The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers

Chapter 170 Negotiation completed

Xia Ruwan got out of the carriage and stood calmly in front of Liu.

"What do you want to say?"

"Ruwan, I am your aunt..."

"Yes, I recognize you."

"Ruwan, Chengzong is not Tang Jizu's child, he is your father's child! He is your biological brother."

"so what?"

Xia Ruwan was very calm from beginning to end, as if she was listening to someone else's story.

Liu looked at Xia Ruwan's expression, as if she were seeing her cousin who frightened her. At this moment, she finally understood that the mother and daughter had known about their situation for a long time and were only using this method to punish them and torture them so that they would no longer have the possibility of competing for the family inheritance.

"Ruwan, I don't want anything. I just ask you to take Chengzong back with you, okay? Tell your mother that this child is her own. I beg you, give your brother a chance to live!"

Xia Ruwan looked at the little boy hiding behind a tree not far away, staring at her with a pair of wolf-like eyes. She said coldly, "I'm not a Bodhisattva, so I can't grant your wish. In fact, sparing your lives is the last bit of mercy my mother has left for you because your mother treated her well."

Xia Ruwan leaned closer to Liu and said in a low voice, "You are only alive because of that fragile blood bond. If I were you, I would take your son and behave myself, and don't cause any more trouble. Otherwise, my patience will run out before my mother's."

"Ruwan..." Liu looked at the cold and emotionless Xia Ruwan in front of her in horror. "I took care of you. You loved me the most. Have you forgotten?"

"I couldn't write well, so my mother spanked me. You took me out to play secretly, saying that girls didn't need to write so many words, and that women's virtue lies in their lack of talent. I didn't want to use an abacus, so my mother punished me by making me kneel. You asked my father to pester my mother, and then took me out to see a play. I was young and ignorant at that time, and I hated my mother's ruthlessness and liked your gentleness. I have been running around outside these years and have seen many examples of flattery killing. Aunt, you had already hooked up with my father back then, and then decided to raise me into a waste and let your children inherit the family property, right? I didn't understand when my mother forced me to travel, but now I understand and I won't be deceived."

Liu's face turned pale.

"Aunt, cherish the last bit of reluctance my mother left you. Although I'm young, I'm no longer the fool you once manipulated. Instead of looking for me, why not go to my father and ask him if he's willing to leave the Xia family and start his own family with you and me? However, I heard that you and that farmhand have already consummated your marriage. It's strange to say, my father has been very fond of this Tang Jizu lately!"

Liu's body softened and she sat on the ground.

She looked at the girl in front of her in fear. The trembling feeling was just like the night on her wedding night when she was pinned down by the drugged and mad Tang Jizu.

"You and your mother are both evil spirits. You are both so scary."

"I like this description. Compared to being plotted against and dying without knowing how, I prefer to be an evil ghost who takes other people's lives." Xia Ruwan got on the carriage.

Shu Hui snorted coldly, then got on the carriage and said to the driver, "Uncle Ma, let's go. If she stops me again, I'll whip her."

After Qin Huiyin sent Xia Ruwan away, she thought of the key Song Ruize gave her and went out with the key.

As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw a woman walking unsteadily like a wandering ghost. A little boy followed behind the woman, and when he saw Qin Huiyin, his eyes were full of viciousness.

Qin Huiyin: "..."

Who did she provoke?

She remembered that this little boy was Xia Ruwan's half-brother, the illegitimate child of Liu and Master Xia. Needless to say, this disheveled wandering ghost was Liu.

Qin Huiyin didn't take it seriously. She waited until they were far away before walking towards Song Ruize's residence.

When she stepped into Song Ruize's courtyard again, she saw that the entire yard was filled with beautiful flowers and fruit trees. The house had also been simply renovated, and the dead leaves that originally covered it had been cleared away.

She pushed the door open and went in, seeing that the room had been cleaned.

When they first lived in the Song family, Song Ruize had one room, she had another, and Song Liehu and Li Taohua had one room. Compared to the Tang family, the Song family was really spacious.

Qin Huiyin took a quick look, locked the door and left.

A few days later, Qin Huiyin went to the city. Li Taohua took Tang Luwu and her brother to set up a stall to do business. Qin Huiyin went to the restaurant to find Xia Ruwan and signed a cooperation agreement with her.

In order to make this contract more binding, it was stamped by the county government and filed with the government.

Now that they had decided to collaborate, the next step was to divide the work. Qin Huiyin handed the design she had already drawn to Xia Ruwan for her decision. She had drawn five versions of the design, and Xia Ruwan could choose from them. If Xia Ruwan had a better solution, she could also negotiate with the other party.

Xia Ruwan was also straightforward and immediately picked out a version. Then, the two of them went to choose a store.

"We have quite a few stores in the Xia family, but the ones with good locations are doing well. If they were to close and replace them with something else, I'd have no problem with that, but that would be a problem for my mother. Here are a few stores I can use. I'll take you to see them one by one before you make a decision."

"Ruwan..."

As soon as she walked out of the restaurant, she saw a good-looking middle-aged man walking over with a smile. He greeted Xia Ruwan and said, "I'm glad you're still here. Dad was just about to come look for you."

Xia Ruwan smiled faintly: "Dad, I'm just about to go out for a while, is there anything you need?"

——If you have nothing to do, please give way.

Master Xia's gaze lingered on Qin Huiyin. "Ruwan made some friends right after returning? That's right. You're so young, but you've been busy with business all day long, and you don't even know how to relax."

"I don't manage it, my mother is very hard-working."

——After all, she married a useless and disgusting man.

Boss Xia greeted the young man behind him and said, "Let me introduce you. This is Boss Zhao from Beijing. Boss Zhao is in the silk and satin business, and his business is spread all over the country."

Boss Zhao said modestly: "It's not that big, it's just a small business."

"Boss Zhao has ordered a batch of silk from us. I plan to treat Boss Zhao to dinner at our restaurant. Ruwan, you should stay and keep him company. It's a good opportunity for Boss Zhao to teach you how to do business." Mr. Xia said with a smile.

"I have something else to do, so I won't keep you company." Xia Ruwan's patience ran out, and she pulled Qin Huiyin behind her, "Let's go."

Qin Huiyin turned around and saw Master Xia's expression of disgust, which he hadn't retracted in time. When he noticed her gaze, his ferocious old face regained its kind expression.

Four words emerged in her mind: jackals, tigers and leopards.
