Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 115 - 114 Attitude (320+ Monthly Votes)

Once they arrived at the hospital, Xia Wei pointed to a room and said to Xia Xiao, "It’s right there."

Xia Xiao took a serious look and memorized it.

In the hospital, Li Wenjuan said upon seeing a group of children, "Why did all of you come here?"

"Auntie, we’re worried about Grandpa," Xia Wei said.

"Your grandpa is fine now, go back," Li Wenjuan finished and turned to Xia Xiao, "Xiaoxiao, take your brothers and sisters back home, tidy up, and prepare dinner so that when everyone returns, there will be food ready to eat."

Hearing that Grandpa and Granddad were all right, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Understood, Mom," Xia Xiao replied and said to Xia Wei and the younger siblings, "Let’s go, we’re going home for dinner."

Everybody nodded. At this moment, they all felt really hungry, so they obediently followed Xia Xiao back home.

On the way, Xia Jing was boasting to everyone, "My sister’s cooking is so delicious. Grandpa, Grandma, and even Granddad and Grandma from this year have all praised my sister."

Even Xia Hong and Xia Lin were nodding in agreement, describing the dishes vividly. Xia Hong, especially, spoke with such flair that even Xia Xiao began to think she had created some heavenly feast, which left her speechless.

Xia Hua also nodded along, making Xia Xiao wonder if that "Divine Water" had something in it that made people delusional.

But, actually, Xia Xiao felt that she just cooked ordinary home meals. However, she was very happy that everyone enjoyed them.

Over at the Zhao family’s side, Xia Xiang and Xia Yan were both there. Seeing their maternal grandparents and Uncle Zhao, and the injuries on their mother’s face and body—minor or major—both Xia Xiang and Xia Yan were incensed.

Zhao Xiaolan complained, "Mom, I don’t want to divorce Jianguo."

Even though she thought Xia Jianguo was useless, Zhao Xiaolan still had feelings for him. Having been married to Xia Jianguo for so many years, he had always treated her well and indulged her. Zhao Xiaolan had never actually considered divorcing Xia Jianguo.

Moreover, she was no longer as young and beautiful, and at her age, if she left Xia Jianguo, who would want her? Even if she could remarry, it wasn’t certain that anyone would treat her as well as Xia Jianguo did. Therefore, at this time, Zhao Xiaolan regretted and resented her family for causing a rift with the Xia Family and for agitating Old Man Xia to the point of fainting and being hospitalized.

"Mom, dad treats you like this, and you still won’t divorce him," Zhao Xiang said.

Xia Yan chimed in, "That’s right, dad was too excessive, he even hit mom. It’s a new era now, women can hold up half the sky. A man who hits women is unacceptable, mom, you should quickly divorce dad."

Zhao Xiaolan stared blankly at her son and daughter and said, "How can you not want your dad? Your dad is very good to you."

"But dad isn’t good to mom."

Uncle Zhao and his wife exchanged glances and said, "Little sister, look at yourself, after marrying into the Xia family for twenty years, you’ve changed so much, you don’t even look like yourself anymore."

"Yeah, Xiaolan, your in-laws obviously look down on you, your sisters-in-law do not like you, the elder aunt and Aunt Xia even dare to hit you, they simply have no respect for you at all. Xia Jianguo always sides with the Xia family. How can you go back and live with Xia Jianguo under these circumstances? Moreover, Xia Jianguo is eager to divorce you, he’s already moved to the dormitory. Can you even move back into the Xia family home now?"

Zhao Xiaolan wore a face full of sorrow, "No, I must find Jianguo and get an explanation."

"What’s the use of finding him now? Old Man Xia is lying in the hospital right now. If you go now, you’ll just get beaten by Xia Jianguo again, and the Xia family won’t let you near," said Zhao Xiaolan’s elder sister-in-law, who then turned to Mrs. Zhao, "Mom, please talk some sense into Xiaolan. Now that things have come to this and faces have been torn, how can she go back to the Xia family?"

