Chapter 189: Greed
Back at home, Liu Feng put the big bag on the ground, turned around and walked out, Xia He hurriedly said: "Brother Liu Feng, you eat here before leaving." ”
"No, I'll go home and eat." With that, Liu Feng said hello to Xia Bo and left.
Xia had already cooked the meal, and when he saw Xia He coming back, he hurriedly greeted: "Xia He, why did you come back?" ”
"Ah, I bought a few more, no, I also bought a piece of sauce beef, and I'll cut it later."
While eating, Xia Shi looked at Xia He and said, "Why is that poor ghost Liu Feng still here?" Do you really have anything to do with him? Don't blame your mother-in-law for saying that you and he don't know. ”
Xia He heard her mother say this, and said angrily: "Mother, look at you, others say it's just that, you are still angry, you don't believe in others, don't you trust your daughter?" ”
Father Xia glared at Xia, and the chopsticks knocked on the table: "I can't stop your mouth when I eat!" ”
"Hey! What's wrong? I'm also for the girl, look at your dead ghost's energy! Knock on what knock, if you don't eat, get down, you gambler! In this life, I met you and counted me as the blood mold that I have poured for eight lifetimes! After speaking, Xia smashed his chopsticks, sat down in the kang and touched his tears.
Xia He hurriedly said: "Look at the two of you, there are still children here, what are you making trouble!" ”
He returned to his body and persuaded his mother: "Mother, don't cry, isn't my father also repentant?" I haven't been out for days. You're still crying, this is also the result of your connivance with your father's gambling in the past, you are happy when you win, and you fight when you lose! ”
"Hey, you girl with no conscience, this time you talked about me." Xia Shi glared and pushed Xia He.
"I won't eat it."
Xia Laohan dropped his chopsticks and went out on the ground.
Xia He hurriedly said: "Dad, come back quickly, the sauce beef hasn't moved, Xiaobao, you go and call your grandfather back." ”
Xiaobao grunted and went out.
The younger brother sat on the table, looked at the sauced beef in the bowl, and then looked at the mother who was crying on the kang, lowered his head and tugged on his sleeve without speaking.
"Mother, you see that my brother is not eating, hurry up and come over to eat." Xia He said.
Xia wiped away his tears, sat back at the table, picked up the chopsticks, pulled a mouthful of rice into his mouth, and tears fell from his eyes again.
"What can I do? My family is in high debt, there are a lot of gambling accounts, you and this Liu Feng are not clear, your brother still has to go to school, I don't have any seams in my heart this day! ”
Xia He thought to herself: "When did my mother start to be so attentive to me?" ”
Xiao Bao came back with his grandfather and sat down again.
Xia He, who ate this meal, was so heartbroken that he quickly ended his lunch.
After cleaning up, Xia He took out the school supplies he bought for his younger brother today, and looked at his younger brother's happy appearance, Xia He forgot all the unpleasantness just now.
"Are you happy, brother?"
The younger brother nodded vigorously, and looked at the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in his hand with a smile.
"I must study hard in the future, and I will go to the exam with Wan'er in the future."
Xia Shi looked at his son's happy appearance, and hurriedly said, "Thank you sister soon." ”
"Thank you, sister."
"It's all a family, thank you for what you say." Xia He said while cleaning up the greens he bought.
"That's not it, it's a family, you have money, and you still don't pay off your dad's gambling debts?" Xia said with a pout.
Xia He looked up at the cheap mother of the original owner, and really hated it in his heart, but for the sake of the original owner's face, Xia He still didn't get angry, stopped what he was doing, opened the iron box against the wall, took out a pile of silver from it and put it on the kang, and said softly: "Mother, do you see if it's enough to pay off your father's gambling debts?" ”
Xia He also thought about it, if she didn't pay off her father's gambling debts without this money, her mother would not give up.
When Xia Shi saw the silver, his eyes suddenly turned green, and he rubbed his hands and said, "Girl, do you want to open it?" Great! It's long overdue, take out the money, and your father will be saved! Otherwise, I don't know where to go! ”
"Mother, this silver is for my father to pay off his gambling debts, but I don't dare to spend it indiscriminately."
Xia He looked at the excited expressions of his mother and father, shook his head and asked helplessly.
"I know, girl, I'm still on this gambling debt, and I'll never go out to gamble again!" Uncle Xia stood up and swore a vow.
"You, you old lampstand, if you want to go out to gamble again, I will leave you with my son, so that you can't find our mother and son."
Xia He hurriedly said: "Mother, look at you, your father said that he would change it, so don't say it." ”
"Okay, I have to go with you to pay off the gambling debts of those people, I don't worry about you, what should I do if I take this silver to gamble again?"
Xia's words reminded Xia He.
Xia He thought for a while and said, "Dad, in this way, I have time to accompany you to pay off gambling debts, and my mother will help me take care of it at home." ”
"Gee, why don't you believe me so much? I can't gamble anymore, trust me! ”
Looking at his father's pious and sincere expression, Xia He nodded and said, "Okay, Dad, my daughter will trust you this time." ”
The younger brother looked at his sister in a panic, then looked at his mother, reached out and tugged at his mother's clothes, but did not speak after all.
Xia pulled back the placket, touched his son's head and said, "It's okay son, trust your father once." ”
After getting the silver, the father of the Xia family was a lot more energetic, patted the dust on his body and said: "Child, you stay here for a few days first, and I will go to repay the silver, and I will make a wish when I am done, so as not to let those people come to the door to make trouble." ”
Xia nodded: "Old man, you want to have a snack, don't gamble anymore, I beg you!" After saying that, Xia Shi shed tears again.
"Oops! You mother-in-law is so grinding and chirping, I'm leaving! ”
Xia He helped his father put the silver in a yellow cloth pocket, so Xia He sent his father out of the door, looking at his father who was gradually moving away, Xia He always felt that there was something wrong with this matter.
Shaking his head, Xia He returned to the house and saw his mother lying on the edge of the tin box, touching the silver inside, and whispering: "So much, I like it so much, my mother!" ”
"Mother, these are all for the construction of the factory, don't look at these, the factory will be in operation in two days, it's not enough."
Seeing Xia He enter the house, Xia Shi hurriedly covered the iron box, and said with a wry smile on his face: "Girl, my mother has never seen this silver in her life." ”
"Mother, I have ripped cloth for you and your brother in the town today to make clothes, wait for the new clothes."
That's a good feeling, but this dress is not worth a lot of money, why don't you give it to the old lady?
Xiaobao on the side heard her grandmother speak like this, and said loudly: "Grandma, this silver belongs to my mother, don't ask for it." ”
The younger brother also pulled his mother on the side: "Mother, don't say it." ”
Xia He said: "When my mother turned around, I gave my brother the money for the private school. ”
Xia snorted coldly: "If you have it, count me in vain." After speaking, Shangkang picked up an apple and ate it.
