"Great!" Tian Li's excitement was beyond words. Then she straightened her expression and reached out to Xia Meng with a solemn expression.

"Comrade Xia Meng welcomes you to join our cultural station."

Xia Meng nodded slightly and shook hands with Tian Li again.

"Let's go!" Tian Li took Xia Meng's hand and spoke in a friendly tone.

"We are pressed for time and have heavy tasks, so we must start rehearsing immediately."

Seeing Tian Li dragging Xia Meng to the cultural station, Guo Cuihong said quickly,

"Wait a moment!"

Xia Meng ignored her and didn't even look at Guo Cuihong, but Tian Li couldn't turn a blind eye to Guo Cuihong and kept smiling on her face.

"Sister Guo, if Xia Meng is willing to join our cultural station, then he will be a member of our cultural station..."

Although Tian Li had a smile on her face when she spoke, she was defending Xia Meng both inside and outside her words.

"With outstanding talents like Xia Meng, our cultural station will be entirely dependent on her from now on."

Guo Cuihong's anger surged, but there was nothing she could do. She was afraid that she would yell at Tian Li when she opened her mouth, so she just looked at Xia Meng.

"Your father will come back in the evening. He has something to tell you."

"I really can't stop you from joining the art troupe, but your father comes back once in a while for your sake. Even if you hate me, you should meet your father."

Xia Meng glanced at Guo Cuihong coldly and said in an indifferent tone, "Gone!"

Seeing that Xia Meng didn't take Xia Hongbin seriously at all, Guo Cuihong immediately became anxious and blurted out,

"Xia Meng, don't act like everyone owes you, your father has never sorry for you!"

"Ah!"

Xia Meng almost laughed out of anger, narrowed her eyes and mocked,

"I was left in the countryside by him for nearly twenty years. In these twenty years, he only came back to see me a few times, twice? Or three times?"

"She treats Xia Bingqing better than she treats me, her biological daughter. Doesn't this mean she's not 'sorry' to me?"

In fact, Xia Meng didn't care what Xia Hongbin did to her. Xia Meng was just fighting for the original owner.

Faced with Xia Meng's doubts, Guo Cuihong did not feel guilty at all. She held her head high and spoke plausibly.

"It's not like your dad didn't give you living expenses."

Xia Meng curled her lips, smiled beautifully, and said in a cold tone, "It's the father's fault if a son doesn't teach him!"

Facing Xia Meng's gaze that was so cold to the bone, Guo Cuihong did not hide away, but said confidently,

"It's not your father's fault. Why don't you ask your mother what she did?"

"What does this mean?" Xia Meng frowned. Is there something hidden in this that the original owner doesn't know about?

Facing Xia Meng's questioning, Guo Cuihong seemed to suddenly realize that she had said something she shouldn't have said, and hurriedly changed the subject.

"Anyway, you can't leave now."

Xia Meng stared at Guo Cuihong for three seconds. After thinking for a moment, he said to Tian Li beside him,

"Captain Tian, ​​I'll report back tomorrow!"

"Okay," Tian Li agreed simply.

Xia Bingqing did not follow Tian Li Huiwen Troupe, but stayed.

In the afternoon, Guo Cuihong went out to buy a basket of vegetables and meat, and she and Xia Bingqing stayed in the kitchen making dumplings.

In the evening, Xia Yao and Xia Xiaohai came home from school.

"Mom, what's for dinner tonight?" As soon as Xia Xiaohai got home, he took off the military green schoolbag that was hanging on his body, flicked it skillfully, and threw it on the sofa. He had already run to the kitchen.

Xia Yao reluctantly followed into the house. After entering the house, she pushed her heel and closed the door. She complained dissatisfiedly to Guo Cuihong in the kitchen.

"I already told you that I'm going to watch a movie with my classmates today, why are you letting me go home?"

Xia Bingqing replied, "Dad will be home tonight!"

Xia Yao suddenly stopped talking, lying on the sofa in a daze with a somewhat bored expression. She faintly heard Xia Xiaohai's weak complaints coming from the kitchen.

