Before Xi Ying came in, Zhang Tianhui seemed to have spoken a lot to the village chief.
When he heard the last sentence, the village chief had already stood up from his chair and was ready to leave.
"Village Chief, I'm not impulsive." Xi Ying walked forward quickly.
"Dad, did the second brother owe twenty taels of gambling debt outside?" She asked Zhang Tianhui straight to the point.
"You kid, why are you saying such things in front of the village chief?" Zhang Tianhui was almost furious with his little daughter.
Gambling is a very bad thing in the eyes of the villagers.
Although his second son loves gambling, the family has concealed it well for such a long time, and no other villagers know about it.
They all thought that the second son was also hard-working and capable.
Now that Xi Ying said this, well, the villagers didn’t know, so they just let the village chief know!
"I'm just asking you, is that right?" Xi Ying still asked.
"You!" Zhang Tianhui didn't mention it in one breath and almost lost his breath.
The second son of the Zhang family quickly stepped forward and patted him on the back.
"Little sister, please stop saying a few words. Dad is going to faint from your anger today!"
"I just asked Dad a question, why didn't Dad answer me? If you have it, you have it, and if you don't have it, you don't have it. Is it so difficult?"
Xi Ying originally thought things could be very simple, but she couldn't understand why Zhang Tianhui always made simple things very complicated.
"Second boy, do you have a debt of twenty taels outside?" The village chief saw that Zhang Tianhui was not in good condition, so he asked the second child of the Zhang family directly.
The second child glanced at Zhang Tianhui in embarrassment and then at the village chief.
In the eyes of the villagers in this village, the official position of the village chief can be said to be very important.
They did not dare to lie to the village chief, otherwise if they were found to have lied in the future, the village chief would never trust them again and would not think of them if anything good happened.
So, the second child of the Zhang family lowered his head and said a vague "hmm".
"Okay, village chief, Mr. Zhu, I invite you here because I want you to be a witness for me." Xi Ying took out the purse containing twenty taels of silver and placed it on the table.
"There are twenty taels of silver in this, which I earned through legitimate means. I will give them all to my second brother so that he can pay off his gambling debt."
Hearing Xi Ying's words, Zhang Tianhui, who was out of breath just now, immediately straightened up. Nothing happened.
He looked at Xi Ying in disbelief, "Man Qing, what did you say? You want to give these twenty taels to your second brother to pay off your gambling debt?"
"Yes, pay off his gambling debt."
"Oh, Dad really didn't expect you to have such filial piety! Dad wrongly blamed you before, and I apologize to you here." Zhang Tianhui's attitude towards Xi Ying immediately changed.
The second child of the Zhang family also smiled at Xi Ying: "Little sister, I also apologize to you. I didn't expect you to feel so sorry for me."
Xi Ying ignored the father and son, but continued to the village chief: "Village Chief, I helped the family overcome this difficulty, and I also proved that I can support myself, so I want to be independent from the Zhang family. I I once asked Mr. Zhu, and Mr. Zhu said that this method is feasible, so I asked you to be a witness. Today, I, Zhang Manqing, want to be independent from the Zhang family, and I will have no relationship with the Zhang family in the future. "
As soon as Xi Ying's words came out, Zhang Tianhui, who had been talking to her softly just now, immediately changed his expression.
