Chapter 1995： Meet (2/2)

Murong Xuan saw his mother's appearance, and his heart became clear. It seemed that this person was their cousin in all likelihood.

Xiao Manan suddenly said, "Xiao Lishen, come here."

Xiao Lishen was stunned for a moment, although he didn't know why the lady called him suddenly, but seeing the smile on her face, he immediately let go of his guard, walked over slowly, and called out obediently, "Hello, Madam. "

"Alas." Xiao Manan smiled and said, "Good boy, how are your family members?"

Xiao Lishen said: "They are in good health."

"Then what does your family do for a living now? How's your life going?"

Why does this lady care so much about the people in his family?

Although he was puzzled, Xiao Lishen said obediently: "The family now relies on farming for a living, and the life is the same as the rest of the village."

Xiao Manan heard what Murong Lingran had said before seeing Xiao Lishen, he was wearing about the same clothes as rags, and asked, "Can you eat enough? Dress warmly?"

Xiao Lishen shook his head: "I had enough to eat a few years ago, but I haven't eaten enough in the past two years, and I can't wear warm clothes anymore."

Xiao Manan said excitedly: "Why is this?"

"It's like this. A few years ago, the family was very rich, but Grandpa didn't know what was going on, he suddenly became addicted to gambling, and lost all the money in the family overnight. Grandpa and several uncles In order to prevent Grandpa from being sold to the mine as a coolie, they sold iron from the frying pan and sold their property, and redeemed Grandpa from the casino. Since then, the family has only two acres of farmland left. To support all the people in the family, after paying the tax, it is really not enough to eat."

How could an old man suddenly become addicted to gambling?

Murong asked: "Do you go out to work with your father and some uncles? If you go out to work, it will probably add a lot of income to the family, right?"
