They asked again and again, and Xia Pinren did not get impatient and continued to talk to them over and over again until it was dark and time for dinner, then they dispersed.
When Xia Pinren returned home, dinner had already been prepared. Thinking about what happened today, he happily ate an extra bowl of rice. His brother was finally proud of himself.
The other people in the Xia family were the same as Xia Pinren. Aunt Xia originally wanted to go out to buy something, but she was stopped as soon as she walked out of the door. They held her there and talked to her for the whole afternoon.
However, there were also many people who couldn't stand the Xia family doing well and would say some slanderous words about Xia Jin. Gradually, the news spread among the people in the village who disliked the Xia family, but they didn't feel proud for too long.
He was shocked by Grandpa Xia and the others. It turned out that Xia Pinren returned home and thought about what happened in the afternoon. He thought he should remind his younger brother. If this news really got out one day, how would Xiaojin return to the village?
So the next day he went to his brother's house again and told him all these things one by one. Grandpa Xia immediately became angry and called his three brothers, and their sons and grandsons went to Xia Pindong's house.
A group of tall, burly men, holding shovels and other objects, stood at the door, startling Xia Pindong as he came out to open it. Looking at the crowd, Xia Pindong trembled and said, "You...what are you doing?"
Grandpa Xia stood at the door and said with a smile: "What are we going to do? Why don't you go home and ask your wife what good things she has done."
Then he stood at the door and repeated everything his wife had said yesterday, and then cursed her for about ten minutes with full force, which attracted all the neighbors to come out.
Everyone gathered around them to watch the fun. Many people had long disliked their family. The old woman had a foul mouth and said everything. Even if there was nothing wrong, she would make trouble for you. She was really hateful.
There were people who were good friends with Xia Pindong's family and wanted to go up and help, but when they heard about this matter, they gave up the idea of helping and quietly retreated.
They hoped that Grandpa Xia and his family couldn't see them. After all, they had said these words behind their backs. They usually spoke ill of others together, but the others never came to their door. Who knew that Grandpa Xia's family would be so cruel this time and beat them up directly.
Grandpa Xia and his men's actions served as a wake-up call to them. From then on, whenever something involved their family, they would always think twice before acting. After all, everyone was afraid of them doing that.
When Xia Pindong's family members heard the noise outside, they all came out of the house. The old woman looked at Grandpa Xia and the others at the door and immediately knew what had happened.
When she said that yesterday, she was only thinking about her own pleasure and never expected that it would be like this today. She hid behind and dared not show up, fearing that Grandpa Xia would hit her in the face with a shovel.
After Grandpa Xia finished scolding, he ordered people to tear down their door. Anyone who dared to step forward to stop them would be beaten. At first, their son blocked the way, but after being slapped twice by Grandpa Xia and his men, he gave way.
Their family watched helplessly as their door was demolished, but they were powerless to do anything. After all, there was a reason why they came to their door, and it was they who started it first.
Later, the village chief came and took the old woman to apologize to Grandpa Xia and his family, and the matter was finally resolved. After this incident, the conflict between the two families became even greater.
Looking at the mess at the door, they hated Grandpa Xia so much that their teeth were itching, but they didn't dare to cause trouble, so they could only curse them in their hearts.
The old woman sat on the ground, looking at the demolished gate of her house, and cried out in pain: "Damn it, my door, you are bullying me."
But no one cared about her. After Grandpa Xia and the others left, the crowd dispersed. The old woman howled on the ground for a while, and when she saw that no one paid any attention to her, she got up and went home in shame.
After this incident, no one dared to spread rumors about Xia Jin in public anymore. If they had any ideas, they would only think about them in their hearts and would not dare to say them openly. They were all afraid of being beaten up like Xia Xiangdong's family.
But as long as they don't say anything openly, Grandpa Xia and the others don't care what they think in their hearts. They can think whatever they want. Anyway, they can only think about it and don't care whether it will have any practical impact on their granddaughter.
After this incident, everyone said that Grandpa Xia's family had become rich and powerful. They would never dare to do this before. They were just happy to have such a good granddaughter.
Someone else said that if her child was so capable, and someone in the village said the same thing about her, she would do the same. The villagers gradually changed their attitude towards their family.
All the reasonable villagers thought that Grandpa Xia's family was right, but there were a few unreasonable families who looked down on their behavior but did not dare to say anything.
Grandpa Xia led a group of people back home and gave each family a bag of brown sugar to thank them for coming to support him today. He also gave some milk candies to those who had children at home.
These were all bought by Xia Jin for him to eat or as gifts. The countryside is a society of personal relationships. People have gone to great lengths to follow you to seek justice, so you can't treat them unfairly.
It's okay if it happens once or twice, but if it happens too many times, they will definitely not be happy about it, and the friendship between the two families will disappear. In the future, no one will invite you to weddings or funerals.
They won't help if anything happens at your own home, so even the closest relatives need to maintain their care. You can't just order others to do this and that just because they are relatives.
Everyone was very happy to receive the things given by Grandpa Xia. Originally, they came because they were relatives and because of Xia Jin. Xia Jin is successful now, and maybe they will need help from him in the future.
So it is important to maintain relationships. They helped her father and grandfather, so if something good happens in the future, maybe they will still think of them.
This was their own fate, but the child was still young, so they wanted to find a way out for him. They didn't necessarily want anything in return, but just wanted Xia Jin to remember them.
Which family is not selfish? It's just that they know their limits. They won't ask Xia Jin to arrange jobs for them, nor will they ask Xia Jin to give them money. They just hope that Xia Jin will think of them in the future and think of them first when there are positions suitable for them.
It's selfish but harmless. Grandpa Xia also knows their private messages, but he is smart enough not to make promises casually. He leaves everything to his granddaughter.
Although they are all my brothers' children, they are not as important as my granddaughter. If my granddaughter really has this idea, I will definitely recommend them to her.
If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to tell her. After all, it's not easy for his little granddaughter to be alone, and he can't cause her more trouble for outsiders.
