Chapter 1398 What Are You Looking For

Bian Duo hurriedly pulled Shao Yin to one side and asked, "Didn't you say that the house we're using today is yours? Why did they say that it's their brother's house? Are they already bullying you? Everyone in our family is here now and we can definitely seek justice for you!"

"It... it belongs to someone else. My house is still under repair! It'll probably take a long time. You'll know how big it is when you go in and take a look," Shao Yin whispered.

Shao Zhuang walked at the front arrogantly, strutting like a peacock with its tail feathers up, just short of doing a dance for everyone to liven things up.

"Look at this big courtyard! My daughter will also have such a big courtyard in the future!" Shao Zhuang waved his hand and said in a rude manner.

Xia Wen and Xia He walked at the back and held back their laughter. With Xia Xing's current ability, he probably would not be able to have a house of his own in the capital within the next five years. Even if he did, he would at most be able to live in an old low-rise apartment building, the kind where one shared the compound with many neighbors.

"Elder Brother! I've never seen such a big courtyard before! Your Shao Yin is really capable!" Shao Tu said enviously.

Shao Xian also felt a little shocked to see all this. Although he had worked in different places for a few years and had amassed all kinds of experiences, he had never seen, or even imagined, the kind of grandeur that existed in the capital.

"Of course!" Shao Zhuang said proudly. nove-Lb-In

Xia Fang and the other women could vaguely hear the commotion caused by the Shao family. Liu Fen hurriedly grabbed Xu Lan and Xia Fang by the hands and said, "You must be calm! Don't let your emotions get the better of you!"

"That depends on whether they're easy to get along with. If they have a sense of propriety, then we also won't take the initiative to cause trouble. If they speak without thinking, then don't blame me for giving them a hard time!" Xia Fang said with a sneer.

Xia Fang was the youngest child in the family. Xia Jun and Wu Min doted on her in particular. She also had three older brothers and an older sister who took care of her since she was young. It could be said that Xia Fang grew up being showered with all the love of the Xia family. After she got married, Xiang Jin also gave in to her with regard to everything. As long as it was something which Xia Fang liked, Xiang Jin would do his best to help her get it.

She had never been afraid of anyone. With her powerful maternal family and the backing of her husband's family which doted on her, she was not scared of having a showdown with anyone. Even Xia Guang had to show her some respect! She was Xia Guang's only younger sister.

"Youngest Sister-in-law is right. We're no pushovers!" Xu Lan said firmly.

Seeing that the two of them had already made up their minds and could not be persuaded no matter what, Liu Fen simply let them be.

Zhou Luo carefully sized up the entire house. She pushed open the doors of every room and went inside to take a look. She walked around like she was in her own house and did not behave politely at all.

She had only been to this house once and that was when Zhou Hua and Xia Guang got married. At that time, the house was still quite shabby and the furnishings in the house were all scruffy. In Zhou Luo's eyes, the vintage stuff left behind by the ancestors were justl trash and it was always better to have modern furniture.

"Auntie Zhou, what are you looking for? If you can't find it, you can tell me! I'm most familiar with this place! I'll definitely be able to help you find it!" Xia He stood behind Zhou Luo and said loudly, so that everyone turned to look at Zhou Luo.

"I... I'm looking for the toilet!" Zhou Luo said guiltily.

Xia Fang and the other women happened to be in the room right next door to them. When they heard the voices, they quickly came out to take a look. Xia Fang leaned against the door and said with a smile, "Isn't this the elder sister of the Zhou family? I hope you've been well. I certainly don't expect to see you here today. Oh? Haven't you been here before? Why can't you even remember where the toilet is?"

Most of the Xia family members were still upset over the fact that Zhou Luo had brought up Xia Lu and Xia Yan. However, at that time, most of them could barely support themselves and had no way of bringing Xia Lu and Xia Yan back. At that time, Xia Fang wanted to fight the Zhou family to the end. With her salary, she could definitely support two more children.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Luo did not allow these two children to meet anyone at all. Xia Jun had to advise Xia Fang to drop the idea before she was willing to give up. For many years after that, the two women were not on good terms. The rest of the Xia family members would still give in to Zhou Luo, but Xia Fang only wished she could rip out Zhou Luo's tendons and bones.

To explore the reason why Zhou Luo got so close to the Xia family, one had to start when Xia Guang wanted to marry Zhou Hua. At that time, the Zhou family was doing very well, very much better than the Xia family. After all, they had been tomb raiders for generations. They were always able to sell their stolen goods on the black market and they lived their lives much more comfortably than most people.
