Chapter 227 The Tragedy of a Dancer (10)
She was able to protect Grandpa Xia for so many years, so she should protect her son for a lifetime!
"From today onwards, you will stay at home obediently and do some embroidery to earn money!"
"I'll let Mingzhu take care of my medicine and prepare it! She's a young woman now, and she should learn to manage household chores so that she won't be looked down upon when she marries into her husband's family!"
"mother,…"
"Enough said, it's settled then!"
Granny Li made the final decision.
It seems she intends to nip Xia's mother's little scheme in the bud, effectively placing her under house arrest.
A sense of despair rose in Xia's mother's heart, and she turned her pleading gaze to her two children.
Feeling her mother's intense gaze, Xia Mingzhu hesitated for a moment before finally turning her head away.
It's not that she didn't want to plead for her, but didn't her mother know that?
In this family, Grandma is the one who makes the decisions. Right now, Grandma is furious, and it's about something as important as "remarriage." What can a junior like her say?
As a girl, surviving in this family is already difficult enough. Why can't her mother understand her?
As for Xia Tianyao, he remained indifferent, not taking the matter to heart at all.
These household matters are best left to his grandmother and mother to handle!
He's a man, someone destined for great things; how could he concern himself with such trivial matters? If word gets out, he'll just become a laughingstock!
Seeing that his two children, whom he had loved so much for so many years, were unwilling to lend a helping hand.
A wave of sorrow washed over Xia's mother, and she turned her pleading gaze to Xia Mingwei.
Although this trouble was caused by that wretched girl, Xia's mother also knew the principle that "the truth will eventually come out."
If you keep a close eye on things, one day this matter will reach Granny Li's attention.
Xia Mingwei has simply brought this matter forward.
For some reason, when she heard Granny Li question her about whether she wanted to remarry, she felt much more at ease.
As long as this wretched girl is willing to plead for her and change Granny Li's mind, then she will be magnanimous and not hold her mistakes against her!
Just as Xia's mother was about to say something, she was interrupted by Xia Mingwei's soft chuckle.
"Mom, why are you giving me such intense looks?"
"You wouldn't expect me to plead for you, would you?"
As she said this, Xia Mingwei covered her mouth in surprise.
That expression was as exaggerated as it could possibly be.
Xia's mother, her face flushed red with embarrassment, like a cat whose sore spot had been stepped on. "What nonsense are you spouting?"
Xia Mingwei breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, I thought you had such thoughts!"
"In this family, you dote on your younger brother and sister the most. They didn't even plead for you, so do you expect me to?"
After saying this, Xia Mingwei ignored the extremely unpleasant look on her mother's face and continued talking to herself.
"Besides, if I were willing to plead for you, I wouldn't have exposed this matter today!"
After saying that, Xia Mingwei shrugged indifferently, looking completely unconcerned.
Xia's mother was immediately provoked by this appearance, rolled up her sleeves, and was about to hit her.
Xia Mingwei sneered inwardly. Just now, she refused to resist Granny Li or complain about Xia Mingzhu and Xia Tianyao, but now she's trying to show off her power in front of her!
Even if you want to pick the weakest one, you still have to consider whether you have the ability to do so!
She's no pushover these days!
Just as Xia Mingwei was about to add another dramatic touch to her mother's injuries, Granny Li called out to her.
"Enough! If you keep making a scene, aren't you as ridiculous as you've made today?"
"If you want to stay in this house any longer, you'd better behave yourself and stop causing trouble!"
Granny Li's words were firm and resounding. Mother Xia hesitated, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.
