  “You still know that you’re an elder?” Xia Xing went all out and shouted angrily at Xia Wangshi. “Do you act like an elder? You came to my mother’s room to steal her things!”


  As soon as Xia Xing finished speaking, she was slapped by Xia Zhenxiang, who was standing closest to her. “How can you speak to your grandmother like that?” As the eldest son of the Xia family and the manager of the fruit garden, Xia Zhenxiang’s words held a lot of weight in the Xia family. When Old Master Xia was not at home, he could exercise his right to be the head of the family.

  After Xia Zhenxiang finished speaking, she glanced at Xia Zhenyuan. “Second Brother, look at the daughter your family raised!”


  Xia Zhenyuan saw that Xia Xing had been slapped and her face was swollen. His heart ached, but he did not dare to say anything. Faced with Xia Zhenxiang’s question, his face flushed red and he lowered his head.

  Xia Xing was also afraid of the dignified Xia Zhenxiang. She held her stinging cheek and gritted her teeth, but did not dare to say anything.

  Xia Cha, who was beside Qiu Zhi, walked forward and pulled Xia Xing behind her. She looked at Xia Zhenxiang. “If Grandma didn’t do something despicable, we wouldn’t have come here to make a scene! She had no respect for others and went to my mother’s room to steal things. Don’t think that our second branch is easily bullied and doesn’t dare to make a sound even when things are missing. If you continue to do this, then let’s just report the case!”


  Everyone looked at Xia Cha in disbelief.

  Was this still the same Xia Cha who would lower her head whenever she saw someone and would not dare to say anything even if she was beaten?

  “Xia Cha, who do you think you are? How dare you speak to my father in such a tone?” Xia Furong stood out and criticized Xia Cha. She wanted to slap Xia Cha like how Xia Zhenxiang hit Xia Xing.

  Xia Cha turned her head and dodged Xia Furong’s slap. Not only that, she even slapped Xia Furong.

  Xia Furong was stunned by that slap.

  The other people in the room were also stunned.

  Ye Guixiang was the first to react. She could not even bear to lift a finger to do anything to her darling, Jiaojiao. Now, the latter had been slapped in front of the entire family by Xia Cha. What would happen if this continued?

  Ye Guixiang stood up and raised her hand, wanting to hit Xia Cha.

  But the next second, she froze when she saw Xia Cha take out a sharp fruit knife from her pocket.

  “Xia Cha, what are you doing?” Xia Zhenxiang shouted angrily.

  “Don’t come near me.” Xia Cha looked at everyone coldly. Seeing that they were not moving, she whispered a few words in Xia Xing’s ear. When Xia Xing ran out, she glared at Xia Wangshi angrily. “Take out my mother’s jade pendant!”


  Xia Wangshi knocked hard on the table with her pipe. “Xia Zhenyuan, are you dead? Your daughter has taken out a knife and wants your mother’s life. Are you still going to let her do as she pleases?”


  Xia Zhenyuan had never seen Xia Cha like this. He was dazed for a while before he reacted and walked in front of Xia Cha. “Cha Cha, why are you holding a knife in front of your elders? Quickly kneel down and apologize to Grandma and Uncle. Give the knife to Daddy.”


  Xia Cha ignored Xia Zhenyuan. She did not agree with her father’s foolish filial piety.

  “I can put down the knife, but Grandma must hand over my mother’s jade pendant.”


  Xia Wangshi sneered. “Your mother came from a poor family. Where did she get the jade pendant?”


  Qiu Zhi walked to Xia Cha’s side. She did not look at Xia Zhenyuan. At this time, not only was Xia Zhenyuan not protecting them, he was even standing on the side of Xia Wangshi. She was a little disappointed.

  “Mom, my family’s background is not good, but that jade pendant was left behind by my grandmother. My mother gave it to me when I got married. It’s something very important to our family.”


  Xia Wangshi chuckled. “Even if it’s yours, it’s still our Xia family’s property after you married into our Xia family. The Xia family’s rules are that once daughters-in-law marry into our family, they have to give me their dowry! You didn’t hand it over and I didn’t even say anything, but you dare to question me with your few children?”


  “If you think our Xia family has too many rules, get out.”


  Ye Guixiang pursed her lips and said in a strange tone, “Sister-in-law usually looks honest, but I didn’t expect her to be so scheming.”


  Fang Liu chimed in as well. “I thought Second Sister-in-law was so filial to Mom. Mom only took what she should have taken, yet she brought her daughter to shout at her. She’s really ill-mannered!”


  Hearing this, Xia Zhenyuan finally understood what had happened. As her husband, he naturally understood the importance of the jade pendant to Qiu Zhi.

  He stood up and said, “Mom, the jade pendant is very important to Ah Zhi and doesn’t belong to the dowry. You should return it to her!”


  Hearing Xia Zhenyuan say this, Xia Wangshi immediately slid down from her chair and cried loudly.

  As she howled, she scolded Xia Zhenyuan for being unfilial and forgetting his mother now that he had a wife.

  Every time Xia Zhenyuan had any objections, Xia Wangshi would do this.

  The honest Xia Zhenyuan would surrender every time he saw her.

  “Dad, Grandma wants to take Mom’s things. If you compromise, I won’t call you Dad anymore.” Xia Cha looked at Xia Zhenyuan coldly.

  Xia Lan also said, “Grandma always uses this method. I’m tired of it. Dad, I have the same opinion as Cha Cha.”


  Seeing that her method wasn’t working this time, Xia Wangshi suddenly twitched. “My heart hurts. My heart problems are acting up…”


  Xia Wangshi rolled her eyes back and lay motionless on the ground.

  Seeing this, Xia Zhenyuan was frightened. He wanted to go forward, but Xia Cha stopped him. “Dad!”


  Xia Zhenyuan shook off Xia Cha’s hand and glanced at Qiu Zhi with a dark expression. “Mom is already like this, and you’re still indulging in our children? Ah Zhi, I’m so disappointed in you.”


  Hearing Xia Zhenyuan’s words, Qiu Zhi trembled and her eyes turned red.

  “What are you all arguing about?”


  Old Master Xia, who was outside, had returned.

  Along with Old Master Xia were two elders of the Xia family.

  Xia Xing had followed Xia Cha’s instructions and gone to the two elders of the Xia family to find Old Master Xia. She said that there had been a thief in the family and Xia Wangshi was sick. It was very serious. When the two elders heard that the situation was so serious, they came with Old Master Xia.

  After informing Old Master Xia, Xia Xing invited an old Chinese doctor over.

  Xia Cha had expected it. When the old Chinese doctor arrived, Xia Wangshi had a heart attack and fainted.

  Seeing that Xia Xing had invited the old Chinese doctor over, Xia Cha hurriedly said, “Grandpa, Uncles, my second sister invited the doctor over and asked him to check on Grandma!”


  Xia Cha and Xia Xing helped the old Chinese doctor to Xia Wangshi.

  Xia Wangshi had not really passed out. When she heard that the doctor was coming, she was about to act like she had recovered. However, Xia Cha’s eyes and hands were quick. She pressed her arm and touched her chest. She could feel a jade pendant.

  Xia Cha pulled out the jade pendant and pressed it against Xia Wangshi’s arm. “Doctor, take my grandmother’s pulse quickly!”


  Xia Wangshi wanted to break free from Xia Cha’s grip on her arm, but for some reason, Xia Cha was suddenly full of strength. Now that Xia Cha was pressing down on her, she could not break free from her grip.
