Chapter 275: No Big Deal to Get Rid of Worldly Possessions
In the armory, there were 18 different types of weapons.
Xie Niushan first looked at his armory with satisfaction. Then, he walked to the metal box, dropped the lock, and opened it.
He obtained the things inside from his years of being a bandit and fighting barbarians. Each of them was worth a lot!
Xie Niushan smiled.
The box was opened bit by bit.
Suddenly, Xie Niushan’s smile froze.
The metal box in front of him… how come… It was empty?!
“Men! Men!” Xie Niushan howled, “Where are my treasures?!”
The new steward was called over immediately. He looked troubled, especially when he saw Xie Niushan’s livid face. He was frightened.
“Master, what treasure? I just became a steward. Don’t you know that?” The steward said helplessly.
When he first arrived at the Xie Residence, he thought that he would be placed in an important position. Who knew that he would be suppressed for several years. Now that he had climbed up with great difficulty, he realized that this master was really hard to please!
“Call that brat Xie Pinggang over!” Xie Niushan’s voice sounded as if it was about to tear apart, causing people’s scalps to go numb.
That brat must have taken it!
The steward immediately went to get Xie Pinggang over. Not only did Xie Pinggang come over, even Xie Pinghuai and Xie Xi came over confused.
“Father, why are you mad? We didn’t do anything bad,” after Xie Pinghuai arrived, he said somewhat gloomily, “Are you panicking because Mother isn’t here? Why don’t you… Get her back…? Ah!”
Before he could finish his sentence, Xie Pinggang slapped him.
Xie Pinghuai pouted, feeling wronged.
His eldest sister was his family, but Ms. Lu had raised him for several years…
In the past, when Ms. Lu was around, he was living a good life. He never lacked money, nor did he lack delicious snacks. Now… he had not eaten chestnuts for a few days.
“Who took the things in my box?! Hurry up and hand them over to me!” Xie Niushan said angrily.
When Xie Pinggang heard that, he smirked coldly, “Only now do you remember your box of things?”
“What do you mean?!” Xie Niushan was upset.
“The things in your box have been gone for a long time. I thought you knew about it,” Xie Pinggang said casually, “Earlier, you said that it’s no big deal to get rid of worldly possessions. Why are you so mad now?”
After saying that, he sneered.
When Xie Niushan heard that, he almost fumed, “When did I say these words?!”
“Ms. Lu entered the house a month ago. She said her nephew had a baby. She asked for your opinion and took a jade bangle from your box. Do you remember that?” Xie Pinggang said calmly.
Xie Niushan tried hard to think.
He remembered.
“Yes, that happened. I allowed it,” Xie Niushan said, “She stayed with her family for a few years after her first divorce. Since she married me, I naturally had to give her pride. I agreed to let her send an expensive gift to show how much I value her. What’s wrong with that?”
“At that time, I told you that if Ms. Lu wanted to spend money, she could use the account. If she wanted to buy anything, she could just take the money and spend it. It’s better not to touch the things in this box. You didn’t listen to me and didn’t take me seriously. All these years, Ms. Lu has sent gifts everywhere. What do you think she was sending?” Xie Pinggang said again.
Xie Niushan was a little dumbfounded, “You mean, she sent out all of the things in this box?! Impossible, there were so many of them. Who could she have given them to?!”
The treasures in his box were really valuable!
How could she give them away just like that?!
