Looking at the defensiveness and rejection in his mother's eyes, Xia Guozhang felt extremely uncomfortable.
He pleaded with his mother in a trembling voice: "Mom, I know you have suffered all these years. I am sorry for you, but I have really changed... I don't ask you to forgive me now, I just ask you to take us in for a few months, just a few months."
"I didn't want to trouble you, but the house we lived in was buried by the snow, and we haven't had any supplies for several days. I really had no choice but to come to you for help!"
"Even if you don't care about my life or death, please at least save Ziqi. After all, Ziqi is your grandson!"
Xia Ziqi also raised his head at this time and looked at his grandmother eagerly.
He was only sixteen years old, but he looked abnormally thin due to long-term malnutrition. There was frost on his long eyelashes and his lips were covered with chapped wounds that were still bleeding.
Grandma felt distressed when she saw this. Although Xia Guozhang was a beast, Xia Ziqi was indeed innocent, and she felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
Just at this moment, Xia Shige came out.
She held her grandmother's hand and whispered, "Grandma, it's cold outside, let my third uncle and the others come in first!"
Grandma looked at Xia Shige, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but when she thought of Xia Ziqi, she nodded.
She sighed softly, turned around and said to Xia Guozhang and the others, "Okay, come in first and talk."
When Xia Guozhang heard this, he was suddenly overjoyed. He looked at Xia Shige with gratitude, then went into the house with his family.
…
As soon as Xia Guozhang and the other two entered the house, they immediately felt a warm feeling coming over them.
Xia Guozhang sighed: "It's really warm here... We are almost freezing outside."
Seeing Sun Yuegui and Grandma Liu in the living room, Xia Guozhang hurriedly greeted them: "Sister-in-law! Aunt Liu! Where are you all...I haven't seen you for a long time."
Grandma Liu also greeted Xia Guozhang with a smile.
Sun Yuegui looked at the three people with bloody lips and said in surprise: "Oh, how come you are so frozen? Are you okay?"
Xia Guozhang smiled and shook his head, and replied: "No, no."
The three of them had been frozen unconscious after being outside just now, and they could no longer feel the pain from their frostbitten wounds.
Xia Guozhang and the other two had marks of snow all over their bodies. Looking at the cream-colored sofa in the living room, they seemed a little uneasy. They didn't dare to sit on the sofa, so they sat down on the carpet.
Looking at the cautious look of his third uncle's family, Xia Shige lowered his eyes slightly, feeling mixed emotions.
From Xia Shige's memory, Third Uncle was a nice guy when he first came home, but ever since he got involved in online gambling, he seemed like a completely different person...
Not only did he squander all his family's savings, he also owed a lot of online loans from various platforms, both formal and informal.
Not only did he use his own ID card to borrow online loans, he also secretly used his family members' ID cards to borrow online loans.
Xia Huiyin, Xia Guocheng and her grandmother were not spared. They all had their ID cards stolen by him and borrowed a lot of money online. In order to repay these online loans, the Xia family had a very difficult life during that period.
When Xia Shige first started stockpiling supplies, even if she didn't have enough money, she never considered borrowing money from online loans to buy things.
The reason was simple: Xia Shige was deeply impressed by the online loans owed by his third uncle, which led to Xia Shige having a deep resistance to online loans from the bottom of his heart.
Xia Shige still remembers that Xia Huiyin was afraid that the overdue online loan under her name would affect Xia Shige's future, so she sold the shop she had bought in the city with great difficulty in tears...
My third uncle always swore and vowed that he would quit gambling, but he always broke his promise.
Later, my third uncle was kicked out of the house again by my grandmother who could no longer tolerate him.
Is it possible that the current third uncle who is addicted to gambling has really changed for the better?
