“What did she come back for? I didn’t see her go home just now. Did you stand at the door and scold her, driving her away?”
Thinking of this possibility, Chen Lian felt a bit displeased. She was hoping to gain some benefits from Xia Wan.
Song Yan quickly interrupted her, “Don’t accuse me here. Of course, I invited her to come to our house, but now that she has money, she doesn’t even look at our family. She even disdains the old clothes we used to give her.”
Hearing this, Chen Lian also felt a bit unhappy, “So Xia Wan has changed quite a bit. What’s wrong with wearing old clothes? Who in the village didn’t come wearing old clothes? I used to wear my sister’s old clothes when I was young.”
When there was no one else around, these two would have conflicts, but as soon as they talked about Xia Wan’s family, they became particularly united.
As they talked, their anger grew, so they each sought out their neighbors whom they were on good terms with and spoke ill of Xia Wan’s family.
They said Xia Wan’s family had become wealthy, and successful, and now looked down on them. They wanted to distance themselves and even refused to come back home. They thought their home was just a muddy, messy, and inferior place, unworthy of their current status.
By lunchtime, Song Yan told Li Jin about this matter, and Li Jin was so furious that she slapped the table.
“This Xia Wan is going too far. We are her elders. How dare she talk to you like that.”
Seeing that Li Jin was about to confront Xia Wan, Song Yan quickly stopped her.
“Mom, we can’t easily cause trouble for them in the county anymore. Think about it, the last few times we went there, Xia Wan called the police every time.
Moreover, all the neighbors in their area are on their side.”
After hearing this, Li Jin found it reasonable. She asked Song Yan, “So what do you think we should do?”
Song Yan suggested, “Their family has connections in the county, and we have people in our village too. Even though Xia Hai split from us before, he’s still your son. It’s been so long, and their whole family hasn’t come back to see you.”
Li Jin nodded as she listened, “Exactly, my son was raised by me with so much effort. Now he only cares about his wife and children, completely disregarding me.”
Li Jin now felt that Xia Hai was unfilial, forgetting entirely that she hadn’t supported him when he needed surgery.
She believed that he should give her whatever she wanted after raising Xia Hai for so many years.
Now that Xia Hai was not obedient, it had to be because Xia Wan and Yan Han influenced him. Before, her son was obedient, and all the money he earned was given to her. But now, he couldn’t even spare her a glance.
Moreover, in the past, Xia Hai used to give her 300 yuan every month.
This 300 yuan was enough to cover many expenses at home, but without the 300 yuan from Xia Hai, they were struggling to make ends meet.
Li Jin and Song Yan discussed how to force Xia Hails family to come back to the village and ideally have Xia Wan’s family send money to them each month.
Soon, Song Yan came up with an idea.
She said to Li Jin, “Mom, you pretend to be sick. If you’re sick, as your son, how can Xia Hai not come back? If he doesn’t come back, we’ll go find him on your behalf. ”
“This time, going to find him will be different from before. This time, it’s because you’re sick. Even Xia Wan’s neighbors can’t say anything.”
Li Jin nodded in agreement, “Okay, let’s do it as you said.”
Tomorrow is the first day of school. Xia Wan has already gone through her textbooks briefly over the past few days. The difficult problems might still be a challenge, but the foundational questions posed no issue.
She decided to see how the shop’s renovation was coming along. She heard that Manager Zhang Cheng also goes there often to check. She didn’t think there would be any problems, but she still wanted to see the progress.
As she left, she saw Song Yan lingering at the door.
Xia Wan smirked. This time, Song Yan had become clever, waiting at the door?
“What’s the matter?” Xia Wan walked up to Song Yan and asked directly..
