Chapter 339 Seen
Xia Zhizhi held Xia Zhuoyue's hand with a look of reluctance, and said tenderly, "Third brother, don't beat them too hard. It's New Year's Day, and it will have a bad impact."
Seeing that his sister had suffered such a great injustice but was still so considerate, Xia Zhuoyue's fists became even harder.
The Song family members looked at Xia Zhizhi, then at Xia Zhuoran who had rolled up his sleeves and was ready to beat them up, and their faces suddenly turned pale.
Xia Zhizhi, this little beast, looks so weak and fragile, and seems to be easy to control. He usually pretends to be a white lotus and looks harmless, but in fact, he never tells the truth.
But once they turn against each other and start fighting, they immediately turn into Subduing Tiger Arhat. I don't know what they ate, but they are so strong, they are really worse than beasts!
No matter what they said, the Xia family was unwilling to admit the incident. As for reporting it to the police, they didn't need to say it, as they had already done it.
Seeing that Xia Zhuoyue was about to rush over to beat them, the Song family did not have the skill to earn medical expenses by getting beaten, so they could only slip away decisively.
After the Song family had left, Xia Zhizhi was still acting like a drama queen. She had a sullen face and looked unhappy. She blamed herself and said, "If I had known I wouldn't have gone to their house yesterday. If I hadn't gone, maybe they wouldn't have gotten themselves into this state. It hurts to see them like this."
Zeng Zelan hugged her distressedly and said, "They just suffered some minor injuries, but our Zhizhi was really wronged.
"I don't agree with this marriage." Zeng Zelan glared at Xia Bangguo with resentment: "I don't know what to say about the Song family now. No matter what others say, as long as I am still alive, I will never let our Zhizhi marry into their family."
After hearing Zeng Zelan say this, Xia Zhizhi's face changed. How could that be possible? She still wanted to continue playing.
She held Zeng Zelan's hand and said, "With our current status, it's not appropriate for us to break the contract. It will have a bad impact. I don't think the Song family is very satisfied with me. Let's wait a little longer. We're not going to get married right away anyway. Who knows, they might cancel the engagement by then."
It took Xia Zhizhi much persuasion before Zeng Zelan agreed to postpone the event.
Xia Zhizhi was exhausted from all the persuasion, and she sighed slightly to maintain her image.
Xia Zhuoran, the second brother who looked upright, stepped forward and tried to slow down his tone, saying, "Don't be unhappy, sister. I brought you some small things. They are all local specialties, including pearls of various strange shapes, tortoise shells, and corals. I heard from my comrades that their sisters like these, and when they are resting, they run around the nearby villages to find people to exchange them for them."
After hearing this, Xia Zhizhi no longer felt any pain in her waist or legs, and she could no longer pretend to be depressed.
Her eyes sparkled, and she tried her best not to laugh too happily. She said with full energy, "Thank you, second brother. Where is the thing? I want to see it!"
Seeing her beaming with joy, the Xia family did not think she was pretending. They just thought she was just a child, very naive, and her attention was easily diverted.
Xia Zhuoran took out the things. It was a really big bag. There were dozens of thumb-sized, irregular-shaped pearls.
There are all kinds of shapes, such as butterflies, leaves, petals, and some that look like small animals, all of which were carefully selected by Xia Zhuoran.
One of the pink pearls looks like a sitting cat, very cute.
Xia Zhizhi saw it at first sight, picked it up, held it in her palm and admired it for a long time. It would be so cute when it was made into a necklace!
Seeing that Xia Zhizhi liked it, Xia Zhuoran was also very happy. After all, he did spend a lot of effort in choosing these things, and his purpose was to make his sister laugh. Now that his goal was achieved, he was naturally relieved.
Xia Zhuoyue also prepared a gift for her, which was a few pieces of Hetian jade seeds.
The current environment does not allow for openly displaying these jewelry, but everyone knows that these things will come in handy sooner or later. When Xia Zhizhi returns home, she will naturally not lack food and drink. Local specialties and the like can be sent once to give them a taste, but it is definitely not appropriate to use them as a meeting gift.
The two brothers put a lot of thought into this gift.
Xia Zhizhi always pretends to be extremely happy, looking at this, touching that, and being equally pleased.
She clasped her hands in front of her chest and raised her head, as if the haze had disappeared, and smiled brightly: "In the past, when I saw other people's brothers being kind to their sisters, I was very envious. Now I have brothers of my own, second brother, third brother, you are so kind to me, I am so happy!"
Hearing her say this, several people in the Xia family who knew the situation felt a pang in their hearts and felt even more sympathetic towards her.
Seeing that Xia Zhizhi was completely coaxed, Zeng Zelan said, "It's getting late, and our Zhizhi is already hungry, let's eat!"
The dinner was very sumptuous. All the dishes available in the market were on the table. The chef’s cooking skills were always top-notch and the taste was excellent. Xia Zhizhi was very satisfied with this meal.
After dinner, Zeng Zelan asked the two brothers to stay here for two days, and then move back to Yuer Hutong when their uncle from Hailai's family came back.
After all, they haven't seen each other for a long time, and it's normal for grandpa and grandma to miss their grandson and want to keep him around to spend some time together.
In the evening, the two brothers Xia Zhuoran and Xia Zhuoyue looked after Xia Zhizhi and Xia Qingqing, and the four siblings chatted about family matters for a while.
The two brothers were of relatively upright character and did not use sweet words to please their sister. They just asked about her life and Xia Qingqing's work, and talked about their own work and some interesting things in the army.
As long as there is a topic to talk about, the conversation will basically never get dull. Grandpa Xia was happy to see the brothers and sisters getting along well. They chatted for more than an hour when there was a knock on the door.
As soon as the person entered the room, Xia Zhuoran stood up to greet him.
The man is called Zhuang Ning, Xia Zhuoran's childhood friend. They grew up playing together naked, and they are so close that they can even wear the same pair of pants.
Knowing that his good brother was going home today, Zhuang Ning came to see him after dinner.
Zhuang Ning patted Xia Zhuoran on the shoulder and looked him up and down: "You've grown stronger again. When you come back from this trip, your family should have found a partner for you, right?"
Gay men often joke about this. Finding a wife is a perennial topic among them. It's okay to discuss it in private, but my family is here now. Xia Zhuoran was a little embarrassed and coughed lightly: "Let's not talk about this. My sister and my younger sister are here."
Zhuang Ning knew Xia Qingqing, so he didn't need an introduction and greeted her directly: "Sister Qingqing is back too. I was so happy to see Zhuoran that I didn't notice you for a while. Don't blame me!"
After Zhuang Ning finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Xia Zhizhi who was standing next to Xia Qingqing.
Xia Qingqing introduced him: "This is our fourth child, who just came home not long ago. Her name is Xia Zhizhi."
Zhuang Ning looked at Xia Zhizhi and felt that she looked familiar. He frowned slightly and thought for a while. Zhuang Ning had a good memory since he was a child. In addition, Xia Zhizhi was beautiful, so it was easy for people to remember her. Zhuang Ning remembered her quickly.
He smiled at Xia Zhizhi and said, "Hello, Sister Zhizhi. We met on the train before. Do you still remember us?"
