No matter whose daughter she is, if her biological parents don't come to find her, she will definitely be an unloved girl at home.
Old Man Xia said, "I picked her up because she was well dressed. I thought she was a good money-maker. I could get some money from her parents when they came to see me. But I didn't expect that I wouldn't even see her shadow after all these years."
"Old man, we are not at a loss anyway. Besides, we asked her for 100 yuan to break off the engagement, and we made a profit by getting the jade pendant. It didn't cost us much to raise this damn girl anyway."
"Old man Xia asked if you had hidden the jade pendant well, but you must not let anyone else find it. Don't worry, it's hidden under my bed. Good things can't be found by others. That's good. Now these things can't be seen at all."
"Oh, this is really good news. Xia Yunxuan heard this and it was just as she guessed. She really is not the child of this family. She was actually picked up by old man Xia."
This way, she really had no burden at all in breaking off the engagement. If they had been nicer to her, perhaps she would have been able to repay them. It was a pity that she had missed the opportunity.
Since it was hers, she had to take it back, no matter why her biological parents didn't want her.
She still lives a good life alone. She is now 75 years old. She remembers that she will take the college entrance examination in 77, and then she will be able to leave here.
Just when Xia Yunxuan was thinking about how to leave here, the captain's voice came, "The captain asked, is the little girl still at home?"
Xia Yunxuan came out and said to the captain, "Uncle, I'm at home." "The captain said, uncle, aunt, you all come out for a while."
Hearing the captain's voice, "Old Man Xia and Old Lady He came out reluctantly. Old Lady He asked, Captain, what do you want us to come out for?"
"Auntie, don't pretend here. I'm here to talk about the little girl breaking off the engagement with you. What do you think?"
"Hmph," Old Lady He snorted, turned her head away and said nothing.
"Auntie, you can't be like this. Things have to be resolved. Do you think you can resolve them without saying anything?"
"If the little girl really does something stupid, do you think you won't be responsible?"
The captain said sternly, "Auntie, I can tell you that if anything happens to the little girl, I will not let you go first. I am definitely not saying this to scare you."
Old Lady He said, "It is absolutely impossible for that little girl to break off the engagement. We raised her to this age, it is impossible for us to raise her for nothing. Which girl doesn't want to get married? We didn't treat her badly, we just asked her to get married. She wants to die."
"Even if we take the case to the police station, we are in the right. Even if we beat her, which mother hasn't beaten her own child? Why is it not okay when it comes to us?"
The captain said, "Auntie, don't tell me this now. My family doesn't beat their children as hard as you do. Beating my family to death is called abuse, don't you know?"
Xia Yunxuan knew what her grandma was thinking, but she didn't say anything and let them perform there. Wasn't it just to make her pay? Was her money so easy to take?
The captain was really angry. His aunt was really making a fuss. She didn't make any sense and wouldn't listen to anything he said.
"Captain, you're talking about uncle, aunt, that's enough, stop making trouble, tell me, what do you want me to do to sign this divorce agreement?"
"Old Man Xia said, Captain, since the little girl is so disrespectful and wants to break off the relationship with us, we have no choice but to follow her wishes."
"She is such an impulsive and ignorant little girl, and we as adults can do nothing about it. We have to let her go out and suffer a little to see who is the best person for her."
Old Man Xia was also an acting expert. He looked at the captain and said, "Captain, we raised her to this age. It's not something that can be raised with just a bowl of rice. We gave her all the delicious food. Now that she wants to break off the engagement, you should at least give us some hard work compensation."
"Girls from other families are living well, and some send their girls to school. This is what we two old people have saved up penny by penny, and it is our coffin money."
"I didn't expect that after sending this child to school, he would become so capable that he even dared to threaten us and jump into the river. There's nothing wrong with being a butcher in that town. He gets paid every month and doesn't lack meat to eat. How many girls want to marry him but his family doesn't look down on him."
Xia Yunxuan chuckled in her heart. She said, this old man is the most insidious. All the bad things are done with the tacit approval of old woman He. Look how beautifully he said it, but in the end it was still her, Xia Yunxuan, who was ignorant.
The captain was speechless. Why hadn't he noticed before that his uncle spoke so angrily? He even imitated the old ladies in the team to be weird.
The captain said impatiently, "Don't change the subject. Let's get down to business. What exactly are you going to do to sign this severance agreement? I'm telling you, once you sign this severance agreement, you and the little girl will have nothing to do with each other. Don't use your elders' attitude to talk to me when the time comes."
"I'm busy with so many things, I don't have time to argue with you. Aren't you very capable when we quarrel? You drag your feet when I ask you to do something serious."
Old Man Xia and Old Lady He were both shameless and had no shame at all. They wanted money for real.
Old Man Xia glanced at Old Lady He, who then said, "Captain, it's not impossible for us to break off the engagement, but the little girl must pay us 100 yuan as a break-off fee. It's her who wanted to break off the engagement, so we can't be blamed. Besides, we can't have raised her up for nothing, otherwise we'll fight to the death and won't break off the engagement no matter what you say."
"Uncle, aunt, aren't you bullying the little girl? Where did she get 100 yuan to give you, said Mrs. He. We don't care. Since she wants to make up her mind, she must give the money. Otherwise, we won't agree to anything she says."
The captain looked at Xia Yunxuan again. Xia Yunxuan knew it was her turn to step in. "Captain, since grandma wants me to pay 100 yuan to break off the engagement, it's not impossible, but I have my conditions."
"The captain said, then tell me what your conditions are."
Xia Yunxuan said first, "I can't give you the money in a month. If I can't give it now and they don't agree, I will go to the police station immediately. Anyway, I am barefoot and I am not afraid of those who wear shoes."
"Second, I don't want anything from their house. I just want my household registration to be separated from theirs. From now on, our two families will have nothing to do with each other, and it would be best if we never have any contact with each other again."
"Third, you have no right to interfere in my marriage because you are my elder. If you dare to have dirty thoughts again, I will definitely chop off that person's claws, no matter who he is."
Xia Yunxuan looked at the captain and said, "Uncle Captain, when I am separated, you have to allocate a piece of land for me. I need to build a house."
