The old lady was furious. She really hated Xie Qiao to her core!
However, Xie Qiao seemed to not see that. She sat down with Xie Xi. She looked calm and amiable. Those who did not know would think that she was a quiet young lady who knew nothing.
“Second Brother, you’re a wealthy man. As long as you give us a little, we will have enough to eat! We don’t want much… How about… three thousand taels of silver? What do you think?” The old lady said.

She had already taken a step back.
The silver that her eldest son had sent back was more than that!
Xie Niushan frowned.
Not much? Oh, please!
He worked hard out there, but he had only earned 2,000 to 3,000 taels of silver. If he gave it away, what would his family eat in the future? If he had to rely on his children to support him, how would he have the right to say anything in the future?
“Xi’er is in charge of all the silver.” Xie Niushan looked at his mother and felt a little soft-hearted. He said, “If Xi’er is willing to give less, that’s fine too.”
“No.” Xie Xi shook her head.
Since the silver was in her charge, other than the necessary expenses of the family, she could not spend it casually!
Not a single cent of the silver in the account could be missed!
“Father, there’s something I forgot to tell you.” Xie Qiao pursed her lips. “You recommended Uncle’s job, right? He has really caused a lot of suffering.”
When Xie Niushan heard that, he was stunned. “How did he cause suffering?”
“Uncle is very powerful. He thinks that the money he made was too little, so he actually profited from the people. A few days ago, Eldest Brother investigated the case and arrested a group of people. There were even a few people who were sentenced to having their belongings confiscated and exiled. Although Uncle didn’t make much, that didn’t give him the opportunity to continue taking advantage of the situation. If he was only exposed a few more years later, I’m afraid that there would be a death lawsuit.” Xie Qiao continued to complain.
“I’ve only received some bribes this year. Everyone else did that too, no?!” Xie Mangshan quickly said.
What was the big deal?
He had only earned a few dozen taels of silver, then what happened? For this matter, he lost 500 taels of silver and was even beaten up!
However, at that moment, when Xie Niushan heard that, he immediately stood up. With a thud, he kicked Xie Mangshan in the chest.
“You’re really something, brat!” Xie Niushan was furious, “What did I say when I got you that job?! If you want to make money, you can do it, but you’ll have to walk the path of righteousness. You’re so daring now, is it? You treat my words as nothing and don’t remember any of it?!”
As he said that, Xie Niushan thought that one kick was not enough, so he kicked again with a bang.
Xie Mangshan was rolling on the ground!
“He’s your Eldest Brother!” The old lady was shocked.
“Bah! I’ll beat him up even if he’s my ancestor because he deserves it!” Xie Niushan was especially ruthless.
He was a generous person, he was reasonable.
When he was a bandit, he could do things that bandits did. However, when he became an official, he had to tuck his tail between his legs and behave himself!
In the imperial city, the eyes of the Emperor were wide open. There were also many people who thought he was unworthy of being an official. They wanted nothing more than to immediately chase him out of the imperial city. If anyone were to find out that this brat was accepting bribes or that Xie Mangshan had killed someone, who would be the unlucky one by then?!
His entire family would have to cover him!
“You still have the guts to come to me and ask for money. You sure are daring! The three of you, get the hell out of here. In the future, if anyone dares to use my name to bully others, I will kill you!”
Asking for silver? You wished!
The old lady was shocked. “I-I don’t want to live anymore…”
“If you don’t want to live, then go to hell!” Xie Niushan was in a rage.. When he was angry, he did not care who was in front of him.
