Chapter 45 The marriage was arranged by the Xia family
Xia Yaoyao was breathing rapidly, her face was flushed from exertion, and beads of sweat kept dripping down her forehead. She knew how embarrassed she was without even looking in the mirror.
Li Yinshuang was used to a good life, and moving the solid wooden bed made her exhausted.
"I can't take it anymore." Li Yinshuang had reached her limit. She let go of her hands, and two bed boards fell to the ground.
The bed lost control and fell towards her.
Li Yinshuang was worried about being hit, so she dodged. However, she moved too big and sprained her waist. Her face turned pale and she was in so much pain that she couldn't speak.
Xia Mi opened the door and saw Li Yinshuang hunched over with a look of pain on her face. Xia Yaoyao wanted to help but her hands were too limited.
"Mom, sister, you are here." Xia Mi walked out.
She didn't go to help Li Yinshuang, but bent down to pick up the fallen board. "You came at the right time. I just said I would go check if the bed was fixed, and here I am."
Li Yinshuang thought Xia Mi came to help her, and silently withdrew her hand that was frozen in mid-air.
Li Yinshuang and Xia Yaoyao never thought that they would enter Xia Mi's home in this way.
"Xia Mi, your father informed you half a month in advance that he would come, and you asked us to help you move the bed as soon as we arrived. If you don't welcome us, you can reply and make it clear in advance."
Li Yinshuang subconsciously thought that this was Xia Mi's revenge on her.
Xia Mi put the bed board against the door and leaned against it, smiling lightly, "Mom, this is really not my fault. I also informed the carpenter in advance and asked him to inform me in advance. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."
Xia Mi pretended to be unaware of the situation and implied to both of them that this was not helping her, but helping themselves.
If it weren't for these two people, she wouldn't have to waste money on making a new bed.
"Sister-in-law, the battalion commander informed me in advance. I passed by Carpenter Wei's house this morning and asked him about it. When he heard that the bed was made for Aunt and Comrade Xia, he quickly finished the finishing work and asked me to go and get it this afternoon."
Shi Daqiang put down his things, he was so tired that sweat all over his head, and he grinned with a simple smile.
"I was also thinking of picking you two up and bringing them back together, so that my aunt and the others wouldn't have nowhere to sleep at night."
Shi Daqiang was very sensible and emphasized that the bed was made for two people.
Li Yinshuang and Xia Yaoyao were so angry that they were speechless.
Fortunately, when she was on the boat, she felt sorry for Xia Mi coming to such a hard place, but now she saw that Xia Mi had no intention of repenting at all.
Li Yinshuang felt even more disgusted with this adopted daughter.
Xia Yaoyao was even more confused. Just now at the dock, when the soldiers on duty heard that they were looking for Xia Mi, someone drove over to take them there.
What she was curious about was, could Yan Yiming, who was just a deputy battalion commander, still use a car?
While waiting for the bed to be installed, Xia Mi poured water for Shi Daqiang first. After serving the water to others, she asked the two stunned people to drink water.
Li Yinshuang sat there, looking around the house. "I didn't expect you guys could get such a big house."
This is much better than the small courtyard they live in.
Suzhou has a large population and a diverse population, so the Xia family did not dare to live in the old house. They simply sealed it off and moved to an old and dilapidated courtyard to make do with their lives.
Xia Mi brushed the dust off her hands and looked at the vegetables she bought after get off work.
"Mom, if you're not feeling well, go lie down and rest. My sister and I will go cook."
Hearing that they could take a break, Li Yinshuang finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then she saw that there was not even a mattress.
"You haven't even made the bed, how can I lie down?"
Xia Yaoyao was equally reluctant. She had put in a lot of effort in moving the bed just now. In order to please Shen Xia Mi, she said nothing.
Now she hadn't even had time to sit down on the bench, and Xia Mi asked her to cook.
"Let me make the bed, Xia Mi, where are your things?"
Xia Mi suddenly realized, and an apologetic look appeared on her face. "I, I didn't have these dowries when I got married. What I have now are the ones issued by the army. There is not much left."
As soon as these words came out, Xia Yaoyao almost couldn't control her emotions.
Li Yinshuang was almost mad to death, she could no longer bear it, "Your dad warned you half a month ago, you didn't have so much time to prepare, but waited until today to remember, you didn't do it on purpose?"
"Xia Mi, you have no blood relationship with us, but I have done my best to raise you for twenty years. Is this how you repay me?"
"You don't remember the dirty things you did in Suzhou, but we do. Don't think you can erase everything just because you married a soldier."
Li Yinshuang expressed her unhappiness.
Xia Mi didn't expect that she would be in trouble as soon as she arrived.
"If you had known that you and I had no blood relationship, would you still have raised me for twenty years?"
Li Yinshuang was slightly surprised and looked at Xia Mi in disbelief, and found that there seemed to be something missing in her eyes.
Xia Yaoyao knew what this missing thing was.
It was fear. Xia Mi used to be afraid of losing her parents and brother, but now it is different. Xia Mi's eyes are full of calmness, as if she doesn't care about them at all.
Xia Mi raised her face, her eyes were clear and her expression was indifferent.
"You came here without asking for my opinion. You were directly notifying me, just like when you asked me to marry to Wind Chasing Island. It was just a notification, not a discussion."
Xia Mi sat down and looked at the mother and daughter who were silent.
"You were the ones who said that I would have nothing to do with you after I arrived at Wind Chasing Island. You were also the ones who said that we would never have anything to do with each other again."
Li Yinshuang's arrogance was suddenly reduced by half.
They did say these cruel words, but compared with the bad things Xia Mi did, they are not worth mentioning at all.
"Although I don't know why you guys pretend to come to Wind Chasing Island to see me even though you clearly hate me, I think these few days should be our last chance to meet in this life."
"I admit the mistakes I made in the past, but I'm not born bad. Don't you know this best, Mom?"
Xia Mi smiled slightly, and the smile on her face was dazzling, as if reminding Li Yinshuang to remember the memory of being proud of her when she was a child.
"I was in your territory before, so I listened to you in everything I did. Now you are in my home, so you should listen to me."
As they were talking, the sky outside turned dark and the bell for the end of get off work rang, interrupting what Xia Mi was about to say.
Xia Yaoyao watched her mother's face turn blue and white due to anger, and she could no longer bear it.
"Xia Mi, this marriage is between us and the Yan family. Logically speaking, the reason you can marry such a good person is all thanks to our friendship with the Yan family."
"Isn't it a bit too much for you to talk to mom like that?"
Xia Yaoyao stared at Xia Mi with burning eyes, and her words were reminding Xia Mi.
Everything she has now was brought by the Xia family.
At the same time, he was also trying to wake up Li Yinshuang, who was about to faint from anger.
Li Yinshuang realized belatedly that she had been trapped by Xia Mi's words and could not utter a word.
"Can I marry such a good person?" Xia Mi murmured softly, finding it a little funny.
She asked Xia Yaoyao, "Then why didn't you marry here? This is a good marriage for your Xia family."
"Xia Mi, shut up!"
Li Yinshuang felt a throbbing pain in her temples. If Xia Mi said one more word, she felt like she would faint from anger.
Why did Xia Mi feel that this person had become even more sharp-tongued after coming to the Wind Chasing Island? "It's a rare thing. This is the first time I've seen an outsider ask my wife to shut up."
Huo Jingchen brought Shi Daqiang back.
The man's expression was unusually cold, and the oppressive feeling he exuded was even colder and sharper than usual, making people feel suffocated.
"If you don't want to stay, I'll arrange for someone to send you away now."
