Before Xia Guozhang could finish his words, Xia Guocheng pushed him away and slapped him in the face.
A bright red palm print suddenly appeared on Xia Guozhang's face. He lowered his head and dared not say a word. He knew that this was what he deserved. After all, he had broken his elder brother's heart.
After Xia Guocheng slapped him, he thought about it and felt unsatisfied.
He grabbed Xia Guozhang's collar again, pulled him back, and shouted at him: "Remember this, kid! We didn't forgive you! We brought these things to you now, not for you, but for your wife and children!"
Xia Guozhang nodded quickly upon hearing this, and kept saying, "Yes, yes, I know, I know, it's all my fault..."
Before Xia Guozhang could finish his words, Xia Guocheng said in a stern voice: "Remember this, take good care of your wife and children! If I catch you gambling again, I will throw you out of the window and let you freeze to death in the snow!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Guozhang immediately pointed to the sky and swore, "Brother, don't worry, I have really changed now! I won't gamble anymore!"
Seeing this, Sun Yuegui quickly pulled Xia Guocheng over and tried to reconcile them: "Alright, alright, the third brother has reformed, so don't bother with him for now... Jiayu and Ziqi are here, so give him some face..."
Xia Guocheng snorted coldly upon hearing this, and said, "He changed? Only you would believe it. He has changed so many times, but which time was he really changed..."
Xia Guozhang had promised countless times before that he would never gamble again, but every time he would go back to gambling within two days.
One time he lost a bet and had to mortgage his family's ancestral home. Xia Guocheng was so angry that he impulsively took out a kitchen knife and chopped off Xia Guozhang's little finger with one stroke!
Later, thanks to timely medical treatment, Xia Guozhang's little finger was reattached, but even so, he ran away again...
This kind of thing happened repeatedly during those years, and Xia Guocheng no longer had any trust in his younger brother.
If Ru Yu didn't care about Xia Guozhang's wife and children, he would never send supplies to Xia Guozhang!
Xia Guozhang also knew that what he had done over the years had broken his family's hearts, and he could only prove his repentance through practical actions.
He looked at Xia Guocheng and said sincerely, "Brother, I have really changed this time. I have been working to pay off my debts in the past few years. I have already paid off my previous loan. After the natural disaster is over, I will go out to work and pay back the money owed to my family!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Guocheng snorted coldly and did not comment.
Sun Yuegui helped them to open the folding beds and spread out the bedding. The two folding beds were just enough for three people to sleep.
Xia Shige placed the coal stove and coal by the window, then she turned around and looked around the empty house, then said, "Third uncle, there are people buying and selling second-hand furniture in the community idle furniture group. If you still need anything, you can buy it then."
Xia Guozhang waved his hands and replied: "That's enough. With beds, quilts and coal, we can survive this winter!"
Ruan Jiayu leaned over and touched the dozens of kilograms of rice, and asked with emotion: "Brother and sister-in-law, are you really giving us all this rice? This must be a lot of money, right?... If you give us all this, will it be enough for you to eat? Why don't you take some back..."
Sun Yuegui walked forward, patted her hands comfortingly, and replied: "It's okay, you can keep it. Ziqi is too thin, he needs to eat more."
Afterwards, Sun Yuegui opened the cardboard box on top of the rice, and inside it were some ham, chocolate, Lao Gan Ma, and chili sauce neatly arranged.
Seeing this, Xia Guozhang and his family of three were stunned.
Ruan Jiayu asked with a trembling voice: "These...are you giving us these too? This is too expensive!"
