“Alright, alright, stop crying. It’s embarrassing. People who don’t know will think that I’m bullying you. Hurry up and get up. If you don’t want to be searched, then so be it.”
Li Jin looked at Xia Wan impatiently and turned to go back into the room first. Xia Ye also followed Li Jin back to the room.
In the room, Xia Ye said unwillingly, ‘Grandma, you’re just going to let Xia
Wan go? She must have earned a lot of money. We still have to investigate.”
Li Jin’s face was also filled with unhappiness. you saw it too. There are so many people watching. What can I do? She’s already knelt down, and I still have to continue searching her? I’m old, and I care about my reputation too. My reputation has been good for so many years. Are we going to ruin it because of Xia Wan now?”
Xia Ye pouted. She thought Li Jin must’ve thought too highly of her. She did not have any reputation all these years, but Xia Ye did not dare to say these words in front of Li Jin. She was the head of the family, and Li Jin had the final say.
“Xia Wan is a b*tch,” Li Jin growled. “It’s fine if she doesn’t hand over the money she earned, but Xia hai wants to separate from me because of her. I’m his mother, and it wasn’t easy for me to raise him. How dare he treat me like this?”
Xia Ye knew that Li Jin was unhappy with Xia Hai, so she immediately said,
“Grandma, only third uncle would think that way. We don’t have such thoughts. Before I get married, I’ll always be a part of the family and listen to you. If I earn on my own, I’ll definitely give the money to you.
Anyway, Xia Ye was not going to work, so she naturally chose to say nice things,
Li Jin was indeed thrilled by Xia Ye’s coaxing, and she smiled. “It seems that you’re a sensible girl, unlike that Xia Wan, who pisses people off everyday.”
While Xia Ye and Li Jin badmouthed Xia Wan, Yan Han escorted Xia Wan back to her room.
Xia Wan and the others were silent in the room, especially Xia Hai. He lowered his head, not knowing how to face his family.
Xia Wan knew that she had to use this opportunity to make her father realize Li Jin’s bias and the fact that he would have to part with the family sooner or later. Although she proposed parting with the family today, she also knew it was an impulsive decision. In fact, Xia Hai did not want to part with the family.
In Xia Hail s heart, Li Jin was his family, and so were his two brothers. He believed that family should help each other. Even if they had conflicts daily, they would still be united when something really happened.
Xia Wan looked at Xia Hai and said, “Dad, you’ve seen grandma’s attitude today. She doesn’t want us to have a single cent in our hands. Tell me, if grandma knows that I’ve earned so much money, do you think she’ll still keep it?”
I have to go to school sooner or later. I’ll leave the selling of clothes to brother, and even you and mom. Can you really coax grandma?”
Xia Hai sighed. I understand what you’re saying, but she’s still my mother. No one in our village has ever moved out of the house. Just now, when I suggested moving out, your grandmother rejected me.
Xia Wan looked at him and asked, “Dad, why do you think grandma doesn’t want to move out? Is it because you can’t bear to part with our family or because you can’t bear to part with your salary?”
Xia Hai was silent. He couldn’t answer Xia Wan’s question. He wanted to say that Li Jin liked his family, but he didn’t believe it himself. Li Jin didn’t like his wife, Yan Han, and mistreated his children. She even looked upon his family with disdain.
However, Xia Hai thought that one day, Li Jin would realize that his family was filial and kind, and he would accept them.
“I’ll think about it. We’ll have to part ways sooner or later, but it’s not the right time yet. Wanwan, wait a while. I’ll work hard on this,” Xia Hai said to Xia Wan. Xia Wan nodded. “Okay, I’ll wait for the good news, dad.”
Even though she said that, Xia Wan did not believe that Xia Hai would be able to abdicate himself.
The family ate in silence, but Yan Han couldn’t hold it in any longer. She said to Xia Hai, “I don’t want my children to live like this. Our Wanwan is so capable and can earn so much despite her young age, but we can’t provide her with a good environment. She has to hide the money she earned.. When will such a life end?”
