Who doesn’t have a hard time talking in this world?
However, that's because you don't know the cards in other people's hands.
Lin Tianba touched his chest and breathed for a long time before he could breathe again.
"Xie Fan, tell the truth, Lin Yue is really at Xie's house?"
"On Mount Taiyin, chatting with my second mother!"
Lin Tianba lightly banged the edge of the table, and the expression on his face softened a lot, "Nephew, it's not easy for you to take the Xie family in Taiyin Mountain. Let's just make a price and let that be the end of the matter!"
Xie Fan looked at the table with a puzzled expression, "What price should I offer? You should offer the price!"
Lin Tianba's anger and blood surged, but now the other party had the upper hand, "In this case, I will give you one hundred taels, and this marriage will be cancelled!"
Xie Fan sneered. There is always a shortage of people in the world who would add insult to injury. "Mr. Lin, whose son are you going to betroth Lin Yue to? You are generous enough!"
"Yuan family in western Sichuan!" Lin Tianba said proudly, then calmed down, "If it doesn't work, I'll give you another twenty taels!"
"Have you asked Lin Yue? Is she willing to marry Yuan?"
"Since ancient times, the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers!"
Xie Fan was originally quite sane, but Lin Tianba's judgment on marriage completely angered him.
He knew that he could not change the times, but he was unwilling to compromise right now.
Xie Fan stood up as he slapped the case, his eyes were burning, "I will ask someone to send five hundred taels! From today on, Lin Yue is my Xie family and has nothing to do with the Lin family anymore!"
"Five hundred taels?" Lin Tianba stood up quickly and stopped Xie Fan, "My dear nephew, don't joke, this is not a small amount!"
Xie Fan shook his sleeves and said, "Commander Zhang, you will personally deliver the money tomorrow!"
"But, what should I explain to the Yuan family?"
Xie Fan walked away without stopping.
After getting on the carriage, Xie Fan pinched his thigh and said, "Commander Zhang, why didn't you stop me just now? If Miss Lin Yue knows that I helped her cut off contact with the Lin family, what should I do?"
Zhang Chao touched his sword and said aggrievedly, "Master, you were so wise and powerful just now, and your bearing was extraordinary. It's too late to even admire me, so how dare you stop me?"
Xie Fan waved his hand and threw a bag of silver to the other party, "Go buy more food and stuff from Shigang, I'll wait for you here!"
Zhang Chao stepped back and Xie Fan opened the carriage door curtain and saw an old man sitting on a stone platform on the street with two children in his arms.
"Old man, I see there is nothing left in your stall, why don't you go home?"
The old man saw that Xie Fan was cleanly dressed and still sitting on the horse, so he quickly got up and said, "Sir, there was a war at the border a while ago, and the house was burned down. There is no home anymore!"
Xie Fan looked into the distance and saw that there were many such people on the street. They should all be homeless due to the war.
Living on the border, most of the able-bodied members of the family have joined the army, and only the women, children, old and young are left in the family.
Xie Fan got out of the car and smiled kindly, "Old man, what skills do you know?"
"Sir, my surname is Gu, and I originally opened a sesame cake shop. It's a pity that I don't have one now. Otherwise, I must let you try it. It's so delicious!"
The ancient man was talking to himself, with a confident expression on his face. The two children next to him kept swallowing and watching eagerly.
Xie Fan took a few pieces of silver from his waist and put it in the old man's hand, "My name is Xie Fan, and my home is in Taiyin Mountain. If you are willing to follow me, buy some materials and follow me up the mountain. If not, this silver Just treat it as a gift to you!”
The old man's hands were shaking slightly, "Thank you, Mr. Xie, you can't do this!"
Xie Fan got on the carriage and said, "Old man, you come with me now, there is a carriage. If you want to come in the future, you have to walk. How about it, have you decided yet?"
"Young Master, it's okay for me to be alone. But I have two children with me! Taiyin Mountain is very close to the Yi country, so it's not peaceful! I advise you to leave as soon as possible!" The old Chinese said with seriousness and seriousness in his eyes. It is the color of gratitude.
Xie Fan nodded, "Old man, I see that many people on the street have been displaced. Anyone who wants to come to Taiyin Mountain can come. For no other reason than that, I just want everyone to have a place to stay!"
The ancient Han pushed his grandson in front, his voice trembling, "Young Master, great virtuous man! Grandson, please pay your respects to your benefactor!"
Xie Fan looked at the two children with childish eyes and an innocent expression.
One day in the future, he will also face the problem of children.
No matter how hard it is, we must not suffer for our children, and no matter how poor we are, we must not suffer for education.
I don’t know if such a concept is feasible in this era?
Is there a way out for a poor family?
Grassroots, can we counterattack?
"Old man, where are your son and daughter-in-law?"
"My son died in the war, and my daughter-in-law remarried to make a living!"
The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and even Emperor Dashun has no way of knowing the situation here.
Maybe, he only cares about whether there are invading enemies on the border, but has no time to care about the lives of the people on the border.
Liao Yong is right. Although Taiyin Mountain is comfortable, it is also a dangerous place.
In the development of the Xie family, defense must be a top priority.
At this moment, Zhang Chao finished his shopping and put the goods neatly on the carriage.
Xie Fan threw a bag of candy to the old man, "Old man, see you later!"
Zhang Chao was confused, "Master, how many of these people do you know?"
"I don't know, we just talked for a while." Xie Fan closed his eyes to rest and said casually, "Zhang Chao, do you have a family? How are their lives?"
"Master, it's not easy to live by yourself these days. There have been no letters from home for many years. I just hope that my family will be safe!"
Xie Fan looked at the goods and thought thoughtfully, "Can ordinary people eat these things?"
"Master, they can also eat it, but most of them are reluctant to eat it!"
Xie Fan patted Zhang Chao on the shoulder and said, "Chao, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Now that we have met, I will treat you as my brother. The Xie family will need people in the future. If you are willing to stay, you can leave your home Come and pick them up. Same goes for other brothers!"
Zhang Chao stared and touched the money in his pocket. During these days, he really thought about going home.
Now, the young master gave him a second choice, and he hesitated a little, "Master, you are the best master I have ever seen! But, let me think about this matter!"
Xie Fan smiled, "I'm not forcing you! In these days, everyone has to think more about themselves!"
"This time I followed the young master and made money. The brothers are very grateful."
Xie Fan leaned against the car window and thought of some of his former playmates. Except for Dong Zhong, no one showed up.
This is not because of the harsh reality of the world, but perhaps it is just the distance between reality that has widened the distance between our hearts.
He estimated that Xie Ziming had been away for some time and it was almost time to come back.
"Zhang Chao!"
"Master!"
"If one day you want to leave! Don't leave quietly, tell me! I will prepare some decent gifts for your family!"
Zhang Chao was silent. What he relied on most was the sword in his hand.
However, somewhere in the world, there is always something worth remembering.
