Chapter 215 Moral Blackmail of the Xie Family
He seemed to be asking, but he had no intention of asking at all.
He walked straight into the wooden shed which was not very big to begin with.
Although the house is surrounded by simple wooden boards, the temperature is still higher than sitting outside on the open air.
After Xie Lin went in, Hu Yingying, who was kneeling on the ground burning paper, timidly raised her head and looked at the handsome and tall man who walked in with a cold aura.
There was a glimmer of admiration in his eyes.
But soon, the admiration disappeared.
Xie Lin had already walked to the bedside.
He bent down slightly and checked carefully, and found that Hu Guizi had indeed died of cold.
This can be seen from his expression.
After confirming that there were no external injuries, Xie Lin stood up and turned around, "Who are his family members?"
"My daughter is."
Hu Yingying raised her head and answered in a weak voice.
Xie Lin nodded, "Is the deceased your father?"
"Yes."
"What happened last night? Did you hear any noise before your father froze to death?"
Xie Lin is not too old, at least among the men in front of him, he is not the oldest.
But the pressure accumulated in him is no less.
Although he did not deliberately lower the temperature of his voice when asking the questions, people could still feel a sense of pressure and chill.
It was just a simple question, but it gave people the feeling that they shouldn't even think about lying, as lying wouldn't work for him.
Hu Yingying raised her head and looked at Xie Lin in surprise.
Obviously, he was frightened by the cold aura brought by Xie Lin.
"Ok?"
Xie Lin added with some displeasure.
"It's not convenient to say?"
Wang Liu, who was beside Hu Yingying, reached out and touched Hu Yingying. The stunned Hu Yingying came to her senses and lowered her head quickly.
"In reply to Third Master, I went to bed after dark last night. When I woke up this morning, I found out that my father...my father...was gone...wuwuwu..."
According to Hu Yingying, she slept too soundly last night and didn't notice anything unusual.
When she woke up this morning, her father was no longer breathing.
"Where is your room?"
Xie Lin asked.
Hu Yingying was stunned for a moment. "Third Master?"
"It was cold last night. You were able to sleep well even though your dad froze to death. It makes me curious about the environment you live in."
Xie Chang had been listening to his brother's words. When he saw Hu Yingying questioning her third brother's intentions, he walked over and added an explanation.
The third brother in their family has a cold personality and doesn't like to waste time talking to others.
As the eldest brother, Xie Chang can only take the responsibility of explaining.
However, after Xie Chang said this, the others also reacted.
The Hu family only has two wooden houses, and the environments are almost the same. How come Hu Guizi froze to death while Hu Yingying was fine?
Under everyone's doubts, Hu Yingying had no choice but to cry and say, "My father loves me and gave me his quilt at night..."
"It's all my fault. I killed my father. If it weren't for me, my father wouldn't have frozen to death. It's all my fault..."
Hu Yingying was so heartbroken that she even wanted to kill herself by hitting her head against a wall.
If Wang Liu hadn't pulled her back in time, she would have probably crashed into the wall and died.
Xie Lin originally wanted to say something else, but Hu Yingying kept crying so hard that his eyebrows throbbed with pain.
Really noisy.
So annoying.
Xie Lin opened his mouth and wanted to scold Hu Yingying.
Xie Chang gave him a look, asking him to be patient.
After all, the other party's father just died.
Xie Lin paused, pursed his lips, turned around and left the Hu family.
As for what happened next, he no longer asked.
Under the organization of Xie Chang and Xie Yuan, the strong laborers from the Hu family's neighbors carried the body of Hu Guizi to the foot of a distant mountain and chose a place to bury it.
When the last handful of soil fell, Xie Chang and Xie Yuan's mission was completed.
The rest of the matter, helping to comfort and take care of Hu Yingying, is the Wang family's responsibility.
After all, Hu Yingying is a real relative of theirs and has nothing to do with their Xie family.
Xie Chang and Xie Yuan returned home.
He washed his hands first and changed into clean clothes before going to the compound to report what had happened to the old lady.
After listening to this, the old lady nodded slowly.
"It's a poor one."
She is kind-hearted and puts herself in Hu Yingying's shoes, feeling that her life is not easy.
Xie Lin stood aside, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Seeing his reaction, the old lady asked, "What's wrong, San'er? What's the matter?"
"fine."
Xie Lin came back to his senses and replied softly, "I just think that the death of that Hu Quezi is a little strange."
"Oh, what do you say?"
The old lady really believed what her grandson said.
So when Xie Lin raised his objection, she immediately started asking further questions.
Just as Xie Lin was about to speak, Xie Su walked in from outside.
"Mother, the girl from the Hu family knelt outside our house and said that she wanted to repay our kindness and was willing to sell herself to our family and work like a slave."
Old Mrs. Xie frowned. "How could our Xie family be such a person?"
When she asked Xie Chang and Xie Yuan to help, she didn't think of asking them to sell themselves and become slaves or something.
She would never be able to do such a thing.
Thinking of the snowy weather and the sight of a girl whose father had just died kneeling in the snow, the old lady felt a little sorry for her.
He said to Xie Su: "Let her go home. Don't think too much. Living a good life is the best reward for us."
"mother……"
Xie Su was in a bit of a dilemma.
The old lady asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
"I told her everything you said, but she still refused to get up and leave."
Mrs. Xie Su thought about what Hu Yingying said and felt a little embarrassed. "She said that if our family didn't buy her out, she wouldn't survive this winter and would soon freeze to death like her father."
As I said before, whether it is Old Lady Xie or Mrs. Xie Su, they are both kind-hearted people.
They really couldn't bear to be cruel to a girl who looked so miserable and pitiful with the naked eye.
As a result, Mrs. Xie began to waver.
"This……"
She also hesitated, wondering if her decision would actually kill a life.
"grandmother."
Xie Lin, who had been listening on the side, spoke again at this time. He looked at his elder and second sister-in-law.
"Sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, are you able to handle the housework at home?"
His meaning was very clear. If the eldest and second sisters-in-law were too busy, then the family could consider hiring a maid.
But if you are busy, then there is no need for this.
Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie didn't expect that they would be asked for their opinions. After thinking for a while, they quickly said, "There's not much to do in the kitchen. With Yunying and Yunyao helping us, it's easy for us."
