Chapter 808: Old Bones
Xie Qiao clutched her chest and frowned slightly.
Shopkeeper Chang looked at Young Lady Xie who appeared out of nowhere and thought something was strange.
Young Lady Xie had the keys to the shop and the keys to every door. Her house was in the backyard and no one was allowed to enter. Therefore, he did not know when this young lady would come and when she would leave, just like the owner, where whereabouts were very mysterious.
“Eldest Sister, don’t try to coax me. You even went to the academy to take the exam. Why couldn’t you see me?” Xie Pinghuai asked again.
This foolish brother was actually smart…
Xie Qiao’s eyes were wide open. “Well… Eldest Brother used my life as a threat… If I don’t listen to him, little brother, I won’t be able to see you now…”
Xie Pinghuai was silent for a while, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Xie Qiao felt a pang of heartache. “Sigh, this old bone of mine might as well be dead.”
Shopkeeper Chang felt his heart palpitate.
If this Young Lady Xie was an old bone, what was he? Had he turned into ashes?
“Sister, that’s not what I meant. It’s great that you’re still alive. It’s better than dying. It was my fault for being angry at you last time. Don’t be angry with me. I’ve already returned the gifts. I promise I won’t do this again in the future.” Xie Pinghuai felt conflicted, however, looking at his eldest sister, he still chose to lower his head.
No matter what, his eldest sister did it for his own good.
“Eldest Sister, have you been feeling better recently? Have you had any problems with your anger?” Xie Pinghuai still cared about Xie Qiao.
With that said, Xie Qiao sighed. “It’s an old problem. I don’t blame you. Even if you anger me to death, it’s because my body is weak. Thinking about it carefully, it’s all my fault as the eldest sister. As the saying goes, an elder sister is like a mother. We’re both motherless children. As the eldest sister, I’m so weak. I haven’t been taking care of you since I was young. It’s really a failure of duty. Sometimes, I think if I’m struggling to survive, I might as well hang myself with a rope…”
As Xie Qiao spoke, she wiped away the tears in her eyes.
There was nothing actually.
If her foolish little brother was a gentleman and a good kid who did not need to be worried about, why would she play such tricks?!
As an elder sister, it was not easy for her to learn to act!
As expected, with her words, Xie Pinghuai’s guilt immediately surfaced. “Elder Sister! “You’re not much older than me, but you’re much more sensible than me. I’m a boy, so it’s only right for me to suffer a little! Don’t take this small matter to heart. We can live as long as we can. If you die one day, I will definitely bury you in glory. No matter what, you won’t be wronged!”
Now that he knew that his eldest sister was not killed by him, he felt much better.
All the mistakes were his eldest brother’s fault. How could he use his eldest sister’s life to deceive him?!
He was too indecent!
Xie Qiao smiled in relief. “You’re really a good little brother.”
Xie Pinghuai exhaled. “I spent quite a lot of money here before. Eldest Sister, you weren’t in here at that time, were you?”
“Of course not!” Xie Qiao sat up straight and looked at his little brother with sincere eyes.
Xie Pinghuai felt much more at ease.
His eyes were also a little red.
Recently, he had suffered too much. “Elder Sister, you’ve no idea. Aunt Lin has also moved away recently. I heard that she went back to her hometown. Sigh, Aunt must also hate me very much…”
Xie Qiao did not dare to say that Lin Yaxiang lived in a village in the suburbs of the capital.
“Work hard. If you perform well, I will talk to Eldest Brother. During the new year, I will invite Aunt Lin over and see you often. Is that okay?” Xie Qiao asked..
