Chapter 231: There is a ghost in my heart
"Yo...... Little niece, your heart is really big, I heard that your restaurant has been burned to the ground, how can you still have the heart to eat here. ”
Song Xiaoqiao thought that even if she couldn't hide this matter for a long time, at least it would be fine for two or three days, but what she never expected was that at the time of breakfast, Song Ming, who had not appeared for a long time, broke the matter.
The room fell silent instantly, and both her mother and brother looked at her in horror.
"Xiao Qiao, what will your uncle say again, what is burning?"
If she heard it correctly just now, Song Ming said that Song Xiaoqiao's restaurant was burned by fire, when did this happen, and why didn't she hear any news.
"Sister-in-law, you don't know yet, a fire last night not only burned my little niece's restaurant to the ground, but also affected several shops next door, so I guess I spent a lot of money." Song Ming finished speaking gloatingly, and then continued: "Mother, I look at the big house and we can't live in it, clean up, let's go home." ”
"Home? Didn't you sell my wife's house a long time ago? ”
Regardless of whether what Song Ming said was true or not, when she heard the word home, she couldn't help but tremble, it was something left to them by Song Ming's father, as early as more than a month ago, she was sold by Song Ming to pay off gambling debts, where does she still have a home.
"Mother, I've been lucky lately, I've won a lot, I've already redeemed the house, we'll leave today, so as not to be kicked out by those merchants tomorrow."
After Song Ming finished speaking, he was about to leave after leaving a meaningful look, but as soon as he took a step on his feet, Song Xiaoqiao suddenly grabbed his wrist.
"Wait." She took a few steps forward, walked in front of Song Ming and said: "The restaurant is on fire, I have never told anyone that it was burned by someone, how do you know that my restaurant is not on fire, but by someone?" ”
There were only a few merchants there that night, and Song Ming was not there at all, why did he know so clearly.
"I ...... I've heard from people, I don't believe you can go out and see if what I'm saying is true. ”
Song Ming retracted his arm unconsciously, but his action made Song Xiaoqiao see hope in an instant, and at the same time, there was also a trace of inexplicable sadness in his heart.
Song Ming is also her uncle, he actually partnered with outsiders and wanted her to die.
"Really? My restaurant has just been set on fire, and you have the money to redeem it, as if you knew it beforehand. ”
Song Ming didn't win money in the morning, and she didn't win money in the evening, but after her restaurant was burned, she immediately got rich, which made her have to suspect that Song Ming was also among them.
"What do you mean, do you mean that I set the fire?"
Song Ming deliberately aggravated his tone, and even did not hesitate to use a vicious look, he wanted Song Xiaoqiao to retreat, but he didn't expect that Song Xiaoqiao not only did not retreat, but also intensified.
"You said this yourself, and it's not me, what are you nervous about."
Only people who have ghosts in their hearts will be nervous, if Song Ming really has nothing to do with this matter, what is he so nervous about, there must be something greasy in it.
Could it be that this time she was really wrong, suspecting the wrong object, not Xiao Wang, but Song Ming?
"You ......"
Song Ming blew his beard angrily and glared, but he couldn't find anything to refute, so he pushed Song Xiaoqiao away and left the house angrily.
"Xiao Qiao, what your uncle just said, but it's all true? Is your restaurant really burning? ”
Zhang still can't believe his ears, yesterday's restaurant was good, how to say that there is no more, it is Xiao Qiao's hard work little by little.
"Hmm." The plan is not as fast as the change, she wanted to hide this matter for a day, but she didn't expect Song Ming, the guy who was not enough to succeed and more than to lose, would poke it out for her now, if she had her own mouth, maybe it would not be so embarrassing, thinking of this, she continued: "Mother, don't worry, I will deal with it." ”
As soon as Qi Mu's money arrived, she would negotiate with the other damaged shop owners and rebuild the shop, but it would take time.
"I'm full, you eat slowly, I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to my room to rest first."
Although Zhang couldn't see any expression on her face at the moment, her heart was dripping blood, and she was angry, hateful and distressed.
Qi Song's daughter hid such a big thing from her, hated those bad guys behind her back, and felt even more sorry for her daughter.
"Sister, you really provoked your mother this time, I'll clean it up here, you go and talk to your mother."
After so many years, his mother has never been like this, in the past, when the two sisters and brothers did wrong, their mother would say something, so silent, it was the first time he saw it.
It is conceivable that this time the mother is not light.
"Okay, then I'll go to my mother's place now."
She also knew that her mother was really angry this time, but she didn't say it, she was worried that her mother would worry about her, but she didn't expect it to be self-defeating, and she knew that as soon as she came back, she should have told them everything, and it wouldn't have been in this situation.
"Mother......
The mother, sitting in a chair with her back to her, heard her open the door and hurriedly wiped her cheek with the back of her hand.
"Mother, I know it's wrong."
Although she didn't see her mother's face, she also knew that her mother was crying.
Mother is so old, she cried for her, she is really an unfilial girl, thinking of this, her eyes can't help but ripple.
"It's my mother who is useless, it's my mother who hasn't been able to protect you and Haoran well."
A daughter has died, which is a gift from God, but she still failed to take good care of her, fortunately she was not in the store at the time, otherwise she would have died, and she would not have felt at ease.
"Mother, what are you talking about, you are already very good to me and Haoran, it is a daughter who is not filial, and you shouldn't hide this matter from your mother."
She lowered her head, like a big child who had made a mistake, knelt in front of her mother, lying on her mother's knees, enjoying the warmth given by her mother.
"Xiao Qiao, my mother knows, if you don't tell your mother and younger brother, you are afraid that we will worry, your mother doesn't blame you, your mother only blames yourself for being too small."
She didn't understand the reason why Song Xiaoqiao didn't tell them, she just couldn't get angry with her own incompetence, so she would let Song Xiaoqiao fall into danger again and again.
The restaurant burned, what she felt sorry for was not the money, it was the big deal that they were going back to the thatched house, what she felt sorry for was Song Xiaoqiao's hard work.
Others may not know, but she knows very well how much effort Xiao Qiao has made for everything today.
I went out after dark, and it was the afternoon of the second day, and my hands were full of knife marks and blisters, not to mention, and I had to face the adjacent slander to have everything I have today.
But all of this disappeared in the blink of an eye, can she not feel sorry for Xiao Qiao.
"Mother, don't worry, Qi Mu has promised to lend me five thousand taels of silver, and with this money, we can make a comeback."
As long as Qi Mu's five thousand taels arrive, she is not worried about turning over at all, on the contrary, she is more worried about her mother's heart and Song Haoran's illness.
"Qi Mu is really willing to lend you that much?"
Five thousand taels, that's an astronomical amount, she can't even think about it, even if Xiao Qiao and her father are alive, she hasn't seen as many as five thousand taels at one time, Qi Mu will really be so kind to lend them them?
Isn't Qi Mu worried, they borrowed so much, and they couldn't pay it back?
