Chapter 168



Xia Yongyong: "Third brother, you saw your nephew's situation. I had no choice. If I didn't lend him money to pay off his gambling debts, would I really watch those people get their hands and feet cut off?"

"I will pay you back as soon as my second brother has money. What's the point of you saying all this now? The most important thing right now is to arrange mother's funeral properly."

Xia Xiaohai: "Second brother, you are good at talking, but you don't even have money to arrange anything? My mother is not my own, my whole family should pay for it together."

"If you don't pay, I won't care. Even if someone stabs me in the back, it won't hit me alone."

The families were all poor and had no money, so they had no choice but to buy a nearly perfect coffin and bury the body hastily. They had no money for a wedding banquet.

Now the Xia family has become a laughing stock of the 꺶 family. There is no money to hold a banquet when the old mother passed away. At least you can serve some vegetarian dishes and the 꺶 family won't say anything.

Since they had already discussed it, Captain 꺶 was too lazy to get involved in other people's business. He took his cigarette stick and turned around and left. It was better to have less trouble than more.

This was the first time in the history of our village that a family had no money to hold a wedding banquet after their mother died. They would definitely become a laughing stock in the surrounding area.

Captain 꺶's guess turned out to be correct. Before nightfall, the neighboring 꺶 teams knew about it, and they laughed at us brothers.

Hu Guiqin said to Captain 꺶: "Boss, what do you think of what those people from the Xia family did? Isn't this bringing shame to our village? What were they doing before?"

Captain 꺶: "Alas, what can I do? There is no money in the account. Old man Xia borrowed 20 yuan from me before and he hasn't paid it back. There will definitely be disputes later."

Hu Guiqin: "Now that their mother has passed away, the three sons have to pool their money to pay for the coffin. No matter how you look at this, these three brothers are just too useless and too stingy."

Captain 꺶: "We can't interfere in other people's affairs. We just need to take care of our own children. We have three sons and one daughter. Except for the old man who got married, the rest of them haven't started families yet. Who can say for sure?"

Xia Guohao: "Dad, Mom, you two can go. As the eldest brother, I will take good care of my brothers and sisters. Although we brothers have no ability, at least we are not like those people in the old Xia family."

"Although we are farmers who work in the fields and although we are poor, we must remain strong and never bend our backs."

Xia Guofan, Xia Guochen: "Dad, Mom, my brother is right. We must work together to live a good life, but we must not let others laugh at us, and we must not have internal conflicts."

"Although I haven't read much, I have heard people say that brothers are stronger than gold. If we work together, our lives will get better and better."

Xia Linlin: "Dad, Mom, first brother, first sister-in-law, second brother, third brother, don't forget me. Although I am also a girl, I am also a member of this family."

Fang Qin, as the sister-in-law, was also very happy to hear the brothers talking. She also thought Guohao was a more down-to-earth person. Otherwise, as a girl from the town, she would not have married into the village if his family was so poor.

At first, her parents were very angry when they knew she had found a peasant as her partner. But later, when they saw that Guohao really loved her, they let it go. As parents, they all hope that their children will live a good life.

Her belly was full and she became pregnant a few months later. Ten months later she gave birth to a son. Now her baby is eight or nine months old and has learned to walk.

Captain: "Dad knows that you guys are good people. We don't want ungrateful people in our family. You three haven't married yet, and you haven't found a partner yet, so you better keep your eyes open. Don't bring back people like that."

Xia Guofan: "Dad, Mom, I like Du Xiaohua. Why don't you ask a matchmaker to go talk to her and see if she agrees. We all know each other well."

Hu Guiqin: "Oh! My dear son, why didn't you tell me earlier about the matter? I want to prepare everything tomorrow and ask the matchmaker to find out what's going on, okay?"

Xia Guofan: "Well, thank you, mom. I have liked her for a long time. Before, I was afraid that she would look down on me. We would be in the same village and would see each other every day. I was afraid that it would be awkward. Now I have thought it through and I have to get over this hurdle, otherwise she will never know that I am interested in her."

Fang Qin: "Second brother, although I have only been married here for a short time, I know Xiaohua quite well. She has a good personality, unlike the other girls in the village who don't know their own status and like to be arrogant."

Xia Guofan: "Thank you for your support, sister-in-law. I have more confidence now."

After Xia Guochen and his second brother finished speaking, he immediately raised his head and said, "Dad, Mom, brother, sister-in-law, I also have something to say."

Hu Guiqin: "Son, what do you want to say? Have you also set your sights on that girl? If so, I can find a matchmaker to go to your house and test the waters."

Xia Guochen: "Dad, Mom, I think it's Song Anhe, but I don't know if she likes me or not. Please ask Mom to find someone to ask for me."

"If they don't like me, I won't force it. After all, who doesn't want to find a good family? I also know that my family has many brothers and the conditions are not good."

Captain 꺶: "Second brother, third brother, and Linlin, don't underestimate yourselves. Our family is poor now, but who can predict the future?"

"Girl Yun, won't you teach us how to do side jobs starting tomorrow? If we succeed, our village will be the richest village nearby, and we won't have to worry about not being able to find a wife."

"Besides, our family can't afford a girl who wants to marry a rich man. At present, our family doesn't have the conditions. If our village is really lucky and makes money, we can repair the house and you brothers can have your own family."

"We won't be crowded together. After you all get married, you will definitely have to separate your families to avoid hurting the relationship between you brothers because of trivial matters. After the family is separated, it depends on your own abilities. If you want to live a good life, you have to work harder."

Fang Qin was very happy to hear that her two younger brothers were going to separate the family property after they got married. Her mother had talked to her about this problem before. If the brothers did not separate the family property, they would definitely have unpleasant quarrels over money.

Putting aside the other issues, the issue of cooking and housework is always a matter of arguing. You are afraid of doing too much, and she is also afraid of doing too much, and in the end, neither of you does anything.

If these things accumulate to a certain extent, they will definitely erupt like a volcano, so it is better to separate early and live separately. If you want to live a good life, you must be capable and diligent.
