Xia Xia's affection for Zhou Man comes more from her blood relationship, from Xia Yan buried in the nearby cemetery, so he insists on his own cognition.
Old Zhou still wanted to reason with him, but Qian had already said, "So that Master Xia will know that we have no intention of changing Man Bao's surname."
Xia Xia, who was still about to speak, was choked up, his expression was ugly.
Qian's face was still gentle, but he said: "Marriage is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. She was raised by us, and she still calls us father and mother, so the marriage we made for her, as long as we If you don't change it, she will have to marry."
Xia Xia, who was still thinking about going to Zhou Man to explain the truth, suddenly felt cold.
Qian Shi said: "I have told you about this matter, and we will go to the county government to meet other relatives of the Xia family in a while, and we will talk about it again."
She said without much expression on her face: "I am a woman and I don't know much about the truth. If what I say is wrong, Master Xia will forgive me."
She said: "As the saying goes, a married child pours out water. Originally, Zhou Yin married into your Xia family, so he was not counted as a member of our Zhou family. He is a good boy, but his elder brother and I single-handedly brought him up. , isn't it easy?"
Hearing this, Xia Xia was momentarily speechless.
Old Zhou Tou also stopped talking for a while, and stood aside with his neck shrunk.
Qian said: "I know what he did is a good thing, but for our family, it was a disaster. For more than ten years, I have raised Man Bao not only to worry about her food and drink , I'm still gambling with the lives of the whole family, I thought, no matter how much the Xia family's life favor is, it can't be as important as my Zhou family's nurturing grace, right?"
Xia Xia felt guilty all at once.
Originally, Zhou Yin was a man. He took Xia Xin away, and there was no news of him for more than ten years. Their Xia family was very reasonable. , They felt guilty at once.
Xia Xia had no choice but to nod, "Yes, the in-laws' kindness to the eldest lady is indeed not weaker than Xia's kindness..."
Mrs. Qian nodded, "Master Xia just admits it."
She said: "In this case, let Man Bao use the surname Zhou to repay our Zhou family's kindness for the rest of his life, and let her have a child named Xia Bao Xia's Shengen."
Mrs. Qian took out her handkerchief and pressed her eyes, her tough back softened slightly, and she said weakly: "I'm not afraid of Mr. Xia's jokes, I raised Manbao with my own hands, I have feelings for her, and I will deal with the next generation's affairs." I'm afraid I won't see much, so I just let them go, love's surname is whatever, but she must take my family name, and even keep calling me mother, and change it when I die and can't hear it. go."
Xia Xia didn't think there was anything wrong, women, it's normal to be emotional.
He couldn't help but look at Old Zhou Tou, and saw that Old Zhou Tou was looking down at his toes, with his neck still half-shrunk, Xia Xia couldn't help being silent.
Mr. Zhuang, who was sitting silently beside him, breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that Mrs. Qian followed, otherwise...
Qian restrained Xia Xia with his "unreasonable making trouble", and the next thing went smoothly.
After the sacrifice and sweeping, everyone went down the mountain to the county government together.
Old Zhou was not happy to ride in the same car with Xia Xia, so he ran to sit with Qian Shi.
Sitting in the car, Lao Zhou was hesitant to speak for a while.
Qian glanced at him and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it, and don't just peek at me."
Old Zhou asked in a low voice, "We really don't care about Man Bao's children?"
Qian: ...
She couldn't help stretching out her hand to pinch his arm, and said in a low voice: "What do you believe in what I say? The Xia family is not very easy to get along with. Even Xia Xia, who is not bad, wants to control Man Baotou." , I don’t say that, do you really want to give up your daughter to someone else?”
Qian said with a sullen face: "Man Baotong and they have only met twice. Apart from the little blood relationship, how much affection can we have with each other? Blood relationship, Xia Xia and Man Bao's grandparents are far away. No matter how much kindness you have, is it more important to have your own descendants?"
But old Zhou Tou said: "That's all for the first sentence, but for the latter sentence, I think Xia Xia is still very kind. He told me in the car just now that he has been keeping that shop very carefully for Man Bao. , He has kept the rent for more than ten years, and will give the shop and the rent to Manbao later."
Qian said: "This is not a matter of life and death. People will naturally be grateful, but one day, if Man Bao and his descendants are put on the edge of a cliff for him to choose, will he still choose Man Bao?"
Old Zhou: "...
He couldn't help but muttered: "Then you may not choose Manbao, right?"
Qian: ...
Old Zhoutou immediately said: "What you said is right. I didn't mean to think about it. You said that you don't care about Man Bao's child. I'm afraid Xia's mind will change after hearing it. If Man Bao gives birth to a child, they will take the child. What about inheriting the Xia family?"
Qian glanced at him and said: "You are stupid, the child's parents are present, and there are grandmother and great-grandmother on top, no matter what, it's not the Xia family's turn to take care of it. I said I can really ignore it if I don't care about it?"
She lowered her voice and said: "Man Bao said that Xia Xia will not live long, we are so healthy, we will definitely live longer than those old people of the Xia family, what are we afraid of?"
Who knows if she said that by then
Even if someone knows, she regrets it, who can really do anything to her
Old Zhou opened his mouth wide.
The three of Man Bao who were two carriages away from them also opened their mouths wide in surprise, and leaned against the door of the carriage with the curtain lifted in disbelief, asking Daji who drove the carriage, "My mother really said that?"
Daji nodded and flicked his whip in the air to let the horse keep up with the car in front.
After pondering for a while, Man Bao said with admiration: "My mother is really amazing."
Bai Shan nodded approvingly, with such a mother-in-law around, he felt that there was no need to be afraid of Mrs Xia, as a single favor could make Mrs Xia unable to straighten up.
Man Bao can hide behind Qian Shi, even if there are discussions, Qian Shi doesn't care, and she has never lived in Shangzhou, so what are you afraid of
Moreover, if one sings a red face, someone must sing a bad face, otherwise, others will still be bullied by Man Bao and the Zhou family.
Bai Shan also ignited his fighting spirit, and whispered his advice to Man Bao, "You won't confront Xia Xia, I already asked someone to find out who the person who sacrificed the sweep was Xia Xia, you have to be kind, but to Xia Xia You don't have to be afraid of the rest of the family, use official authority when it's time to use official authority, as for Xia Xia, let uncle and aunt go, they are your elders, and they raised you up, no matter what they say, they can replace you The master is back."
Man Bao nodded again and again, and his heart became more stable.
Bai Shan continued: "Don't be afraid to go in later, and Mr. Xia, if you coerce him with kindness, you will be sad, and leave the rest to us."
Man Bao asked curiously, "You are also young, what use can you be?"
Bai Shan snorted and said, "I'm very useful, we're engaged, I'm your future husband, you know, I'm still a family member, the Xia family is just a small squire in Shangzhou, they can talk to me Bi, dare to fight with me?"
Seeing his angry look, Man Bao and Bai Erlang couldn't help pursing their lips into a smile, nodding their heads repeatedly and said in agreement: "I can't compare with you."
