Song said hypocritically: "Maybe there are other reasons. Ruyu has also stayed at my sister-in-law's house. It's okay with her here."
"How is it okay? There are always troubles around widows. Qin is not decent and even Ruyu has a bad reputation. No, I have to go there." Old Man Xia put on his coat and went out with his pipe.
Song and Xia Dinghai smiled at each other with pride. Xia Zhenzhen couldn't take a slap in vain.
…
Li Sui sat in the room prepared by Xia Qianqian, not wanting to sleep at all. He thought Qin Xue might be very poor, but he didn't expect her to be this poor!
When Li Sui thought of how hard she was living with three children, he hated Qin Jin for not looking for her properly.
A poor mountain village like Yangliu Village is destined to never become rich, so he has to find a way to convince Qin Xue to leave this poor place.
There was light snow outside the window again, and a cold wind blew in through the cracks in the window. Li Sui shivered from the cold and wrapped himself tightly in the quilt.
“Knock knock!”
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Li Sui thought it was dark and it would be inconvenient for the woman in the room to get up and open the door, so he got up and opened the door himself.
Old man Xia was filled with rage. When he opened the door, he saw a man in Qin's house. He was so furious that he hit Li Sui with his pipe without thinking.
"Ouch-"
Li Sui was caught off guard and was hit several times.
Xia Qianqian came out upon hearing the noise and saw Old Man Xia chasing Li Suida, so she quickly stopped him: "Grandpa, what are you doing?"
"You actually let a man stay overnight at your house! That's so rude!" Old Man Xia lowered his voice in an patient manner.
"He is a doctor, treating Yuer." Xia Qianqian explained.
"Even doctors can't do that. Haven't you heard that there are always more gossips around a widow?" Old Man Xia said angrily.
Li Sui was shocked when he heard this: Widow? Qin Xue is a widow
"Dad!" Xia Ruyu also came out with her coat on, and said unhappily, "I asked the doctor to stay. Yu'er's illness is not yet cured, and we need a doctor."
Facing his daughter, Old Man Xia calmed down a little: "Then why don't you let the doctor stay at home? Why do you have to stay here? You know if the villagers knew about this, the Xia family would lose face! Even your reputation would be ruined!"
"I don't want to bother with you. I don't believe that someone's seriously ill child can become a slut just by asking a doctor to stay at home for one night." Xia Ruyu sneered, "When I returned to the county, I reminded you many times to treat Yu'er well. What happened? Yu'er almost died!"
Old Man Xia was in the wrong and didn't say anything.
"Dad, go home and tell my second brother and sister-in-law that they are no longer qualified to raise Xia Yu! Tomorrow I will ask the village chief to be a witness and return Xia Yu to my eldest sister-in-law!" Xia Ruyu was angry and her tone was very bad.
Old Man Xia was stunned: "Ruyu, are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm not crazy! If we let Xia Yu stay in the second house, he will die sooner or later!" Xia Ruyu said angrily.
"Absolutely not, Xia Yu is my grandson!" said Old Man Xia.
"He moved here to live with my eldest sister-in-law. He is also the grandson of the old Xia family. Dad, don't make a fuss about the existence of a man in the family. I have made the decision on this matter." Xia Ruyu has been used to being arrogant at home since she was a child. After marrying into the county town, she became even more incredible. She suppressed old man Xia with her momentum.
Old Man Xia stamped his feet in anger: "Ruyu! I am your father!"
"I have to endure this only because it's our family. If someone else bullied Xia Yu like this, I would have fought him to the death." Xia Ruyu sneered.
