my host does things all day

Chapter 2177 There are evil wolves at home, don’t approach strangers 23
Jiang said in grief: "Obviously your second brother was a very good kid when he was young, how did he learn to gamble when he grew up? I told him since I was a child that gambling is untouchable, but he just didn't listen, alas!"

"Mother." Xi Ying held Jiang's hand, her eyes were burning, "If I can take out these 20 taels, can I get out of this house and set up my own family?"

Mrs. Jiang was taken aback by Xi Ying's words, "Man Qing, do you know what you're talking about? You want to stand on your own? You are a girl, you followed us before you got married, and followed your husband's family after you got married. How could you Standing on your own? This has never happened before!"

"Mother, let me ask you, if I can help the family through this difficulty, do I have the qualifications to start my own family?" Xi Ying asked stubbornly.

Seeing that Xi Ying was telling the truth, Mrs. Jiang became serious, "I don't know, but Man Qing, if you really have such thoughts, you should ask Mr. Zhu in the village. He used to be in He has been an official in the imperial court, so he should be very familiar with this aspect. If he has seen this kind of thing, then it is okay."

"Mr. Zhu?" Xi Ying narrowed her eyes, "Okay, mother, where does Mr. Zhu live?"

Mrs. Jiang told Xi Ying the detailed address of Mr. Zhu.

After finishing speaking, Xi Ying put the empty bowl on the stove and hugged Jiang.

"Eh? You child, what's the matter?" Jiang was a little at a loss.

This is ancient times, even family affection is very restrained.

The ancients would only break out of emotion when they were parting, hug each other or something, in normal times, they basically would not have such a move.

"Mother, you have had a hard time in this family, too."

Jiang's nose was sore when she heard the words, and she patted Xiying's back, "My child, as long as I can see you happy, what does the mother's hard work matter? Isn't everyone here like this?"

"Don't worry, after I pay off my second brother's debts, I will take you to set up my own house together. From now on, there will only be our mother and I in the family. I won't let you work so hard again."

Mrs. Jiang smiled, wiped away the tears that were about to fall from her eyes with her hands, and said, "Okay, you have had breakfast too, so you can go wherever you want. Remember, no matter where you go, you have to be careful." Protect yourself, you are stronger now, if you meet a man who wants to touch you, you must not show mercy, you know?"

"Ah."

After spending some time with Jiang Shi, Xi Ying walked out of the house with a basket on her shoulders.

The purpose of crossing the basket is to go up the mountain to find and pick the bouquet of flowers that the savage gave her yesterday.

But before going up the mountain, Xi Ying first had to go to Mr. Zhu to ask about setting up her own family.

Following the route given by Jiang, Xi Ying came to a courtyard with a single family.

The scenery here is unique, and there are no people around.

The yard of his house is very large, instead of vegetable fields, there are flowers planted in it, which are colorful and very eye-catching.

Xi Ying came to the door of Mr. Zhu's house, and heard the sound of reading from inside.

knock knock knock.

Mr. Zhu, who was teaching the children to read in the lobby, looked up.

"Sir, someone is knocking on the door, I'll answer it!" A thick-headed boy stood up.

"Well, you go." Mr. Zhu waved.

The boy ran over to open the door, only then did Xi Ying see that the lobby of the house had been transformed into a school, where about thirteen or four children attended classes.
