Chapter 1079 Different Treatment
She had just come out of the tiger’s den, and now she was in the wolf’s den.
Fortunately, before she could protect her things, Xie Qiao arrived. Behind Xie Qiao were Chun Er and Granny Wan. Each of them was carrying a small box in their hands.
“What are you doing? Are you trying to steal Xi’er’s things?” Xie Qiao glanced at her father and eldest brother as soon as she entered the courtyard. Then, she glared at Xie Pinghuai.
Her family lacked everything except excitement.
They were a bunch of tigers and wolves.
“I didn’t steal it. I don’t know what she’s carrying!” Xie Niushan immediately said, “My daughter, what good things are you carrying?” Xie Qiao walked forward and stuffed the things in her hands into Xie Niushan’s hands. “Father, I made a small fortune today. This is money for Father to buy some wine.”
Xie Niushan’s eyes lit up.
He opened it.
The box was not big. There were two 20 taels of gold ingots and a few silver ingots in it.
Xie Niushan was under Xie Xi’s strict control. He was already very happy to have some pocket money. He was not picky. “My daughter still loves me!”
His eldest daughter gave him pocket money while the younger daughter took care of the family assets. Look, this family was becoming more and more prosperous.
However, his sons were terrible. They did not know how to show filial piety to their father!
“So these two sets belong to me and my second brother?” Xie Pinggang took them over.
He opened them and found that his own set was exactly the same as his father’s.
The gold ingots were not much, so it was more convenient to exchange them for silver. In such a small box, there was the value of 500 taels of silver.
She was very generous.
It was sad for Xie Pinghuai’s part.
There were only silver ingots, a total of a hundred taels.
“Why do I have so little…” Xie Pinghuai felt unbalanced.
The other three people had the same amount of gold and silver. Of course, gold was more valuable. His sister had more.
Only he had silver ingots, and there were not many of them.
“Are you not willing to take this free money?” Xie Qiao frowned. “No!” Xie Pinghuai quickly shouted, “No! I don’t think it’s too little!”
“That’s right. Initially, you and Xi’er should have been given 50 gold ingots each. But today, when I looked for you to go out with me, you complained that I was seeking death and refused to go, so you won’t be given the same amount,” Xie Qiao said with a smile.
Xie Pinghuai felt extremely regretful. If he had known this would happen, he would have crawled out even if he had to crawl!
“Oh right, I heard that you still owe Xi’er money. It’s the new year, so it’s time to settle the debt, right?” Xie Qiao said very calmly.
If she did not stand up for Xie Xi, she really could not expect them to pay back the money that they had borrowed!
Her biological father had clearly settled the debt. Showing filial piety was showing filial piety, and paying debt was paying debt!
Xie Pinggang was also quite happy.
He returned the money he had borrowed on the spot. However, he was thinking that Xie Qiao had done quite a number of things. The share that the master had given her was more than what he had expected. He wondered what kind of treasure chest it was that she was able to dig out to have so much gold and silver…
Now that he had received the benefits, it was inappropriate for him to ask about it anymore.
He had returned the money, and there was still a profit. It was the same for Xie Niushan. He still had to be happy with the money.
Xie Pinghuai was the only one left…
He only got a hundred taels of silver, yet he had to return nearly 80 taels of silver…
However, the other two men in the family had already paid the debt. If he did not pay, he would not be able to compare to his biological father and eldest brother. Since he was inferior, he gritted his teeth and handed the silver over.
Xie Xi was giving back his change in a decent manner.
She brought out a small scale and was going cut the silver into pieces. Xie Pinghuai was not even willing to look at it. “I’ll return 80 taels of silver to you. You don’t have to cut them up. It’s troublesome.”
After saying that, he even cautiously glanced at Xie Qiao.
In his eldest sister’s eyes, was he different from eldest brother?
She had given so much to his eldest brother, yet she had given so little to him…
It was not that he disliked the lack of things, but he did not like the… different treatment.
