Upon hearing Xue Baochai's question, Aunt Xue cried: "This time, he didn't get into trouble, but he might as well have gotten into trouble!"
Xue Baochai asked quickly: "Mom, tell me quickly, what bad thing did brother do again?"
Aunt Xue cried: "Your brother knew that your aunt disliked Brother Huan and kicked him out of the house. But your brother is so stupid and dirty. Not only did he invite Brother Huan to dinner yesterday, but he also gave it to Brother Huan. Three thousand taels of silver."
"It's just three thousand taels of silver. It's nothing to put in our house. But what will your aunt think if it's just this? This stupid thing, how did he ever think about how difficult it would be for me to do things? How did he ever think about you in Jia? How does the government handle itself?"
Hearing this, Xue Baochai was speechless for a while.
After thinking about it, she persuaded: "Mom, it's actually irrelevant. Doesn't my aunt know that my brother is a confused person and does things indiscriminately? Although my brother is confused about this matter, my mother doesn't have to be like this. sad."
Aunt Xue sighed: "This is not over yet! Today, this evil beast went to the Rongchang store on East Street and asked shopkeeper Gao to take 10,000 taels of silver and buy a lot of useless things such as pollen. "
"They also said that the Rongchang store will be vacated. In a few days, they will specialize in selling water. My son, tell me, the Rongchang store is the most prosperous store in our family, and now this evil beast is actually going to vacate it. Selling that Lao Shi Zi water, isn’t this really going to ruin the foundation of our Xue family?”
"If some ignorant and despicable person doesn't care about things and lets him spend his days and nights, our family's wealth will be ruined for the rest of his life. But now this evil beast is getting more and more ridiculous. If this continues, I'm afraid it won't be long before he... You want to destroy the foundation of my Xue family."
"When the time comes, what dignity will I have to see your father after I die? Oh, how can I explain to the ancestors of the Xue family?"
Hearing this, Xue Baochai also had a look of horror on his face.
Xue Baochai knew that what her mother said was very reasonable.
The Xue family's shops were open throughout most of the summer.
Although profits have gradually decreased in the past two years, and are not as good as the previous year, they are still golden chickens that can only lay eggs.
No matter how much Xue Pan ruined his fortune, these shops would still make profits every year and would not be ruined by him.
But what Xue Pan did now was clearly to kill this golden chicken that could only lay eggs.
Xue Baochai said quickly: "Mom, don't worry too much. My brother must be trying to get better and do some business. Don't be anxious. Ask someone to call him back and ask him what the reason is before making any fuss."
Aunt Xue sighed: "I've already sent someone to call him. I'm afraid he will be back soon."
Sure enough, Xue Pan walked in without much effort.
He asked with joy on his face: "Mom, why did you ask me to come back? I'm doing big things now and I'm busy. I'm going to work again. Hey, my sister is at home too?"
It's okay if Xue Pan didn't say that, but when he said that, he immediately aroused the infinite anger in Aunt Xue's heart.
She couldn't help but scolded: "You dirty bitch? What are you doing? Do you have to ruin the whole family and make me angry to death to satisfy you?"
Xue Pan asked inexplicably: "Mom, you are so clueless that it makes it difficult for me to answer. What on earth did I do that you said that about me?"
Aunt Xue couldn't help but scolded: "You dirty bitch, let me ask you, did you treat Brother Huan to a drink yesterday and gave him three thousand taels of silver?"
Xue Pan nodded and said: "Yes, what's the matter, Mom? Brother Huan is a scholar, and he is the Wenqu star from the sky. Brother Huan doesn't think I'm a rough man, and he wholeheartedly advises me to be good. I'm already a master of Huan." Brother sees it as his biological father..."
Xue Baochai immediately said angrily: "Brother, stop talking. What nonsense are you talking about?"
Aunt Xue was so angry that she trembled all over. She trembled and said: "You are such an evildoer, do you know that your aunt despises Brother Huan? Brother Huan was kicked out of Jia Mansion by your aunt? If you do this, What do you want your aunt to think? How do you want your sister and I to behave?"
Hearing this, Xue Pan also got angry: "Mom, I didn't say that what aunt did is something that a human can do? What's wrong with Brother Huan?"
"I certainly know what my mother and sister are thinking. You all want to marry your sister to Baoyu. But Baoyu is a good one? What benefits will my sister get from marrying him?"
"In my opinion, it's better to betroth your sister to Brother Huan! Brother Huan is a Wenqu star in the sky who has descended to earth. He will definitely be the number one scholar in high school and become an official in the future. Isn't it thousands of times better than that precious jade?"
Hearing this, Xue Baochai was ashamed and angry. She held Aunt Xue's hand angrily and cried bitterly.
Aunt Xue patted Xue Baochai's hand and said, "My son, don't be like that evil beast. I will make the decision for you."
Aunt Xue said sharply to Xue Pan: "You bastard, do you know what you said? Is this what a brother said?"
Xue Pan frowned and said, "Mom, are you being unreasonable? A brother is like a father. I am now my sister's brother. Is it wrong for me to care about my sister's life-long events?"
Seeing that Xue Baochai was not angry, Aunt Xue didn't want to waste any more words with Xue Pan. She said angrily: "Let's not talk about this matter for now. I will ask you again. You go to the Rongchang store on East Street today and ask shopkeeper Gao to Why are you buying those things? You have to vacate the Rongchang store and sell water from Laoshizi!"
"You evil beast, do you have to destroy my Xue family's fortune before you can stop? You might as well find a rope and strangle me to death so that I can't see you."
Xue Pan blushed and said angrily: "Mom, you often think that I don't learn well and only know how to drink and mess around. Now I don't mess around with those people and I don't cause trouble anymore. I really want to do business and I just want to learn well." , Mom won’t allow it again.”
"Do you have to be the same mother as before? Humph! Wait a few days until I earn money, and then you will know about me!"
After saying that, Xue Pan walked out angrily.
Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai, mother and daughter, were left holding each other's arms and crying.
After crying for a while, although Xue Baochai was very sad, she still tried hard to hold back her tears and advised Aunt Xue:
"Mom, although brother is confused, he also has good intentions. Now that he is willing to make progress, although he will inevitably lose money, it is also good to spend money to teach him a lesson."
"After suffering this loss, he will never do such ridiculous things in the future. Even if a shop is completely wiped out and only tens of thousands of taels of silver are left, our family cannot afford to lose it."
"If my brother can really learn well, he will actually make money. Why should my mother be sad?"
Aunt Xue was persuaded to hold back her tears and said: "I have no hope for this evil beast, just let him do whatever he wants."
"As you said, even if he loses money, it's just a shop and tens of thousands of taels of silver. I just hope he can learn this lesson and stop messing around in the future."
