After lunch, Xia Jin went home and took out a few thousand yuan from his space, preparing to give it to Xia's father and others so that they could go home and rebuild the house.
He took the money and went back to where Grandpa Xia and his family lived. Grandpa Xia looked at Xia Jin who had returned and asked, "Xiao Jin, why are you back again? Did you forget to bring anything?"
Xia Jin smiled and said, "No, I just forgot to give you the things I prepared for you earlier. I brought them to you now and you can take them back tomorrow."
Xia Jin took out the money she had prepared in her pocket and handed it to Grandpa Xia. Grandpa Xia looked at the stack of money handed to him by his granddaughter and repeatedly refused: "Xiao Jin, take this money and spend it yourself. Everything here costs money. You should keep it for yourself. Your father and I don't need much money in the countryside. We have everything down there. We don't have to spend money on our own crops."
Father Xia also said, "Yes, Xiaojin, we haven't spent all the money you gave us before. How can we take your money again this time?"
"We're in the country, we don't have to spend money on anything, so you can keep this money for yourself."
Xia Jin smiled and said, "Dad, take this money. It's for building a house for you. If it weren't for me, how could you still be living in a house like that after all these years? It's okay if you didn't know about it before."
"Now I know why I can't let you continue to live in a house like that. So, just keep this money. You don't have to worry about me not having money. I can make a lot of money every day in my store."
Grandpa Xia said with some distress: "How can you be blamed for the things that happened to Xiaojin? You were just a child at that time. What could you do? It was all because of Liu Xiu. You don't have to blame yourself."
Father Xia patted his chest and said, "That's right, my daughter, take the money back quickly. Look at your father's physique. He can still make money now. Don't worry, when I make money, I will definitely build our house big and beautiful."
"When you come back, you'll have a place to live. Dad will definitely build you a big room and clean it for you."
Xia Jin smiled and said, "Then Dad, you should accept my money. Otherwise, when I go back this summer, I won't have a place to live. Don't you want me to go back this summer?"
When Xia Jin heard what Father Xia said, he stammered, "No, I just think you are still young and it is not easy to make money. How can I keep spending your money?"
"Dad, we are a family. Do we have to be so clear about the differences? Don't you even consider me as your daughter?"
Father Xia said nervously: "No, Dad didn't mean that..."
Xia Jin said, "In that case, just take the money. If you don't take it, I won't treat you as your daughter. Besides, Dad gave all the money you earned last year to Liu Xiu. There's nothing to do in the village now. How are you going to make money?"
"Besides, I earn money to spend, to give to my family and friends. If you don't spend it, what's the point of earning so much money, right?"
Grandpa Xia heard his granddaughter say this and said, "Son, just take it. We can't let the child down. If Xiaojin comes back during the summer vacation, we really won't be able to earn enough money to build a house."
"Since this is a gift from your child, you should take it, son. This way, when Xiaojin comes back, he will have a comfortable place to stay, so you don't have to stay in a guesthouse in town because you have no place to stay at home."
When Xia Jin heard his grandfather say this, he quickly handed the money to Grandpa Xia and said with a smile: "Grandpa, I will give the money to you. You must supervise the workers who are building the house and make sure they build a solid house."
"Let's also stand out and build a two-story house so that those who look down on our house can have a good look at it and show off to them."
"The house must have a separate bathroom so that everyone can take a shower conveniently. I'll draw a blueprint for you later and have them build it according to the blueprint."
Grandpa Xia said with a smile: "Build two floors, it doesn't need to be so big, give us half of the money, and we can build one floor, how can we build two floors so extravagant."
"Oh, Grandpa, just listen to me. We have to build it all at once. Two floors would be great. After it's finished, uncle and aunt can move in with you and stay with you."
Grandpa Xia said, "There's no need to build a two-story house. The Wang family in the next village who made a fortune in the south built a two-story house. They were the first family in the area. If we build a house like that, wouldn't it be too conspicuous?"
"What's the big deal? Your granddaughter can earn money, so why not let your family live a better life? Let others envy you, and let some of them say bad things about our family behind our backs."
Grandpa Xia patted Xia Jin's shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's build two floors. Let others envy me, an old man, for being able to enjoy the blessing of a granddaughter when I am old."
Uncle Xia smiled and said, "Let everyone in the village see how promising our Xia family's granddaughter is. Let them be envious and stop them from gossiping in front of you and your brother all day long."
"They say daughters are useless. Sooner or later, they will belong to someone else's family. This time, let them see that the boy they treasure is not as promising as a girl like Xiaojin. Let's see if they still have the nerve to talk nonsense in front of you two."
Aunt Xia said, "Dad, I've always disliked those families up there. Every time we run into them, they lecture us, as if we're stupid for spending money on Xiaojin."
"They also said that if my second brother's family doesn't have any more children, the family property will eventually belong to Yan Jun and Yan Bing in a few decades. It's really annoying. I want to beat them up."
Old Master Xia clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's build it when we get back. Let them all see it well, and our Xia family will be proud of itself in the village."
Father Xia said, "Listen to your dad."
Grandpa Xia continued, "But let's make it clear first. The money for building this house was paid by Xiaojin. After I'm a hundred years old, this house will belong to Xiaojin. No one is allowed to have any improper thoughts."
"Xiao Jin let you live there and helped her brothers find jobs. We must learn to be content and not have any unnecessary thoughts. No matter whether Xiao Jin comes back to live here in the future or how rich she becomes, this house is hers."
