"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Xia Yan looked worried, thinking that the Yan clan had encountered some problem.

"I ...... I ......" Yan wanted to speak and stopped, biting his lower lip tightly, with a hesitant face, as if he was thinking about whether to say it or not.

"Mother, why don't you speak?" Xia Yan suddenly had a bad premonition, if it wasn't for something that made her mother particularly embarrassed, she wouldn't have hesitated so much.

"I ......," Yan gritted his teeth, "Hey, forget it, I'll figure it out myself." ”

As soon as Yan said this, Xia Yan became more concerned: "Mother, I don't know you yet, if you can solve it yourself, you won't mention this matter to me." ”

"But ......" Yan lowered his head and sighed.

"Mother, is the old lady coming to ask you for money again?" Looking at Yan's embarrassed appearance, how could Xia Yan not guess the reason.

Yan Shi raised his head violently and looked at Xia Yan with a shocked expression: "Yan'er, you ...... How do you know? ”

"Guess, I can't think of anything else that makes you embarrassed and afraid to tell me." Xia Yan smiled, "That old lady is so natural, it is not surprising that she would do such a thing." ”

"Hey, Yan'er, you guessed right." Yan shook his head helplessly, "Your grandmother came to me a few days ago, saying that the money raised by the Wang family is far from the 500,000 yuan, and asked me if I can help again." ”

"Mother, didn't you tell her that what you took out before was all your savings?" Xia Yan pursed her lips as she spoke, according to her mother's character, I'm afraid she really hasn't said it.

Sure enough, as soon as Xia Yan's words fell, Yan blushed and said, "I...... I didn't say ......."

Then, as if he was afraid that Xia Yan would get angry, Yan hurriedly added, "But...... But I didn't say yes to it, I just told her that I didn't have enough money lately, and it would take a while. ”

"So what? Did she really listen to you, and come back after a while to ask for money? Xia Yan narrowed his eyes, "I guess it's impossible, if that's the case, you won't tell me right now." ”

"Your grandmother, she...... She ......" Yan's gaze wandered, he didn't dare to look directly at Xia Yan, and stammered for a long time before he could say something, "Your grandmother, she wants me to borrow some silver from you." ”

"How much to borrow?" Xia Yan didn't refuse, but smiled coldly, she wanted to see how much appetite this old lady had.

Yan didn't answer directly, but stretched out a finger with a look of embarrassment.

"Ten thousand taels?" Since the Yan family has already given so much, then Xia Mu will only ask for more than 10,000 silver when she comes again, not less than 10,000.

I have already given so much, and I dare to ask for it, which is really a bit excessive.

Don't say 10,000 taels, even if it's a penny, Xia Yan doesn't want to give it to her.

"No......" Yan shook his head, "she...... She asked for a hundred thousand taels. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xia Yan couldn't care about Yan's mood, and opened her mouth and shouted: "Why didn't she rob it!" ”

Just kidding, 100,000 taels, how many years will it take her to earn back these 100,000 taels?

After so many years of hard work, day and night, getting up early and working late, I only earned more than 300,000 taels. The old lady is good, she will divide a third when she opens her mouth, why should she?

When Xia Yan's family was beautiful, she didn't touch her son's light, but when Xia Yan's family was in the most difficult time, she didn't help once, didn't send a grain of rice, and ignored poor Xia Yan and Xia Huai. If only that's it, but not only did she not give them anything, but she kept asking for it, as long as it was something of little value, she hurried home. So much so that Xia Yan and the three of them didn't even have anything valuable that could be used as silver, and they lived a life of not having enough to eat every winter.

In Xia Yan's words, they were not frozen to death and starved to death back then, and they really relied on God's blessing.

With her being so cold-blooded, selfish and greedy towards her own family, how could Xia Yan be willing to give her silver?

What's more, the Yan family had obviously given it to her, and even gave away all his savings.

In other words, anyone who knows how to be grateful would not make such a cheeky request.

"Mother, it's rare that his Wang family has no other relatives and friends, why do you have to hold on to our family?" Xia Yan sneered, "I'm afraid you still think that we are as easy to bully as a few years ago?" They give what they want? Dream! ”

"Yan'er, your grandmother didn't mean that." Being caught in the middle, Yan's face was embarrassed, in order not to make Xia Yan angry, she could only explain for Xia's mother, "She was hesitant when she came to me, and I asked many times before she was willing to say what she meant." She also knew that this request was too much, but it was a matter of Weiwei's safety and happiness, and she, a mother, could only come to us again. Yan'er, you also know that 500,000 taels of silver is a large amount, how many relatives and friends do you have to make up enough of it. ”

