The family chatted happily for a while. Originally, Xia Jin wanted to take them out for dinner in the evening, but they were unwilling. Finally, Grandpa Xia decided to buy some vegetables and cook them himself, which was cheap and large in quantity.
The main reason is that Grandpa Xia and his family feel that they eat too much and it costs a lot of money to eat out. Besides, they have pots and tools at home, and everyone knows how to cook. It’s not worth going out to eat. It’s much more economical to cook at home.
No matter what Xia Jin said, she was never as stubborn as her grandfather. If Xia Jin wanted to do it herself, then let her do it herself. Anyway, they would definitely not listen if she didn't let them do it.
Xia Jin and the other younger generations went out to buy things. Although they were eating at home, Xia Jin didn't want to be too stingy, so he bought pork, ribs, beef, chicken, and fish and filled his eldest brother's backpack.
Compared with the meat, the amount of vegetables bought was much less. Xia Jin first bought some of the ones without oil and salt, as well as various seasonings, until his second cousin's backpack was full.
After buying the things, Xia Jin and her cousin walked in front, and the three of them walked behind. Xia Jin chatted with her cousin as they walked, and asked about the information of her future brother-in-law in a roundabout way.
Along the way, Xia Jin learned that his future brother-in-law and aunt lived in a village further south, and that everyone in the family was honest and hardworking. Seeing the way his sister talked about him, Xia Jin thought that his sister seemed to be quite satisfied with him.
The betrothal gift was given generously, and their family members were all very nice and kind.
The two met through a blind date. He was older and in a hurry to get married, so they got engaged after just a few days of being together. For some reason, Xia Jin felt uncomfortable when she heard what her sister said.
But before she could figure out the reason, she arrived home. Xia Jin had no choice but to put the matter behind her. After all, she had her aunt and others, who would not let her sister suffer any harm.
But when those things happened later, Xia Jin regretted it so much. She hated herself for not thinking more about it at that time. It was obviously wrong, but she let it go lightly.
But Xia Jin didn't know it now. She was happily busy in the kitchen with her aunt, helping them.
Xia Jin and the others carried the things into the house and unloaded them. Grandpa Xia looked at the things in the basket and sighed silently. This granddaughter of his was a good person. She took them to a restaurant, but she thought the restaurant was too expensive, so she bought the food and cooked it herself.
She bought so many things, including pieces of meat, and she didn't want to treat them badly at all.
Aunt Xia and Aunt Xia looked at the vegetables and meat and started cooking. Aunt Xia took out the noodles bought by Xia Jin and started making steamed buns.
Aunt Xia cooked the dishes, and Aunt Xia cooked the meal. At around seven o'clock in the evening, Xia Jin finally had dinner. The steamed buns made from the pure white flour Xia Jin bought were white and soft, and looked very tempting.
Aunt Xia made cabbage stewed with pork belly, braised fish, chicken stewed with mushrooms, and also fried a few vegetarian dishes. When they were all served to the table, it was full. When Grandpa Xia started to eat, everyone also picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
After finishing her meal, Xia Jin hurried home. When she got home, Gu Jingmo had already returned. Xia Jin looked at Gu Jingmo in the living room and said, "Have you eaten yet? You didn't even tell me you were back."
Gu Jingmo said, "I've already eaten. I thought about you reuniting with your family, so I didn't disturb you."
"Are you free tomorrow?"
"have."
"Come with me tomorrow. You haven't met my aunt yet. I'll introduce them to you."
Gu Jingmo nodded and said, "How are you today?"
Xia Jin said excitedly, "That's great! You didn't see me beat Liu Xiu and his group so hard they had no chance to fight back. Liu Xiu and her group's faces were all swollen."
"We've publicized all the little things going on in their family. I wonder how they'll ever be able to face people again."
Xia Jin told Gu Jingmo everything about how they beat up Liu Xiu and the others today and how miserable they were. Looking at the smile on her face, even a fool could see that she was very happy.
On the other side, Grandpa Xia watched his grandson send Xia Jin back, then called everyone out and said, "We're almost done with our business. We've spent so much money here, I think we should go home tomorrow and not bother Xiao Jin here anymore."
Uncle Xia said, "We all listen to your father. You make the decision."
Grandpa Xia continued, "It costs money to live here and eat. Xiaojin is so busy, but she still takes time out to spend time with us. It's not good to always cause trouble for her."
Aunt Xia said, "That's right."
"Then I'll talk to Xiao Jin tomorrow, and we'll set off. Everyone should pack up and get ready."
After that, everyone went back to their rooms and started packing their things, preparing to go home tomorrow.
When they packed up and were about to go to bed, they didn't know that what happened in front of the Xia family's door today had been fermenting for an entire afternoon, and the news was spreading farther and farther by word of mouth.
The more outrageous a rumor is, the more it will be spread.
For example, there are already four or five versions of this incident among the public, one of which goes like this:
"Have you heard that the Xia family at the furniture factory was beaten up?"
"Why?"
"I heard that the family married a daughter-in-law with a child. Now that the child has grown up, the Xia family wants to marry her off to an old man in exchange for a betrothal gift. But the father of the daughter-in-law found out about it, and he brought his relatives to the door to make trouble."
"Well played, what's that?"
"It's said that his father isn't from our area, far to the north, so this family dared to abuse their daughter like this. But unexpectedly, the family still loves children. After the child told him about this, they immediately brought their relatives across the city to seek justice."
The more accurate one is:
"Hey, did you hear that a worker from our county's furniture factory was blocked in his home and beaten up? I heard he was beaten pretty badly."
"You've heard it too. If you ask me, they deserve it."
"How do you say that?"
"Don't you know? I heard that the woman in their family gave birth to a child when she went to the countryside. When she returned to the city, she desperately tried to snatch the child away from the father."
"After snatching the child away, they didn't treat her well. They and her current husband's family treated her like a servant, and then kicked her out when she turned 18."
"This girl is quite capable. She was kicked out penniless, but she started out by setting up a small stall. Later, she made money and opened several stores, and her business is booming."
"Somehow her mother's family found out about this, and her mother started making a scene. The little girl had no choice but to use various methods to find her father."
"Once I tell them about this and hear how much my daughter has suffered, how could they let them off so easily?"
