Chapter 79
Xie Xiuwen took it with a calm face, then roughly swept the tent, and then took out a few pieces of broken silver from the money box, and weighed it in his hand, reckoning it was about three taels.

"Third brother, take these and treat them as happy money from us during the Chinese New Year."

Xie Lao San's eyes widened: "No, no, this is too much!"

The second brother has already given it to him once, so why ask for so much more!

"You can take it if I give it to you. You have worked hard these past few months. Besides you, the second uncle and Xie Laifu also have it. So, just wait a moment."

Xie Xiuwen took out a scale to weigh it, and then took out a piece of broken silver worth two taels: "I have to trouble my third brother to work hard and send it to Laifu's family."

"OK, no problem."

Xie Laosan didn't have so many twists and turns in his mind, and he was also very happy to see his second brother being generous.

And in the past few months, he has also noticed it, knowing that this stewed vegetable restaurant can earn money, at least the second brother will not have to worry about the cost of studying, and he no longer needs to always depend on A Niang's face to live.

"Wait a moment!"

Xie Xiuwen stopped him again, shook his head and laughed, "It's the Chinese New Year, so you can't go there empty-handed."

After saying that, he ordered Douzi to fetch a piece of fine cotton cloth, "This cloth is slightly flawed, remember to tell the village chief Uncle, don't mind it."

"Understood, second brother. I promise to bring the message to you."

Xie Laosan hugged the cloth and went out, smiling so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes.

Although Douzi is young, he has been running around with the young master, and he has a lot of eyes.

"Young master, why don't you send it yourself?"

Xie Xiuwen smiled: "I can't stay at home for a few days all year round, so it's more appropriate for my third brother to make this trip. Besides, he works with Laifu, and if he goes to see him off, the village chief uncle will understand what I mean. "

Bean still doesn't feel right.

Xie Xiuwen flicked him on the forehead: "You! The third brother is real, he will convey my words, so the village head uncle will remember my feelings for the things he sent over."

Xie Xiuwen's main reason is that he doesn't want to be talked about by his mother because of such a little thing.

If it was the third brother who sent it out, the mother should not be too nagging, mainly because she really didn't want to be bullied by the third brother.

Everything was exactly as Xie Xiuwen expected. The village chief's family were naturally very happy when they saw the fine cotton cloth sent over. So what if there are some flaws in such a large piece of cloth?

Enough for two or three people to make a new suit of clothes.

Xie Laosan gave Xie Laifu two taels of silver, and said that it was given by his second brother, and he would not let him go next year if he didn't accept it.

This time, the village head was so happy that his eyes narrowed.

As for their Xiejiazhuang, in fact, most of them live well. Although they basically can’t afford to go to school, they can at least have enough food and won’t suffer from cold in winter.

But that's all.

Most of them are peasant households, and the ancestors have such a little savings. When the times are not good, they can only tighten their belts.

It's different now.

Not only their family, but some other clansmen also have extra money for the first Chinese New Year. The village chief thinks better days are ahead!

Xie Xiuwen arranged everything outside in an orderly manner, but he had nothing to do when facing his sad-looking wife.

His wife can no longer bear children, which is not something he can just tell with a few words of consolation.

And he knew very well that his wife cared about his son, so even if he coaxed him right now, it wouldn't take long before his wife would fall into self-blame for this incident again.

Now Xie Xiuwen can only express his reluctance to take a concubine on the grounds that he is busy with his studies, but what if he is in high school in the future?

Or if she didn't win, will Ruolan bring up the old story again?

Stop!

If you can't think like this, how could you miss it?
If they fail again, their family will probably be targeted more clearly by the mother and the eldest house.

Xie Xiuwen sighed heavily.

He is helpless now.

At this point, there is no way out.

If he doesn't win, even if his father supports him in studying, I'm afraid his own morale will weaken. At that time, will he really be a teacher for the rest of his life?

Thinking about his own baby, and thinking about always targeting their mother and the long house family, he can't leave a way out for himself, so he can only fight.

After secretly putting some pressure on himself, Xie Xiuwen let out a breath of foul air and walked back slowly.

At the door of the house, he paused again, and then went to see his daughter first.

Xie Rongzhao was also worried about his parents.

In her previous life, she knew that she had never been able to have a younger brother, but she didn't know that her mother was not in good health at that time.

In her previous life, she had been unable to give birth to a son for her father, which had always been a knot in her heart. Unexpectedly, it would be the same in this life.

And since even famous doctors are helpless, it means that there is really no way to cure it.

When Xie Xiuwen came over, he saw the baby girl resting her chin in her hand in a daze.

"What are you thinking, baby?"

As Xie Xiuwen said, he walked over and hugged the little person, and let her nestle comfortably in his arms.

Xie Rongzhao moved his body a little, and then faced the beauty father.

"Father, Mommy is always unhappy. I want to catch a rabbit for Mommy to raise. Will Mommy be happier?"

When Xie Xiuwen heard this, his heart immediately softened into a mess. Look at his cute baby, he will feel sorry for someone at such a young age.

"Okay, then tomorrow Dad will take you up the mountain to catch rabbits?"

Xie Rongzhao's eyes lit up: "We still have to bring third uncle and fourth brother, fourth brother is very strong."

"You can arrange it any way you like."

However, the father and daughter could not go up to Chengshan the next day because the Liu family came to give New Year gifts.

Not long after Liu Laoer left, the Gao family and the Wang family also sent people over one after another, so Xie Xiuwen was busy dealing with relatives all day long.

But Xie Rongzhao noticed the change of A Niang.

After the second uncle came over, he talked to A Niang alone for less than a quarter of an hour, and after that, the sadness on A Niang's face was obviously much less.

Xie Rongzhao didn't think it was A Niang who figured it out, nine out of ten it was the Liu family who came up with a better way, at least it would not make A Niang feel guilty.

what is it then?

Xie Rongzhao didn't think about it for a while, the adults were busy, so she just pestered Xie Rongen to take her out to play.

"Fourth Brother, is that Brother Little Wolf?"

Xie Rongen looked in the direction of her finger, it was really Xie Xiaolang.

Xie Xiaolang is actually the same age as Xie Rongzhao, but his birth month is younger, his parents are gone, and now he lives with his uncle's family.

In the winter, Xie Xiaolang was only wearing a set of single clothes, and carried a bundle of firewood on his thin and short body, which bent his already thin body and struggled to move forward.
