Xia Mian’s scolding was extremely rude.
Everyone's face changed. Xia Li screamed angrily, "Xia Mian, what do you mean?! I'm helping you out of kindness, and you're scolding me?"
"Get rid of your kindness!" Xia Mian was furious. "You are a fool to judge others. You don't know the dirty thoughts of your family!"
Xia Mian raised his legs and walked towards the windowsill. Xiao Feng, who was following beside him, seemed to notice something and consciously ran to a safe corner on his short legs. He didn't show any fear.
Xia Mian picked up the feather duster on the windowsill and pointed at Second Uncle Xia, "Xia Chengyao! I'm being nice to you because you're doing your best for my sister, but don't be so shameless."
"If you dare to take advantage of me again, I will take back those four houses as well!"
Second Uncle Xia was immediately furious, "I bought those four rooms, why are you taking them back?"
"You bought it?" Xia Mian laughed angrily, "My dad was sick and wanted to sell the house, but you ruined every time someone came to buy it, so no one dared to buy it. In the end, my dad needed money urgently for surgery, so you gave it to me at a low price. How dare you call this buying?"
Of course, a scoundrel like Second Uncle Xia who takes taking advantage of others for granted will not admit it.
Xia Mian didn't intend to waste time arguing with him, and just said, "I'm going to make it clear today! If anyone can squeeze your family out, I will give him these two rooms and a small yard of my house for free!"
Second Uncle Xia's face changed drastically, "Are you crazy?! This yard costs several thousand dollars!"
"What do you care if I'm crazy or not?" Xia Mian said, "What's wrong with a thousand dollars? As long as I don't have to see your shameless family, I'll be happy!"
"Don't you like making others feel uneasy? I will make sure you never feel comfortable again!"
Second Uncle Xia was angry, "Why are you so unreasonable, girl?"
He was probably really afraid of angering Xia Mian. After all, ever since Xia Mian came back from the city, he had been very aggressive and vigorous.
Second Uncle Xia softened his tone and said earnestly, "Lili really wanted to take you with her out of kindness."
"Studying is totally useless nowadays. Look at the big bosses nowadays. Do they have any college graduates? On the contrary, all the college graduates work for the bosses."
"For someone like you, who is not good at studying, if you don't go out to work and make more money to meet a boss now, when you graduate from high school and get older, you can only marry a county man and live a life of daily necessities. You are nothing like your sister Lili, who is wearing gold and silver jewelry now."
Xia Li puffed out her chest proudly, "That's right! Even if you go to college, don't you still want to get married and have children?"
"Do you really think studying is bad?" Xia Mian sneered, "I don't think so. It's just that you can't study, so you want to drag others into the garbage dump with you."
She glanced at Wang Tao and that Zhigang brother and said sarcastically, "Oh, you still have to pick up men from the garbage dump."
Wang Tao and Zhigang looked unhappy. Wang Tao said in a deep voice, "Xia Mian, what do you mean?"
"I told you guys you're trash, but you don't understand? Or do you think I was wrong?" Xia Mian sneered and said to Second Uncle Xia and Xia Li, "Didn't you ask me what's the point of studying?"
Xia Mian waved the feather duster and pointed at their noses, "Then let me tell you, reading can at least broaden your horizons, and you won't be fooled by a man so easily."
"That chain." Xia Mian used a feather duster to pick up the gold necklace on Xia Li's neck. "Let alone whether it is 24k pure gold, why would a person who makes a project worth one hundred thousand buy you such a thin chain?"
"That's like giving you fifty cents out of a hundred dollars to send away a beggar!"
"But I don't blame others, because you are cheap."
"Secondly," Xia Mian pointed at Wang Tao and sneered, "Where did you get the project? What's the name of the project? Which government agency did you find to bid for it? Which director do you know?"
Wang Tao and Brother Zhigang were obviously not shrewd people. They couldn't answer any of Xia Mian's rapid-fire questions.
"So, you can only deceive ignorant and uneducated little girls like Xia Li." Xia Mian said, "Everyone knows that it's hard to get money for a project now. How can you get a hundred thousand yuan in project money without a director friend in the government?"
"I guess he is just a small contractor working for a contractor, doing hard labor. Do you think you can act like a big shot by holding a broken mobile phone?"
Wang Zhigang was about to retort angrily, but Xia Mian swung the feather duster loudly and said with disgust, "Also, you are in your early 30s, right? Are you sure you are not married?"
