Chapter 11 Return to the Village
Before leaving, Li Hongbin took Xiaoxi back to Xiajia Village to get back the bracelet that belonged to her when she was a child.
When the jeep drove into Xiajia Village, the villagers were shocked. It was the first time they saw a jeep in their village.
The jeep raised a cloud of dust, but the children didn't care about it at all. They chased after it happily.
"Hey, which cadre is here? They are riding in a jeep." A villager stood on the side of the road with a hoe and watched the jeep driving into the village.
"Go and talk to the village chief." A villager ran away.
They saw the jeep finally stop in front of Xia Tian's blue brick house.
Xia Hui was chopping pig grass at the door, cursing as she chopped, "It's all Xia Xiaoxi's fault. She got my mother arrested and now I have to do all the housework."
When she heard the noise, she turned around and saw the jeep. She opened her mouth in surprise. When she saw Xia Xiaoxi getting out of the car, she was even more stunned. When she saw a man in military uniform also getting out of the car, she instantly remembered what her father said, that Xia Xiaoxi was taken away by her aunt by mistake, and she was actually the daughter of a soldier.
At that time, she was jealous and crazy, and asked her father if she was also taken away by mistake. After being yelled at by her father, she faced the reality and had to go to work obediently.
But since she had never seen it with her own eyes, the envy and jealousy were not that strong. But now that the jeep and the soldiers in uniform appeared in front of her, she could clearly feel the huge emotional fluctuations in her heart.
At this time, the surroundings were full of people.
The village chief also rushed over after hearing the news, and Director Zhang stood up and explained the situation.
The village chief hurriedly shook hands with them, and after a brief greeting, he said: "Wang Juhua from the Xiatian family is really embarrassing our village. She also wanted to find a husband for Xiaoxi, but at that time they were a family after all, so we couldn't say anything."
"Yes, the man who wanted to find a husband for Xiaoxi was not a good-for-nothing. It would be a waste of a lady to let Xiaoxi marry him. Now it's good, Wang Juhua has been arrested." Some villagers now knew who the person in the jeep was.
"So, people should not do bad things, isn't this retribution?"
"Xiaoxi's hard days are over."
"Yes, I usually feel sad when I see her doing so many things, and Wang Juhua only lets her eat sweet potatoes every day. Now she has a father who is an official, so she won't have to worry about the future."
The villagers talked about the excitement.
Li Hongbin heard the marriage exchange again, and he was still furious. He wished that Wang Juhua would never come out of jail.
His daughter was only fifteen years old, and she was forced to marry such a person, but Tingting lived like a little princess at home. The more he thought about it, the more sour he felt.
Director Zhang and the village chief were chatting, and Xia Xiaoxi returned to her room and took out the bracelet hidden inside as Xia Zhiyuan said.
It was just that the bracelet had lost its original color due to the long time, but the word "Li" could still be clearly seen.
There was nothing else in the room, so Xia Xiaoxi took the bracelet and put it in her pocket and came out, nodding to Li Hongbin.
Li Hongbin took the time to interrupt the conversation between Director Zhang and the village party secretary, "Village head, I heard from Xiaoxi that this house is not actually Xia Tian's, but Xia Zhiyuan's. Now that he has become an adult, should the two families be separated?" The implication was that the house should be returned to Xia Zhiyuan.
The village chief was startled, but quickly reacted and said with a smile, "It should be. I will talk to Xia Tian later. Their two families have been separated for a long time. It was because the two children were young before. Now Zhiyuan is an adult, so they should be separated. It is not a good idea to mix them together." Xia Xiaoxi had privately approached him before and said that she wanted to separate the family. He did not want to be involved with the spicy Wang Juhua, so he laughed it off. Now that Captain Li has spoken and Wang Juhua has been arrested again, he will naturally try his best to take care of the separation.
Captain Li nodded, "That's troublesome." He specifically mentioned this because he knew that Xiaoxi cared about her brother Xia Zhiyuan during the past two days.
As expected, Xiaoxi smiled happily.
Xia Xiaoxi's uncle Xia Tian heard the news from somewhere and ran over, standing aside with his hands and feet hunched.
After hearing this, he hurried forward and said, "Village Chief."
The village chief glared at him and said, "Your wife did such a thing, what else do you want to say? Don't be annoying here."
Xia Tian didn't dare to say more about the house, but she was still a little unwilling in her heart. She rolled her eyes and mustered up her courage and said to Li Hongbin, "I heard that my niece is your biological daughter. I have raised her for so many years. Even if she didn't work hard, she must have worked hard. Shouldn't you give her some money?"
"You worked hard to make my brother and I work like cows and horses for your family?" Xia Xiaoxi sneered. Now that Li Hongbin is here, she is not afraid of Xia Tian anymore.
Li Hongbin's face suddenly darkened, and he said to Xia Tian: "Since you want to settle accounts with me, then let's settle this account carefully. Your family secretly swapped my daughter, and my daughter suffered for so many years. How are you going to compensate for this? And the money I spent on your niece is far more than the money you spent on my daughter. How are you going to make up for this difference?"
Xia Tian was panicked. Asking him to pay the money would be like asking for his life. Even though he was very afraid of this soldier, he still argued at this moment: "The swap was not done by our family, but by my sister-in-law. How can we be asked to compensate? And my niece is not my biological daughter. It has nothing to do with us if she gets any benefits. How can we be asked to compensate?"
