Xia Guozhang also rubbed his hands, smiled flatteringly and said: "Yes, niece, Third Uncle promises you that Ziqi and I have given up gambling! This time we really know that we are wrong. Gambling harms people. We will never touch these things again from now on!"
After saying this, the father and son looked at Xia Shige sincerely, as if they were truly repentant.
Seeing this, Xia Shige just sneered and said nothing.
She couldn't even remember how many times the two people in front of her had "sincerely repented". Every time, they acted like they were deeply regretful and cried bitterly, as if they were swearing to the sky and wishing they could reveal their true feelings. Even the best actor would have to admit defeat!
But on the same occasion, Xia Shige couldn't go for the first time - as for the gambler, she didn't even believe in punctuation marks now!
Seeing Xia Shige remained silent, Xia Guozhang was so embarrassed that his hands were about to spark. He swallowed his saliva with all his strength and said with a wry smile: "...niece, don't blame your uncle for being thick-skinned... Your uncle is really desperate this time, so he can only come to you for help..."
Xia Ziqi on the side also nodded and said with a look of grievance: "Cousin, we really have nowhere to stay. Our house was washed away by the flood, and the crops we planted before were also flooded..."
After the extreme cold ended, Xia Guozhang and his family of three moved out of Xindu Community and moved to Ruan Jiayu's rural hometown.
The heavy rain had not started yet. They responded to the national policy, received a batch of seeds, planted a few acres of land, watered and fertilized, and waited for the harvest to come so that the family would have food to eat.
But what they didn't expect was that heavy rain and floods came just as the crops in the fields had just sprouted and before the harvest.
Ruan Jiayu's hometown is low-lying and located in a flood discharge area. When the upstream city opened the sluice gates to discharge floodwaters, floods poured down, destroying not only the crops that they had worked so hard to grow in the fields, but also their houses were washed away by the floods.
Xia Guozhang and his family of three followed the government-organized evacuation team and evacuated to Anshi. They lived in the evacuation center for a while, but there was no room for them anymore, so they found Xia Shige again.
Xia Shige looked at the father and son in front of her with adorable smiles on their faces, and felt speechless - come to her?
Stop kidding!
Based on what they have done before, how can they have the nerve to come to my door?
Xia Shige glanced at the father and son and said impatiently, "We severed our relationship during the snowstorm a while ago. Have you forgotten about it? If you have nowhere else to go, go to the government's shelter. I can't possibly take you in."
As soon as Xia Shige finished speaking, Xia Guozhang and Xia Ziqi's faces changed.
They thought that after so long and their sincere attitude of repentance, Xia Shige would soften her heart for the sake of being a family. But they never expected that she would be so cold-blooded!
A trace of hatred flashed in Xia Ziqi's eyes, but he quickly concealed it, put on a smile again, and pleaded with Xia Shige: "Cousin, those shelters are really not places for people to stay!"
"The supplies there are insufficient, and we often have no food to eat. Fights break out every day just to get a bite of food, and people get beaten to death every day. Even the police turn a blind eye because they can't do anything about it... Cousin, can you really bear to watch us wait to die in that place?"
Xia Ziqi's eyes were full of pleading, but Xia Shige was completely unmoved. She was about to say "Why can't I bear it?", but suddenly she felt something was wrong...
Xia Shige looked at the father and son in front of him suspiciously, and asked in confusion: "...Why are you the only ones here? Where is my third aunt?"
Ruan Jiayu had always followed the father and son closely before, why was she not there this time?
