Chapter 8 Changing Houses

Xia Ye and Xia Xiaojun took a bite of the leftover cakes from the morning. The old Xia family next door also finished their meal. At this time, everyone was sitting, and Xia Yuping was washing dishes and packing things alone.

"Milk, I saw those two little bastards came back, pulling a big cart of firewood."

Xia Yuping, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, frowned when she heard Xia Jinbao's words and looked at what the child had been taught.

"Really? My eldest grandson is the most useful.

Yuping, how long has it been? The bowls haven't been washed yet. Hurry up and clean them up. After you finish cleaning up, go to the next door. After a while, those two will leave again and you still have to wait. Hurry back when the business is done.

I know I won't bring any food rations back to my parents' house, so I don't have to wait until night to eat here. "

Hearing her mother say this, Xia Yuping's heart was filled with emotion. She had long seen through the family's partiality and that her daughter was worthless.

After washing the last bowl, Xia Yuping wiped the water on her hands and went out to the next door.

"Look at her temperament, she doesn't know who she is following. Look at other people's daughters, who doesn't know how to take things back from her parents' house to honor her? But she is so heartless, she still has to give birth to a son. My daughter is of no use at all."

As soon as Xia Yuping walked away, Mrs. Xia began to talk to Mr. Xia.

"Okay, let's wait until later. You don't know why you called her back this time. She has had a good relationship with the boss since she was a child, and the two children also kissed her. Go outside and listen. See what’s going on over there.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Xia reluctantly put Xia Jinbao on the ground.

"Go back to your mother's house and sleep for a while. Only by sleeping well can you grow up. I, Jinbao, will not be like your aunt in the future. Grandma will wait for you to grow up. I am very filial to grandma."

"Okay, go quickly!"

Seeing that the old man was really annoyed, Mrs. Xia walked out.

When Xia Yuping came over, Xia Ye and Xia Xiaojun were preparing to put their baskets on their backs, go out to pick up another cart of firewood, and go to the river to pick up the two rabbits. Xia Yuping, who had followed them without thinking, bumped into each other. With.

Xia Ye couldn't say enough about the original owner's aunt. How should I put it? She felt very sorry for the original owner and Xia Xiaojun, but despite her abilities, she couldn't help much even if she wanted to.

She was also sold to a widower in the town by Mrs.

The man worked at the scrap toll station in the town, and he treated Xia Yuping the same way. After so many years of marriage, he never accompanied Xia Yuping back to her parents' home.

But when Xia's father and Xia's mother passed away, it was this sister-in-law who came back to help arrange Luo's funeral arrangements.

Xia Ye accepted this love for Xiao Xia Ye
  "Auntie, why are you back?"

Xia Yuping glanced outside, closed the door, and pulled Xia Ye and Xia Xiaojun inside.

"Did you really break up with them?"

Xia Ye nodded, also wanting to see what this aunt had to say.

"It doesn't matter if it's divorced. You're old now. Let's wait until my aunt finds out if there's a good family and arranges a marriage for you. Then Xiaojun will be taken to me."

Xia Ye imagined many possibilities, but she didn't expect Xia Yuping to say this.

The three of them sat down and started chatting quietly. Mrs. Xia, who was standing on the other side of the stick, listened for a long time and couldn't hear any movement. She cursed angrily and went back to the house.

"Your uncle is actually very good to me. I didn't let him come back with me for so many years because I was afraid that they would get involved.

My life is going well. Before, I thought that no matter how you two were also children of the Xia family, they wouldn't be so at odds with you.

It was my fault. "

Xia Yuping looked at Xia Ye and Xia Xiaojun and couldn't help but laugh at herself. Seeing that both children could clearly see what kind of people that family was, it was ridiculous that she still expected to get any trace of family affection. “Sister-in-law, you mean that those people next door want to take advantage of our house?”

Xia Yuping nodded, wondering what Xia Ye was thinking.

"Sister-in-law, you go back and tell them that we agree to give them this house, but we have to have a place to live. Let them buy the two houses at the foot of the mountain from the brigade, and I will trade with them."

The two houses at the foot of the mountain were built in the village by an old man and an old woman who were fleeing famine. Not long after they moved in, they both passed away.

Nowadays, feudal and superstitious remarks are not allowed, but people in the village said that the feng shui there was not good, or why not long after the two lively people moved in, no one was there, and there were also people passing by there at night. When I was there, I heard some strange noises, which led to the theory that it was haunted there.

After the two old men were gone, the two houses belonged to the brigade and remained empty.

Today, Xia Ye and Xia Xiaojun happened to pass by when they went to collect firewood. Xia Ye took a quick look and found that the house was not bad. As long as the roof was repaired, it would be fine for people to live in it.

Even if the old Xia family didn't want her to share the two rooms, Xia Ye still didn't want to live too close to that family. There was no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days.

If you want to buy those two houses, you can probably buy them in twenty or thirty. As long as the people in Lao Xia's family are not stupid, they will agree to Xia Ye's condition.

"How can anyone live in that house? People have died in that house."

"The dead have nothing to fear. They are much better than the living people with black hearts and lungs."

Xia Yuping felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.

"Okay, you wait, I'll go back and talk."

Xia Yuping stood up, took out two big albums from her pocket and gave them to Xia Ye.

"Take this money and keep it. Xiaojun will also go to school in the future. There are many places to use the money. If you have any problems, remember to find me."

Xia Yuping didn't give Xia Ye a chance to refuse, so she turned around and left.

I don't know what Xia Yuping said after she returned. Not long after, old Xia Tou hurriedly walked out. When he came back, he brought the village chief, accountant and Xia Yuping over to Xia Ye's side.

"No, these are the title deeds for the two houses at the foot of the mountain. Just do as you told your sister-in-law before, change the houses."

Qi Yunshan looked disapproving, but Xia Ye smiled.

"Uncle Yunshan, don't try to persuade me. I was the one who proposed the house change. My brother and I don't want to live here anymore. Please help us with the procedures, but we have to pack up the house over there first before we move there."

Before Qi Yunshan could speak, the little old man spoke up first.

"Three days at most. Once three days are up, I will close the room."

"Uncle Xia, what do you think? In three days, you have to repair the roof and build the kang. How can you finish it?"

"Then five days, absolutely no more."

The house has been replaced, and Xia Yuping's task has been completed, and there is no need to stay any longer.

When Xia Yuping was about to leave the village, she saw Xia Ye waiting here.

"The rabbits that Xiaojun and I caught are in this basket before we have time to clean them up. Take them back and ask my uncle to clean them up and give some nutrition to my younger brothers and sisters."

Xia Ye placed the basket at Xia Yuping's feet, waved and left.

When Xia Yuping opened the lid and looked inside, she saw a fat rabbit with the twenty yuan she had given Xia Ye before...
