The eldest, Xia Jiang, also looked at Xia Hai and said, “Third brother, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but our family is in a difficult situation. If we had the money, we’d have definitely given it to you. You have two sons, and they’ll definitely be successful in the future.
“Besides, Xia Chen has stopped studying. Even if you borrow some money and pay for his medical expenses, he can pay it off in two years. Your children are good. We believe in you.
Xia Wan sneered in her heart. She had never heard Xia Jiang praise her family before. It was all because he wanted them to split from the family.
Xia He, the second brother, wasn’t like Xia Jiang, who only knew how to say nice things. He took out 30 yuan from his pocket and said to Xia Hai, “We have two children, and Xia Yu is a big eater. She’s always causing trouble, so we really don’t have much money. I secretly saved this 30 yuan behind my wife’s back. I’ll give it all to you this time. I still care about you as an older brother, but my family really can’t help you.’
In front of the village chief and everyone else, Xia He was still happy to put on an act.
Xia Jiang, who had spoken to him earlier, was a little unhappy. He was also acting pitifully and didn’t want to help Xia Hai pay for his medical expenses. However, Xia He had only given 30 yuan more than him. In comparison, Xia Jiang seemed to be unkind.
Xia Jiang’s wife, Song Yan, also hurriedly took out 50 yuan and stuffed it into Yan Han’s arms. “This is a small token from our family. Other than this, I really can’t take out any more money.”
Song Yan’s heart ached when she handed the money to Yan han. Her Xia Jiang only earned a little more than 100 yuan a month, equivalent to one-third of her salary.
However, if they could successfully separate from the family, at least they would not have to bear the burden of Xia Hai.
Compared to 3000 yuan, this 50 yuan was nothing.
Yan Han didn’t want to take the money, but Xia Wan knew that the family would be split today, and this would be the last time she could hustle this family out of their money. So, she took the money from them without hesitation.
“All these years, you’ve only paid half of your salary each time, and you only have this little money. It’s been hard on you. My dad pays 300 yuan every month for your two families to spend. It’s not too much for me to take a few dozen from you.”
Then, Xia Wan looked at the village head. since grandma and the others are so heartless, let’s split the family. I just hope that in the future, grandma won’t come back and tell us it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision when we’re living a good life.
“In front of so many people, in front of the village chief, you better not regret
Hearing Xia Wan’s words, Li Jin felt that she was just trying to save face. If Xia Hai l s hand was crippled and he couldn’t work anymore, how much money could Xia Chen make a month?
Besides, Xia Wan and Xia Feng were still studying. Even if they could earn commissions from selling clothes, how long could they sell for? Xia Wan and Xia Feng would be going to school soon.
What kind of clothes could Xia Chen sell with his mouth?
Li Jin could not see any hope in his family, so he was determined to cut off all ties with Xia Hai l s family.
The village head was well aware of their family’s situation. After seeing Li Jin and the others ‘attitude, the village head felt a chill in his heart. He knew Xia Hai l s character, but what could Xia Hai do with such a mother?
The village chief sighed. He looked at Li Jin and asked solemnly, “Xia Hai is also your son. Are you sure you want to part with him? After the separation, you will live alone and not be responsible for each others debts. You won’t be able to enjoy the other party’s salary. Are you sure?”
Li Jin nodded without hesitation. I’m sure.
Xia Jiang and Xia He both heaved a sigh of relief when they heard Li Jin’s words.
The hospital had prepared a pen and paper, and the village chief helped them write down all kinds of terms. Xia Hails family was given out, so they only received 300 yuan from Li Jin and 80 yuan from Xia Jiang and Xia He, which added up to 380 yuan.
At the same time, Xia Hail s family received a piece of land. However, the land was remote, and there were no other houses around.
But Xia Wan didn’t mind. Even if it was just a piece of abandoned land, it was still land and would appreciate in the future.
After confirming no mistake, both sides wrote down their names and pressed their thumbprints.
This document was divided into two, with each receiving one half.
Having achieved her goal, Li Jin didn’t plan on staying any longer and was ready to leave..
