Chapter 160: Going to Grandmas House

  Update, asking for monthly ticket

  ****

  People in Xia's family usually call Xia Zhi by her nickname, Sixteen. Only Tian Shi would occasionally address her by both name and surname, calling her Xia Zhi. Now, Tian Shi suddenly wants to borrow money from her and has started calling her Sixteen like everyone else.

  Xia Zhi didn't say a word, but instead looked at Xia Xiuzai. The ten taels of silver she lent to Xia Xiuzai were not borrowed in vain. Xia Xiuzai received Xia Zhi's gaze and immediately understood.

  Xia Xiuzai didn't think that Xia Zhi still had money in her hands. Helping people pack and sell zongzi could only earn so much, even if Li Xia took special care of her, it would be difficult for Xia Zhi to earn more than ten taels of silver. Even if she had some money outside of those ten taels, it was likely that she spent it all on herself, besides, Xia Zhi often bought things for the family.

  In Xia Xiucai's opinion, Xia Zhi was being a bit too extravagant, but he could understand Xia Zhi's thoughts. If the money wasn't spent and taken back, it would all have to be given to the Tian family anyway. This little daughter of his now had her own ideas and would think for herself, so she just spent all the money.

  Because he believed that Xia Zhi had no more money, and also because he himself had already taken money from Xia Zhi's hands, it was embarrassing for him to watch Tian Shi plunder Xia Zhi. So Xia Xiucai spoke up on behalf of Xia Zhi.

  "His mother, don't ask sixteen for money anymore. Sixteen doesn't have any money."

  Xia Xiuzai was speaking in a gentle and pleasant tone, but to the ears of Tian Shi, it was like stirring up a hornet's nest.

  Tian immediately stood up with both eyes: "She has no money, then what are those things on her ears, hanging from her neck, and on her wrists? And the clothes she's wearing, aren't they all money? Don't think I don't know, Xia Zhi this time back, didn't put a lot of supplies in the backyard!"

  After all, it's still about those valuable things on Xia Zhi's body.

  Xia Xiuzai was momentarily speechless after being scolded by Tian Shi. Xia Zhi, on the other hand, remained calm and didn't say a word. Tian Shi thought that she had successfully intimidated them, so she softened her tone for once and stopped quarreling.

  "At sixteen, you're not unaware of your maternal family's situation. If you go dressed in gold and silver like that, everyone will see it, and it can't be said to be good for you. Listen to your mother's words, take off those things, and when the time comes, give them to your aunt, they can also make a few taels of silver. You're a kind-hearted child, your aunt's whole family should be grateful to you."

  Xiatian didn't care about Tianjia's gratitude. She pretended to be hesitant, as if she was struggling in her heart for a long time, before slowly saying to Tian: "Mother, I don't dare give these things to you. Have you forgotten what my uncle said?"

  "Girl, aren't you afraid that Old Uncle will find out and go to Kao Shan Tuen? Take these things away!"

  Xia Zhi said so and stretched out her wrist with a delicate silver cuff, meaning for Tian Shi to take it herself.

  Tian's expression wavered, how could she forget what Xiao Hei Yu said? If it weren't for Xiao Hei Yu speaking up first, she wouldn't have let these things stay overnight on Xia Zhi's body.

  "On the summer solstice, these things, how did you all come?" Tian Shi didn't go to pick the summer solstice's wristlet, but instead looked at Xia Zhi and asked."

  "It's bought, of course." Xia Zhi said it clearly on the surface, but was actually vague.

  "Did your aunt buy it for you?" Tian Shi asked, not expecting Xia Zhi to have so much money.

  Xia Zhi didn't nod or shake her head, she said nothing.

  But in Tian's view, this was equivalent to admitting it. Tian thought for a moment and felt that he understood. "Did your elder sister explain it clearly to you?"

  "What did my aunt say to you?" Xia Zhi asked.

  "You're still trying to fool me!" Tian's eyes widened again.

  "My aunt just told me to come home and take care of myself, she will come back to see me when she has time." Xia Zhi roughly guessed what Tian Shi was thinking, so he deliberately said a sentence. If letting Tian Shi misunderstand could keep her temporarily safe, then let Tian Shi go ahead and misunderstand.

  Anyway, given Tian's relationship with the backyard, she wouldn't ask. As long as Tian doesn't ask, who would rush to bring up this topic. That's what they mean by living one day at a time, maybe tomorrow things will take another turn.

  To put it more simply, every day I can fool Tian is a gain.

  As expected, Tian heard Xia Zhi's words and became even more convinced of her own conjecture. She glanced at Xia Xiucui and saw that she was in a state of distraction. Tian hummed softly to herself, guessing that Xia Dagu had not yet spoken to Xia Xiucai.

  In Tian's view, Xia Dagu was a very astute woman. Xia Dagu had taken a liking to Xia Zhi, but didn't want to arrange the marriage early, wasn't it because she was afraid of spending more money on frequent visits and socializing?

  She wanted to get her daughter, but was too petty and unwilling to spend money. What a beautiful thing that is. Tian Shi secretly made up her mind that when Xia Dagu came to propose, she would definitely ask for more betrothal gifts from Xia Dagu.

  Xia Dagu is really capable!

  As for the things Xia Dagu bought for Xia Zhi, Fangcainai still thought they were valuable at first, but now she thinks they're just so-so. But looking at Xia Zhi's expression, it seems that he has been won over by Xia Dagu's gifts.