She didn't wait for the other person to say anything, and directly said: "If you are still not married at the age of 30, it means that the market is not good. You either had a disability or were a pauper. I think you are the former. After all, being poor is just a reality. A good person will not affect marriage."
"If you get married, it means that you think you have a little money and want to learn to play with girls and keep mistresses. This kind of person gets carried away when he has a little money, and doesn't learn the good things but only the bad things. Will he do all kinds of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling in the future?"
"Besides, Xia Li is not yet 18 years old," Xia Mian pointed at Wang Tao again, "You'd better not have had sex with her, otherwise, you will be considered to have seduced a minor - if you report it to the police station, the minimum sentence will be three years."
Xia Mian looked at Second Uncle Xia, "This may require a fine and compensation, probably about a thousand yuan."
Second Uncle Xia's eyes lit up subconsciously, and Xia Li's face changed drastically, "Dad, Brother Tao and I are dating!"
"That doesn't change the fact that he seduced a minor." Xia Mian looked at Wang Tao, whose face was red as liver, and sneered, "Come on, tell me, who is not trash, the one who is unwanted, the one who doesn't learn well, and the one who seduces a criminal? Am I wrong?"
Then he looked at Xia Li with disdain and said, "So, what are you so proud of?"
Xia Li was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak. Xia Mian pointed at the door and said, "Why, get out of here!"
Second Uncle Xia saw that he had offended two big money holders and was furious, "Mianmian, how can you talk like that..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard an angry female voice, "Xia Chengyao, you damn beast!!"
Xia Mian was stunned for a moment, and then she saw Xia Wenyue rushing in from the door. Without saying a word, she went straight to Uncle Xia and said, "It's not enough that you have harmed me, you dare to harm Mian Mian! I will kill you today!"
Second Uncle Xia wailed with blood on his face and quickly dodged, "Wen Yue! Wen Yue!"
"You still have the nerve to call me?" Xia Wenyue raised her hand and grabbed Second Uncle Xia's hair, pulling and scratching it, very angry, "I don't care if you want to harm your own daughter, but if you dare to have ideas about Mianmian, I will kill you!"
"I didn't mean to harm her!" Uncle Xia hastily defended himself, "I was doing this for her own good!"
"Get lost, it's for her own good!" Xia Wenyue slapped him, "How could I not know what's in your mind?"
"You are a beast who only cares about yourself!" Xia Wenyue's eyes turned red as she beat him. "How dare you treat Mianmian like you did to me? I will skin you alive today!"
Uncle Xia and others who were brought in by Qiangqiang heard this and then looked at Wang Tao and Wang Zhiqiang who were standing next to Xia Li. They still didn't understand anything.
Uncle Xia, who was always steady, picked up a broom and hit Uncle Xia on the head, "You bastard, how dare you! How dare you do such a thing?!"
The eldest aunt wiped her tears and said, "Chengyao, do you still have a heart? Wenyue was sold by you when she was sixteen. Can't you see how she lived? How can you still do such a thing?"
Uncle Xia was beaten by his brothers and sisters, and he cried out in injustice, "I really didn't do that. Wang Zhiqiang is a small boss with a lot of money. I really didn't mean to harm Mianmian!"
"We have money! We have money!" Xia Wenyue snatched the feather duster from the stunned Xia Mian and slapped Second Uncle Xia on the head, "Besides money, what else do you know? You sold me when I was sixteen for a dowry, isn't it because the Mao family is rich?!"
"Don't you know what kind of life I led in the Mao family?" Xia Wenyue's tears were streaming down her face, but of course it didn't stop her from beating people up.
Aunt Xia rushed over when she heard the noise and hurried forward to pull them apart. "Hey, hey, what are you doing? Why are you hitting people?"
However, as soon as she stepped forward, Xia Wenyue hit her with a feather duster, "How dare you come over here? I knew there would be no place for you here! If you dare to harm our Xia family's children, I will beat you to death!"
Second Aunt Xia felt a pain on her face, she sat on the ground and started to cry. Xia Wenyue directly took the scissors on the windowsill and stabbed at Second Aunt Xia, "Lin Meihua! I told you, don't mess with me. I died once, I'm not afraid of anything!"
"If one day I don't want to live anymore, I will drag your family to hell with me!" Xia Wenyue was almost crazy.
Second Aunt Xia didn't dare to act like a scoundrel anymore, and she crawled away in terror.
Facts proved that she was right. Xia Wenyue was serious. The pair of scissors poked the place where she had just sat, and a large piece of the blue brick was pried off.
