Xia Cha looked at the old Chinese doctor beside her. Doctor, quickly take my grandmas pulse! Shes been unconscious for a while. Im afraid something will happen to her.

The old Chinese doctor was about to take Xia Wangshis pulse when she suddenly opened her eyes.

Aiyo, the second branch wants to drive me to my death! Lady Xia pointed at Xia Zhenxiang. Arent you going to help me up?

Xia Zhenxiang had already known that Xia Wangshi was acting. He walked over, shook off Xia Chas hand and helped Xia Wangshi up.

Xia Wangshi pointed at the old Chinese doctor again. When I treat patients, I always look for Doctor Li from the east of the city. I dont know this person and Im worried about letting him take a look. Zhenxiang, our family doesnt just welcome anyone. Send him out!

The old Chinese doctor was angered by Xia Wangshis words and his expression darkened. He waved his hand and left.

Once the old Chinese doctor left, Xia Wangshi put her hand over her heart again, looking extremely sad.

Grandma, when the doctor was here just now, you felt fine. But now that hes gone, you feel terrible again. You still have to learn from Sister Furong some acting skills. After all, Sister Furong majors in acting!

Xia Cha said with a faint smile.

Xia Wangshi glanced at Xia Cha. This child who used to be inconspicuous in the Xia family seemed like a different person after the accident.

Without waiting for Xia Wangshi to say anything, Xia Cha walked in front of Old Master Xia and the two elders of the Xia family. Grandpa, Uncle, its not that our second branch is being unreasonable today and made Grandma angry. After we finished our work at the fruit garden, we returned home at night and found that the box had been opened by someone. The jade pendant that my Grandma gave to Mom was missing.

As Xia Cha spoke, she pointed at the jade pendant on Xia Wangshis neck. Its the one Grandma is wearing.

Xia Wangshis expression changed. She wanted to rush forward and tear Xia Chas sharp tongue into pieces.

Xia Wangshi looked down and the jade pendant she had hidden in her clothes had appeared. It was too late for her to hide it.

In front of Old Master Xia and his two older brothers, she could only quibble. I think you know very well the situation with the second branchs daughter-in-laws family. In the past, they couldnt even afford to eat. How could they have a jade pendant? This thing is mine!

Even if she had taken it from her second daughter-in-laws room, her second daughter-in-law had entered the Xia family and the thing belonged to her!

Xia Cha looked at Xia Wangshi, whose face was as thick as a city wall, and a trace of coldness flashed past her eyes. Grandma, you probably dont know that my mothers name is carved on the back of the jade pendant, right? Why dont you take it down and let Grandpa and the two uncles see?

When Xia Wangshi heard this, she took the jade pendant and looked at the front and back. Wheres the engraving?

Her actions made the two elders understand what had happened.

Old Master Xias face flushed red and he shouted angrily, How could you do such a thing? Give it back to Second Sons wife!

Xia Wangshi also realized that Xia Chas words were a bluff!

There were no words behind the jade pendant.

Xia Wangshi glared at Xia Cha, wanting to kill her.

But with the two older brothers around, Xia Wangshi did not dare to act rashly.

She said with a dark expression, Isnt Second Sons wife from the Xia family? When she first came in, she already knew the Xia familys rules. The dowry must be handed to me. Why is it wrong for me to take back what belongs to me? All of them came to criticize me. Even the young ones dare to show off in front of me!

Xia Wangshi suddenly burst into tears. I might as well die

Before Xia Wangshi could finish, she heard Xia Chas cold voice, Grandma, if you really want to die, I have a fruit knife. If you want it, I can give it to you.

Xia Wangshi pointed a trembling finger at Xia Cha. Y-You

The jade pendant is not my mothers dowry. Please return it to my mother! Xia Cha took the fruit knife and walked toward Xia Wangshi.

When the others saw Xia Chas murderous expression, they looked at each other and did not dare to go forward.

Only Xia Zhenyuan was afraid that Xia Cha would cause a disaster and wanted to go forward to stop her. Xia Xing was quick and hugged him.

Seeing that Xia Cha was going to fight her to the death, Xia Wangshis lips moved, then she raised her hand and pulled off the jade pendant around her neck.

You brat, youre so protective of your mothers things. Here, Ill give it back to you! Xia Wangshi raised her hand and threw the jade pendant to the ground ruthlessly.

With a crisp sound, the jade pendant cracked before breaking into two pieces.

Xia Wangshi snorted and twisted her fat body before heading to her bedroom.

Xia Cha looked at the broken jade pendant on the floor and her heart tightened and felt terrible.

Qiu Zhi staggered toward the broken jade pendant, tears appearing in her eyes.

A few seconds later, Qiu Zhi blacked out and fell to the ground like a falling leaf.

Qiu Zhi had fallen sick from her anger.

Xia Xing found a doctor who prescribed some Chinese medicine, but Qiu Zhi did not recover even after taking the medicine.

The doctor said that Qiu Zhi was traumatized.

Usually, Qiu Zhi insisted on working for her family even if she was a little sick and in pain. She never rested a single day throughout the year.

This time, she was really fuming.

In the hearts of the three sisters, Qiu Zhi was like a mountain. Now that the mountain had fallen, they were anxious and sad.

Other than the fact that Xia Wangshi had gone overboard in stealing the jade pendant and smashing it, there was another person that the three sisters had a problem with.

That was their father, Xia Zhenyuan.

Anyone with eyes could see that Xia Wangshi was bullying Qiu Zhi, but Xia Zhenyuan, because of his foolish filial piety, he did not help, and even wanted to stop them from protecting Qiu Zhi.

Xia Zhenyuan saw that his wife had fallen ill and realized that he had made a mistake.

However, the three children ignored him and Qiu Zhi was unwilling to say anything to him either.

Xia Zhenyuan could only sleep outside the house that night.

The next day.

Because Qiu Zhi was sick, she could not get up to make breakfast.

After waiting for a long time and seeing that there was nothing to eat, Xia Wangshi shouted at the second branch for being lazy.

Xia Zhenyuan could not listen anymore. He went to the main room and said to Xia Wangshi, Mom, Ah Zhi is sick.

If shes sick, what about our breakfast? Whats wrong with your family recently? First, that d*mn girl Xia Cha got into a car accident and spent a huge sum of money. Now, your wife is sick too. Dont even think about asking me for a cent for her medicine! Doesnt she have a jade pendant? If she sells it, she might be able to get her life back!

Mom, how can you say that?

Why, do you want to go against your mom too? That woman of yours gave birth to three useless children. How much money does she have to spend every year? Now, she cant even do housework. Shes so delicate. Why doesnt she just go to heaven?

Mom, stop talking about Ah Zhi. Ill go and cook, okay?
