C72 (1/2)

People in this town liked to surf the internet and watch fun. They all knew about Tang Xiao Ai, but no one would go to her house to test her.

Those who liked to go online and watch entertainment were mostly of the younger generation. They all avoided Tang Xiao Ai's father, Tang Huan. Who would be willing to be unlucky during the new year?

Tang Huan had a notorious reputation in the town. She loved to gamble, loved to drink, and had a short temper. In the past, she often told people about fighting and not paying off their debts. In any case, no one in the town wanted to have anything to do with her unless he had money in his pocket and his hands were itchy.

As long as they heard that his daughter or son sent back medical fees to their mother, the gamblers would immediately take action. The old gamblers had to win all the money they had in their hands, and even make him owe a lot of money before he would stop.

With such a father, there was no way she could blame him.

Because her mother didn't complain at all. As her daughter, what could she do?

However, whenever her father took out her mother's medical fees to gamble, Tang Xiaoyi would get angry. At this time, Tang Huan would panic.

This was because the moment her gentle daughter got angry, the entire world would be turned upside down. The most furious Tang Xiao Yi had ever been was to pull her mother and brother away, preparing to leave this house.

However, it was filled with strong feelings for her. Especially when her mother was soft-hearted to her father who had admitted her wrongs. Tang Xiaoyi could do nothing but feel heartache. She knew that she could not be so heartless to part with her blood relatives.

And now, because Tang Huan had recently owed a large sum of money, she was very restrained and didn't go out to gamble anymore. She spent her days at home taking care of the garden and the chickens and ducks, purchasing New Year's gifts.

”Sis, you only stayed at home for three days?” Tang Wen asked in surprise.

”It's already a great fortune to be able to come back and spend New Year's Eve with you.” Tang Xiao Ai looked out the window at the vegetable garden where her father was digging up cabbage. She lowered her voice and said, ”Right now, I …” There is no freedom, at least until all the debts have been paid, be subject to the company's arrangements. ”

”I... ”I will make money for you in the future …” When Tang Wen heard this, his heart couldn't help but ache. He could be considered half a man, since it had always been his elder sister who took care of him. When would it ever be his turn to protect the entire family?

”Shh, don't let Mommy and the others know.” When Tang Xiaoyi heard the commotion, she immediately turned to her younger brother and said.

”Little Ai, first, drink some old chicken soup to warm up your body.” His mother, Wang Xueqin, came in with a steaming bowl of chicken soup and said with a smile, ”You and your brother are still the same as before, we just stick together and talk nonstop.”

”Wen Zheng, help daddy wash the vegetables.” His mother said as she sent Tang Wen away.

Watching her son walk out the door, the smile on Wang Xueqin's face slowly disappeared.

”Mom, you have to go to the hospital regularly for checkups. Also …”

”Little Love, tell Mommy the truth.” Wang Xueqin interrupted Tang Xiao Ai's words. With a face full of worry, she asked, ”Where did the money come from?”

”I borrowed some from a friend, Mom. Did you know that? ”Among the students of the Academy of Arts, the one thing they lack the least is money.” Tang Xiaoyi smiled and said, ”Once, a roommate bought a bag, how much do you think it was? Six hundred thousand! ”

”Little Love, don't lie to Mommy.” Wang Xueqin sighed, ”Mom has told you since you were young that a prince loves money, but you can't be like your father …”

”Mom, I didn't steal, I didn't steal, and I don't gamble.” Tang Xiaoyi immediately interrupted her mother.

”I've always been thinking, if I were to give up your happiness because of that unrepentant old fogey, I … ”I would rather end this with him and end all of this, than to implicate all of you …” Wang Xueqin knew that she shouldn't speak such depressing words on the new year's eve, but she was really worried, especially for her daughter. She had already suffered a lot since she was young.
