Chapter 1414 Liu Mei

Xia Tang felt that since her rebirth, she had met only good people.

When she said this, she was having lunch with Chen Minzhi in the cafeteria.

They were supposed to have a day off this afternoon, so after lunch they prepared to go to Xia Dashan's house.

Although the mixed-wheat steamed bun in her hand was too rough for teeth grinding, and the soup in front of her was clear enough to reflect one's reflection, her eyes and brows were all smiling, as if she were eating the most delicious delicacy in the world.

Just before leaving work, she went to the Finance Department and received this month's pension of 20 yuan.

The financial lady even made her a small paper bag with "To be collected by Xia Tang herself" carefully written on it.

Chen Minzhi smiled as she listened to what Xia Tang said, but she couldn't help feeling a little sour in her heart.

But on second thought, as long as I can get away from that blood-sucking family, my life will be better in the future.

"Xiaotang, have you discussed today's matter with Section Chief Gu?"

"Yes. Section Chief Gu borrowed a few comrades from the Security Department for me. They all look pretty strong."

Xia Tang's eyes were filled with smiles.

"I have someone here with me, so I won't suffer any loss, don't worry, Sister Minzhi."

Chen Minzhi felt a little relieved.

She pondered over Xia Tang's words "someone is following me" and couldn't help but ask:

"Xia Tang, don't blame me for being nosy. Are you and that kid from the machinery factory..."

Seeing Xia Tang nodded, Chen Minzhi couldn't tell whether she was relieved or something else:

"That guy looks okay, although his work is a little bit worse, but in terms of character, I think he is better than Xie Minghui. There are two of them in this family..."

While he was whispering in his ear, a tall figure suddenly appeared at the cafeteria door.

Chen Minzhi's mouth suddenly closed.

Looking at Xia Tang, he couldn't help but smile and push her:

"Okay, I won't say any more. Your little object is here, hurry up and go!"

The little boy had good eyesight. Seeing the way Chen Minzhi was looking at him, he couldn't help but touch the back of his head and asked Xia Tang who was walking over:

"What's wrong with me?"

"You're fine, you're fine, let's go."

Xia Tang waved to Chen Minzhi again, and pushed Qin Yue out of the cafeteria.

When they walked out of the door, they saw a few sturdy boys standing under the big banyan tree at the door waiting for them. They looked at Xia Tang and waved to her.

Xia Tang responded with a smile and walked over quickly.

When Xia Dashan woke up early in the morning, he felt his right eyelid twitching.

When I walked out of the house, the bright sun made me feel irritated, the chirping of autumn insects made me feel irritated, and even Xia Lulu and Xia Dong standing in the middle of the yard made me feel irritated.

He was feeling irritated and his eyelids were twitching, so he simply slapped himself hard, shocking everyone around him.

Liu Mei's hands trembled, and the tofu she had just beaten almost fell to the ground.

After she realized what was happening, she quickly asked:

"Lao Xia, what's wrong with you?"

"Never mind."

Xia Dashan spat and put on his gray-blue work clothes.

"I'm going to the factory this morning. If Xia Tang and the others come, don't do anything and wait for me to come back."

After saying that, he strode towards the door.

Liu Mei first sighed, then seeing Xia Dashan was about to leave the yard, she quickly chased after him in small steps, following behind him.

"Old Xia, you see, Xia Tang is probably just trying to scare us! She wants to send Lulu to the police station...how could she have the ability to do that?"

"I told you to leave it alone!"

Xia Dashan turned around and glared at Liu Mei. He stretched out his hand and slammed the big iron door against the wall, then walked out quickly.

Xia Dong had just finished his meal and got on his bike:

"Mom, we have to work overtime today, so we probably will be back late!"

After saying that, he put one leg on the car and followed.

"Hello? Hello? Xia Dong! Why are you working overtime today?"

Liu Mei ran after her son and wanted to say a few more words, but two legs were not as fast as two wheels, so she could only watch her son's car disappear around the corner of the alley.

When I turned around, Xia Lulu was also tiptoeing to go out.

Liu Mei couldn't stand it anymore:

"Where are you going to hang out again?"

Xia Lulu subconsciously shrank her neck, but when she thought about her brother coming home late today, she stretched her neck out again:

"I...I'm going to find Brother Xie!"

"Why are you looking for Brother Xie? Isn't Xia Tang coming to meet us today? You are not at home helping your mother, why are you looking for Brother Xie?"

Liu Mei now finds Xia Lulu disliked in every way and keeps complaining about her.

"Instead of sticking to others, why not go to your personnel department and say something nice to them? Even though you were punished, you haven't resigned yet, have you? If you say something nice to others, it will be fine, right? But you haven't been back to the factory since you were punished. Tell me, you..."

Xia Lulu moved towards the door while listening to her mother's nagging.

When he got to the door, he smiled:

"Mom, the factory won't want me. But I keep pestering Brother Xie, maybe he will want me, right?"

