Chapter 816: Not Sure if She Could Get the Cost Back
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xie Niushan felt a chill in his heart.
He did not want to marry one wife after another, did he? If it were not for the short lives of the first two wives and the dishonesty of Ms. Lu, he would have been quite satisfied with just one wife!
“Then why did you say that our father has good luck in love?” Xie Pinggang was secretly relieved.
At his age, he had not married a wife yet. It would be strange if he felt comfortable watching his father marrying one woman after another.
Xie Qiao drank a mouthful of sweet soup and slowly swallowed it. Then, she replied, “It’s just luck in love. Father has it, and so do you. There’s nothing strange about it. I haven’t seen Father for a long time, so I just casually chatted with him.”
Did she think that just because her father had luck in love, someone would marry him?
That was impossible.
Her father probably would not be able to find another wife in this lifetime. He did not have that fate.
“You’ve made our father happy for nothing.” Xie Pinggang laughed out loud. Then, he raised his cup and faced Xie Niushan. “Father! I’ll drink to you. Come, let’s drink!”
Xie Niushan was angry. “I’ve married several wives. Who cares! Unlike you, brat. People your age have children running around in the house. What about you? Hah, I don’t know when I’ll be able to hold a grandson!”
The father and son did not want to tolerate each other, and they did not like each other.
“I’ll definitely have a family before Eldest Brother. Father, when the time comes, I’ll give birth to a son for you to play with.” Xie Pinghuai thought about it and started to flatter.
He had to make his eldest brother uncomfortable.
If he could not beat his eldest brother, how could he lose to him in currying favor?
As long as he flattered his eldest brother and eldest sister more, perhaps in the future, the family a.s.sets would all be given to him. When that time came, his eldest brother would have nothing and become a small official. With that little salary, he would not be able to marry a wife!
Right! His eldest brother would not be able to marry a wife!
Xie Pinghuai’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Eldest Brother, it doesn’t matter if you can’t marry a wife. Don’t be worried if you don’t have children in the future. At most, I’ll have a few more children. When you die in the future, I’ll get my son to mourn for you!”
Xie Pinghuai was overjoyed.
It was impossible for him to succeed. No matter what, his eldest brother had worked hard all his life. If he did not have a child to inherit his legacy, then everything he had was for Xie Pinghuai’s son!
How wonderful!
Xie Pinghuai thought he had found hope in his life.
Finally, there was one thing that he was better than his eldest brother!
Xie Pinghuai’s excitement came very quickly, however, Xie Pinggang snorted and laughed. “If you can have children, then you should have more and start a family early. When you have a son, you can be considered to have a successor. Then, it doesn’t matter if you live.”
Xie Pinghuai glared at him. Although he was angry, his expression was still rather cowardly.
Xie Qiao and Xie Xi sat there. It was as if time had pa.s.sed peacefully.
The three men did not like each other and were about to fight with their blades.
As for Xie Xi, she was even more confused. After all, she had just been possessed by a ghoul. At this moment, her body was still a little weak. Her small face was pale as if she had lost too much blood.
However, she did not know that she had been possessed by a ghoul. Up until now, Xie Qiao had only said that she was too tired from managing the house and had fainted.
Xie Xi did not speak at this moment, but she was actually letting her imagination run wild.
Recently, she seemed to like singing…
She had even spent money to get the steward to buy a few pipa and zither!
Now, she did not want to learn anymore… If these things were taken to a p.a.w.n shop, she did not know if she could get the cost back. She was truly worried…
As the family chatted, Xie Niushan suddenly remembered something. He said, “My G.o.dson’s wife-to-be has already arrived in the capital. The elders of his clan have also come. They are preparing to hold a wedding. Remember to prepare a generous gift.”
Not only did he have to give gifts, he had to attend the ceremony as well..
