Granny Sun hummed indifferently, âWhat do I care how the Xiao Familyâs three sons live? Are you, the Zhang Family, going to be generous and support them?
Donât show off!â
Aunt Zhangâs face turned red with anger.
Early in the morning, Granny Sun brought people to Xiao Familyâs house to demand debt repayment. The noise attracted more than a dozen people outside the courtyard fence. Finally, a villager, Qian Youfa, couldnât stand it any longer, âGranny Sun, donât bully Aunt Zhang. Sheâs just trying to help. Outsiders canât support others. As for you, the Xiao Family owes you a little over four taels. The Xiaoâs house may be broken, but it comes with such a large yard, which should be worth ten to twenty taels. You want to take it away for just a little over four taels? Your conscience must have been eaten by dogs!â
âExactly.â someone echoed, âThe Xiao Family brothers have suffered enough misfortune. The Xiao Familyâs second son has green skin, nobody knows whether he can make it or not. The Xiao Family has no farmland, and if you take their house, youâre deliberately trying to kill them!â
Liu Xiaohong, who originally wanted to speak up for Granny Sun, saw everyoneâs dissatisfaction and didnât dare to interject.
Granny Sun couldnât stand this, âWhat do you mean Iâm trying to kill them or I have no conscience? Everyone, listen, it was Xiao Yishan who said that everything was negotiable except involving Su Qingyue. Xiao Yishan, you choose to mortgage your house or your wife!â
Su Qingyue really wanted to slap Granny Sun a few times. But she did owe her money, and since she had no money to repay, she could only bear with it for now. She had already thought of a way to repay the debt.
Hearing Granny Sun asking her second brother to choose and not saying anything yet, Su Qingyue temporarily remained silent.
Xiao Yishan raised his head with difficulty and glanced at Xiao Yuchuan, âThird Brother, Iâm sorry for you and Fourth Brother.â
His words obviously meant that they didnât want the house anymore.
Xiao Yuchuan looked pained, âSecond Brother, donât say that. Itâs okay if we donât have the house, as long as our wives are with us.â He reached out and grabbed Su Qingyueâs hand, holding it tightly, âWife, donât worry. If we lose our house, we can⦠we can live in a mountain cave.â
âI know thereâs a cave not far from the village on the mountain. Our family can live there temporarilyâ¦â Xiao Yishan showed a smile-like grimace to Su
Qingyue with a stiff face, and his beard made him still look serious and rigid.
But Su Qingyueâs heart was warmed by the words of him and Chuan.
These two men⦠would rather lose their home than use her to pay off debts.
In the secondary bedroom, Xiao Qinghe didnât know about his brothersâ decision. His elegant voice came through, âSecond Brother, Third Brother, we have to protect Qingyue, even if it costs our lives.â
Su Qingyueâs heart was filled with emotion. Even the Xiao Familyâs fourth son was so kind to her. She smiled and said, âWhy live in a mountain cave?
Wouldnât it be better to find a broken temple to live in?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xiao Yishanâs eyes were moist. Yueâer was willing to share the hardships of the Xiao Family. No, he was incapable. The Xiao Family had never given her a good life, âGranny Sun, take the houseâ¦â Before he could finish, Su Qingyue interrupted him, âIsnât it just five taels of silver? Iâll pay it back.â
Granny Sun was anxious. It wasnât just five taels, Xiao Yishan was going to use the house to pay off the debt, which was worth ten or twenty taels! She also felt that taking the Xiao Familyâs house was a bit too much, but that little conscience was not as important as money. Her heart was completely set on money, âGive it up, Su Qingyue. Youâre a bought wife without even decent clothes.. Where would you get the money to repay?â
