Chapter 26: Persecution
Xia Xiucai got out, he rolled back to his house in the front yard. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info Xia Zhi didn't speak, and followed behind Xia Xiucai. Xiao Shu'er looked at Daqing with a blank eye, although he was very reluctant, he still chose to follow the summer solstice.
Tian was sitting in the hall and choosing leeks. This season is the time to eat the first stubble of tender leeks. Returning from his mother's house, Tian was very happy. And tomorrow Xia Xiucai will return to Fucheng, Tian plans to use the only few catties of white noodles at home to make a meal of leek stuffed dumplings.
There is no meat, but the leeks are finely chopped and a little shrimp skin is added, which is also delicious as a dumpling filling.
Hearing the sound of the curtain at the back door, Tian knew that it was Xia Xiucai who came back when she heard the footsteps, and she raised her head with a smile: "I'm back!" His eyes fell on Xia Xiucai's face, although Xia Xiucai was smiling, Tian immediately knew that something was wrong.
The smile on Tian's face suddenly froze, and she asked Xia Xiucai, "What's wrong?" ”
Xia Xiucai sighed and sat down on the small bench beside Tian.
"Did he say something?!" Tian's face became gloomy, and the wine and food in his hand were also put down.
Xia Zhi entered the house lightly and put away the leeks that Tian had not finished choosing. Then, she also took a small bench, sat not far from Tian and Xia Xiucai, and began to quietly choose leeks.
Xiao Shu'er followed her sister into the door, and he didn't talk to his father, so he squatted next to his sister and pretended to help her choose leeks.
Tian's eyes were full of old man Xia and what he said to Xia Xiucai to make Xia Xiucai so annoyed, so he ignored the sister and brother. Xia Xiucai sighed twice, knowing that he couldn't hide it from the Tian family, so he told the Tian family what the old man Xia said.
"His father too, how can we sell houses and land, sell our sons and daughters!" Xia Xiucai said.
Tian was immediately furious.
She got angry with Xia Xiucai first, thinking that Xia Xiucai couldn't hide what she was talking about, so she told her father about paying money for her nephew to marry a daughter-in-law in the backyard. "I'll tell you, don't mention this to the backyard. Why can't you hold back for a while, have you said everything? Do you think our family's life is too worry-free! Either you don't want to pay for it, tell your dad so that your dad can stop him! You hit this idea, why didn't you say it at the time. Be a good person on both sides, Xia Yunhai, you use me and the people of our Lao Tian family as monkeys! ”
Xia Xiucai hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that it was not what he said. But it was always difficult for him to confess his youngest son, even though he was the only suspect. was scolded by the Tian family, and Xia Xiucai only weakly defended in the end, "...... I don't know how the old man knows, it's really not what I said. ”
"It's not what you said, who else is it." As he spoke, Tian glanced at Natsuki.
Natsuki turned his back to Tian and was choosing leeks with Xia Solstice. That little back looks how well-behaved and well-behaved it is.
Tian was thoughtful and angry, but she didn't care about settling accounts with Natsuki at the moment.
"The old man thinks of me as someone, he feels distressed when I spend a penny, and always suspects that I will move my belongings back to my parents' house. Don't look at how many belongings you have, a poor talent! I'm afraid that I'll sell my house and land, my sons and daughters, it's not all because you can't do it! ”
Xia Xiucai didn't dare to speak, so she could only laugh.
Tian didn't continue to scold. It turned out that she knew very well in her heart that Old Man Xia had said that he was going to drive Xia Xiucai away from home, and she really couldn't touch the ancestral property and the summer solstice at home.
If Xia Xiucai leaves the house, his Xiucai's reputation will be removed immediately, and the errand of the academy will not be saved. The family will also be spurned by the people around them, and they will not be able to gain a foothold at all, let alone save money for her mother's family.
Angry for a while, although Tian's face was still gloomy, his tone was much calmer when he spoke again. She discussed with Xia Xiucai how to save the two hundred taels for Dabao's daughter-in-law.
"I'll go to the mountain chief and talk about it, and I can probably pay a salary for a year or two in advance."
"Even if it's two years, that's only forty-eight taels."
"I'll borrow the rest."
"The eldest sister's shop has been very prosperous in the past two years, and he can save money for both of them, at least he can borrow us a hundred taels." Tian said immediately.
Xia Xiucai paused, and did not say that Old Man Xia would not let him borrow money from his eldest sister.
"One hundred taels is difficult, we can't always open our mouths to the eldest sister, and the eldest sister has to live. I thought, find a few wealthy students to borrow some ......."
Tian raised his eyebrows: "It's your father who won't let you borrow money from your eldest sister." I knew it! If his own son doesn't hurt, he will love the eight poles that can't be hit. What do you mean by that? If there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. The eldest sister is living a rich life, borrowing her money, we don't want to pay it back! If your own family doesn't help, you can still count on outsiders! ”
Xia Xiucai frowned slightly: "Eldest sister, that's also a small business." ”
Tian smiled and squinted at Xia Xiucai: "Good brother, do you know that you feel sorry for your sister!" I'm an outsider as a daughter-in-law! ”
"I'll borrow money, you don't have to worry about it!" Xia Xiucai's voice was still gentle, but there was no smile on his face at all.
Tian didn't speak for a while, just looked at Xia Xiucai. Xia Xiucai didn't speak.
"How much money can you borrow?" Tian no longer mentioned the matter of the eldest sister, "Before the May Festival, we have to send a sum to his grandfather, and the matter of Dabao should be handled earlier." ”
Xia Xiucai calculated it very seriously. "Fifty taels, the salary will be advanced for a year, and I will borrow a few dozen taels from two students, so I should be in a hurry first." Then he sighed, "If it's the end of the year, I'll be able to be more relaxed." ”
"I can't wait until the end of the year." Tian thought about it, more than a month, fifty taels, after all, it was still too little. "If you want two hundred taels, you have to make up half of them first."
This is also the result of her private discussions with Old Man Tian and the Wang family in the backer. At that time, she thought that she really didn't have enough money, so she pawned her own field first.
The pawned fields can be redeemed when they have money. But Xia Xiucai relayed Old Man Xia's words and cut off this road. Tian knew that in the eyes of Old Man Xia, pawning and selling and pawning the field was no different from selling.
This stubborn, nosy old man! Tian secretly hated in his heart, but this time he really didn't dare to attack the idea of his own field.
"One hundred taels, it's too difficult." Xia Xiucai didn't know what Tian was thinking, he thought about it for a while, but he still sighed and said.
Tian was ruthless, for the sake of her nephew, she had to force Xia Xiucai. "There's really no way, only I have to work for people!" Xia Xiucai would never bear to let her work. When she said this, she still wanted to force Xia Xiucai to go to her eldest sister's house to borrow money.
One hundred taels, the eldest sister's family can definitely take it. Don't borrow for nothing. When the eldest sister came to the Xia family, the Xia family supported the eldest child, and she also gave a dowry and married out in a beautiful manner. The eldest sister is doing well, and the old man and the old lady in the backyard never ask the eldest sister for money.
They borrowed money from their eldest sister, and they still have to pay it back later. Even if the eldest sister's family can't come up with the money, the eldest sister can borrow it from others. The eldest sister always knows more rich people than them! Why not borrow!
