Xia Chen and Liu Hua went back to their hometown, and the round trip on bicycles didn’t take too much time.

However, due to the rush on the way back, they could only buy a bun to satisfy their hunger and didn’t have time for a proper meal.

After they left, Yan Han looked at the empty store without customers and couldn’t help but worry, “What should we do with our store here?”

Xia Wan thought for a moment and said, “Since the other side has already started challenging us, even if it means losing money, we can’t let them take advantage of us.

“We’ll sell our clothes at the same price as their store.

“I guess their cost price won’t be much higher than our wholesale price. At most, we’ll earn a little less. Even if we only make back the cost, it’s better than having the clothes sit in the store unsold.”

Yan Han still couldn’t relax completely.

“But now that we’ve lowered our prices, what will we do in the future? Xia Ru’s family has a better source of merchandise; each time they purchase, it’s cheaper than ours, and their clothing styles are the same as ours. We definitely can’t compete with them.”

Xia Wan reassured her, “It’s okay. It’s almost time for the season change, and we should prepare to buy autumn clothes. This batch of clothes will eventually be discounted sooner or later. Let’s consider it as an early preparation.” Xia Wan added, “Mom and Dad, just focus on selling clothes, and leave the rest to me.

“Let’s say, even if our family’s store can’t continue, I have other ways to make money.”

Seeing Xia Wan’s determination, Yan Han finally let go of her worries.

After a simple meal, Xia Wan went back to school.

Xia Chen and Liu Hua rode their bicycles back to the village.

The two of them went straight to Li Jin’s house.

Before entering the house, they could hear an argument coming from inside.

Clearly, things weren’t going well for Li Jin and her family lately.

When they saw Xia Chen, the Xia family members were surprised.

Xia Jiang and Xia He were working outside, so only Song Yan and Chen Lian were at home during the day.

Seeing that Xia Chen had returned, Song Yan dropped the hoe in her hand.

She scrutinized Xia Chen from head to toe and asked, “What are you doing back?”

Her intuition told Song Yan that Xia Chen’s return was definitely not good news.

Xia Chen didn’t beat around the bush and said directly, “We saw Xia Ru in the county town.”

Song Yan immediately became excited. “She’s finally back? Where is she now? Has she found a good job?”

Xia Chen sneered, “I can’t say her job is good, but she’s found a boyfriend who’s very wealthy. The only thing is, he’s over ten years older than her. Would you accept a son-in-law like that?”

Upon hearing the first half, Song Yan was still happy, thinking that her daughter was indeed capable of attracting wealthy boyfriends. But when she heard that the man was over ten years older than Xia Ru, Song Yan couldn’t muster a smile.

She forced a smile and asked, “Maybe this man is just older, but is he at least decent-looking?”

Xia Chen didn’t hold back and said, “His appearance can’t compare to any of the men in our family.”

Song Yan fell silent. She was hesitant about accepting Xia Ru in her current situation.

Before Xia Ru left home, she had told Song Yan that she had to make something of herself outside before returning home.

Now that Xia Ru had returned, she had brought home a much older man.

Even if Song Yan convinced herself not to mind, the villagers would surely gossip when they saw such a man in the village.

Chen Lian had been worried at first, thinking that if Xia Ru had really found a wealthy boyfriend, her daughter Xia Ye would be overshadowed. Unexpectedly, Xia Ru had found an older man, which made Chen Lian happy.

Chen Lian thought about how Song Yan had been constantly arguing with her in recent days, covertly assigning many tasks to her, and making her suffer. Now, she didn’t hesitate to say, “Xia Ru is indeed capable. Older men are more experienced. Being able to win the heart of an older man means she’s skillful. She truly is a clever girl raised by her sister-in-law, and Xia Ye can’t compare in terms of intelligence.

“Xia Ye is only suited for studying diligently. After she gets into a university, she can find a boy her age. We don’t need them to live too well. Having a job in the city after graduating is good enough. As for the blessings of an older man, our Xia Ye won’t be able to enjoy them..”
