Xiao Hei Yu was extremely angry and wouldn't listen to Xia Shu's words anymore, wanting to go settle accounts with Tian Shi. Xia Zhi hurriedly stopped Xiao Hei Yu.

  "Don't stop me!" Little Black Fish's big eyes were wide with excitement. "Where did your dad get so much money from? He can't save up that many silver coins, and in the end, your mom will still have to scrape them together from you guys!"

  Two hundred taels of silver, and it must be made up within three months. What Xiao Hei Yu said was all true words.

  He was only seven years old, and perhaps he didn't understand so much himself, but after listening to Old Man Xia's nagging, he would come to realize these principles. From this, it can be seen that Tian doing such things is not a one-time or two-time occurrence.

  "Uncle, it's not me stopping you. Even if you go find my mother now, it won't be of any use." Xia Zhi advised Xiao Hei Yu Er.

  The Xia family could stop Tian Shi from becoming the daughter-in-law of Tian Dabao, but they couldn't stop Xia Xiuzai and Tian Shi from sending money to the Tian family.

  The little black fish still wouldn't do it: "Where did they get this silver from? In the end, there's no way out, and you'll have to be calculated." The Tian family couldn't sell their son, and at home, they could only make money by selling Xia Zhi.

  "Old uncle, I definitely won't let her sell me out." Xia Zhi clenched his fist.

  "I won't let you either." Little Black Fish shouted, still wanting to go find Tian Shi to argue.

  Xiatou had no choice but to hug Xiaohu: "Uncle, let's go find my grandparents to discuss this first." This time, Xiaohu struggled for a moment before agreeing.

  Xia Xiaolin was still playing outside the gate when he saw Xiao Heiyu return, and in a soft voice, he called out "Old Uncle" before running into the courtyard. The little guy was young but already very useful, often doing errands and delivering messages.

  Mr. and Mrs. Xia quite like him and are willing to have him run errands for them. The little guy must be going to report back to his grandparents now.

  Old Man Xia was standing in the courtyard, his eyes fixed on the front yard. Xiao Hei ran over and was about to speak when Xia Zhi hastily stopped him, gesturing for everyone to go inside to talk. Old Man Xia had already sensed that something was amiss, and he led several children into the upper house before asking what was going on.

  Xiao Hei Yu then roughly repeated what Xia Shu had heard. When he mentioned that Xia Xiuzai agreed to prepare 120 taels of silver within three months, Old Master Xia's face suddenly turned black.

  "Call your elder brother over!" Old Man Xia ordered loudly.

  "Grandpa, don't get angry." Xia Zhi hurriedly persuaded him, and she was really worried that Old Man Xia would be angered to death.

  "How can I not be angry!" Old Xia's face was filled with pain, "Why did your mother sell your older sister? Why did your older brother stop studying after he started? And what about Xiao Shu, why hasn't she gone to school at the age of 10? Your father is a scholar, but he has been reduced to selling his children. He can't even afford to support your brother and Xiao Shu's education?"

  "Aw, your dad... really let me down!"

  Xia Lao Ye Zi sat on the edge of the kang with a thud. At first, he blamed Tian Shi for all these things, but as more and more things happened, he ended up hating his eldest son for being useless.

  Seeing Old Man Xia calm down a bit, Xia Zhi continued to persuade him slowly.

  "Grandfather, don't get angry, call my father over, it's okay. You can talk to him slowly, and if he doesn't agree at first, you shouldn't rush either. We'll figure something out eventually." Xia Zhi was actually aware of this as she consoled Old Man Xia.

  Since Xia Xiūcái had promised the Tian family, no matter what Old Man Xia said now, it would probably be in vain. However, a dead horse should still be treated as if it were alive and given medical treatment. Letting Old Man Xia say something about Xia Xiūcái might still have some use after all.

  "Grandfather, you don't need to have someone call for him, my father will definitely come over soon." Xia Zhi told Grandfather Xia again. Since Xia Xiuzai didn't go back to the city today, he had some free time now, how could he not come to the backyard to say hello to Grandfather Xia?

  "Uh, okay, Grandpa will listen to you." Xia Lao Ye was persuaded by Xia Zhi and in order to shift his attention, also out of concern for his little granddaughter, he asked about the situation with Xia Zhi's new house. "How is the move going? Your third aunt told me it's quite good."

  "Thanks to Grandpa, Grandma, Third Aunt, and Big Aunt Lanzi, as well as the big sisters and aunts in our village... " Xia Zhi's voice was crisp and pleasant, intentionally painting a vivid picture of how they had cleaned up the west wing, coaxing Old Man Xia into laughter.

  "Grandpa, you're free too, why don't you go take a look?" Xia Zhi said tentatively.

  "Hmm." Old Man Xia murmured in agreement, but it didn't necessarily mean he was consenting.

  Since that year, because of the big moon's matter, he had a big fight with Tian Shi and made a scene, they split up. He vowed to Tian Shi that he would no longer interfere in Xia Zhi's family affairs. Although later on, Xia Qiao's matter, he still spoke out, and even went to the front yard to find Tian Shi, but was rejected by Tian Shi. Tian Shi also said some very harsh words.

  After that, Old Man Xia stopped going to the front yard and truly no longer interfered with Xia Zhi's family affairs.

  The summer solstice is not forced. Some things need to come slowly and at the right time.

  As he was speaking, Xia Xiuzai indeed arrived.

  Seeing Xia Zhi and Xia Shu were there, Xia Xiuren didn't show any surprised expression. He was rarely at home and didn't know that the children were actually quite distant from their grandparents in the backyard, and they seldom came to the backyard.

  Xia Lao Ye Zi, after listening to Xia Zhi's advice, had a very calm attitude towards Xia Xiu Cai, and even asked about the well-being of Tian Lao Tou and his wife when he heard that Xia Xiu Cai was going to Kao Shan Tun Er.

  "It's still like that, it's all good." Xia Xiuzai replied with a smile.

  "That's good." Old Master Xia closed his eyes, and now whenever he thought of Tian Lao and Wang Shi, he felt a belly full of pent-up anger that required 100% self-control to not reveal. "Did you make it clear to them about the sixteenth?"

  "It's all clear." Xia Xiuzai looked relaxed, "They were also in a hurry for the time being. If our family doesn't want to, they can't force us either."

  "Heh heh." Old Master Xia couldn't help but chuckle coldly, then asked again, "And didn't the Lao Tian family make any other requests?"

  The tone of this sentence is somewhat subtle. Xia Xiuzai actually is a very sensitive person, and he heard some meaning in it. He didn't rush to answer, looked around, and saw that Xia Shu had hidden behind Xia Zhi.

  Xia Xiuzai realized that some things couldn't be hidden. In fact, he hadn't thought of hiding them either, or rather, he hadn't thought of completely hiding them.

  For example, when it comes to saving money for Tian Dabao's marriage, he wants to discuss it with Old Man Xia. However, as for the specific amount, he has no intention of telling Old Man Xia.

  "They didn't mention any requirements, what requirements could they have?" Xia Xiuzai smiled and said, "It's my fault for not thinking it through. When we were discussing the marriage between Dabao and his wife, I helped them with a few taels of silver. Daqiao's mother..."

  "Are you going to help them out or not?" Old Man Xia interrupted Xia Xiuzai.