Second Aunt Xia was so scared that she ran towards Grandma Xia and said, "Mom, mom, please take care of your daughter."
But Grandma Xia hid even faster than her, "She's married, I can't control her."
Xia Wenyue laughed sarcastically and threw the scissors directly in the direction of the two women, "Yeah, she didn't care about me even when Xia Chengyao sold me out, do you think she will care about you?"
Second Aunt Xia didn't dare to drag Grandma Xia to take the blame. She was over seventy years old and she couldn't take the responsibility if she fell.
But Grandma Xia was not afraid of anything. She hid behind Second Aunt Xia with nimble legs and feet. The scissors directly cut Second Aunt Xia's trousers, scaring her to scream loudly.
The other people present were also terrified. The aunt hurried over to hold Xia Wenyue, "Wenyue, Wenyue! Calm down. It's not worth it for such a person!"
Second Aunt Xia ran away in a panic.
Xia Wenyue hugged her aunt and cried loudly, "Sister-in-law, do you know what kind of life I have lived... Do you know how I survived..."
The eldest aunt patted her back and started crying, "We know, we know, Chengyao was wrong in this matter. We won't say anything about how you treated him, but you have worked hard to make a living, don't get yourself involved."
Xia Hai and the others fell silent. If Xia Wenyue hadn't said anything, it would have been hard to imagine that such a full of energy person had suffered such hardship.
Xia Wenyue is the youngest child of Xia's father's generation. She inherited her grandmother's looks, but has the same personality as her grandfather, being lively, cheerful, efficient and capable.
It is said that she had very good academic performance and had no problem getting into a technical secondary school. She seemed to be a girl with a bright future. However, her entire life was ruined because of Uncle Xia's selfishness.
Second Uncle Xia is eight years older than Xia Wenyue. Because of his ugly appearance and stingy personality, they have never been considered close.
After Father Xia passed away, Grandma Xia didn't worry about anything. Uncle Xia, who was already 24 years old, was very worried. He pestered Lin Meihua, the eldest daughter of the Lin family, who was also Aunt Xia.
You can tell what kind of family traditions her family has by looking at Second Aunt Xia’s conduct. She doesn’t have any requirements for Second Uncle Xia’s marriage proposal, just a betrothal gift, double the betrothal gift, and they will get married immediately if she can give it.
The Xia family is actually considered well-off in Mingxi County, and Grandpa Xia also knows Grandma Xia's personality, so he had already arranged the betrothal gift for Second Uncle Xia before leaving.
But the other party asked for double the bride price. Even if Uncle Xia was stingy, he couldn't save so much money, and Grandma Xia would never use her own pocket money to give to anyone.
At that time, Uncle Xia was still thinking about negotiating with the Lin family to see if the amount could be reduced a little, but he didn't expect that Second Uncle Xia would take the initiative to tell the youngest sister Xia Wenyue about it.
The Mao family is also a very famous family in Mingxi County, but of course it is not a good reputation. Although they are well off, Old Lady Mao is known for being sweet on the outside but bitter on the inside.
The eldest and third daughters-in-law of the Mao family had it so good when they first got married, but later they were oppressed like slaves, and they all looked skinny. After a long time, everyone knew the truth, so good families were absolutely unwilling to marry their daughters into the family.
Moreover, the second son of the Mao family is a "second chair" whose reputation is known throughout the county. He is also twenty-five or twenty-six years old and still has not married. It will be difficult for him to get married in the future.
Second Uncle Xia came to the house himself and introduced Xia Wenyue to the second son of the Mao family.
When Mrs. Mao heard that it was Xia Wenyue, she agreed without saying a word.
Xia Wenyue's ability is well-known, and many bad people are waiting and trying to find out what's going on. However, because she is too young, they will wait for two years. Besides, after she passes the technical secondary school entrance examination and can make money, Xia Wenyue's value will be even higher.
Old Mrs. Mao obviously knew that she was extremely lucky to marry Xia Wenyue. In order to prevent the Xia family from changing their minds, she gave all the betrothal gifts directly to Second Uncle Xia and kept the matter a secret from Second Uncle Xia.
It was not until Second Uncle Xia took the money and proposed marriage to Lin Meihua's family, and everything became a foregone conclusion, that the Xia family realized that Second Uncle Xia had done such a shameful thing.
Even though people in Mingxi County generally get married early, the girl must be at least 18 years old. Besides, Xia Wenyue is still in school and has a bright future after being admitted to a technical secondary school.
