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

The old lady spoke.

Xia Chan nodded, "Thank you, grandma."

"You are just being polite, kid." Old Mrs. Xie looked at her with a kind smile between her eyebrows. "Drink it while it's hot. Don't be careless just because you are in good health."

"I know, grandma. I'll drink it right away."

Xia Chan accepted the care of her family's elders without any complaints.

After she finished her soup, Xie Su came over.

She stood on the porch, waiting for the coldness on her body to dissipate a little, then she lifted the curtain and walked in.

Xie Wenhan, who was playing on a crawling mat nearby, immediately reached out his hand and called out to his grandmother when he saw her come in.

Xie Su came forward with a smile on her face and said, "Our Wenhan got up early today, but grandma got up later than Wenhan. She slept in."

"It's freezing cold, and you've already gotten up very early."

Xia Chan stood up and said with a smile.

"Xiaochan, you are making fun of your mother."

Mrs. Xie Su played with the child for a while, then stood up and greeted the old lady.

"Mom, did you sleep well last night?"

Her husband is no longer with us, and Xie Su's task now is to take good care of the old man on her husband's behalf.

"Okay, okay, okay, it's you."

The old lady was quite satisfied with her daughter-in-law Xie Su, but at the same time, she felt very sorry for her.

Maybe other people didn't notice it, but the old lady did.

Xie Su's face, which was lightly powdered, could not hide her haggardness.

That was because she couldn't sleep at night.

"Zhennan left early, you suffered."

The old lady held her daughter-in-law's hand, feeling so heartbroken.

"Mom, what are you talking about? I am living a good life now. My children are all around me, and I have so many sensible grandchildren. My daughter-in-law is living a good life."

"Ugh……"

Whether you live a good life or not is not up to you to decide.

Others also have eyes to see.

At least in the old lady's opinion, Xie Su was not living a very good life.

Xia Chan thinks so too.

My mother-in-law is not doing well.

This cannot be cured by medicine, it is a mental illness.

Over the years, the mother-in-law has been worried about her husband who "died in battle". Xie Zhennan, who has neither been seen alive nor dead, has become a thorn in her heart.

Xia Chan knew that Xie Zhennan was not dead, and Xie Lin also knew that Xie Zhennan was not dead.

But because Xie Zhennan did too many wrong things, there is probably no way for him and Xie Su to continue their relationship.

Rationally speaking, it would be better for everyone if Xie Zhennan were dead.

But how to cure Xie Su’s mental illness?

Xia Chan looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talking on the side, thinking in her heart how to cure Xie Su's worry.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law."

Xie Yunying's cheerful voice came from outside.

The heavy door curtain used to block the wind was lifted by Xie Yunying from the outside, and she ran in with a smile on her face.

"Sister-in-law, Xuya is back."

Xia Chan hummed and raised her eyes, "She didn't come home for the New Year?"

After returning from Mobei, Xuya has been in a bad mood, so Xia Chan asked her to take a vacation and go back to southern Xinjiang to have a look.

Xuya refused at first.

She thought that if she left Xia Chan, she would no longer be able to take care of Xia Chan.

But Xia Chan asked her to go back to the Divine Religion to do some work. Since she had official business to attend to, she naturally had to go.

Because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, Xia Chan's original intention was for Xuya to stay at home and spend the New Year with her family before coming back, but she didn't expect that she would come back today?

How is this going?

Seeing the excitement on Xie Yunying's face, Xia Chan vaguely felt that there was something hidden?

An exciting secret?

She wanted to go outside and take a look.

Xie Su saw through Xia Chan's thoughts, and she smiled and told her to go quickly.

"Wenhan is here, your grandma and I will take care of him, you go and get busy."

"Well, thank you, mom. Thank you for your hard work, grandma."

Xia Chan was not polite. After thanking her, he stood up and followed Xie Yunying out.

Xie Yunying also hurriedly said hello to her grandmother and mother, then turned and left.

Xie Su couldn't help but scold Xie Yunying for not acting like a grown-up girl.

"You're already fifteen years old and are about to meet someone, why are you still acting like a child?"

"What should I do after this?"

Xie Su was very worried.

When the old lady saw her daughter-in-law like this, she couldn't help but laugh, "You just worry too much."

"Whether it's Yunying or Yunyao, they are both good girls, and there will be many people lining up to marry them."

Putting aside the fact that they are good girls, just looking at the current status of the Xie family, can't they marry whoever they want?

There is no need to worry about this at all.

Xie Su was so concerned that she forgot that her son was now a person above everyone else.

.........

Xia Chan and Xie Yunying came outside and saw Xu Ya coming in.

Xu Ya was just about to find Xia Chan to report the gains of this trip to southern Xinjiang, and she crossed the front yard and met him under the corridor connecting the front yard and the back yard.

The first time Xuya saw Xia Chan, she immediately came forward to report to her.

"bishop…"

"Well, it's cold, right? Let's go back to the house first."

Xia Chan interrupted Xuya and asked her to go back to the house to change into clean clothes and tidy herself up before telling her what she saw and heard on the way.

Xuya looked at her boots that were wet and dirty from the snow and nodded, "I'll be there soon."

"Not urgent."

Xia Chan watched Xu Ya leave, and Xie Yunying was still standing on tiptoe to look out.

This aroused Xia Chan's curiosity.

"what happened?"

"Sister-in-law, Xuya didn't come back alone."

Xie Yunying looked excited.

Xia Chan raised her eyebrows slightly. "Oh? Who came back with her?"

"It's Brother Nine, Brother Nine."

This is also the reason why Xie Yunying was so excited.

Xia Chan was stunned for a moment, blinked, and was unable to react. "You mean, Xie Jiu and Xu Ya came back together?"

"Yes, I heard from Sixth Brother that Ninth Brother chased after Xuya not long after she returned." Xie Yunying's face was full of gossip. "Sister-in-law, do you think Ninth Brother caught up with Xuya?"

"Brother Nine is still waiting in the front yard."

The backyard is where the female members of the family live. Except for the Xie family’s main members, even the Xie family’s personal guards, who are second only to the family members, are not allowed to come in often.

This is also the reason why Xie Jiu and others were in the front yard.

If there weren't so many people in the front yard and if the eldest and second brothers weren't at home today, Xie Yunying really wanted to run to the front yard and ask Xie Jiu directly.

Oh, maybe she could ask Sixth Brother quietly?

"..."

Xia Chan looked at Xie Yunying with an excited face. She really didn't know why this girl liked gossip so much?

But then again, she also really wanted to know.

Cough cough cough...

Although I am already a mother, I am still a teenager after all, so it is understandable that I am a little curious.

"Let's go and ask Xuya together?"

Xia Chan suggested.

Xie Yunying was waiting for this sentence from her sister-in-law.

"Come on, sister-in-law, let's go."
