Chapter 909 Apology

When picking up Shuigen'er and Niuzi, Qin Yue had thought about the impact on himself.

Future life is one aspect.

Everyone in the army knew that their "little squad leader" was always thinking about the beautiful old girl at home.

When he is discharged from the army, he will propose to her.

But at that time, Old Wang was about to die.

Lao Wang is a veteran in Qin Yue's class. He had a good relationship with him when he was in the army.

But no one could have imagined that less than a year after he was discharged from the army, he would be hit by a huge rock in a coal kiln and his waist would be broken. He was obviously dying.

Both his parents are gone, and he only has a younger brother and a younger sister.

The family members were evil, and if no one took over, the two children would be sold to different families.

When the boy is in his teens, he will be sent to the coal kiln and will soon follow in the footsteps of Old Wang.

Girls are arranged to get married when they are twelve or thirteen years old, and then give birth to children like pigs.

My life is over.

When Old Wang pulled him with his limp hands, his lips trembling but unable to utter a word, Qin Yue silently grabbed his hand and held it tightly:

"Don't worry, Shuigen and Niuzi, follow me from now on."

"Will it... affect you and..."

Old Wang asked with the remaining strength he had.

"It doesn't matter. She's... very generous."

The young monitor was still smiling, with a hint of childishness still remaining on his face, and his words were full of firmness and determination.

But he knew in his heart that there was no hope for him and Xia Tang before they even started.

He joined the army just to be worthy of her.

However, when he took over these two heavy responsibilities, it would no longer be possible for him to marry the girl he loved.

He couldn't let Xia Tang bear all these consequences for his decision as soon as she got married.

And Xia Tang also deserves someone better.

Qin Yue was very clear in his mind, so when he came back to see Xia Tang, he pretended to be natural and told her everything about himself.

Seeing that Xia Tang had no reaction and that Xie Minghui was by his side, Qin Yue felt uncomfortable but also relieved.

At that time, he had almost no other thoughts about Xia Tang.

But now...

He lowered his head. The 1.80-meter-tall man looked like a frost-bitten eggplant. His face, which had been smiling just a moment ago, was now filled with confusion and loss.

No matter what, he now wants to go on with Xia Tang.

However, she felt extremely guilty towards Xia Tang.

The complex emotions intertwined together made him not know what to do.

"By the way, where have you placed Shuigen and Niuzi now?"

The turbulent thoughts in my mind were interrupted by a gentle question.

Qin Yue raised his head and saw Xia Tang looking at him with bright eyes and curved eyebrows.

It seems that he is not affected by the previous conversation.

Qin Yue pursed his lips, and looked at Xia Tang with his pure black eyes without blinking:

"At my house. My mom and sister are taking care of him first."

Xia Tang smiled and said, "When will you take me back to see it?"

Qin Yue was stunned at first, but after he reacted, a surprised smile appeared on his face, and he nodded subconsciously:

“Ah…ah!”

Afterwards, he seemed to come back to life and asked Xia Tang:

"Do you mind, Xia Tang?"

"Why should I mind? What do I mind?"

Xia Tang looked at her with lively and playful eyes.

"Isn't it just two more brothers and sisters? In our area, who doesn't have a few more children in their family?"

She really doesn't mind.

She still remembered that although Qin Yue had not married in his previous life, he took good care of his two children.

Including Qin Yue's sister Qin Yao, they are all pillars of talent who can contribute to the country.

He has a good family background and was raised upright. Why should she mind such a good child?

Although she didn't mind, Qin Yue was a little too nervous and overprotective towards her, and she saw it all.

Qin Yue was extremely happy. When she was about to say something, she suddenly heard someone calling her name not far behind her:

"Xia Tang."

When they turned around, they saw Xie Minghui and Xia Lulu standing side by side not far from them.

Xie Minghui came to the market to buy a gift for Xia Tang.

In fact, he was also very angry about what happened yesterday.

But after I went back and calmed down, I roughly understood the whole story.

Xia Lulu must have done that. The little girl was joking without thinking too much, but because she liked him, he couldn't get into it.

But Xia Tang was innocent after all.

