Chapter 488: The Villain in His Life
The old lady looked at the empty box and collapsed to the ground. Her mind was ringing, and she felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck her head, almost knocking her over.
“Thief! There was a thief!” The old lady shouted.
On the other side, Ms. Jia, Ms. Xin and all of the children rushed out.
Ms. Jia and Ms. Xin looked at each other, and then burst into tears at the same time, “T-The silver notes that I worked so hard to gather are gone! All of them are gone! The silver that I saved from m-my son to get married is gone!”
As if someone had died, the entire courtyard was filled with wails.
Xie Congshan’s eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was ferocious as he hurriedly said, “Report to the authorities! Report to the authorities immediately!”
Xie Mangshan just happened to arrive.
When he heard that, his expression was calm, “Report to the authorities for what? If you lost your things, so be it. They’ll come back in the future. Let’s have a good night’s sleep. Tomorrow morning, get up and pack your things. We’re moving out.”
When he said that, everyone’s cries stopped.
Move out?
Why would they move out?
“It was you?! Eldest Brother, was it you? It was no wonder you suddenly bought so much good wine and food. Did you drug all of us?!” Xie Congshan said angrily.
No wonder. It was still early in the morning before, but now, when he opened his eyes, the sky was already dark!
Xie Mangshan looked at his younger brother who was angrily criticizing him, and all he could think of was what the master had said.
He was the villain in his life.
See, he had not told him where the silver went yet, and now he looked like he was going to eat him up. If he knew what he had done, would he not use a blade to chop him up?
“Third Brother, why are you so angry? I did take all the silver. Didn’t I drug you guys because I was worried that you guys would be upset? Don’t worry, the silver and these belongings are not gone. They are all in Second Brother’s house. In a few days, he will return them to us,” Xie Mangshan said very calmly.
However, everyone was dumbfounded.
“Why did you give them to Second Brother?! He’s wealthy, why does he need us?! Eldest Brother, are you out of your mind? Why are you doing this? The house is empty. What do we eat and wear now?!” Xie Congshan was really on the verge of breaking down.
When he looked at his house earlier, almost everything in the box was gone!
Not only the silver, his few decent clothes and shoes too were gone!
Now, he was only left with this set of decent clothes!
What would he do when he went out in the future? What would he do when he met his friends?! Moreover, his son was already engaged. Without money, how could he get married?!
“What do you know?! I’m about to face a calamity. I’m spending money to avoid the calamity. I didn’t give the things to anyone else. What are you worried about since I gave them to Second Brother?” Xie Mangshan was exhausted. He had been busy all day. It was not easy for him to move so many things, right?
“Alright, stop talking. Go to bed early. I’ve sold this house. We will move out in three days,” Xie Mangshan stopped talking and walked into his house.
Ms. Xin seemed to have gone insane. She suddenly stood up and pounced on Xie Mangshan, “I’ll fight you! Give me back my silver! Give me back my silver!”
“Pa!” Xie Mangshan slapped her to the ground.
“Didn’t I say where the silver went?! If you continue to stir trouble, I’ll make my Mother divorce you!” After Xie Mangshan finished speaking, he thought about his mother. After hesitating for a moment, he went to help the old lady back into the house, “Mother, I have no choice. Let me explain.”
The old lady was stunned. Her lips trembled as she allowed her eldest son to bring her into the house.
“Mother, a Master predicted my future. There will be a great calamity coming. If I don’t lose the money, I will die!”
