Don't worry, I have food, money and space.

Chapter 70 It’s Your Family’s Time to Pay (Edited)

Xia Zhaocai spoke first. He walked in front of Xia Chengan with a gloomy face: "Are you telling the truth? Do you dare to take responsibility for what you said?"

Xia Chengan was neither annoyed nor angry, and said slowly: "If you don't believe it, you can go and ask around yourself."

It was impossible for Xia Zhaocai not to believe it now. He had been very confident in his two nephews, thinking that one day he could take advantage of his nephews' fame and become a superior person. Now that his dream is shattered, how could he not be angry?

When Xia Baolin heard what Xia Chengan said, he secretly thought that something was wrong and at the same time blamed Xia Chengan for being too talkative. When Xia Zhaocai saw that Xia Baolin remained silent, he already understood everything.

When Chen saw that her grandson was silent, she knew that her dream of becoming an official grandmother was gone. She wanted to be angry, but for now she had to unite against the outside world.

"You little bitch, what nonsense are you talking about? My Baolin's legs are fine. Don't move him for me. Give me the money quickly!" Chen said as she spread her hands and asked Ye for money.

"Someone, come and open the ancestral hall! I want to divorce Dali's wife on his behalf!" The clan leader was quite old, and on his way here, someone told him everything that happened here.

Chen was furious when she heard what the clan leader said: "Why do you want to divorce me on Dali's behalf? What did I do wrong?"

The clan leader sneered: "You still have the nerve to ask me what I did wrong? Haven't you done enough wrong things over the years? You forced the third branch to break off relations with you! Now you are carrying these two people to their doorstep. What do you want to do?"

The clan leader's cane slammed on the ground, making a thumping sound. "You said I have no right to divorce you? What a joke. I am the clan leader and have the right to deal with clan members. You are not a good mother-in-law, a good grandmother, and a mother, but you don't teach. Do you think I have the right to divorce Dali's wife on his behalf?"

Chen was trembling and silent. She really didn't expect that the clan leader would say such words.

In fact, the clan leader was really angry with the people of the Xia family. He really did not expect that the people of the Xia family could be so shameless.

Only then did Chen realize that she was in trouble. She looked at her son and daughter-in-law in panic, hoping they could speak up for her.

Chen quickly knelt down and begged with tears: "Patriarch, please don't, you can't divorce me on behalf of Dali, I beg you, I am so old, if I am divorced, I will really have no way to survive."

The clan leader just snorted coldly and didn't say anything. Chen looked at the Xia Baolin brothers again. She gritted her teeth and said to the two sons behind her: "What are you two still doing? Hurry up and carry them away. They are such a disgrace."

Xia Zhaocai and Xia Zhaoli carried Xia Baolin away without saying a word, while Xia Baoming was carried away by the two brothers Xia Baojin, and Chen followed them and ran away.

Zhao and Zheng followed closely behind, and the farce ended just like that. Everyone continued to do what they were supposed to do.

The first thing Chen did when she returned home was to pat her chest and secretly thank God for running fast, otherwise she would be divorced today.

She is so old. If she is divorced, she can't go back to her parents' home and her husband's family won't accept her, so she can only wait for death.

Chen just sat down and wanted to drink some hot tea, but found that the tea was cold. Chen slammed the teacup on the table with a bang: "Xia Yaoyao, get over here!"

When Xia Yaoyao heard Chen's voice, her body shook uncontrollably and she walked slowly towards Chen: "Grandma, is there something you want me to do?"

"You little rascal, what are you doing in your room all day without even making tea? Are you the reincarnation of a lazy bug? Or do you really think you are some big lady who needs to be served by others?"

Xia Yaoyao lowered her head, not daring to speak, and could only whisper back: "Grandma, I was wrong, I'll go boil a pot right now."

After saying this, Xia Yaoyao left quickly, fearing that Chen would come and scold her. Xia Yaoyao went to the kitchen to boil water, suppressing her unhappiness and clumsily started to light a fire and boil water.

Ever since Xia Yanxin's family severed their relationship, the housework of the old Xia family basically fell on Xia Yaoyao, and now she no longer has the delicate and tender appearance she used to have.

Xia Yaoyao's hands are now covered with thin calluses.

After Chen scolded Xia Yaoyao, she felt much better. She sat in the lobby and began to wonder whether Xia Chengan's family words were credible.

"Mom, I'm going to the town tomorrow to find out if what Xia Cheng'an said is true. If it is true, then wouldn't all our efforts over the years be in vain?"

Xia Zhaocai glared at his elder brother and then said, "Mother, even if Lin'er can't pursue a career in government, it doesn't matter. He can be a guest official, or be someone's accountant, or even a shopkeeper."

Zhao also chimed in: "That's right! After all, Lin'er can read and is talented, so he will be able to find a good job."

Chen said nothing. After all, this was her grandson whom she had loved for so many years. "Okay, no matter what, Lin'er can read and write, so he can still find a decent job. When the time comes, we can find him a good wife, which can also help us."

Zhao was delighted: "Mother, you are really thoughtful."

Zheng on the side was not happy with this. She immediately started to make a scene: "Mother, you can't be so partial. Our two children from the first house haven't married yet. How can you marry a wife for the second house first? Aren't you afraid that people will laugh at us?"

Zhao glanced at Zheng and said, "Is it because I don't want to find them wives? Don't you see what kind of people they are? Who in this area doesn't know them?"

"If mother hadn't been partial to the second wife, would they have become like this? They were very well behaved in the beginning. If mother hadn't been partial to the second wife, they wouldn't have ended up messing around out there." Zheng was dissatisfied and wanted to bring up old issues.

Chen slammed the table and said, "You're rebelling! You're rebelling! You don't want to listen to me, do you?"

In the past, Xia Zhaocai would have stopped his wife from saying this, but today he did not stop her. Instead, he hoped that his wife would say more.

"Mom, I don't mean anything else. I just want you to be fair and not be so obviously biased."

Chen was furious: "You...you have been married to my family for so many years, but what kind of hardship have you endured? For so many years, you didn't have to wash the dishes, sweep the floor, do the housework, or earn money. What else do you want?"

Zheng said unconvincedly: "Mother, what you said is really heartbreaking. I haven't done any work in all these years, but you don't have to work either, right? We are all the same."

Chen covered her chest, not intending to quarrel with Zheng anymore, and changed the subject abruptly: "You are so ungrateful. Go back to your parents' home tomorrow to get some money back for me. And Zhao, you too, go back tomorrow to get some money back for me. If you can't get it back, you don't have to come back."

"Humph! If you want to get the money, it should be my second sister-in-law who goes back to get the silver. I won't take it, and I can't get it! We paid so much before, and now it's their turn to pay."