It is normal for a pure woman to get angry and say something she doesn't think when she is accused of having an affair with another man.

As for "Qin Yue is the target", don't think too much, it must be all spoken in anger!

Otherwise, why would she choose a repairman in a machinery factory over someone as good as herself?

Xie Minghui has a clear understanding of himself.

It was a blessing for Xia Tang that someone like him could be with her.

Thinking of this, Xie Minghui's confidence became even stronger.

He even began to reflect on his previous ambiguous attitude towards Xia Tang.

Although Xia Tang's conditions were not good enough, she was much prettier than the ones introduced to him and had a gentle personality.

Although he was not sure about marrying her, he still had to coax such a beautiful girl.

So, yesterday he took the initiative to go to Xia's house to find Xia Tang.

He didn't find the person, but he said a lot of sincere words to Xia Dashan and Liu Mei.

Today, at Xia Lulu's suggestion, I came to the market to pick out a gift for Xia Tang.

When the two people met and he gave the gift, the misunderstanding naturally disappeared.

Xie Minghui's idea was so logical.

So much so that when he saw clearly the man standing next to Xia Tang, his face was as black as a rag.

Xia Tang looked at Xie Minghui with a sullen face and curled the corners of his lips slightly.

In fact, she no longer cared about Xie Minghui.

But it did not stop her from feeling happy when she saw Xie Minghui stumbling.

Xie Minghui walked over with a gloomy face, staring at her from behind his glasses.

Although her eyes were filled with emotion, she still had to maintain her restraint and composure:

"Xia Tang, it's just a small misunderstanding. Why are you making such a fuss?"

"At worst, I can just let Lulu apologize to you, isn't that enough?"

After saying this, Xia Lulu also came over. She looked at Xia Tang with jealousy and said in a reluctant voice:

"Sister Xia Tang, just think of it as me apologizing to you. You didn't come home last night, and Brother Minghui waited for you all night! He was so anxious!"

Hearing the words "didn't come back all night", Xie Minghui's face turned even worse.

But he still held back and said nothing, and just extended his hand to Xia Tang:

"Come on, come back to the Xia family with me. If your uncle and his friends scold you, I'll protect you from them."

Oh, it sounds like you are standing up for yourself.

But why should she be scolded?

Xie Minghui's logic is exactly the same as in his previous life.

On the surface, he seemed to be on her side, but in reality, all the faults seemed to be hers.

She was ignorant, misunderstood others, was narrow-minded, and loved to make trouble, but he was the only one who did not give up on her and stepped forward to put out her anger.

But who is the one who lights the fire?

Facing the hand extended by Xie Minghui, Qin Yue's originally raised smile turned cold.

He took a step forward, but his sleeve was grabbed by Xia Tang.

Looking back, Xia Tang shook her head at him. When she looked intently at Xie Minghui, her crystal clear almond eyes showed a hint of alienation, even mockery.

Until Xie Minghui's arms became sore and finally dropped down.

Xia Tang only smiled at this time:

"You can ask me to go back to the Xia family."

She watched Xie Minghui's expression soften and said:

"Then can you help me get Xia Dashan and his friends out of my parents' house, and get my pension back?"

"What...do you mean?"

Xie Minghui's expression suddenly turned into shock. Xia Tang saw this and suddenly wanted to laugh:

“So you didn’t know either.”

"Then why are you saying so much? Are you helping me, the Xia family, or yourself?"

Xia Lulu's eyes had become flustered, and she quickly stepped forward:

"Xia Tang, what are you talking about!"

After saying this, he quickly turned to Xie Minghui and said:

"Brother Minghui, don't listen to Xia Tang's nonsense. The house and pension are all ours!"

"Really?"

Xia Tang deliberately dragged out the words:

"Do you dare to tell these words to the people in the factory?"

Xia Lulu shrank back again.

Xie Minghui listened to the conversation between the two, his expression becoming more and more serious:

"Xia Tang... I don't know what happened between you... but after all... they raised you for so many years..."

"There's no need to talk about what happened after 'After all'."

Xia Tang looked at him with clear eyes:

"Don't encourage others to be good unless you have experienced their suffering. Teacher Xu, you have been teaching for so many years, you don't need me to teach you this principle, right?"

