Since Niu Dali asked the casino people to kneel down to apologize to them, Xia Dongcao thought that her nephew was not simple, and maybe they didn't look down on the twenty taels at all, but Xia Dongcao also has the principle of being a human being.

But while they were chatting, Lin Xiaomei suddenly said in a lost voice: "You didn't lie to me, are you?"

Erya said seriously with a little face: "Cousin, Erya never lies. Our family was also very poor before!"

Lin Damei and Lin Xiaomei's eyes were full of disbelief.

In their opinion, Da Ya and Er Ya are dressed so well, they must be either rich or noble, but Er Ya just told them that they had a hard life before.

Xia Dongcao looked over in confusion, "Big sister, what are you doing with fuss?"

Lin Xiaomei said first: "Mom, Erya told me that they used to be very hard, and often had to wear warm clothes and eat enough, and they had to do a lot of work!"

Xia Dongcao was stunned and looked at the two cute and petite little girls. She didn't believe that Da Ya and Er Ya were living such a hard life.

"Auntie, Erya is right. We haven't even eaten a full meal before." Daya's face was very serious, and it didn't seem like a lie at all.

Xia Dongcao looked at Li Xianglan.

"Auntie, the two girls didn't lie. We did not live a good life before!"

Li Xianglan sighed and told the hardships of living in the old Niu family. The eyes of Xia Dongcao and his daughter were full of disbelief.

"Then you guys?"

Li Xianglan knew what Xia Dongcao was going to ask, so she said, "Actually, this starts with Brother Dali's serious illness last year."

After Li Xianglan recovered from Niu Dali's illness, they told them all about the matters they had separated from the old Niu family.

The big worm has been killed!

Catched a big wild boar!

The recipe for raising earthworms to chickens is spread.

Make five-spice tea eggs.

One thing after another, Xia Dongcao couldn't come back to his senses.

However, Niu Dali was pulled to the inner room by Xia Changcheng. The inner room was extremely dark and airtight, and looked very damp. If it weren't for the slight light coming through the roof, I would be afraid that my hand would be out of my mind.

Despite this, Niu Dali still vaguely saw a person lying on the bed in the inner room, and his breathing was extremely weak.

Niu Dali had a vague guess in his mind, "Grandpa, you said that my grandmother is in poor health, so why do you open the window?"

If the air does not circulate, even if it is not sick, it will become sick.

Moreover, the room was gloomy and I thought I hadn't seen the light for a long time. How could this make the disease cure?

Niu Dali planned to push open the window of the inner room, but Xia Changcheng stopped him.

“Can’t open it!”

Niu Dali looked at Xia Gangcheng in confusion.

Xia Changcheng shook his head, "Your grandma is in poor health and can't breathe in the air."

Niu Dali sighed. The ancients believed that wind is the main source of all diseases, and people who get sick are often the weakest time. Therefore, in order to prevent wind, people will close the doors and windows in the house to prevent the patients in the house from catching a cold.

Xia Changcheng didn't know what Niu Dali was thinking, so he walked to the table and lit up the oil lamp on the table. The originally black painted inner room suddenly became dim.

"Since your mother went there, you've been sick, and your health has not been very good. It's sometimes good and sometimes bad. At that time, the family was in trouble and there was no money. It was also the most difficult time. Your uncle and wife ran away with someone. In order to raise money to cure your grandmother's illness, your uncle went to join the army to fight. When foreign tribes invaded Daqi, everyone who joined the army would get eight taels of silver."

"But this time, there has been no news for more than 20 years!"

Xia Changcheng burst into tears and told Niu Dali about the situation in the Xia family.

Niu Dali also got to know a little bit. He did have two uncles and one aunt.

However, the situation in the Xia family is not particularly good.

Since his mother passed away, the situation has become even worse. Grandma fell ill after falling into a girl and fell seriously ill. In order to treat her grandmother, the Xia family was selling her badly, and the family was so poor that it was so poor.

My uncle's wife couldn't stand the pain and ran away with someone.

In order to raise money, my uncle went to join the army and brought eight liang to settle the family expenses, but if he didn't go back, it would be a big disaster.

Niu Dali didn't know how to comfort Xia Changcheng. He didn't expect that his mother's family would be so hard and difficult.

"Grandpa, then why didn't you borrow money from my family back then?"

Why do you say that Niu Laogen is also the son-in-law of the Xia family? It is impossible that Niu Laogen will refuse to save him when he dies?

Xia Changcheng laughed at himself: "At that time, your uncle and uncle went to your house to borrow money. Do you know what your father said to them? He said there was no money! But at that time, he actually got married!"

"Your mother has been there for only two years, and he is in a hurry to marry the young man! Your uncle is so angry that he fights with your father."

Xia Changcheng was too regretful. If he had known that the Niu family was such an unreliable family, he would not have married his daughter.

Later, let alone, my uncle beat Niu Laogen, and Mrs. Qian said she wanted to report to the official to arrest her uncle. Niu Laogen suddenly became a good person and said that she would not bother with her uncle about beating people and told her not to come to their house again in the future.

Niu Laogen's ruthless words completely disappointed everyone in the Xia family.

Niu Dali finally understood why the Xia family had never come to Xinghua Village to visit him.

After that, my uncle and his wife ran away with someone, and my uncle went to join the army. I thought my aunt could marry a good family, but who would have thought that the family was indeed quite wealthy before, but under Lin Yongsheng's prodigal family, the family's life was getting worse day by day.

In addition, my aunt has never given birth to a son for many years, so her status in her in-laws' family is even worse.

It's better to get pregnant, but he's a girl.

"We know that you can't blame you for your mother. We have been ignoring you for years, but I didn't expect that you not only did not blame us, but also helped your aunt pay off the gambling debts!"

Xia Changcheng looked quite guilty. His eldest daughter died of difficult labor when she gave birth to a son. They always felt that if they had not been pregnant, the eldest daughter would not have to die.

"Grandpa, don't say that. It's my fault for helping you. I think my mother will be very happy when she finds out." Niu Dali said seriously with a honest face.

"You not only look like your mother, but also have the same temperament!" Xia Changcheng couldn't help but burst into tears when he thought of something.

Niu Dali knew that Xia Changcheng must have thought of his mother without asking.

In order not to let Xia grow sad, he immediately shifted the topic to his grandmother, "Grandpa, what's wrong with grandma now?"

"Your grandma's illness has always been getting better and worse, but who would have thought that at the beginning of the year, your grandma suddenly fainted and fell into a coma, and hired a doctor, who said that your grandma would not be able to live this year."

Xia Changcheng suddenly thought of something and grabbed Niu Dali's hand tightly, "Sun, tell me, did you eat something for me when I fainted?"

At that time, after he was stunned, he clearly felt something that someone had fed him, and his originally heavy body suddenly felt much more relaxed, as if he was bathed in the warm spring breeze, and his mind gradually became clear.
