However, given Xia Dingfeng's lazy and gluttonous personality, he would never easily agree to split up the family. It would be great if he could get Xia Qianqian's support.
After returning to the house, Xia Dinghai thought for a while, took out some snacks he brought back from the county town, and went to find Xia Qianqian.
It was already dark, and Xia Qianqian started to help Xia Yu review his homework after dinner. Qin Xue was washing sweet potatoes and potatoes, preparing ingredients for Xia Qianqian's business tomorrow.
"Sister-in-law." Xia Dinghai went in and put the snacks on the table. "This is the snack I brought back from the county. Let you try it."
"Second brother, please sit down." Qin Xue said.
Xia Qianqian looked at the snacks curiously, then looked at Xia Dinghai: "Second Uncle, what can I do for you?"
"Well, it's like this. I'm planning to separate from your third uncle. After all, your family is the eldest, so please come tomorrow to witness it." Xia Dinghai said.
"Split up the family?" Qin Xue and Xia Qianqian both found it very strange.
"Yes. The children are growing up, and we have to separate the family. Yu'er's illness this time made me feel a lot. If I could manage the family by myself, I would have called a doctor long ago." Xia Dinghai felt guilty when he said this, and he would steal glances at Xia Qianqian's reaction from time to time.
Xia Qianqian held her chin with one hand and looked at Xia Dinghai with a half-smile: "Second Uncle, we were expelled from the family tree. Theoretically, we are no longer considered members of the old Xia family. You can divide the family if you want, and it has nothing to do with us."
"Qianqian, you can't say that. We are blood relatives, and even if our bones are broken, our tendons are still connected. We are still a family. You must come tomorrow!"
"No, I'm going to the town to sell meatballs." Xia Qianqian didn't want to get involved in the Xia family's mess!
Xia Dinghai said, "I know you are busy, so just come back after you get back from business. Don't cook dinner at home, come over and eat. I'll ask your second aunt to prepare it and kill a chicken so that the whole family can get together."
Xia Qianqian almost laughed out loud. The stingy Xia Dinghai actually wanted to treat their whole family to chicken. It was really wishful thinking!
It is definitely not as simple as asking them to bear witness!
Xia Qianqian suppressed her laughter and asked, "Second Uncle, are you afraid that Third Uncle won't agree to split up the family?"
Xia Dinghai said awkwardly: "My parents have agreed, so it won't work if he doesn't agree."
"Then good luck to you, Second Uncle! People like us who are unlucky in marriage and cannot be included in the family tree will not participate." Xia Qianqian was determined not to participate, lest they would accuse her of "instigating trouble" in the future.
Xia Dinghai couldn't convince Xia Qianqian and got angry: "How can you be so ignorant, kid? It's rare for the whole family to get together in the future. Is it so difficult to treat you to a meal?"
"Was it difficult when they drove us, an orphan and a widow, out?" The silent Qin Xue suddenly spoke.
This sentence was like hitting a snake in the weak spot. Xia Dinghai was speechless and left angrily. He also took back the snacks he had just brought...
"My shallow opinion." Xia Yu uttered two words lightly, his words full of contempt for Xia Dinghai.
Xia Qianqian smiled: "Yuer, why do you say that?"
"My second uncle always schemes against his own family, and he will suffer in the future. That's why I said he is short-sighted. If he wants to achieve great things, he must not be fussy about small details and look at the long term," said Xia Yu.
"Well said, but how do you understand this?" Xia Qianqian asked.
Xia Yu said: "I have seen my elder sister doing business these days by buying and giving away gifts. I have understood a little bit, and the teacher in the private room has also taught me some truths."
"Good, it means they are studying hard. Go to bed quickly. Let's not worry about them. We will still get up early tomorrow."
"good."
