sometimes also felt that her parents and brothers go overboard with their requests, what did it matter if they asked for help from her in-laws? Why did they have to be so calculative?
Xia Mao coughed lightly twice and stood up. "We won't help the Tan family settle any more debts in the future. We have already informed everyone out there about this. The Tan family's creditors will probably go knocking on their door very soon. We won't talk about these few sums of money or whatever happened in the past anymore. As for the matter about the child, Xia Wen, you should deal with it yourself."
"I understand, Father. I'll think about it carefully," Xia Wen said respectfully.
Tan Jing panicked. They already owed the Xia family nearly 1,000 dollars by now. The Tan family probably still owed more debts amounting to a similar amount. If the Xia family was unwilling to help anymore, the creditors would come looking for her! She had experienced such a thing before and did not want it to happen again.
"Father! This won't do! My parents don't have the ability to repay the debts. In that case, these people will come and look for me! Father! Save me! Xia Wen and I are husband and wife! You can't just leave Xia Wen in the lurch! Please treat it as you're saving Xia Wen!" Tan Jing knelt on the ground and said as she looked at Xia Mao.
Xu Lan was so angry that she wanted to flip the table. She was never calculative with the Tan family because of the fact that Xia Wen and Tan Jing were husband and wife and they were bound together for good or ill. The Xia family did not want Xia Wen to suffer too much, so they repeatedly helped the Tan family and cleaned up their mess. However, this was not a reason for the Tan family to hold them ransom!
"You don't have the ability to restrain your parents so you use my son to threaten us. You're such a good daughter-in-law of the Xia family!" Xu Lan said angrily.
"I'm not! I really have no choice! If the creditors go to my family, they will definitely ask the creditors to come and look for me! But we also don't have much money left!" Tan Jing said aggrievedly.
Xu Lan could not take it anymore. She smacked the table angrily and pointed at Tan Jing as she said, "Then is my son a sucker! Does our Xia family owe you anything! Your family is the one who does all these things and it's also your family's debts! But now you want us to repay the debts for you! Dream on! We don't have a daughter-in-law like you!"
"Mother!" Xia Wen said sternly.
If he allowed Xu Lan to continue, she might say something overboard.
"You can make your own decision on this matter. Come and talk to me after you've decided," Xia Mao said.
Xia Mao was feeling tired after this long session. He grabbed hold of Xu Lan to go back to the backyard to chat with his siblings. There was no question that Xia Wen would pay Qiao Mei back for the share that she borne. They could not let every member of the family clean up the mess for the Tan family.
"Father and Mother have gone out and it'll be noon soon. Elder sister and I have to go and check if the food is ready." Qiao Mei found a random reason to drag Xia He away. Xia He was actually unwilling to leave and wanted to stay in the study to see what happened next.
Even after the door to the study was closed, Xia He still looked back repeatedly with reluctance. Qiao Mei quickly pulled Xia He towards the main hall. If they continued to stay there, Xia He and Tan Jing would probably get into a fight.
"Why did you leave so quickly! I still want to see what's happening!" Xia He said aggrievedly.
"Do you think Eldest Brother doesn't have enough on his plate? He already has to worry about so many things. If you continue to sit there, then how can he have a good talk with our sister-in-law?" Qiao Mei said disdainfully.
