Chapter 42: Fighting for Wealth
Chapter 42: Doufu [6000+]
Xie Yu felt that he was very envious, what he pursued all his life was to be free and easy, so after becoming a parent and having a son, he was like a wild horse that had escaped and returned home.
Among them, there is naturally dissatisfaction with the wife his parents married him, he doesn't like strong women, and his wife Jiang is a strong man in everything, that is, to find him a room, he has to be her henchman, this feeling of being mastered by the other party anytime and anywhere Xie Yu is very unhappy, so after Jiang's family, that is, Mrs. Xie gave birth to her son Xie Nian, he liked to travel all over the world.
The feeling of freedom is naturally desirable and addictive.
In the end, his wife Jiang compromised and gave him her name Wen Ping's girl, so that he could take it with him all the time, as long as he wore her eyeliner, he would be at home with him all over the world.
Xie Yu naturally agreed, just a girl, he had countless ways to make that girl obey him.
Then it took him a few years, and sure enough, he collected Wenping and used it. Wen Ping not only did not report his whereabouts to Mrs. Xie, but even began to cover it up for him. After more than ten or twenty years like this, Old Man Xie felt that although he could be called free, but the Xie family was obviously declining, especially in recent years, he went to pay silver, and more than a thousand taels of shopkeepers dared not to pay him, and he wanted to get the old lady's approval.
The entire Xie clan is his, he uses the silver, and he has to wait for the Jiang clan to nod.
Xie Yu felt that his rights had been deprived and his freedom seemed to have changed...... It's just that he really doesn't want to go back to Jian'an, thinking that everything will have to be left to the Jiang family after he goes back, and he feels that life is better than death.
It's just that......
Thinking of the past, Xie Yu's body moved, in order to stay away from Mrs. Xie quietly. After not seeing him for a few years, he didn't miss his old wife, especially after a few years, he found that his wife was so old that people were tired of seeing it, and there was even a bad smell on her body, which he really didn't like. He still likes to smell the fat powder on the little girl's body.
Xie Yu thought about it for a while, and finally even became a little jealous of Xie Ke, because he felt that after a few years, Xie Ke's life would be really free.
Xie Yu's thoughts, Xie Ke naturally had no way of knowing. If she knew, she would have been amazed at this powerful hereditary ability, and found the reason for her father's occasional escape behavior, which turned out to be inherited from his father. Old lady Xie is obviously even more unadjusted than his father Xie Nian.
"My grandfather has been away all the year round, so he has some knowledge...... Grandfather will give you a gift in a moment. It's all compensation for my grandfather's absence all these years. Sister Yu'er, Sister Bao'er, Sister Xia'er, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have all grown into girls, especially Sister Yu'er, who looks very much like your grandmother. Your grandmother was like you when she was young, like a flower......" Xie Yu fell into the memory, and the grandmother he was talking about was naturally not Mrs. Xie, but Xie He's biological mother. The name is Yanlu, and she is the girl he received before marrying his wife, but after marrying his wife, Yanlu was asked by his wife Jiang to come to his side, saying that he was transferred ~ and then sent back to him.
It's just that this tuning~ teaching, but it took a long time.
If it weren't for him taking advantage of the opportunity for his wife Jiang to return to her parents' house to make Yanlu pregnant with a child, I'm afraid he would never have thought about waiting for his wife to send Yanlu back in his life.
Pregnant in October, Yanlu gave birth to a son.
Xie Yu is very happy, his wife Jiang has not seen any movement in her stomach for five or six years after marrying into the door, so naturally she can't blatantly prevent Jiang from giving birth to a son...... It's just that he can't stop his wife's kindness in bringing Yanlu's child to his knees. After all, this seems to outsiders. It's really his wife's generosity.
Pity that Yanlu thought about it day and night, and finally cried blind.
Old Man Xie fell into his memories, which naturally annoyed Mrs. Xie on the side...... She always told herself that she was the pillar of the Xie family. It was she who supported the Xie family. This is the growing prosperity of the Xie family, his own man is simply an additive, he loves to go, he loves to travel all over the world, and he is saved by his side. She's getting in the way.
