"Fourth family member, you can't hold grudges like this! The situation needs to be opened up!" Old Man An spoke with a sad face, as if he was a patriarch. "We are all a family, how long will you hold grudges like this?"
Xia Qiyue was so angry that she kept talking about her family. Why didn't anyone say "family" when she needed her family?
"Dad, you are a sensible person, so tell me, should I just pretend that the third sister-in-law threw my daughter into a wolf's mouth never happened?"
Xia Qiyue made it clear that she was digging a hole, but Mrs. An jumped in anyway.
"You've hurt her so much, what else do you want to do?"
Xia Qiyue knew that this old woman had been tricked and quickly said, "So what mother means is that I can teach anyone who hurts me and the children in the future, even if they are beaten to death, they deserve it, right? Mother must remember what she said
if!"
Mrs. An waved her hands, "No...I didn't say that..."
"What does that mean? Or do you want me to pretend that it never happened, and then treat the murderer as a guest, with good food and drinks?" Xia Qiyue was aggressive.
"The people back home didn't kill that girl Ke'er either!"
"So? Mom doesn't think it's enough and you want to kill her first?" Xia Qiyue pressed forward step by step.
"From the fourth family, we just want the family to spend the New Year warmly and the children to have enough to eat during the New Year. Why do you still mention those things before?" Old Man An's tone became even older and helpless.
.
Xia Qiyue knew that this old man was used to showing off and ignored him completely.
"I didn't say it's impossible, but I can't let anyone or anything that is harmful to my child happen, so I will give it as a New Year's gift and let's celebrate the New Year together. Anyway, your son hasn't come back yet. As a daughter-in-law, I
You are a disobedient daughter-in-law, and you won’t be in a good mood celebrating the New Year with me, so forget it!”
After Xia Qiyue finished speaking, she was about to turn around and leave, but behind her, Boss Lao An said again, "We will pay for the New Year money ourselves!"
Xia Qiyue shook her head and turned around, "Dad, this is not just a matter of money, the most important thing is the third sister-in-law. She is dangerous. She will hurt the children. Not to mention Ke'er, she will also hurt Ling'er. It's not like you don't know her."
Grab Ling'er's clothes!"
Mrs. An became anxious and called Ge Mingyu over with a loud voice.
Xia Qiyue had no choice but to wait and see what they were going to do.
Ge Mingyu came over with a bruised nose and swollen face, looking at Mrs. An wondering what was going on.
"Third daughter-in-law, please make a promise to the fourth daughter-in-law right now that you will not touch or harm the children in the fourth bedroom!"
Mrs. An pointed at Ge Mingyu's nose and ordered.
How dare Ge Mingyu make trouble again? He quickly swore to Xia Qiyue.
"Fourth brother and sister, I swear that I will never hurt your children again. I was also anxious at that time. I did not harm Ke'er in good faith. Have you forgotten? I also helped Ke'er and Xuan'er when they were young.
You've changed the children's diapers, and you've helped me raise Ling'er. No matter how bastard I am, I won't do anything worse than a beast! I swear! If I can't do it, I'll die a good death, and I'll be torn into pieces.
, my intestines are pierced and my belly is rotten."
Xia Qiyue knew that ancient people valued swearing very much. Half of the reason why Ge Mingyu swore so today was because she was forced by Mrs. An, but she would also abide by her vow in the future.
"Fourth family member, you see your third sister-in-law has sworn this, so don't hold on to it! If anyone in the family does something detrimental to you mother and son in the future, your parents are here! No matter how hard you teach them,
OK, is this okay?"
Of course, these words were said by Mr. An. Mrs. An would never be able to say such words.
Xia Qiyue was extremely reluctant, but she could no longer refuse the old couple's request, so she could only nod.
"Let's go then! The Fourth Brother's family just happened to be driving a carriage!" Seeing this, Mrs. An hurriedly asked Luo to follow Xia Qiyue.
Ge Mingyu's eyes lit up. Compared with Xia Qiyue, it was obviously better to eat well and sleep well.
Xia Qiyue didn't expect that the old couple would go there now. What's the big deal now that their entire family has gone?
"Mom, dad, now you have no place to stay at my place! You can go there in the 30s!"
"No, I remember you don't have three rooms there? You, your sister, and your three children live in one room, and the remaining boys and girls share one room. It's just right! Just sleep together? Really?
No, isn’t there a private room in the kitchen? Nowhere is better than this greenhouse!”
Mrs. An told everything she went to observe when An Zihao was injured.
"You know where Jiajia is doing her confinement, right? There's really no place to live!" Xia Qiyue said without a smile on her face.
"Old man, it seems that the patriarch's house has been completed, right? Why haven't you brought your daughter-in-law back yet?" Old Mrs. An asked Mr. An.
"What do you care about what others are doing?" Boss Lao An scolded his old lady, and then turned to Xia Qiyue, "Fourth family member, then you can go back. Your mother and I will go with the children on New Year's Eve!"
Xia Qiyue nodded, but she still had something to say, "Dad, I'll work harder and prepare the New Year's goods, but the money for the New Year's goods..."
Mrs. An originally thought that she would not mention money again. After all, she had made a lot of money from her business, so she would not be without money for just two or three meals, right?
But she didn't expect to actually ask them, and she couldn't bear it and was about to have a seizure.
"Give her three hundred coins!" As soon as Boss Lao An mentioned the money, he lost his good temper and his tone became obviously bad.
But Xia Qiyue still shook her head. She couldn't forget it. Three hundred yuan required the whole family to celebrate the New Year. This was obviously impossible.
"Dad, how can three hundred coins be enough? There are thirteen or four people in our family who want to go there for dinner. Including our own family, there are about twenty people. It takes so much to prepare a simple meal, big pancakes, stewed cabbage, not to mention
Why don’t we cook a meat dish during the Chinese New Year? How can these three hundred cash be enough? Even if we make a small loss and make three hundred cash, it won’t be enough!”
"Three hundred coins are not enough, how much do you want?" Mrs. An said sharply, she was no longer the same Mrs. An as when she begged her just now.
"No, parents should prepare the New Year's goods by themselves!" Xia Qiyue just didn't think about it yet and wanted to give up.
Ge Mingyu was anxious and winked at the man behind him repeatedly, asking him to tell him not to let his parents feel bad about the money.
Old man An was such a shrewd person. He immediately said, "The fourth man's family is not rich. Let's do it this way. For five hundred coins, you can just prepare two meals. It doesn't have to be too fancy. Just look at the price and prepare it."
!”
"Old man... we still have to build a house after the Chinese New Year!" Mrs. An didn't want to give it to the fourth family for five hundred coins. She had so much money, but she didn't care about making sweets.
Even if you don't do business for a day, you still have to earn several taels of silver? You are really stingy!
But complaining was a complaint, and she still reluctantly took out the money.
