Chapter 144 It's a scam
But three hundred yuan was not a lot for Xia Xian, and this time the situation was special. She just happened to be in time. There was indeed the influence of Chu Sheng and his mother. Wang Muju gave birth prematurely again. In addition, she failed to buy Xia Xian's job last time and it was snatched away by Cheng Hongying. So she was very unwilling this time and made a big fuss.
It is said that the crying child gets candy. Lei Juan felt sorry for her and prepared to ask for some benefits for the sake of family harmony.
And she won't always be like this. How could she be like what Xia Yuan said!
Thinking of this, Lei Juan became righteous again and scolded Xia Yuan.
"Xia Yuan! I'm your mother, how do you talk to your mother? Is this how you talk to your mother?"
As the saying goes, if you can't win the argument with reason, just use your status to pressure others, and Lei Juan is no exception.
Xia Yuan was very unconvinced and argued with her.
"What am I saying? I'm telling the truth!"
"You can't convince me so you start scolding me! Despicable!"
Xia Yuan was furious.
Xia Xian was originally very angry, but when she saw her brother defending her like this, she felt a little comforted and calmed down.
She pulled Xia Yuan and pushed him back.
"Xiao Yuan, let me talk, stop arguing."
"Mom, what Xiaoyuan said makes sense. I won't give her the money, and you shouldn't give it to her either. She's clearly trying to blackmail me. Giving her money is just indulging her and making her appetite grow. She knows that making a fuss is useful, so she will keep making a fuss in the future. There's no way you can live a peaceful life."
"You favor her because she gave you a grandson. But have you ever thought that your eldest sister-in-law can also give birth to children and give you a grandson? You favor your second sister-in-law this time. How will your eldest sister-in-law treat you in the future?"
"When I got married this time, my eldest sister-in-law asked you to bring me a hand-knitted scarf. At least it was thoughtful and the material was good. What about my second sister-in-law? Did she say anything to you?"
"I won't give money, and no one will give money, but I will give things to my sister-in-law. When we got married, Quan Ruifeng's relatives gave us a lot of food and daily necessities. My mother-in-law told me to deal with them all, and also prepared some things for you to take back when the time comes."
"I won't give anything to my second sister-in-law and second brother. You should give everything to my eldest brother and sister-in-law and tell them that I specifically told them to do so. Then tell my second brother and sister-in-law that if they make trouble again, they won't get anything good and won't get even a single candy from me!"
"Don't ask me to do it for my nephew's sake. The child is not born for me. Everyone can give birth to a child. My sister-in-law can, and I will be able to do it in the future. So don't use a child as a raft. It's useless!"
Xia Xian was firm in her attitude and there was no room for negotiation.
"Besides, my dad was so angry and scared them, wasn't he just trying to teach them a lesson and make them behave themselves in the future?"
"If you give in to their wishes now, all my efforts will be wasted, and I will be angry with you. You will be in trouble both inside and outside. Do you want that?"
Xia Xian patiently and persuadingly.
Of course not.
Lei Juan fell into deep thought. If this was really the case, then it would be best to listen to Xia Xian and ignore her second son and daughter-in-law.
"But she was angry and the child had no milk..."
Lei Juan was mainly worried about her grandson, so she was hesitant but still refused to give up.
"When we were little, we didn't have milk to drink, and we were lucky to have porridge and soup to drink, not to mention other things, but we still grew up the same way."
"Besides, it's her child. If they don't feel sorry for him, why should you? They are using the child to threaten you on purpose to make you feel sorry. Now you feel sorry for him not having milk to drink. When he grows up, you feel sorry for him not having books to read, not being able to eat or sleep well, and not being able to find a wife. Am I responsible for all of this? Mom, do you think it's possible?"
"If you don't care about anything, she knows you won't compromise, so she won't mess with the child anymore, and the child will suffer less. Otherwise, they will deliberately beat the child to show you in the future. Do you believe it?"
Xia Xian asked back, hasn’t she seen enough of this kind of thing?
Her eldest brother and his wife, and her second brother and his wife's wife are almost all this kind of people. They can barely share the hardships with you when you are poor, but if you become rich, they may not do anything for you, so you must deal with them well and not open this loophole.
"Mom, please think about it carefully."
"Come on, Xiaoyuan, I'll take you to visit Jing City!"
Xia Xian didn't talk to her mother anymore, and took Xia Yuan out for a walk. This was to give her time to think, but also to give her the cold shoulder and let her know that if she continued to insist, she would lose her daughter!
After Quan Ruifeng washed the sheets and tidied the room, he found that Xia Xian was not at home. He heard from Lei Juan that she had taken Xia Yuan out to play.
Why not bring Lei Juan?
Quan Ruifeng was confused, but didn't say anything and went out to look for Xia Xian.
She was not feeling well and could not walk far. As expected, Quan Ruifeng found Xia Yuan and Xia Xian eating popsicles at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative.
It's just not snowing in Beijing now, but it's still very cold, and she actually dares to eat popsicles!
Quan Ruifeng smiled.
"You're not afraid of the cold now?"
He went over and snatched Xia Xian's popsicle, and ate the remaining two bites whole, his mouth going numb from the cold.
The brother and sister's mouths are really resistant to cold.
Xia Yuan admitted her mistake quickly.
"Brother-in-law, I was wrong. I asked you to buy me the popsicles! Don't blame me."
Xia Xian looked at him with innocent eyes and said nothing.
"Eat the candied haws instead of these."
Seeing this, Quan Ruifeng couldn't bear to scold Xia Xian. He rubbed her head and went in to buy candied haws.
"My brother-in-law has a really good temper."
Xia Yuan whispered to Xia Xian that he felt his sister had found the right person.
"Is this what you call a good temper? Your definition of a good temper is a bit loose, Comrade Xia Yuan."
“But he does have a good temper.”
Xia Xian tapped his brow seriously, then smiled again, her eyes sparkling.
She wanted to say something when she suddenly saw an old man riding a bicycle in front of her fall off with a thud, and he was hit pretty hard.
Xia Yuan also looked in the direction of the sound.
"Oh, sister, someone fell!"
Xia Xian saw this and she took a step forward, wanting to help the old man. Suddenly she thought of the fraudulent means used in later generations and hesitated for a moment, stopping in her tracks.
But Xia Yuan wanted to show off in front of her sister, so she immediately went up to help the old man.
"Grandpa, why did you fall? Let me help you up!"
As he said this, he looked at Xia Xian, as if to say, "I am sensible, right?" Since it had come to this, Xia Xian didn't know what to say, so she also leaned over to help him.
Unexpectedly, he grabbed their hands. He grabbed both Xia Xian and Xia Yuan and asked angrily.
"You two bastards pushed my bike and that's why I fell! I was just wondering why something suddenly felt wrong!"
"These two kids are so naughty!"
····
It was really a scam. Xia Xian closed her eyes with a headache.
