"Don't worry about him," she rolled her eyes, "He's either here to ask for money or to drink. It looks like he doesn't attract anyone's attention."
Soong Yuanhan took a look, did the sun really rise from the west today? His sister, who had always been lazy and stupid, now straightened her back and no longer put him, her brother, in her eyes.
However, for his own purposes, he still came over with an embarrassed smile and said, "As your big brother, I won't invite you to come over."
Xijiao impatiently turned around and glanced at him. "If I don't invite you, given how big the courtyard is, can't you still accommodate your big brother?"
Soong Yuanhan was angry enough at her words, but he suppressed the anger in his heart and smiled: "It's only right that little sister doesn't have time to greet me. "However, I have a serious matter to attend to today. I would like to ask you to lend me five copper coins. I will return it to you in two days."
Soong Xijiao sneered. She knew that her big brother's words were like farts. The money she had borrowed previously had never been repaid at all. And the first thing she said was money, which was almost all of the money she had painstakingly saved over the past few days.
However, even if there was, she would definitely not give him a word.
"No money," she threw out the word with a straight face.
He didn't expect that his previously stupid, stupid, and weak sister would one day dare to contradict him. Even if he forced her to marry before and asked for money from her, she would only cry and never resist. Now, she actually dared to talk to him like this.
"How come you don't have money? I heard that two days ago, you went to the market to sell Bamboo Rat's meat. You earned quite a bit!"
Oh, so it was like this. Before she came here to borrow money, she tested her foundation and came here specifically because she knew that she had made a profit.
What Soong Xijiao did not know was that the cold eating Bamboo Rat she made was far more popular than she had expected. Not only was there a huge crowd during the day of selling, there would even be someone who would take the money to set up the stall for the next few days. Those people had no choice but to come in high spirits and return disappointed. She did not know that the discussions after meals in the city these few days were all made by her that day. Soong Yuanhan only needed to walk around this place once to know that she was rich.
"But I used all this money to buy some firewood, oil, salt, and repair houses. There's not a single one left." She spread out her hands and regretfully told her brother.
Soong Yuanhan pulled a long face, "It's all gone, how could it be possible? Don't lie to me, I know it's not easy for you, but my child had a sudden fever this morning, and there's not a penny left in the house. That was a human life, what do you think we should do? "
At this moment, Xijiao hesitated. Lives were hanging by a thread, so she could not decline this matter.
At this time, Shed, who had been hiding behind him, pulled at her skirt and said to him, "Mother, I just saw uncle's family's Silly playing with the other children. His spirit is really good, he doesn't seem to be sick at all."
This time, Soong Xijiao immediately understood. The so-called fever and sickness were all excuses used by her brother to cheat money.
She turned around and looked at Soong Yuanhan. The meaning in her eyes was obvious.
Hearing this, Soong Yuanhan's trick was immediately exposed. At that time, he shouted at Shed: "You dead child, what nonsense are you spouting? Did you have to bear the burden of a human life? Little sister, if you believe in a child you picked up, you can't not trust your own brother, who is your nephew! "
"Fine," Xijiao sighed. "Since you want to borrow money, it won't be difficult for you to borrow more after you've borrowed some. You should pay me back the money you borrowed before."
During this period of time, she had roughly calculated according to her memories. Including the previous loan to Soong Yuanhan, she had invested at least a few hundred dollars into the house.
Soong Yuanhan looked at Xijiao in shock, unable to believe his ears, "You want me to return the money? After a few days of not seeing each other, your courage has increased quite a bit! "
As he spoke, he casually slapped her in the face.
"I'm telling you, you'd better give me the money. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless!" Saying up to here, he also pushed down the chestnut on the ground.
Xijiao only felt her face lose the sense of touch at first, followed by a burning pain. Seeing that he was being bullied, she quickly rushed over and carefully protected him from the attacks. She angrily glared at him and roared: "Are you crazy? To even beat a child, you're not afraid of retribution! "
The man couldn't care so much anymore. With the help of the alcohol, he swaggered over to Xijiao, bent down to touch her, took the purse from her waist, weighed it, and was not only happy about it.
"Isn't there so much more? Sister really knows how to lie. " He happily tied the money belt around his waist and turned around to leave.
"Return the money to me!"
Soong Xijiao stood up shakily. "I'm telling you, this is robbery. I'm going to sue you in the government!"
Hearing about the government, Soong Yuanhan jumped up like a dog that had its tail stepped on, his eyes were wide open as he kicked towards her stomach.
"Are you going to sue me? "I tell you, if you really go to the magistrate court, I'll beat you to death!"
He could only hate himself for being a weak girl, being unable to protect his child, protecting himself, and could only glare at him with eyes full of bone-piercing hatred. Soong Yuanhan was scared by this and didn't stay any longer as he took the money and walked out, proudly saying, "I'm not robbing you, I'm just asking for your loan."
In the evening, Zhong Chun came back from the outside and entered the yard. What he saw was his wife and Shed sitting on the ground, both of them looking miserable.
When Zhong Chun saw the scene in front of him, he quickly walked over and carried Soong Xijiao and Shed onto the bed.
"How about it? Let me see where your injuries are located?" As he spoke, he was about to untie Soong Xijiao's belt and check what was going on.
Soong Xijiao grabbed his hand hastily, her cheeks blushing. "I'm fine. He's my brother after all, and he knows how to act. Moreover, he only wants to snatch money, he doesn't have any intention of harming anyone."
When Zhong Chun heard this, his face turned dark, "Are you still arguing on his behalf?"
Soong Xijiao was stunned for a moment. "I just wanted to tell you not to worry!"
What's more, his appearance made her completely incoherent with his words!
She pointed at Zhong Chun's hand, which was still on her waist, in embarrassment.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Chun said without a care, "What time is it? You're stuck on this! Furthermore, we are husband and wife. " However, Soong Xijiao was very worried for Shed, so she quickly said,
"Go check on Chestnut. As an adult, I am fine. How can a child take this!" Soong Xijiao was upset when she heard that. It was impossible for her original body to say such words.
