Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xia Ye frowned as she watched. She felt that Xia Wan seemed to have changed. In the past, Xia Wan would always speak up whenever she encountered something. Even if she was wronged, she would not cry. Instead, she would shout that Li Jin was being unfair.
However, no one would sympathize with her. Instead, they would think that Li Jin was right to teach Xia Wan a lesson. In their eyes, she was being unfilial and insensible.
But now that Xia Wan was crying, it was as if Li Jin was the one in the wrong.
At this time, Li Jin finally stood firm, but her body was still staggering. He looked at Xia Wan with anger in her eyes. “You brat, you actually dared to attack your grandmother? I’ll teach you a lesson today!”
As she spoke, she raised her hand, as if she was going to hit Xia Wan.
Seeing this, Xia Chen and Xia Feng subconsciously stood in front of Xia Wan to prevent Li Jin from touching her.
“Mother, what are you doing!” At this moment, a voice rang out. It was Yan Han, who had just returned from outside.
Long before she entered the house, she heard Li Jin’s yelling. Just now, Yan Han’s heart ached when she saw that Li Jin was going to hit Xia Wan.
She stood in front of Xia Wan and said to Li Jin, “Mother, if you have something to say, just say it. Why do you have to fight?”
Li Jin laughed coldly and reached out to twist Yan Han’s ear. you’re in no place to interrupt me when I’m talking. You’ve got some guts.
“Ahh, mother, it hurts!!!” Yan Han had been twisted suddenly, and the pain in her ear made her cry out subconsciously.
Seeing Yan Han’s ear being pulled, Xia Wan couldn’t be bothered to act pitiful anymore. She directly shouted at Li Jin. “Let go of my mother!”
Xia Wan’s sudden sternness startled Li Jin, and she subconsciously let go of Yan Han’s ear.
She had never seen such a terrifying side of Xia Wan. The way she stared at her was as if she was about to tear Li Jin apart.
Xia Ye, who was the closest to Xia Wan, was even more shocked.
If she had only suspected that Xia Wan had changed before, now that she saw the look in Xia Wan’s eyes, she was even more certain that Xia Wan had grown up and was much more scheming than before.
Such a change wasn’t necessarily a good thing.
In the past, Xia Wan was so naive that she usually took the blame for a lot of things, wanting to avoid any trouble.
By the time Li Jin returned to her senses, she had already let go of Yan Han and felt a little embarra.s.sed.
Xia Wan was just a little girl. Why would she be afraid of her?
Although she felt that something was wrong, her body was subconsciously afraid just now.
When Xia Wan saw Li Jin let go of Yan Han, she also retracted her frightening gaze. She then stared at Li Jin seriously and said word by word, “I’ll only say it once. We didn’t steal your money.”
Although Li Jin’s imposing manner had weakened, he still shouted, “If you didn’t steal the money, then who did? I heard that you three went to the county to eat beef noodles. Even I feel it’s expensive. I’ve never eaten beef noodles before, but you three actually had it? If it wasn’t you who stole the money, what else could it be?”
“I just happened to lose 10 yuan, and you guys went for beef noodles. You must have stolen it.”
In fact, Li Jin didn’t have enough evidence to prove that the three were the thieves, but it was a fact that her money was gone. Undoubtedly, immediately pinned the blame on the three of them.
Looking at Xia Chen and Xia Feng, who were protecting Xia Wan, Li Jin felt more and more annoyed.
Although Xia Chen and Xia Feng were also her grandsons, she really couldn’t bring herself to like them.
Xia Chen always looked depressed in front of her. He didn’t speak much and kept everything to himself, just like his father, Xia Hai.
Of her three sons, Xia Hai was the one she cared the least about. Naturally, she disliked her grandson, who looked like Xia Hai, even more.
As for Xia Feng, he was quite talkative at such a young age. Sometimes, when Xia Yu ate Xia Wan’s meat, he would make a fuss, saying that it was Xia Wan’s meat and that he wouldn’t let Xia Yu eat it.
What a joke. Xia Wan was just a little girl. She would be married off sooner or later and become the problem of another person.
What right did he have to eat their meat now? The meat in their house should be given to their sons and grandsons.
As for her granddaughters, if they were like Xia Ru and Xia Ye, they would’ve been obedient, studied hard, and make her happy and proud. If they ate meat, then so be it. If they married well in the future, they could help the family.
But Xia Wan?
She couldn’t see what greatness Xia Wan held in store.
The more she thought about it, the angrier Li Jin became. She snapped unabashedly, “You stole ten yuan from me. I have to teach you a lesson. Call your father, Xia Hai, over. I want him to pay ten times the amount you stole!
