"Brother, hey, brother, I can't go by myself." A somewhat ruffian voice sounded in the courtyard, followed by the solemn voice of the iron pillar.

"Be honest with me."

Xingni looked at Zhao Liang, whose hands were trapped and scarred, and persuaded in a low voice: "Brother Liangzi, it's Jiang Quinoa, no, it's the eldest lady who saved you." You keep quiet, don't be too rude, and thank the eldest lady later. ”

Zhao Liang spit out a mouthful of blood, and when he looked up, he saw Jiang Tiezhu staring at him with a serious face, and hurriedly stammered with a smile on his face: "Hey, Brother Zhuzi, my own brother, you see that I have entered the hospital, and you have loosened my bonds." I don't run, I have to thank the eldest lady for saving her life. ”

"Be honest, wait at the door." Jiang Tiezhu stopped people at the door, and when he saw that the lotus flowers in the courtyard happened to pass by, he hurriedly shouted: "Sister Lotus, please see if Miss is out of school." ”

Lotus glanced at Zhao Liang, who was standing crookedly on the threshold at the door, and went to the study in response. After a while, she came back and said to Jiang Tiezhu: "Mr. is teaching a new class today, and Miss has to be half an hour late in elementary school, so you can wait." ”

Jiang Tiezhu also knew his young lady's enthusiasm for learning, so he went to the yard to get rattan, sat on the threshold and began to weave baskets, baskets, baskets and other things to be used at home. Zhao Liang was grinding the side, but he just didn't let go, and in the end he had no choice but to tie his hands and sit at the door to catch mosquitoes under the hot sun.

Xingni has also been used to doing work since she was a child, and she is bored waiting at this time, and she is grateful, so she helps to make rattan sticks on the side, and she thinks that it is good to do her part.

"What Mr. just said is really good, such a profound truth can be solved so easily and understandably, Mr. is really knowledgeable. I usually only think that it should be like this, but I can't say it, but you see that the ancients can say what we only vaguely feel in just three or two sentences, and the ancient sages are really wise. Jiang Chun has been amazed since the end of class.

"Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Text", "Hundred Family Names" these introductory books have been learned, and now Liao Xiucai began to explain the "Analects" to Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Chun.

"Miss, Zhao Liang brought it." Jiang Tiezhu had already stopped what he was doing when he heard Jiang Chun's voice and got up.

Jiang Quinoa followed the prestige, and saw that Zhao Liang beside Jiang Tiezhu was tall and thin, and his face was also pale, a little malnourished and probably excessive blood loss. The whole person is very spiritless, and he unconsciously brings some flattery, as if he is used to pleasing people.

Xingni looked at Jiang Chun with some envy from the beginning, she used to run around the mountains with her, picking pine cones and pine hairs in autumn and winter, digging bamboo shoots in the spring, and picking lotus seeds to sell for money in the summer, but now she is living a young lady-like life, and she is not only still living such a hopeless life, but also begging people everywhere to save Brother Liangzi, thinking of this, Xingni sobbed in a sad low voice.

Jiang Quinoa kept looking at Zhao Liang, she didn't speak, and others didn't dare to speak casually, although Xingni's sobbing voice was small, but everyone heard it clearly at this time.

Jiang Chun has been playing with Xingni since she was a child, she has always disliked Zhao Liang, thinking that he is dragging Xingni down, and Xingni will not be happy with him, because she has always had a great opinion of him, and now she can't wait to beat him, and she glared at him angrily from just seeing Zhao Liang.

Zhao Liang was also stunned by Xingni's sudden crying, and couldn't understand why Xingni cried as soon as she saw Jiang Quinoa and them. He thought that he owed a lot of money this time, could it be because Xingni came to borrow money and was made difficult by Jiang Quinoa and them, so he cried sadly? So when they looked at Jiang Quinoa, their eyes became a little unkind.

"Xingni, you say, did they bully you?" Zhao Liang asked.

Jiang Chun was furious when he heard this, "Zhao Liang, you speak with your conscience, who bullied Xingni?" If you are still so foolish, it is better to completely cut off contact with Xingni, and don't delay her for the rest of your life. She's only fourteen years old, you see, over the years, when she hasn't stopped all year round, all the money she earns has been filled in to you, and she can't even afford to buy herself a flower. It would be nice if there was hope, but you are a well of dissatisfaction! You are a big man who asks a little girl to feed you, are you ashamed? ”

"Xingni, isn't that so? Yes, it's because of me that you cry? Zhao Liang asked with a trembling voice, at this moment his face no longer had the hippie smile and ruffian spirit just now.

Xingni was asked by them, and suddenly she was no longer depressed, she cried loudly, pulled Zhao Liang's sleeve and cried: "Brother Liangzi, let's start from now on, let's stop gambling money, okay." You and I are down-to-earth, let's earn money together and pay it back to the eldest lady, okay? I'm not afraid of eating bran and eating bran and the four walls of my family, as long as you are good and we are down-to-earth and make money, I am willing to follow you. ”

Jiang Tiezhu looked at Xingni with some surprise, he didn't expect this usually low-spoken clan sister to have such courage, and at the same time felt that Xingni was too bold, what she said just now was too explicit, which could a girl's family say.

Jiang Chun was aroused in tears, "Zhao Liang, Xingni has sacrificed for you like this, are you still unwilling to change?" Isn't it just a life, how many times have Xingni saved you over the years, even if there is a life-saving kindness, it should have been paid off a long time ago. ”

Jiang Quinoa looked up in surprise, she only knew that Xingni and Zhao Liang from the next village were close, and it was said that they had also reached the step of talking about marriage, but then not only did it not happen, but listening to Jiang Chun's meaning was also mixed with life-saving grace, it seems that there is still a story.

Zhao Liang suffered a crime this time, and he was already a little afraid in his heart, but at this time, he was crying like this by Xingni, and he was suddenly a little flustered, squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, and pulling his hair fiercely while crying: "I also know that I am not a thing, I have failed Xingni, I am a bastard, I am not a thing." But I don't know anything but gamble. ”

"I have lost the house that my grandfather left me, and the land has been sold, and I still owe the village three taels of silver. Coupled with the ten taels of silver this time, I won't be able to pay it off for the rest of my life if I don't gamble. Zhao Liang understood in his heart, and after counting them one by one, it suddenly made people even more desperate.

Jiang Chunliu raised his eyebrows and almost jumped up, "Zhao Liang, you bastard, you have fallen to this step, you still want to gamble." I'm going to beat you to death today, and I'm relieved to kill you. ”

Seeing that Jiang Chun had copied Jiang Tiezhu's machete on the ground and was about to rush over, Jiang Qu hurriedly grabbed her.

"Don't be impulsive, Zhao Liang is telling the truth." Jiang Qu persuaded, "I have a way to do this." ”
