Chapter 204: Defeat Them One by One
Xia Xuejiao said straightforwardly:
"Mom, I gave you this money because I was afraid you would cheat on me.
Nowadays, even the most common necessities are not cheap. How can I bring my relatives to live and eat for free at my mother's house?
As for the fact that I have no money, it doesn’t matter.
If I really need it urgently, I still have a few pieces of jewelry. If it's daily pocket money, my parents and all these brothers are here, can they let me starve or freeze?
Besides, when peace comes back, I will find a job.”
As Xia Xuejiao spoke, she pinched Zhou's hand imperceptibly. Zhou immediately realized that Xia Xuejiao still had some silver and money on her, and she had only taken out a part of it.
Since her daughter still had some money on her, Zhou felt a lot more at ease.
When Xia Xuejiao said so straightforwardly that she didn't want to eat and live for free and that she would have to find a job in the future, the sisters-in-law looked at her differently.
Originally, when Xia Xuejiao took out the silver, Sun's eyes lit up, but because Erlang had talked to Sun secretly many times before, Sun had not forgotten it.
She knew clearly that the eldest family had just suffered misfortune, and Old Master Xia and the old couple Zhou were in a very bad mood!
If she dared to jump out at this moment, she would surely be beaten to a pulp.
I had to grit my teeth and bear it.
"Alas, I just don't know when peace will come!" Xia Yujiao murmured with a sigh.
If anyone else had said this, Zhou would have been suspicious. But since it was said by her youngest daughter, Zhou felt a little sad.
After Doctor Wang came to Beiguan Village, Zhou asked him to treat her youngest daughter Xia Yujiao again.
Doctor Wang meant that Xia Yujiao's depression could not be solved by taking medicine, and she had to think it over on her own. It would be best if she could change her environment.
However, moving the whole family is not an easy thing.
Having lived in Beiguan Village for most of my life, not only Mr. Xia, but even I myself am reluctant to leave every tree and blade of grass in this village.
Although Zhou felt very sorry for her youngest daughter, this family relocation involved more than just her youngest daughter!
Although the Xia family split up early due to some reasons, in the minds of Mr. Xia and Zhou, even if the family was split up, the children were still their own.
Seeing that everyone was thinking about something, the room became quiet. Cheng tried to ease the atmosphere and said:
"Sister, you've suffered. I can tell from your expression how much suffering you've endured on this trip.
I am a person of dull mind and poor speech, so don't blame me for speaking frankly.
I see that you and your two nieces have been so frightened. If the shock is not relieved, it will cause trouble if you develop chronic illness.
It just so happened that Doctor Wang from the town also came to the village to avoid disaster and stayed in our house.
I asked him to come and see my eldest sister and two nieces, and prescribe a prescription to calm the nerves. They can take it for a few days to prevent them from having nightmares at night.
Doctor Wang’s consultation fee is not cheap, but now he is living in our house, so he won’t let us spend too much.”
Xia Xuejiao didn't want to take medicine, but when she looked at her daughter Xiao'e's timid face and then at Qianniang's pale face, she knew in her heart that even though she was strong-willed and not too scared, the two children were still frightened.
So she nodded and sighed:
"Alas, I am such a rough person, but now I have escaped death and saved my life, and I have become precious. So I will trouble my fifth brother and sister-in-law."
"You are too polite, sister. I will go and ask Doctor Wang right away."
After consulting a doctor and getting some medicine, Xia Xuejiao took her two children to drink some hot calming soup.
Xia Youtian pulled Xia Yougui, Xia Youxi, and Xia Youliang together and whispered what Xia Daohua had said before, but he did not mention that it was Xia Daohua's idea:
"Our Beiguan Village is a place of great feng shui. We haven't experienced war for many years. While other places were at war, we were very peaceful here. But after this incident, the whole town was in such a miserable state. I'm afraid our village will not be able to escape it either.
Even if he escaped the war, the next step might be to deal with Ding Lafu!
Besides, even if we can get through this time, what about the next time? And the time after that? How many times can Beiguan Village withstand such turmoil?
Not many people died in our village, but how long will it take to repair the destroyed houses and fields? Without food, what will we eat? Without houses, where will we live when the weather is getting cold?
What if those barbarians come again? How many times can our newly repaired houses and fields withstand being destroyed again? "
Xia Yougui bulged his eyes and said, "Old Four, what do you want to say? Just say it directly, don't beat around the bush."
Xia Youxi and Xia Youliang also echoed:
"Yes, Lao Si, just say whatever you want to say! We are close brothers, there is nothing we can't say to each other."
"Fourth brother, tell me, what are your thoughts?"
Xia Youtian nodded vigorously:
“I just can’t bear to leave my brothers!
I don't dare to stay in this place anymore.
What if one day I get chopped to death like my eldest brother, without even a complete body left? What will happen to my family then?
My children are still young. Without a father, they will be bullied!
Jiang is so weak, she will cry to death!
I have made up my mind. After this winter, I will move away to a place inland where there is peace and no war, and live the rest of my life in peace and quiet."
The brothers were all frightened by this and said in unison:
"Oh, you're moving away?"
The second brother was the first to think of the land, his eyes sparkling: "What about your land? Are you just going to give it up like that?"
Before Xia Youtian could answer, the third brother Xia Youxi frowned and asked:
"You've moved away, and you're not familiar with the place. Aren't you afraid of being bullied by the local tyrants?"
The fifth brother, Xia Youliang, followed up on the third brother's words:
"It's not that easy to move away. If you want to move across states and counties, you won't be able to do so without household registration documents and a travel permit. This isn't a case of fleeing famine, so the county can't let you go, right?"
Xia Youtian said:
“Whether the county will release you or not, I will figure it out later. I just want to ask you one question: Do you still want to stay in Beiguan Village?
Yes, this place has many advantages. There are few people, but there is a lot of land. The soil is so fertile that even a stick can grow! But this place loves to fight!
If the brain is gone, no matter how fertile the land is, what does it have to do with us?"
Several brothers were shocked.
Yes, no matter how good the land is, if you lose your brain, you have nothing.
Xia Youxi and Xia Youliang both felt that what Xia Youtian said made sense, and couldn't help but think about moving their family.
However, Xia Yougui felt that Xia Youtian was frightened by the fact that his boss Xia Youcai was chopped to death, and he felt a little contempt for him.
But Xia Youtian's next words made Xia Yougui's expression stern.