It's just that when I see my man doing it by my side, I think about other women.
Old Mrs. Xie's always arrogant temperament, how can she endure it.
Especially yesterday, the Quan family came to withdraw from the family, which made Mrs. Xie feel shameless, she was already full of anger and had nowhere to vent, but now it's okay, it's all directly counted on Xie Yu.
She felt that Xie Yu didn't look like Sun's, and when Xie Yu mentioned it, it really reminded her of the past.
That Yanlu is short-lived, she has long forgotten the appearance of that Yanlu, and now looking at Xie Yu, Mrs. Xie feels that she really looks a little like Yanlu. Especially the weak and unwinded appearance...... She was really blind, and she had been deceived by this girl's rhetoric before. But it turned out to be a person with a bad heart, Yanlu is not a good thing, taking advantage of her absence to seduce ~ the man who led her, this jade sister produced this appearance, and naturally she was also a smiling and hiding a knife.
If not, why did the family come to quit their family?
It must be something Xie Yu did, although the Sun family was strong and reasoned and pushed everything on the Quan family, but since the Quan family nodded and agreed to this family business, why did he withdraw from the family business for no reason at this time?
It must be known that the matter of retiring from relatives is naturally ugly, but the Quan family is not good.
In short, it's a loss-in-all.
can listen to the meaning of the Quan family, this family matter must be retreated. Old Madam Xie's mind flipped, and Xie Yu had already ordered someone to bring the tray up. The person who served the plate looked like a's mother-in-law, wearing a plain purple fabric gown, obviously not dressed as a girl. Xie Kemin~ sensed that when Mrs. Xie looked at the person, her eyes seemed to be on fire.
Although Xie Ke was silent, he vaguely knew who that person was.
It should be the one that my father said that he had been serving by his grandfather's side, and he was originally Mrs. Xie's confidant, and it is unknown whose henchman it was later, and the name should be called Wen Ping.
Looking at her dress, it was obvious that she was accepted by her grandfather Xie Yu.
The person who came did ask Ping, she saluted Xie Yu and Mrs. Xie with the tray, and then turned around and walked towards Xie Ke and the others.
Three things on the pallet.
Xie Ke's eyes were slightly downcast, looking at these three things. As remembered, a string of agate beads, a delicate ornament carved from walnuts, and a small palm-sized fan carved from ivory.
In Xie Ke's eyes, these things were really nothing, but Xie Yu and Xie Xia looked at them with wide eyes.
The agate beads shone with a slight yellow halo in the morning light, and at first glance, the yellow seemed to be mixed with a faint red mark, which was a very good-looking baby.
The ornaments of walnut carving are inconspicuous. But the carving is exquisite, where have Xie Yu and Xie Xia seen such a small thing, but it is a comprehensive thing, so they naturally feel that the thing is very strange.
The last one is the jade-like ivory fan.
Xie Yu tapped his fingers. As in the previous life, one gift for each of the three people. Xie Yu obviously liked his share, but he looked at Xie Ke partially. Xie Xia was satisfied, looking at the ivory fan and thanking Xie Yu. At this time, Wen Ping smiled and spoke, that tone. It's quite a bit of a self-proclaimed elderly.
“…… Sister Yu, you do look a little similar to Yanlu, and Yanlu and I are sisters. It's a pity she went early. After asking Ping with a sigh, he turned to Xie Ke.
For Xie Ke, she is obviously not so pleasant, and Xie Ke understands the reason when he thinks about it.
She is a descendant, and her father Xie Nian is the only son of Mrs. Xie.
But Wen Ping has obviously tasted Mrs. Xie's methods, and now that she is protected by her grandfather Xie Yu, and has lived outside for several years, she is afraid that she is not as afraid of Mrs. Xie as she was before. Therefore, for the granddaughter of Mrs. Xie's only in-law, there is naturally no need to put on a good face.
"It's a good thing, but your grandfather has collected it for a long time, and it was given to you today, and it's also your grandfather's preference for you."
If others don't provoke Xie Ke, she will naturally not take the initiative to cause trouble, but if someone provokes her, she is not afraid of it by virtue of her identity in the Xie family at this time.
