Chapter 147 Calculation
Hearing this, Tao Jin nodded and said.
"Yes, it's 1000 yuan."
Tao's mother then realized that she had fallen into a trap, and continued to look at Tao He and said.
"Son-in-law, please help me, I really need these 500 yuan.
If I can't get the 500 yuan, your brother-in-law will be in big trouble, and you can't just stand by and watch him die."
At this time, Ma Xiu looked at Tao Jin and Tao He, the two siblings, who bravely stood up to protect her.
She knew that these were her family, and both Tao Jin and Tao He would show some mercy to her for her sake.
The most appropriate thing to do is to step in and sever this relationship yourself.
Besides, it was my own problem in the first place, so why should I ask them to help me?
"You keep saying that you need this money for an emergency, but dare you tell us why you need this money?"
Hearing Ma Xiu's words, Ma Xiu's mother was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ma Xiu and said.
"Your brother has such a big problem, and you don't care about it, but you are still chasing me. Why do you need money?
I really raised you in vain. If I had known you would die when you were born, I should have strangled you to death."
Now my mother's words can no longer hurt me.
When Tao He heard this, he angrily stood in front of Ma Xiu and was about to say something.
Ma Xiu gently held his hand and spoke to him.
"It's okay, don't worry."
After saying this, Ma Xiu let go of her mother's hand and stood in front of her mother.
"I will say what you dare not say.
You are still here making trouble, thinking that everyone can be led by the nose by you.
Today I will tell you the whole story from beginning to end.
Back then, my mother wanted to sell me to that old man in his 60s. His grandson was almost as old as me.
He spent 500 yuan to buy me.
Fortunately, I got help from Tao He and his friends, and they rescued me successfully.
They spent a full 1000 yuan, which was twice the price the old man offered, before the two of them agreed to let them take me away.
After Tao He took me away, I came here and everyone knew me. I worked in the cafeteria and also did logistics.
Later we finally got married and had children.
Today they appeared in front of me again, saying that they wanted to borrow money from me to save my brother.
I was curious about why my brother might need money urgently.
After I asked them, they told me that my brother had killed someone.
That’s why they had to use money to settle the matter and save my brother from suffering.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone took two steps away from Ma Xiu's parents.
There was a look of blame on the faces of Ma Xiu's parents.
Ma Xiu's mother also reacted instantly and said to Ma Xiu.
"You little bitch, I'll teach you a lesson if you keep talking nonsense."
As he said this, he was about to slap Ma Xiu in the face, but was stopped by Tao He. At this time, Tao Jin also stood beside Ma Xiu to accompany her.
Ma Xiu felt their concern for her, so she continued.
“When he came here today, I asked him why he needed to borrow money from me?
She told me that it was because my brother used the 1000 yuan he got from selling me to marry a wife.
But after he married his wife, the two of them didn't get along well. They quarreled frequently, and my brother even accidentally beat someone to death.
The girl's family disagreed and said that they had to pay 500 yuan to settle the matter.
If I don't take the money, my brother's problem will never be resolved.
Now that my family has spent all the money from selling me, they are setting their sights on me again.
He said he wanted to ask me for 500 yuan. I think if you kill someone, you should pay with your life.
It’s not about how much money you give them, that can be resolved, and I will not give them any money today.”
After Ma Xiu finished speaking, she looked at her parents with a determined look on her face.
Ma Xiu's parents did not expect that Ma Xiu would say it so bluntly.
Didn’t she ever think about how she would live here in the future after she said these words, and how these people would look at her?
Seeing that Ma Xiu was not moved by any persuasion, Ma Xiu's mother started to act pitiful and said to her pitifully, looking at her.
"Mom, I know you've been wronged.
After you left, I immediately regretted it.
Mom, I've been looking for you everywhere, but I don't know where you are.
Speaking of which, I always think of you these years and I regret it.
My mother shouldn't have done that at the time. Our family really couldn't afford to eat.
There are so many mouths to feed at home. If the old man hadn't taken a fancy to your mother, he wouldn't have sold you to him.
You are my child, I have regretted it a long time ago, please don't be angry with me, okay?"
As she spoke, Ma Xiu's mother even shed a few tears.
Then, Ma Xiu Niang continued.
"We really have no other options regarding your brother's situation.
We beat and scolded him for what he did, and he promised not to do it again.
We just wanted to borrow some money from you to help our family through this difficult time.
Don't worry, if you don't like us in the future, we won't bother you anymore.
As long as you can save your brother, we will treat you badly, but your brother used to love you very much."
Ma Xiu's mother has experienced all the ups and downs in the village over the years, and she is very good at manipulating people's hearts.
Now, seeing the expressions of the people around me slowly changing, I felt relieved.
As long as I can get the 500 yuan, we’ll talk about it later.
Ma Xiu saw that he had torn open the wound himself, but he didn't expect that the situation would be reversed by just a few words from his mother.
Some people even looked at Ma Xiu and spoke to her.
“There are no bad parents in the world.
You are already a mother, so why not help your mother and your brother through this difficult time? As a family, what's wrong with that? "
"Yes, no matter how much a family fights or quarrels, they are still a family. Why hurt each other's feelings?"
"Lend this money to your mother. She said it's a loan and she will definitely pay it back in the future."
"Of course you did. Lend the money to your mother and save your brother. Your brother will surely realize his mistake and won't make the same mistake again."