"So we deserve to pay them off?" Xia Yan sneered, "Why? Is it because our family is richer than them? Whose money is blown by the wind? Is there anything that hasn't been earned for nothing? Why do they open their mouths and we have to take them out? ”

"Yan'er, they are in a hurry, if they don't get the money together quickly, she will ...... Weiwei didn't know what would happen to her......" Yan Shi looked worried, "Anyway, she is also your aunt, how can you bear to watch her suffer?" ”

"When I was about to freeze to death, did Xia Weiwei come and send me a quilt? Did you come and give me a cotton coat? Xia Yan suddenly remembered the miserable appearance of Xiao Xia Yan when she first came to this world, and couldn't help but be angry, and her voice gradually became louder, "If she was willing to send me a steamed bun and a big cake with kindness, I will remember her for the rest of my life!" But you don't know what she did? Why do you have to speak for her all this time! ”

"Yan'er, I'm not speaking for her." Seeing Xia Yan getting angry, Yan's voice couldn't help but soften, and he didn't know what he thought, tears suddenly welled up in his eyes, "I...... I just don't want to embarrass your grandma. are all mothers, naturally they don't want to watch their children suffer, for the sake of their children, even if they are willing to risk their lives, how can they care about that little face? If she hadn't been cornered this time, how could she have put down her body and begged me? Whenever I think of my grandmother's mood at the moment, I feel the same way, if you reach such a desperate situation, I will definitely beg people like her......"

As Yan was talking, Xia Yan interrupted her: "Mother, I am not Xia Weiwei, and I will not be like her without brains, let alone marry a brainless husband, I will never fall into her situation, and I will never let you beg others for me!" ”

"Okay...... "Yan pursed his lips, "even if you won't suffer a catastrophe in your life, but now I have experienced the pain of losing my daughter!" ”

"Your daughter is fine, standing in front of you, talk about loss!" Xia Yan's brows were almost twisted into a Sichuan character.

Yan covered his heart, tears raining down: "Lian'er has been gone for many days, every time I think of her, my heart hurts like a knife, you are all my daughters, I ...... without any of them"

"Enough!" Xia Yan couldn't bear it anymore and yelled at Yan, "I don't want to hear you mention Lian'er in front of me, mother, your daughter will always be the only one!" ”

Yes, yes, in the past few months, Xia Yan has heard Yan reminiscing about the days when Lian'er was still here in front of others more than once.

Xu was afraid of her own thoughts, but she never mentioned it in front of her, so Xia Yan never heard it.

Although he knew that his mother had such a deep affection for Lian'er because of Gu poison, Xia Yan still couldn't control the sadness in his heart.

Xia Yan expressed his understanding of Yan's behavior these days, but psychologically he couldn't accept it at all, around whose mother kept talking about others in front of her child, and even worried about that person, and left tears for that person, I'm afraid no one can accept it.

If this is from her own heart, Xia Yan will try her best to persuade herself to respect her mother's choice even if she doesn't like Lian'er, but her mother's mother is like this because of the Gu poison, not to mention that this Gu poison is still damaging to the body, and Xia Huai only has three years to live, how can Xia Yan not be angry, and how can Xia Yan accept Lian'er?

It was because of Lian'er that Xia Yan became more and more disgusted with Mu Fan, and even had a deep hatred with Mu Fan, and he couldn't even say goodbye to the other party......

Xia Yan has only hatred for her!

If it weren't for Xiaohu's affection, even if she died, Xia Yan would have to find her corpse and break her bones and ashes.

"Yan'er, I don't understand why you can't accept Lian'er, in the days when you weren't at home, she came to chat with me to relieve my boredom, and she would cook for me and sew clothes for me, which I had never felt before." Yan didn't care about Xia Yan's reaction to her words at the moment, but tears rained down, "It is said that my daughter is my mother's little padded jacket, but I only really realized what this sentence meant after Lian'er came." You are busy all day long and you don't see people, my mother doesn't blame you, you have your own ideas, this is a good thing, and your mother will not stop you, but why do you want to stop your mother? God sees that I am lonely all day, so I have given me another daughter, and I can't be happy, so how can I hate her? In my heart, you and Lian'er are both my daughters, and the two of you are equally important! ”

"Mother! If you like Lian'er so much, get her back. Xia Yan was hurt by Yan's words just now, and even cried, "I won't cook for you, I won't sew clothes for you, and I won't accompany you often, I'm not a competent daughter!" Since I am so unbearable in your heart, then you can treat Lian'er as your only daughter! ”

Xia Yan finished his words crying, and then ran outside the house without looking back, regardless of Yan's reaction.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw Lin Yuan standing there awkwardly, with a hesitant face.
