Xia Zirui and Xia Ziheng had long been frightened by the aura of Xia Weian's family.
The eldest, second, third and fourth girls, who usually seemed timid and submissive, were now holding sticks and looking aggressive, as if they might hit them at any time.
They didn't dare stay any longer. If they were really provoked, they would be beaten without any recourse as they were the younger generation.
Two people carried Xia Zixuan back.
Old Mrs. Xia was also helped up by Tian Guihua. When Zhao Meilan saw that everyone had left, she stomped her feet in anger and had to follow.
Soon the people in the Xia family's old house disappeared. They came and went in a hurry.
Xia Jianguo turned around and glared at Xia Weian fiercely.
"Xia Weian, I will never let this matter go so easily."
Just as Xia Jianguo finished his harsh words, he stepped on a stone, twisted his ankle with a snap, and fell to the ground.
"Brother." Xia Zhiqiang hurried to help, but as luck would have it, he was tripped by Xia Jianguo and fell to the ground with his arm dislocated.
The two brothers screamed in pain.
One of the brothers could not walk on his own, and the other's arm was so painful that he couldn't move it. Finally, the two were sent to a barefoot doctor.
The barefoot doctor reattached Xia Zhiguo's arm and told him, "You can't lift anything heavy or do any heavy work for the next three to five days."
Xia Jianguo's feet were swollen bigger than steamed buns. When the barefoot doctor was massaging him, his screams could be heard two miles away.
"You won't be able to walk for a while, you have to rest."
Soon, a group of people from the Xia family's old house went to Han the Hunter's house to cause trouble for Xia Weian. As a result, on the way back, the news that the two pillars of the family broke their feet and arms spread throughout the village.
The people in the village had even more respect for Xia Weian's family.
"Do you think Hunter Han is protecting Xia Lao San's family?"
"I think so."
"They had just moved in, and even before Boss Han and Second Brother Han arrived, Hunter Han took the initiative to go to their house to warn them not to cause trouble for Xia Weian's family."
"Who said it wasn't? How could it be like that?"
"Could it be that Han Liehu is still here?"
"Emma, don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense. When Han Liehu was still alive, he had a good relationship with Xia Laosan. Otherwise, how could he allow Xia Laosan to live in their house?"
"When Han Lao Da and Han Lao Er tried to occupy the house, and when those other families from the village went there, they all came back sick."
"Look, as soon as Third Xia moved in, they immediately encountered a wealthy family in the city who gave them clothes. Do you think such luck could come naturally?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
"And today, the two Xia brothers just went out to cause trouble, and on their way back, they fell flat on their faces. They're two grown men who are usually in good health, so how could they fall so easily?"
"It must be Han Hunter."
From that day on, everyone knew that they could not go to Han Liehu's house casually, especially with malicious intentions. If they wanted to harm Xia Weian's family, Han Liehu would teach them a lesson.
Han Liehu: Thank you all, you all respect me.
Xia Weian was unaware of the villagers' discussions and he and Song Qingyun returned to the yard to continue their work.
They had already prepared for the possibility that people from the Xia family's old house would come and cause trouble, so they were not surprised to see them and did not care much.
After Song Qingyun cleaned up the house, he went to the backyard to find Xia Weian.
Xia Weian was building a bathroom. He originally wanted to find two iron buckets at the scrap collection station, but Song Qingyun and the others didn't see them. Xia Weian was just building a simple shed for temporary use.
Wait until they settle down, and then build two good ones. This way, it will be convenient for Han Chengwu to come back.
"Sister Yun, take a look at our backyard. What are you going to plant?"
Song Qingyun looked at the large yard in his backyard and said, "Plant four rows of green onions, two rows of peppers, two rows of cucumbers, two rows of persimmons, two rows of cabbage, and four rows of potatoes."
"We'll make the rest into small plots of three or four square meters each, and then we'll plant cilantro, spring onions, and other small vegetables."
"Let's go to the mountain and see if there are any fruit trees. We can transplant a couple of them. I remember there are pepper trees on the back mountain. Let's dig up a couple of them and put them in the backyard. Then we won't have to go out and buy peppers anymore."
"Okay." Xia Weian responded gently. He liked watching his wife make plans for the household, and beautiful pictures would appear before his eyes.
Just thinking about it makes me feel that the future will be wonderful.
"Actually, I want to plant some flowers and have a grape trellis in the front yard," said Song Qingyun.
"Okay, after we finish building these two bathrooms, we'll go up the mountain. There are a lot of flower seedlings on the mountain. If you see any you like, we can pick some up."
"By the way, let's see if there are any mushrooms. There are many wild vegetables in this season." Song Qingyun said.
Both of them had smiles on their faces as they spoke.
"Mom and Dad, are you going up the mountain?" The big girl came over to bring water to Xia Weian and Song Qingyun, and happened to hear the two people talking about going up the mountain.
"We're going up the mountain soon. Do you want to come with us or rest at home?" Song Qingyun took the water cup from the big girl's hand and handed one to Xia Weian.
"If my sisters all go, I'll go too. If there are any who don't want to go, I'll stay home with them."
"Okay." Song Qingyun agreed, "Go ask the sisters now, and we'll leave after lunch."
"Okay." The eldest girl ran back to the front yard and told everyone that she was going up the mountain. The sisters immediately expressed their desire to go up the mountain.
Song Qingyun prepared lunch. She fried potato shreds with oil residue, cut cucumber shreds, made persimmon soup, and baked more than a dozen pancakes.
The whole family enjoyed the meal with relish.
Xiao Qi said while eating, "I'm so happy. Since leaving the old house, every day has been so happy."
Song Qingyun rubbed Xiaoqi's little head lovingly. Xiaoqi's hair was dry, yellow and sparse, and it was obvious that he was not getting enough nutrition.
As Song Qingyun touched her, a look of pity appeared on his face.
Xia Weian patted Song Qingyun's shoulder gently and said, "I'll go to the county again in a couple of days and buy some malted milk and milk powder to supplement the children's nutrition."
"Well, make some more." Song Qingyun said.
"Okay." Xia Weian smiled gently.
Xiao Qi smacked his lips twice. "Can I really drink milk powder and malted milk? I saw my seventh cousin drink it before, and it smelled so good. I wanted to smell it more, but my seventh cousin said that I would stink it up, so he wouldn't let me."
Song Qingyun felt a lump in her throat, and she picked up a piece of lard residue for Xiaoqi.
"Xiao Qi, we will have everything from now on. We will have what he has, and we will also have what he doesn't have. We don't need his."
"Well! I don't care about him!" Xiao Qi said crisply.
It made everyone laugh again.
Xia Weian looked at his silly and adorable little Qi, and thought of the old man at the scrap yard who wanted to take her in as his apprentice, and fell into deep thought...