Uncle Xia and Father Xia immediately went to the Mao family to negotiate. However, if the Mao family were reasonable, they would not have partnered with Uncle Xia to do such a thing. They would not agree to return more of the betrothal gift and were determined to make Xia Wenyue their daughter-in-law.
Xia Wenyue was forced into a corner and thought about running away. The Xia family didn't want their child to suffer at such a young age, so they supported her decision.
However, everyone underestimated Uncle Xia's sense of shame. He had long been prepared that Xia Wenyue's escape would indirectly ruin his marriage.
On the day Xia Wenyue escaped, he informed the Mao family and brought her back.
The Mao family made a big fuss about this, which annoyed Grandma Xia so much that she actually agreed to the wedding date.
The Mao family also specially left someone to look after Xia Wenyue. The Xia family had already received the betrothal gift and there was nothing they could do.
Xia Wenyue was forced to marry into the Mao family...
"Gucheng is only 20 miles away from our home... I haven't been back to my parents' home for ten years..."
Xia Wenyue burst into tears, "I got pregnant and gave birth when I was sixteen."
"I almost died when I gave birth to Huimei. That old hag even thought I gave birth to a girl and didn't even let me eat enough during the confinement period."
"But I dare not say anything. I can only bear it. If I can't bear it, my child will be treated even more harshly..."
"Later, I gave birth to Huilan. That old woman not only tortured me, but also my child. I wanted to die many times, but I didn't dare to. I was afraid that if I passed away, my children would have a harder time..."
"If I hadn't earned it with this life, I'm afraid I would never be able to leave the Mao family's territory in my life..."
When Uncle Xia thought of the scene at that time, he couldn't help but have tears in his eyes. He raised his hand and slapped Uncle Xia hard.
The Mao family is extremely patriarchal, and Old Lady Mao has always looked down on the second child of the Mao family and thinks she is bringing shame to them.
After Xia Wenyue came into the family, they immediately asked them to have children, intending to use beautiful and capable grandchildren to make up for their reputation;
When Xia Wenyue gave birth to two girls in succession, Old Lady Mao became even more mean to her, and also treated Xia Wenyue's two daughters badly.
Xia Wenyue had been enduring it until it was the coldest time of the year when Old Lady Mao forced Huimei, who was only seven or eight years old, to go to the river to wash clothes while she and Mao Laoer were away. Her hands were covered with sores from the cold and she had a high fever at night, but she still refused to pay for medical treatment.
Xia Wenyue completely exploded. She grabbed a pair of scissors and tried to fight with the old lady, but she failed. The eldest son of the Mao family stopped her and helped the old lady tie up the man and locked him in a small dark room to beat him.
Xia Wenyue, who was pregnant with her third child, suffered a miscarriage due to beatings and bled profusely on the spot.
Old Mrs. Mao didn't care and just left her there. Finally, the second son of the Mao family, who had just returned from work, discovered something was wrong and rushed Xia Wenyue to the hospital.
At that time, the doctor said with a serious face that if it had been two minutes later, Xia Wenyue would never have been saved.
When the Xia family received the news, they rushed over. Only when they saw Xia Wenyue's appearance did they realize how miserable the Mao family was.
It was obvious that every time they went there, the other party was always in a nice tone and Xia Wenyue seemed to be fine.
Especially after giving birth to the child, the Xia family saw that Xia Wenyue was obviously planning to live a good life. The second son of the Mao family also seemed to care about Xia Wenyue, so no one paid much attention to her. After all, everyone's life is busy.
However, after something like this happened, we could not let it go no matter what.
Just when the Xia family was planning to take Xia Wenyue back home, the second son of the Mao family, who had always been criticized as a loser, did something earth-shattering.
He beat Boss Mao so hard that his bones were broken and locked him up in a small dark room, not allowing him to go to the hospital. He also smashed Old Lady Mao's dining table, earthen stove and pots, and then knelt in front of Xia Wenyue and the Xia family to beg for forgiveness.
Xia Wenyue finally stayed.
This was the reality of that era. She couldn't leave her children to suffer in the Mao family's den of wolves. If she took the children away, she didn't have the ability to support them. After ten years of being restricted in her life, she was filled with fear of the unknown outside world and lost her confidence.
When the Xia family learned of Xia Wenyue's decision, they went to destroy the entire Mao family again. The second branch of the Mao family became independent and lived on its own. Only then did Xia Wenyue's life gradually return to normal.
