"This ...... Miss Xia, I don't think I know you, right? What the hell are you looking for me? Zhang Cuihua looked at Xia Yao's beautiful face carefully, shook her head and said with doubts, "Your appearance as a young and beautiful little girl must be fresh in people's memories, if I am familiar with it, I will not feel unfamiliar." ”

Xia Yao sat on the simple sofa, casually glanced at the four-walled house, and replied to Zhang Cuihua with a smile, "Auntie, it's like this, it's normal that you don't know me, because I have never met you." However, my father used to be a good friend of Uncle Xiao Wannian. ”

As soon as he heard the name Xiao Wannian, Xiao Qiang's face suddenly became solemn. That's right, Xiao Wannian is his father, for more than two years, whenever someone mentions his father's name, it is either ridicule and insult, or debt collection and money, so he will instinctively be nervous when he hears it!

Not only Xiao Qiang, but Zhang Cuihua's face was also obviously pale, her eyes showed worry and fear, and she grabbed Xia Yao's small hand and said excitedly, "Xia ...... Miss Xia, do you mean ...... Me, the one whose house is gone...... Do you owe money to your family? How much can you tell me, I, as long as I have it, I will definitely ......pay it back."

"No, no, no, Auntie, you misunderstood, my uncle didn't owe my father money, on the contrary, my father still owes my uncle a favor." Xia Yao saw that Zhang Cuihua had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained, "I heard my father say that he worked in the same agricultural machinery factory as Uncle Xiao back then. Uncle Xiao worked hard and had good skills, and soon became the captain of the management workshop. The two of them have a good relationship in private, and they are very close to each other, so they have become good brothers. ”

Hearing Xia Yao say this, Zhang Cuihua's eyes widened, and she seemed to remember something and said in surprise, "Your surname is Xia...... Then, then you can't be talking about Xia Guohang's brother, right? ”

"Mom? Do you know her father? Xiao Qiang was very surprised when he heard his mother call out Xia Yao's father's name, it seems that what Xia Yao said should not be false.

"yes, yes. That was when your father was the captain of the workshop of the rural agricultural machinery factory, and he had a very strong relationship with Xia Guohang and were very good brothers. Zhang Cuihua seemed to remember the dusty memory that had been sealed for a long time, and after glancing at Xia Yao, she sighed, "Time flies so fast...... More than 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye......"

"My dad said that he made a big mistake back then, causing huge losses to the workshop, and if he is held accountable, he will go to prison, and I am afraid that his life will be ruined. My dad left the country because of guilt and self-blame......" Xia Yao said this, and glanced at Secretary Liu.

Of course, Secretary Liu understood, and without saying a word, he took out three stacks of thick hundred-yuan bills from his satchel and put them on the coffee table. At this time, Xia Yao ignored Zhang Cuihua's shocked gaze and continued to speak, "My father has been working hard outside for many years, but he has never forgotten Uncle Xiao's great kindness, and this money can be regarded as a little compensation for Uncle Xiao. ”

Listening to Xia Yao's words, Xiao Qiang slowly understood. Although his father Xiao Wannian was transferred to work in the jade factory since he was sensible, his father had said before that he did work in the rural agricultural machinery factory for a period of time, and he really didn't expect that there would be such an inside story and story here.

"How can this work! Miss Xia, we have received your father's wishes, but we can't ask for this money. Lao Xiao was willing to take the blame for your father back then, and your father didn't have to blame himself at all. Your father left the country without saying goodbye, Lao Xiao kept talking about it before his death, and even looked for him, but the communication was too backward back then, so he didn't find it. Zhang Cuihua waved her hand and shook her head, refusing to accept the money.

Xia Yao saw that Zhang Cuihua refused to accept the money, and couldn't help but hurriedly say, "Auntie, you can take this money, you see that your life is so hard, Uncle Xiao went early again, now is the time of lack of money, our family can't help much, if you are too little, I can give some more." ”

When Xiao Qiang heard Xia Yao's words, why did he always feel that it was getting more and more wrong? If Xia Guohang was really so grateful to his father Xiao Wannian, then why didn't he come to the door in person, but just let his daughter come? Also, what does it mean to give more if you are too little? How can this not sound like a word of retribution, but like a business to negotiate terms?

"I really don't need Miss Xia, after so many years, there is no need to delve into things anymore, although our family has indeed had a hard time, but at least I have a clear conscience, if I take this money, my heart is not steady." Zhang Cuihua still shook her head and refused to accept the money, Xiao Qiang knew her mother's temper very well, she would not ask for it if it was not regular money, not to mention that as soon as her father's incident came out, she was undoubtedly more cautious about money.

