"Okay, you three go back to the house for dinner!" Xia Qiyue quickly pulled the three little guys away from the battlefield and waited for the others to make a fuss.
Sure enough, as the eldest grandson, An Qingming's face turned dark after seeing that Boss An only gave Xuan'er copper coins.
"Grandpa, why did you only give it to An Qingxuan but not to me? I am the eldest grandson of this family!"
"I want it too!" An Qingyu followed closely and shouted.
When his two sons started arguing, An Zicheng pretended not to see them and just sat there.
The rules dictate that no one dares to eat if the old man doesn't move his chopsticks, and if he makes a fuss this time, he won't even be able to eat.
Leader Lao An did not explain, but slammed the table, "What does it look like? You can question the elders? Boss, look at the good son you taught! Get out of here if you don't want to eat!"
"Dad, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, these two brats need to be dealt with!" Liu Mei hurriedly came out to smooth things over, and she felt uncomfortable not being able to eat.
"Hmph..." Mr. An snorted heavily and wanted to say something else. Mrs. An couldn't help it and spoke out.
"Old man, hurry up and eat these dumplings filled with white flour and meat stuffing. I never had such good dumplings during the Chinese New Year in previous years!"
After saying that, he put one in his bowl.
Seeing Lao Antou eating dumplings, everyone started to eat with their chopsticks. The scene was really spectacular. The An family brothers showed off two dumplings in one mouthful.
Xia Qiyue just turned around and wanted to go back to her room to have dinner with her younger brothers, sisters and children, but she was stopped by Mrs. An.
"Fourth family member, why don't you sit down and eat together?" The old woman's mouth was full of dumplings and meat, and she slurred her invitation.
Xia Qiyue shook her head, and just when she was about to say no, the old lady said again, "The children will eat as long as they are down there. You are a senior member of this family, how can you not serve it on the table!"
Xia Qiyue had no choice but to step forward and sit down, but seeing that she was eating quickly without any impact, she had no appetite at all.
I quickly put two dumplings in a bowl and watched the people rushing to eat them.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for all the appetites on the table to be wiped away. Everyone was so full that they burped.
The old lady put down her chopsticks, looked at Xia Qiyue and said, "My mother has made the decision to return Ling'er to the third family. She should take care of the child she gave birth to. What do you think?"
Everyone who was doing this raised their heads and looked at Xia Qiyue. Ge Mingyu's three sisters-in-law had known about this for a long time, so even though she was unwilling, Ge Mingyu didn't say anything.
As for Xia Qiyue, although she had known about this for a long time, she still didn't expect the old lady to be so shameless.
She smiled and said slowly, "Since that's what mother means, then I can't help but give mother this face! Then give it back to the third sister-in-law. Mother can just give me the money before she leaves!"
But when the old lady heard this, she quit and said, "What money?"
Xia Qiyue looked up suspiciously, "Have you forgotten, mother? Ling'er is the girl I bought with money!" Xia Qiyue looked at Ge Mingyu again, "Won't Third Sister-in-law forget it too? She gave it to her at that time.
There are eight taels of silver!"
Ge Mingyu immediately shook his head, "I haven't forgotten that the fourth brother and sister did give him money!"
But the old woman said with a dark face, "Look at you kid, why do you care so much about this little money? We are all a family, and my mother is doing this for you. It's not easy for you to raise two kids. How can I let you raise three?"
, the fourth child is not here either, it’s not easy for you!”
Xia Qiyue nodded, "Mom knows me best. It is indeed not easy for me. Raising three children sometimes makes me hungry and full. Since my mother has made the decision to return the children to the third sister-in-law, then return my money to me."
, I thank you mother for your understanding!"
Ge Mingyu lowered his head and said nothing, but his heart was filled with joy. Hahaha, the old woman would definitely not want Ling'er back. Eight taels of silver was her life, so how could she give it away.
Looking at the appearance of the fourth younger sister, she wouldn't give money to the child if she didn't want it. That's fine. As long as she doesn't give it to the child, she will be happy.
The old lady glanced at the old man, but she didn't discuss it beforehand. The old man didn't know what the old lady was thinking. He couldn't help her at the moment. He even blamed the old lady for taking matters into her own hands.
The old woman was helpless. After thinking for a long time, she suddenly thought of a way. Her eyes lit up and she looked at Xia Qiyue and said, "It's from the fourth family. Mom really can't afford so much money to return it to you. How about this, give the spirit to me?"
Change your child to Yu'er or Ming'er. They are older and can help you a lot, much more useful than Ling'er! What do you think?"
Xia Qiyue sneered in her heart, this calculation was just written on her face, how could she not see it? But she still looked at the old lady in embarrassment.
"Mom, you have seen that although I am doing business, the money I earn is only enough for food and clothing. Ming'er Yu'er will be able to work, but she also has a lot to eat. I'm afraid I can't afford it. I still
Keep Ling'er, Ling'er doesn't eat much, she is well-behaved and sensible, and she can also help me look after my two younger brothers and sisters, which is great!"
"Fourth Aunt, I don't have much to eat, so please keep me! That girl Ling'er will get married sooner or later, and I am the eldest grandson of the Lao An family!"
Without waiting for the old couple to say anything, An Qingming spoke up, talking about Lao An's eldest grandson, as if someone cares about the eldest grandson of Lao An's family.
"Yes, the fourth brother and sister, tomorrow will be fifteen years old. If you keep him, he can help you with your work. He is the eldest grandson of the Lao An family. If you want to raise him, don't raise a girl."
Liu Mei immediately helped.
After hearing this, Boss Lao An also came to his senses. This eldest grandson is already fifteen years old. After the Chinese New Year, he is already sixteen years old. He is about to get a wife. If he can let the fourth family member stay,
You no longer have to worry about your future.
Therefore, Chief Lao An also joined the ranks of persuasion, and his persuasion was a direct order.
"From the Fourth Brother's family, please return Ling'er to your third sister-in-law and replace it with Ming'er!"
With one sentence of command, I felt that the matter was settled.
But after Xia Qiyue heard this, she also realized her mistake. Was she too embarrassed by the old couple and made them think she was easy to bully?
"Father, mother, I have my own son, and I have no shortage of sons! Let the eldest brother and sister-in-law leave the eldest brother and sister-in-law to take care of them until they die!" Xia Qiyue said calmly.
"Fourth family member, if you want to raise the grandson of our Lao An family, what's the use of raising a girl?" Mrs. An became anxious and shouted loudly.
Liu Mei nodded at the side, "Yes, four younger sisters, what's the use of raising a girl? There are so many grandchildren in Lao An's family, which one are you not good at raising?"
In everyone's opinion, Xia Qiyue should raise a boy instead of a girl.
"One! I have a son, and I don't need anyone else's son! Two, my surname is Xia, not An, and your old An family's mission of bringing glory to our family has nothing to do with me. I just need to raise my son and daughter well! Three, we divide
We are family, don’t take advantage of each other in the name of a family! This meal is also because dad gave us money, and we celebrate the New Year together. It’s not that I agree with you being able to dictate what you want here!"