Wen Ping was obviously squeezing her, and she didn't know in her previous life. So he happily collected the things, and regarded them as treasures and specially found a mahogany box to keep them, until he was seriously ill and had a shortage of silver in his hand, so he asked Cheng to take the box and pawn it.
I didn't want to change the mahogany box for ten taels of silver. But this ornament, people reluctantly gave a price of three taels.
At this time, Wen Ping was bullying her to be raised in the inner house, and she had no knowledge. This thing is obviously not worth a few silvers, but she said that this thing seems to be worth a thousand gold, Xie Yu's eyes were originally envious and hateful, and now even Sister Xia secretly aimed at the thing in her hand with her eyes.
Xie Ke sneered. If you want to live a decent life, you naturally can't be bullied casually.
This question Ping is to fight with Mrs. Xie, it is her business. But she wanted to step on her to embarrass Mrs. Xie, but she provoked her Xie Ke.
So Xie Ke smiled, pinched the walnut ornament in his hand with two fingers, and looked at it carefully at the sun. Asked Ping Yixi, I think that Xie Ke in the fourth room is a person who has never seen the market, but this thing is really rare, and it is really embarrassing for her to think so.
Sure enough, Xie Ke's action made Old Madam Xie blush.
It made Xie Yu smile on his face.
He felt that the little trick played by Wen Ping was thoughtful, that is, he teased Xie Ke and put the face of the old wife on the side, which is really a double win. In fact, the four brothers of the Xie family are all his sons, and it doesn't matter who chong or not. But the fourth son Xie Nian has a good mother, and he has a mother, so he naturally thinks less about Xie Nian.
Besides, he didn't have much to think about his sons.
In this way, the amount of thought he spent on the fourth son was almost equal to zero.
What's more, when it's the turn of the granddaughters, it's not to mention the hard work. So when Ping teased Xie Ke, Xie Yu was not angry, but felt that this woman had been by her side for a long time, and she was finally smarter. It's not as boring as it was at the beginning.
Xie Yu and Wen Ping smiled, and Old Madam Xie's face became ugly.
She always felt that Xie Ke was accustomed to observing words and feelings, and he was also knowledgeable among girls, after all, whether it was Xie Nian or Na Chu Ye, now with Qi Lu, it seemed that they were all sending good things to Xie Ke's courtyard. If it is compared to other old lady Xie, I dare not say that Xie Ke will win, but compared to eyesight, among several granddaughters, Xie Ke should come out on top.
How a little big gadget actually made Xie Ke lose his usual cleverness.
Old Madam Xie secretly gritted her teeth, and just wanted to open her mouth to wake up Xie Ke.
Xie Ke raised his head, his eyes were half-narrowed, and he said to Xie Yu with a smile.
"It turned out that my grandfather loved this kind of delicate thing. Why didn't grandfather come back sooner...... On my eighth birthday, my grandmother gave me a box of these delicate gadgets, not only pavilions, but also yards, trees, flowers and birds, and I can put these gadgets together to create a garden. It's just that a few days ago, my girl cleaned up the house, and felt that this thing took up a lot of space, so she vacated the mahogany box for me to use for extra jewelry.
It just so happens that there is a mother-in-law in my hospital who has recently got a grandson.
I thought it would be useless to keep these things, so I gave them to the woman and asked her to take them home and play with her grandson.
Alas. If you want to come back now, you don't know what will happen to the scourge? However, those trees, flowers and birds are not easy to break, and since my grandfather likes it, I went back to the yard and called the mother-in-law home to get the things back. All are honored to their grandfathers. Xie Ke said very sincerely, and the look on his little face was even more solemn.
Hearing this, Ping straightened her eyes.
She originally wanted to make Xie Ke lose face, and even let Mrs. Xie lose some face. I don't want the sister of the four rooms to be stupid and stupid.
How can this kind of thing be given away casually?
No, it's not a casual gift. It's a gift, how can you still come back to the old man? It doesn't seem right either. In short, the girl spoke very aggressively, but every sentence seemed to poke at the sore spot, and she was not easy to refute.
Wen Ping felt that she had suffered a dumb loss.
