Chapter 222: Do you want to care?
After winning the battle, Grandma He slept better at night, but what she didn't know was that plans couldn't change as fast as she did.
As soon as spring came, Grandma He asked someone to clear the back mountain and plant seeds, and He Zhengbei and his wife came to visit.
Mei Xue has been under close supervision by her grandmother recently and can't go anywhere. She can only stay at home and talk to Li Shuangshuang from time to time.
Both of them brought their children with them, so they had more topics to talk about than before.
"Xiaoxue, you guys are at home. Is Third Aunt at home?" He Zhengbei looked very haggard and his body was in a mess. Aunt Yong was not much better.
His eyes were red, and it was obvious that he had been tortured.
Mei Xue was shocked when she saw their appearance, "What happened, Uncle Zhengbei?"
Open the door immediately and let them in first.
"Oh, Xiaoxue." He Zhengbei sighed, his eyes red.
Aunt Yong couldn't bear it anymore. Since the day before yesterday, she had been begging everyone for help but failed to find a way out. She had already collapsed.
Now seeing Mei Xue speaking to her husband and wife in a kind voice, she couldn't help it.
"Wow, Xiaoxue, you must save my family and save my son." He knelt down and shouted to Mei Xue while crying.
The three children who were basking in the sun in the yard were suddenly woken up by the shock.
They all burst into tears.
Li Shuangshuang's daughter was fine, as she was held by her mother the whole time. But it was different for He Shipeng and He Shicheng. They fell asleep and were immediately frightened when someone yelled at them.
Mei Xue helped the man up.
She was a junior, so no matter what, Aunt Yong couldn't kneel down in front of her. "Aunt, you get up first. The child is scared. I'll comfort him first."
After pulling him up, he threw him directly into He Zhengbei's arms.
Mei Xue was a little unhappy. She had to coax the two boys for a long time after scaring them. She was the only one at home and her grandmother was not around. How could she coax two kids?
Aunt Yong was frightened by Mei Xue's pulling and throwing, but she also heard the children crying, and wanted to go forward to help embarrassedly, but was stopped by He Zhengbei.
"Don't meddle in other people's business. Leave it to Xiaoxue." He was also anxious, but he knew the importance of the matter better.
Fortunately, the two children were well behaved and were sleeping. After coaxing them for a while, they fell asleep again.
Only then did Mei Xue turn her gaze to the two of them. "What's the matter with Uncle Zhengbei and Auntie coming here?" she asked in a much softer voice.
He Zhengbei held back his wife who was about to cry, "Xiaoxue, uncle has no choice but to come to your house for help. This is what's going on."
So He Zhengbei told what he had experienced in the past few days.
It turned out that He Anyong had an accident in the town.
He had been wandering around the town, gathering a group of people, and it was because of this group of people that he got into trouble.
The man's eyes were blinded and now people have reported it to the police, so he was arrested. We have been cracking down hard in recent years, and if we don't find a way to get the man out, he will go to jail.
Three days have passed since the accident. He has begged everyone and everyone, and asked many people for help, but in the end no one stood up to help him.
Even though he was the eldest brother in the family, he was driven out after he went to the house and told them about this. In a word, don't even think about being related to their family because it's embarrassing.
His old mother also stood on the side of his eldest brother, saying that there would be no grandson like Yongzi in the future.
That’s her grandson and her eldest brother’s nephew, but what about them?
His eldest brother, who was the most promising one in the family, didn't help him, and he really had no idea what to do.
Fortunately, there were two brothers in Yongzi's group who had consciences. They came to him and told him that as long as he paid money, the matter would be settled privately.
After asking clearly how much money was needed, he borrowed from all his relatives and friends, but he still couldn't borrow much.
And his eldest brother didn't even enter the door the second time.
He didn't even think about how much Yongzi had helped him before the accident.
The other party asked for ten thousand yuan right away, but the family had no way to afford it. After discussion, they finally agreed to pay five thousand yuan in compensation, or they would go to jail.
Even if they can't afford it, they have to find a way.
In the end, I just wanted to come back and ask Third Aunt and Mei Xue for pity.
After listening to this, Mei Xue and Li Shuangshuang looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes. Five thousand yuan was not a small amount, and it was not something that ordinary people could afford.
Mei Xue was not worried about the money. She had the money, but why should she lend it to them?
She had no say on how much trouble would arise if she lent the money to them.
"Then why did He Anyong beat others?" Mei Xue was most concerned about this. If that person was not a real gangster, then...
"Why else? It's just for brotherhood. One of his friends was beaten up by the other party, and then he came to him for help. Do you think he is stupid? Why did he do it himself?" Aunt Yong was very resentful about these things.
"That's good. Something happened and that person disappeared. We found his house and the door was closed. Woohoo, my little Yong, why are you so stupid?" After saying that, Aunt Yong started howling again.
He Zhengbei kept watching Mei Xue's face, and when he saw her expression downturn, he immediately covered his wife's mouth with his hand.
"Shut up. Can't you see there are three children here?" He was also anxious, but he was better at reading people's expressions.
After the wailing voice stopped, Mei Xue breathed a sigh of relief. "I can't make decisions about family matters. I don't know how much money there is at home. I'll go call grandma back."
Mei Xue really couldn't make up her mind about this matter.
"Okay, okay, okay, thank you Xiaoxue. Sorry to bother you, Xiaoxue. I'll help take care of the child for you." He Zhengbei immediately put on a smile when he heard that Third Aunt was coming.
"It's okay, the children are all asleep. Just stop crying, Aunt Yong." Mei Xue said, glaring at Aunt Yong who was sitting on the ground.
"Shuangshuang, please help me look after the child. I'm going to the back mountain to call grandma." She was worried about letting them look after the child.
"Okay, go ahead. I'll push the children back into the house. It's windy outside." Li Shuangshuang agreed.
Mei Xue went to the back mountain to find her grandmother and told her about this. When Grandma He heard that it would cost five thousand yuan, her face wrinkled into a frown.
"This money cannot be lent. Once we ask for it, people in the village will come to us for money, no matter how much or how little. Not to mention how much money it is, when can we get it back?" Grandma He was very worried.
"Should we take care of this matter?" If we don't, the man will have to go to jail, and it will not be good if this matter gets out.
Mei Xue looked at her grandmother's embarrassed expression and said, "Why not let them sell the land?" It just so happens that the family wants to buy a new one.
"That's a good idea. How about this? They have a large family and a lot of fields and land. We don't want the land, but we can buy it back. We can redeem it when they have money in the future."
There is no collateral, and her family's money is not something that comes from the wind. Who would be willing to lend such a large sum of money?
Five thousand yuan is several years' income for some people. Even for An Wen now, it is a year's income.
She wouldn't feel at ease unless she offered something to pay for it.
