Xia Li said: ”Grandma, mother and brother just finished eating, and are now resting in the room. Why are you here?”
”Good grandson, daughter, yesterday I heard your second aunt say that your First Aunt and your first uncle moved all the tables and chairs in your house away, causing you to not even have a bed to rest on. Grandma specifically came over to see if there's anything else you need, so you can just ask Granny for it. ”
Mrs Zhao said, slapped her thigh in anger, ”Your uncle's family is really too insensible.”
”It's fine, Grandma. This was originally Uncle's family property. We still live in his house, so we're already very embarrassed. It's only right that they take it away.”
Xia Li smiled as he comforted Madame Zhao.
After all, she has added a fat grandson to our old Li Family, so she's a little overbearing. Just bear with it, you guys can pass, don't lower yourself to her. ”
Mrs Zhao patted Xia Li's shoulders and said with a smile.
”Grandmother, don't worry. We will endure until First Aunt comes. We won't make things difficult for you in the middle of it.”
Xia Li replied with a smile, but then automatically kept a distance from Lady Zhao.
Mrs Zhao looked at her estranged granddaughter. Her smile was really awkward, but she still braced herself and said.
”Granny, one more word. Can you really pay back the debt that your scoundrel dad owed you?” If they still don't go, will they come to the Li Village to beg others? ”
You also know that your grandma's family is all simple and honest, and they are most afraid of entangling themselves with the officials and gamblers. Everyone knows that the village's casino boss, Yang Shen Xian, has a good relationship with the county magistrate.
As Mrs Zhao spoke, a trace of fear appeared on her face.
Hearing Mrs Zhao's words, Xia Li's heart went through Xia Manjiang's motions one hundred times, feeling guilty. She swore to wait until she had collected enough money, and then bring her family away, no longer scaring anyone in the Li Family.
”Grandma, don't worry. We will definitely pay back the debt that my father owes us. If we don't pay it back, then our entire family will leave on our own. We won't implicate you and your family.”
Xia Li said sincerely.
”Good granddaughter, don't blame your grandmother for being ruthless. Your grandmother is truly afraid. This is a silver tael that your grandmother has in her possession. Take it. Buy some delicious nourishment for your mother and younger brother.”
Mrs Zhao said as she took out a piece of crushed silver from her pocket and stuffed it into Xia Li's hands.
”Grandmother, please take it back. This is money that you saved for your living expenses. How can we take it!?”
