Xia Shige wasn't sure.
She thought for a moment and asked, "Third Uncle, how did you find this place? Did your first uncle tell you the address?"
Xia Guozhang nodded and replied, "Indeed, your uncle told me that."
After hearing what he said, Sun Yuegui quickly asked, "What did the old man say?"
Xia Guozhang glanced at Sun Yuegui and said with some displeasure: "My brother asked me to come here to support his mother-in-law's family. He asked me to find a way to convince you to take good care of his mother-in-law. He also asked me to persuade you to vacate a house for his mother-in-law's family to live in."
Sun Yuegui snorted coldly upon hearing this and whispered, "As expected, this old man is quite cunning..."
After hearing what Xia Guozhang said, grandma's face became even gloomier.
She really didn't expect that Xia Guokang could come up with such an idea!
Using your own third brother as a gun is too unscrupulous!
Seeing this, Xia Guozhang quickly said to his grandmother, "Mom, don't worry. I know my brother is worried. I will definitely not listen to him! I don't plan to help his mother-in-law and her family!"
"I came here this time just to confess my sins to you in person. I want you to know that I have sincerely changed my ways this time!"
"Mom, I have been working these years to save money to pay off the loan. I didn't dare to disturb you before. I always thought that after I paid off the debt, I would save some money to return to the family and make it up to you. Then I will come back..."
"Unfortunately, I had just paid off my loan and hadn't saved any money when the natural disaster hit... All the factories stopped working and I lost my job..."
"But I promise, I will go out and find a job as soon as the disaster is over, and I will definitely pay you back all your money! I won't gamble anymore, and I won't be a burden to my family anymore!"
Xia Shige heard this and remained silent.
Although the third uncle seems to have reformed, it is also true that he did not come to the funeral after his family members passed away in his previous life...
People's hearts are hidden, so Xia Shige had to be on guard against him.
Grandma listened to Xia Guozhang's tearful confession, but her expression did not show much emotion.
She just waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright, I don't want to care about your child anymore, just do whatever you want."
When Xia Guozhang heard this, a trace of sadness and loneliness flashed across his eyes.
But he quickly cheered up, adjusted his mood, forced a smile and said, "Then... Mom, can you take us in for a while? We can sleep in the living room or the bathroom, as long as there is a place for us to stay temporarily."
His voice was filled with pleading: "We really have nowhere to go now. The place we are living in now is no longer habitable, and the supply of supplies over there has been cut off for several days!"
Ruan Jiayu, who was standing by, also nodded repeatedly and echoed in a hoarse voice: "Yes, yes, there is no one taking care of that place now. All the neighbors who could escape have escaped! Those who couldn't escape have died..."
When Xia Guozhang and the other two were about to leave, they called the elderly couple next door, wanting to ask them if they wanted to follow the government's disaster relief vehicle so that they could have someone to look after them on the way. However, they found that they had already frozen to death at home, and even their bodies were stiff...
Seeing this, Xia Shige replied, "Third uncle, the supply of materials in our community is still normal. You can rent a house here and live there."
Xia Guozhang looked a little embarrassed when he heard this. He scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Ziqi was sick some time ago and has had a high fever. In order to buy antipyretics, we sold everything we could at home. We really have no money left and can't pay the rent for the time being..."
Xia Shige replied: "It doesn't matter, I'll pay the rent, you just live here in peace!"
Xia Shige couldn't live with Xia Guozhang's family, but it was not a problem for him to pay for them to rent a house in Xindu District.
