Chapter 35: I Won’t Be So Stupid Anymore

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xia Wan reacted quickly. Her face was a little cold as she asked, “Dad, you’re not thinking of giving the dried meat to grandma, are you?”

Xia Hai had to admit that the thought did cross his mind, but after thinking about it for a while, he understood that if he really brought the beef jerky to Li Jin, not only would she not praise them, but she might even scold them for being selfish by having the money to eat, but not the money to be filial.

Before Xia Hai could say anything, Yan Han immediately took the dried meat over and said firmly, “No, this is what our Wanwan bought with her hard-earned money. We can’t give it to anyone else from the Xia family.

“Even if those people took advantage of our family, they still think it’s right. It’s as if they are all big shots, and we are their slaves.

“Xia Hai, I’m telling you, don’t you hurt our Wanwan!”

Seeing Yan Han was angry, Xia Hai quickly shook his head and said, “Don’t worry, I don’t have such thoughts. Even if I did, I won’t have such thoughts in the future.”

Only then did Yan Han smile. Then, seeing that it was getting late, she brought Xia Hai back to their room.

The first thing the two did when they returned to their room was to hide the jerky.

After they had put everything down, the two of them lay on the bed, but Yan Han’s face was full of worry.

Sensing something was amiss, Xia Hai asked, “What’s wrong?”

Yan Han looked at Xia Hai. I think Mother is not happy with the two of us. She doesn’t like the three children either. If Mother wants grandchildren, she should also like Xia Chen and Xia Feng. But she just refuses to like them.

“You don’t say much, and I don’t know how to say nice things. Your big brother and second brother will always say nice things in front of Mother. Song Yan and Chen Lian also often coax Mother.”

“Our children are already having a hard time. As their parents, we can’t hold them back anymore.”

Xia Hai understood Yan Han loud and clear.

In the past, he had always thought that Li Jin was a little biased. If something really happened to the children, Li Jin would still protect them, but after the money-stealing incident today, he felt that Li Jin had really gone too far.

Li Jin clearly knew what kind of personality he had.

Ever since he was young, his two elder brothers had taken advantage of him, and he had always been at a disadvantage.

He had married a wife and had a child. They were all honest. Everyone knew that their family would never do something like steal money. Li Jin clearly understood this, but he still wanted to get money from them.

It was clear that no matter who stole the ten yuan, Li Jinwouldo get it back from him.

Yan Han noticed that Xia Hai was deep in thought, so he added, ” Did you know? At that time, mother said she wanted you to pay her ten times the amount. She lost ten yuan and wanted you to give her a hundred yuan. Wasn’t she trying to get back the salary you didn’t hand in?

“It’s because you’ve been paying her monthly for over twenty years. She’s tacitly agreed that all the money you earn belongs to her. But in reality, she took our family’s money and mistreated our child.

“That’s all I have to say. You should think about it yourself.” After that, Yan Han turned to sleep and did not speak to Xia Hai again.

Xia Hai sighed and couldn’t help but recall the past.

When he was young, his two older brothers told him that he had fallen seriously ill when he was young. At that time, the family had no money, so his mother had gone to the neighbor’s relative to borrow some. To get them to lend some money to her, she had even kowtowed to the other party. It was all thanks to his mother that he was able to cure his illness.

Therefore, ever since he started working, he gave all the money he earned to her, feeling obligated to her. This was what he owed his mother.

However, what Yan Han said made sense. He was already the father of three children, and he had already paid back what he owed his mother for decades. It was time for him to think about himself and his family.

After a long day’s work, Xia Hai was exhausted, and he fell asleep after thinking for a while.

On the other side, Xia Wan counted the time and changed into dark clothes. She held something wrapped in a cup and quietly walked out of the room.

She had just reached the door and had not even stepped out of the courtyard when she realized that Xia Ru had also come out of her room and was walking straight out, looking around very carefully.

Xia Wan was puzzled. It was already so late. What was Xia Ru doing?

Xia Wan let her go first and quietly followed behind Xia Ru.

Soon, Xia Wan realized that she was on a road that led to Liu Shi’s house.

Could it be that Xia Ru and Liu Shi were together, Xia Wan wondered?
