Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 123

Seeing that she was silent, Tao Qingnian knew that his words had worked.In her impression, Xia Junyan has always been that quiet big girl, soft-tempered and timid, always hiding in her room to embroider.When I went to Xia's house before, father Xia only needed to reprimand him a few words, and he was immediately obedient.

Tao Qingnian looked as if he was already in charge of the shopkeeper, pointed at Qian Gui and told, "What are you doing waiting, why don't you close the shop quickly! You don't need to come here tomorrow, pay the monthly payment and go home!"

Qian Gui squinted at the roof, shook one leg, and hummed a little tune he heard from nowhere. He looked like a street gangster, but he didn't move.Chang Sheng acted as if he hadn't heard it, sitting alone on the side, scratching the abacus one after another.

Seeing that these two people ignored his words, Tao Qingnian was very annoyed, "Look at these guys you recruited! A gangster and a young child, how can they look good! You still claim to be the shopkeeper. buddy?"

Xia Junyan had seen enough excitement, and secretly praised Qian Gui's approach. This kid is somewhat reliable.

"Actually, there is a question I've always wanted to ask my uncle."

"I'll ask any questions when I get home. The most important thing now is to pack up quickly!"

Xia Junyan smiled and said, "Going home, which one should I go to? Tao's? Or Xia's?"

Tao Qingnian was annoyed: "What kind of bastard talk is this! The Tao family and the Xia family are very different to you!"

"Of course there is." Xia Junyan sat down slowly. She didn't come to listen to Tao Qingnian's lecture. She poured herself another cup of tea, took a sip, and then said, "If it is really according to what uncle said Said, the Tao family and Xia family don’t need to separate, so when my father owed the money from the gambling house, the Tao family should also pay back. Or, when there is money owed, the Tao family and the Xia family are two families; Now that we understand the matter, the Tao family and the Xia family are one family again?"

This is simply a slap in the face!
Tao Qingnian's face turned blue and white, and the hands in his sleeves trembled uncontrollably.He didn't know what his family did when they learned that the Xia family owed a huge amount of money, but it was a gambling debt, and it is human nature to alienate a family who is fond of gambling!He also persuaded his younger sister to reconcile, but she didn't listen to him at all, so what could he do.

"Or, after my parents died, when I was forced by the gambling house Liu Wu to jump into the river and commit suicide, the Tao family and the Xia family were two families. Is it a family?"

"Or when I was about to starve to death in order to pay off my debts, and I spent all day digging wild vegetables on the mountain, or when Mrs. An next door gave me two steamed buns because she couldn't see it, I barely survived. The Tao family and the Xia family are two families; When we opened the shop, the Tao family and the Xia family were one family again?"

Xia Junyan gently put down the teacup, with an inexplicable smile on her face: "Uncle, your family didn't lack those two steamed buns at that time, right?"

Even though he was afraid of interacting with relatives who had gambling debts, since the death of Miss Xia's parents, the Tao family has no contact with Xia's family. This relationship is completely severed!Regardless of whether he was going to help pay off the debt or not, even when Miss Xia was dying of hunger, this uncle never came to care about her.Even if he is afraid of being involved in gambling debts by the Xia family, is it so difficult to get some food while others are not paying attention?In ancient times, there was no monitoring equipment like modern times. Can you still monitor every move at the door of Xia's house 24 hours a day?At the beginning, Xia Junyan ran up and down the mountain, but Liu Wu didn't see any movement.
