After hearing what her daughter-in-law said, the frightened old woman did not blame her, but quickly said loudly:
"Yes, yes, my daughter-in-law is right. Go find whoever owes you money. It doesn't matter even if you kidnap my granddaughter and sell her for money."
"A married girl is like spilled water. She has already been married off from our family and has nothing to do with us anymore, so go find her."
After hearing his words, the debt collectors also sighed in their hearts. This family is really cold-blooded. After all, that is their child, and they can actually say such things.
Those who have nothing to do with these people feel very uncomfortable hearing this. I really don’t know how their children would react if they heard this.
Being told this by her own family, being abandoned by her own family. Her family would rather let him sink into the quagmire than spend money to save him. How ironic.
At this time, the Xia family hated Xia Qingqing so much that their teeth were itching. They had never thought that this married daughter could turn around and cheat them out of such a large sum of money.
They didn't believe Xia Qingqing and didn't know about this. If he really didn't know, he wouldn't have said that when he came to ask for money.
If she knew, then she did it on purpose. If she was willing to cheat their family out of money for her current husband, then why would they bother saving him?
Not only did they not save her, they also wanted to get back the money he had cheated her out of. Mrs. Xia's heart ached when she thought about all that money being gambled away by that gambler.
In the end, these gamblers left the family after making some threats, and they didn't know what to say.
They often go to these gamblers' homes to collect debts. Logically, they should be used to the cold-heartedness of human nature, but it still feels ridiculous to hear them say this this time.
Although they are not good people, if their daughter suffered such a crime, they would fight to the death with the person who harmed their daughter.
After everyone left, Old Lady Xia and Xia Jianguo hurriedly helped Old Man Xia into the house.
After helping the man onto the sofa, Old Lady Xia pinched his philtrum hard for a long time before Old Man Xia slowly woke up.
After waking up, the first thing he saw was Old Lady Xia, and he said weakly:
"Where are they? Are the things they said true?"
Old Lady Xia saw her old man wake up, as if she had found her backbone, and she cried and said:
"It's true, it's true. That bastard lied to me and said he's not a rich man at all. He's just an uneducated gambler."
"He must have gambled away the 5,000 yuan our family gave him and lost it all. If we ask for it back now, we don't know how much we'll get."
"Those two beasts, how dare they do that? That's the money that saved our Xiaobao's life."
Jiang Long You Si seemed to have aged a dozen years in an instant, and looked at his wife and said:
"What did those people say? Will they come again?"
"They told us to pay back the money within three days or we would be in trouble. They also said they would capture Qingqing and sell her for money."
After hearing these words, Old Man Xia said angrily:
"Go tell them to go after that ungrateful bastard, capture her, and give her a good beating. She actually dared to help outsiders defraud her family of their money."
"That's the money for his brother's medical treatment. How could he have the nerve to take it? Since he did such a thing, don't blame us for being disrespectful."
"No matter what, there's no way our family is going to pay him back. He borrowed so much money, and we don't have the money to pay him back."
"Hide the remaining money. You must hide it well. This is all our family's wealth. We need to save it for Cai Cai's medical treatment later."
After hearing what he said, Old Lady Xia nodded repeatedly and said:
"I understand. I'll do whatever you say. Most people won't know where I've hidden my money, so don't worry."
After Xia Jianguo heard what they said, he said:
"Well, what if they come again? They don't look like people who can be reasoned with. They're all tall and strong and look very fierce."
"What if we really can't pay them back and they come in to do odd jobs? I can't beat them alone, and looking at their behavior, they don't seem afraid even if we call the police."
"After all, some of the people I drank with were also gambling. They said that these people have strong connections and ordinary people can't easily touch them."
Old Man Xia thought of the people who had just come to collect debts from his family, and said angrily:
"Jianguo, wait until tonight and ask your friends out. See if you can get any news about these people."
"Let's find out more. What will they do if we really can't pay back the money? I don't believe we're the only family that can't pay back the money."
"Also ask them about your son-in-law and see if they know him. Since he's a seasoned gambler, this isn't the only time he's owed money. He must be well-known in that business."
Xia Jianguo looked at his father and nodded, saying, "Okay, I understand. Then you should take a rest first. I'll go out and take a look."
The old man waved his hand and told them to go, leaving only Old Lady Xia to accompany him. After watching them all leave, he sighed and said to her:
"Pack up everything at home and take everything you can. If that doesn't work, let's go back to the village."
When she heard him say he was going back to the village, Old Lady Xia said in surprise:
"Why did you suddenly want to go back to the village to live? We've lived in the city for so many years. If we go back to the village now, how will they laugh at us?"
"And have you forgotten that all the houses in our village were sold to my eldest brother and his family? Where will we live when we return to the village?"
"And what about Xia Cai's illness? What if we return to the village? Can't he be cured? Can you bear to watch him like this for the rest of his life?"
"I don't agree to go back to the village. We live well here. Why should we go back? It's so dirty over there."
Old Man Xia said, "Do you think I want to go back to the village? I've been out for so many years, and I'm so old and being driven back again, I'm too embarrassed to face it."
"But what can we do if we don't go back to the village? We can avoid these people if we go back to the village. But if we really can't pay the money back, what should we do? Tell me."
"Those people won't reason with you. If you don't pay back the money, our whole family might be arrested and have their hands and feet cut off."