"Second aunt, don't cry." Xia Mian went forward and hugged Xia Wenyue to comfort her.
She knew that Xia Wenyue was sympathetic to her, but after going through all those hardships, she was still able to protect others so strongly. She truly felt that Xia Wenyue was an amazing person.
Uncle Xia was also tired of fighting, and pointed at Uncle Xia and Xia Li and said, "All of you, get out of here. From now on, whether it's Mianmian or Xiaofeng's business, if you dare to interfere again, don't blame me for being rude."
Then he turned to Wang Tao and said, "Thank you for your help with Xia Chun's matter this time. We will give you as much money as you deserve. If you think it's not enough, we will make up for it."
"We don't care about what happens between you and Xia Li." Uncle Xia said this, and his eyes suddenly turned sharply to Wang Zhiqiang, "But the other girls in our Xia family are not for you to treat casually!"
Xia Wenyue protected Xia Mian behind her and glared at Wang Tao and Wang Zhiqiang, "Our Mian Mian is going to go to college like her sister. You guys can forget about it. Get lost!"
The two people who had just been hiding aside and watching the fun were suddenly called out and warned, and their faces looked a little bad.
Wang Tao frowned, and Wang Zhiqiang nodded at Xia Li and said, "You think we are rare, if she hadn't been begging me..."
It turned out to be planned long ago.
The Xia family looked at Xia Li coldly. Xia Wenyue said "Pooh" harshly, "It really is the child of Lin Meihua and Xia Chengyao. He is so shameless at such a young age."
Xia Li felt that she had good intentions but was scolded and was furious. Seeing that Wang Tao and Wang Zhiqiang were unhappy, she quickly ran over and took Wang Tao's arm, "Brother Zhiqiang, Brother Tao, don't bother with them."
"They have lived in this small county all their lives and have never even seen a Santana, so how can they know your abilities?"
"You guys are great and don't remember the little mistakes. I will also treat my kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, and I will no longer care about them in the future."
Wang Tao's expression softened slightly after hearing what she said. Wang Zhiqiang took out the car keys from his trouser pocket and twirled them in his hand, sneering, "Forget it, you are a bunch of country bumpkins who have never met each other. You will regret it sooner or later!"
The people watching the fun were indeed attracted by the key in his hand and showed envious looks on their faces.
Uncle Xia and the others looked gloomy. Xia Mian said coldly, "Who are you talking about, bumpkin?"
"The bumpkin is talking to you." Wang Zhiqiang refused to be outdone.
Xia Mian suddenly smiled, "It seems that you are quite self-aware."
Then he said to Xia Li coldly, "You have no respect for your elders and you are a traitor. Get out of here right now! You are not worthy of being with them."
The three Xia Hai brothers laughed along, and only then did the onlookers and Wang Tao realize what Wang Zhiqiang had said.
Wang Zhiqiang was immediately furious and said to Xia Mian, "You don't even know who the bumpkin is. You just have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, but you dare to look down on us, as if you are so powerful."
Thinking of Xia Mian's contempt for them just now, Wang Zhiqiang sneered, "You still look down on mobile phones. If you have the guts, why don't you take out a mobile phone for me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a crisp ringtone suddenly rang out from the house. Everyone was stunned. Xia Chuan looked in the direction where the ringtone came from. "Mianmian, is your phone connected? That's not right. The phone doesn't sound like this."
Xiao Feng, who had been staying in the corner, had already run into the house. After a while, he ran out with a small thing in his little hand and handed it to Xia Mian, "Aunt, Brother Chenchen."
Everyone's eyes were focused on the small thing. Xia Mian took it and pressed it, and a sound came out from inside.
"Where is your home in the county?"
Xia Mian was stunned for a moment, "Ah? Near Mingxi County Middle School, what happened?"
Then I heard Chenchen shouting, "Aunt Xia Mian, we are here to see Xiaofeng!"
Xia Mian was surprised, "What do you mean, you have arrived in Mingxi County?"
"Yeah." Ning Shaoyun took the phone and said, "Chenchen said he wanted to come see Xiaofeng. Aren't you guys leaving soon too? Why don't we just go together."
"Where are you now?" Xia Mian didn't care about the people in the yard anymore, "I'll pick you up."
"We're almost at the station."
"Okay, then just walk east along the main road until you see Mingxi County Middle School. I'll pick you up there in a bit."
Xia Mian hung up the phone and met a group of bright eyes.
Xia Chuan asked, "Mianmian, what is this? Is it also a mobile phone? Why isn't it this small?"
