As soon as Old Man Xia finished speaking, Xia Jianguo's voice rang out from inside the room: "I don't need your acknowledgment! I'll admit it! Cough cough... Xiao Wan is my daughter."

The people inside couldn't see anyone, but they could hear Xia Jianguo talking and the sound of him slapping the bed.

Xia Tao and Xia Wan exchanged a glance, then turned and went back into the house to check on their father.

"Taozi, move me to the yard." Xia Jianguo's eyes were red, clearly he was furious.

Xia Wan quickly took a few steps and caught the person who was about to fall off the bed: "Dad, don't get agitated. I don't care what other people say. They're not that important!"

Xia Wan was afraid that her father would get sick from anger, so she patted his back repeatedly to calm him down. At this moment, she couldn't care less about what the people outside were saying.

Xia Jianguo patted her hand to show that he was fine: "I'm fine, Xiaowan, don't worry, they won't kick you out! Taozi, help me out."

Seeing that his father was adamant, Xia Tao had no choice but to carry him out.

Xia Wan moved the chairs out of the house and placed them in the yard for her father to sit on.

When Xia Jianguo came out, everyone's eyes fell on him, because he hadn't spoken to his family for a long time.

Whenever Xia Tao was not home, Wu Zhaodi was the one who delivered meals to Xia Jianguo; no one else wanted to go into that room unless there was a specific reason!

When Xia Tao was at home, even if he was brought to the yard, he would not speak to his family members.

This time, when it came to his daughter's affairs, he was quite proactive.

"Second brother, don't be confused. We don't even know where this girl came from. Just because she says she's a child of our Xia family, you're going to accept her? Who knows if she's just pretending?" Xia Jianjun was on the same side as his father, and he also wanted to get rid of Xia Wan.

He knew that his family had some savings, but his parents had hidden them away. So, although they wanted the things Xia Wan brought, they couldn't compare to the security of their home.

Xia Jianguo looked at his elder brother and laughed sarcastically, "She came all the way from the city to impersonate my daughter. What does she want? Is Dad getting senile, and even you, elder brother, are getting senile?"

"Xia Jianguo, what did you say? How dare you talk to me like that?"

When Old Man Xia saw Xia Jianguo, he was like a firecracker that had been lit. He stared at him with a gloomy face, not at all like he was looking at his own son, but as if he were looking at an enemy.

Old Mrs. Xia jumped up and down in anger, gritting her teeth and cursing, "You beast, how could you say such a thing about your father!"

The others were also extremely surprised. They didn't know what had happened during this time, and why Xia Jianguo seemed like a completely different person.

Even when he was able to walk properly, he had never talked back to Old Man Xia like this. Xia Jianguo, as the second son, was intelligent but always filial and honest.

Moreover, after he became bedridden, he became much more taciturn and was usually too self-conscious to speak loudly to them. What's wrong with him today?

Of all these people, Xia Wan and Xia Tao are probably the most used to it.

Even though Xia Wan had just returned, it was clear that her father was very different from when they first met a few days ago. Not to mention anything else, his personality had become much more cheerful.

"What? Did I say something wrong? Xiao Wan is my own daughter, your own granddaughter. How can you not even recognize your own child? What else can you be but senile?"

Xia Jianguo's face remained expressionless as he coldly stared at his parents: "You may not acknowledge her, but I will! Xiao Wan is my own daughter!"

Upon hearing this, Old Man Xia's face darkened even further. Pointing at Xia Jianguo, he angrily said, "You think that's all there is to it? I won't let him into our Xia family. I'm not dead yet, and it's not your place to make decisions in this family."

"Then let's split up. Over the years, both Taozi and I have sacrificed enough for this family! What you live in and eat now, wasn't it all earned by Taozi and me? Otherwise, with your meager work points, do you think you could have survived until now?"

Xia Jianguo had been disheartened by these people, and he spoke without any restraint!

His words about dividing the family property caused Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia's expressions to change again. They absolutely could not let Xia Jianguo be separated; he had to remain under their control.

"What family division? We can't divide the family! We won't divide the family while our parents are alive! I'm still alive and well, what right do you have to divide the family?" Old Man Xia grabbed a stick lying next to him and threw it at Xia Jianguo.

Xia Wan blocked the stick directly and threw it at Xia Yuanbao, knocking the chubby boy to the ground!

"Ah! Dad, she hit me again! Kill her! Go kill this good-for-nothing!"

"Xia Wan, what are you trying to do?" Xia Jianjun was furious. "Captain, you saw it yourself! You're still standing here, and he dares to hit Yuanbao! If this continues..."

Xia Wan interrupted him calmly, saying, "I didn't mean to. I just wanted to help my dad, but I never expected that stick to have eyes and hit the little beast directly."

She showed no mercy in her words, her eyes even colder than before. She now quite supported her father's idea of ​​dividing the family property, and it would be best to kick all these people out!

"Alright! Why can't we talk things out instead of resorting to violence? Uncle Xia, don't be so angry. Do you think you can't recognize Jianguo's daughter? She's your child, how could she be left out in the world?"

The captain looked at Old Man Xia with a serious expression, assuming that he was angered by Xia Jianguo's talk of dividing the family property, and did not notice that his expression was different from usual.

Only Old Man Xia and Old Woman Xia knew how panicked they were at that moment. They had only one thought in their minds: they absolutely could not let Xia Jianguo escape their control.

After the captain said this, the onlookers outside chimed in to support him.

"If Xia Zhiqing weren't Jian Guo's daughter, how could she have taken care of him in the hospital for so many days?"

"Of course! Didn't you see how pale Xia Wan's face was when Jianguo went to the hospital that day? If she weren't her own father, who would be that worried!"

"I'm telling you, Old Man Xia, don't stop us. Just take Xia Zhiqing back! Anyway, Taozi gets a salary, and Xia Zhiqing is a good worker. Even if she goes back to the Xia family, you won't have to support her!"

Old Man Xia kept his head down, seemingly lost in thought, paying no attention to what the people outside were saying.

It was only when Old Lady Xia tugged at his sleeve that he snapped out of his daze: "It's impossible to separate the family. Since ancient times, families have never separated while parents are alive! My wife and I are both alive and well, and there's absolutely no way we'd separate the family at this time!"

The captain frowned and advised, "Jianguo's talk about separating the family was just said in anger. You all went too far just now! He just wants to acknowledge his biological daughter, so please don't stop him!"

The captain glanced at Xia Jianguo, signaling him to say something. If they really started a fight about splitting up the family now, then even if they were in the right, they would be in the wrong.
