Xie Rongzhao seemed to be frightened, and hugged Xie Xiuwen's neck tightly: "Dad, I'm afraid."
Xie Xiuwen quickly patted her back, really afraid that Guobao would be frightened again.
"My eldest brother and sister-in-law are really good tutors. Sister Rong comes from a girl's family and she always calls her a 'little bitch'. Are you afraid that others will think that our Xie family's girls have such a good reputation?"
Xie Xiuwen's voice was not loud and not very powerful, but his light words made several people in the room change their faces.
Xie Rongrong was so angry that she stamped her feet: "Don't slander me, I'm not afraid of you!"
Xie Rongzhao turned his head, with a cry in his voice: "Why don't you want anything from me? Didn't you take away the little lantern my uncle made for me last month? And my grandma gave it to me, too?" You also took the veil I made, why don't I give it to you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Rongzhao's tears fell down. He was obviously really wronged.
Xie Xiuwen didn't speak, just stared at the eldest couple with a cold face, while Liu Ruolan wiped away her tears while coaxing her daughter.
Grandma Xie was already annoyed with Xie Xiuwen. If it weren't for him, why would the family need fifty taels of silver?
"What's the fuss about? Children are having fun at home, why are you aggrieved! It's just a few small things, but you really think that you are a precious baby that no one else can touch?"
Xie Xiuwen's face turned even colder. He could tell that while he was talking about those things openly, he was secretly scolding his good boy!
"Hmph, whose eldest son does not inherit the family business? You go around asking around for the same reason! Now it's just a matter of giving out some money in advance. Is it worth all the fuss you brothers make?"
Grandpa Xie had long known that this old wife was too partial to Da Fang, but he didn't expect her to say such things. Wouldn't this chill the other two sons' hearts?
"Nonsense! I'm not dead yet, how can I be divided into different families?"
After finishing speaking, Mr. Xie glared at his old wife fiercely: "This family belongs to our whole family. When will we become the eldest son? Aren't the second and third sons your sons?"
Grandma Xie also knew that she had just said the wrong thing, so she wiped her eyes and did not dare to say anything.
Grandpa Xie looked at his three sons, and then said helplessly: "Sister Rong, please go back first."
Xie Rongrong was unhappy, fearing that Xie Rongzhao would accuse her behind her back after she left.
But at this moment, Mrs. Gao knew that their eldest son was being annoyed by the old man, so naturally he did not dare to cause more trouble, and kept winking at Xie Rongrong, and then coaxed him away.
"Let's do this. The eldest brother will pay thirty taels for himself, and the young master will give you twenty taels."
When Mrs. Gao heard this, she became anxious, "Dad, how can we have so much money?"
Their branch has fallen into decline, and now Mr. Xie still adheres to some high-ranking styles, just thinking about returning to his former glory.
Nowadays, the Xie family does not have much money. The men in the family only have 20 cents a month, while the women have none.
Mrs. Gao also came from an ordinary family with an average family background. It was reasonable for her to say that she could not afford thirty taels of silver.
Xie Xiuwen glanced at his hesitant father and sneered in his heart.
It's time to insert the knife!
Xie Xiuwen said quietly: "I just remembered that the Ganoderma lucidum that Sister Rong got back last month was worth how much? Why hasn't this money been handed over to my mother yet?"
After the words were settled, the whole room fell silent.
And Xie Laosan was the first to start jumping around: "What a boss! Your house is really good! I got Ganoderma lucidum and secretly sold it without paying it to the public. What do you mean? Let's write together. Second brother and I are stupid, right? Okay, you guys are really good! There is no way we can survive this day!"
boom!
Xie Laosan has an impulsive temper and loves to take action. He kicked the stool in front of him away with one kick!
Boss Xie originally wanted to show off his eldest brother's score, but he was so shocked that his legs began to weaken unconsciously.
The thing about Ganoderma lucidum is true. Xie Rongrong is fat. Last month she stole Xie Rongzhao’s bracelet with silver threads and branches. After putting it on, she went outside to show it around, and then accidentally dug up Ganoderma lucidum in the mountains.
Boss Xie and Mr. Gao are both money-minded. When they see something good that can be exchanged for money, they naturally have to hide it carefully.
Afterwards, Boss Xie took it to the medical clinic in the town. Because the Ganoderma lucidum was not too big, he only got twenty taels of silver.
When the money was in Boss Xie's hands, it was naturally impossible to give it all to Gao for safekeeping. He lied that he only sold fifteen taels and kept five taels for himself. Unexpectedly, Xie Xiuwen dug it out now.
Gao naturally refused to admit it.
Once the money is in her hands, it is naturally hers. How can she be asked to spit it out again?
"What Ganoderma lucidum? It's nothing, second brother, you can't just talk nonsense!"
Xie Xiuwen said calmly: "Really? Why don't we go to Ping An Medical Center and ask? I believe that the medicine boy and the shopkeeper still have memories of the Ganoderma lucidum matter, so they won't forget it so quickly."
If it weren't for the careful investigation in the town this time, the Ganoderma matter would have been concealed.
As soon as Boss Xie heard that he even mentioned the name of the medical clinic, he knew that this matter could not be hidden.
Gao's face turned pale with fright, and his head drooped, as if he was half dead.
Grandpa Xie thought he was the head of the family, but he never expected that his eldest son would dare to do such a little trick under his nose, and he was very angry.
"Okay! You guys are really promising! You got the benefits and you actually want to hide it from us?"
Hearing that the eldest son's family had hidden money, Mr. Xie was even more angry than when he had just learned that the eldest son was going to sell his niece.
Xie Xiuwen was naturally aware of it. He raised the corners of his lips slightly, and a faint sarcasm appeared in his eyes.
Boss Xie didn't dare to lie anymore and knelt down to apologize: "Father, to be honest, the Ganoderma lucidum was only exchanged for fifteen taels of silver. My son didn't dare to use it randomly. He just wanted to see if he could buy it for Brother Hui." Don’t dare to touch these pens, inks, paper and inkstones.”
When Xie Xiuran mentioned his son at this time, he naturally thought that his father could spare him for the sake of his eldest grandson.
Sure enough, when Grandpa Xie thought of his eldest grandson who was still in the school, his anger subsided a little.
Grandma Xie took the opportunity to say, "Don't be angry, boss. Even if the boss is at fault in this matter, he only wants to make Brother Hui successful. It is reasonable."
Xie Xiuwen had known this would happen, so he deliberately shook his head at his third brother with helpless eyes, signaling him not to go against his mother.
However, Xie Laosan became even more angry and said with an angry smile: "What mother said makes no sense? Last month, I shot a few rabbits, just thinking of leaving one for my youngest to raise and play with. I was scolded by you, saying that I don't know how to show consideration for my family. Why is it so reasonable for my eldest brother to hide fifteen taels of silver now? My eldest brother's son is your grandson, but my son is not? "
