"If Du Laosi comes looking for me again, I will kill myself!"
After hearing this, Xue Nan and Xue Rong cried even harder.
Xue Guixiang was also very anxious and wanted to give that useless guy a beating.
But this is not the time to be angry. What you really need to do is help your sister-in-law solve her urgent problem.
Otherwise, if Du Laosi and Wang Mazi come looking for them, they won’t be able to survive for years. “How much does he owe Du Laosi?”
"Five hundred! He owes a full five hundred dollars! Where can I get five hundred dollars to fill his hole?"
"So much!" Xue Guixiang was anxious and angry. "How much wealth does this family have to allow him to go through so much trouble? This is simply a matter of life and death!"
Sun Junqiao cried and said, "Sister, please go away and pretend that you don't know about this, so as not to get yourself into trouble!"
At this time, Xue Dong also came out from the inner room silently, lowered his head and said: "Aunt, you can go back. I'm at home."
This child is usually taciturn, and now he speaks even less. He does not follow his parents' temperament and is the most sensible of the three children. Xue Guixiang loves him the most.
Looking at her twelve-year-old nephew, who was pale and thin, with his clothes too short, his ankles exposed, and a pair of torn cloth shoes on his feet, and his lips purple from the cold, Xue Guixiang felt an indescribable discomfort in her heart.
He's just a kid, what can he do?
If I had any other options, I wouldn't live under my uncle and aunt's roof, having to depend on others for my life. I could tell what kind of life the children were living in my uncle's house just by looking at their clothes.
There were also Xue Nan and Xue Rong. The two girls had faces that were so dirty that there wasn't even a clean spot. Their clothes exposed their belly buttons, and their hair was messy, looking like beggars on the street.
She didn't feel sad about the death of the two adults, but the children were still young and they couldn't let their useless father kill them!
Xue Guixiang's heart felt like a piece of it had been dug out, and it ached violently.
After a while, she spoke weakly: "I still have 500 yuan, you can pay off your gambling debt first, but this money is a loan from me, you have to write me an IOU..."
"Sister, you are my family's savior. Don't worry, I will make Guibao pay you back. I will write you an IOU now!"
…
Xue Guixiang hid her money in a rented house in the county town. She went to the county town again, put the five hundred yuan in her pocket, and returned to Xue Guibao's house.
Sun Junqiao took the money and cried and laughed with gratitude.
After all this trouble, it was almost noon, so Xue Guixiang didn't delay any longer and hurried back to the village.
As soon as she left, Sun Junqiao boiled a pot of water and steamed the fish and meat she had brought for the grave. The two girls watched by the stove with eager eyes, their hungry stomachs already impatient for the meat.
After a while, the meat was steamed. Sun Junqiao put the fish and meat into a basin. The children brought it into the house and began to eat it voraciously.
Xue Dong also took a small piece, but there was too little meat, so he gave the rest to his two younger sisters.
He had just picked up the meat and had no time to eat it when Xue Guibao came back from outside.
When Xue Guibao saw the meat, he pounced on it like a hungry wolf, grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.
Sun Junqiao hit him hard on the head with a spatula, swearing through gritted teeth, "You damn bastard! I've lent you the money, why don't you go and make up for it! I'm telling you, if you lose again this time, we'll all jump into the river!"
Xue Guibao said flatteringly: "This time I can not only win back what I lost, but also make a lot of money. After I make this money, I will retire from the business!"
