Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Sister-in-law Misses You
Mother Xia didn’t react, and Uncle Xia was both angry and helpless.
“Forget it, sister, I’m done worrying about you. You’ll regret it one day.” With a flip of his hand, he took Xia Chuyi away from the Xia Family.
On the road, Xia Chuyi turned to persuade Uncle Xia, “Forget it, uncle, don’t be angry! You know what my mother is like, right?”
Unlike Uncle Xia, she was very calm, constantly trying to console him.
In the end, Uncle Xia couldn’t help but laugh, “Hey, forget it. You’re just a child, yet you seem to see things more clearly than I do.”
Sighing, Uncle Xia said, “Alas, your mother… don’t hold it against her… after all, she has suffered quite a bit.”
...
Uncle Xia was decisive and straightforward, but he simply couldn’t deal with Mother Xia, his own sister.
“Don’t worry, uncle, I understand,” nodded Xia Chuyi with a small smile.
No matter how Mother Xia treated her, she gave birth to her after carrying her for ten months. She would fulfill her filial duties.
The atmosphere always beca a bit awkward whenever Mother Xia was ntioned.
“Forget about your mother! As for Xia i’s job, I’ll find a way to help her, and I’ll also get the ten yuan you promised to give to the Xia Family.”
Uncle Xia patted her head, shifting the topic.
“As for you, whether you want to teach in the village, work in the city, or start your own business, your uncle will help you with whatever you decide,” Uncle Xia took all the responsibilities upon himself.
“Uncle…” Xia Chuyi softly called out, her heart full of gratitude.
She was aware of the extent of Uncle Xia’s influence.
But finding a job, the money spent and the favors owed were not small matters.
“Uncle, listen to . I know you an well, but I have my own ways to deal with Xia i’s situation,” Xia Chuyi said seriously and firmly to Uncle Xia.
“The ten yuan for living expenses is a filial duty I must fulfill, and naturally, I should be the one to provide it.”
She spoke calmly and confidently.
“As for the job,” Xia Chuyi smiled, “uncle, I believe Auntie has already told you that I’m thinking of going into business.”
Uncle Xia looked at her for a long ti, saw her determined gaze, sighed, and said, “You’ve grown up, with well-laid plans.”
Pride shone in his eyes.
“If your father knew, he would definitely be happy for you,” Uncle Xia looked up into the distance.
“Okay, no matter what decision you make, your uncle will support you unconditionally!” Uncle Xia slapped his chest, generously promising, “If anything goes wrong, your uncle will have your back.”
“Then later on, your uncle will personally find you a good match!”
“This ti, we’re definitely not looking for a soldier, what’s so good about soldiers? They’re away from ho for months on end!” Uncle Xia’s tone was deliberately indignant.
He was worried she’d be saddened by He Qing’s matter.
“Uncle…” Xia Chuyi shook her head, a bit amused and exasperated.
Suddenly, Huo Shiqian popped into her mind.
Huo Shiqian was also a soldier, wasn’t he?
What would Uncle Xia, who had just emphatically declared his aversion to soldiers, think if he knew Huo Shiqian was pursuing her?
Wait, why was she thinking of him again?
Xia Chuyi shook her head, dispelling the thoughts of Huo Shiqian from her mind.
Sowhere in the Southwest, Huo Shiqian sneezed for no apparent reason.
“Commander, little sister-in-law must be thinking about you!” Driver Xiao Wang said earnestly.
Huo Shiqian glanced at him, then looked into the distance.
“Xiao Wang, isn’t there a mission coming up that requires travel? Go tell them, I’m going,” he said in a deep, indifferent voice.
“Yes, understood!” Xiao Wang’s voice contained excitent.