"How to eat dumplings?"

Xia Xiaohai dislikes eating dumplings the most.

Guo Cuihong immediately said, "What's wrong with the dumplings? How delicious they are."

Xia Xiaohai curled his lips and said, "Mom, don't you also like eating? Dad is the only one in the family who likes to eat." After saying that, there was a look of indescribable expression on his face,

"He eats three meals a day and never gets tired of it."

"Okay," Guo Cuihong glared at her son, "Remember not to say this in front of your father."

Xia Xiaohai weakly agreed, "Okay!"

I made the dumplings at six o'clock and waited until 8:30 in the evening before Xia Hongbin came back.

Several children at home were starving, and Guo Cuihong insisted on waiting for Xia Hongbin to come back before cooking dumplings.

Xia Meng was not hungry. There were a lot of snacks in the space, and she also ate a lot of fruit. When Xia Hongbin came back, Xia Xiaohai came up to call her, and Xia Meng almost burped.

When going downstairs, Xia Hongbin was sitting on the sofa, and Xia Bingqing was talking to Xia Hongbin with an admiring look on her face.

"Dad, I have a friend whose grandfather is an old Chinese medicine doctor who knows how to prepare medicinal wine. It is said to be particularly effective against rheumatism. I have asked her to buy a jar of wine and I will bring it back next time I go home."

"Yes," Xia Hongbin looked majestic, with a loving smile on his face, and looked at Xia Bingqing with particularly gentle eyes.

"Okay, Bingqing, you are more sensible and much better than your younger brothers and sisters."

Xia Bingqing blushed at the praise and said quickly, "They are still young."

Xia Yao was sitting upright in front of Xia Hongbin. When she saw Xia Meng coming downstairs, she curled her lips and said something strangely,

"Dad, our fairy is here."

As soon as he said this, Xia Hongbin looked up and saw Xia Meng walking towards him.

Xia Hongbin immediately stopped the smile on his face and waved to Xia Meng,

"Come and sit!"

Xia Meng walked over expressionlessly and sat opposite Xia Hongbin openly.

After Xia Meng sat down, Xia Hongbin spoke seriously,

"I've heard what happened these days. Your Aunt Guo is talking nonsense. It's her fault. I will talk to her properly and she won't target you again in the future."

"Guo Dayong, you have also sent him to the bureau, and this matter is over."

"I heard your Aunt Guo say just now: Do you want to join the art troupe?"

Xia Meng's eyes turned colder. She didn't answer Xia Hongbin's words, but instead changed from passive to active.

"When I go out tomorrow morning, every time I see someone, I say: Guo Cuihong was raped. What do you think?"

Xia Bingqing and Xia Yao instantly glared at Xia Meng, while Xia Xiaohai looked embarrassed.

"Sister Xia Meng...don't be joking."

Xia Hongbin saw the provocation in Xia Meng's eyes and frowned.

"Didn't your Aunt Guo apologize to you?"

Xia Meng raised her eyebrows, "I will also apologize to her after I spread the rumors."

"You haven't said it yet, is this a good idea?" Xia Meng urged.

"Stop making trouble, I didn't ask you to come to the capital to cause trouble," Xia Hongbin said with a strong tone.

"You have grown up and are no longer a child."

"I know," Xia Meng looked at Xia Hongbin and smiled, the smile did not reach her eyes.

"You asked me to come to the capital just to see how beautiful I am and to get married to you in exchange for benefits."

"It doesn't have to sound so harsh," Xia Hongbin didn't think he had done anything wrong.

"I am your father, can I still harm you?"

"Is the person I asked you to marry any worse?"

"You have a good family background, good character, and a bright future. Will you suffer any loss if you marry such a young man?"

"If you were left in the countryside, what kind of man could you marry?"

"I'm not looking down on farmers, but farmers are indeed hardworking. Are you willing to follow your future husband and face the earth with your back to the sky? You have to work in the fields all day long and still don't have enough to eat?"
