All the money was emptied on the way to exile, and there was too much money to spend

Xia Chan definitely wouldn't let the old lady toast him with wine.

This is unreasonable.

No matter what, the other party is an elder, a grandmother at that. How can she respect a junior like her?

Xia Chan raised his hand and tried to hold down the old lady.

But the old lady insisted on doing so.

"Xiaochan, listen to me."

The old man looked solemn, and it was obvious that he had something very important to say.

If Xia Chan continues to stop him, it would be impolite.

She could only pull her hand back.

"You say."

The old lady coughed to get her throat in the best condition before she spoke.

"I don't have anything special to say. I just want to tell you that the reason why our Xie family was able to survive and be reunited is all because of Xiao Chan."

"If it weren't for her, our family would have died or been scattered, and there would be no Xie family in the world."

"So I solemnly declare here that Xia Chan is not only the current head of our Xie family, but also the adopted parent of our Xie family. As long as you are a descendant of the Xie family, you must respect her as you respect the ancestors of the Xie family."

"If not, please leave the Xie family. The Xie family does not need such ungrateful descendants."

The old lady said this very seriously.

But no one at the table was dissatisfied.

No one in the Xie family is ungrateful. On the contrary, they are extremely grateful.

Otherwise, they would not be loyal to the Yuan family.

You should know that when Daqing was not yet established, the Xie family also had the opportunity to become emperor.

It was the ancestors of the Xie family who were loyal and willing to support the Yuan family to become emperor.

"Grandma, we are all family, you don't have to be so polite."

After the old lady finished speaking, Xia Chan also spoke up to express his attitude.

"Although I looked glamorous in the Lin'an Marquis' Mansion, they treated me more as a tool. I never felt the warmth of a family..."

She doesn't need to say too much, but everyone in the Xie family will imagine it.

Xia Chan possesses such amazing abilities at such a young age, so the hardships he has to endure are naturally not something that ordinary people can endure.

What is rare is that even so, she still maintains a sincere heart and does not become a tool of the Marquis...

When the old lady thought of this, she felt even more sorry for Xia Chan.

The same is true for other members of the Xie family.

After the polite words, everyone started to eat.

With space for the summer cicadas, they don’t have to worry about food or clothing.

The meat we eat today is the half pork that Xia Chan brought back from the county magistrate’s kitchen last time.

The pork was smoked into bacon. We had bacon legs for dinner tonight, as well as two rabbits that Xie Lin had hunted, and wild vegetables that Xie Yunying and the others had dug up.

The pig's trotters were stewed, the rabbit was fried, and the wild vegetables were boiled and served cold. Some chili peppers were added to it, and it tasted bitter with a hint of spiciness, and it tasted very good.

It goes very well with rice.

Summer cicadas like to eat this wild vegetable.

I think you can pick more and dry them or cook them directly.

Anyway, their family is not short of money.

There is also a lot of fresh pork, beef and mutton in her space.

They bought all of them during their trip.

Apart from what they bought, they had no shortage of meat to eat living in the mountains.

There are wild animals everywhere around here. They don't hunt tigers, wolves, leopards and the like to eat, but with Xie Lin here, they can catch wild boars, deer, pheasants, ducks, rabbits and the like.

No, now Xie Wenhao and Xie Wenjun are back, and the injuries of the eldest and second brothers are slowly recovering. There will be many people in the family hunting in the future.

No need to worry about running out of meat.

There is no need to worry about food or safety for the time being. The atmosphere in the Xie family is more relaxed than ever before.

Everyone in the family has returned, and now only Xie Lin and their father are left.

However, according to the testimonies of Xie Wenhao, Xie Wenjun, Xie Chang and Xie Yuan, it can be known that Marshal Xie was surrounded by the most people at that time.

Those people divided the three generations of the Xie family into different corners, intending to defeat them one by one.

That's why they were scattered all over the place, and they all thought that the other party had died...

Xia Chan and his friends were lucky as they met the Xie Chang brothers on their first outing, and Xie Wenhao and Xie Wenjun on their second outing.

But when you go out for the third time, you may not meet the old general.

Because whether it was Xie Chang, Xie Yuan, or Xie Wenhao and his brothers, they all remained silent when the chance of the old general surviving was mentioned.

It’s not that everyone is not optimistic.

But they actually saw that General Xie Zhennan was shot by an arrow...

When Xia Chan heard this, she looked up at the expressions of Old Mrs. Xie and her mother-in-law, Xie Su.

I found that their expressions were very solemn.

Sisters Xie Yunying and Xie Yunyao held each other's hands tightly, with very sad expressions.

The three brothers Xie Lin pursed their lips and said nothing. It was obvious that they were also sad.

Before, Xia Chan had thought that after the house was built, perhaps they could consider living in seclusion in this valley.

After all, most of the people from the Xie family who had lost contact have been found.

If one really chooses to escape from the world, then that is understandable.

But now I think it’s not possible.

It is unknown whether General Xie is alive or dead, but as for the other soldiers of the Xie family army who died in vain, each of their lives is a blood debt.

This blood debt must be repaid.

The atmosphere in the cave became solemn.

In the end, it was the old lady who spoke up and told everyone not to think too much and just say that everything was fine as long as the children were back.

As for her son, it all depends on fate.

"Okay, everyone go to bed early. Starting tomorrow, we have to speed up the construction of the house."

The old lady looked at the wooden door blocking the entrance to the cave, then retracted her gaze and said to them, "Winter is coming soon. We need to build the house before it snows."

Although there's nothing wrong with living in a cave during the winter.

But who would want to spend the winter in a cave if they can live in a house?

They are not savages, are they?

Besides, after the winter, in the spring of next year, they will have to cultivate land and grow crops on the plains on the other side of the valley.

When they think about it, there are so many tasks waiting for them.

You can't be decadent, nor can you relax.

After listening to the old lady's words, everyone felt that it made a lot of sense.

It is not known whether the old general is still alive, but those who are still alive must deal with the problems at hand.

Everyone said okay and then went back to the cave to rest.

Originally the cave was divided up nicely and was just enough for them to live in.

Now that Xie Wenhao and Xie Wenjun are back, they have no caves to live in, so they can only live in the big cave in the middle.

Xia Chan put a bed for the two of them in the corner.

This time she learned her lesson and released it along with the bed frame.

Bedding and toiletries were also provided for them.

Xie Wenjun stared intently, watching his aunt produce so many good things as if by magic, his eyes were shining frighteningly.

When Xia Chan put away her things, clapped her hands and prepared to go back to the cave to sleep, Xie Wenjun called her.

"Aunt, do you have any junior sisters, or younger sisters or something?"

If so, could you introduce one to him?
