When they dragged their tired bodies home, they found Wu Zhaodi and Wu Guangli in their father's room as soon as they entered.
The atmosphere inside the room was somewhat heavy, but fortunately, both sides were relatively calm. However, Wu Guangli's gloomy face, which looked as if it could drip water, was extremely unpleasant, causing Xia Wan to frown.
Xia Wan and her brother subconsciously exchanged a glance, and in that instant, they both saw confusion in each other's eyes.
Xia Tao was always a straightforward person who couldn't keep a secret. He strode into the house and asked, "Dad, what's wrong? What are they doing here?"
Xia Jianguo's expression remained calm as he slowly said, "It's nothing. Your uncle and I have some things to discuss. Taozi, you and your sister go outside and wait for a while!"
Since Xia Jianguo regained his memories of his past life, his entire demeanor and aura have undergone a dramatic change. His composure and majesty inspire awe in people.
Xia Tao looked at his father with suspicion, then glanced at Wu Guangli sitting to the side with an unfriendly expression. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything more.
Finally, after being dragged and pulled by Xia Wan, he reluctantly walked out of the house.
"Brother, just listen to Dad. Let's just stay in the yard. I doubt they'll dare to do anything outrageous!" Xia Wan comforted her reluctant brother while cautiously observing the activity inside the house.
The rest of the Xia family had not yet returned, leaving only the brother and sister in the courtyard.
Xia Tao turned his gaze to his father's room again. After observing carefully, he was relieved to find that Wu Guangli had no intention of making a move.
Then he remembered the household registration book: "Little sister, why don't we put the household registration book in your room first? There's no one home right now, so it'll be convenient for you to find a good place to hide it."
"Otherwise, when Grandpa and Grandma come back later, if they make a fuss about this and accidentally lose the household registration book, that would be a huge problem!" Xia Tao said to Xia Wan with a serious expression.
Actually, regarding the issue of household registration, he had the idea of moving his household registration out of the Xia family and establishing his own household as early as when he first started working.
However, every time he asked Grandma Xia to transfer his household registration, she would always refuse in various ways.
Xia Wan has actually acted first and informed others later. I wonder how anxious those people will be when they find out about this.
Xia Wan seemed completely absorbed in her own thoughts and didn't hear what her brother said next.
Her mind kept replaying her father's expression and actions from earlier, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the familiar Old Xia from her past life had returned.
She felt that Lao Xia must have remembered his past life.
Just then, Xia Wan suddenly came to her senses, her eyes fixed firmly on the room. She silently planned that once the two people inside left, she would hurry in and ask her father if he had remembered.
Thinking of this, her eyes couldn't help but reveal an undisguised joy.
Seeing that his younger sister had been standing there grinning like an idiot while he had been talking for so long, Xia Tao raised his hand and patted her on the head twice.
"Xiao Wan? Don't just stand there, put the household registration book inside first."
Xia Wan then realized what was happening: "Oh, okay."
She responded and turned to go inside. She said she would leave it inside, but in reality, she had already put the household registration book into her spatial storage space. There was no safer place than her spatial storage space.
Upon entering the house and seeing Qiao Qiao's luggage, she realized that she hadn't yet told her brother that Qiao Qiao was back.
Just as she was about to go out and warn her brother, she was surprised to see Wu Guangli and Wu Zhaodi coming out of her father's room as soon as she opened the door.
Wu Guangli grabbed Wu Zhaodi's arm tightly and dragged her out of the room.
At this moment, the brother and sister's faces were terribly gloomy, as if shrouded in a thick layer of dark clouds.
Upon closer inspection, Wu Zhaodi's eyes were red and swollen, with tear stains still visible at the corners, clearly indicating that she had just experienced a cathartic outpouring of tears.
As they walked to the center of the courtyard, they bumped into Xia Tao, who was standing there. Wu Zhaodi slightly opened her mouth, as if she had something to say, but swallowed the words back.
Wu Guangli, standing to the side, was furious. He didn't give his sister a chance to speak, grabbed her without a word, and stormed off.
As I watched their figures recede into the distance, a sense of doubt and worry welled up within me.
Just then, Xia Jianguo's familiar voice suddenly rang out from inside the house: "Taozi, Xiaowan, come in!"
Hearing the call, he temporarily put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and turned to walk towards the house...
"Dad, what's going on? What are they doing here?" Xia Tao rushed into the room and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his father sitting steadily on the kang (a heated brick bed).
Xia Jianguo sighed heavily, raised his hand, and slowly pointed to the chairs placed by the kang (a heated brick bed). He said in a slightly low voice, "Please sit down first. I have something to tell you."
Seeing that they were all sitting in the chairs, Xia Jianguo nodded slightly, cleared his throat, and spoke again: "Tomorrow I'm going to get a divorce certificate from your mother. This afternoon, Taozi, go find the brigade leader and ask him to help me get a certificate."
Hearing this, Xia Wan didn't show much surprise, after all, she was already mentally prepared for this outcome.
Nevertheless, they couldn't help but feel puzzled, unable to understand how their father had managed to get the Wu family to agree to the divorce so readily.
Xia Tao frowned and asked, "Why did you agree so readily this time?" Could there be a trap?
They weren't like this before. Just a few days ago, they were arguing about divorce several times over this issue. So why have they suddenly become so understanding now?
Faced with his son's question, Xia Jianguo simply smiled and shook his head, saying, "I know some things that can make your uncle listen to you. Don't worry, there won't be any problems with this."
Changing the subject, Xia Jianguo didn't want to continue the conversation, so he turned his gaze to Xia Wan: "Xiao Wan, how did your business go today?"
Xia Wan nodded, her voice a little hoarse: "The household registration has been transferred. I'll keep the household registration book for now and give it to Dad after everything is settled."
Xia Wan has calmed down now and doesn't want to dwell on her father's memories anymore. What does it matter whether he remembers his past life or not? Anyway, the person in front of her is definitely her father.
Everything was peaceful inside when they heard someone coming from outside.
"Is Uncle Jianguo here? Has Xia Wan returned?"
