After hearing what Xia Shige said, Ruan Jiayu seemed a little at a loss.
She didn't understand why her eldest niece always cut off ties with others.
How can family ties be severed so easily?
We are all family members, even if our bones are broken we are still connected by our tendons!
Just when she didn't know how to answer, Xia Ziqi, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly said: "...the first one..."
The boy's voice was a little hoarse from crying. He looked up at Xia Shige and said firmly, "I choose the first one. Cousin, I know my father broke your heart, but he gave birth to me and raised me. The grace of giving birth and raising me is greater than heaven. I really can't break off relations with him."
"This pound of rice and this pound of coal is just a loan from you, cousin, you are right, I am already 16 years old, it is time for me to shoulder the responsibility of the family."
"I've made up my mind. When the snowstorm is over, I will go out to work. I will work hard and make money, and return the rice and coal to you with the original money!"
Xia Ziqi's slightly immature face was full of sincerity, and his clear eyes also revealed a firmness.
The boy seemed to have grown up overnight and learned to shoulder the burden of the family. He was no longer a child who needed to be protected, but a man who could take responsibility and take care of his family.
Xia Shige stared at Xia Ziqi's face expressionlessly for a while, then she sneered, turned around and went to the storage room without saying a word.
A moment later, Xia Shige came out of the storage room, pulling a cart with a kilogram of rice and a kilogram of coal on it.
Xia Shige pushed the cart in front of Xia Ziqi and Ruan Jiayu and said in a deep voice: "Take these things and go. This one kilogram of rice and coal will be considered as buying out the relationship between us. Remember, you chose the road to heaven yourself. From now on, we are strangers!"
Ruan Jiayu felt uncomfortable when she heard Xia Shige say this, and her tears began to fall uncontrollably.
She was about to say something when Xia Ziqi stood up from the ground.
Xia Ziqi took Ruan Jiayu's hand, patted it soothingly, and signaled her not to speak.
Then Xia Ziqi looked at Xia Shige again and said sincerely: "Cousin, even if you don't recognize me, in my heart, you will always be my dearest sister. When my parents were not at home when I was a child, you and Brother Ziyan took care of me. I will never forget these."
"Sister, aunt, don't worry, I will never do stupid things again, and I will never gamble again even if I die. With these supplies, my mother and I can survive until the snowstorm is over. When the snowstorm is over, I will go out and find a job. I will work hard to make money and pay back all the debts I owe you!"
After Xia Ziqi finished speaking, he took the supplies and left with Ruan Jiayu.
After seeing the man off, Sun Yuegui and Xia Shige looked at each other in silence for a while.
After a while, Sun Yuegui slumped down on the sofa, sighed, and murmured: "What a sin..."
Then she raised her head and looked at Xia Shige, and said hesitantly: "You said, the third brother owes so much money from gambling... Will those creditors let him go..."
Xia Shige also sighed and replied: "Aunt, don't think about it. This lesson is enough! From now on, we don't have to worry about their children. Just pretend that this relative doesn't exist."
Xia Shige is not disregarding family ties. If Ruan Jiayu and Xia Ziqi choose the first option one day and sever ties with Xia Guozhang, Xia Shige would not mind helping them.
Sometimes Xia Shige would give her and her son a house of 1603 or 1604 square meters, and would also send them some supplies from time to time, enough for them to live safely during natural disasters.
But Ruan Jiayu and Xia Ziqi still chose the first one.
