"Hey~ Who is this?"
"Isn't this the aunt in our family who no longer recognizes her natal family after getting married?"
Xia Tian's aunt, Mrs. Li, stood at the door with a sarcastic look on her face and a pout on her face.
"Hey~ Isn't this my sneaky, cunning, and sarcastic aunt?"
Xia Tian imitated Li's tone and replied with a forced smile.
"Hahaha…"
The crowd around burst into laughter!
"You damn girl, you're asking for a beating!"
Seeing that Xia Tian dared to talk back, Li swung her arms and rushed towards Xia Tian in a rage.
Xia Tian would not stand there and get beaten. He dodged Li and missed her. He fell forward and almost fell. He staggered for several steps before he could steady himself.
Xia Tian shrugged at the crowd, "Everyone, please bear witness for me. I didn't do anything!"
Today is the day when his eldest brother is getting married, and all the neighbors in and outside the courtyard are here to help and join in the fun. Xia Tian will not get entangled with Li any more, so as not to be laughed at.
After saying that, he ignored Li and went straight into the room.
Li was so angry that she pointed at Xia Tian and couldn't say anything for a long time.
This damn girl hasn't changed at all, she still has the same bad temper.
After entering the door, I greeted familiar neighbors with a smile along the way.
The neighbors were all surprised to see that Si Ya had returned and seemed to be doing well!
I thought that since the wedding was so ugly, Si Ya would never have anything to do with the Xia family again!
But that’s true. Si Ya doesn’t get along with the Xia family, but she doesn’t have any grudge against Xia Yang. After all, Xia Yang is her biological brother, and blood is thicker than water!
Xia Tian doesn't care what her neighbors think of her.
I asked someone about Xia Yue's location and went straight to the kitchen to find her.
Unexpectedly, her mother Chen was also there.
There were a few aunts sitting in the kitchen helping to pick vegetables. When they saw Xia Tian, they quickly pushed Chen's arm and said, "Your fourth daughter is here."
Chen looked up suddenly and saw Xia Tian standing at the kitchen door looking at her.
She stood up hurriedly, wiped her hands on her apron awkwardly, forced a smile, and asked cautiously, "Si Ya, you're back?"
Xia Tian looked at Chen's helpless and somewhat flattering look, and the resentment towards the original owner's parents suddenly disappeared at this moment.
Chen was the original owner's mother. Although she was a little cowardly, she still loved the original owner.
She was not qualified to make decisions for the original owner, but she thought that the original owner did not want to see herself become estranged from her parents.
Xia Tian looked at Chen, who was looking at him anxiously like a child who had done something wrong, and sighed inwardly, "Mom, I'm back."
"Hey hey!" Chen responded repeatedly, turned around inconspicuously and wiped her eyes with her apron.
Xia Tian greeted the aunts who came to help, looked around, and didn't see Xia Yue, "Mom, where is my sister?"
"Your sister is cleaning fish in the backyard!"
"I'm going to find my sister." Xia Tian said and turned to go to the backyard.
"Xia Yang's mother, now that your daughter Si Ya can come back, it seems that she no longer blames you. You can finally rest assured." The aunts in the kitchen saw Xia Tian leave and hurried to comfort Chen.
These aunts all have a good relationship with Chen and understand her thoughts.
"Yes." Chen responded happily. Si Ya finally agreed to call her mother.
Ever since she hit her head that day, she never spoke to her mother again.
She also knew that Si Ya must be blaming her for not being able to protect her.
When she went back to her parents' home three days later, she waited for the whole day but Si Ya didn't come back. She knew that this girl probably didn't want to be in this family anymore.
The last time Xia Yang went to Si Ya's in-laws' house, she came back and said that Si Ya was doing well. Although her son-in-law was in poor health, he was also a reasonable person. She felt a little relieved.
The fact that Si Ya can come back this time means that she still cares about them, and she can finally rest assured.
When Xia Tian entered the backyard, he saw Xia Yue squatting on the ground cleaning fish. When he got closer, he saw that they were all small fish only as long as fingers.
Who would use these little fish to cook at a wedding?
"Sister, why are you cleaning this?"
Xia Yue heard the voice and looked up, "Si Ya? You're back?"
She looked at Xia Tian in surprise, "Why are you in the backyard? I'll clean it up quickly."
"I heard you were here, so I came over. Sister, this won't be served soon, right?" Xia Tian came over and squatted next to Xia Yue.
Xia Yue sighed, "Grandma said we have no money left, so we won't buy fish. We want to save as much as possible, so we let my brother catch these in the river."
Xia Tian knew it was like this. When it was their second branch's turn, they were very stingy. They were just bullying their honest second branch.
Alas, if the second branch wants to live a good life, it still has to find a way to divide the family property.
But Old Lady Xia is not stupid. How could she let go of such an obedient main labor force so easily? If she wants to divide the family business, it will be a long road!
Xia Tian didn't worry about it anymore. The status of their second branch in the Xia family was never higher.
Just look at Xia Yang’s wedding today, his mother was helping in the kitchen, so you can imagine.
Whose son's wedding, the mother personally cooks the food? I didn't see anyone from the first or third wife helping out.
Honest people are always the ones who are bullied the most.
Xia Tian put down the backpack and helped Xia Yue pack up.
Xia Yang and his family went to pick up the bride. Xia Tian asked Xia Yue, "Where are Xia Shi and Xia Chen?"
"Xia Shi went with big brother to pick up the bride. I guess grandma sent Wu Ya to pick pig grass."
Wu Ya is Xia Chen.
I really admire Old Lady Xia!
After cleaning the fish, Xia Tian and Xia Yue moved the basin to the kitchen together. The chef had already arrived and was directing people to prepare the dishes.
When farmers hold banquets, they usually invite the village’s best cooks to prepare the food. The food tastes good and the prices are affordable.
The chef invited by the Xia family today is the wife of Xia Tianrui, the best cook in Xiajia Village, known as Aunt Rui.
Aunt Rui looked at the basin of baby fish that Xia Yue brought over and asked in confusion, "Xia Yang's mother, is this the fish for today?"
Chen smiled embarrassedly, "Aunt He Rui, my mother-in-law said that there is not much money at home, so this is the only thing she can do to make up the difference."
"Oh, Auntie is really..." Aunt Rui shook her head and said nothing more, but in her heart she looked down upon Old Lady Xia even more.
Just last month, he sold someone's daughter for thirty taels of silver. Today, his son is getting married, but he didn't even give him a whole fish. How disrespectful.
The second son of the Xia family is also a wimp. Even in this situation, he still listens to Old Lady Xia.
If a man cannot stand up for himself, his wife and children will also be bullied.
Aunt Rui was an outsider and didn't want to meddle in other people's affairs, so she turned and went into the kitchen.
In the summer, when you hear the sound of suona coming from afar, you know that the bride's family is about to return.
Although farmers don’t have a sedan chair carried by eight people, they still have to have a suona to welcome the bride.
Of course, Xia Tian’s marriage was an exception. After all, she wasn’t getting married properly, she just wanted to make it sound nicer.
Soon, the bride and her family arrived at the door.
Amid the noise of children and neighbors, Xia Yang took the bride through the ceremony. The bride went to the prepared new house, and Xia Tian took Xia Yue to see his new sister-in-law.
