"It's a good thing they ran fast, otherwise we would have been beaten!"
Xia Jinxiu spat at the door, "Second brother, is he here to ask for money?"
Xia Jinjun nodded, "They said they owed money outside. Whether it's true or not, I won't give them a penny."
Thinking that this guy would kill his son, he really wanted to kill him. Of course, if killing was not illegal, he would definitely do it.
"That's right, why should we give it to him?" Xia Jinyu, an honest and loyal man, was very angry. "Although I was young back then, I still remember that he ate a lot of good things from our house. He even ate the chicken that mom left for dad to nourish his body. When we went to my aunt's house, she wouldn't even let us in, not to mention the food."
"Is there such a thing?" Xia Jinxiu was furious. "If I knew, I wouldn't let them in."
"What do you know? You were still in your mother's belly at that time!" Xia Jinyu said.
"Both aunts were the same. Dad was dying, so my eldest brother and I went to call for help separately, but no one came. We didn't go to borrow money, we just wanted Dad to see the two sisters."
"The more I talk, the more infuriating it is. What kind of person is he? He has no mercy at all."
The brothers and sisters were talking in the yard, and they also called out the groom, Xia Jinheng, who could no longer sit still in the room.
"Not only that, it hasn't even been half a year since Dad died, and they both came to our house and asked for this and that. At that time, Dad was sick and the debts he owed had not been repaid. Mom had to take care of you and support the rest of us, and she almost drove us to death. Fortunately, Uncle Wei, a helper, came to our house at that time, otherwise we would have died."
【Who is Uncle Wei? 】
Xia Zhiliao suddenly remembered her grandmother's hesitation and that intriguing look that day.
I always feel that if there is really someone that my grandmother has feelings for, it would be Uncle Wei. According to seniority, she should call him Grandpa Wei.
Xia Jinxiu was not even one year old at the time and didn't remember anything. She was also curious, "Who is Uncle Wei? Why haven't I heard of him?"
She is as gossipy as her little niece.
"Uncle Wei... yes..."
"Ahem, you guys are not done yet, are you?" Old Lady Xia came out of the house, took off her shoes and knocked them on the wall twice, then put them on again, "Old Fourth, you are the groom, why don't you stay with your wife? Why are you running out here?"
"Mom, I'm not... ahem, I'm going back, back, it's like, my wife is so great!" Xia Jinheng was so scared that he quickly slipped into the big red new house.
Xia Jinjun also found an excuse to slip away.
"Third brother, don't leave!"
"No, your sister-in-law is alone in the room. I'm worried. I'll go check on her."
Xia Jinxiu rolled her eyes. They were at home and there were no outsiders around. What was there to worry about?
She glanced at Xia Zhiliao, and the aunt and niece walked towards Old Lady Xia tacitly.
"Mom, you must be tired. Let me massage your legs."
"Grandma, I'll go get you some water!"
Old Madam Xia curled her lips. She could not help but understand the little thoughts of these two girls.
It's just that person, she really doesn't want to mention him anymore.
"No, I'm not tired. You two can go wherever it's cool."
[Grandma doesn’t want to talk about it, and she doesn’t want anyone else to talk about it. What’s going on? Did that person betray Grandma? That’s not okay. I have to settle the score for Grandma.]
Old Mrs. Xia frowned. That was not the case. She was the one who was sorry for the other person.
"Zhiliao, didn't you say you would pour me some water?"
Old Mrs. Xia didn't want to be misunderstood again, and she always felt that her granddaughter could do what she said.
Xia Zhiliao's eyes lit up, and he hurried to make tea, but was stopped by Xia Jinxiu, "Are you afraid of getting burned? Let me do it."
Xia Zhiliao chuckled. She could actually do it, but she basically didn't need to do anything for the people at home.
She didn't argue with her aunt anymore. She climbed onto the kang and moved closer to Old Lady Xia, and used her little fists to massage the old lady's back.
Old Mrs. Xia raised her eyebrows and had to admit that the massage from her little granddaughter was really comfortable.
Xia Jinxiu quickly brought back the tea, "Mom, why do I feel this tea is so good?"
"Well? Didn't you buy this?" Old Mrs. Xia was puzzled. "Didn't you take it from the tea can?"
"Yes, but why do I feel that it is different from when I bought it? Doesn't this tea smell so good?"
Xia Zhiliao felt a little guilty. The tea her aunt bought was not very good, so she secretly replaced it. She didn't expect her aunt would still remember it.
"Maybe I remembered it wrong, this tea is good." Xia Jinxiu said with a smile.
"Mom, who is that Uncle Wei? Why is this the first time I've heard of him?" Xia Jinxiu couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"He was a wounded soldier. I saw him when I went to the mountains to cut grass with you on my back that year. I brought him home and told everyone that he was your father's friend who owed us money and worked for us to pay off the debt."
"So...then you left later?"
"Wouldn't he leave after his injury healed?" Old Lady Xia said with a smile, "They didn't sell it to us. Besides, we didn't have money to buy medicine or hire a doctor. When your father was sick, he owed debts to all the doctors, so they refused to see him."
"He is just lucky." said Old Lady Xia.
At the same time, Xia Chen was also asking about Uncle Wei, "What happened next?"
Xia Jinjun smiled bitterly and said, "After he recovered from his injury, he never left and was very good to us. Although I was young, I could see that he wanted to stay at home. Mother was also good to him, but later the two aunts came to visit us together."
"How did they know?"
"It was just a coincidence. They came to ask for money, and they saw Uncle Wei at home. They started to curse my mother and said some very ugly things. Uncle Wei was so angry that he wanted to hit me, but my mother stopped him because she was afraid he would get into trouble. Uncle Wei told my mother to leave and he would find a way to support us. But my two aunts wouldn't let her. They said that if she wanted to leave, she had to leave by herself and couldn't take any of the children with her."
"My eldest brother told me to let mom take my sister away and the five of us brothers would find a way to survive, but mom didn't agree."
Xia Jinjun choked up a little, "Mom had a hard time. If she had passed away at that time, she wouldn't have suffered so much. But she was afraid that we brothers would not live well, so she didn't leave. She also said a lot of harsh words to Uncle Wei. I can feel how harsh her words were, and how much pain she felt in her heart."
"After that, Uncle Wei left. Three years later, someone came to pick up my mother, but she told us that she had remarried and didn't want anyone to disturb her life."
Xia Jinyu sighed, then held his wife's hand and said, "Wife, mother gave up her happiness for us, and we brothers swore to be filial to her."
"I understand." Xia Chen nodded, "Mom is a good mother."
However, Old Lady Xia on the other side did not explain it in such detail, and did not say that she had actually been thinking about the man named Wei Rong all her life.