Xia Mian glanced at Wang Tao and Wang Zhiqiang, intending to show them a higher level of pretentious skills.
She said nonchalantly, "Oh, it's a cell phone. The big brother is too hard to use. It's like moving bricks in your hand. It's tiring and ugly."
Xia Chuan immediately looked at Wang Tao and Wang Zhiqiang and sneered, "We don't have a mobile phone at home, so will a cell phone work?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Xia Mian picked up Xiao Feng and walked out.
The little guy wasn't scared from beginning to end, perhaps because Xia Mian saved him from Huang Xiaojuan by waving a feather duster.
Later, Xiao Feng also saw Xia Mian throwing bricks and flying knives, so he was very calm about the fights and disputes that Xia Mian participated in.
For example, at this moment, he didn't care about the mess in the yard at all. Instead, he was only concerned about the content of the phone call, "Aunt? Brother Chenchen?"
"Yes, it's your brother Chenchen." Xia Mian said, "Didn't you say you missed him yesterday? He came to see you!"
Xiao Feng's eyes lit up, "Brother Chenchen is here?"
After Xia Chun was buried yesterday, Xiao Feng cried for a long time until he felt weak all over. Xia Mian was worried that he was too young and might get hurt, so she called Ning Shaoyun.
I let the two kids chat for a while, but I didn’t expect Chenchen to come.
Uncle Xia was thoughtful. "Who's coming? How should we entertain them?"
"It's Doctor Ning." Xia Mian said, "It's the Doctor Ning who helped us a lot in Yan City. There's no need to entertain him specially. His family is well-off. I guess he has seen everything. We can just prepare some of our local specialties."
Xia Li was still unwilling to accept Xia Mian's slap in the face, and now she seemed to have found a point of attack, "Good conditions, how good are they? Can your family be as rich as Brother Tao?"
Xia Mian was too lazy to deal with such cheap stuff. Seeing Xia Chuan staring at the phone in her hand with curiosity, she just handed it to him.
All the young men came up to him curiously. Xia Chuan said anxiously, "Hey, hey, hey, be careful. A broken mobile phone costs more than 10,000 yuan. This one might be even more expensive."
As he spoke, he looked at Wang Tao and Wang Zhiqiang who were also craning their necks to look over here, "Hey, two big bosses, do you have this? Do you know how much money this is worth?"
Xia Mian walked by holding Xiao Feng in her arms and said calmly, "Ask Wang Tao to tell me his cell phone number and see if we can get through. After all, how can a rich person's cell phone not ring all day? It must be for show."
Wang Tao's face suddenly turned the color of liver. Xia Li was angry and said, "You are the liar! Our brother Tao didn't have time to recharge his phone. There is no post office in Mingxi County."
Xia Li knew that she couldn't compete with the big brother, so she immediately changed the subject, "Our Brother Tao has a car, how can your lousy doctor have one?"
"Well, my crappy doctor gave me a cell phone. Would your Brother Tao be willing to give you a big mobile phone?" Xia Mian retorted.
Xia Li immediately looked at Wang Tao, who had a sullen face and remained silent.
Xia Mian sneered. It was foolish for her to pretend to be cool in front of this group of people. She didn't feel any sense of accomplishment at all.
After walking out, Xia Wenyue frowned slightly and asked Xia Mian in a low voice, "Mian Mian, was this given to you by Doctor Ning?"
"No, I lied to them." Xia Mian smiled, "Doctor Ning lent it to me so that we can keep in touch."
Xia Wenyue said, "It's not good to take someone's valuable things for no reason. Find a chance to return it to the owner."
Uncle Xia also reacted, "Your second aunt is right. You are young, don't learn from your second uncle. It's not that being rich is good..."
"I got it. Don't worry." Xia Mian felt warm in his heart. If it weren't for Grandma Xia and Second Uncle Xia, those two top-notch people, the Xia family would have been a very upright family.
Afraid that they would think too much, Xia Mian explained, "It's because I saved Dr. Ning's nephew that they are repaying me. You will know when you meet them later."
Xia Wenyue and Uncle Xia said nothing more after hearing this, and decided to meet him in person first. Auntie called Xia Hai and Xia He back to prepare to entertain the guests.
Although people in small places like to watch the fun, they won't pay attention to every visit from their neighbors.
However, because of the dispute and comparison with Wang Tao and Wang Zhiqiang, they were all curious and followed Xia Mian to the door to wait for people when they had nothing to do.
