章節 234: Drawing a Map

After returning home, Qiao Mei was so tired that she sat on the sofa and did not want to move.

After keeping her keys, Xia Fang said to Qiao Mei, "Mei Mei, there is an art to getting along with the neighbors. You don't have to treat them well just because they have helped you. They really only just want to watch the fun. Besides, the neighbors only spoke up for you because Qian'e and her mother had offended them previously."

"If you give them attention and agree to whatever they say now, then they will think that you're easy to bully and come asking you for other things next time. Just remember their kindness and stand up for them when they need your help next time," Xia Fang said as she sat down beside Qiao Mei.

"If you help them with everything now, they will feel like they are allowed to give you unsolicited advice on your family matters in the future," Xia Fang exhorted Qiao Mei earnestly.
