"What? Debt?"
It was obvious that the clan leader didn't know about this, and Xue Wangjun snorted coldly again.
They learned about this from Xiaobao. Biaozi was a gambling addict and owed the casino three hundred thousand yuan. Ma Xiu'e couldn't pay it back, so she set her sights on the Xue family.
"At first, they just wanted to steal things from my house to buy the products, but later they went too far and brought the creditor directly to my house! It was obvious that they wanted me to pay back the 300,000 yuan for them and their son."
The patriarch was speechless and remained silent, not daring to respond.
Xue Wangjun continued, "I still have two little kids at home, and that group of people rushed in and openly said they wanted to sell my children to human traffickers. Do you still think I should help them?"
"...Wangjun, we wrongly blamed you for this matter." The clan leader sighed, "You don't know how she acted when she came back. She squatted at the entrance of the village and made a scene. People in the surrounding villages knew about it."
"Humph, justice is in the hearts of the people. If Ma Xiu'e insists on arguing with me, then I am not afraid!"
The clan leader puts the overall situation first and hopes to keep the situation peaceful.
"I will help you with this matter, and you can just make good money in the city. You are right, this kind of gambler should not be helped, and I will also make it clear to the other elders in the village."
"Thank you, Chief."
After returning home, Xue Wangjun told this incident to Jiang Qiuyu and Xu Suzhen. Jiang Qiuyu was scooping soup when she got angry and threw the spoon into the pot.
"What do you mean, if we don't help, it's our fault?! This is too much!"
Xu Suzhen even stood up and slammed the table, "I'm going to pack up and go back to the village, I'm going to have a good talk with them!"
"Mom, wife, don't worry. I have already settled the matter in the village. Let's just live our own lives well." Xue Wangjun hugged his wife and coaxed her for a long time before he got Jiang Qiuyu to smile.
If Jiang Qiuyu wasn't afraid that her dark face would scare Xue Jiayu, she would have kept it dark.
Xue Jiayu sat in the cradle and listened to their conversation very carefully.
Xu Suzhen frowned, "But the clan leader said that everyone in the surrounding villages knows about this, which would ruin our family's reputation."
"So what if she's bad? Can reputation make a living?" Xue Wangjun didn't care. He took one look at his precious daughter and felt that having a child was enough for him.
But Xu Suzhen disagreed, "That's not the way it should be. Little Bao is about to turn one, and we have to go back to our hometown to hold a birthday party. If no one comes to the party, how will people look at our Xue family?"
Speaking of the first birthday party, Xue Jiayu felt very touched again.
In the original book, at the one-year-old party, she could only watch Ying Huanyu being coaxed and pampered by everyone, while she, who was also one year old, was carried around by Li Minxue to do work.
If Li Minxue was not satisfied with her work or did not get paid enough, she would take it out on her and pinch her arms until they were bruised.
At Ying Huanyu's first birthday party, Li Minxue sneaked into the venue as a kitchen helper and saw her baby daughter. After returning, she was angry that she could not keep her daughter by her side, and spilled the scalding hot soup on her legs on the pretext that the soup was not held steadily.
Until his death, there was a large ugly burn scar on his leg.
So she was very resistant to the one-year-old birthday party and thought it would be better not to hold it if possible.
[Mom and Dad, I don’t want to have a first birthday party! ]
[Li Minxue wants to pour hot soup on me at the first birthday party.]
【Xiaobao will be in great pain】
Jiang Qiuyi and Xue Wangjun looked at each other and became furious.
If anyone dares to bully Xiaobao, they will definitely pay him back a hundredfold! Li Minxue, right? If you want to touch Xiaobao, you have to step over their bodies first.
Although they really wanted to follow Xiaobao's wishes and not hold a birthday party or hold it in the city, they could not resist the relatives from their hometown calling Xu Suzhen from time to time.
"Suzhen, isn't your girl's one-year-old birthday party coming up soon? Are you planning on having it?"
"Last time you said you didn't favor boys over girls. Why don't you do it for the girl?"
"Suzhen, you just can't give up. You just want a boy."
"You feel embarrassed, don't you? You don't dare to come back to do it."
Every sarcastic remark stabbed into Xu Suzhen's heart like a knife, but she didn't want to cause any more trouble for her son and daughter-in-law, so she just listened to them herself and laughed it off when the old sisters from the same village asked about them.
Little did he know that Jiang Qiuyu saw everything.
After coaxing Xiaobao to sleep, Jiang Qiuyu discussed with Xue Wangjun that they still had to go back to the village to hold a one-year-old birthday party.
"We left before the full moon banquet was over last time, and many people criticized Mom. If we don't go back for the one-year-old banquet this time, Mom won't be able to hold her head up in the village anymore."
Xue Wangjun was looking at a photo of Xue Jiayu. When he heard this, he immediately dropped the photo and ran to his wife, hugging her with emotion.
"Wife, you are so considerate. I, Xue Wangjun, have never been so lucky to marry a wife as good as you in my life."
"screw you."
Jiang Qiuyi pushed Xue Wangjun away coquettishly, and said seriously after a moment: "However, we must also pay attention to Xiaobao's words. We must be on guard against Li Minxue, as well as Li Minxue's mother."
"Well, we can go back and forth in one day, go in the morning and come back in the evening. With Boss Zhan and the others, there will be two more people to help look after Xiaobao, so there will be no problem."
Jiang Qiuyi nodded gently, "I hope so."
After deciding to return to the village to hold the one-year-old birthday party, Jiang Qiuyi deliberately "revealed" the news to Xue Jiayu while breastfeeding.
"You're going to be one year old soon. Mommy is going to buy you the prettiest dress today. You can wear it when we return to the village for the one-year-old party."
Xue Jiayu was drinking milk in big gulps. She stopped sucking when she heard this and looked at her with her big eyes like black grapes in confusion.
[Didn't you promise me not to go back to the village to hold the first birthday party? ]
Jiang Qiuyi sighed, but couldn't talk to her directly, so she could only talk to herself: "This matter is a knot in grandma's heart, and now others are ridiculing grandma because of it. Xiaobao, be good, let's fight for grandma."
The little baby frowned.
[Oh, okay, grandma has only one shortcoming in her life, which is her face, but since she is old, I will let her go.]
After Xiaobao agreed, Jiang Qiuyu immediately asked Jiang Peirong to go to the mall to pick out clothes for Xue Jiayu to wear for her first birthday party.
Jiang Peirong happened to be resting at home today. Her eyes lit up when she heard about going shopping, but their expression dimmed again after one look upstairs.
"That's fine with me, but I'll have to ask my son."
If Zhan Nanqi doesn't want to go out, she has to stay at home.
Jiang Peirong went upstairs to find Zhan Nanqi with the mentality of giving it a try, and sure enough, he was reading some abstruse books in the study again.
Zhan Aoxiang bought those books to kill time, but Zhan Aoxiang only glanced at them while Zhan Nanqi had almost finished reading them.
"Nanqi," Jiang Peirong stood at the door of the study and rubbed her hands, "Mom wants to discuss something with you."
As she expected, Zhan Nanqi didn't react at all, and didn't even look up.
Jiang Peirong continued to speak, "Aunt Jiang asked us to go buy clothes for Jiayu and Xiaobao. Do you want to go?"
No answer.
Jiang Peirong had no choice but to give up. Just as she turned to leave, she suddenly heard a "hmm".
