Chapter 45 The marriage was a charity from the Xia family
Xia Yaoyao's breathing was rapid, her face turned red from exerting herself, and a large amount of sweat kept dripping from her forehead. She didn't need to look in the mirror to know how embarrassed she was.
Li Yinshuang was used to living a good life, and moving a solid wooden bed made her exhausted.
"I can't do it anymore." Li Yinshuang had reached her limit. She let go and the two bed boards fell to the floor.
The bed board lost control and hit her.
Li Yinshuang was worried about being hit, so she dodged away. Unexpectedly, the move was too big and her waist flashed. Her face turned pale and she was speechless in pain.
Xia Mi opened the door and saw Li Yinshuang hunched over with pain on his face. Xia Yaoyao wanted to help, but she couldn't move her hands away.
"Mom, sister, you are here." Xia Mi walked out.
She didn't help Li Yinshuang, but bent down to pick up the fallen board. "I came at the right time. I just said I would go and see if the bed was done, so here we are."
Li Yinshuang thought Xia Mi was here to help her, so she silently withdrew her hand that was frozen in the air.
Li Yinshuang and Xia Yaoyao never expected that they would enter Xia Mi's home in this way.
"Xia Mi, your father told you half a month in advance that he was coming. You asked us to help you move your bed and do hard work as soon as we arrived. If you don't welcome us, you can write back and make it clear in advance."
Li Yinshuang subconsciously thought that this was Xia Mi's revenge on her.
Xia Mi put the bed board against the door and leaned against it, smiling lightly, "Mom, you really don't blame me. I also told the carpenter in advance and asked him to notify me in advance. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."
Xia Mi pretended not to know and explained to both of them. This was not to help her, but to help themselves.
If it weren't for these two people, she wouldn't have to waste money on a new bed.
"Sister-in-law, the battalion commander greeted me in advance. I passed by Carpenter Wei's house this morning and stopped by to ask. When he heard that it was a bed made for my aunt and Comrade Xia, he quickly did the finishing work and then asked me to go there in the afternoon. Pull.”
Shi Daqiang put down his things, he was so tired that he was sweating, and he grinned with a simple smile.
"I also thought about picking up the two of them and bringing them back together, so that my aunt and the others would not have a place to sleep at night."
Shi Daqiang was very polite and emphasized that it was a bed for two people.
Li Yinshuang and Xia Yaoyao were so angry that they could not speak.
Fortunately, when she was on the boat, she felt sorry for Xia Mi coming to such a difficult place, but now she saw that Xia Mi had no repentance at all.
Li Yinshuang's hatred for this adopted daughter deepened in her heart.
Xia Yaoyao was more puzzled. When they were at the dock just now, as soon as the soldiers stationed on duty heard that they were looking for Xia Mi, someone drove them to see her off.
What she was curious about was, could Yan Yiming still use a car if he was just a deputy battalion commander?
After waiting for the bed to be installed, Xia Mi poured water for Shi Daqiang first, and then asked the two stunned people to drink water.
Li Yinshuang sat and couldn't help but look at the house, "I didn't expect you guys to get such a big house."
This is much better than the small courtyard where they live.
Suzhou has a large and mixed population, and the Xia family didn't dare live in their old house, so they sealed it off and moved to an old and small courtyard to make do with it.
Xia Mi patted the dust on his hands and looked at the vegetables he bought after get off work.
"Mom, if you feel uncomfortable, go lie down and rest first, and my sister and I will go cook."
Li Yinshuang was relieved when he heard that he was resting, but when he saw that there was no mattress.
"You didn't even make the bed, how can I lie down?"
Xia Yaoyao was equally reluctant. She had done a lot to move the bed just now. In order to please Shen Xia Mi, she remained silent.
Now that she couldn't even sit on the bench to warm up, Xia Mi asked her to cook.
"Let me make the bed, Xia Mi, where do you put your things?"
Xia Mi suddenly realized, and an apology appeared on his face, "I, I didn't have these dowries when I got married. Now I use the dowries issued by the army, not much."
As soon as the words came out, Xia Yaoyao could hardly control her emotions. Li Yinshuang was almost angry to death and couldn't bear it anymore, "Your dad said hello half a month ago. You didn't prepare for so long, but you waited until today to remember. Didn't you mean it?"
"Xia Mi, you are not related by blood to us, but I still tried my best to support you for twenty years. Is this how you repay me?"
"You don't remember the dirty things you did in Suzhou, but we still remember them. Don't think that marrying a soldier can erase everything."
Li Yinshuang expressed her displeasure.
Xia Mi didn't expect that just after arriving, his face would be torn.
"If you had known that I was not related by blood, would you still have supported me for twenty years?"
Li Yinshuang was slightly surprised, staring at Xia Mi in disbelief, and found that there seemed to be something missing in her eyes.
Xia Yaoyao knew what this missing thing was.
It's fear. Xia Mi used to be afraid of losing her parents and brother, but now it's different. Xia Mi's eyes are calm, as if she doesn't care about them at all.
Xia Mi raised his face, his eyes were clear and his expression was indifferent.
"When you came, you didn't ask me for my opinion. You just informed me directly. It's the same as asking me to marry to Zhuifeng Island. It's a notification without discussion."

Xia Mi sat down and looked at the silent mother and daughter.
"It was you who said that I had nothing to do with you after I arrived at Zhui Feng Island, and it was you who said that we would never have any contact with each other until death."
Li Yinshuang's arrogant arrogance was suddenly cut in half.
These cruel words were indeed said by them, but these were not worth mentioning at all compared to the bad things Xia Mi had done.
"Although I don't know what your motives are for pretending to come to Zhui Feng Island to see me even though you hate me, I think these days should be our last chance to meet in this life."
"I admit the wrong things I did in the past, but I was not born bad. Mom, don't you know this best?"
Xia Mi smiled slightly, the smile on her face was dazzling, as if she was reminding Li Yinshuang of the memory of her being proud of her when she was a child.
"I used to be in your territory, so I listened to you in everything I did. Now you are in my home, so you should listen to me on what to do."
While he was talking, the sky outside turned dark, and the off-duty number rang, interrupting what Xia Mi wanted to say next.
Xia Yaoyao looked at her mother who was turning blue and white from anger, and finally couldn't bear the bad breath.
"Xia Mi, this marriage is between us and the Yan family. Logically speaking, your ability to marry such a good person depends entirely on our friendship with the Yan family."
"Isn't it too much for you to talk to mom like this?"
Xia Yaoyao stared at Xia Mi closely, her eyes were hot, and she was reminding Xia Mi both inside and outside her words.
Everything she has now was brought by the Xia family.
At the same time, he also woke up Li Yinshuang, who was about to faint from anger.
Li Yinshuang realized later that she had been trapped by Xia Mi's words just now and was unable to say a word.
"How can I marry such a good person?" Xia Mi whispered softly, feeling a little funny.
She asked Xia Yaoyao, "Then why didn't you get married before? This is a good marriage for your Xia family."
"Xia Mi, shut up!"
Li Yinshuang's temples felt throbbing pain. As long as Xia Mi said another word, she felt like she would faint from anger.
Why did she feel that after Xia Mi came to Zhui Feng Island, he became more sharp-tongued?
"It's a rare thing. This is the first time I love someone and I've told an outsider to shut up."
Huo Jingchen came back with Shi Daqiang.
The man's expression was unusually cold, and the pressure on his body was colder than usual, making people feel suffocated.
"If you don't want to stay, I will arrange for someone to send you away now."
