Xia Qiyue was so busy with her life that she had forgotten that the An family couple called her, but how could the old couple who really wanted to see her forget about it.
The old couple came to the door the next day.
This time, they didn’t bring anyone else or their precious grandchildren. The old couple came here alone.
When Mrs. An knocked on the door angrily, Xia Qiyue was busy drawing drawings. She wanted to position the amusement facilities in the children's paradise to see what the effect would be.
It was Xia Xinghe who opened the courtyard door, because the two sisters were busy with their own affairs, and the three children were playing with their own things. He was the only master of the house. If he didn't go, who would go?
"Why are you here?" Xia Xinghe's first reaction when he saw the An family couple was, why are you here again?
He didn't look very good, because he knew that these two people would definitely do nothing good when they came over.
"We're here to find your eldest sister. Just go and do whatever you need to do!" Mrs. An directly pushed Xia Xinghe aside and walked inside.
She knew which one was Xia Qiyue's room, so she simply walked to Xia Qiyue's room without anyone telling her.
Boss Lao An followed the old lady without saying a word. The driver looked like a soft-boiled man with a strict wife.
"Sister, sister, your mother-in-law and father-in-law are here to find you!" Xia Xinghe couldn't stop him, so he simply ran a few steps and went to Xia Qiyue's window first and shouted, because he was afraid that his sister was doing important things in the room, such as counting money.
Something like that, it would be bad if this old couple saw it.
I have to say that since Xia Xinghe followed his sister, he has become smarter and more flexible, and is no longer so dull and naive.
When Xia Qiyue heard her brother's cry, she responded and went out immediately, and then put away the drawings she had drawn, revised, and drawn.
When she opened the door, the old couple happened to be in front of her door.
"Father? Mother? Why are you here?" Xia Qiyue pretended not to know why the two of them were so angry and asked in confusion.
"Huh!" Mrs. An snorted softly, bypassing Xia Qiyue and went directly into her room.
Xia Qiyue was speechless and had no choice but to invite Old Man An in.
After the elder couple entered the house, they didn't say much. They said directly, "Fourth's family, have you received your pension back?"
It was Mrs. Lao An who was talking nonsense, but there was no doubt that she was talking to Boss Lao An, because Boss Lao An never took his eyes off Xia Qiyue's face, as if he wanted to see if she was lying.
Xia Qiyue felt a little uncomfortable, but she still nodded honestly, "Yes! I got it back!"
"How much?" Mrs. An immediately asked.
Xia Qiyue sat on the stool on the ground and asked casually, "Didn't Uncle Li Zheng tell you?"
The implication is obvious. Why are you asking me if you already know this? If you have something to say, just say it quickly!
The old couple looked at each other, and Mrs. An still said, "Father and mother of the fourth family know that it is not easy for you to raise the children alone, and we have also separated. You should receive the pension, but
You see, my parents are at their age, right, and they don’t have many years left to live. You can’t just watch us white-haired people give away black-haired people and ignore them, right?”
Xia Qiyue understood that this old couple just came to ask for money, and they were beating around the bush and playing the pity card. That was enough.
"Mom, you have lost Ah Chen and your eldest brother, second brother, third brother and fifth brother, but the children have no father. What can you do with that little pension? Your daughter-in-law still wants Xuan'er to study and honor her ancestors!"
"What kind of clan is Guang? No, it's from the fourth family. Xuan'er is so young. Doesn't the matter of Guang Zong Yaozu also involve our Yu'er? How about you send Yu'er to study first, and we can figure out a solution when Xuan'er reaches the age.
?”
When Xia Qiyue said the words "Guangzong Yaozu", Mrs. An's expression was obviously strange. Xia Qiyue could see it clearly, and she could roughly guess the ugly words that blurted out.
But when she turned to look at Mr. An, she was surprised not to see Mrs. An's eyes like that.
"Mom, our Xuan'er is already looking for a master to enlighten us. He is very smart and can learn everything quickly. In the future, he will definitely be able to pass the examination of a boy student, then a scholar, and even be promoted to a scholar, a Jinshi, and the number one scholar. From now on, you two will be the ancestors of the number one scholar.
How shiny is your face when you go out again?"
When Xia Qiyue said this, he calmly observed the changes in the expressions of the two people.
Boss Lao An was obviously fascinated, but Mrs. Lao An was not, and even looked a little unhappy.
What do you mean, her grandson is not only from Dafang, isn’t Xuaner also her grandson?
Does it mean that the eldest family’s children have to be promising?
"Xuan'er is from the fourth family. You spend that money to hire a master. It's all in vain. What can he learn? Isn't it a waste of money?" Mrs. An suppressed the anger in her heart and thought to herself, it must be necessary.
Ask for the money.
"Dad, do you mean this too?" In order to confirm the subtle difference in attitudes between the old couple, Xia Qiyue asked Lao An specifically.
But Mrs. An stopped her and said, "You don't need your father, just listen to me on this matter!"
Xia Qiyue refused to give up and kept looking at Lao Antou. Lao Antou was a little unable to sit still and coughed lightly:
"For the fourth child, Xuan'er is still young. It will be too late for him to be enlightened in another two years!"
Why did you feel a little guilty when you said this?
"That's right, Xuan'er is still so young, what can he know? Yu'er is already eight years old and can't wait any longer!"
Mrs. An was very satisfied with what the old man said and became even more arrogant.
Xia Qiyue nodded and spoke while the old couple's eyes lit up.
"Indeed, Yu'er can't wait any longer. So what do you mean by big brother and sister-in-law? Are you going to send Yu'er to a private school for enlightenment or just hire a tutor for him? But dad and mom, it's more cost-effective to send him to an academy because the cost is low!"
Mrs. An's expression immediately softened, and she proudly glanced at the ten thousand old men who were not optimistic about this matter.
"Yes, yes, yes, just send him to a private school! Although the pension for the fourth child is thirty taels, the cost of starting school is very high. We will not hire a master, but send him to a private school!"
Xia Qiyue raised her head in surprise, "Mom, what are you talking about? What about the fourth child's pension?"
This time, it was Mrs. An who was surprised again, "From the fourth child's family, didn't we agree to use the fourth child's pension to send Yu'er to a private school?"
Xia Qiyue stood up suddenly, her expression extremely ugly, as if she was about to go crazy, and she showed off her acting skills in front of the old couple.
"Father, mother, are you blood-sucking leeches? Our fourth son has already sacrificed his life in the army, so we only have that little pension. Our mothers will only have that little pension in the future. You won't let this go, Xuan'er.
But Achen’s biological son, I used the money I exchanged for my life to send Xuan’er to study, so that I can make a living in the future. Is this wrong? Why don’t you let go of this little thing?”
By the time she finished speaking, tears were streaming down her face, which shocked the old couple who hadn't seen her secretly pinching her thighs.
