Chapter 697 - Different from Silver
Different from Silver
Translator: 549690339
Different because of who, different because of silver.
Xie Chan was the most experienced. In the Xie family, even though the second branch was born of a concubine, the entire Xie family was still very good. Mother Xie, this old grandmother, treated them equally and never mistreated them. Whatever good food and drinks were provided by the eldest and third branches, the second branch did not lack them either. They could be considered to have eaten and seen them before.
In the past, she didn’t feel it when she was in the Xie family. It was only after she got married that she really felt the difference.
Although the Cai family was also an aristocratic family, and her husband was also a legitimate son, she was still a branch of the Cai family. Her standard of living really could not keep up with the Xie family. The difference was too great. In the past, she was used to spending money in the Xie family, but she couldn’t afford it in her husband’s family.
Her dowry was not cheap. Whether it was Mother Xie or her eldest brother, Xie Xian, who was in charge, they did not treat her badly. However, if she wanted to maintain her previous living condition, unless she used dowry to make up for it, she would have nothing to eat in a few years.
Xie Chan had been spoiled since she was born and had her own temper, but it was not to the extent that she could not recognize reality. She immediately tightened her grip and maintained the Cai family’s standard of living.
What if he wanted to loosen his hands?
Returning to her mother’s home to take a walk, Grandmother, Aunt, and Aunt would walk around one by one. It would be better if there was some allowance, but if there was no allowance…
At the very least, she had her own mother to protect her, so she could at least give her some private money.
Xie Shan was pregnant, and the Xie family had given her a lot of money since she was young. Of course, she had also paid a lot of money and sent a valuable congratulatory gift. Fortunately, the heavens did not disappoint those who worked hard. After a lot of torment, she was finally pregnant.
Of course, the Xie family was not stingy. They had earned a lot from this pregnancy. She could not compare to the private house that Madam Wang had given Xie Shan. She was her biological daughter, but Mother Xie and Madam Yuan treated her equally. Even Rong Antang’s congratulatory ceremony was fair.
Unknowingly, Xie Chan’s standard of measuring people had changed. She did not even realize it.
Xie Chan was really furious after being scolded by Xie Jiu. After she got pregnant, her in-laws had beaten her up to the heavens. She was already a little arrogant and could even walk sideways. In addition, pregnant women were emotionally unstable to begin with. She was about to break down. She was really wronged and furious.
However, Qi had something in common with aura.
One burst of energy, two bursts of energy, three bursts of energy.
She couldn’t go to Yi An Hall, and there was no one in Freedom Yard. When she went to Rong An Hall, Xie Chan’s mind was more or less clear.
Of course, he was still wronged. There was no greatest grievance, only more grievance.
It was even scarier when she was awake, because she knew that Xiao Baoxin was much closer to Wang Shier’s mother than she was. At least before she got married, Xiao Baoxin would send someone to invite Wang Shier’s wife to any private banquet in Rong An Hall. He would not invite her and Xie Juan just because they were both from the second branch.
The distance between them was simply too obvious.
Xiao Baoxin was the kind of person who didn’t know how to mediate. She couldn’t find any comfort here.
In fact, Xie Chan was quite flattered that Xiao Baoxin did not scold her and chased her out.
Now, she understood the feeling of seeing Xie Shan go silly from her pregnancy. Her brain was really not working well enough. She had come to Xiao Baoxin for comfort and help.
There was only one explanation. Xiao Baoxin had married into the Xie family and stayed with Xie Xian for a long time, so his character had improved!
“.. Sister-in-law is still the best to me.” Xie Chan wiped her tears.” Then I’ll have to thank Sister-in-law.” “In one sentence, he accepted it with a smile. Xiao Baoxin: When have I ever treated you well?
Was it because her understanding of the word ‘good’ was different from his?
“Actually, I didn’t mean anything else. I just saw that Ah Niang treated Ninth Sister-in-law sincerely, and in exchange, Ninth Sister-in-law was so good at handling things. After all, we are separated by a room. Sister-in-law might not know, but my mother treats Ninth Sister-in-law better than her own daughter. Whatever Fifth Mother and I have, Ninth Sister-in-law has it. Ninth sister-in- law has it, but we might not have it.”As he spoke, his mouth unconsciously turned sour. He looked at the plate of bright red lychees in front of Xiao Baoxin.
He had been too angry just now, so much so that he had neglected such an important detail. Now that he was calm, his horizons were broadened.
It was clearly not the season season to eat lychees, but he could still see such a vibrant lychee in Rong An Hall!
Not to mention the Cai family after marriage, even the Xie family had never done this before marriage!
It was not that she had not read about the method of storing lychees to maintain their freshness in ancient books, but it was time-consuming, moneyconsuming, and laborious. The Xie family was not a family that valued food, so they had never stored them.
Now, it was actually placed on the table.
How extravagant.
Did Xiao Baoxin have to find a way to get his hands on her eldest brother even if he wanted to eat dragon liver and phoenix marrow?
“.. You came in too quickly just now, so I didn’t have time to let you in. Hibiscus-go get a plate.”As she spoke, she glanced at Youmei. She had only eaten a few fruits, but she couldn’t bear to bring them to Xie Chan.
They were both pregnant women. Who should give in to who?
This pregnancy was different from the past. She used to like sour and spicy food, but this time, she liked sweet and sour food.
Originally, she had plums and lychees to eat. The master and servant were very busy, but Xie Chan had led them astray. The moment they entered the house, they cried and snot and saliva flew everywhere. They had no appetite at all.
Xiao Baoxin didn’t like it because he was afraid that it would be disgusting if he spat on it. Youmei was too engrossed in her melons and forgot herself. Her hands stopped. The master-servant pair had an unprecedented tacit understanding.
Youmei was a martial artist. She could tell the direction of Xiao Baoxin’s head by listening to the wind, and her hands immediately moved.
As he ate, he said,
“Although Thirteenth Wang is also your biological brother, you are still pregnant. Don’t get sick. When the time comes, you won’t be able to use any medicine, and you will be the one suffering.”
Xie Chan was shocked. What he said made sense.
She was blinded by money and did not think of this.
“I neglected it. When I entered the door, I saw that Mother was busy with Thirteenth Wang. I didn’t even talk much before Ninth Brother came over to ask Mother for punishment…”
However, she didn’t come back this time to take advantage of the situation. She had just gotten an abortion at the beginning of her pregnancy, so she couldn’t do it too frequently, right?
At the end of the month, it was Lady Cai’s birthday. Xie Chan was supposed to come back with Xie Juan, but Xie Juan didn’t show up as scheduled, so she was forced to be cannon fodder.
As they chatted, Tang Li came in with a plate of lychees. Behind her was a 13- year-old maid with a double bun. She was holding a celadon bowl in her hand. The top was slightly steaming. It must have been placed for a while so that she could drink it without burning her mouth.
“What tonic is this, sister-in-law?”Xie Chan’s slightly swollen eyes were the only thing that could tell that she hadn’t cried just now. Her expression had already returned to normal as she peeked into the bowl.
Xiao Baoxin smiled and said,”Ginger tea.” I’m just telling you from experience to stay away from Little Thirteen. You have to know that the weather changed a few days ago and I caught a cold. It dragged on for a while and I didn’t dare to take any medicine. I only took some warm medicine and this ginger water. Can’t you tell that my voice is a little nasal?”
