BXBX NOVEL Chapter 12
Yan Han protected Xia Wan behind him and looked at the others with dissatisfaction. “Let’s call it a day. Our Wanwan needs to rest. If Xia Yu didn’t come, there wouldn’t have been such a big commotion.”
Chen Lian was completely unconvinced. She looked at Li Jin and said, “Mother, you have to say something fair. No matter how you look at it, it’s our Xia Yu who’s badly injured. Look at what Xia Wan said. Why doesn’t she think about the family at all?”
Li Jin refused to let the matter rest either. He pulled Xia Hai aside and started complaining. Xia Hai, it’s not that mother doesn’t love Xia Wan, but look at the way she talks. It’s as if she’s going to eat someone up. I’m her grandmother, after all, and Xia Yu is her cousin. What bad intentions could Xia Yu have? Why wouldn’t she want a more tolerant family?”
Xia Wan sneered and asked, “Grandma, you still remember that we’re a family? Then why didn’t my two older sisters save me when I fell into the river? Grandma, you didn’t let me eat eggs when I was sick. Grandma, if this so-called family is for us to be infinitely tolerant of the other two, why don’t we split?
“Dad, we won’t suffer any more grievances.” She wiped her tears and looked at Xia Hai.
Li Jin had originally planned to cry and make a scene so that Xia hai would teach Xia Wan a lesson. But now that Xia Wan said she wanted to split the family, Li Jin was dumbfounded.
“What? You still want to split the family?” Li Jin repeated loudly, staring at Xia Wan with eyes full of anger and shock.
This brat just wanted Xia Hai to teach her a lesson, and she actually dared to mention splitting the family.
No one was splitting up now. If word got out that their family was on bad terms, they would be laughed at.
Moreover, she was now holding the monthly wages of her three sons and held the power of the family. Everyone had to listen to her. If the family split, she would have no status in this family.
Xia Hai was stunned for a moment before he snapped back to his senses and scolded Xia Wan, “Wanwan, don’t talk nonsense. It’s just a small matter. How can you make it to the point of splitting up the family?”
Xia Wan pouted, feeling wronged. grandma is right. “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have been so noisy. Since grandma thinks that I’m embarrassing myself, then let’s move out. There’s an empty space behind the house. I’ll ask the two uncles to pay each of us some money so we can build a house.”
Xia Wan’s words stunned both Xia Jiang and Xia He.
Putting aside the matter of moving out, why did they have to pay for Xia Wan’s family?
The two men didn’t know how to say it directly, so Chen Lian immediately shouted, “Xia Wan, how dare you say such things? Even if you want to move out, you should live separately. Don’t you have rooms now? Why do we have to build a new house for your family? Besides, why should we pay for your family?”
Xia Wan immediately retorted, “We’re living in the same courtyard now. They say it’s our house, but Xia Yu comes and goes as she wishes. We have zero privacy. Xia Yu hasn’t taken anything for now, but what if she takes something important in the future? What would I say then?”
“If that’s the case, why don’t we split up? This piece of land will be given to your family. We can’t afford to offend you, but we can always hide. This way, grandma won’t always say that I’m in trouble and blame me for blowing up such a small matter. We won’t have to fight every day if we live separately.”
Seeing Xia Wan’s determination, Li Jin couldn’t help but humble his attitude. He looked at Xia Hai and said, “Xia Hai, can’t you just watch your daughter? What is she saying? No one in our village wants to move out. Is she trying to turn our family into a joke?”
Although Xia Hai’s heart ached for his daughter, he naturally wouldn’t want to be separated from the family. He immediately said to Xia Wan, “Wanwan, don’t mention it anymore. We’ll be laughed at if we move out. You’ll be looked down upon in school too.”
Xia Wan pursed her lips and looked aggrieved. “After what Grandma’s said today, everyone looks down on me. Why am I the only one whose reputation is damaged? Why don’t we just move out? Everyone’s reputation will be ruined. Aren’t my two older sisters in school too? Let’s go together!”
Seeing Xia Wan’s fearless expression, Chen Lian and Li Jin panicked.
