229 I want to grow up quickly
"So at this time, you thought of Erya and wanted her to pay off your gambling debts?" Before Old Man Xiao didn't explain, Xia Quan's face was better, and after explaining, Xia Quan was so angry that he couldn't wait to slap Old Man Xiao twice. What is this called? are all separated, and they are still thinking of asking for money from a girl's family. It's not embarrassing to say it.
Old Man Xiao also knew that this matter was not authentic for them. At the beginning, he also refused, but he couldn't bear the crying of the old woman and his daughter. Eventually, it did.
"Isn't there no way? Village Chief Xia, don't worry, when we have money, we will definitely return it to Xia Yatou. ”
"One thousand taels of silver, you said it yourself, your family doesn't even have a hundred taels of silver for such a year. One thousand taels, what age can you pay it off? What's more, you still have such a loser in your family. If I'm not mistaken, this isn't the first time Jiro has incurred gambling debts. Brother Xiao, the child is not sensible, no matter how old he is, he still has to take care of it. You can't just do it every time. ”
"Yes, yes, yes. You're right. When this is over, I will teach him a good lesson. ”
Old Man Xiao is not too young, and he was counted down by Xia Quan. The face is already very dull. Xia Quan didn't want to say anything more. Turned his head to look at Xiao Erlang, who was hanging, and sighed
"Forget it, I won't say more, it's your family matter after all. It's up to you to decide what to do. But..."Xia Quan's eyes narrowed slightly, "This money, I am in charge of Erya." Do not borrow. ”
"What?" Xiao Erlang shouted, "Why are you in charge of her." We're not lending you money. ”
"You..."Xia Quan has always been respected in the village all these years. Even when I was young, I was never counted down by a junior, but now that I am old, I was actually told by a hairy boy, and my face was instantly pulled down. "Xiao Erlang, this is Xialiang Village, not your Xiaojia Village. I can't help you go wild here. Also, I can't do anything about Erya. Xia Quan looked back at Xia Chan, Xia Chan hurriedly nodded at Xia Quan, and echoed, "It's all up to the village chief's grandfather to decide." ”
Xiao Erlang didn't expect things to turn out like this, and looked at Old Man Xiao with a dissatisfied face, "Dad." You have something to say. Otherwise, the little sister will really be sold into the Qinglou. She's your own daughter, can you bear it? ”
"You shut up for me, it's all you, an unfilial son. If it weren't for you, would our family have suffered such a big disaster, would your sister have been yelled at and sold into the Qinglou? Old Man Xiao angrily took off the shoes on his feet and hit Xiao Erlang. Seeing this, Liu stepped forward and grabbed Old Man Xiao.
"What are you doing, is it useful for you to beat him up now? Let's think about how to raise money. Could it be that you really want Xiaoyu to go to that kind of place? Whining. You old immortal, I have followed you for so many years, and I have never enjoyed a single day of happiness. I'm old, I'm still scared every day. Didn't you raise a good son? If you don't want to ask Xia Erya, then you go to him. I don't care, anyway, if anyone wants to take away my Xiaoyu, I'll fight with him. ”
"Oh, you old woman." Old Man Xiao sighed helplessly, "Da Lang, that kid is also stubborn. Once a decision has been made, it will not change lightly. "He's going now, and he's just going to close the door.
For Xiao Dalang's temperament. Liu also knows. So after Old Man Xiao finished speaking, his face changed and changed. A hint of panic slowly appeared in his eyes
"Then what should we do, is it possible that we will watch Xiaoyu being sold to that kind of place."
Old Man Xiao didn't answer Liu's words, and looked up at Xia Chan. Seeing this, Xia Chan quickly moved her gaze to other places. Joke, the Xiao family's trip to the muddy water, if you don't get it, it's better not to get it. What's more, with her understanding of Xiao Dalang. At the end of the day, he won't sit idly by.
Old Man Xiao looked at Xia Chan and turned his face away. A flash of disappointment flashed across his face. After half a ring. He lowered his head and patted Liu's shoulder. Said slowly and expressionlessly
"Let's go back, while there is still some time, let's talk to Xiaoyu more. If you say goodbye tomorrow, it will be difficult to meet again. Old Man Xiao turned around. Let go of Liu's shoulders and walk to the gate by himself. The depressed back looks lonely. Xia Chan's heart flashed with a touch of unbearability. opened his mouth, but finally gave up the decision to export.
The journey of life is destined to be lonely, and they cannot think of asking others to help them every time they encounter difficulties. Otherwise, after they leave, how will they face those unpredictable dangers and difficulties?
After Old Man Xiao left, Xiao Sanlang and his wife helped Liu to leave. Xiao Erlang saw that he couldn't get any benefits. The last one left angrily.
After the people from the Xiao family's old mansion left. Everyone saw that there was no excitement, and left the Xia family in twos and threes. Xia Quan was the last to leave, and before leaving, he didn't say anything. just patted Xia Chan's shoulder. Xia Chan understood the meaning in Xia Quan's eyes, but she didn't need such sympathy, she was never willing to regret and complain about today's everything. There is no turning back in life. If you choose, you choose. As for what the road ahead is. She chose to go with the flow.
After everyone left, the Xia family finally regained its peace. Dabao and Forestry ran out of the house. One left and one right tightly grasped Xia Chan's hand, and Xia Chan was puzzled when he saw this
"What's wrong?" Wasn't it okay just now?
Dabao tugged at Xia Chan's sleeve and pursed his lips, "Second sister, when will I grow up." ”
Forestry followed up and said, "Yes, Sister Erya, when will we grow up." ”
Xia Cicada squatted down and glanced at Dabao, and then glanced at Forestry. Funny asked, "What's so good about growing up?" Why do you keep thinking about growing up quickly? ”
Dabao turned his head to look at Forestry and looked at Xia Chan, "Second sister, my brother-in-law's family is really annoying, why do they always come to our house to bully the second sister." Dabao wants to grow up quickly and protect the eldest sister and second sister. ”
"Me too, I also want to grow up quickly and protect my mother, Mumu, Sister Erya, and Eldest Sister."
When Xia Chan heard this, he was instantly stunned. She didn't expect that they wanted to grow up quickly so that they could protect him. My heart was instantly filled with emotion. Reaching out and holding the two of them in his arms, he whispered
"The second sister doesn't need your protection, the second sister is very strong and can protect herself. You are still young, your task now is to grow up happily, and leave the rest to the second sister. ”
"But, second sister...."The corners of Dabao's eyebrows furrowed and he wanted to say something, but Xia Chan interrupted, "Okay, it's not early, let's have lunch and rush to the county seat." Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. ”
Seeing this, Forestry and Dabao pouted and turned their heads to go to the well. However, the two tacitly agreed in their hearts. In the future, I must be the most powerful person to protect the eldest sister and the second sister. (To be continued.) )
