Chapter 114: Chapter 113 Fainting (300+ Monthly Tickets)
As soon as Xia Wei saw Xia Xiao had returned, she hurried over and said, "That’s Uncle’s mother-in-law, she’s formidable."
"Where’s Xia Jianguo? Call Xia Jianguo out. My daughter married into the Xia family, bore children..." Mrs. Zhao recounted Zhao Xiaolan’s merits and hard work. She was very unhappy that the Xia family had kicked her daughter out during the New Year celebrations and also because Xia Jianguo had slapped Zhao Xiaolan, almost causing the Zhao family to explode with anger. They nearly came to make a scene in the middle of the night.
They had waited all day but hadn’t seen Xia Jianguo come to apologize. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, there was still no sign of Xia Jianguo, so the Zhao family couldn’t hold back anymore.
"Xia Jianguo has already been kicked out by me. If you want him, go find him," Old Lady Xia said, her heart fuming with rage.
If she had known the Zhao family was like this, she would have never agreed to the marriage. Now, Old Lady Xia was blaming her eldest son, Xia Jianguo.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao couldn’t take it anymore and shouted, "Divorce, there must be a divorce. If your Xia family doesn’t give our Zhao family a proper response today, we don’t want this marriage either."
"Fine, let’s divorce. It’s not like we’re afraid of you," Xia Xiao’s elder aunt exploded with anger. The Zhao family acted as if there was no one in the Xia family, daring to make such a scene. Moreover, on New Year’s Eve, they prevented their daughter and son-in-law from returning to their maternal home for dinner, committing such an excessive act.
"Exactly, let’s just divorce," Xia Xiao’s second aunt echoed.
"You Zhao family came here to make trouble just to talk about divorce, didn’t you? Just say it directly, no need to pretend," Aunt Xia said.
"Mom," Zhao Xiaolan tugged at her mother. She hadn’t thought about divorcing Xia Jianguo. Although her relationship with the two elder aunts was average, hearing them so readily agree to the divorce, Zhao Xiaolan really started despising them.
However, at this moment Zhao Xiaolan’s sister-in-law was holding Zhao Xiaolan back, not letting her speak and added, "Look, the Xia family obviously doesn’t like you. If your family doesn’t stand up for you this time, you’re going to have a tough time in the Xia family."
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaolan let her parents and brother make a scene.
"See, the Xia family can’t tolerate my sister anymore; they’re just waiting for a divorce. Look at your attitude; if you don’t give our Zhao family a satisfactory explanation today, we’ll just stay here and not leave," Zhao Xiaolan’s elder brother said stubbornly.
At first, their family thought the Xia family wouldn’t want a divorce, and if the Xia family didn’t want to separate, they could negotiate terms. Unexpectedly, the Xia family’s attitude today was also very firm.
The Zhao family didn’t know that the New Year’s Eve dinner had already annoyed the Xia family, and it wasn’t just a simple overnight freeze; the Zhao family’s usual behavior had long dissatisfied the Xia family. Now, with the Zhao family making a scene, it only added insult to injury.
Xia Xiao looked around at the chaotic scene inside her home, even the front door was kicked several times, and her grandfather’s face was pale with anger. Xia Xiao’s heart dropped, thinking about her grandfather’s poor health and how problematic it would be if he was angered further.
"Jianguo is back," the Eldest Aunt Xia said the moment she saw her younger brother return, eagerly announcing it.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xia Jianguo.
But when Zhao Xiaolan’s elder brother saw Xia Jianguo, he rushed up and kicked him, knocking Xia Jianguo to the ground unprepared.
Everyone gasped, and Zhao Xiaolan screamed in shock. She hadn’t expected her elder brother to rush up and hit Xia Jianguo.
Xia Baoguo and Xia Weiguo immediately tried to intervene, but Zhao Xiaolan’s elder brother, a frequent fighter and even associated with some hooligans, pushed both the scholarly Xia Baoguo and Xia Weiguo, who had a lame leg, aside.
Xia Weiguo was knocked straight to the ground; Xia Xiao cried out in shock and immediately went to help Xia Weiguo, but Xia Chunrong was obviously faster. Seeing Li Wenjuan about to rush up and fight Zhao Daguo, Xia Xiao was taken aback and hurriedly restrained her, "Mom, don’t go, look at Dad first, Dad is hurt."
Li Wenjuan then looked at Xia Weiguo. Xia Xiao, watching the dominant Zhao Xiaolan among the Xia Family, truly wanted to throw a brick at him. At the same time, she also resented her older uncle and brother-in-law, who were being bullied, for not fighting back and allowing their relatives to be mistreated.
By now, both of the Xia family’s sons-in-law were holding back Zhao Xiaolan’s elder brother, but Xia Jianguo, on the other hand, stood still, making Xia Xiao feel frustrated.
Moreover, the Zhao family came causing trouble, yet Xia Xiang and Xia Yan had not returned. Thinking about those two cousins raised by the Zhao family made Xia Xiao feel disgusted.
Suddenly, Xia Xiao looked in the direction of her grandfather and saw him trembling all over, his eyes closing as he began to fall backward.
"Grandfather!" Xia Xiao called out, rushing over.
Mrs. Xia was also standing beside Old Man Xia. Hearing Xia Xiao’s voice, she turned to the side in alarm, cried out, and rushed to support Old Man Xia. As everyone saw Old Man Xia and Mrs. Xia in this state, they quickly came forward to help, but Old Man Xia had already fainted.
The neighbors had already cried out, "Ah, a person has died."
Zhao family, if anything happens to my father, our family won’t let this go," Xia Baoguo furiously shouted at the Zhao family.
Right then, Xia Chunrong immediately picked up Old Man Xia and ran outside; Mrs. Xia followed, crying, and Xia Baoguo and Wang Jinying also followed, taking Old Man Xia to the hospital for treatment.
Eldest Aunt Xia, Second Aunt Xia, Aunt Xia, Li Wenjuan, and both sons-in-law of the Xia family immediately rushed up and started fighting desperately with the Zhao family. Never underestimate the power of anger, and at this time, the Zhao family hadn’t expected Old Man Xia to faint either. Given that Old Man Xia had been hospitalized before and was in poor health, the Zhao family also backed down.
However, despite backing down, the Zhao family was not the kind to suffer losses and did not just endure the Xia family’s blows, so the fight escalated.
"Stop it." Xia Jianguo coldly looked at the Zhao family, then said to Zhao Xiaolan, "Let’s divorce."
Zhao Xiaolan was completely stunned, she was directly scared, not having expected this at all.
Hearing Xia Jianguo mention divorce, Zhao Xiaolan immediately jumped and said, "Dream on, I will never divorce you."
"If we don’t divorce, I won’t continue living with you," Xia Jianguo retorted, looking at the Zhao family members he had always respected and honored - his father-in-law, mother-in-law, uncles, and aunts - and Zhao Xiaolan, who had indulged her family in causing a scene. At that moment, he truly despised them.
Saying this, Xia Jianguo walked out, not paying any more mind to everyone.
"Get out, all of you get out of the Xia family," Eldest Aunt Xia and Second Aunt Xia shouted.
Aunt Xia was even chasing people out with a broom; all members of the Xia family were unwelcoming towards the Zhao family, and even the younger generation’s glances at the Zhao family and Zhao Xiaolan carried loathing.
Zhao Daguo said, "You all wait, this isn’t over."
The Zhao family left just like that, and the crowd from the Xia family hurried towards the hospital. Xia Xiao asked Xia Wei, "Where does the Zhao family live?"
"Right near the hospital," Xia Wei replied with a grimace.