Having said that, he ran away in a flash.

Liu Mei ran to the door but couldn't catch up. She was so angry that she propped up her thigh with one hand and pointed in Xia Lulu's direction with the other hand and cursed:

"You damn girl! Come back here!"

But no one came back.

Not only that, there were also a few houses next door with their inquiring heads sticking out from the low walls.

What Liu Mei hates the most is the people around her.

He looked down on them because he was a cadre, and he also made indirect accusations every day, saying that they were not good to Xia Tang.

When he saw that others were watching him, he straightened up immediately, walked back to the yard as if nothing had happened, and closed the door heavily.

The courtyard was already empty.

There were leftovers of cold meat and soup on the table, and used bowls and plates piled up all over the table, but no one was there to clear them away.

The yard was also a mess. There was not a single blade of grass in the originally neat gaps between the bricks, but now it was quite deserted, with moss even growing on the edges.

The day before yesterday, when she went to feed the chickens, she was not paying attention and slipped on the moss. No one responded when she called for help. It took her a long time to finally stand up by holding on to the wall.

When she thought of what happened that day, Liu Mei felt her waist ache again.

All of this would have been impossible to happen while Xia Tang was still around.

She stared at everything in the yard, stretched out her hand, rubbed her back, was stunned for a long time, and could only sigh loudly.

She has to do all the housework by herself.

No matter how reluctant Liu Mei was, she could only lower her head, put the tofu in a new bowl and put it in the cupboard, then slowly cleaned up the dishes, wiped the table, fetched water and washed the dishes, and tidied up the house little by little.

He just sighed while doing it and scolded Xia Tang harshly.

But in my heart, I am also confused.

She didn't understand what sin she had committed.

Everything was going well before. Xia Xia got married, Xia Lulu had a job, and Xia Dong was also getting married...how did it suddenly become like this?

That Xia Tang...had raised her for so long...was she so cruel?

When she was at her house, she was very nice to her. Why was she trying so hard to separate the family?

Liu Mei had a backache and was slow to work. By the time she finally packed up everything, it was already noon.

Fortunately, Xia Dashan and Xia Dong were eating lunch in the factory. Xia Lulu still had some pocket money, so she didn't think she would come back.

Sister Liu cooked herself a bowl of rotten noodles and ate it with pickled chilies.

But before she finished eating, she heard a voice from the door that she absolutely didn't want to hear:

"Anyone here? I'm here, are you guys ready?"

Sister Liu was so frightened that she trembled and the noodles almost fell all over the table.

She put down the bowl of noodles and walked to the door, just in time to see Xia Tang pushing the door open. She quickly closed the door tightly and fastened the bolt.

As soon as Xia Tang pushed, he felt a force blocking his movement. He laughed helplessly:

"Aunt, I know you are home, please open the door for me."

Liu Mei pressed against the door tightly:

"What are you saying? You said you won't come back. This is not your home anymore!"

Xia Tang brought a lot of people with him, and Liu Mei's voice was loud, so soon many neighbors heard the noise and came out.

When they saw that it was Xia Tang who came, they actually greeted her.

"Yes, ma'am, it's me."

"Hey, it's not that I can't open the door."

"What? Help me to open it! That's not necessary, she will definitely open the door. If it really doesn't work, I have someone here."

Liu Mei held the door tightly with her back. While doing so, she listened to Xia Tang casually greeting others. She was extremely furious.

However, the words of her neighbors were like needles piercing her heart.

"She also knows that she is guilty."

"Hey, Xia Tang, you are knowledgeable. Can you tell me what this is called? Is it called robbing a private house?"

"As an uncle, you still occupy your niece's home. Really, do you have any shame?"

Seeing the noise outside getting louder and louder, Liu Mei's face turned red and her neck became thick.

She listened to the discussions outside and was really afraid that the gate would be broken, so she opened the iron gate.

There were already more than a dozen people gathered outside the door.

Liu Mei looked at everyone and said to Xia Tang angrily without speaking to anyone else:

"Come in."

"Look, I said there's no need to break down the door, right?"

Xia Tang smiled at the neighbors around him and led a few people in.

Once inside, Liu Mei discovered that Xia Tang had brought several strong young men with her, and her legs immediately went weak:

"What...what are you going to do, Xia Tang?"

"Nothing, just wanted to remind you that the three-day period is up."

Xia Tang glanced around the yard and fixed his gaze on Liu Mei.

She didn't expect that in just a few days, the yard had become so messy, and how come Sister Liu looked so haggard than before.

Sister Liu noticed that Xia Tang looked more beautiful than before. Her face was originally pale, but now it was rosy. Although she was also wearing a gray-blue work suit, she looked particularly clean and neat.

Liu Mei is just this kind of person. She doesn't care whether she is doing well or not, but she feels more uncomfortable than anyone else when Xia Tang is doing well. She immediately stiffened her neck and shouted:

"Three days, so what? I'm telling you, this is my home. Why do you want me to move?"