Xia Yao didn't continue to plead when she saw that Zhang Cuihua didn't accept it, and after she hesitated for a while, her pretty face flushed slightly and said, "Auntie, I came this time, in addition to thanking you on behalf of my father, there is another thing...... Please make it clear between the two of you to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings in the future. ”

"Miss Xia, you say, I'll listen." Seeing that Xia Yao still had the following, Zhang Cuihua nodded and listened after a while.

Xia Yao opened her mouth, but it seemed that she was really a little unspeakable, and her beautiful eyes swept towards Secretary Liu next to her. Secretary Liu nodded wisely and said, "Ms. Zhang, that's the case, my boss Mr. Xia has one thing in his heart. Back then, Mr. Xia and Mr. Xiao once had a marriage for the fingertips, I don't know if Ms. Zhang still remembers? ”

"Finger for marriage?" Zhang Cuihua frowned slightly and fell into deep thought, but soon she seemed to remember something and said in surprise, "Do you mean...... Two doll pro? ”

"Yes, Mr. Xia has been keeping this matter in mind all these years, and always said that he would fulfill the baby kiss he had promised that year. But Ms. Zhang, you also know that the times are changing, Mr. Xia has soared, and Mr. Xiao has unfortunately passed away, finger marriage is a custom in the old era, and it has long been banned as illegal, do you see if this marriage contract can ......"

Secretary Liu didn't continue to say this, in fact, he had already expressed all the meanings he wanted to express, and no one couldn't understand the meaning of his words. Zhang Cuihua looked at her son Xiao Qiang in surprise, and her expression was quite complicated.

Xiao Qiang was actually very surprised, because his parents hadn't mentioned it to him at all! He didn't have any impression of what a doll was kissing. It turned out that this had been making trouble for a long time, and this Xia Yao was not here to be grateful at all, she was not a drunkard, she was here to cancel the marriage!

"Aunt Zhang, in fact, when my father and I went back to Yong'an County, we didn't expect Uncle Xiao's family to become like this, and we couldn't help much......" Xia Yao saw that Zhang Cuihua was silent, and thought that she didn't agree to dissolve the marriage contract, so she couldn't help but hurriedly said, "That's it...... I'll add you another 30,000, you see...... Can the marriage contract be ......?"

"Xia Yao, you treat our family as a food, don't you?" At this time, Xiao Qiang finally couldn't help but stand up and sneered, "Yes, our family is short of money, but it hasn't reached the point where we eat that kind of food!" Before, I saw that you were a pampered eldest lady, and I would tolerate your arrogant temper, but I would never allow you to insult my parents with money! ”

Seeing that Xiao Qiang was angry, Xia Yao seemed to be a little embarrassed and explained, "You misunderstood what I meant, I just want to have my own love in the future, and I can only do what I can for what happens to your family, I ......"

"Don't be pretending here, after all, don't you just want to hide from your father to come to the door to break the marriage? I sue you, it doesn't matter to me whether your family has money or not, and I'm not interested in your marriage contract with me! Xiao Qiang stretched out his hand and pointed to the door, "Take your money and leave immediately, you are not welcome in our family!" Also, remember, it's not your turn to break the marriage contract, it's our Xiao family who will withdraw from the marriage first! ”

"You...... What do you mean by that? Divorce? I ......, "Where has Xia Yao been so angry, and if she is dissatisfied, she will open her mouth to find Xiao Qiang's theory."

"Miss, isn't that what you want? There is no difference between dissolving the marriage contract and withdrawing from the marriage, what are you arguing about, wouldn't it be more troublesome if people regret it, so it's decided to leave quickly! Secretary Liu hurriedly whispered in a low voice, which made Xia Yao stunned. The dissatisfaction on her pretty face gradually disappeared, she glared at Xiao Qiang fiercely, turned her head and got up with Secretary Liu to say goodbye.

After the figures of the two disappeared, Xiao Qiang patted his mother's shoulder, and said with a firm gaze, "Mom, don't worry, when your son gets ahead, he will definitely find you a beautiful daughter-in-law, what kind of doll kiss, don't do it!" ”

Zhang Cuihua nodded lightly, but she could see the deep shame and guilt in her eyes. Maybe in her opinion, if it weren't for such a big change in the family, maybe the beautiful and beautiful Xia Yao would really be her daughter-in-law, right?
