The eldest son, Mrs. Gao, supported Grandma Xie and arrived late. She didn't see the Fang family member, but she heard Xie Laosan's questioning.
Mrs. Gao panicked and felt that things were about to get worse.
Grandma Xie also didn't expect that her second son would only be back for half a day, and the marriage would go south, and even the eldest son's gambling debt would be exposed.
"Master, don't worry. Xiu Ran didn't do it on purpose. It was all set up by the Fang family. Otherwise, how could he have lost so much money!"
Xie Xiuwen raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips tightly, trying to suppress a smile.
Unexpectedly, when my mother came, she directly exposed that layer of hypocrisy.
This saves him a lot of trouble, and the effect should be better than he expected!
Sure enough, when Mr. Xie heard what his old wife said, his eyes were as big as bells and he shouted angrily: "You bastard! You still dare to gamble. I think you are tired of living!"
No one expected that the old man would suddenly become angry. Without thinking, he threw the tea cup at Xie Xiuran's face. Although Xie Xiuran dodged it, it still hit him on the shoulder. With a snort, you knew that this force was not light.
No wonder Grandpa Xie is so angry!
The Xie family can be regarded as an official. Xie Xiuwen's great-grandfather once reached the fifth rank. However, he was dismissed from the official position because of being implicated by the main branch of the family. He then returned to his place of origin and became a wealthy man.
Due to the influence of his great-grandfather, his father Xie Cheng's future was considered dead, and he has been depressed ever since. Later, after getting married and having children, the family split up. Because he was not good at business, now, the property in Grandpa Xie's name is also gone. It's just a hundred acres of fertile land and a two-and-a-half-acre yard in the countryside.
Grandpa Xie was very resentful, and several of his brothers also criticized him. Since the separation of the family, the brothers have become much more estranged.
Perhaps because he was always holding his breath, he kept strict control over the three children, hoping that one of them would be able to succeed and shine brightly in the future. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a gambler!
And he is also his most trusted eldest son!
This really makes Grandpa Xie heartbroken.
Seeing Xie Xiuran being hit, Xie Xiuwen sneered silently, "Where are you now? You will suffer the same thing later!"
"Father, Fang Yuan said that it was my eldest brother who initiated the marriage. He knew that the Fang family was trying to protect their young daughter from disaster, so he actually pushed Zhao Zhao out, so that he could avoid the fifty-tael gambling debt. . It was only now that there were outsiders around, so it was inconvenient for my son to speak. Now that only his own family is left, I ask my father to make the decision and seek justice for my family Zhaozhao!"
Xie Xiuwen's voice was not loud, but it was extremely powerful.
After hearing this for a long time, Mr. Xie did not respond. He knew that the second son telling the truth now had already given the boss enough face. If he had said it in front of that outsider just now, he would have really embarrassed the Xie family. face!
Xie Xiuran owed gambling debts, and even thought of pushing his niece out to pay off the debts. If this spreads, their team will lose their reputation!
Grandpa Xie was furious, "You evildoer! Kneel down!"
Xie Xiuran was already panicking and did whatever he heard. When he knelt down with a plop, he couldn't help but let out another ouch. It was obvious that his knee hurt.
"Nie Zhan, I thought you couldn't study, and you could just be an idler at most. I didn't expect you to dare to gamble. I think you think your family is too comfortable, and you want to lose all your family property so that we can beg for food together!"
"Dad, I was wrong, I was really wrong. I didn't mean to do it, and I was tricked by others. Dad, I swear I didn't go there on my own initiative. I just drank too much and was deceived by them." Let's go. Dad, I originally wanted to seek justice, but the Fang family is so powerful that my son really doesn't dare to offend him!"
Xie Xiuwen said coolly: "So you dare to push my Zhaozhao out to prevent disaster?"
Xie Xiuran muttered for a long time, but couldn't squeeze out a single word.
Sister-in-law Xie Gao now also understands that the matter has been exposed. Not to mention pushing Sister Zhao out to prevent the disaster, they are afraid that a disaster in their own house is coming!
Grandma Xie glared at Xie Xiuwen with a displeased look on her face: "Second brother, how did you talk? That's your eldest brother, how can you be disrespectful to your eldest brother?"
The room was quiet for a moment, and Xie Laosan and his wife looked at their mother in disbelief. Was this the wrong point?
Xie Xiuwen seemed to have been used to this for a long time. He did not look at her. Instead, he looked directly at Mr. Xie: "Father, I only have one daughter, Zhao Zhao, under my knees. Does the elder brother act like an eldest brother?"
Grandpa Xie was about to comfort him when Grandma Xie said sharply: "Don't yell here! We all know about the marriage, and we all agreed before you came back. Do you mean that our whole family is going to harm Zhao Zhao?"
Grandma Xie is clearly trying to change the concept.
Getting married is one thing, but preventing disaster is another!
Xie Xiuwen said neither humble nor arrogantly: "So my father agrees with what my mother said and thinks that my eldest brother should push my Zhao Zhao out even though he knew it was sent to ward off disasters? Just because he owes fifty taels of gambling debt?"
Grandpa Xie opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment.
How to answer this?
No matter what, it's Xie Xiuran's fault. He's trying to harm his niece!
Seeing that Xie Xiuwen was ignoring her, Grandma Xie felt that her son had been raised in vain and she didn't care about him at all. She took two steps and raised her hand to point and scold: "You heartless bastard! All the books you have read for so many years have gone into the dog's belly? If it weren't for your eldest brother and the others to help the family, where would you have got the money to study all these years? Now that you have become a scholar, your eldest brother is no longer in my eyes? I think you are ungrateful. !”
These words made Xie Xiuwen laugh angrily.
But before he could refute, Xie Laosan spoke first.
"Mom, isn't that right? Aren't we always resting on our laurels in our family? Just like my eldest brother, he can't lift his shoulders or pick his hands. He can't even calculate an account. What can he do? If not He was confused about his own accounts, so last year our store in town wouldn’t have lost money and had to sell it!”
There was an eerie silence in the room again.
Xie Xiuwen raised the corners of his lips slightly, his third brother must be reliable!
Grandma Xie looked worried and wanted to find trouble again, but Grandpa Xie scolded her.
"Stop saying a few words! It's obvious that the boss did something wrong in this matter. Don't you even think about it. If this matter gets out, how will he go out to meet people in the future?"
Xie Xiuwen lowered his head slightly, do you think that if outsiders don't know it now, no one will know it in the future?
If you can control these people in your own family, can you also control the Fang family?
Of course, now he doesn't have the kindness to remind his parents above that if Xie Xiuran dares to think of harming his girl, then he must have the courage to bear the consequences!
