Chapter 818 The Most Expensive Rice
Only then did Aunt Liu remember that there was such a big life and death threat!
Her face suddenly turned pale, fearing that these mountain people would do something impulsively.
Father Ye's face was also ugly, and he stammered: "Brother Xia, Xia, what you are doing is unkind. How can you force our family to be separated? Xiaoling is my biological daughter after all. I want to see her...I want to ask her myself, why is she so unfilial?"
How could Xia Haichao allow him to lose his fortune?
He was very polite, but refused to give in. "I'm afraid Miss Ling won't have time to see you."
"You... aren't you bullying others?" Father Ye was anxious. Although he has never cared much about this daughter, and has not shown any fatherly love under Aunt Liu's encouragement for many years, after all, she is his "biological" daughter, and she is famous and promising. Suddenly, he wants to sever the relationship between father and daughter. He couldn't accept it.
Aunt Liu's face was still pale, but she whispered, "Why is this girl nicer to outsiders than to her own father?" Her eyes unknowingly glanced at the big travel bag that Arnold was carrying, which was bulging with stuff. There are also many gifts for the Xia clan members.
"Grandpa Ye, Grandma Liu." Suddenly, a soft and waxy child's voice sounded.
Everyone looked around and saw Shao Hui, who had walked several steps back, looking at the Ye family and his wife with watery eyes. Aunt Liu reacted for a moment before she realized that "Grandma Liu" was calling her. Was this naughty kid tired of living or something? How dare you call yourself so old?
"Who are you calling!" She screamed and wanted to continue the attack, but suddenly caught a glimpse of Xia Haichao's warning look not far away, and couldn't help but shudder and shut her mouth.
Only then did Father Ye realize that there was another child present.
He had no impression of Xia Ling's child.
The last time I saw her, it was five years ago when the baby was just born. The baby was thin, weak, a little sickly, and not very lovable. Later, when he heard that the child was dead, he lamented for a few days but didn't take it seriously - at that time, it was when Chu Chen was threatening the Ye family and not letting them go to Xia Ling to cause trouble. Under Aunt Liu's instigation, he felt I was filled with anger and felt vaguely that this was retribution.
Even when Xia Ling was suffering from the pain of losing her son, he didn't even make a comforting phone call.
Later, I heard that Xia Ling had adopted a child. He heard Aunt Liu complain again: "My good parents and sister are so poor that they can't take the blame, and they haven't seen the Sangmenxing show any concern, but they spent so much money to adopt a little bastard who doesn't know where they came from?" Why are you keeping it? Will you compete with us for property in the future? ! ]
The resentment in his heart was even heavier, and he was even less willing to care about the child.
As a result, it was later revealed that the child was Xia Ling's biological child, and Ye's father ignored him out of habit.
Now, when the living child stood in front of him, he remembered that this child was his little grandson, his biological grandson. She looked at him innocently and smiled with all her teeth, so cute.
Father Ye's heart almost melted, and he softened his voice unconsciously: "Are you Xiao Shaohui? I am your grandpa."
Xiao Shaohui stretched out his white and tender little paws: "Hello, Grandpa Ye, did you bring me a gift?"
"What?" The smile on Father Ye's face froze. He came here just because of Xia Ling's request and Aunt Liu's order to earn 30,000 yuan for running errands. How could he remember to bring gifts to his children?
When Xiao Shaohui asked, his expression became embarrassed.
Father Ye stretched out his hand nervously and groped all over his body, but there was nothing except half a pack of crumpled cigarettes. "Grandpa will make it up for you next time..." He felt so embarrassed that he had no choice but to say this.
Xiao Shaohui looked disappointed and looked at Aunt Liu again: "Where is Granny Liu?"
Aunt Liu snorted coldly: "Your mother is about to sever ties with our family. Do you still want a gift?"
She originally thought that the child would cry after hearing this answer, and she had already thought of a way to deal with the naughty children of her relatives, but unexpectedly, Shao Hui retracted his hand and nodded seriously: "Mother Liu is right, Only a family will remember to buy gifts for one family.”
One sentence made Father Ye's face turn blue and white.
He suddenly realized that he really did not regard Xiaoling and her children as a family from the bottom of his heart. He always wanted to ask for something from them, but never remembered to give.
Although they are biological father and daughter, the distance between them is so strange.
Xia Haichao secretly gave the young master a big thumbs up in his heart, and then said: "Young master Shaohui is right, you two, you haven't even prepared a gift for your child. Our Xia family has reason to doubt You treat Miss Ling and Young Master Shaohui harshly. Please stop resisting the adoption matter."
Father Ye lowered his head like a defeated rooster.
Aunt Liu was struggling: "You can't say this. The son doesn't think the family is poor, and the son doesn't think the mother is ugly. What's wrong with us is that we have no money. Isn't it different here where you also have no money? How can you adopt Xiao Ling?"
For generations, the Xia family has believed in being natural and casual. Although they have accumulated astonishing wealth, they have never revealed it. Even the buildings where the clan lives are all old wooden structures with beautiful shapes that fit the landscape. At first glance, there is nothing surprising, and it is no wonder that Aunt Liu thought it was an ordinary mountain village.
Xia Haichao smiled: "Rich or not, Young Master Shaohui was raised by the Xia family with hard work. Every year, the Young Master is given a lot of food, clothing, gifts and education expenses. How about this? This money, two If the title can be returned to the Xia family, the Xia family will never mention the matter of adoption again."
Aunt Liu choked. Raising a child for four to five years is not a small expense even if an ordinary person's family is poor. Is it worth paying so much money for a stinky child?
Her eyes were busy calculating.
Father Ye mustered up the courage to ask: "How much?" He still couldn't bear to part with his daughter. How many generations of the Ye family can produce such a big star? I still expect her to honor her ancestors.
Xia Haichao still smiled: "Not much. According to the standard of a direct young master of our family, all the food after birth is grown by the family and raised in the courtyard. I'm not sure how to estimate it - I can only say that there was an unscrupulous son a few years ago. We take the stem rice grown by the clan outside and sell it, and one kilogram can be sold for about 100,000 yuan."
The Ye family couple gasped.
"You're lying!" Aunt Liu jumped, "How can there be such expensive rice?!"
"Not just rice, vegetables, fruits, and fish are all priceless. Young Master Shaohui has lived in the clan for four full years. You two can calculate how much it will cost." Xia Haichao said calmly. In fact, with the wealth of the Xia family, they can easily spend more than 20 billion to give Xia Ling "pocket money". This little rice and food are really not expensive.
They are all planted and grazed according to Feng Shui and the Five Elements, which is very particular. How many people in the outside world are holding a lot of money just to get some rice from the Xia family?
In the eyes of ordinary people, that is a sky-high price.
Aunt Liu shook her head: "I don't believe it... you must be making things difficult for us..."
