Chapter 6

“Who said I want to remarry?!” Qin-shi said in a voice loud enough to reach everyone’s ears, “I know my husband is still alive and he will definitely come back! Even if he can’t come back, I will keep my chastity and love for him for my entire life!”

Such a devoted women were highly respected by the older generation in the village. Finally people couldn’t stand it anymore and someone said, “Second master Xia, although YangLiu village is poor, there are still some rules that we follow. Look at your sister-in-law, such a devoted woman, how can you drive her away and even ask her to remarry another man?”

“That’s right. It has not been even seven days since First master Xia’s death and you’re already trying to chase away his family. How are you going to face him when you enter the Netherlands?”

“First master was a person of good character. His wife and children are also very well-behaved. Unfortunately, his life was too short. He isn’t even able to protect his wife and children now… sigh .”

“…”

As all the villagers started speaking up for Xia Qianqian’s family, Xia Dinghai and his wife were too ashamed to look up. He clenched his teeths hoping that housekeeper Gu would leave quickly, after that he could show his wrath to these meddlesome people.

However, housekeeper Gu seemed to have planned something else. Not only did he not leave, he even made a suggestion: “I think we should ask your village chief to come here and solve this matter!”

Xia Dinghai trembled visibly: “No! We can’t do this.”

No one paid him attention, as someone quickly went to look for the village chief. After a while, the village chief came.

The village chief’s name was Fan Ming. He was in his forties and was on good terms with First master Xia. He first paid respect to housekeeper Gu: “This lowly servant pays his respect to housekeeper Gu.”

“No need for formalities, please do your work.” Housekeeper Gu waved his hand indifferently, ready to watch a good show.

Fan Ming already heard the whole story as soon as he came back to the village, after pondering for a while he started: “Xia Dinghai, I have heard all about your family. You are really cruel, you dared to chase master Xia’s wife and daughters away while I was gone from the village!”

“The village chief, it’s not like that, this is just a misunderstanding…” Xia Dinghai said.

“Misunderstanding? If that’s the case then you can take this mother and daughter back to Xia family home, so that they can settle there. You must give them the same treatment when First master Xia was here.” Fan Ming said.

Xia Dinghai immediately flared up: “Fan Ming! Did you borrow your courage from heavens? Actually dared to meddle in my family matters!”

Fan Ming took a quick glance at housekeeper Gu and continued saying: “You said it was a misunderstanding. Now that the misunderstanding is resolved, it is time to take these people back home. You should also respect your sister-in-law.”

“No way!” Xia Dinghai immediately refused, “they can’t go back to Xia family, my mother is in poor health, she can’t be agitated, what if something went wrong, who will take the responsibility?”

Xia Qianqian sneered in her heart: Heh, she didn’t even want to go back to that place! She turned to Fan Ming and said, “village chief, if that family can’t accommodate us, give us the property, and my mother and I will take my younger brothers and sister into our own hands!”

“Very well, Xia Qianqian, it turned out that everything you did today was done for property!” Song-shi couldn’t help but point her finger, almost poking Xia Qianqian’s face.

Xia Qianqian bite her finger immediately.

“Ahh!!” Song-shi started screaming as she felt immense pain and hurriedly tried to withdraw her hand, but her finger was still in Xia Qianqian’s mouth and she couldn’t even move it out!

“Rotten girl, you actually dare to bite me!” Song-shi raised other hand to slap Xia Qianqian.

But Xia Qianqian had good reflexes, she immediately caught the hand that was going to slap her. She looked at Song-shi fiercely, like a wolf cub who is going to pounce on its prey.

Song-shi stared at her dazedly for a moment, before withdrawing her bitten hand as she started crying: “everyone, loot at this rotten girl, this is my good niece that you all talk about. She had almost bitten off my hand!”

“You asked for it!” Housekeeper Gu said indifferently.

Everyone was stunned, including Xia Qianqian. This kind-hearted god here, who sent you on earth?

Xia Dinghai pulled Song-shi back in embarrassment and berated: “Shut up!”

Song-shi remained silenced for a second, then with an flushed face got into the carriage, no longer coming out again.

“Second Uncle, the big house in the Xia family was built by my father, the food and money in the family were also accumulated by my father over the years. Now tell me in front of the village chief and housekeeper Gu, these two honourable people, how do you want to divide them?” With every sentence Xia Qianqian said Xia Dinghai’s face turned uglier.
