Due to the heavy snowfall all night, it was difficult for farmers to sleep in.
If this was normal, my parents would have gone to the ground by this time.
Lin Xiao felt very strange, who could this be? It can’t be Tian Sanmei again! The sound doesn't sound like it.
Lin Xiao quickly agreed, and then quickly put on his clothes.
When he opened the door, Lin Xiao was blinded by the thick snow. He half-covered his eyes with his hands, then stepped on the snow to open the door.
The snow was so thick that it reached up to my calves.
The moment he opened the door, Lin Xiao couldn't help but be stunned.
I saw Xia Yuhe standing in the thick snow outside the gate. His thick cotton jacket and cotton trousers were covered with snow, but it could be seen that the snow did not fall on it, but was wiped on by falling.
She put her hands in each other's sleeves, the green headscarf on her head was covered with popsicles, and even her eyebrows were covered with white frost.
The nose exposed outside the headscarf was a little red and swollen from the cold.
"Xia Yuhe! What's wrong with you?"
Lin Xiao couldn't help shouting.
At this time, maybe the parents heard the shouting outside the door, and they all got up.
"Call to the house quickly."
Liu Xiuzhi shouted in surprise.
Lin Xiao stepped forward fiercely, reached out and grabbed Xia Yuhe's arm, and pulled her into the upper room.
"Get on the kang and warm yourself up. I'll light a fire right now."
Liu Xiuzhi quickly got busy.
When Lin Mingsheng saw it, it was a woman. He was afraid that Xia Yuhe would recognize her, so he hurried to Lin Xiao's room.
At this time, Xia Yuhe choked and said: "Lin Xiao! Please save Su Quanquan!"
When Lin Xiao heard that Xia Yuhe was here for Su Quanquan, he couldn't help but get angry.
"Is it worth it for you? With such thick snow, you are not afraid of freezing to death.
Also, it may be dark when you come out from home. There are wolves near us, so you are not afraid of wolves eating you. "
Lin Xiao was so angry that he lost control of his emotions.
"Xiao'er! Speak better."
Liu Xiuzhi, who was busy making a fire, quickly reminded Lin Xiao.
Xia Yuhe smiled bitterly and took off her headscarf covered with popsicles. The face Lin Xiao saw was no longer the pretty face of Xia Yuhe when she was in school. Instead, it was red from the cold and covered with blood scabs. Even a little ugly face.
Liu Xiuzhi quickly pulled Xia Yuhe to the stove. Xia Yuhe lifted up her scarf and put it on the fire to bake the popsicles hanging on it.
"You roast yourself first, your life is not as important as this headscarf?"
Lin Xiao angrily snatched the headscarf from Xia Yuhe's hand and threw it on the edge of the bed.
At this time, her sister Lin Qian walked in the door. She took one look and ran away. After a while, she took one of her scarves and forced it around Xia Yuhe's neck.
Xia Yuhe said nothing, but in the end Lin Xiao lost her temper and she became honest.
Liu Xiuzhi poured a cup of hot water and brought it over. She said softly: "Drink some quickly and it will keep you warm. Otherwise, take off your shoes and get on the kang, which will keep you warm."
Xia Yuhe shook her head and whispered to Lin Xiao: "Su Quanquan incurred gambling debts while gambling in the county. He came to collect the debt last night. If the money is not paid by noon today, I will cut off his hand."
"Just cut him off. After cutting him off, he won't gamble again."
When Lin Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but get furious.
Xia Yuhe took a peek at Lin Xiao and said in a low voice: "I have gone through all my relatives, friends, and classmates, and you are the only one who can help me with this matter.
I beg you! "
Xia Yuhe said, suddenly turned around and knelt in front of Lin Xiao.
"what are you doing?"
Lin Xiao quickly stepped forward and pulled Xia Yuhe up from the ground.
Xia Yuhe suddenly shed a few tears. She cried and said: "I will kneel down for you without shame. I have searched all my relatives for this matter. It is a trivial matter that I couldn't borrow the money, and I was ridiculed by them.
do you know? I went to borrow a loan shark, and when people heard it was Su Quanquan, they knew they couldn't pay it back, so they made even more exorbitant demands. They asked me to..."
Xia Yuhe hesitated to speak.
Lin Xiao let out a sigh of relief and said: "It's not that I won't help you, but I think it's not worth it for you to fight for this rotten person. Didn't Mayor Zhao ask you to go to the leaders of the Women's Federation? They will help you divorce, why don't you divorce?" Woolen cloth?"
Lin Xiao said, raising his voice angrily.
Xia Yuhe wiped away her tears. She smiled bitterly and said, "If you have a child, what's the point of divorce? Even if I remarry, I will be a drag with the child. The child will definitely suffer if he follows me."
My life is over, and I can no longer let my children be like me.
do you know? It was precisely because my mother remarried and took me with her that my stepfather cruelly married me to Su Quanquan. "
When Xia Yuhe said this, the soft-hearted Liu Xiuzhi quickly advised Lin Xiao: "Look, help her if you can.
With such thick snow, she ran to our house in the middle of the night. She really had no choice, otherwise she wouldn't have come to you. "
"Brother! Mom is right.
Don’t you have friends in the county? Just find a way through relationships, it’s not easy for this sister. "
Sister Lin Qian was also persuading Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao let out a sigh of relief and said, "You guys hurry up and cook! You have to eat something if you want to go. Besides, there's no rush now."
Cutting off hands is just to scare people, they want money. "
After hearing what Lin Xiao said, Xia Yuhe nodded quickly.
Her mother and sister started making breakfast together. Xia Yuhe politely offered to help, but Lin Xiao pulled her away and asked her to warm herself by the fire.
After a steaming breakfast, Lin Xiao made arrangements for his sister to come to the county town with Huzi and Chen Erniu on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month to help.
When the mother saw her son coming and leaving again, she was somewhat reluctant to leave him, but when she saw poor Xia Yuhe, she couldn't bear it.
"Be careful and don't do anything again. If you can solve it with money, it's best to use money to solve it."
Mother chased Lin Xiao to the gate and warned him.
Stepping on the thick snow, Lin Xiao and Xia Yuhe walked towards Nanyang Street.
The snow was too thick, making walking extremely difficult. Lin Xiao had a hard time walking, let alone Xia Yuhe.
The usually one-hour journey took them more than three hours. When they arrived at Xia Yuhe's house, they saw the door wide open and no one in the house.
There was a note pressed under the pillow on the edge of the kang, which said, "Take the money and pick it up at No. 29 Ganshui Road. After today, you won't come back."
Xia Yuhe immediately became anxious when he saw the words on it.
Lin Xiao shook his head and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. You wait at home, I'll take the train to the county seat."
"No! I'm going too. There are some things you can't decide."
Xia Yuhe's attitude was a little firm.
Lin Xiao thought for a moment, then took Xia Yuhe and went to Nanyang Railway Station.
The snow in Kawachi was much thinner than in the mountains, so it took them an hour to get to Nanyang Railway Station. They were lucky, there happened to be a truck about to leave, so they got on the truck.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Xiao and Xia Yuhe knocked on the door of No. 29 Ganshui Road. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a coal yard.