Xia Mian was somewhat helpless, "Uncles and aunts, aren't you busy?"
Xia Li chased after him relentlessly, "Why, is your Doctor Ning too shy to see people? Or did you lie just now and are afraid of being found out?"
"She's giving you a hand, a cell phone, this must be nonsense, right?" Xia Li was anxious to confirm it, she took Wang Tao's arm and said, "Brother Tao, she must be bluffing us!"
"Let's stay and see her." Xia Li sneered, "I don't believe she can know someone richer than Brother Tao and Brother Zhiqiang. She must be pretending just to save face!"
Wang Tao finally felt relieved. Wang Zhiqiang also felt that what Xia Li said made sense. He sneered, "A doctor, even if he earns more than a thousand a month, might be considered a rich man in your Mingxi County, but for us, that's not good enough."
The two of them were both extremely concerned about their reputation. After they made some money from the project recently, they would flatter and praise a girl like Xia Li. But how could they be willing to be despised by that little girl Xia Mian
Wang Zhiqiang winked at Wang Tao, telling him that when the doctor came, he must be humiliated so as to teach these country bumpkins a lesson.
Wang Zhiqiang turned the car keys and leaned against the Santana he drove today, enjoying the envious glances secretly cast at him by those around him. He sneered in his heart and said, "Xia Mian, you will regret it soon."
Just as they were thinking about it, a car came into view in the distance, and everyone's eyes finally shifted away from the Santana and looked at the oncoming car.
The cars in Mingxi County are indeed very small. A Santana is enough to make people envious, but the car coming is much bigger than a Santana.
Wang Zhiqiang immediately shouted, "Fuck, it's actually a Mercedes-Benz!"
Seeing everyone's eyes pricked up, Wang Zhiqiang immediately boasted about his knowledge, "That's an imported car from abroad, one car costs millions."
"That's right." Wang Tao said, seemingly explaining to Xia Li, "You need a very strong relationship to buy this car. Last time we went to bid, Mr. Liu from Yan City drove such a car."
Wang Zhiqiang lit a cigarette and said in an unfathomable manner, "Are you talking about Mr. Liu from Tengfei? I am very familiar with him. I have already made an agreement with Mr. Liu that he will build one for us after our project is completed next year."
He patted the old Santana and said, "This one is for you, Lili."
"Really?" Xia Li was so happy that she almost jumped up. "Brother Tao, Brother Zhiqiang, you guys are so kind."
Wang Zhiqiang glanced at Xia Mian, waiting to see her regretful expression.
However, the other party did not even turn his head, but just stared at the Mercedes-Benz. Wang Zhiqiang sneered, "Some people are really ambitious. Even if the boss who drives the Mercedes-Benz marries a wife, he marries a college student."
Xia Mian really hated their noise, so she said directly to Xia Li, "Did you hear that? College students can marry big bosses who drive Mercedes-Benz, but a working girl like you is only worthy of marrying a small contractor who buys a second-hand Santana and is still complacent."
Wang Zhiqiang choked. He wanted to say something else when the Mercedes-Benz suddenly stopped in front of everyone.
He didn't bother to compete with Xia Mian at the moment, and hurried over, rubbing his hands and asking, "Boss, do you want to ask for directions?"
Wang Tao followed him and lied, "We are familiar with this place. Who are you looking for?"
aestivation:…
Alas, Xia Li is only worthy of someone of this rank.
These people will be so embarrassed that they will dig their feet into the ground soon, right
"If you're not asking for directions, please give way." The mellow subwoofer comes with a distance buff.
Wang Zhiqiang and Wang Tao didn't dare to say another word. They stepped back with awkward smiles, and finally the true face of the driver in the cab was revealed.
The handsome young man was casually wearing only a white T-shirt, with his arms lazily resting on the car window. Although the movement was simple and casual, it was so beautiful that it was hard to take one's eyes off.
Especially when that pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes swept across everyone, they seemed to be filled with intoxicating affection.
When Xia Li saw the man looking in her direction, she felt her heart almost jump out of her chest, "Hello..."
Then I heard the man say, "Where is the car parked?"
"Ah?" Xia Li didn't expect that the handsome guy who looked like a star would actually talk to her. She was so confused.
Just as I was organizing my words to say something, I heard Xia Mian's familiar voice behind me, "Just stop by the roadside."
"Your car is a bit big, it's hard to fit into the alley."
If there was one good thing about the 1990s, it was that you never had to worry about parking spaces, because that wasn't common yet.
