Chapter 2256: There Is a Wolf in the House, Keep Away From Strangers 39

Before Xi Ying came in, Zhang Tianhui seemed to have said a lot to the village chief.

When he heard the last sentence, the village chief had stood up from his chair and was ready to leave.

"Village chief, I'm not impulsive." Xi Ying walked up quickly.

"Dad, did my second brother owe twenty taels of gambling debt outside?" She asked Zhang Tianhui directly.

"Why do you say such things in front of the village chief, kid?" Zhang Tianhui was almost mad at his little daughter.

Gambling is a very bad thing in the eyes of the villagers.

Although his second son loves gambling, his family has concealed it well for so long that no other villagers know.

They all thought that the second son was also diligent and capable.

Now that Xi Ying said this, well, the villagers didn't know, and the village chief knew it directly!

"I'm just asking you if it's true?" Xi Ying still asked.

"You!" Zhang Tianhui couldn't catch his breath and almost died.

The second son of the Zhang family hurried forward and patted his back to relieve his breath.

"Little sister, please stop talking. Dad is almost fainted by you today!"

"I just asked Dad a question. Why didn't Dad answer me? Yes means yes, no means no. Is it that difficult?"

Xi Ying originally thought that things could be very simple, but she couldn't understand why Zhang Tianhui could always make simple things complicated.

"Second boy, do you owe twenty taels of debt outside?" Seeing that Zhang Tianhui was in a bad state, the village chief asked the second son of the Zhang family directly.

The second son looked at Zhang Tianhui in embarrassment, and then looked at the village chief.

In the eyes of the villagers in this village, the position of the village chief can be said to be very important.

They dare not lie to the village chief, otherwise if they are found to have lied in the future, the village chief will never trust them again, and will not think of them for any good things.

So, the second son of the Zhang family lowered his head and said "um" vaguely.

"Well, village chief, Mr. Zhu, I asked you to come here to let you bear witness for me." Xi Ying took out the purse containing twenty taels of silver and put it on the table.

"There are twenty taels of silver in here, which I earned through legitimate means. I will give them all to my second brother so that he can pay off his gambling debts."

Hearing Xi Ying's words, Zhang Tianhui, who was out of breath just now, stood up immediately, as if nothing had happened.

He looked at Xi Ying in disbelief, "Manqing, what did you say? You want to give all these twenty taels to your second brother to pay off his gambling debts?"

"Yes, pay off his gambling debts."

"Oh, Dad really didn't expect you to be so filial! Dad wrongly blamed you before, and Dad apologizes to you here." Zhang Tianhui's attitude towards Xi Ying immediately changed drastically.

The second son of the Zhang family also smiled at Xi Ying: "Little sister, I apologize to you too. I didn't expect you to feel so sorry for me."

Xi Ying ignored the father and son, and continued to say to the village chief: "Village chief, I helped my family get through this difficult time, and I also proved that I can support myself, so I want to be independent from the Zhang family. 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, will 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 just spoken to her in a soft voice, immediately changed his expression.
