103 Song Yan and Chen Lian’s Quarrel

Chen Lian was also unconvinced. She snorted and said, “It’s up to us how we educate our son. At least I can give birth to a son. Among the three of us, only you can’t give birth to a son. It’s been so many years, and no one has criticized you. Do you really think you’re that great?”

“Yes, you’re my sister-in-law and your family is doing well. But now that you’re married into the Xia family, you’re a part of them. You’ll only be able to do well if the Xia family does well. If you can’t give birth to a son for the Xia family, then you’re incompetent!

“Your Xia Ru can earn money now, but my Xia Yu just hasn’t found a suitable job. Once he finds one, he’ll definitely earn more than your Xia Ru. After all, a girl can’t compare to a boy.”

When Xia Ye heard Chen Lian’s words, she felt a little aggrieved. As expected, even if she usually had good grades, she could not compare to her brother in her mother’s heart.

Song Yan and Chen Lian continued to argue, but Xia Ye was not in the mood to listen anymore. Even if Song Yan’s words were unpleasant, at least she was really protecting Xia Ru.

Even though Xia Ru didn’t get into high school, Song Yan only had one daughter and she gave her all her love.

But she was different. She had an older brother. Even if her older brother ate a lot and didn’t work, and often spent money, the family still pampered him.

In the past, Xia Ye would always follow Xia Ru around. Now that she thought about it, it was because Xia Ru was highly regarded at home. Her grandmother would always praise her, and her mother would sometimes ask about when she could start earning for the family like Xia Ru.

Xia Ye saw Xia Wan, who was watching the show in the corner. She walked up to her angrily and asked, “Did you say something to my mother? Why would she hit me as soon as I got home?”

Xia Wan acted innocent. “What could I have said? Your clothes are too eye-catching. Even I can tell that you just bought them.”

As she spoke, Xia Wan deliberately raised her voice and looked at Chen Lian. “Second Aunt, did you realize that Xia Ye only came home in new chothes? Where did her old clothes go?”

Xia Wan’s words successfully attracted Chen Lian’s attention. She did not care about quarreling with Song Yan anymore and just stared at Xia Ye coldly. “Yes, Xia Wan is right. Where are your old clothes?”

Xia Ye was flustered, and her eyes darted around. She grabbed her clothes nervously. “I, I…”

Seeing her stammer and unable to speak, Chen Lian became even angrier. She roared, “Tell me, where are your old clothes?! Are you really going to force my hand on you?”

Xia Ye closed her eyes. “I gave them away.”

“What?!” Chen Lian’s eyes widened. She immediately picked up a stick and was about to hit Xia Ye.

Xia Ye was very smart and immediately ran in the yard. As she ran, she shouted, “Mom, I’ve been wearing those clothes for a few years. Why does Xia Yu have a few new sets every year, but I only have one? Mom, you’re being unfair!”

As she spoke, Xia Ye pointed at Xia Wan and the others and said, “Xia Wan’s family has two sons, but Yan Han never forgets about Xia Wan whenever he goes shopping. Why should I be forgotten every time? Mom, you’re so unfair!”

Chen Lian was very angry with Xia Ye’s words. She ran even faster, and Xia Ye’s butt was hit by a few sticks.

“Even if you hit me again, you’re still biased. Why can’t I say you that you’re being biased?” Xia Ye was so aggrieved that she started crying.

Initially, because of the smell of feces, all the doors and windows were closed. After knowing that Xia Ru was sick and that there was feces, the neighbors did not make a fuss. Instead, she was the one who got mouthfuls from them.

But now that they heard that this family seemed to be chasing and fighting, those who liked to watch the fun couldn’t help but open their windows for a peek.

“Aww… isn’t that Xia Ye? Why is she getting beaten? I heard she was quite obedient”?

“How is she obedient? Look at the Xia family’s children. That Xia Wan has a bad reputation. Now that Xia Ru is in trouble, who knows what happened to Xia Ye? It’s better to stay away from the women of the Xia family in the future.”

Xia Ye and Xia Ru did not expect that after today, their reputations would deteriorate so much.
