"I don't want to!" Han Yuqing said loudly, "Since I came to Pingning Town, I have been defeated by Xia Qianqian in every aspect. This girl may look young, but she is a powerful figure. If I share a husband with her, I don't have the confidence that I can be the mistress."
Han Tangping stroked his beard and said, "Okay, Dad understands."
"Dad, I hate Xia Qianqian." Han Yuqing stepped forward and grabbed Han Tangping's sleeve, "She is too good at pleasing others. She is only thirteen years old, her appearance and body are not yet fully grown, but she has already seduced Changsheng's soul away."
"Don't worry, Changsheng's legal wife can only be you. His eldest son must also be born by you." Han Tangping patted his daughter's hand and comforted her, "Go back and embroider your wedding dress, Dad will arrange the rest."
"But I'm still worried..."
"Although young people have their own opinions, marriage is always decided by parents. Besides, your aunt and uncle have already verbally agreed to the marriage."
"Um."
Speaking of her aunt's favor, Han Yuqing regained some confidence.
After she left, Han Tangping whispered a few words to the servant. A cruel look flashed in the servant's eyes, and he hurriedly left the house and returned to Pingning Town.
In Pingning Town, Xia Qianqian was still passionately selling fried meatballs. Little did she know that an unprecedented crisis was approaching her...
The matter of the old Xia family's division caused a stir in Yangliu Village. In order to avoid getting involved in this mess, Xia Qianqian deliberately waited until very late before returning home with her mother and younger siblings.
By the time she got home, everything was settled.
Xia Dinghai and Xia Dingfeng each received 20 taels of silver, and the carriage belonged to their parents, and they had to borrow it when they needed it. The tile kiln was shared and supervised by Old Man Xia, and the two brothers had to do the same work to get a share of the money.
Xia Dinghai was satisfied and breathed a sigh of relief.
Xia Dingfeng was depressed. Did he have to do the same amount of work as his second brother in the future
On the night of the separation, Xia Dingfeng came to Xia Qianqian to complain: "Qianqian, your second uncle is such a jerk. He forced me to separate. You were not at home today, and you were unable to say a few words for your third uncle."
"Uncle San, just divide it! You have two sons, what are you afraid of!" Xia Qianqian smiled and pretended not to know the whole story.
"Most of the techniques for firing tiles are mastered by your second uncle. He must want to monopolize the tile kiln step by step." Xia Dingfeng's eyes rolled around, "Qianqian, you are firing porcelain after the New Year, not tiles, right?"
"Um."
"Then can you teach me the technique of burning tiles?"
This was the purpose of Xia Dingfeng's visit. Xia Qianqian shrugged indifferently: "Sure!"
"That's great. Please teach me quickly so that I can take good care of the brick kiln built by your father and don't let your black-hearted second uncle occupy it."
Xia Qianqian told Xia Dingfeng some information about tile-making techniques, and Xia Dingfeng left happily.
When Qin Xue mentioned the tile kiln, she felt a dull pain in her heart, because that was Xia Dingshan's life's work.
Seeing that she was unhappy, Xia Qianqian comforted her, "Mom, I told him the trick on purpose. It's only when Third Uncle rose to prominence that Second Uncle became unhappy. Compared to Second Uncle, I don't think Third Uncle is that bad."
Qin Xue nodded. She hated the second house because they had taken her Yu'er away and didn't treat her well. Moreover, when Xia Dingshan was still alive, Song liked to bully her and always wanted to surpass her to become the mistress.
"Okay, go to sleep! Doctor Li said you need to get enough sleep."
"Um."
Qin Xue lay down, Xia Qianqian went back to her room but couldn't sleep. There was something she didn't tell Qin Xue. Xia Dinghai suddenly proposed to split up the family, which aggravated her original suspicion: Xia Dingshan was killed by Xia Dinghai!
