“You did something wrong, so it’s only right that you be punished. If you didn’t do anything wrong, you’re not being punished. What else do you want?”
Xia Wan laughed coldly in her heart. At that moment, Yan Han and Xia Hai rushed over.
It turned out that when Xia Wan went out to put on an act, she had already secretly told Xia Feng to call his parents back.
Since she was prepared to put on a big show today, how could her parents not watch? She wanted to put on a show and let her father see Li Jin’s face. She wanted her father to understand how much Li Jin disliked her family.
As she earned continued to earn more, her family would definitely be better off. Instead of letting Li Jin and the others take advantage of her, it was better to find a reason to divide the family now.
Xia Hai saw his daughter’s sad face and immediately stood by Xia Wan’s side to protect her.
“Mom,” Xia Hai said to Li Jin, “What’s going on? Why are you scolding Wanwan like this?”
Li Jin snorted coldly. “Look at The good daughter you’ve raised. I can’t even control her anymore. I only searched her body, and she made a big fuss as if I was wrong.
“She’s even saying that if I don’t find any extra money on her, I should apologize to her. I’m her grandmother! How dare she make me apologize?”
Even though Xia Hai had come, Li Jin’s face still looked domineering. It was clear that she wasn’t taking Xia Hai and Yan Han seriously.
Xia Hai was the most filial son. He would listen to anything she said. Even if she were to lecture Xia Wan now, he would have to hold it in even if he was unhappy.
After so many years, Li Jin had gotten used to Xia Hai’s obedience, so even when he asked her what had happened and even tried to protect Xia Wan, Li Jin didn’t take it seriously.
Yan Han saw her own daughter crying so pitifully, and her heart ached as she pulled Xia Wan into her arms.
“My Wanwan, don’t cry. Mom is back. My incapability has caused you to suffer so much. Don’t worry. No one can bully you with me around.”
Yan Han held Xia Wan in her arms and started crying as well. The two hugged and cried, making Xia Hai’s heart ache.
However, on one side was his mother, and on the other side, was his wife and daughter. Xia Hai felt a headache coming on, and he did not know what to choose.
“Mother, can we just let this slide? It’s difficult for Wanwan to find a job, and she will start school soon. Even if she can earn money, how much can she
earn? This money will be her pocket money, okay?”
Li Jin snorted. “Of course not. You know that she’s still in school and she needs to spend her family’s money. Her fees and living expenses are all money. Since she can earn so much, then let her pay for her fees and living expenses. In the future, you should let her pay for her school fees herself. I won’t care.”
When Xia Hai heard this, he was a little taken aback. He could not help but say, “Mother, I’ve pa.s.sed you my monthly salary. If you don’t pay for Wanwan’s school fees and living expenses, how can she earn enough?”
Although Xia Hai knew that Xia Wan made quite a lot by selling clothes, he still believed that the money she earned was her own. His daughter was still in school, and as a father, he was responsible for footing her tuition and expenses. How could he let his daughter pay for it herself?
Li Jin was unmoved. She continued, “She’s already earning on her own, so of course, she’ll pay for it herself. Otherwise, what’s the point of her earning money? She didn’t hand over the money she earned to me, so I don’t have to pay her school fees.”
Li Jin’s att.i.tude was very obvious. If Xia Wan gave all her money to her today, she could still pay for Xia Wan’s tuition and living expenses. However, if she didn’t let her search her body and refuse to give up the money, she would completely ignore the problem of Xia Wan’s expenses.
Even Xia Hai, who had always been filial, could not help but feel a chill in his heart when he saw his mother’s att.i.tude. The corners of his mouth turned bitter.
After all these years, he knew that his mother was biased. She treated his two brothers better than him, and she was closer to their children than his. Despite all that, Xia Hai endured.
He knew that it was not easy for his mother to raise all three of her sons. He was very understanding of his mother, but now, in front of so many people, she took not the slightest consideration for his feelings as her son. She did not care about what others said. All she wanted was for everyone to see her favoritism..
