Before, when Xia Jin visited Aunt Xia, she did not tell her about her troubles. That day, Uncle Xia found his sister and told her about the situation.
Aunt Xia was furious when she heard that Liu Xiu dared to treat Xia Jin like this. She said angrily: "Liu Xiu is really not a human being. Xiao Jin is her own daughter. How could Liu Xiu treat her like this?"
Uncle Xia said, "Who knows? Maybe he looks down on us and Xiao Jin too. I came here this time just to ask you to go over there and seek justice for Xiao Jin."
"Everyone who can go should go. We didn't know before that they bullied our family, but now that we know, we absolutely can't let it go like this. If we don't go, won't it make them think that our family is easy to bully? They will definitely intensify their bullying of Xiao Jin in the future."
"Brother, I understand. We will come to find you tomorrow."
Uncle Xia said, "Okay, but we don't know how long we'll be gone. You should settle your family and take more luggage. Everything is expensive in the city, so we should save some money."
"It's okay, her dad is at home."
The entire Xia family was making preparations to go find Xia Jin, bringing various local specialties to Xia Jin. Hearing that food on the train was more expensive, they also baked a bunch of steamed buns overnight to eat on the road.
If Xia Yanbing and the others hadn't stopped them, Grandpa Xia and Father Xia would have carried all the quilts at home with them, under the pretext of saving money for Xia Jin. They felt that Xia Jin lived alone, and if they went there, they would definitely have to prepare a lot of things, so they tried to save as much as possible, after all, it wasn't easy for Xia Jin to earn money.
Since she already has it at home, she doesn't need to spend more money and can just prepare it herself.
On the other side, Xia Jin finally rented a house. Originally, Xia Jin wanted to buy it, but the owner refused to sell it. Xia Jin had no choice but to rent it for half a year. Half a year was just right. When he went to Beijing, the house would be useless.
This house is right in front of Xia Jin's house, very close to it. After she signed the contract, she went home with tools to clean the room. This house is big enough for her own home, with five rooms in the main house, which is enough for Xia's father and others to live in.
There was a bed and furniture in the room, but Xia Jin had to buy the sheets, quilt covers, etc. herself. After cleaning, Xia Jin was so tired that she could not even straighten her back, so she had to put the shopping plan off until tomorrow.
Xia Jin went home, washed her hands, took off her dirty clothes, and threw herself on the bed. After cleaning for the whole afternoon, she felt like her waist was about to break. Although she was very hungry, she didn't want to get up and cook at all.
Just lie there like this, you won’t feel hungry when you fall asleep. Xia Jin lay on the bed in a daze. It was getting dark, but Gu Jingmo still hadn’t come back. She wondered if he would ever come back.
Since Gu Jingmo left four days ago, he hasn't come back once. Xia Jin is still not used to him being around. Take cooking for example. Originally, no matter how much Xia Jin cooked, Gu Jingmo could always finish it.
But it’s not possible now. She is alone. If she wants to cook some dishes, she won’t be able to finish them. If she wants to cook one dish, she can’t choose what she wants to eat. She wants to eat everything she wants just by thinking about the taste.
So when Xia Jin was alone at home, he ate out most of the time. He could eat whatever he wanted and didn’t have to clean up after eating. How nice was that.
Xia Jin was lying on the bed struggling with her stomach when she suddenly heard the door open. She sat up from the bed and silently looked out the window to see who came in.
Unfortunately, it was too dark to see clearly, so Xia Jin had to put on her shoes and walked out. Just as she walked into the living room, she saw Gu Jingmo pushing the door open. Xia Jin looked at Gu Jingmo and said in surprise, "Why are you back today?"
Gu Jingmo looked at Xia Jin who looked weak and said, "My shift changer is here, so I came back to see you. But what's wrong with you? Don't you eat well when I'm not at home?"
Xia Jin fell on Gu Jingmo and said, "I rented a house for my dad today, and then I cleaned the whole afternoon. I'm so tired."
"So you don't want to eat?"
Xia Jin said, "It's not that I don't want to eat, it's just that I'm too tired and don't want to move. Have you eaten yet?"
"No, go sit on the sofa. I'll go see what else is out there and buy some."
Xia Jin said coquettishly: "Okay, I'm so hungry, please hurry up."
Gu Jingmo went out to buy something. Xia Jin filled a kettle with water and put it on the boil. After the water boiled and they waited for a while, Gu Jingmo came back. He put down his things and said, "It's a bit late. There's not much good food left. I just bought some. Let's eat quickly."
While eating, Gu Jingmo said, "Did uncle say when he would come over?"
"I don't know yet, but the letter I sent them should have arrived. I'll go to the post office tomorrow to ask."
"Okay, is the room cleaned up? If not, I'll go with you tomorrow and buy them some things to decorate the room."
Xia Jin grumbled as he ate, "No... no need for you. I've already cleaned everything today. I just need to go out and buy them some sheets and quilts tomorrow."
"I don't need you, just do your work."
"Can you do it yourself? I still have a day here and I'm not busy right now."
Xia Jin swallowed the food in his mouth, shook his head and said, "Why not? Just ask them to deliver it to you after you buy it. Just work hard. If anything goes wrong, your boss will definitely scold you."
"Okay, I'll do as you say. What happened during the days I was away?"
Xia Jin thought of Xia Qingqing's story and excitedly began to tell Gu Jingmo, gesturing as he spoke: "...You don't know how scary it is to have blood all over your face."
Gu Jingmo said, "When I'm not with you in the future, stay away from them. What if they get angry and hurt you?"
"It's okay. I know my limits. If I can't win, I'll definitely run away. But I'm confident I can handle Xia Qingqing alone."
"But maybe it's because I used my dad to scare them. Because of how badly Xia Qingqing got knocked down, no one came to bother me, and that old woman didn't go to my shop to cause trouble either."
Gu Jingmo smiled and said, "Even if they want to seek justice, they won't dare go to your store. What if you send them in?"
"That's right, but it's best if they don't make trouble. Otherwise, I'll have to go through the trouble of arguing with them, which is really troublesome."
"But when my dad and his family come over, I'll take them to my stepfather's house every day to make trouble, so that the old woman can also have a taste of what it's like to be trapped at home and not dare to go out."