The other party stretched out his bony hand and made an OK gesture.
The car started again amid everyone's stunned gazes, and the window of the rear car rolled down, revealing two equally delicate and beautiful faces, one big and one small.
Little boy Chenchen looked at Xiaofeng happily, "Little brother Xiaofeng!"
Xiao Feng also waved happily, "Brother Chenchen."
Ning Shaoyun saw a group of people looking at her straightly. She didn't say anything, but just nodded to Xia Mian.
The car stopped in reverse gear, and Xia Li murmured in disbelief, "This, this is impossible..."
As for Wang Tao and Wang Zhiqiang, after being shocked, they realized that they had lost their parents. While everyone's attention was on the Mercedes-Benz, they started the car and drove away in shame.
Even so, some people still laughed mockingly, and Xia Chuan finally felt proud.
Xia Mian put Xiao Feng down, and Xiao Feng ran towards the big one.
Xia Mian said to Xia Li for the last time, "This is Doctor Ning. He is not only a college student, but also a doctoral student. He is also a boss and can earn tens of millions without having to go to the construction site himself."
"So, don't tell me that studying is useless. It's just that you didn't study, so you only meet bosses who don't study."
“A real boss never needs to live and eat at the construction site.”
Ning Shaobai and his sister and Chenchen had already gotten off the car. Xia Mian looked at Xia Li's blushing face and felt that he had done his best. As for her future pursuits, that was her own business.
Xiao Feng stood by the car, looking up and waiting for Chen Chen. After Chen Chen jumped out of the car, he looked at Xiao Feng like an adult, touched his head and said, "Brother Xiao Feng, why have you lost weight?"
"My mom and I bought ten days' worth of chocolate in advance," Chenchen took Xiaofeng's hand, "I'll give them all to you later, and you won't feel sad after you finish them."
Xiao Feng's eyes curved up, "Aunt also bought me chocolate and candy, let's eat together."
"Really?" Chenchen suddenly became happy.
"Have you two finished catching up on the past? You can leave after that." Xia Mian touched their little heads and took Ning Shaobai and Ning Shaoyun back home first.
Xia Chuan directly dismissed everyone who wanted to follow him, "Something happened at home, it's not lively anymore, everyone, quickly disperse, it's already noon, aren't you going to cook?"
Seeing the mess in the yard, Xia Mian suddenly felt embarrassed.
Ning Shaobai saw the scattered feather duster and the bloody scissors and wondered, "Just finished a fight? Oh, no, just finished exercising?"
aestivation:…
Will she die if I'm not mean to her for a day
Xia Wenyue had been following behind quietly. She felt a little embarrassed when she heard that, and quickly put the things away.
Now it was Ning Shaobai's turn to feel embarrassed. Xia Mian rolled her eyes at him and quickly grabbed Xia Wenyue, "Second aunt, stop working. They are not outsiders."
Ning Shaoyun said softly, "Hello, Second Aunt, I'm sorry to bother you. We are familiar with Xia Mian, so we are more casual in our conversation. Please don't mind."
Xia Wenyue rubbed her hands nervously and said, "Don't mind, don't mind. Come in and sit down."
Fortunately, the house was clean.
But he didn't sit there for long. He just took this place to get familiar with the place and then went to Uncle Xia's place.
After all, this place is empty and there is nothing here, and the elders are all there.
Chenchen has already met Qiangqiang through Xiaofeng's introduction. Qiangqiang is very outgoing, and soon the three children are playing together.
Chenchen took Xiaofeng and walked to Ning Shaoyun, "Mom, I'm going out to play with Xiaofeng and Qiangqiang."
Ning Shaoyun smiled and said, "Go ahead and take good care of little brother Xiaofeng."
Xia Mian looked at Xiao Feng's back and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She said to Ning Shaoyun, "Thank you so much. Xiao Feng, please don't laugh today. You haven't played for a while. He is so happy to see Chen Chen."
Ning Shaoyun felt a little distressed when she saw Xiaofeng, "You worked so hard to build up your flesh, and now it's falling off again."
"This matter is over. It will be fine once it stabilizes in the future."
Xia Mian nodded, "Since you are here, Sister Ning, I would like to ask you for a favor."
The arrival of Ning Shaobai and the others was also a good thing for Xia Mian. She was just about to tell her elders about her trip to Yan City.
Although she had made up her mind to leave, it would be best if she could reassure her elders. It would be more convincing if the Ning siblings could vouch for her.
