Xia Dongxing walked to his daughter's bedroom, and when he entered the door, he saw Xia Chunchao crooked on the bed, leaning on a green satin soft pillow behind him, with a sad expression and a speechless bow. Seeing him come in, he whispered, "Father." ”

Xia Dongxing nodded and stepped forward. Bao'er was sitting by the bed, and when she saw the old man coming, she hurriedly got up, stepped forward to bless her body, and knew that their father and daughter would have something to say, so they went out.

Xia Dongxing saw that there was no one near him, so he sat on a square stool next to the bed and asked in a low voice, "I heard what Zhu'er said, but what is the reason?" Xu was in front of his relatives, Xia Chunchao only felt endless grievances coming out of his heart, and he whimpered for a long time and couldn't open his mouth. Seeing this, Xia Dongxing sighed and said, "Okay, since you're back, you can live in peace and don't think about it so much." Our family is well-off, and we can support you mother and son. ”

When Xia Chunchao heard this, he remembered that Shicai Bao'er had said that the doctor had diagnosed her with a two-month happy pulse, and his face couldn't help but freeze for a while.

When she was still in the Lu family, she also looked forward to giving birth as soon as possible, but she had never been pregnant for a few years after she was married, but she was diagnosed with good news when she was on the verge of leaving. This sudden news really caught her off guard, and she felt a lot of emotions in her heart, and it took a long time before she whispered: "Although my father is lenient, I am willing to stay at home." But in the end, I am the daughter of the cabinet, and when I go back to my parents' house like this, I can't guarantee that I won't let people point fingers at our family. The younger brother is not yet married, and he is afraid that he will delay his marriage in the future. Otherwise, my father would have sent me to the village village. ”

Xia Dongxing was slightly stunned when he heard this, and immediately said: "Why are you so troubled!" Since you came back, we have all heard Zhu'er say about those things in the Lu family, and your two brothers have never said anything. You can live at home with peace of mind, who dares to say a word, the first father will not allow him! ”

Xia Chunchao was about to say more, but he heard a person outside the door say loudly: "I only ask my sister, what did my sister do wrong?" ”

Xia Chunchao was stunned, and saw his younger brother Xia Gongxing holding a tray and striding in from outside.

Xia Gong walked to the house, put the tray in his hand on the table beside him, walked to the bedside, first made a gesture to his father, and then turned to Xia Chunchao on the bed and asked, "Sister, did you do anything wrong?" Are you sorry for his Lu family? When Xia Dongxing saw his son come in, he made disrespectful remarks to his daughter, his face sank, and he shouted: Okay, how can you talk to your sister?" Xia Gongxing bowed to Xia Dongxing and replied: "My son is rude, but he doesn't vomit or be unhappy. As he spoke, he looked at Xia Chunchao again.

Xia Chunchao already understood, smiled lightly, and said very bitterly: "Naturally, I don't feel sorry for them, but people are terrible." You are too young to know the difficulties of this world. I don't care at home, I'm just afraid that I will miss you. Xia Gongxing said loudly: "Since my sister has no bad intentions, why do you have to say something to surprise people?" If my sister cares about me, then there is no need. If a dignified seven-foot man is stumped by false fame, and he can't even protect his own sisters, how will he protect his wife and children in the future? How can such a man be entrusted with his life? The woman who can be confused by false fame, even if she marries a woman, it is difficult to preside over the overall situation, why do I need her in such a wife? My sister doesn't have to worry about me, she just needs to live at home. ”

Xia Chunchao listened to his younger brother's words, lowered his head silently, and only looked up and smiled for a long time: "What Brother Xing said is that I have fallen into a puzzle." Yes, I didn't do anything wrong, it was his Lu family who was responsible for the vest, so why can't I hold my head up? After that, he smiled and said: "I am worthy of being a person who reads and understands, and I speak so clearly that I have nothing to say." ”

Xia Dongxing saw his daughter's complexion stretched, and he was relieved, and said with a smile: "In this way, he can live with the restraints that the family has sent to his master for years." Xia Gongxing said: "Sister is good like this, this is the girl of our Xia family." ”

The father and son laughed once, Xia Gongxing picked up the soup bowl, sent it to the bedside, and said, "This is a fetal medicine prescribed by the doctor, and my sister drank it while it was hot." The doctor said that my sister was weak, and it was the first three months, so she had to be extremely cautious and recuperate. Sister, don't think so much these days, we have everything outside, so it's important to take care of your body. If the body is well raised, it will be able to produce in the future. ”

Xia Chunchao took the soup bowl, drank it dry with bated breath, and said with a smile: "I can't see it, you are not very old, and you are so luso." Father came in and didn't say anything, but you poured such a big basket and said. Xia Gongxing said with a smile: "The child in my sister's womb is my little nephew, and I, as a little uncle, naturally have to be more careful." When Xia Chunchao heard this, his face was slightly sluggish, and he looked at his father and said, "Dad, although you kindly asked me to live at home, and the eldest brother and the elder brother don't care, there is one thing that I have to explain first." When the child in my womb is born, the daily expenses of our mother and son will be paid from me, not from the officials. When Xia Dongxing and Xia Gongxing heard this, their faces were different.