Mrs. Zhao thought about the beating she had endured at the Xia Family’s home, which had also filled her with rage, and she immediately said, "What celebration is there to speak of? Get a divorce quickly. We must not have in-laws like these."

"Mom," Zhao Xiaolan said with grievance, "but what about me and Jianguo? I really don’t want a divorce."

Mrs. Zhao paused for a moment, "If he is willing to marry into the Zhao family, then you two don’t have to get divorced."

When these words were spoken, Mr. Zhao nodded and also expressed his stance, "If Xia Jianguo is willing to marry into the family, and Xiangzi and Yanzi both take the Zhao surname, then there is no need for you to divorce."

"I doubt Xia Jianguo would agree. He’s already talking about divorcing Xiao Lan, and he said so himself. How could he possibly marry into our family?" Zhao Xiaolan’s elder brother said.

Zhao Xiaolan’s sister-in-law added, "If Xia Jianguo wants a divorce, that’s fine, but Xiangzi and Yanzi should come to the Zhao family, to Xiao Lan. They absolutely must not be given to the Xia family."

At this point, Zhao Xiaolan’s sister-in-law turned to Xia Xiang and Xia Yan, "Xiangzi, Yanzi, your dad and mom are getting divorced. Who do you want to follow?" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

"Of course, we’ll follow our mom," Xia Xiang and Xia Yan answered in unison.

Their grandfather’s family had many cousins, and although they were from the senior branch, they weren’t the only ones. Unlike their maternal grandmother’s house, where they were the only two grandchildren, Xia Xiang and Xia Yan naturally preferred being at their grandmother’s home and, at the same time, conveniently overlooked the existence of their younger sister Xia Fei and their elder sister.

The swift response from Xia Xiang and Xia Yan lightened the mood of the Zhao family members. Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao smiled, while Uncle Zhao and Zhao Xiaolan’s sister-in-law were very satisfied. Their upbringing had not been in vain.

Now, the Zhao family’s attitude was that a divorce was acceptable, but Xia Xiang and Xia Yan must belong to the Zhao family, and Xia Fei would go with Xia Jianguo. Of course, if Xia Jianguo was unwilling, they could avoid divorce, so Zhao Xiaolan did not continue making a fuss.

When Xia Xiao returned to the Xia Family courtyard, she saw that there were already quite a few dishes in the kitchen, all washed and cut, with one dish already cooked and some still unprepared.

After finishing the cooking, Xia Xiao had her younger siblings eat, yet still had not seen the relatives return.

And by this time, it was already three in the afternoon, no one had come back, and Xia Xiao was somewhat worried. She even suspected that perhaps her mom had downplayed the situation, and they had believed her.

Xia Xiao was considering whether to send food to the hospital for the relatives when she heard Xia Hong call out, "Big sister, Grandma and Mom and Dad, Second Uncle’s wife, and Aunt have returned."

"Oh, then quickly take some hot water out for everyone to make tea," Xia Xiao replied, then added, "Call Xiao Wei and Xiao Jing over to help serve the dishes."

Soon, Xia Wei and Xia Jing came in to help Xia Xiao carry food out. Once Xia Xiao left the kitchen, Li Wenjuan said, "Xiaoxiao, have you eaten?"

Xia Xiao nodded, "I just ate." She, too, had hurriedly eaten a few bites.

"Make some porridge for your grandpa, and in a while, Mom will deliver it to your grandpa and your dad," Li Wenjuan said.

Eldest Aunt Xia interjected, "Let me do it instead."

"Eldest sister, please sit down and eat. Xiaoxiao can handle it," Li Wenjuan quickly interjected.

Xia Xiao added, "Eldest Aunt, I can make it; you all eat well and take a break."

This day was shocking enough for the Xia family. Aunt Xia had already started crying with red eyes, "Mom and Dad prepared dishes early in the morning, only to run into such an incident. Zhao Xiaolan really deserves to die."

Now, Aunt Xia didn’t even bother to call her sister-in-law, as her heart was filled with hatred for Zhao Xiaolan. She felt fortunate that her father was unharmed; otherwise, she might have had the heart to kill Zhao Xiaolan.
