"What are you talking about?" Xia Yue slapped Xia Tian's arm in annoyance. "There was an earthquake in Linzhou, and we were almost dying of worry. And you actually sent someone to say that it was nothing and told us not to worry."
Xia Yang had just returned home at that time. Although they felt something when the Linzhou earthquake occurred, they didn't think too much about it.
It was more than ten days later when they found out that the earthquake occurred in Linzhou.
Xia Yang wanted to come over at that time, but before he could leave, he received a letter sent by Xia Tian, saying that nothing was wrong and asked them not to worry.
Xia Yang thought the earthquake was not serious, so he didn't take it seriously.
It was not until I met someone from the government later that I learned that almost half of the houses in Sangluo City had collapsed in the earthquake.
Xia Yang was shocked. When they got home and told them about it, they couldn't sit still anymore and decided that they had to come over to take a look to feel at ease.
"It's nothing, I'm fine!" Xia Tian laughed and held Xia Yue's hand.
"Hmph, if you hadn't sent someone to deliver the letter, we would have come to see you a long time ago." Xia Yue glared at her.
"That's right, fourth sister, you don't know. At that time, my eldest brother heard from the government that the earthquake in Sangluo City was very serious. His steps were unsteady when he came back. He was afraid that you would only report the good news and not the bad news." Xia Chen also added.
"Okay, it's Fourth Sister's fault!" Xia Tian quickly admitted her mistake.
But she feels sweet inside. It’s a good thing that someone cares about her and treats her as a family member!
"Fourth sister, if it weren't for my eldest brother stopping us, my parents, my younger brother, and my sister-in-law would all come to see you." Xia Chen continued.
When Xia Yang told his family that he was worried about Xia Tian and had to come over to check on him, his family wanted to come with him.
Xia Yang said that he didn't know what was going on, and that someone needed to look after the family business, so he asked his parents to stay.
And her sister-in-law didn't come because she had to take care of the business and look after her three-year-old nephew.
It took Xia Yang a long time to persuade Xia Shi to give up the idea of coming to Linzhou.
Because he will take the exam next year, now is a critical moment.
Xia Tian listened to Xia Chen chattering about family matters, smiling and nodding constantly, and interrupting to ask about the situation.
He didn't let Xia Chen go until he had informed everyone in the family.
"Sister, now that you're here, what will happen to the child? Did your brother-in-law ask you to come?" Xia Tian was still a little worried about Xia Yue.
After all, this is the ancient times, an era of male superiority and female inferiority. Xia Yue left her husband and child behind and went away for such a long time. I wonder if her in-laws will make things difficult for her?
"Don't worry, everyone in my brother-in-law's family listens to me now." Before Xia Yue could say anything, Xia Chen took over quickly.
Xia Tian raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Is Big Sister so powerful now?"
Xia Chen nodded, "Eldest sister has the final say in her family now."
Xia Yue patted Xia Chen embarrassedly and said, "Don't talk nonsense. It was your brother-in-law who gave in to me."
Xia Tian's eyes sparkled as he stared at the two of them with a curious look.
Seeing that her elder sister had no objection, Xia Chen told Xia Tian the whole story.
It turned out that Xia Yue knew the recipe for braised food. After Xia Yang moved away, she first did business in the town. Later, when Old Mrs. Xia became too noisy, she moved to the county town with her eldest brother-in-law.
Later, when the business grew bigger, she brought her husband's family into the business. At that time, her brother-in-law's younger brother was a little jealous of them, and her parents-in-law also sided with her younger brother. Xia Yue said that if they wanted her to take out the recipe and do business together, then she would simply quit the business. At worst, they could go home and farm together.
Later, her parents-in-law were afraid that they would not be able to earn the money if they returned, so they divided the inheritance among their brothers.
They followed Xia Yue and others so that they could earn a salary and support their sons.
Seeing that the other person was obedient, Xia Yue did not act so cruelly. She even asked her brother-in-law's younger brothers and sisters to help and paid them wages.
Now everyone in the family knows Xia Yue’s confidence and dares not cause any trouble.
After hearing this, Xia Tian couldn't help but give Xia Yue a thumbs up, "Big sister is awesome!"
At that time, she was worried that Xia Yue was too weak and would be bullied by her in-laws, but she didn't expect that the little white rabbit had grown up.
"Stop it!" Xia Yue's face turned red when she praised her.
In fact, she knew that the reason she could live her current life was because of her fourth sister. Her in-laws also knew that she had a brother-in-law who was a high-ranking official, so they dared not bully her.
That's why she can live such a comfortable life.
Xia Tian was naturally happy to hear that everyone in his family was doing well.
After a while, Xia Yang also came in!
This is the outer room, it’s okay for Xia Yang to come in.
"Brother, is everything settled?" Xia Tian asked quickly when he saw him come in.
They talked for a long time before Xia Yang came in.
"Everything is settled, don't worry about it." Xia Yang replied while sitting on the chair.
"Fourth sister, are you really okay? Where's your brother-in-law?"
Xia Yang asked when he didn't see Shen Nian when he came in.
He entered Sangluo City today and found signs of repairs everywhere. It seemed that the previous earthquake had indeed caused a lot of damage.
"I'm really fine. Your brother-in-law went to the yamen and won't be back until the evening." Shen Nian has been busy making potato starch recently and has to work until very late every day.
Seeing that Xia Yang was about to say something else, he quickly changed the subject, "Brother, those two braised food shops were also severely damaged at the time, and one of the employees was seriously injured, but he recovered later. The current shop has only been open for a few days."
Xia Tian recounted everything that happened after the earthquake.
The three of them were terrified to hear it.
"Look at you, you're pregnant and still running to save people, who are you trying to scare to death?" Xia Yang couldn't help but complain when he heard Xia Tian carrying people to save people despite her big belly.
