Zhou Tianyou shook his head slightly: "I haven't been there yet. The higher-ups are still investigating."
Xia Xiaodie did not doubt it, but just found it difficult to accept it for a while.
"how so?"
The Zhou family fell into ruin and Mr. Zhou was sent to prison. What should she do
She can no longer be an official's wife
No, even if Master Zhou was arrested, we still have Brother Zhou. As long as he works hard in the imperial examinations in the future, he will definitely be able to become an official.
Xia Xiaodie held his hand with a worried look on her face, with a little hope in her eyes: "Brother Zhou, is there any room for maneuver?"
Of course it would be best if the Zhou family could survive.
"Room to maneuver..."
Zhou Tianyou paused, smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe there is still room for maneuver, but it requires a large sum of money. But I have nothing on hand now. I can't even afford to go to school. Where can I get the money?"
"Xiaodie, can your family... give you some money?" Zhou Tianyou looked at Xia Xiaodie expectantly.
He didn't want her to actually take out some money, he just wanted her to show some attitude.
He wanted to let his mother see how good his beloved girl was.
In order to relieve his beloved from worries, Zhou Tianyou hurriedly said, "Don't worry, once my father is released, I will definitely find a way to return the money to you with interest."
"This...?" Xia Xiaodie didn't expect that he would ask her to borrow money, and she was very embarrassed for a moment.
Of course, it is impossible to lend him money.
Even if there was money at home, grandpa and grandma would not be willing to take it out.
She came out to see him today, and she did so secretly.
Her mother was sent back to her parents' home and she was locked up at home. She was worried that her grandfather and others would marry her off to someone else, so she hurried to the town to find Zhou Tianyou.
I just didn't expect that such a big thing would happen on his side.
If she had known this, she...
Xia Xiaodie frowned, sighed deeply, and looked helpless:
"We are just an ordinary farm family. We can't even get enough to eat, and we haven't changed our clothes in years. How can we have any extra money?"
Zhou Tianyou's eyes froze for a moment, then he was relieved.
That's right, he knew her family's financial situation very well, so how could she afford the money
Zhou Tianyou didn't want to continue, but remembering his mother's instructions, he had to continue:
"I heard that your grandma's family is pretty well off, and your uncle has been running a grocery store in town for many years. Can... can I borrow some from him?"
Xia Xiaodie's expression froze for a moment, then she shook her head with a sad look:
"My uncle's shop was smashed last time and sealed by the government. In the end, my uncle was released only after paying a lot of fines. His family can't even get enough food to eat now."
"So that's how it is."
Zhou Tianyou knew about this matter.
Because Xiaodie had come to her for help before, but he didn't help and was severely scolded by his father instead.
It was also because of this incident that his mother discovered his affair with Xiaodie.
When talking about this matter, Xia Xiaodie was filled with anger.
"It's all Su Qiao's fault. If she hadn't hired people to smash my uncle's shop and had the government seal it up, I would have been able to raise the money to give you now."
Host, this woman is too shameless. Even at this time, she still wants to throw dirty water on you and provoke Zhou Tianyou to deal with you.
Su Qiao raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
She would not be surprised at anything a woman like Xia Xiaodie did.
"She asked the government to seal up your uncle's shop?" Zhou Tianyou was stunned.