But no matter what, you can't let Xie Ke really ask for things back, it will really lose the face of the old man, if it is spread out, saying that his master will give him to his mother-in-law and ask for it back, what will it be. Seeing Xie Yu lightly clasping the corner of the table with his fingers, this was an impatient expression.
Wen Ping hurriedly smiled and spoke.
"No, I don't. No, everything has been given away, and it is not appropriate to come back. Your grandfather just liked it, and it was not good to take people's favors after all. I don't think I need to call that woman. "Ask Ping to calm things down, but Xie Ke doesn't agree.
It's still the same sentence, I knew it was like this, why bother in the first place. She stood here quietly, didn't recruit her, didn't provoke her, she didn't embarrass Xie Yu, she didn't embarrass Xie Xia. but he wanted to embarrass her. What is the rationale for this? Now that she is in trouble, she wants to get out of it, what is she?
Even Old Madam Xie couldn't take much advantage in front of her, but she occasionally took advantage of it. That's what she gave away for nothing.
Not to mention this asked Ping.
"How is this possible? I don't care how much it's worth. It's worth a thousand taels, and what I gave away will never be returned.
But at this time and at that time, isn't this what grandfather liked? Even if it's only worth a few pennies, it must be recovered. Mama doesn't have to persuade anymore......" In the end, the title of the word 'Mama' directly caught Wen Ping off guard.
She looked at Xie Ke in disbelief.
I feel that I may be wrong, the sisters in these four rooms are not stupid, on the contrary. is also very smart, this is simply a step by step, and I don't plan to let her go lightly.
She is getting older, but her dress is obviously not the mother-in-law who serves in the house, but she calls her 'Mama'.
This is obviously stepping on her face. It's a pity that she is indeed a concubine in the Xie family, and the old man has never mentioned that he wants to raise her as an aunt...... When she didn't return to the Xie family, she took care of everything around the old man like a hostess, but when she returned to the Xie family, she was nothing.
The sisters in these four rooms beat people and picked people to beat their faces.
"I ...... Slaves...... Master. In the end, Wen Ping set her eyes on Xie Yu. Xie Yu wrinkled his eyebrows, feeling that asking Ping was simply stupid. Fighting with a little girl, she was defeated in three or two sentences, and was scolded by the little girl on the spot for being a mother-in-law in the house.
It's really useless, it's really been with him for more than ten years.
The mud can't hold up the wall. At this time, Xie Yu couldn't help but look at Xie Ke solemnly. At first, he only thought that the little girl was very beautiful, the kind of impeccable beauty.
The dress is light, but it completely compares Xie Yu, who is dressed in luxury, to the side.
Looking at it again at this time, I feel that she can't be described as beautiful. It should be, clever and shrewd...... It's just that if he remembers correctly, she should be the only daughter of her fourth son, how could her fourth son have such a smart daughter? Xie Yu felt that God had opened his eyes, and Xie Nian couldn't give birth to a beautiful and smart girl.
So it should have just been a coincidence.
It just so happened that he sent something, and she really had it. And I really sent my mother-in-law. In short, Xie Yu didn't believe that the girl of the Xie family could use her strength to respond to all changes.
Xie Yu thought about it, beckoned to ask Ping to step forward, and whispered a few words, Wen Ping's face changed, and finally nodded. Then he turned and walked out of the house. Xie Yu said to Xie Ke with a smile on his face. "Grandfather's fault, you shouldn't have given Sister Bao these vulgar things, and my grandfather told Wenping to change it for you."
Xie Yu felt that if he couldn't suppress Xie Ke today, how could he be the master of the Xie family.
As soon as he returned home, the Xie family naturally planned to take back his hands...... If you can't even handle a little girl, how can you get back the power of the family from the old wife.
What he thought in his heart, although Old Madam Xie may not know everything, she can guess a few points.
Since the beginning of the year, she has given a death order, no matter where Xie Yu takes the silver. None of them can exceed a thousand taels. This is naturally disliked by Xie Yu, who has always been a big spender. But she has worked hard over the years, and the Xie family has become richer and richer, and finally built an apartment proudly.
