"Well, the old lady wanted me to help pay off the debt, but I refused." Xi Tongfang sat down tiredly.

Ruan Shi hurriedly instructed Xia Cicada to serve the food, and personally twisted the wet wipes cloth, and the waiter wiped his hands and faces, and said angrily, "It's not ten taels or eight taels, that's eight thousand taels, so much silver, the old lady can also open this mouth, this is to force our family to a dead end." ”

Fortunately, the old man was a clear person, and he did not agree to the old lady's request for human life.

Ruan asked, "Then how does the old lady plan to repay this debt?" ”

"I gave her an idea and asked her to return it in a month and a half, at that time, the grain was harvested, and then let the tea farmers in the tea estate fry some more tea leaves to sell, how can we make enough money."

Xi Tongfang said and sat down.

Xia Chan led a few maids and brought in a few food boxes.

After putting the food on the table, she led a few maids and retreated.

Xi Feng took the chopsticks, sandwiched a chopstick, Xi Tongfang's favorite celery fried pork belly, and put it in his bowl, and said, "Daddy, I'm afraid there will be trouble in this matter, but Daddy's idea is good, so that the old lady's eyes will not be staring at our family's silver." ”

"Even if you star, your father and I won't help Dafang pay off his debts."

Xi Tongfang was satisfied with the pig's belly and ate the pig belly sandwiched by his baby daughter into his mouth.

Ruan Shi smiled, "You did the right thing, the big house and the second room have long been separated, since the family has been separated, then there is no reason for the big house to borrow money, and let the second room pay it back." ”

"A-Niang, when did those people in the big house reason with our family?" Xi Feng said.

The youngest Xi Yun also said crisply, "Daddy, Auntie, the child also thinks that the old lady is a little unreasonable, although she is an elder, we are the juniors, we have to respect her, but our master said, some old people like to rely on the old and sell the old to bully the younger generation, so that the younger generation has a bitterness and can't say, if we meet such an old man, we can't be foolish and filial, so that the world will not only not say that we are filial sons, but also laugh at us for being confused, stupid, and don't know how to be good." ”

"Well, that's what I'm talking about." Xi Feng secretly gave the little brother a thumbs up, and then said seriously to Xi Tongfang and Ruan, "Daddy, Auntie, we must stay away from the old lady in the future, don't be deceived by her, our small family can't stand being tossed by her, however, Daddy and Auntie are the daughter-in-law of the concubine, we should be filial, and we will not lose a point to her, so as not to be said by outsiders that Daddy and Auntie are not filial." ”

The three children all looked at him with blank eyes, Xi Tongfang suddenly felt distressed and guilty, and hurriedly sandwiched a piece of steamed meat powder that his younger son likes to eat and put it in his younger son's bowl, and said, "In the past, it was all because Daddy himself didn't stand up, and Daddy was confused, but Daddy won't be able to do it in the future, and Daddy will definitely raise your mothers and sons well, and you won't be short of your food and clothing." ”

"Well, Daddy, I believe you." Xiao Ah Yun's smiling face was sweet.

Xi Ming said, "Daddy, I also believe in you, in the future, our family will definitely live better than the big house." ”

Xi Feng and Ruan Shi also laughed.

After eating, the three children went back to their own courtyards, and Xi Tongfang took Ruan Shi and went to the room to talk.

Xi Tongfang said, "The shares and silver of the Chu family will be able to come back at the beginning of next month, we paid two thousand taels of silver at the beginning, and now that we are back, how can we triple it, six thousand taels of silver." ”
