When Xiang Ci fell down, Xiang Ling caught her and prevented her from falling to the ground.

Seeing this, everyone immediately reached out to Xiang Ci, wanting to pick her up.

Seeing Xiang Ling following her, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Erya saw Xiang Ci, who was just sitting on a stool and almost fell off, making the whole family feel distressed. She was extremely envious.

She didn't mean to let her family treat her as a treasure. She just wanted to be able to eat two meals a day, and she was extremely grateful.

Xiang Ci sat down with a smile and gave an apologetic smile to his family: "I'm sorry, I couldn't sit still. I'm a little hungry."

Mrs. Cui stood up suddenly: "Oh, okay, wait a minute, I'll bring you some rice."

Ye Kai hurriedly handed her his small bench: "Would you like to sit on this?"

Xiang Ci and Xiang Ling were sitting on a long bench. If someone stood up at one end, the person at the other end might fall.

Sitting on a small bench reduces the possibility of avoiding falls.

Xiang Ci hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands and said no, then quickly glanced at Xiaoliu, who was paralyzed.

Her heart was filled with turmoil. In the scene she saw just now, the man wearing a red wedding dress and smiling was actually Xiaoliu!

The paralyzed Xiaoliu actually got married to Erya!

This was even more surprising to her than hearing that Sun Wukong and Bone Demon were in love.

It’s incredible!

Because of the horrifying scene he just saw, Xiang Ci paid more curious attention to Erya and the others.

She didn't dare to look at Xiang Xinjin. As smart as he was, if she looked at him a few more times, he would definitely talk her away.

And she doesn't want to talk about it now.

Everyone has their own marriage, and she doesn't want to cause some unspeakable joy or resentment because of her interference.

Therefore, they should let them develop as they wish, instead of asking Xiao Liu to agree to marry Er Ya just because he said that Er Ya would marry Xiao Liu in the future.

This is immoral.

Mrs. Cui brought the rice, and Xiang Ci wolfed it down before her stomach growled. She didn't see Erya's inquiring eyes.

Mr. Xiang continued: "Even if a scholar guarantees you to open a female household, there are still two years. At this time, you can't go out during the day, there are wild animals at night, and food cannot be grown. How can the five of you live for two years?"

Erya, who had no confidence in her heart at all, did not dare to be stubborn anymore. She kowtowed to Mr. Xiang again and choked with sobs: "I beg you, grandpa, to show me a clear path."

This girl is quite polite. If it weren't for the natural disaster, she and her four younger sisters would settle down in Xiangjia Village, and with her grandfather's protection, she should have no problem surviving.

But now that the weather is bad, before the disaster, it was really difficult.

Mr. Xiang bit his pipe and glanced around his family, finally landing on Ye Kai's face: "Happy, what do you think?"

Ye Kai was in the most difficult position. He didn't know Erya, and he didn't care about them, so no one said anything.

But they are the great-granddaughters of his step-grandfather's brother, and he is their cousin. This is a bit of a connection, and he should accept them.

Just like how step-grandpa's brother used to help step-grandpa and grandma.

But he himself lives in other people's homes, how can he save others?

Where did he get food to feed them before the great disaster?

Ye Kai was very embarrassed. He watched Erya and the others open their mouths, but didn't say a word. Finally, he looked at Mr. Xiang and said, "Grandpa, I don't know."

Xiang Ci also felt sorry for Ye Kai. He was only seventeen years old, and five and a half-year-old nieces suddenly appeared for him to take care of. How could he make the decision.

Mr. Xiang sighed lightly: "I have two suggestions. One is that they settle in our village and let them survive on their own."

After saying this, the hall fell silent, no one made a sound.

Even Xiaobao, who was grabbing his feet and spitting bubbles, didn't make a sound at this time.

Erya knelt straight, and the tears in her eyes were stubborn and refused to fall, which made people feel even more distressed.

Xiang Xinjin glanced at her and looked away, his face so paralyzed that it felt like a storm was coming.

Mr. Xiang added: "Second, let them live in our house, how do you choose?"

There was still no sound in the main room. Xiang Ci held his breath, fearing that his breathing would interfere with everyone's decision.

She wanted to keep Erya here, but she didn't want to be the decision-maker.

If he said that he would keep Erya and the others, his family would definitely agree.

But she doesn't have the ability to support them.

With five mouths, even if I eat only average food, I can’t withstand the pressure of five more mouths.

Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent.

A tear fell from Erya's eye. She raised her head slightly and clenched her fists to prevent herself from crying.

This family has a good atmosphere, so of course she wants to stay.

But she has no position, she can't leave her suffering to others, she has hands, she can take care of her sisters' lives by herself, and she can't drag down other people's families.

Knowing that there was no hope, Erya tried her best to smile: "Grandpa..."

"Vote."

Two voices sounded at the same time, and everyone immediately looked at Xiang Xinjin who said, "Vote."

Xiang Xinjin looked at everyone with an expressionless face: "Vote, write on the paper whether to stay or not. If there are more than not, then let them stay."

"If not keeping them is better than keeping them, then let them settle in Xiangjia Village and fend for themselves."

The last four words made Xiang Ci shudder. She wanted to stand up and shout at Xiang Xiaoliu: Xiang Xiaoliu, that is your future wife. How could you say such things as to let her fend for herself? Do you not want a wife? ?

But she didn't dare.

Looking at Xiang Xiaoliu's cold face, she was a little doubtful. If she said this now, would Xiang Xiaoliu kill Erya in advance?

No, no, no, Brother Six is ​​still kind-hearted, he would not do such a crazy thing.

But she didn't dare to gamble.

Mr. Xiang hesitated for a moment and nodded at Xiang Xinjin's suggestion: "Okay, let's do it like this. Bring me a pen and paper."

After the paper and pen are brought, everyone writes what they want to write.

Xiang Ci stuffed the last mouthful of rice into his mouth before picking up his pen to write.

Erya, who had already stood up, looked at the room where all the men and women, old and young, big and small, could pick up a pen and write, and felt extremely envious in her heart.

It turns out that except for villages like the Gao family, all the girls in other villages can read.

Seeing that Dabao, who is not even six years old, can even pick up a pen and write, Erya lowers his head in envy, then raises his head again after taking a breath.

Her envy is obvious to others, so why should she bow her head?

After everyone finished writing, they handed the paper to Mr. Xiang.

Mr. Xiang took everyone's paper strings and was about to open them, but Xiang Xinjin stepped forward and disrupted all the folded papers.

When he was confused, he glanced at Erya lightly.

Xiang Ci, who had been paying attention to Erya and Xiang Xinjin, saw Xiang Xinjin looking at Erya, and she also looked at Erya in confusion.

Erya's eyes kept following Xiang Xinjin's movements.

This look... Xiang Ci felt like he was watching a gambler record his cards.