Although he still has a surname, he is still a thank you. But what did Xie Yu pay for this? Except for spending a lot of money. But her silver was not blown by the wind. A good shop only makes a profit of three or five thousand taels a year, and he wants to go with a word...... He didn't want to think about what he had paid for the Xie family, so he just blindly asked.
He was her man, but she hadn't seen him for years.
Even the henchmen she sent to him finally fell in love with him. In this way, she simply did not let him squander the family's money at will.
This method is very effective. After a few months, he returned. What did he come back for? Naturally, he wanted to compete with her for Xie and silver. If she first married into the Xie family, she still had a little bit of a little daughter thought about Xie Yu, so many years have passed.
Xie Yu is just a person who hasn't died yet.
Perhaps, when he died, she would have lived more easily.
Today's events in the hall, that Wen Ping is obviously embarrassed by Sister Bao. Fortunately, Sister Bao is a clever person, and she quietly taught her a lesson. This made Old Madam Xie secretly feel relieved in her heart. felt that the whole Xie family didn't give her any good, but fortunately, in her old age, she got a clever granddaughter.
Since she has taken the lead, how can Old Madam Xie still allow Xie Yu to 'bully' Xie Ke again. So she slowly opened her mouth. "Master, I think I'll be gone today. The granddaughters have to go back to Xi Nuhong,"
"There is no shortage of embroidery girls at home, what kind of female celebrity is Xi. Our Xie family is a Gaomenwang family, and the girls are married to other people's housewives, where do you need to make clothes by yourself...... This female red, don't get used to it. "Going against Mrs. Xie is what Xie Yuxi does.
Old Madam Xie gritted her teeth with secret hatred.
But there was a smile on his face. "Look at what the master said. Xi Nuhong is secondary, but it is just to hone their temperament. A girl's family, after all, must have a gentle temperament to make her in-laws like it. ”
"It's good to have a gentle temperament, but it can't be tempered every day. If you have developed a weak temperament, will you not be bullied by your in-laws, in my opinion, today's female celebrity will be forgotten. It's better to let them stay here and accompany our husband and wife to explain the law and relieve their boredom. ”
“…… But I still have something to do. You know, there's a lot of stuff at home and outside the house, waiting for me to nod. Where can I be idle......" Xie Yu snorted coldly in his heart, and the tone in his mouth remained unchanged. "We haven't seen each other for several years, so you have a moment and a half to accompany me to talk about what can happen, and the Xie family will not collapse."
“…… So I will follow the master. Xie Yu said that when it came to this, Mrs. Xie naturally didn't want to force it.
At this time, Wen Ping came in with a tray again, and the tray was covered with bright red silk, which was very colorful.
Xie Yu Xie Xia, even with Old Madam Xie, couldn't help but stare at the tray. Xie Yu naturally hoped that this plate was just a mundane thing, because it was meant to be given to Xie Ke, but she felt that it was still worth 10,000 gold, and in the end, Xie Ke had never seen it, she wanted to see Xie Ke's dumbfounded appearance.
And Old Madam Xie couldn't help but mention it.
Although Xie Ke lost this game, there was nothing, but just now he slapped Wen Ping's face. But there is a stubbornness in her heart, she still hopes that Xie Ke can win, although this is not a fight, but she really can't see Wen Ping showing off her power in front of her, and she can't see Xie Yu's dignified appearance and actually going back to the house to calculate her scoundrel.
She wanted Xie Ke to come forward and give them a dismissal.
Because of Xie Ke's identity, whether it is Xie Yu or Wen Ping, it is not good to blame Xie Ke...... And she also vented evil anger by the way.
Wen Ping's face was still not good-looking, but thinking that she had just been embarrassed by her granddaughter in front of Mrs. Xie, she couldn't help but look a little stubborn at this time.
Slapping Xie Ke in the face was like slapping Old Madam Xie in the face.
She didn't believe that Xie Ke was a little girl, and she really had extraordinary knowledge.
A slight smile hung on the corner of Wen Ping's mouth, and then gently raised his hand to remove the red silk on the tray, and everyone only felt that there was a mottled light and shadow in front of them. (To be continued.) )
