Seeing her second uncle slam the door and leave, Xia's mother let out a long sigh. She still can't tell that what her second uncle said before was all lies to her.
"Mom, don't be too sad."
Xia Dong comforted her mother. What her second uncle said before leaving was so heartless. Her original sympathy was long gone.
If they were really relatives, it would be absolutely impossible for them to say that.
Although Xia's mother is honest, she is not stupid. Xia Xiang's second uncle is usually unwilling to even move around, so he knows how to borrow money. If he really lends this kind of money, it will be difficult to get it back.
After Xia wanted to break it off, he still said such heartless words, which showed that in his heart, he didn't care about his relative.
No matter what, Xia Xiang can't be blamed for what happened.
Xia wanted to know that her mother had been kind all her life, and she didn't know how to comfort her at this time, but she still left a thousand yuan at home.
"Mom, I know my second uncle will definitely come back. Here is a thousand yuan. If you want to borrow it, just borrow it!"
It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs. Although Xia Xiang despises his second uncle, he knows that his mother values family ties. As long as his second uncle keeps licking his face, his mother will definitely lend the money out in the end.
Xia Xiang, the bad guy, had already done it, but he didn't want his mother to be called unhuman in front of relatives, so he finally let his mother be the good person.
After leaving the money, Xia Xiang went out.
These things about his second uncle's house made Xia Xiang very annoyed. He walked around outside and came to the door of Chen Ning's dormitory before he knew it.
Crunch.
The dormitory door opened, and Chen Ning was carrying a thermos bottle to get water. When he saw Xia Xiang standing outside the door, he was surprised and happy.
"Why are you here?"
Chen Ning's face turned red and she asked in a gentle tone. She could already tell that Xia Xiang's face was not very good.
"I don't know either. I just walked here."
Xia Xiang saw Chen Ning's concerned eyes, and the depression in her heart dissipated a lot unconsciously.
Chen Ning did not ask Xia Xiang why he was unhappy, but just walked with him for a while.
For some reason, Xia Xiang felt unusually relaxed in front of Chen Ning. The two of them were walking and chatting, and subconsciously, he told Chen Ning what happened at home.
"Xia Xiang, in fact, you have done very well."
Chen Ning walked backwards and said consolingly.
In Chen Ning's opinion, what Xia wanted to do was indeed a bit unkind, but in the end he chose to give his mother a thousand yuan, which made Chen Ning feel very warm.
"Thanks."
Xia Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Now I know why there were confidantes in ancient times. Once I said something, I felt much better after saying it."
Swish.
Chen Ning's face turned red instantly, and the metaphor of a confidante made her feel a little embarrassed.
"By the way, are you free tomorrow?"
Chen Ning's ears felt a little hot, and he changed the topic in a panic.
"I'm free, what's wrong?"
Xia Xiang was stunned. This was Chen Ning's first date with him. Even if he had something important to do, he would definitely turn it down.
"I want to go to the county tomorrow. Can you accompany me?"
Chen Ning's voice was as low as a mosquito. Even though the two were engaged, she still couldn't let go in front of Xia Xiang.
"OK."
Xia Xiang nodded and agreed without any hesitation.
When Chen Ning saw Xia Xiang agreeing so happily, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
"See you tomorrow then!"
"See you tomorrow."
At the door of the dormitory, Xia Xiang waved goodbye to Chen Ning, but looking at the beautiful and elf-like woman in front of him, his heart became peaceful.
Back home, as soon as Xia Dong entered the house, she knocked on the door and came in.
"Not long after you left, my second uncle came back."
Xia Dong looked at Xia Xiang with admiration. He had indeed guessed the matter correctly. Her mother could not bear her second uncle's persistent pursuit, so she finally lent the money to her second uncle.
Xia Xiang nodded indifferently and said, "I knew this would be the result."
The next day.
Xia Xiang came to Chen Ning's dormitory early in the morning. When she saw Chen Ning coming out with light makeup, she was still a little stunned by her beauty.
Chen Ning is like the wind in the summer morning, always so gentle.
Lu Gang was sent to the scenic spot by Xia Xiang, and his bicycle was ridden back by Xia Xiang. Otherwise, walking more than ten kilometers from Dabai Township to the county seat would still be very time-consuming on two legs.
Sitting on the back seat of the bicycle was a picturesque Chen Ning. Xia Xiang felt that his whole body had become much lighter. On the way to the county town, he didn't feel tired at all.
"Xia Xiang, I don't want to tell my family about our marriage for the time being..."
After arriving at the county seat, Chen Ning spoke to Xia Xiang.
Xia Xiang was stunned. He had already guessed that the relationship between Chen Ning and her family was not very good, because they had known each other for such a long time and had almost never heard Chen Ning say anything about her family's situation.
Now Chen Ning has said personally that she does not plan to tell her family about her marriage. It seems that the situation in their family is a bit complicated.
"Well, I know you did this, and you must have your reasons."
Xia Xiang nodded and had no intention of asking further questions.
"You don't mind, do you?"
Chen Ning looked at Xia Xiang and asked nervously.
"Chen Ning, I want to marry you just because you are Chen Ning."
Xia Xiang did not answer directly, but his answer satisfied Chen Ning more than a direct answer.
The implication of Xia Xiang's words is that he likes Chen Ning as a person, not because of any other additional factors.
This answer is pure and touching.
"Xia Xiang, thank you." Chen Ning's eyes were a little red and she said guiltily: "Give me a little more time, and I will tell you everything by then."
Xia Xiang smiled at Chen Ning and said, "I've been waiting for two lifetimes. It's okay to wait a little longer."
Chen Ning quickly avoided Xia Xiang's hot gaze. She was a little surprised why Xia Xiang said it was two lifetimes, but she felt in her heart that what Xia Xiang wanted to say was true.
Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. It can be seen that the situation in Chen Ning's family is very complicated. Xia doesn't want to ask more questions. When it's time to talk, Chen Ning will tell him sooner or later.
After making a long-distance call home in the county, Xia Xiang took Chen Ning to a restaurant for lunch. As soon as he sat down, he saw Lin Dayong.
"Xiaoxia, why are you here? What a coincidence. I have something to ask you."
Lin Dayong said carelessly and walked over. When he got closer, he realized that there was someone else beside Xia Xiang. Chen Ning's beauty made him startled. He couldn't help but joked: "Xiaoxia, these are my younger siblings."
Chen Ning's face turned red, but she still looked forward to how Xia wanted to introduce herself.