Seeing Xie Minghui being choked by her and unable to say a word, Xia Tang smiled:

"Besides, what is the relationship between us? What right do you have to say these things to me?"

After saying this, Xia Tang pulled Qin Yue's sleeve and turned around to leave with him.

After walking a few steps, I heard Xie Minghui behind me say something after a long pause:

"You... don't think you'll be comfortable living alone. I want to see how you'll handle this loss!"

hehe.

To suffer a loss.

The biggest loss she suffered in her previous life was at the hands of Xie Minghui.

She would be happy to leave him even if she suffered losses.

Xia Dafang was met by Xia Dashan when she was getting off work.

In the past two or three years, she and her younger brother have not been close. Apart from visiting each other during the Chinese New Year and other festivals, they rarely see each other on weekdays.

Because of this, when Xia Dafang saw Xia Dashan, she was quite surprised:

"Dashan, you came to see me, what's the matter?"

She was assigned to a flower company after returning to the city as an educated youth.

He started out as a salesperson, and in recent years he was promoted to a minor office official. He spoke and sat much more steadily than usual, with a green scarf tied around his neck and a layer of powder on his face, which made him look very different from a working-class person.

Xia Dashan was wearing a gray work uniform from a medicinal materials factory. Looking at Xia Dafang like this, he couldn't help but hunch his spine.

Then an unknown anger arose in my heart:

There are three siblings in the family, and each one of them is better than him!

It was not easy for him to live a good life now that the second brother and his wife died, but now Xia Tang is actually clamoring to split the family! Split the family!

How heartless!

Xia Dashan was furious, but he had to hold it in when talking to Xia Dafang. He could only swallow his anger and hand over the date cake wrapped in oil paper:

"The last time Lele came home, he said this was delicious, so your sister-in-law asked me to bring some."

"No need. The last time Lele went there was three years ago. He doesn't like it anymore."

Xia Dafang didn't give his brother any face at all and pushed back on the spot.

Xia Dashan swallowed his anger and took it back.

Just as she was thinking about how to bring up Xia Tang's matter, Xia Dafang glanced at the "Phoenix" brand ladies' watch on her wrist and said impatiently:

"Just tell me what you want to say. I have a dinner party later."

Xia Dashan suppressed his anger and quickly told Xia Dafang about Xia Tang's situation. At the end, he couldn't help but exaggerate:

"Sister, we praised Xia Tang to the skies, just like the other kids. We never lacked anything to eat or wear. But look at her, we are separated just like that. It's really heartbreaking!"

Xia Dafang looked at his brother with disdain:

"Dashan, stop pretending in front of me."

Xia Dashan stammered and was unable to speak.

"It's fine to say this to outsiders, but you and I are siblings, how can you say this? The second brother's family left so much money, the factory gave so much money, and there is also a pension every month. We both know how much of this money you spent on Xia Tang."

Xia Dashan's fingers almost pierced the paper wrapping of the jujube cake, but he still had to hold his breath and explain:

"Sister, you can't say that. We have three children in our family, plus Xia Tang, which makes four. I'm the only one with a job among the four children and two adults. I have to make a lot of money here and there, unlike you..."

"Okay."

What Xia Dafang hates most is that his younger brother sells things out as if the whole world owes him something.

She sighed, feeling sorry for Xia Tang, and said:

"Then you can't pinch that kid too much. She's grown up now. Girls are at their most beautiful. Buying clothes, dating, and everything else requires money, right? You should be nicer to her. Xia Tang is a kind girl with no bad intentions. If you are nicer to her, maybe this matter will be over."

Xia Dashan might have thought so before, but he doesn't think so now.

"Xia Tang is not as simple as you think. Sister, you don't know that she picked this critical moment to bring it up because she saw that we were going to prepare a dowry for Xia Dong! If we really divide the family as she wishes, Xia Dong will have no dowry and no house to live in in the future, and this marriage will have to be cancelled!"

Xia Dashan licked his lower lip and said anxiously:

"Sister, Xia Dong is the only child of our Xia family! You can't let him not even get married!"
