Chapter 490: Ti for Payback
The old lady was a little worried.
She was old and her body was not in good shape. She really could not bear the pain. Moreover, her legs fractured. She needed to consu more bone soup to heal.
“Master said that if I was not sincere and held the belongings in my hands, the calamity would be much bigger…” Xie Mangshan frowned.
When the old lady heard that, she could not take it and fainted.
As for the others, they wished they could drag Xie Mangshan over and interrogate him thoroughly.
However, Xie Mangshan had the most authority in the family over the years. The entire family only dared to cry at that mont.
After crying for the entire night, the old lady woke up and called everyone over.
“A-All of you are not allowed to bla my eldest son. All of you w-will go to your house to pack your things and see how much money you can gather… Also… First and Second Daughter-in-law, go to your mother’s house to get so money back,” the old lady added.
All these years, she had given those two families many benefits. Now that the family was in trouble, they had to pay for it.
Ms. Jia and Ms. Xin were upset.
Especially Ms. Xin, she said imdiately, “Eldest Brother took all the silver from our house and now he wants to go to my Mother to borrow more. I can’t bring myself to do that! If my Mother asks what happened, what should I say?!”
When the old lady heard that, she smashed a shoe horn on Ms. Xin’s face.
“He took the silver for the sake of our future! We’ll get the money back! Your family has taken so much from us, can’t they return so now? Go and ask for the money imdiately. If you don’t get any, don’t co back! In the future, no matter how wealthy my family is, it has nothing to do with you!” The old lady said angrily.
When she said that, Ms. Xin imdiately beca listless.
Now, they could not say anything.
Although the family’s money was gone, the relationship between the family and Xie Niushan was still there…
At that mont, the entire family was blaming Xie Mangshan. However, due to Xie Mangshan’s solemn vow, they did not dare to say anything more.
They obediently followed the old lady’s order.
Little did they know that the old lady was secretly uncomfortable. However, her eldest son was her backbone. Now, other than listening to her eldest son, she had no other choice.
The whole family packed their things.
Only a few small pieces of silver were found.
In the end, the entire family’s jewelry and silver pieces added up to only about 80 taels of silver!
The amount was a lot for the Xie family in the past, but the old lady and the rest were used to spending money lavishly.
For an ordinary farr, 80 taels of silver was enough to be spent for a lifeti, but for the old lady…
No matter how frugal she was, she could only spend for a month!
There were so many people in the house…
The old lady’s hands trembled as she wrapped the silver.
Xie Mangshan stared at the silver.
However, he did not make a move. He knew that if he did not even keep this silver, they would not be able to eat for their next al.
He thought his sincerity should be enough. With only this little bit left, they should be fine…
Three days later, the people ca to collect the house. Only then did the whole family move out slowly.
Ms. Jia and Ms. Xin tried their best, and they only got 50 taels of silver from their families.
The old lady asked Xie Congshan to rent a cheap courtyard.
The courtyard was incomparable to the one that Xie Niushan had bought. Not only was the house shabby, it was small. With so many people crowded inside, it was very uncomfortable.
The whole family was counting on Xie Mangshan to get the money back as soon as possible.
