Chapter 279: A Series of Bad Luck
After the two brothers thought about it, they understood what was happening.
Since having his daughter’s guidance, this Xie Niushan did not like them anymore, so he came to stir trouble with them!
“Second Brother, you’ve disappointed us too much. The things you gave us, weren’t they to show respect to Mother? Now you want them back. Mother gave you a life! If Mother goes back on her word, can she kill you?!” Xie Mangshan said.
Xie Congshan immediately nodded, “That’s right, it’s just a few pieces of junk, and you insist on saying they’re worth 50,000 to 60,000 taels of silvers. Who are you lying to?! Outsiders know better than you how much money your family has! I just didn’t expect that you would even disregard your own brothers and say such a lie!”
When Xie Niushan heard these words, he was stunned.
“What I said is true!” Xie Niushan was angry.
However, what he got was them rolling their eyes at him.
“You came to cause a ruckus early in the morning because you think that our Mother has lived too long, is it?!” Xie Mangshan showed his stance as the eldest brother, “We don’t have silver. There are several lives here. Just take the lives of your family!”
Xie Niushan initially thought this trip would definitely be a fruitful one.
He did not understand. His brothers and mother were not high-ranking officials. Normally, they would not use much silver. Could they not take the pity of him being cheated by Ms. Lu and return the items?
The truth was, they did not.
Not only did they not return the things, they wanted to chase him out.
Xie Niushan had a bad temper.
After feeling the malice from his brother, he became angry.
He immediately stood up and smashed the things.
“You guys are spending my silver so carefreely, aren’t you?! If you don’t return the things, I will really chop you guys up!” Xie Niushan looked fierce.
The old lady looked at him and sat on the ground. She began to cry, “Oh god! Just strike me with lightning. How did I give birth to such an unfilial thing? You want to kill your brothers to anger me to death for such a small matter…”
When Xie Niushan heard that, he stopped.
He glared at the old lady angrily.
“You guys take whatever Ms. Lu gives you. You’ve received so many things from me. Have you ever sent a gift back to my house?!” Xie Niushan suddenly remembered and said angrily.
The old lady was still crying, but she did not agree with his words.
It was only right for a son to be filial to his mother!
Xie Niushan let out a breath, “Fine! Just cry! In the future, there will be nothing left for you guys! Do you expect me to give you more? No way!”
He was furious.
He flung his sleeves and left.
On the way back, he felt wronged.
He was not dumb. He was worried that he would not be able to get the silver back.
Even if he could get them back from his colleagues, what would happen after he got them back? Would he not lose his dignity?
After Xie Niushan calmed down, he felt as though he was carrying a huge mountain on his back. It was extremely heavy.
The treasures that he had painstakingly hidden were all gone. All of them were gone!
As for his daughter, she needed several hundred taels of silvers worth of supplements to maintain her health…
He, Xie Niushan, had run amok for decades. It was not easy for him to become an official, but he could not even afford to raise a child!
Xie Niushan was extremely vexed.
On the other hand, the steward had already explained the situation to Xie Qiao.
The new steward was quite intelligent and knew who could speak up in this family. Now that the old master was acting so crazy, it was quite scary. It was better to inform the First Young Lady first and make preparations.
Moreover, the young lady was so weak. If she was scared to death by her biological father, it would be horrible if it spread.
Xie Qiao was shocked to hear the steward’s story.
“How many good stuff were lost to make my Father so angry?” Xie Qiao could not help but wonder if she removed too many talismans from her yesterday that caused her father’s series of bad luck.
