Xia Family
Today, we have done three business deals. Although they are not big, they were all snatched from Xia Qianqian! Just based on this, it is worth celebrating for the Xia family!
Grandma Xia opened the cupboard, cut a plate of bacon, and gave her husband and sons a pound of wine. Everyone had dinner happily.
"I didn't expect Xia Qianqian to be so capable and attract business to our door." Old man Xia regretted that he shouldn't have kicked Xia Qianqian out of the house. With her strength and business skills, she might be able to make the Xia family more prosperous than when Xia Dingshan was alive.
"We will continue to wait at the village entrance tomorrow. There will definitely be more business." Song smiled from ear to ear. This business was so easy to do, it seemed like it had fallen from the sky.
"Yes, we will continue to guard the village entrance tomorrow." Yang picked up two pieces of meat for Xia Dingfeng, "Husband, you should eat more. You should recover soon so that you can burn tiles with your second brother."
Xia Dingfeng took advantage of his illness to be lazy. He didn't have to work and could still eat meat. He was in a very good mood and ate one piece of meat after another.
Mrs. Song's eyelids were sore and she said, "Third brother, eat slowly, be careful not to choke."
"No, don't worry, second sister-in-law! Now that the family business is doing well, I will eat more and get well soon." Xia Dingfeng ate a few more pieces of meat, and in a blink of an eye, he had finished one third of the plate of bacon.
Song also hurriedly picked up some meat for Xia Dinghai: "Husband, you eat too. Only when you are full will you have the strength to work!"
The second and third wives were fighting over the meat. Grandma Xia threw the bowl and chopsticks and said, "What are you doing? The old man hasn't eaten yet!"
Song and Yang both shrank back at the same time and dared not to fight anymore.
Xia Yu heard that they had taken away his elder sister's business, and he was so angry that his cheeks puffed up. If they took away the business, his elder sister would not be able to make money. If she could not make money, she would not be able to take him away. No, he had to tell his elder sister.
While no one was paying attention at the dinner table, Xia Yu sneaked away and trotted all the way to the thatched house: "Big sister, big sister..."
"Yu'er?" Xia Qianqian was startled when she opened the door. "Yu'er, why are you here?"
"Sister, they want to steal your business. They said they will wait at the entrance of the village every day to steal your business." Xia Yu said breathlessly. He was born weak, and now he is being raised by the second wife, so he is too thin to be recognized.
Xia Qianqian felt jealous and pulled him into the house: "Don't worry, Yu'er, I know everything."
"Sister, do you have any way to deal with them?" Xia Yu asked worriedly.
"Yes." Xia Qianqian smiled and found two candies for Xia Yu to eat. "Yu'er, after you eat the candies, go back quickly. Don't let them know you're here."
Xia Yu rarely ran out, but he didn't see his mother and sister. He looked around and asked, "Where are my mother and sister?"
"They went to the river to wash clothes and haven't come back yet. What's wrong? Do they miss their mother? Then I'll go call them back." Xia Qianqian asked.
"No need, I'll leave now to save mother from being sad. Besides, Second Aunt will be angry if she knows I'm out." Xia Yu's eyes were red, and he tried hard to suppress the pain of missing his family.
Xia Qianqian touched his head, her throat choked with sobs and she was unable to speak.
"Sister, I'm leaving." Xia Yu turned around and ran. He didn't stop until he was more than ten meters away, wiping his eyes continuously.
Xia Qianqian watched from afar, feeling heartbroken. She wanted to protect Xia Yu, but she didn't have the ability to do so yet. Xia Yu was kept in the second room, and she couldn't see him being beaten or scolded. The only thing she could do was not to keep him, lest the second room get angry if they knew.
