Traveling through the ages with the hotel, being doted on by four brothers

Chapter 149 Eat Melon
Except for the production team who arranged for the strong laborers to go out to shovel the snow, the rest of the people stayed at home and either visited other people's houses or sat on the Kang to chat.

Xia Chan and the others are studying at home while enjoying life, with hot tea, melon seeds, snacks, pastries... every day. Xia Chan even occasionally makes a cup of bitter coffee for her brothers, seeing that they are not used to it. The bitter taste of the coffee made Xia Chan frown in pain, and Xia Chan couldn't help laughing.

In fact, this coffee is very cheap. It only costs a few yuan a pack. It contains dozens of strips and can be used to brew dozens of cups. It’s not the kind of good freshly ground coffee that’s not that bitter. Maybe it’s because my brothers’ tolerance for it is too low. Bar!
Of course, the brothers didn't know that it was coffee. Xia Chan told them that it was a medicine to prevent colds, which was almost as effective as isatis root, so she coaxed them to taste a little.

I won’t bother them anymore.

On this day, the five brothers and sisters shared the canned yellow peach given by Liu Li. Xia Chan washed the canned bottle with hot water, then turned it upside down by the kang to dry the water inside. In the future, the bottle can be used used.

The brothers went out to look at the snow on the roof. When they saw snow piled up on the roof again, they started to clear the snow one by one.

Hearing the knock on the door, Xia Bin walked over to open the door. When he saw it was Qin Hongmei, Jiang Yue, and Jiang Yang, he let them in directly.

When Xia Chan saw Qin Hongmei, she was also very surprised, "Aunt Qin, why did you come up here? The road up the mountain is so slippery..."

Qin Hongmei smiled and said, "We are walking slowly, it's okay, and aren't there trees on the side? We just hold on to the trees when we slip."

Xia Chan quickly made three bowls of malted milk, then took some snacks, put them on a plate, and placed it on the kang table for them to eat.

Life has been a little better this year. Jiang Yue and Jiang Yang have both grown a lot taller. They are no longer as thin and small as when Xia Chan first woke up. They are wearing clothes without patches, which must have been exchanged from Yuan Bingbing and the others, and then altered to be smaller.

"Xiao Chan, I came up to see you today because I have something to tell you." Qin Hongmei's expression suddenly became serious. Xia Chan did not dare to take it lightly, but looked at her nervously, "The people in your old house were too lazy. They didn't sweep the snow when it snowed heavily, and then your grandparents' roof collapsed under the snow, and both of them were injured."

"Aunt Qin, we have no grandparents since our family moved out of the house and lived in the cave." Xia Chan's face darkened. Why didn't she smash these two old guys to death?
Her parents are such good people, what have they done to them?

They gave up the best and most filial child and kept the bad child with them. I don’t know if they will regret it.

Qin Hongmei held Xia Chan's hand, patted the back of her hand, and then said, "Don't worry, the people in the old house won't dare to disturb you."

Xia Chan nodded. Of course she knew. Not to mention that Director Qi and his men had scared them when they went to the old house, even now, she was the only tractor driver in the production team and she didn't have an apprentice yet. The team leader would not let them come up and disturb them.

What's more, Xia Chan's parents had severed all ties with the old house back then, and it was not just a simple separation of the family.

In other words, they have long been two families with no relationship at all.

Besides, there are so many children and grandchildren in the old house, and it is not Xia Chan and his friends' turn to do anything. They don't dare to come and make trouble for Xia Chan and his friends just because they feel sorry for their children and grandchildren. Xia Chan will definitely not show mercy to them.

"And your second uncle is getting close to the widow Wang from the production team. He probably wants to divorce and be with the widow Wang, but Xia Baozhu's mother will definitely not agree." Qin Hongmei said. The reason why Xia Chan didn't let them send Xia Baozhu's mother to the farm for reform was that she didn't want the second uncle to find another stepmother for Xia Qi. After all, with another stepmother, Xia Qi would be in more danger.

Xia Chan knew this widow Wang. She lived in the second to last row of houses in the village, but she couldn't remember which house she lived in. This widow Wang had three children, two daughters and one son. The son was the second child and the middle one.

Sons get married, daughters get married.

It can be said that Widow Wang is living a very good life now, but if she really gets together with Second Uncle, it is hard to guarantee that she will not regard Xia Qi as a thorn in her side, after all, Xia Qi is Second Uncle's only son.

When Second Uncle gets old, he might be like those hateful old men in the 21st century, pestering Xia Qi to be filial to him, and then Widow Wang will want to get rid of Xia Qi for the property.

"Aunt Qin, I understand." Xia Chan nodded thoughtfully. She couldn't let Xia Qi have the slightest danger. Even if it implicated Widow Wang's child, she didn't care. After all, Widow Wang accepted everyone who came to her. Her second uncle had a wife.

Qin Hongmei, Jiang Yue and Jiang Yang sat at home for a while and then went back. Xia Chan brought them a pound of egg cakes and ten pounds each of cassava, taro and wild yam, because every household in the village had other mountain products and they didn't need her to give them.

After they left, Xia Chan immediately took out paper and pen, and wrote with her left hand, writing a letter of complaint in the name of Xia Qi's stepmother. In short, she would not let Xia Qi's father and stepmother divorce, and it was even more impossible for her to let Widow Wang become Xia Qi's new stepmother.

This Widow Wang is not a good person. Stepmother Xia Qi is nothing in front of Widow Wang. It shows how powerful Widow Wang is.

So Xia Qi must never be allowed to be bullied or hurt again. Xia Qi's father is a guy who only has eyes for women. He has no regard for his son in his heart, otherwise he would not have allowed Xia Qi to be abused for so long.

But he is not the kind of man who is only in love with one woman. If that were the case, he would not have found a stepmother for Xia Qi not long after Xia Qi's mother passed away. He is simply a bastard who can't live without a woman.

But he doesn't love anyone, he only loves himself. He can do without anything else except women.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to be together with Widow Wang now. Maybe both of them have planned to get rid of stepmother Xia Qi first and then be together legitimately. After all, if they really get divorced, stepmother Xia Qi will never agree.

If she gets divorced, she and her three daughters will be left with nothing.

"Brother, whose turn is it to deliver rabbits to the village tomorrow?" Xia Chan asked while they were sitting together for dinner in the evening.

Xia Qi raised her arms, "It's my turn."

"Then let's go together tomorrow morning. I need to buy some things." Xia Chan smiled sweetly. Some things need to be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late when others take action.

The next morning, the sky was pitch black and nothing could be seen. Xia Chan and Xia Qi went down the mountain with flashlights and backpacks on their backs. If they were just delivering rabbits, they wouldn't have to go so early. They could just deliver it before the state-owned restaurant opened. But once Xia Chan went out, it meant he was going to the black market, so they had to go early as they would be easily seen during the day.
