Chapter 58 Debt Collector
"Hello, host, hello everyone! I am Xiao Xie Bu Kai Hua, very happy to be able to connect with the host!"
The girl who appeared in the camera was about 18 or 19 years old, looked like a college student, very youthful and energetic.
She was a lively, cute, confident and generous girl.
The barrage of comments also started, and everyone rushed to greet the little beauty.
Ming Zhuo's gaze stayed on her face for two seconds, "What do you want to calculate?"
Xiao Xie Bu Kai Hua propped up her chin, "I haven't thought about it yet... The woman looking for her child on the hot search is so pitiful, why don't you help me calculate it?"
Ming Zhuo said coldly: "Are you sure?"
Xiao Xie Bu Kai Hua: "Forget it, why don't you calculate when my dad will make a fortune and buy me a big house?"
After she finished speaking, she giggled again, "If this doesn't work, then forget it. In fact, my family is harmonious, and my parents love me very much. By the way, I also have a younger brother. Although my parents are from the countryside, they have never favored boys over girls. On the contrary, they treat me much better than my brother!"
This is the thing she is most proud of. Every time someone talks about favoring boys over girls, she will say, oh, how could that be, my family is not like that.
"Actually, my parents are not well-educated. They opened a fruit shop in the provincial capital in their early years. They are very open-minded . My dad said that the bulk of the family property will be mine in the future, so I am a daddy's girl."
The comments all expressed envy.
[It can be seen that the little sister is very happy. ] [
Children who are spoiled by their families are particularly confident and envious of the little sister's state. ]
[Why do I feel that the way you show off is full of superiority? I don't like the tone of speaking. ] [Of course people can show off if they have a happy life. ] [No, didn't everyone notice that the host's tone was a little wrong? ] Xiao Xie Bu Kaihua glanced at the comments and felt a little unhappy in her heart. The smile on her face also faded. She thought, is the host also jealous of her? Like her roommates in the dormitory, every time she said that she was a daddy's girl, her expression immediately became cold. These people are not happy with their own lives, but they still think that others should be like them. It's so annoying! Ming Zhuo suddenly spoke up, "If you only calculate this, then I can tell you clearly that your father will not be rich, and you will not have a big house to live in." Xiao Xie Bu Kaihua was stunned and a little angry, "If you don't know how to tell fortunes, don't talk nonsense!" Is she sick? He paid her to tell fortunes, but she still spoke in this tone. It's too much. Do you know what service is? Can't you say some auspicious words to comfort people? "Nan Nan, who are you talking to?" Someone sat up on the bed next to him. Soon footsteps were heard, and a middle-aged woman appeared in front of the camera. "Mom." Xiao Xie Bu Kaihua called out and explained, "I'm watching the live broadcast, the one I mentioned last time, the one that found a great writer for marriage." She entered the live broadcast room because of Lan Ze's matter, and thought it was fun, so she followed the reward. Unexpectedly, she succeeded in rewarding and got the second place for fortune-telling today. Middle-aged woman: "The one who tells fortunes? That's pretty amazing." Cheng Jinlan has been very tired these days, always groggy, and will fall into a dream if she is not careful, and have a lot of messy dreams. She came to visit her daughter at the university where her daughter is studying today. She originally planned to stay in a small hotel by herself, but she couldn't resist her daughter's begging, so the mother and daughter finally stayed in a very good hotel. She had just fallen asleep, and then she woke up when she felt something pressing on her chest and she couldn't breathe. Ming Zhuo looked at the tiredness on the woman's face and suddenly said, "Auntie, do you want to have your fortune told?" Cheng Jinlan was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Xie Bu Kaihua had already pulled her to sit down. "In that case, anchor, you should be able to catch ghosts, right? My mom has been dreaming about dead people recently, why don't you help her catch the ghost." Cheng Jinlan's face changed slightly, "Don't talk nonsense, there is no ghost here, there is no ghost at all!" She wanted to leave the camera, but Ming Zhuo said, "Okay." Xiao Xie Bu Kaihua was suddenly excited: "You can really catch ghosts, then let me see what ghosts look like." Cheng Jinlan was anxious and wanted to turn off the live broadcast, "Nan Nan, don't be silly! Anchor, right? I don't need to catch ghosts, don't meddle in my business!" It was the first time that Xiao Xie Bu Kaihua saw her mother so angry, and she was a little confused. "Mom, did you really meet a ghost? Then you must catch it, don't let my dad get involved!" The barrage was confused, what was going on? [This is obviously a situation.] [Could that ghost be a relative of yours?] Cheng Jinlan was so anxious that tears were about to fall. Mingzhuo sighed, "Aunt, don't cry. Do you want to know where your son is?" This sentence made no sense, but little Xie Bukaihua suddenly understood it. His parents had two sons, and his younger brother was in his hometown. For the rest, there was only one possibility. "The ghost that haunts my mother is the brother of my debt-collecting ghost?" Little Xie Bukaihua's face changed drastically, "Oh my God, he has been dead for so many years, and he is still haunting our family. Is this the reason why my father can't make money?" Ming Zhuo said coldly: "It seems that you know a lot, but your family can't make money, what does it have to do with your brother." Cheng Jinlan said with a trembling voice, "Xie Cheng is not a debt-collecting ghost!" Ming Zhuo sighed. The term debt-collecting ghost is popular in many rural areas. In ancient times, a child who died before adulthood was a ghost who came to your house to collect debts, because he wasted his parents' efforts and money. Such a child will only bring unrest and bad luck to the family, and will always trouble the family, causing financial loss at the least and family destruction at the worst. This is actually a feudal dregs. When the economy was underdeveloped, children were regarded as private property, and investment was for the purpose of output. There is even a saying that if there is a bone-melting dragon in the house, it should be a debt collector. The bone-melting dragon here refers to the glutton, and children who eat a lot are considered debt collectors. This shows the attitude of people at that time towards children. Speaking of which, it was fourteen years ago. Xiejia Village is located next to the dam, and the river across the dam is called Heisha River.
The Black Sand River is rich in iron sand. I don't know if it's because too much sand has been mined, which has led to many undercurrents at the bottom of the river. The water is very shallow, but if you step in, you may sink.
Local children have been taught not to go to the Black Sand River to play since they were young, because there are water ghosts in the river.
Even so, drowning incidents still occur in the Black Sand River every year.
That year, several junior high school students made an appointment to go to the Black Sand River to cool off. Xie Cheng was the youngest among them, and his grandfather followed them.
I don't know who suggested swimming in the water. After all, the river water looked clear and the moon was particularly round that day, so nothing would happen.
Then the children who were swimming had an accident. The sand under their feet kept sinking, and the bottom of the river was like a monster with its mouth wide open, wanting to swallow everyone.
Xie Cheng saw something was wrong on the shore and immediately ran over to rescue him.
That night, four of the five children who went with him returned, but Xie Cheng remained at the bottom of the river forever.
Cheng Jinlan was shocked when she heard the bad news on the phone, but she could only hold back her grief when she thought that her child died while saving others. She and her husband Xie Zude hurriedly closed the fruit shop and returned to their hometown.
