People in this town liked to surf the internet and watch fun. They all knew about Tang Xiao Ai, but no one would go to her house to test her.

Those who liked to go online and watch entertainment were mostly of the younger generation. They all avoided Tang Xiao Ai's father, Tang Huan. Who would be willing to be unlucky during the new year?

Tang Huan had a notorious reputation in the town. She loved to gamble, loved to drink, and had a short temper. In the past, she often told people about fighting and not paying off their debts. In any case, no one in the town wanted to have anything to do with her unless he had money in his pocket and his hands were itchy.

As long as they heard that his daughter or son sent back medical fees to their mother, the gamblers would immediately take action. The old gamblers had to win all the money they had in their hands, and even make him owe a lot of money before he would stop.

With such a father, there was no way she could blame him.

Because her mother didn't complain at all. As her daughter, what could she do?

However, whenever her father took out her mother's medical fees to gamble, Tang Xiaoyi would get angry. At this time, Tang Huan would panic.

This was because the moment her gentle daughter got angry, the entire world would be turned upside down. The most furious Tang Xiao Yi had ever been was to pull her mother and brother away, preparing to leave this house.

However, it was filled with strong feelings for her. Especially when her mother was soft-hearted to her father who had admitted her wrongs. Tang Xiaoyi could do nothing but feel heartache. She knew that she could not be so heartless to part with her blood relatives.

And now, because Tang Huan had recently owed a large sum of money, she was very restrained and didn't go out to gamble anymore. She spent her days at home taking care of the garden and the chickens and ducks, purchasing New Year's gifts.

"Sis, you only stayed at home for three days?" Tang Wen asked in surprise.

"It's already a great fortune to be able to come back and spend New Year's Eve with you." Tang Xiao Ai looked out the window at the vegetable garden where her father was digging up cabbage. She lowered her voice and said, "Right now, I …" There is no freedom, at least until all the debts have been paid, be subject to the company's arrangements. "

"I... "I will make money for you in the future …" When Tang Wen heard this, his heart couldn't help but ache. He could be considered half a man, since it had always been his elder sister who took care of him. When would it ever be his turn to protect the entire family?

"Shh, don't let Mommy and the others know." When Tang Xiaoyi heard the commotion, she immediately turned to her younger brother and said.

"Little Ai, first, drink some old chicken soup to warm up your body." His mother, Wang Xueqin, came in with a steaming bowl of chicken soup and said with a smile, "You and your brother are still the same as before, we just stick together and talk nonstop."

"Wen Zheng, help daddy wash the vegetables." His mother said as she sent Tang Wen away.

Watching her son walk out the door, the smile on Wang Xueqin's face slowly disappeared.

"Mom, you have to go to the hospital regularly for checkups. Also …"

"Little Love, tell Mommy the truth." Wang Xueqin interrupted Tang Xiao Ai's words. With a face full of worry, she asked, "Where did the money come from?"

"I borrowed some from a friend, Mom. Did you know that? "Among the students of the Academy of Arts, the one thing they lack the least is money." Tang Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Once, a roommate bought a bag, how much do you think it was? Six hundred thousand! "

"Little Love, don't lie to Mommy." Wang Xueqin sighed, "Mom has told you since you were young that a prince loves money, but you can't be like your father …"

"Mom, I didn't steal, I didn't steal, and I don't gamble." Tang Xiaoyi immediately interrupted her mother.

"I've always been thinking, if I were to give up your happiness because of that unrepentant old fogey, I … "I would rather end this with him and end all of this, than to implicate all of you …" Wang Xueqin knew that she shouldn't speak such depressing words on the new year's eve, but she was really worried, especially for her daughter. She had already suffered a lot since she was young.

"Mom, if you think so, how about we go jump into the river together?" Tang Xiao Ai asked calmly, not smiling.

In the past, it was because she was young and inexperienced, and could not bear it any longer, that she wanted to pull her mother and brother away from this house.

But now, she wasn't an ignorant youth. Even her brother knew that she had to take responsibility for the family, so how could she give up so easily?

"Little love, you... Don't talk nonsense. " Seeing her daughter's calm tone and face, Wang Xueqin knew she wasn't joking.

Tang Xiao Ai's personality was very warm, very soft, very calm, and very steady. When she seriously said something, she would really do it.

"Does Mom think that life is more painful these days than it was ten years ago?" Tang Xiao Yi asked calmly.

Ten years ago, they had lived in the latrine, and when it rained, they had to put in many pots and tiles to catch the water. At night, the three of them would huddle on the wooden bed, listening to the wind and the rain, worrying that the creditors would burn their latrine down.

Ten years ago, she was still in primary school. Every day, she dragged her little brother to school. Although her grades were outstanding, the teachers never dared to visit her home. They all knew Tang Huan's bad reputation and hid from her father.

Ten years ago, she and her brother had often been stuck in a run-down alley with their creditor's child. They had been thrown rocks and scolded for making up a doggerel. The flower her mother bought for her had also been snatched by others.

Ten years ago, she brought her brother to wash other people's clothes, make food on a stool, and walked barefoot for more than ten miles to dig up some traditional Chinese medicine like kudzu. This was because there was an old Chinese doctor in town who collected these herbs over the years and gave her a very high price. "Love, I just feel sorry for you and Wen Zheng, especially you, who are two years older than Wen Zheng and have to bear so much pressure." Wang Xueqin's eyes turned red. She was very unlucky, because she had entrusted all her life to someone else.

But how lucky was she to have two such sensible and obedient children?

God is always fair.

"If mom thinks the situation is worse than it is right now, so bad that you can't take it anymore, then brother and I are willing …"

"Mommy just wants to know where you got that money... "I'm just afraid that you'll be bullied, Little Love. I'm just afraid that you'll be bullied by others. Mom won't be able to protect you properly in this life. I'm afraid that if you get bullied, you won't say anything …" Wang Xueqin finally couldn't hold back her tears and hugged Tang Xiao Ei as she sobbed, "You've never loved to talk since you were young. You didn't like to complain or act coquettishly …" I always hoped that you would be like all the other kids, just lie there crying and reach out to me and say hug... "But you never say anything, and always get up without saying a word …"

Tang Xiao Ai's back injury was hugged by her mother, causing waves of pain.

"Mom wants to see you happy. Even if you get rid of me and your dad, as long as you can marry a good family in the future, I definitely won't be a burden to you and your dad …" Wang Xueqin cried and said, "You don't have to care about our lives … "You really don't need to worry about that anymore. As long as you can bring your little brother along and live a good life …"

"Then what's the point of me living?" Tang Xiaoyi closed her eyes. Only with her family would she be able to obtain great power.

It was love between the flesh and blood, without any benefits or use, only the most precious kinship. Whether it was status, wealth, or fame, it was the most precious, yet also the only, affection that could not be exchanged for.

"Shen Mo …" Who is he? " Wang Xueqin choked and asked.

A trace of surprise and nervousness flashed through Tang Xiao Ai's eyes.

Don't lie to Mom. Where did you get all that money from?" Shen Mo … Did he like you? Separate... Is it because of our family? " Two days ago, Wang Xueqin received a call from a cousin in the city asking about Tang Xiao Ai's matters, and told her what had happened recently. Two days ago, Wang Xu Qin received a call from a cousin in the city asking about Tang Xiao Ai's matters, and also told her what had happened recently.

Gossip and rumors were a weapon that made things lose the truth.

As for Wang Xueqin, who was not familiar with the entertainment industry, her mind was in a mess as she tried to ask Tang Wenzheng, but Wen Zheng didn't reveal anything, so she could only wait for her daughter to come back and personally interrogate her.
