Chapter 55: One Billion in Spending Money?

The two returned to the bun shop, and Xia Changyuan had already hung up a sign that said “Closed.”

Inside the house, Cai Guixiang had not left, but was instead cracking sunflower seeds and criticizing Xia Nanxi.

“Brother, sister-in-law, I’m not saying this to be mean, but Xixi is already married, why is she still so irresponsible? The shop was smashed, a man should handle it, what’s the point of her, a girl, going there?”

Xia Changyuan’s face was dark, and he retorted, “How is Xixi irresponsible? It was your son-in-law who came to smash our shop, why don’t you go and control your son-in-law, instead of coming here to criticize my daughter.”

Cai Guixiang spat out a sunflower seed shell and said disdainfully, “Jianzhou smashed the shop because of Xixi, if Xixi hadn’t stopped Linlin, she would have gone to live a good life with him long ago, these two are always fighting, why does she get involved!”

Xia Changyuan slapped the stone table, his anger rising.

“You’re saying this without a conscience! You don’t care about your own daughter, but you’re here criticizing mine. Xixi should not have gotten involved in your family’s mess, she really stirred up a hornet’s nest.”

Xia Nanxi walked into the courtyard and sat opposite Cai Guixiang.

“Aunt, you’re right, I shouldn’t have gotten involved in your family’s affairs. Since that’s the case, can you return the money you borrowed from my family? It’s not good to get involved in your family’s affairs, and if this money were to be lent out again and something went wrong, it wouldn’t be good.”

Cai Guixiang didn’t expect Xia Nanxi to have heard these words, she awkwardly laughed, “Oh, Xixi, that’s not what I meant, the money your family lent out won’t be returned so soon!”

“Then what do you mean, Aunt? Should my family be the suckers? How come I remember that the money you borrowed before hasn’t been paid back either?”

Xia Nanxi crossed her arms and stared intently at Cai Guixiang, almost as if she could see through her.

“They say even brothers should settle accounts clearly, since we’re already talking about it, let’s calculate how much you’ve taken from my family over the years, and settle the accounts once and for all.”

Upon hearing this, Cai Guixiang’s face immediately changed.

“Xia Nanxi, do you have any manners? Now that you’ve married well, can you talk to your elders like this? The money your parents lent was for your cousin’s wedding, you little b*tch, you just have bad intentions, you made my daughter break up, and now you want to see my son unable to get married?

How can you be so evil!”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard several male voices shouting in unison, “What did you say!”

Xia Changyuan rarely got into arguments with people, but this time he slammed the table and pointed at Cai Guixiang in anger.

Zhan Chengyan stood in front of Cai Guixiang, his eyes cold. He didn’t want to deal with such a woman, but he couldn’t stand to hear her constantly criticize Xia Nanxi.

Three men rushed into the courtyard from outside and stood in front of Cai Guixiang, rolling up their sleeves, almost ready to fight.

“Brother, why did you come back!” Xia Nanxi exclaimed.

Xia Jingyang snorted coldly, “Such a big thing and you dare to hide it from us, what’s going on in this house? We, your brothers, don’t come back, are you going to let a girl handle everything?”

Xia Jingshen glanced at Zhan Chengyan and nodded slightly.

Xia Jingyuan frowned slightly, his gaze still fixed on Cai Guixiang.

“Aunt, if you have nothing to do, take care of your own mess, don’t come to my house looking for trouble. If I hear you criticize Xixi again, don’t blame us for not being considerate of our relatives.”

Cai Guixiang looked at the men filling the courtyard, and sat down on the ground crying.

“This is a sin! You are bullying me because you have more people! What will happen in the future… woo woo woo, neighbors, come and judge for yourselves, this family is getting more and more outrageous!”

Outside the courtyard, neighbors quickly gathered to watch the commotion.

“The Xia family has found a capable son-in-law, they’re so tough now. Look, they’ve been selling buns for so many years, they’ve never offended anyone, this commotion today is really making them famous in Yangchang Lake.”

“That’s right, I just heard that Changyuan’s son-in-law beat up Wang Jianzhou, they’re both sons-in-law, why is the difference so big.”

“Oh my, that’s what they say about Nanxi marrying well.”

Cai Guixiang saw that more and more people were gathering outside, she immediately shouted to them, “You come and be the judge for me, this family is bullying me, they don’t even consider me as their own!”

Xia Zilin heard about the incident and rushed over immediately, even before she finished her confinement.

What she saw was her mother throwing a tantrum.

She pursed her lips and pulled Cai Guixiang up.

“Mom! Stop it!”

Seeing her daughter come, Cai Guixiang spoke with even more confidence.

“You’re just in time, take a good look at how this family bullies me, the Wang family will definitely be angry because of this, if you can’t get married, it’s their fault.”

Cai Guixiang cried to Xia Zilin with tears in her eyes.

It was fine not to mention the Wang family, but mentioning them made Xia Zilin furious.

If it hadn’t been for Xia Nanxi who helped her drive away Wang Jianzhou last time, she didn’t know how badly Wang Jianzhou would have treated her.

Wang Jianzhou was a useless fellow, he was just showing off because his family had some money, this kind of person would never amount to anything.

“I’ve already returned the dowry money, what else do you want? I’m not going to marry Wang Jianzhou! Don’t you know what kind of person he is?”

Cai Guixiang quickly covered Xia Zilin’s mouth, looking at the onlookers in panic.

“What are you looking at! Is it so interesting to watch other people’s business!”

The neighbors whispered and discussed, and eventually dispersed.

Cai Guixiang saw that most of the people had left, she pulled Xia Zilin and scolded her, “Why are you yelling? Are you afraid that others won’t know that you’re engaged but not getting married? Look at you now, how are you going to get married in the future!

The Wang family has good conditions, just endure it, you can enjoy a good life for the rest of your life!”

Xia Zilin threw Cai Guixiang’s hand away, “How can I get married? I didn’t do anything wrong, how I live my life is none of anyone’s business!”

Cai Guixiang frowned, stomped her foot, and said angrily, “Go apologize to the Wang family now, maybe you can still get married, don’t be so stubborn!”

“I’m being stubborn? My happiness for the rest of my life is not important? Why is this me being stubborn, am I still your own daughter?”

“Slap!”

Xu Xiufen suddenly raised her hand and slapped her.

Xia Zilin’s face was turned to the side, a few strands of hair covered half of her face, but the slap mark was still clearly visible.
