Chapter 1423 Cause A Lot Of Trouble



The Xia family arranged for a car to send the Shao family back to the guest house. From this point onwards, the Xia family had nothing to do with the Shao family anymore.

It was very quiet in the house. After Xia Jun finished his tea, he spoke slowly, "All of you, come to my place tomorrow. I want to split up the family!"

"Grandfather, now that this matter has been resolved, let's not split up the family. Isn't it good for a family to be together?" Qiao Mei said as she looked at Xia Jun. She could tell that Xia Jun was actually reluctant to go through with it.

"What's spoken cannot be unspoken. I always mean what I say. If I say I want the family to split up, then the family will split up. All of you, come to my place tomorrow. Don't be late." After saying that, Xia Jun turned to look at Qiao Mei affectionately and said, "Child, it's been hard on you to suffer so much for no reason. You've done a very good job today."

"Grandfather, I'm the Xia family's daughter-in-law. This is what I should do," Qiao Mei said with a sweet smile.

Deep inside, Xia Jun did not want the family to split up. He was very proud of Xia Mao and Xia Yao had never caused him any trouble even from a young age. Then again, he felt that he had let Xia Yao down. It would not matter to him if Xia Guang was only causing trouble for him, but the thing was that Xia Guang was also creating trouble for Xia Mao's children. The entire family had to go through so much because of Xia Guang, therefore Xia Jun was adamant that the family must split up!

Xia Jun left Qiao Mei's house, hobbling with some difficulty on his walking stick. Xia Mao, Xu Lan, Liu Fen and the others also left in their cars. They still wanted to try to persuade Xia Jun to change his mind.

Xia Wen waited for everyone to leave and all the drama to end before he walked out of the backyard. He applauded Qiao Mei and said, "How capable. I was very impressed as I listened to the whole thing from behind."

"How am I as capable as Eldest Brother? I was so shocked by your scheme that I almost let the cat out of the bag. Have you already sent Shao Tu and Shao Xian away?" Qiao Mei asked.

"Yes, they have been taken away. Luo Yu personally dragged them out. The two of them were thrown into the truck like pigs headed for the market. It's a pity that you and Xia He didn't see that scene," Xia Wen said as he shook his head.

"Eldest Brother, do you want Grandfather to split up the family?" Xia He asked with tears in her eyes.

In his heart, Xia Wen hoped that Xia Jun would split up the family. Xia Wen was not the kind of person who was old-fashioned and wanted to keep to traditions. He preferred to be selfish and only wanted his father to have a happy family life and his siblings' own families to live harmoniously. He did not care about anything else.

Xia Wen knew very well what the Xia family's current main issue was. Xia Guang was no longer the Xia Guang of the past. He was no longer on the same page with the rest of the Xia family and had repeatedly harmed Xia Wen and Xia Wen's younger siblings. Xia Wen really could not take it anymore.

All these years, Xia Guang had always felt that he owed the Zhou family and his children too much. Therefore, he had done many wrong things and made one mistake after another. There was no turning back for him.

During this period of time, the third son's family had already caused the eldest son's family a lot of trouble. In this short period of time, the eldest son's family had already spent more than 5,000 dollars in cash! Would anyone in this era even think that this was a small sum of money?

If the Xia family kept the third son's family around, there might even be more trouble in the future. Since Xia Jun was still around at the moment, Xia Guang would not dare to do anything out of line. Once Xia Jun was gone, Xia Guang would only become even more demanding and ask Xia Mao for more things because Xia Guang always felt that the Xia family owed him too much.

"Actually, I agree with what Grandfather is doing..." Xia Wen said seriously.

"Elder Sister, don't think too much about it. Grandfather must have his own reasons for making such a decision. We just have to take good care of Grandfather and our parents. Besides, it's not like we can't contact each other anymore after the family is split up. Second Aunt-in-law will still come to our house often!" Qiao Mei looked at Xia He and comforted her.

Xia He also knew that this entire matter was targeted at the third son's family, but her heart still felt empty and she needed some time to get used to it.n.-o/(V.)ε-(l/-b-/1/-n

Everyone washed up quickly and went to bed. Xia He pestered Qiao Mei to sleep in the same room with her and the two of them chatted until very late at night before falling asleep. Xia Jun did not rush everyone to go over to his place first thing in the day. He chose to ask everyone to go over in the afternoon so as to accommodate Qiao Mei.

Qiao Mei liked to sleep until past 10 a.m. in the morning. If she was in any other family, she would have long been woken up to do the chores. Xia Jun and the rest of the family doted on Qiao Mei and always accommodated her schedule.

In the past, Liu Fen and the others were quite upset about this. Why did they have to follow a village girl's schedule? Was the Xia family going to change their surname to Qiao?
