Hongyun was startled when she saw Xiao Tongwen's face. He quickly came up to meet her and asked, "What's wrong?"
I don't know if it was because the things outside made him too depressed and heavy. When he came in and saw Hongyun, he immediately let out a sigh of relief. He held Wan Qing in his arms and kissed her hard twice before his face calmed down a little.
"Are you hungry? I'll let someone serve you food?" Seeing this, Hongyun knew that she was in a hurry, so she changed the subject and stopped talking about anything else.
"good."
The three families finished their meal together, and when Wan Qing left, it was already dark. Winter nights always come very early.
Returning to her yard, Wan Qing locked herself in the house again. After everyone left, she left through the window and sneaked into Hongyun's yard as quickly as possible.
Hongyun: "Does Third Uncle really owe so much money?"
Xiao Tongwen: "All the shops over there were sold, and even the house he just bought was cashed in... However, this time, he owes too much, and it is not enough to repay half of the debt he owes."
Hongyun was silent. With her woman's mentality, it was the third wife's fault...but she couldn't say anything.
"The old man also took out all his personal money, but there is still more than ten thousand taels left."
Not only Hongyun inside, but also Wanqing outside was shocked. This old man is really a rich man!
"Are you going to pay back the third bedroom?"
"If we don't pay it back, the women in the third room will be dragged away by those people and fall into their hands. How can they survive... After all, we are all one family..."
Hongyun was unhappy, but she couldn't say no. If she did, not to mention others, even Xiao Tongwen would look at her differently, which would certainly not be a good thing.
Hongyun stopped talking, and the room was very dull for a while. After a while, Xiao Tongwen heard a long sigh again: "Alas!" He seemed even more thoughtful than before.
"Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
After all, they were a couple. Seeing Xiao Tongwen like this, Hongyun couldn't help but ask with concern.
"The Xiao family..." Xiao Tongwen only said two words, and then he sighed again, and then paused again. After a while, he slowly spoke again, and the words he said were different from before.
