Seeing these people gathered together, the patriarch's face looked a bit unsightly.

"What are you doing here? If you don't work inside the house, why are you running around here?"

When their Qinjia Village first started, the ancestors of the Qin family fled here with their children and clan members. They took root here and thrived. After generations of hard work, they reclaimed this land that was not fertile and developed it into what it is today.

This is quite a prosperous small mountain village.

Therefore, people often say that people with the same surname were members of the same family five hundred years ago. This is still the case in Qinjia Village. They are indeed from the same ancestor.

That is to say, some people with other surnames moved in one after another in their village, and the people in the village were not only surnamed Qin.

But in Qinjia Village, the patriarch is the village chief and this will never change. Qin is still the most common surname in the village and has more say.

The patriarch of Qinjiacun's generation is quite far-sighted himself.

During the slack season in winter, he would gather the labor force in the village. The women would do embroidery work together in the village, and the men would go out to work as carpenters together. After finishing the work, they would go out to sell it together, which would also prevent people in the village from going out on their own.

Got cheated.

Therefore, the village chief would be unhappy when he saw these people gathering together and not working.

Seeing the clan leader coming, the younger girls and daughters-in-law didn't dare to speak. On the contrary, Grandma Wang, because the man she married was older, was not timid in front of the clan leader, and directly told her what had just happened.

He said it like a bean.

After listening to Grandma Wang's words, the patriarch turned to look at Wen Xia with a stern tone.

"Is that what happened?"

Hearing the patriarch's words, Wen Xia's eyes suddenly turned red.

If the original owner was here and was stared at like this by the clan leader, she would definitely be speechless. But as someone who had presented flowers to provincial leaders who came to the school for speeches and inspections when she was studying in university, Wen Xia did not take it seriously.

The patriarch's power was evident.

She's scared! She's pretending!

Seeing Wen Xia's silence, Grandma Wang also became anxious. She reached out and pulled Wen Xia's sleeves and said to her:

"Mother Xia, if anything happens, just tell the clan leader. Don't worry, the clan leader will make the decision for you."

Hearing her words, Wen Xia felt a little displeased in her heart.

Make decisions for their family? If the patriarch can really make decisions for their family, how could Qin Erzhu not be able to separate the family in the first place? How could the Qin family dare to be so harsh on their family?

However, never mind why the patriarch is partial to the Qin family and his wife. In front of so many people, he has to act fair for the sake of his prestige.

Therefore, Wen Xia hesitated for a while and then whispered.

"Patriarch, my mother didn't mean it. She just felt that my father was wasting money lying down like this, so she didn't want to treat him. I can understand her, and I also know my father's current situation. The uncle and the third uncle feel

I definitely have some ideas.

But, that's my dad. Even if there is a glimmer of hope, I can't bear to give up. Chief, I beg you to talk to my grandma. I don't need her to pay. Even if I sell myself as a slave, I will pay.

My father earns back the money for the medicine. As long as she doesn’t take away all the money our family earns.”

Having said this, Wen Xia hesitated for a moment before continuing.

"You can take it away, leave some for us. Our family can eat less, and we won't buy anything else. As long as the money left is enough to treat my father, I can't just watch me.

Dad just left."

At the end of the story, Wen Xia was crying so hard that she was out of breath and looked very pitiful.

Not to mention the women next to them, even the men who had just returned with the clan leader felt a little unbearable when they saw Wen Xia's behavior.

If people eat whole grains, no one can guarantee that they will not have any accidents in the future. Comparing their feelings, if they encounter such a situation one day and have such a filial daughter, they will be happy in their hearts.

"Mother Xia, don't cry. It's your fault. Don't worry, the clan leader will make the decision for you."

A man following the clan leader could not help but speak out to persuade him.

After hearing his words, Wen Xia looked up at the clan leader with a look of anticipation.

"Really? Chief, will you help me?"

What else could the patriarch say at this time? With so many people watching, could he say no? He could only grit his teeth, squeeze out a smile, and say to Wen Xia:

"Don't worry, Mother Xia. I'll talk to your father about this later. Anyway, Er Zhu is still breathing, so he can't be cured so easily."

After hearing what she wanted to hear, Wen Xia finally showed a smile on her face.

"Thank you, Patriarch, thank you, Patriarch! If my father is really gone, we don't know how our family will survive. Patriarch, you have saved our family's lives."

Having said this, Wen Xia glanced at him timidly and asked cautiously.

"Patriarch, my grandma said that if I tell this, she will beat me to death. Can you please tell my grandma not to fight? I still have to do embroidery work to make money for my father.

"

Wen Xia has said this, what else can the patriarch say? Besides, although he is somewhat partial to Qin Youtian and his wife for the sake of the other two families of Qin Youtian's family, he will not go too far. He smiled

Then he looked at Wen Xia, his eyes full of comfort, and said:

"Don't worry, you're right about this. Your mother won't dare to hit you."

After hearing what the patriarch said, Grandma Wang also spoke loudly beside her.

"Yes, if your grandma beats you because of this, just shout loudly. Our two families live close to each other and I can hear it. Then grandma will go over and talk to your grandma."

After receiving the assurance, Wen Xia thanked those present again before walking back.

As soon as they walked not far away, they saw Wen Yulan and Qin Jinyan who were looking for her. When she saw her, Wen Yulan's tears that she had managed to hold back burst out. Qin Jinyan even ran a few steps faster.

He just pulled Wen Xia's sleeves, his face full of panic.

"Mother Xia, you scared me to death. If you run out like this, how will my mother survive if something happens?"

Seeing their family of three, the people around them felt even more uncomfortable at this time. At the same time, they were even more disdainful of the behavior of the Qin family couple.
