Chapter 3398 Extra Zhou Yin 13
Xia Xin changed her clothes and stood behind Zhou Yin, peeking into the room like him.
Zhou Yin only felt a faint fragrance coming from behind. He couldn't help but turn around to look, and saw Xia Xin's face leaning towards him. He froze for a moment and dared not move.
Xia Xin asked in a low voice: "What happened? Did they bully my mother just now?"
"Well," Zhou Yin turned away uncomfortably, the tips of his ears reddening as he said, "It's good that Mr. Xia is back."
The voice rang in her ears, and Xia Xin realized that the two of them were a little close. She quickly straightened up and moved away from him.
Zhou Yin breathed a sigh of relief and stopped eavesdropping. He stood up, looked around, and asked quietly, "Where's your cousin?"
Xia Xin was also looking in the yard and shaking her head.
Zhou Yin: "You wait at home, I'll go out and look for it."
Xia Xin grabbed him and asked anxiously, "You're not really going to hit him, are you?"
Zhou Yin looked at her pulling his arm. Xia Xin followed her gaze and quickly let go of her hand, putting it behind her back. Her face flushed slightly as she said, "Don't hit him. Dad will be angry if he finds out. If my dad gets angry, you..."
Zhou Yin looked at her and asked, "Are you worried that I'll be kicked out?"
Xia Xin lowered her head and whispered, "It's no use beating him. He will be adopted by my father in the future. My mother said that I have to rely on him for support in the future."
Zhou Yin disapproved, "He hasn't even been adopted yet, and his sister is bullying you. Will she still be able to support you in the future?"
He thought of his eldest sister-in-law and said to her, "It's useless to rely on him. Even if he is a brother, it's useless if he can't stand up on his own."
This was different from what she had heard since she was a child, but it was exactly what Xia Xin wanted. She looked up at him curiously.
Zhou Yin gave her an example, "My sister-in-law, her brothers at home are very fond of her. When she was bullied at home, they also beat my brother. My brother is probably afraid. Every time they see Brother Qian, they are intimidated. But after returning home, it won't take long for them to return to their old ways."
Xia Xin: "What should we do then?"
"She stood up for herself. That's what my sister-in-law did," he said. "She became tough and ordered my brother to do things every day."
"How can a woman order a man around?" Xia Xin whispered, "If he doesn't obey, can we still beat him up?"
"Sure, my sister-in-law will do it."
Xia Xin thought for a moment and then smiled, "That's because your brother loves your sister-in-law. Otherwise, how could a woman beat a man?"
Zhou Yin thought for a moment and nodded, "My brother has a lot of problems, but he won't fight my sister-in-law. Besides, there are me and my nephews and nieces. If he gets angry with my sister-in-law, she'll just throw us on him and let each of us howl, and he'll be scared."
Xia Xin burst out laughing, "How old are you? You're being treated like a child by your brother?"
Zhou Yin lowered his eyes, feeling somewhat melancholy. "My brother is much older than me, and I was raised by my sister-in-law."
Xia Xin asked hesitantly, "What about your parents?"
Zhou Yin: "They died when I was five."
Xia Xin apologized in a low voice, "Then your brother and sister-in-law treat you very well."
Looking at Zhou Yin, one can tell that his past life must not have been difficult, otherwise he wouldn't be so cheerful.
Zhou Yin nodded, "He's very good to me."
The two of them were speechless. You looked at me, I looked at you. After a long while, Zhou Yin looked away and said, "I, I'm going out for a walk."
Xia Xin whispered, "Don't hit Xia Yi."
"I know."
Zhou Yin didn't beat Xia Yi, but he kept them in mind. He kept a close eye on them and discovered that they came to the county town quite often. Every time they came, they would hang around the Xia family and inquire about the news about the Xia family.
No wonder they found out so quickly that he was living in the Xia family. It turned out they had been keeping an eye on the Xia family.
Xia Yan naturally knew what Zhou Yin knew. He never thought much about it before. It was normal for clan members to visit relatives at home every once in a while, but this time, they had just come once before he took Zhou Yin in.
Unless they had important business in the city, they would only visit home once every two months.
This time they came to the city for no urgent business and as they were rushing to harvest in autumn, his wife said that as soon as he entered the house, he started to make sarcastic remarks about Zhou Yin. It was obvious that they came because of Zhou Yin.
But not many people knew that Zhou Yin lived in the Xia family.
Before, Zhou Yin hardly went out while recuperating from his illness. Recently, when he went out, he only went to the well at the entrance of the alley to fetch water. He didn't go far away. He was also very low-key.
So how did Hongtian Village know so quickly that their family had taken in Zhou Yin?
Xia Yan didn't realize why he hadn't noticed it before, but now he noticed that someone was keeping an eye on their house on behalf of the Xia family of Hongtian Village.
Xia Yan looked very unhappy and wanted to go to his neighbor's house to question him in person.
Zhou Yin hurriedly followed, "Mr. Xia, I'll go with you."
Xia Yan refused: "No need."
"I'd better follow you guys. I can help if you guys start fighting."
Xia Yan paused, turned his head and looked Zhou Yin up and down, then nodded after a moment: "Then follow me."
This made Xia's mother worried, and she hurriedly chased after him, saying, "Talk to them nicely and tell them not to fight. You only know how to study, not how to fight..."
Xia Yan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, a gentleman uses words, not fists."
Zhou Yin complained in his heart, but the other party was not a gentleman. If he attacked, would you just stand there and take the beating or fight back?
But he was just thinking about it in his heart, and he comforted Mother Xia by saying, "Don't worry, Madam, I'm here. I know how to fight. When I was in our village, I was a very good fighter."
Mother Xia: ...I am not at all relieved. Instead, I am even more worried. What should I do?
Xia Yan laughed out loud and took Zhou Yin to the neighbor's house at the end of the alley.
The neighbors were very embarrassed. They had not acted properly in the first place, but it was just a matter of knowing. Who would ask about it in person?
Isn't this the beginning of a falling out?
So even though he felt a little guilty towards Xia Yan, he was still annoyed in his heart, thinking that Xia Yan had become stupid from reading too much and didn't even understand the basic ways of the world.
Xia Yan was not ignorant of the ways of the world, but if he didn't point this out, if there was any disturbance in the Xia family in the future, they would inform Hongtian Village, so it was better to point it out.
If you can make it clear, it will be good for everyone. If you can't make it clear, then the only option is to break up.
Among the neighbors living in the same alley, which family would like to be constantly watched by the other?
It would be bad if this got out.
The neighbor glanced at Zhou Yin, who was following behind Xia Yan. Not wanting to make a big deal out of it, he explained aggrievedly, "The people over at Hongtian Village are your clansmen. Your brother came to us and said he was worried your family would be bullied in the city alone, so he asked us to look after you. If there's anything, tell them in time so they can come to the city to help. Who knew our kindness would be so tame and your family wouldn't even appreciate it?"
"If you don't appreciate it, forget it. I won't do it again. But if your family is bullied in the future, my family will not tip off your family anymore."
