If these women came to think that Qiao Mei was an easy person to talk to, they would only make use of her kindness next time. If that happened, they would not listen to Qiao Mei’s instructions in the future.
Qiao Mei was about to carry the children’s things upstairs and do some cleaning up when Xia He and the three helpers surrounded her and snatched all the things from her hands.
“Just help us keep an eye on the three children and make sure they don’t run around. Leave these things to me. You didn’t sleep well on the plane. I’ll clean up the rooms for you and the children first so that you can rest early,” Xia He said excitedly.
“l rested for a while on the plane so I’m not that tired. You’re the one who didn’t sleep at all. Aren’t you tired?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.
Xia He muttered softly to Qiao Mei, “I’m still very excited now! This is Country M! We’re now overseas! Whenever I think about it, I feel so happy that I can’t sleep at all! Just let me go and clean up. I have to use up all my energy so that I can sleep better at night.”
“Alright, but you must take care. Don’t tire yourself out,” Qiao Mei said helplessly.
Everyone started to get busy. Luo Yu and Luo Hui took one of the rooms downstairs. Qiao Mei’s room was on the east side of the second floor. That room was bright and big. The children took the room next to Qiao Mei t s.
After a simple cleanup, everyone went to bed. It was not until the next afternoon that Qiao Mei managed to wake up. Auntie Wang and the others had already cleaned all the rooms and unpacked all the luggage. They did not want to disturb Qiao Mei while she was resting, so they put her things together at one side and waited for her to wake up before cleaning and unpacking for her.
Luo Yu and Luo Hui asked Xia He to stay at home and take care of Qiao Mei and the children for a while. The two of them walked around the area to check if there were any safety hazards or if there were any suspicious people around. They were allowed to carry guns here, but they did not have enough money at the moment. Butler Xu took out his precious gun and handed it to Luo Yu. He was willing to lend it to Qiao Mei for a while.
By now, the other exchange students had gone to the designated location to learn more about the local language and local culture. This was an arrangement made by the school and the lessons would last for a month. They would only receive the admission notice from the various schools after a month.
Qiao Mei scored full marks for both the oral and written examinations, so she was exempted from this training session. This also made things a lot easier for her. She could use the time to think about how to earn money here.
There was a very big shopping mall nearby that sold necessities as well as groceries. Qiao Mei and Xia He brought Auntie Cui and Luo Hui to do some shopping at the mall. Their main purpose was to buy necessities for the children and food for everyone. After shopping for an entire afternoon, they spent almost all the money they brought out with them.
In Qiao Mei!s room, Xia He held up the remaining 5,000 dollars and was on the brink of tears. She did not expect the prices here to be much higher than what she was used to in the capital. Then again, the average salary here was about 600 dollars a month while it was only about 80 dollars in the capital. It made sense that there was such a huge difference.
“What should we do? If we continue to spend money like this, we won’t be able to last for a month! Eldest Brother can’t possibly send us so much foreign currency at once. We still have to think of a way ourselves,” Xia He said aggrievedly.
“Let’s take our time to think of a way. Don’t be anxious. Don’t you believe in my ability to make money?” Qiao Mei asked with a smile.
With Qiao Mei around, Xia He definitely felt a lot more settled, but that still did not remove the anxiety in her heart. This was her first time overseas and she was also facing communication issues. Their expenses were also increasing exponentially. On the surface, she looked fine, but in reality, she was feeling extremely anxious.
Back home, she had a job that she was good at. The Xia family also had a certain amount of influence in the capital and Xia Wen helped out with all the issues at home. After she married Deng Fan, she did not have to worry about anything anymore.
This trip had a huge impact on her and was also a wakeup call. It made her realize that she could not live in her ivory tower forever.
“Look at the ulcers at the corners of my mouth. I originally thought that I would be able to come here to enjoy after earning so much money. I didn’t expect there to be so many troublesome matters and problems as soon as we landed. I wish Eldest Brother had come with us so that we have someone to help think of solutions whenever there are any issues,” Xia He said..
