Chapter 4 Remember to take the blame
When you have money, you should spend it.
Xie Lingjiao took the banknotes and bought a lot.
I bought a lot of snacks for myself, winter clothes for my parents, and school supplies for my brothers. In addition, I bought a piece of cloth for sister Xiaocao as a future wedding gift.
Oh, and my third cousin.
Xie Lingjiao also bought her a snack and planned to eat it together next time she went out to play.
"Well, that's almost it. Let's do this for today."
Xie Lingjiao bought another backpack. My brother and I carried one each on our backs, then loaded up everything and went to their favorite restaurant for a good meal.
"Are you full?"
Xie Lingjiao wiped her mouth and paid the bill, not forgetting to ask her brother if he was full, "If not, just order more!"
"No need."
Xie Chi ate a lot and was full.
Walking out of the restaurant, the sun gradually sets in the west.
"Haha -" After eating and drinking, Xie Lingjiao yawned as sleepiness swept over her, "It's getting late, let's find an inn to sleep in and go back tomorrow morning."
Xie Chi:!
Staying up all night?
If his sister really did this, her mother would beat him to death... Thinking of his sister's character of doing whatever she wants and being difficult to persuade, Xie Chi's handsome little eyebrows knitted together.
"Sister..." Xie Chi still wanted to try to persuade.
But as soon as he said this, he saw his sister's face looking tired.
Thinking that his sister had not taken a break to dig ginseng to earn money, Xie Chi swallowed back the words he was about to say.
"What's wrong?"
Xie Lingjiao's eyelids were sticky and she yawned countless times, "Aren't you sleepy, Xiaochi?"
"Nothing."
Xie Chi shook his head. After taking the key to the room, I helped my drowsy sister wash up and go to bed. After that, I made a bed beside her bed, pulled up the quilt, put my hand on my lower abdomen, and lay down on my back to fall asleep.
the next day.
As soon as the ox cart stopped at the entrance of the village, Xie Lingjiao took the gift for her mother and hugged it in her hands.
He also asked his younger brother: "Xiao Chi, do you think my mother will beat me?"
"Is it useful if I lie down and cry first?"
"I haven't used this trick for a long time, and I don't know if my mother will still be afraid."
Xie Chi felt that his mother was not afraid.
She only gets angrier.
But there is really nothing that my sister can do about her.
Xie Lingjiao: "If mother punishes me to copy books again, Xiaochi, you will still help my sister, right? After all, you are my biological brother."
Dear brother...
Xie Chi's face was as steady as ever, but the tips of his ears couldn't help but turn red.
"Yeah." He responded softly. He thought to himself that even if he got scolded by his mother, he would still help his sister copy books.
Although it is a little difficult, he can imitate the handwriting just like his sister.
No one will notice it.
Wait until the doorstep.
What greeted the siblings was not their mother's anger, but a chaotic and messy home.
"It is only natural to pay back debts!"
A group of spectators gathered outside the yard.
The wooden gate was smashed.
Several strong thugs were holding weapons, and one of them was holding someone captive. If you take a closer look, isn't that the eldest cousin who is said to be preparing for the college examination at Fucheng Academy?
Was he in trouble?
In her last life, Xie Lingjiao relied on being low-key and cautious to survive for a thousand years, and became the super precious thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. Encountering such a scene, before her mind could react, her body had already habitually grabbed her brother and hid behind the mud-filled courtyard wall.
"Sister?"
Xie Chi lowered his voice very low. Although he is not very old, he is calmer and calmer than his sister.
He pointed to the side, "You can go in from the small courtyard of our room first."
In the name of making it easier for the eldest brother to study, their third room surrounded a small courtyard on the other side of the room.
A small door quietly opened above.
It is convenient for her to sneak out of the house and be lazy.
"If we go back now, will we be discovered?"
Xie Lingjiao hesitated. But when she thought that she had now returned to her original skills, it would be fine if she hid if anything happened.
No one can see it anyway.
"Then...you must hold my hand firmly."
"Never let go."
"Otherwise, the bad guys will find out. Did you hear that?"
The caution that had been carved into mycelium in her previous life made her voice extremely small.
Fortunately, he whispered in Xie Chi's ear.
Otherwise, I really can’t hear it.
"...I know, sister."
Xie Chi's hand was firmly held by his sister.
Even though she knew that others couldn't see her, she still habitually avoided people's sight.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Be careful.
Tiptoe.
It wasn't until she took her younger brother back to her small room that Xie Lingjiao resumed her normal breathing.
"Sister, I will grow up as soon as possible." Xie Chi gently patted his sister on the back and comforted her, "I will protect you from now on, you don't have to be afraid."
You don't understand.
This is called prudence and rigor.
Be careful with your ship!
Even the most cunning human being in the previous life said this, so it must be true!
Xie Lingjiao thought so, but she would not refuse her brother's kindness at this time.
She nodded seriously, squatted down and held her brother's little hand and looked at him, "Xiao Chi should eat more meat, vegetables and rice~ I will rely on you in the future, sister!"
"Yeah."
Xie Chi solemnly made a promise to his sister with a solemn face, "I will work hard to grow up and protect my sister for the rest of my life."
Her family's Xiaochi is young.
But Xie Lingjiao knew that he was a little man who kept his word.
Immediately his eyes turned red: "Well, I believe Xiaochi can do it!"
Woohoo~ Her little Chi is still so filial!
Grow up quickly.
From now on, I can do more work for my sister and take more responsibility.
Woohoo...
So touching.
"What is happening outside?"
The brother and sister were lying on the window, pushing the window open a small gap, and could barely see outside clearly.
Farm yard with rammed soil.
Almost everyone in the Xie family - except for the eldest brother and fourth cousin who were studying abroad, were all standing in the yard.
Dad and second uncle held shovels and sickles in their hands.
My mother and my second uncle each held a big bamboo pole.
The auntie looked so shocked that she collapsed in the uncle's arms, holding her handkerchief and crying: "We will give you money, please don't hurt my Zhang'er!"
The normally dignified woman looked embarrassed and stumbled to her knees before her breasts.
"Mom, I know you love Zhang'er the most! You won't just watch him suffer, right?"
This is true.
The most precious thing to her is her eldest cousin who is the best at reading in the family.
really.
It didn't take long for her breasts to nod.
Although there was a hint of hatred on her wrinkled face, she would not give up on her eldest cousin just because of this "little thing".
In a calm and old voice, he replied: "No matter how much money Zhang'er owes you, we will pay it back."
"Okay!"
The leading man took out a note with a smile, shook it open and said: "Fifty taels of silver, bring it."
Five——
Fifty taels! !
People in the hospital took a breath when they heard this number.