Xia Gongxing opened his mouth and said, "Sister, why bother, the Xia family can't afford to support it." Shicai's father also said that you are a girl from the Xia family, and your children are naturally also children and grandchildren of the Xia family. When the little nephew was born, he was called Xia, and he also had a share of the Xia family's property. If this is the case, why should my sister be stubborn? Xia Chunchao was slightly stunned, looked at Xia Dongxing, and opened his mouth to say: "Father is kind, daughter is grateful." However, did you discuss what my father said with my brother and sister-in-law? Xia Dongxing waved his hand and said: "My family property, I can divide it how I want, where is there room for them to intervene!" I'm not dead yet, it's their turn. Besides, according to the laws of this dynasty, since you have returned, this business will naturally have your share, and they will not say anything. ”

Xia Chunchao was still waiting to say more, Xia Gongxing had already asked first: "I want to ask my sister, in the past, my sister was as good as my brother-in-law, although such a thing happened now, does my sister still plan to go back to his Lu family?" Xia Dongxing listened to his son's words, his brows furrowed, and he looked at his daughter without speaking.

Xia Chunchao smiled slightly and said: "When I left his door, I said that in the future, their family took eight sedan chairs to carry me, and the family knelt on our door, and I would never go back." I didn't say that for that. As she spoke, she only felt a slight soreness on her waist, straightened her waist, and then said: "Father's words, although they are reasonable, but in the end they are not in love." My brother already has a sister-in-law, and you will have a family in the future. This old girl lives in her mother's house with her children, which is rare in the world. Even if you don't say anything, I'm afraid that my sister-in-law and brother-in-law will have some complaints. We are a family, and it is not difficult for me to do this, so why bother looking for these unhappy? If my father had this intention, he only kept this family business for me. When the child grows up, if it is a girl, it will be a dowry with her, and if it is a boy, it will be regarded as his family property, is it okay? My father knows my temper, and I'm not the useless woman who waits for someone to eat. In the past few years since I got married, I can support the Lu family and a large family, and naturally I can afford to support our mother and son. In this way, it is the way of the director. ”

When Xia Dongxing heard this, he was silent for a long time, and only sighed after a long time: "I know your temperament, you are like this when you are young, you are gentle and obedient on your face, and you are actually the strongest in your bones." Over the years since you got married, I have actually heard some rumors about the grievances you have suffered. However, when you came back to visit your relatives, your face was full of joy and joy, and you didn't say a word. Now that such a thing has happened again, your mother knows that she must blame me. Xia Chunchao saw that his father felt sorry for himself, and explained with a smile: "Father doesn't have to be like this, I have come back, and I have finally left the fire pit." If I am still in his house, where can I bring this child back when he is born? Now the father is just waiting to hug his little grandson, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. After saying this, Xia Dongxing turned his anger into joy again. The father and son sat in one place and laughed without mentioning.

In the afternoon, the two cousins of the Xia family rushed over when they heard the news. The three brothers, after talking about the cold and temperature, sat down in the hall.

Xia Dongxing's cousin, named Xia Hengshun, took care of the farmer and collected rent for this cousin in the countryside. Therefore, Xia Dongxing came with one move. This man was impatient, and when he sat down, he hurriedly asked, "My brother sent someone to look for me in Zhuangzi, and I hurried here when I heard the news." I heard that my nephew came back from the Lu family, what was the reason? ”

Xia Dongxing recounted the reason, and said: "If something like this happens at home, it is not very honorable to say." But we are close relatives, and there is nothing to hide. I will bring you both here today to take counsel and discuss. That Xia Hengshun slapped his hand on his leg and shouted: "What kind of thing is this Lu family, after nine lifetimes of broken settlement, he became an official, and he became proud!" Thinking that earlier, Lu Huancheng was good friends with his brothers, and when he came to the house, he was not treated with good wine and food. This guy is really thick-skinned, knowing that he can't afford to pay the table, and he still bothers him every day. Backward, I saw that our girl looked good, and begged to marry with a shy face. At that time, I said that I was not a good match, and persuaded my brother not to provoke this kind of person. Brother just didn't listen, what is happening now?! Suffered such a big loss! ”

Xia Dongxing also sighed: "In the past, I intersected with Lu Huancheng, and I saw that his behavior was quite legitimate, and he was a scholar. Although I am poorer, I will pay more here, and I will not be afraid. Who knew that this family would be so inferior and developed, so they threw their wretched wives out of the court. This kind of behavior is something that even our merchants disdain, and they do it perversely. Now I also regret not being at the beginning, but the Lu family is not what it used to be, so I invite the two of you to discuss and discuss, but what should I do? ”

Xia Hengshun Huo Ran got up, pointed at Xia Dongxing and shouted, "How else to discuss?" You are also a man, your daughter is bullied like this, not to mention being angry for your daughter, but the plague is here to find someone to discuss, and there is a man like you in the world! Since you ask me, you don't need to say anything about it, let's bring someone to the door. It doesn't matter if he is an official or not, smash the door of his house and get angry with his niece, and then make plans! ”
