Chapter 131 - Much Better Than A Jade!
Xie Pinghuai was considered handsome, even though he was not as tall as Xie Pinggang.
He looked rather pitiful as he was currently hanging.
Xie Qiao thought about it and said, "How about this? I"ll beg Eldest Brother to let you down, but you"ll have to promise me one thing."
"My sister by blood, as long as you save me, one thing aside, I can even promise you ten things!"
"Since my brother is so generous, I"ll ask for ten things then." Xie Qiao was over the moon. "I"ll write up the contract, and you"ll sign and stamp. I"ll save you right away. But if you take your words back… I"ll tell Eldest Brother that you took back your words, used violence against me, didn"t repent—"
Xie Pinghuai was a little dumbstruck in the beginning. However, he reacted immediately as he listened to her. "Alright, alright! Stop it… I won"t take back my words!"
.
How could he live if he carried so many crimes with him?!
Xie Qiao smiled. She brought out ink and paper.
After she was done writing, she stepped onto the stool. She got Xie Pinghuai to stamp his thumbprint.
She got him down directly as soon as the stamping of the thumbprint was completed.
"Eldest Sister, are you sure I can get down? What if Eldest Brother gets mad when he comes?" Xie Pinghuai bent his back while rubbing his arms and neck.
Xie Qiao thought about it and said, "Tell him that you"d rather do this than die and that you insisted on doing this. I couldn"t stop you."
Xie Pinghuai"s facial expression changed in the next second. He turned around and climbed the tree again.
"I was just kidding." Xie Qiao could not help but laugh.
"Why is this kid so foolish?"
Xie Pinghuai glanced at her with a complicated expression.
His father had told him that he had an eldest sister. He had said that her body was weak, and she was gentle and wise. She doted on them, so she would get people to send them local treats.
In reality…
It was true that her body was weak, but he could not see how she was gentle.
Moreover, he would find it off whenever his sister smiled. He thought it was rather scary, but he had no idea why he felt that way.
Also, it was said that she doted on him… Did she, though?
"Let"s eat something while we wait for Eldest Brother to come home." Xie Qiao smiled.
Xie Pinghuai nodded heavily.
He hoped that he could escape from being beaten up today. His eldest brother might be worried that Xie Pinghuai would fight for the family"s fortune with him, so he wanted to kill him!
When Xie Pinggang got home, he saw Xie Pinghuai eating snacks with Xie Qiao. He was eating a snack in each bite, fearless of being choked.
"Ehem!" He coughed.
Xie Pinghuai stood up immediately from the scare. The snack in his hand dropped onto the ground while his legs trembled involuntarily.
"Eldest Brother, look at this." Xie Qiao walked over while smiling and showing the thing she had in her hand to Xie Pinggang. "He signed this himself. With this, won"t we be confiscating all of his monthly allowance?"
Xie Pinggang"s eyelids twitched. "H-How did you get this idiot to agree to sign this!?"
He pointed at Xie Pinghuai and scolded him. "Are you dumb? How would you sell yourself just like that? You"re so dumb! Don"t tell people that your family name is Xie when you"re out there! You embarra.s.s me!"
Xie Pinggang"s facial expression changed immediately as soon as he scolded him. He smiled at Xie Qiao as he said, "That"s right, that"s right. If he doesn"t pay up, hehehe. I"m given permission to hit him. He can"t fight me anyway."
Xie Pinghuai felt as if he had done something wrong.
He had been too upset when he was hung. As such, he agreed to the ten conditions right away.
He had been under the impression his own eldest sister would not bully him too much. Be it that there were ten conditions, he had signed without hesitation.
How could her eldest sister be so shameless!?
"Eldest Brother, that jade isn"t really useful anyway. It"s just to get yourself a master. It isn"t some irreplaceable jade." Xie Qiao grinned. "Forget about it. We have this now. It"s much better than a jade."
