67 Xia Ye’s Conjecture

Her mouth was slightly agape, and there was shock and joy in her eyes. “I’m going back to my own home. So you’re looking for my home? Who are you looking for? I don’t remember having such relatives like you.”

After saying that, Xia Ye quickly realized it was inappropriate to say that, so she quickly added, “I know. You must be the people my grandfather saved before. He said he saved many people when he was a soldier. Did your family’s seniors also serve in the army?”

The more Xia Ye thought about it, the more she felt that her guess made sense. Chen Mo’s expression also became more serious.

Xu Ye immediately retracted his hand from knocking on the door and said to Xia Ye, “You’re overthinking. We just didn’t find the place and wanted to knock on the door to ask for directions. Now that we’ve seen you, we don’t want to ask anymore. Let’s go. We’ll come back another day. What a disgusting face. Ugly.”

Xu Ye and Chen Mo left without looking back, leaving Xia Ye standing there awkwardly.

What did that man just say about her? She was ugly?

Why?

Even if she was indeed the ugliest of the three sisters, it had nothing to do with being ugly. She had paid attention to taking care of her skin since she was young and would protect her face when the weather was hot.

Besides, there were not many people in the village who could attend high school. She was one of them, and she did even better than Xia Ru. When she started to study and go on to earn, she would be the cultured person in the village, better than most people. Why did these two men not like her?

The more Xia Ye thought about it, the more indignant she felt.

Just then, the door opened, and Xia Feng walked out.

He heard some movement at the door and thought Xia Wan and the others must’ve returned. He could not help but open the door to take a look. He did not expect to see Xia Ye.

The anticipation in Xia Feng’s eyes immediately disappeared. Xia Ye even said in disgust, “What are you looking at? Have you finished all the chores at home?”

Xia Feng didn’t want to spoil her and said, “We’ve already finished with that. I just don’t know if you’ve finished yours. Don’t expect our family to help you with everything. We don’t have that much free time. You’re in high school, and so is my sister. You’re no better than her.”

Perhaps it was because he had seen Xia Wan’s ability to make money that this gave Xia Feng some confidence.

In the past, Xia Hai and Yan Han had always been gentle and polite to the other two families, even a little humble. Ultimately, it was all because of Xia Hai’s blind filial piety to Li Jin and his innate obedience to his two brothers.

However, in the past two days, his sister had told him a lot. She said that when they separated in the future, they would be independent and have their own house. They would no longer need to live with these people who always took advantage of them.

Meanwhile, Xia Wan brought Xia Chen to a wholesale market.

In this era, there were all kinds of people setting up stalls. Before arriving at the wholesale market, one could already hear all kinds of shouts. There were an abundance of snacks and all manner of miscellaneous trinkets on display.

Xia Wan saw someone selling candy, so she asked for the price and bought some.

Xia Chen smiled when he saw it. “You still like candy.”

“These are for Xia Feng, “Xia Wan said. “He couldn’t come with us, so we must bring him something when we go home. We have to let him know that he’s still in our hearts.”

“I’m fine. Xia Chen smiled. Even if I don’t buy it, Xia Feng won’t say anything.”

Xia Wan didn’t say anything else. She thought she could only buy candy for Xia Feng because she had limited money. Once she earned enough money, she would buy Xia Feng even better things.

Then, the two of them walked further in. Almost all the stalls here were selling clothes. The uncountable variations of clothes sold would make even the most avid shopper spoilt for choice.

The merchants used some shelves to hang the clothes so that everyone could see them directly. The boxes at the bottom were filled with piles of clothes.

Xia Wan looked at them one by one. The clothes here were inexpensive, and the quality wasn’t the best. Hence, she hoped that the clothes she sold were not only beautiful but also of good quality, believing this would surely attract customers.