  Tian thought she had reached her peak in Xia Zhi.

  "It's not me saying you, don't learn from those with shallow eyelids. When others are treating you like a treasure, you still don't know who you are. Wear these things for now, and we'll talk about the rest later."

  If it was Xia Dagu who had taken a liking to Xia Zhi and intended for Xia Zhi to be her daughter-in-law, then the meaning would be different. If she were to take it away now, I'm afraid Xia Dagu's side wouldn't accept it, and that would affect the marriage, which would be a bad thing.

  Because it was Xia Dagu who bought it for Xia Zhi, Xiao Hei Yu Er would be so nervous, and also said that the things Xia Zhi wore on his body were all counted by him, which can also be explained.

  Tian's family understood and waved his hand, letting Xia Zhi also prepare to go.

  Xia Zhi didn't care, but Xia Xiuren let out a sigh of relief on the other side. Although he couldn't understand why Tian Shi suddenly became so lenient towards Xia Zhi.

  Xia Zhi left Tian's side and took advantage of the opportunity to go to the backyard. She told Lao Ye and Lao Tai about going to Kao Shan Tun, but didn't mention that Tian wanted her to wear the jewelry on her body.

  She can handle this matter herself, no need to let Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia worry about it anymore.

  "Sixteen, now that you're there, be careful with everything." Old Man Xia reminded Xia Zhi, "If it's not okay, just mention my name. Whatever happens, I'll take responsibility for you at the time."

  Xia Lao Ye Zi couldn't charge into battle in Xia Chong Tun, but he was well-prepared to be a solid backing for Xia Zhi. Xia Zhi knew that Xia Lao Ye Zi wasn't one to speak empty words. This sentence was the magic sword he had given him.

  This Shangfang Baojian naturally can't be used by others, but in the Xia family, it means that all human and material resources can be mobilized at her disposal.

  Xia Zhi smiled and nodded, saying she remembered Old Man Xia's words.

  Old Lady Xia was cutting the fabric that Xia Zhi had bought yesterday, when she heard them talking about it, she took out a string of money from her needlework basket and handed it to Xia Zhi.

  "Mum, why are you giving me money?" Xia Zhi asked in confusion.

  "Your grandfather and I discussed it last night. We'll give you some money to take with you, just in case something happens." Old Lady Xia said with a smile.

  Old Xia nodded beside him and let Xia Zhi take the money. "Even if it's nothing, you just look at what you think is good to buy."

  "Grandpa, grandma, I don't need money. Besides, I have my own money." Xia Zhi then smiled.

  "How much money do you have, I think you've spent almost all of it. This is what your father and I have saved for you, 16 yuan, take it quickly, why are you being polite with us?" Old Lady Xia stuffed the money into Xia Zhi's hand.

  It seems that if they don't take the money today, Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia will definitely be unhappy. Xia Zhi understands in her heart that she has a heavy responsibility this time, and since Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia feel they can't help her, they want to give her some money as compensation.

  This is also the intention of the two elderly people.

  Xia Zhi thought for a moment and then took over the money. However, she only grabbed a handful and put it into her own purse, returning the rest to Old Lady Xia.

  "Put this money with you two elders for now, and later use it to buy snacks for me and my uncle."

  Xia Zhi said so, and Xia Lao Ye Zi and Xia Lao Tai Tai could only follow her.

  The little black fish was sulking beside him, unable to accompany Xia Zhi to Kao Shan Tun. "Otherwise, on the 16th, you can bring Da Qing along. Da Qing listens to you. If someone wants to give you a hard time, just let Da Qing bite her. Whatever happens, Da Qing can be your companion."

  Da Qing stood next to Xiao Hei Yu's leg and heard his name. He still raised his head and barked twice.

  Xia Zhi patted Da Qing's furry head. "No need to bring Da Qing, let Da Qing stay with my old uncle. And what about Xiao Shu?"

  "I'm afraid the little tree won't be of any use." Little Black Fish crossed his arms in front of his chest, still looking down on the little tree. "The little tree is just a wall grass, when we go to your grandma's house, I'm afraid he'll follow us there."

  Xia Zhi couldn't help but laugh. Don't look at Xiao Hei Yu's young age, his understanding of people is quite profound. Little Tree indeed has the shortcoming of being too aware of the times and easily becoming a turncoat.

  However, Xia Zhi still had confidence in Xiao Shu. "Don't worry, Uncle, Xiao Shu is different from before." Xiao Shu had repeatedly expressed his loyalty to her, and she was very sure that even if they reached Kao Shan Tun, Xiao Shu would stand on her side.

  Who has good days with whom, Xiaoshu's heart is very clear.

  "I'll go tell him then." Little Black Fish saw Xia Zhi say this and immediately turned around to run out and find Little Black Fish. As for how Little Black Fish instructed, Xia Zhi wasn't clear, but when she came out and saw Xiao Shu, Xiao Shu was unusually obedient with his head hung low and ears drooping.

  This must have been taught a lesson by the little black fish. Xia Zhi guessed that when the little black fish instructed the little tree, it also used its fists as a very persuasive tool.

  "Sister." Xiaoshu saw Xiatian and hurried over, "Sister, I'll definitely listen to you. When we get to Grandma's house, if anyone is mean to you, I'll bite them. Sister, whoever you want me to bite, I'll bite. I won't let anyone bully you or make you angry."

  As she spoke, Xiaoshu still glanced at Xiao Heiyu.
