The news that Song Wenshan was a murderer swept through the village like a whirlwind, sparking heated discussions and surprise among the villagers.

The Xia family was even more surprised when they heard this.

Xia Dequan was filled with emotion: "Xiao Rou is so lucky. If she hadn't divorced Song Wenshan early, she would have always been labeled as the wife of a murderer. But it doesn't affect her at all, and she can start her life over again."

However, Xia Chen had other ideas.

She said to her husband worriedly, "Dad, I'm telling you, you can't let Xia Xiaorou come back home! I'm absolutely against it!"

Xia Dequan said impatiently: "I have no such plan."

Despite this, Xia Chen still had doubts.

Carrying a small stove to warm her hands, she walked through the thick snow and came to Song Yanbai's home.

A big hole was smashed in the wall of a side room in Song Yanbai's house by Song Liushi, Song Gaofu and his men.

Song Yanbai and Chu Xianyun are trying hard to fill the gap with thatch.

Xia Xiaorou stood behind them, helping to pass the straw.

Xia Chen stood at the door, staring coldly at everything in front of her, strode to Xia Xiaorou, and shouted in a stern tone: "Xia Xiaorou! Come here!"

Xia Xiaorou turned around, with a hint of coldness in her eyes, and looked at Xia Chenshi, and asked in a flat tone: "Oh, it turns out to be my stepmother, I wonder what you want to see me about?"

When Xia Chen saw that Xia Xiaorou was standing there motionless, with no intention of obeying her orders, the anger in her heart was instantly ignited.

She gnashed her teeth and said, "Xia Xiaorou, you dare to be so rude, can't I, your stepmother, call you back?"

Seeing this, Song Yanbai, who was standing by, quickly turned around, gently brushed the dust off his sleeves, and tried to ease the atmosphere with a gentle smile on his face, "Auntie, calm down, let's talk slowly. It's almost the New Year, so it's better for everyone to be harmonious."

Chu Xianyun also smiled and walked to Xia Chenshi, gesturing, "Please come in and sit down?"

Xia Chen was dismissive of Chu Xianyun and ignored her completely.

She suppressed her anger, glared at Xia Xiaorou, and loudly rebuked: "I want to talk to her calmly, but has Xia Xiaorou ever listened to me seriously?"

Xia Xiaorou's voice was still cold and firm: "If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. I still have a lot of things to deal with."

Xia Chen noticed that Xia Xiaorou always maintained a cold expression, and she couldn't help feeling a little secretly happy in her heart.

If Xia Xiaorou was really dissatisfied with her, then she would naturally not be willing to return to the Xia family.

This is a good thing.

"Okay, now that you are powerful, you see I am indifferent to you. If you ignore me, I will not bother to pay attention to you. I came here today to tell you what your father said. He doesn't want you to go back. You should find a place to live by yourself. A married woman is like spilled water. You have nothing to do with the Xia family!" Xia Chen said proudly.

Xia Xiaorou raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile: "Stepmother, you said the same thing once before, and I always remember it. I will not return to the Xia family to live. If there is anything in the Xia family in the future, don't look for me."

Xia Chen was delighted to hear this.

Will she look for Xia Xiaorou? Will she ask Xia Xiaorou for help? Unless the sun rises from the west.

Xia Chen turned around and looked at Xia Xiaorou who was laughing happily. She said sarcastically, "You take yourself too seriously. The Xia family will not look for you. With someone like you, why would we ask you for help? Stop talking big."

After saying that, she left with a big laugh.

Xia Xiaorou looked at her back with a sneer on her lips.

She knew in her heart why Xia Chen came and said such words.

Because she is free now, and Song Yanbai's house is dilapidated and uninhabitable.

Xia Chen was worried about her food and accommodation when she returned to her parents' home.

But she won't go back.

In fact, after she made money in her previous life, people from the Xia family kept coming to her house to ask for money.

She was soft-hearted in her previous life, always thinking that after her husband passed away, the people in her husband's family would get married or die one after another.

The stepson she was looking after was also naughty and disobedient.

Although the Xia family is ruthless, she cannot be disloyal.

But in the end, when she was seriously ill, no one from the Xia family came to see her.

It's really not worth it.

Even if the Xia family came to her crying and begging again, she would never be soft-hearted. Because they had hurt her too many times, and this kind of hurt had already made her heart as hard as iron.

Song Yanbai and Chu Xianyun looked at Xia Xiaorou standing there with a lonely expression, wondering what she was thinking.

The two walked over and comforted her: "Xiao Rou, don't be sad, this is your home. Since Yuan'er is not at home, you can live in his house."

Xia Xiaorou smiled slightly, indicating that she didn't care about these things.

She said, "I'm not sad. I've heard too many things from my stepmother since I was a child. As for where to live, let's live in a house far away. But we will move out in a few days."

However, at this moment, a cold shout suddenly came from the gate of the fence, interrupting the conversation between Xia Xiaorou, Song Yanbai and others.

Xia Xiaorou turned her head and saw Zhou Maoxun's mother, Xia family's aunt Zhou Xia, striding towards them.

Xia Xiaorou frowned slightly, feeling a little confused. She didn't understand why this aunt suddenly appeared.

"Aunt, why are you here?" Xia Xiaorou didn't have much affection for this aunt and asked casually.

As far as she could remember, her father's only sister had been married and rarely returned to her parents' home.

Even so, Zhou Xia only talked with Xia Chen and her son, and never looked at her directly.

Xia Chen had three sons. The eldest son Xia Jicai and the eldest daughter Xia Chunfang were both born to her ex-husband, while the youngest son Xia Mincai was born to Xia Chen and Xia Dequan.

However, this aunt not only favored Xia Mincai, but also regarded the son and daughter born to Xia Chen and her ex-husband as treasures.

As for her, her sister Xia Xiaoying and her brother Xia Changyuan, they were treated as other people's children and were either ignored or despised.

I didn't expect that I would come to Song Yanbai's house to look for her today.

As the saying goes, there is no gain without pain, so it must not be a good thing.

"Why am I here? Humph, you know it well!" Zhou Xia snorted coldly, strode towards Xia Xiaorou, raised her palm, and slapped Xia Xiaorou's cheek hard.

However, Xia Xiaorou had already anticipated that she would take action and quickly dodged the slap.

"Did Aunt get humiliated outside today, so she comes to take it out on me?" Xia Xiaorou asked sarcastically.

"Xia Xiaorou, you are pretending to be confused, right?" Zhou Xia put her hands on her hips and scolded Xia Xiaorou, "You have no man to marry, so you seduce your cousin, right? You are so shameless."
