Chapter 487: Fight Between Siblings

When Xie Pinggang heard Xie Qiao’s coughing, he thought she was going to cough her heart out. It was really scary.
He did not mean to bully her…
Fine, he just wanted to bully her. Looking at her angry face, it was quite pleasant.
However, not to this extent, right?
She was really petty as a lady. If she was like that, how could she get married in the future?!
Besides, he was so poor now. Seeing this girl was about to get married, he had to save up for the dowry? Otherwise, how would he have his dignity as the eldest brother?
Xie Pinggang was disgusted.
However, he frowned and gave her all the silver notes. He wanted to pat her back to help her breathe better with his big hand. He raised it and saw his heavy bear paw, he put it down again.
He did not know how to control his strength, so he did not want to kill her with one slap.
‘Oh my, she’s so weak and her body is so small. She might not be able to have children even if she marries someone. What should I do?’
Xie Pinggang was worried.
Xie Qiao took the silver notes and coughed twice. Then, she said weakly, “E-Eldest Brother… I’m afraid I’m going to die…”
Xie Pinggang was frightened, “Don’t, you haven’t had children yet…”
“Before I die… I want to see Eldest Brother get married… Cough, cough!” Xie Qiao looked pitiful.
When Xie Pinggang heard that, he felt helpless, “I want that too, but it isn’t something that you can do just because you want to. That Jia Huan is too ugly, I don’t want her.”
Xie Qiao stared at him.
That was not what she meant.
She just wanted Xie Pinggang to take the matter seriously and treat girls more gently!
However, it was fine. He was so cruel to his own sister, he must be fierce to outsiders! Would he not be harming someone else if he married a lady?!
Xie Qiao suddenly felt like giving up.
Her cough instantly stopped.
She put the silver notes into her pocket, “You gave me the silver notes. You can move the rest. Everyone who sees it will have a share. Thinking of taking all of them to yourself? That’s not possible!”
After saying that, Xie Qiao snorted at Xie Pinggang and turned around to go back to her courtyard.
Xie Pinggang looked at her back and came back to his senses.
Was she pretending earlier?!
She had trouble breathing. She looked like she was going to die instantly. So she was pretending?
Xie Pinggang cursed and kicked a slightly old box.
“This useless girl, I actually lost to her?!” Xie Pinggang was unconvinced.
They both had the same mother. He was a dignified man, but he was actually slightly inferior now? It was all his fault for being too soft-hearted. Hmph, it was a pity that he could not hang this darn girl up and give her a good beating!
If only he could beat her up like how he treated Xie Pinghuai, how great would that be?!
Xie Qiao took a total of 6,000 taels of silver notes.
Another large sum of money was added to the small treasury.
Thinking about what Xie Pinggang had said earlier, he asked Chun Er to prepare two small boxes. Then, she took out 4,000 taels of silver and put 2,000 in each box.
His younger brother and sister were already 13 this year, and they would be able to start a family in a few years.
It was useless to count on her biological father.
She could not give her younger brother and sister love since she could not stay close to them, but she had enough money. If she saved up from now on, in a few years, there should be… quite a lot of money in these boxes, right?
Xie Qiao put away the two boxes in all seriousness.
She took a nap, while on Xie Mangshan’s side, the world had collapsed.
The house had been sold, and they were only given three days to move.
In reality, there was not much to move. Xie Mangshan had practically emptied out all his belongings, leaving behind only some very worthless daily necessities.
When they woke up, the whole house was filled with people, staring at each other in a daze.
At first, they did not think much of it, but when they returned to their courtyard one by one, the screams almost deafened their neighbors.
