Became a salted fish pretend heiress and handed over the system-Chapter 534 - 523: Friendly Exchange

Upon hearing Mrs. Mu’s words, Xia Yue looked at them with a puzzled expression, wondering why they were shooing her away right upon arrival.

"Yes, Xia, you’re the boss, you should be very busy. We’re just going to chat and catch up, your grandma and grandpa are here," the others quickly understood Mrs. Mu’s intention and chimed in.

"Grandma?" Xia Yue turned her gaze to Mrs. Xia for explanation.

"You should go tend to other things first. Once we’re done catching up, take them around for a tour. Of course, we won’t go into areas that we shouldn’t," Mrs. Xia also understood their intentions. After all, her old nagger couldn’t escape this beating, so it’s better for the younger ones not to be here and retain some dignity.

"Alright, dear grandmas and grandpas, enjoy and eat well. I’ll take my leave now. Feel free to contact me if needed. Goodbye," Xia Yue waved at them and turned to leave upon hearing these words.

She left the courtyard in the absence of a backward glance.

"Old Xia, you’re really out of line. You’ve got this great place and you hid it from us, showing off all the time. Every time I saw you boasting, I wanted to smack you. Today, I finally got the chance."

"Folks, it’s time for us to take revenge. Let’s give him a good smack first before settling into our nostalgic talk," Old Master Qin stretched his hands and straightened his neck, a mischievous grin adorning his face as he looked at Old Master Xia.

Having said that, he motioned to the other senior men and women.

The other six surrounded Old Master Xia and distanced Mrs. Xia.

"Sister, you make the tea first. We’ll sit back and enjoy it after we’ve connected emotionally," Old Master Han addressed Mrs. Xia.

Mrs. Xia glanced their way and then at her poor encircled husband. Knowing they were just fooling around and wouldn’t actually harm him, she nodded and went inside to prepare tea and snack.

"This is uncivilized. Where is your etiquette? Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

"My hand, my hand."

"Don’t pull my hair, don’t pull my hair!"

"You lawless bunch, shameless, bullying the one against many, ahhhhh!"

"We beat you precisely because you deserved it, you rascal."

"I’ll show you for showing off, I’ll pull your hair out, bald!"

"You have been provoking us in the group chat. Now it’s your turn to suffer."

"This is what we call counterattack, a counterattack!"

Old Master Xia’s miserable screams and the excited voices of the other old people echoed loud and clear, heard by the little old lady preparing tea and snacks inside, as well as Xia Yue who was secretly eavesdropping from outside courtyard.

About fifteen minutes later, they finally stopped. Hearing the silence, Mrs. Xia came out with tea and snacks.

The moment she stepped out, she saw her husband, Old Master Xia, sitting on the ground, a disheveled mess. The clothes and hair of the other seniors were a bit messy too, but much better than Old Master Xia’s.

They were seated on the chairs of a pavilion.

"My love, they all bullied me," Old Master Xia, seeing his wife, pointed at the people seated and complained in a aggrieved tone.

Mrs. Xia placed the tea and snacks on the table and said, "The tea is ready; help yourselves while I take him inside to change clothes."

Saying so, she squatted beside Old Master Xia, dusted his clothes, and helped him up.

"Alright, let me take you inside to change your clothes," Mrs. Xia said in a soft and comforting voice.
