Chapter 409: Letter for Help
The red lanterns were hung high, and the subordinates of the family all gathered together to eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner rewarded by the main family, and even the new clothes for the New Year, the descendants of the Xia Ziqiu family were also three pieces per person.
"Mother, I'll come, don't be tired!" Xia Xuege said, snatching the kitchenware from Zhou Yuanchun's hand, Zhou Yuanchun's stomach was already obvious, this can't be missed, she still wants a little brother and sister, not one, it should be a group! More children and more blessings!
Zhou Yuanchun also didn't rob Xia Xuege, just laughed.
"Alas, this is the last Chinese New Year's Eve dinner you ate at home, and the mother wants to cook it for you personally, and the woman is not left."
Thinking about the days with Xia Xuege, this girl is also sensible, does not cause trouble to herself, and is good to her younger brother, which is really rare among this adopted daughter.
Xia Xuege smiled, not knowing what to say, Xiaobao didn't know when to come from outside to join in the fun, clamoring for Xia Xuege croquettes to eat.
"Sister, I want to eat meatballs!"
Big eyes blinked and looked at Xia Xuege, except for promising Xia Xuege what he could say, but the kitchen was full of smoke, Xia Xuege coughed a little, and quickly asked the maid to take Xiaobao out, so as not to choke the child.
After frying the meatballs, Xia Xuege stopped manipulating anything else, and let the old granddaughter-in-law send it over, although Xia Ziqiu is now a big family, but this New Year's Festival or something is still the same, and it only belongs to their family.
After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner vigil, Xia Xuege stretched out his already slender hand towards Xia Ziqiu.
"Dad, New Year's money!" Xia Xuege said with a smile, Xia Ziqiu was happy.
"Yo, the girl who is going to marry after this year, what's the matter, I still need silver!"
Xia Ziqiu said, and Zhou Yuanchun on the side glared at Xia Ziqiu.
"If you don't give it, I'll give it." Zhou Yuanchun turned his head to Xia Xuege and said, "Mother, give cash!" Mother give a hundred taels! Zhou Yuanchun smiled, went to get a box of silver, this full box, heavy, Xia Ziqiu was really afraid that Zhou Yuanchun would flash his waist, so he quickly took it, Xiaobao also came over, took out a silver ingot and knocked it to play.
Xiaobao knocked on it, and was happy at the same time, and Xia Ziqiu, who watched it, also smiled.
"Look, your brother is just like you, a little wealth fan!" Xia Ziqiu smiled, this New Year's money or something, that is, Xia Xuege opened his mouth to laugh, Xia Xuege's private silver......
Xia Ziqiu can have a hunch, there will definitely be no less, her daughter's family, it is a good thing to have private money, Xia Ziqiu does not support women who have nothing, it sounds good to say, it is for the sake of her husband's family, but Xia Ziqiu and Xia Xuege are both a point of view, which is called oppression of women.
New Year's Festival, said to be happy and happy, said to be tasteless and tasteless, vigil to the second half of the night, can't stay up, go to sleep, this confusion out of the first month, and a new month, as if God is rushing to join in the fun, everything is coming.
There is no one who is said to be close, but the matter of the old house has come over again. Looking at the letter, Xia Ziqiu sighed, and only sighed.
"Dad, I'll take a look," Xia Xuege said, and Xia Ziqiu gave Xia Xuege the letter in his hand.
"Don't tell your mother, she'll be worried." Xia Ziqiu said, Xia Xuege nodded.
The handwriting of the letter is very fair and familiar, Xia Xuege looked at it, it was the handwriting of Old Man Xia, and the content in it was very simple, just a few sentences:
"Ziqiu, I'm in trouble with your brother and eldest brother and nephews, and we need silver to redeem people, you come and save us, and you can metabolize more silver!"
Old Man Xia's letter was just a few words, Xia Xuege looked at it, and Xia Ziqiu shook his head.
"Dad, what do you want to do?" Xia Xuege asked, Xia Ziqiu looked at the ceiling.
"What can I do, no matter what!" Xia Ziqiu said, took a cup and drank two sips of water, and said:
"No accident, you are going to get married this year, you are a daughter, this is married to the Han family, or to marry, not to marry and marry, your reputation, Dad can't let him have the slightest stain." Xia Ziqiu said, Xia Xuege's heart was warm, Xia Ziqiu still loved her so much, and looking at the ceiling, Xia Ziqiu said again:
"And when I knew this letter before the Chinese New Year, my father said that it was completely self-inflicted, and he couldn't live, this asked for silver, that is, he bribed him in the past, and your fifth uncle's sin must be not small, even if he wants to save it, he must spend a lot of silver, not that his father feels sorry for the silver, and the silver is a bastard, and he will earn it after he spends it."
"But if I help him get rid of his crime and bribe those officials, my father will violate the law of the country, not only you in the family, but also your mother and brother, as well as your fourth uncle and them, many crimes are to sit together, punish the nine clans, and my father can't take this risk." Xia Ziqiu said seriously, and his eyes were full of helplessness.
"Your fifth uncle and them, they all did the killing, this is all retribution, I can't help others, God wants to clean him up!"
Xia Ziqiu said, Xia Xuege nodded, Lao Sun over there knew what Xia Ziqiu meant, and took some silver to find the person who delivered the letter, this person was dressed in tatters, like a beggar, but Lao Sun recognized that it was Xia Zidong's subordinate.
"This is ten taels of silver, you can take it, find a good place, do some small business or plant some land, live in peace and stability, don't do this thing of cheating money!"
Lao Sun said, without waiting for the next person to speak, and said:
"My lord's brother is indeed an official, but that has already been separated, the letter you sent said that the lord over there had an accident and asked for silver, this is impossible, and the law is clear, if it really violates the laws and regulations of the country, no one can save it, and it should not be saved, if it is not violated, naturally the eyes of the adults in the court are bright, you go, don't cheat the silver in this way."
Lao Sun said that he completely said that this letter was a trick by this person to cheat money, and the person who came looked at the ten taels of silver in his hand, thought about it, and nodded.
"Thank you, master, the villain knows that he is wrong, thank you for the way to live!"
The person who came said and left, if Shiro was there, he must have seen that this person was the one he beat on the day he got married.
Saying that, this subordinate took the silver and left, so he didn't think about the affairs of Xia Zidong's family anymore, found a place to sell two acres of land, worked hard, and lived a happy life after many years.
At this time, Xia Zidong and Old Man Xia were squatting in the prison, Xia Zichun and Shiro were also there, and Wulang was holding a small child in his arms, that is, he was just two years old, this is Xia Zidong and Murong Shiyu's child.
"Dad, can the third uncle really come to save us? How do I feel panicked, I always feel that the third uncle doesn't care about us. Shiro said, his eyes were dull, and Xia Zichun was the same, his eyes were empty. R1152
