Old Master Xia said thoughtfully, "It would be better if she could earn more. I didn't expect she would be so lucky."
Old Mrs. Xia asked in disbelief: "You are getting old and confused. You earn so much money but you don't give it to us."
Old Master Xia said calmly, "Who said it's not ours anymore? Don't forget her biological mother is still with us. When we have time, let Liu Xiu ask her to go and reconnect with us, admit her mistakes, and bring her back. Then her shop will be ours."
"Is this okay, old man? Then Xia Jin will believe it."
Old Master Xia said firmly: "Just wait and see. You don't know what she was like before. She just lacked love. Just give her a little care and love. Hasn't she worked hard in our family for more than ten years?"
"Let Liu Xiu apologize this time and show some concern for her. It will definitely work. When she comes back, we can do whatever we want with her."
Mrs. Xia clapped her hands and said, "You are really smart, old man. Why didn't I think of it? When the time comes, let her hand over all the money for our precious Chengcheng and Caicai to spend. Although the country allows business now, what if one day it happens again like before?"
Mr. Xia said calmly: “This store is Xia Jin, what does it have to do with us then.”
Old Lady Xia said with a smile, "You're really smart. Why didn't I think of that? No, I have to go to the store tomorrow to supervise the employees. What if they steal things from the store? This is all our money. When that bitch Xia Jin comes back, I will definitely teach her a lesson. It's just a small store, why do we need to hire so many people? What a waste."
"Don't go yet. Wait until Liu Xiu and her have eased their relationship before you go."
"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say."
At this moment, Xia Qingqing came back. She looked at her grandparents on the sofa. Her grandmother was very happy. Xia Qingqing asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Grandpa and grandma, what happened? You are so happy."
Old Lady Xia said, "It's all about that bitch Xia Jin. I went to see her shop today and it's really making money. Did you know she's your classmate?"
Xia Qingqing said, "I just saw that she's dressed better these past few days and even bought a bicycle. It seems like she's rich now."
Mrs. Xia said, "We are rich now, but it will soon become ours."
Xia Qingqing smiled and said, "That's great. This way Xia Cheng and Xia Cai will be able to eat more delicious food. We can also move to a new house so that grandpa, grandma and my two younger brothers can live more comfortably."
Mrs. Xia smiled and said, "Qingqing is sensible and always thinks of her younger brother. When we take over the two spicy hot pot restaurants, we will definitely give you a generous dowry when you get married so that the Luo family won't look down on you."
Xia Qingqing pretended to be happy and said, "Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma, but there are only two stores. I heard from people outside that the hot pot restaurant seems to be owned by Xia Jin."
Old Mrs. Xia said in surprise: "Is everything you said true?"
Xia Qingqing said: "Everyone outside is saying this, it should be true."
Old Lady Xia clapped her hands and said, "Do you think this damn girl is deliberately hiding her abilities in our house? If she has such abilities, why didn't she use them earlier? I think she just doesn't want us to be well. She's really an ungrateful person."
Xia Qingqing deliberately said on the side: "Grandma, don't worry, I will never be like this. When I marry Luo Zisen, I will definitely help the family."
Old Master Xia said, "That's right. It's still the people of our Xia family who have consciences. Those wild kids out there are just wild kids. No matter what they do, they're heartless. But Qingqing, how have you been with Luo Zisen these past few days? I heard from my colleagues at the factory that the Luo family wants to get engaged to the factory director's daughter."
Xia Qingqing said sadly, "The Luo family thinks we have no money and no power, and Wang Yuanyuan bullies me in class all day long by pretending to be Zisen's fiancée."
Mr. Xia said, "As for Luo Zisen, you just need to capture his heart."
Xia Qingqing said, "Brother Zisen likes me very much, but I'm afraid his family won't let him marry me."
Old Lady Xia said angrily, "If they dare, I'll go to the factory and make a scene if they don't marry you, letting everyone know what their family is like. We've been together for so long, how can they just give up on me if they want to?"
Old Master Xia looked at Old Lady Xia angrily and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? We all work in the factory. Are you going to make us all unemployed by making a scene?"
Old Mrs. Xia said, "Then what do you say we should do?"
Xia Qingqing looked at the preparations and slowly said, "Grandpa, do you think this is okay? Give me one of the shops I got from Xia Jin as a dowry. Then the Luo family won't reject me..."
Before she could finish her words, Old Lady Xia said loudly, "No, these belong to Chengcai and the others. Why would a little girl like you ask for them? No, absolutely not."
Old Master Xia also said, "Qingqing, once you get married, you will become someone else's child. How can we take our Xia family's things to someone else's home?"
Xia Qingqing said sympathetically, "Grandpa, these things belong to Chengcai and his two children. As their elder sister, how can I snatch them from them?"
"So what do you mean?"
Xia Qingqing said innocently, "Look, Chengcai and the other two are still young. Doesn't that shop need someone to run it? What if Xia Jin deliberately closes the shop to get revenge on us? I'm different. We're all members of the Xia family, and if I marry into the Luo family, I can use their influence to develop the business. That way, Chengcai and the other two will have more money when they grow up."
Mr. Xia said, "You are right. Once we get the shop, we will do as you said. But don't forget what you said."
Although Xia Qingqing was very happy in her heart, as this bargaining chip would make it easier for her to marry Luo Zisen, and there was no way she would let them take it back once it was in her hands, she still pretended to be calm and said, "Thank you, Grandpa. I will never forget it. But I have been in the same class with Xia Jin for the past few months, and she has really changed a lot. I am afraid she will not come back easily."
"How about this, Grandpa? She's not doing well in school anyway, so why not go to school? We can find her a job in the factory. It's a stable job, after all, and it's better than her opening a shop. What do you think, Grandpa?"
Old Man Xia thought for a while and said, "Let's try it first. If it doesn't work, we'll do as you said. But where can we find this job?"
Xia Qingqing said coquettishly, "Grandpa, you forgot that I'm going to marry into the deputy factory director's family. It won't be a piece of cake when the time comes."
