In fact, she wanted to let them live here directly, so she inquired about buying a house, but she was afraid that her grandfather and father would be worried about the family, so she only said in the letter that they could come and play for two days.
In fact, it is okay if they don’t come to live here. When Xia Jin passes the exam and goes to Beijing, we can let them go to Beijing to live with him.
After writing the letter, Xia Jin prepared to go to bed and rest before sending it out. She had gotten up too early in the morning and had a fight with someone, so she was a little tired.
On the other side, Xia Qingqing limped back home, startling the old lady Xia who was cooking. She raised the spatula and said, "What did you do to get yourself like this? Go wash up."
With her face covered in blood, Xia Qingqing asked Old Lady Xia for money. At first, she didn't want to give it to her, but later when Xia Qingqing threatened her with marrying into the Luo family, she reluctantly took out the money and asked Xia Qingqing to see a doctor.
While giving him money, he muttered, "You wasteful thing! It's just a small wound, why are you so delicate about it? Stay home when you have nothing to do and don't go out too much. Otherwise, if you get hurt, you'll have to spend money. We don't have that much money to give you."
Xia Jianguo said from the side: "Okay, Mom, just give it to her. It's so annoying. Besides, her face is still useful. Without it, how can she marry into the Luo family? If she doesn't marry into the Luo family, what will happen to my job?"
"I know, I know. Here's the money."
Xia Qingqing took the money and walked out. When she returned home after treating her wound, it was time for dinner. The whole family had already eaten and didn't wait for Xia Qingqing at all.
Xia Qingqing opened the door and sat down in her seat. Old Mrs. Xia said sarcastically, "What did the doctor say? It's okay, right? It's just a minor wound. Is there any need to go to the hospital?"
Xia Qingqing didn't say anything. Old Man Xia asked, "How did you get hurt? Don't you know to protect your face?"
Xia Qingqing looked at Liu Xiu and said, "It was her good daughter who hurt me. Do you think I was willing to do that? I was thinking about asking her to help our family because my father didn't have a job."
"But she not only refused to help, but also injured me and cursed our family. I was so angry that I argued with her, and that's what happened."
Mrs. Xia wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the old man. He said, "Alright, our granddaughter also has good intentions. She didn't expect that Xia Jin would be so bold. Liu Xiu, tell me how you raised your daughter."
"I think we shouldn't have agreed to raise her when you brought her here. It's fine if she didn't help when her family was in trouble, but why did she take over?"
Liu Xiu remained silent even after being scolded. He simply lowered his head and ate quietly, thinking to himself: "Weren't you also attracted by the money her father sent every year? Now you're saying it in such nice words. Besides, it was you who drove her out back then. Now that she's prosperous, you blame me."
And if you hadn't treated her like that when she was a child, would she hate your family so much? Would she not help when she saw the family in trouble?
However, Liu Xiu only dared to think about these words in her heart. She didn't dare say them out loud. Ever since Xia Jianguo was expelled, his temper had become worse and worse. He would take his anger out on her at every turn. If she said these words out loud, she would definitely be beaten.
So no matter what the old man said, no matter how unpleasant it was, Liu Xiu just endured it silently and dared not say anything.
Xia Qingqing was still fanning the flames: "Mom, it seems Xia Jin went to look for her father. Do you know about this? Our family has raised her for so many years. It's okay if she doesn't know how to repay us, but how can we honor her father who has ignored her for so many years? If she wants to be filial, she should be filial to our family."
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Xia threw down her chopsticks and said, "I told you she was an ungrateful person. Look at how much we've raised her, and now it's finally time to see the reward, and she just walked away. Not only that, she's even going to look for her biological father."
"Our family has been raising other people's children for so many years. It's unfair. What did our family gain from raising someone else's daughter for nothing?"
When Liu Xiu heard Xia Qingqing say that Xia Jin had gone to look for her father, he was so frightened that he dropped his chopsticks on the table. He said fearfully, "Do you think she knows about that?"
Old Mrs. Xia said shamelessly: "It's none of our business even if we know. Anyway, you are the one who took the money. It has nothing to do with our family anyway."
Liu Xiu didn't expect Old Lady Xia to be so shameless. Seeing that Old Man Xia didn't express anything, it seemed that he agreed with what the old lady said. Liu Xiu asked calmly: "Dad, do you think so too?"
Old Man Xia said, "What do you mean I think so too? Isn't that how things are? The money you took has nothing to do with our family."
Liu Xiu was so angry at the rogue's words that she laughed. She slammed the table and stood up and said, "Yes, yes, it's all me. Your family is so noble."
"Dad, do you remember what you said when you first asked me to embezzle the money for Xia Jin? If you don't remember, I will help you recall it."
"You said that since the emperor is far away, as long as they don't meet, no one will find out about this. At first I refused, and you just looked at me and said my nose is not a nose and my eyes are not eyes."
"Then you kept tempting me, and I finally gave in. I took the money you sent me and used it to cover your family's expenses. I, Liu Xiu, am not a good person, but are you really naive enough to think that pushing me out would end this matter?"
"I'm telling you, it's impossible. Why should I bear the consequences when we spend money together? Tell me, how much money has your Xia family added to the living expenses over the years? Can you count it?"
"I tell you, my ex-husband is a rough man. He has nothing but strength. If he really comes to our door, don't even think about running away. His family really wanted a granddaughter like Xia Jin. If they knew we treated her like this, they would have been in trouble."
Old Man Xia looked at Liu Xiu so excitedly and said, "Don't get excited yet. I know everything you said, but wasn't it because we wanted Chengcai and the others to have a better life that we did this?"
"Besides, they're so far away, they might not be able to come over. Let's not panic. Listen to what you just said."
Liu Xiu said: "Anyway, we did this together. If you want to withdraw, I tell you it's too late. Just pray that their family won't come over."
Old Lady Xia said, "Come if they can. We're just a bunch of country bumpkins and we're afraid of them. After all, we raised their child. It's fine if they don't thank us, but they dare to come and cause trouble."
