Chapter 126 I'll sleep in Room 3 on the ground floor tonight
Chapter 126 I'll sleep in the third bedroom on the ground floor tonight
The old lady was unwilling to use her own money to subsidize the third room, so she had to compromise.
But when I thought about the third house that was burned down, I felt troubled again.
"Big brother, food and clothing are easy to solve, but the third room's house was burned down. You have to give them some money to repair it, otherwise how are you going to let your third brother live?"
"How can we live here? The house has burned down, but the floor is still there, right? Third brother and the others can sleep on the floor tonight."
Xie Dahe stared in disbelief, "Brother, are you crazy? You want me and Zhu to sleep on the floor?"
Not only Xie Dahe couldn't believe it, even the old lady, Liu, and the second wife stared at Xie Changting in disbelief.
"You still remember that I'm your elder brother? Xie Lan is my daughter after all, and you stole her things and set fire to her storeroom and dormitory.
And Yan girl stole her admission ticket and took her place to study at the Royal Academy without telling anyone.
Do you, the Third House family, take me, the head of the family, seriously? "
When Xie Changting said this, everyone felt unhappy.
It was clear that Xie Changting was not nice to Xie Lan in the past, but I didn't expect that he would protect her so much now.
Xie Lan was not moved at all.
The reason why Xie Changting was angry was not because he felt sorry for her, but because he felt that his authority as the head of the family was challenged.
He learned that Xie Yu had someone robbed the three thousand taels he had prepared and also replaced the assessment post of Baihe Academy.
The second house ruined his plan, and Xie Changting was originally very unhappy, but for the sake of Xie family's reputation, he could only let the matter go.
Originally, he thought that since he did not stop Xie Lan from going to the second house to ask for compensation, everyone would know his attitude, and thought that they should be more restrained in their actions in the future.
But Xie Changting didn't expect that his concession did not win everyone's respect for him, but instead made the third room follow suit.
After much difficulty, the Princess of Shouguang County sent Xie Lan the admission letter to the Royal Academy, and his plan could proceed as scheduled. However, he did not expect that it would be ruined by the third house again.
If he doesn't make a statement this time, the second and third wives might become even more aggressive in the future.
He is the head of the family, how can he tolerate such things happening again and again?
Other things would be fine, but he would never allow anyone to do anything to ruin his career plans!
It was the first time that Zhu saw Xie Changting so angry. She didn't dare to say anything and quickly reached out and pulled Xie Dahe's sleeve.
The sternness on Xie Changting's face was unprecedented. Although Xie Dahe was extremely dissatisfied, he did not dare to anger him at this time.
I could only secretly wink at the old lady.
The old lady was also in a dilemma, but her palms and backs were all made of flesh.
"Boss, it was your third brother who was wrong this time. Fortunately, all of Lan's things have been returned to her.
You asked your third brother and his friends to sleep on the floor. It's fine for adults, but the children can't stand it. Moreover, Yao's newborn son is only one month old, how can he sleep in the open air?
Let them move to the North Courtyard first, and move back after the West Courtyard is repaired."
Xie Lan's eyes were as cold as ice. The North Courtyard was the only vacant courtyard in the Xie Mansion. If the third room moved there, where would she live?
"I don't agree, Dad. My Tinglan Pavilion was burned down by my third uncle. If they move to the North Courtyard, what about me? There is no other courtyard at home."
The old lady glared at Xie Lan angrily. She had finally managed to persuade her eldest son to loosen up a little, but this damn girl came against her again.
"Lan girl, although your storeroom and bedroom are burned, the other rooms are fine. You can live in another room first, and let your uncle and his family live in the north courtyard."
"Other houses are fine, but I don't want to live in them. Tinglan Pavilion needs to be renovated, and the clanging noises all day long will disturb my rest."
"The repairs will only be done during the day. They won't disturb your sleep at night. Besides, you're always out during the day, so it won't affect you."
Burned down her Tinglan Pavilion, and still wanted to live in the North Courtyard. What good things are you thinking about? Tonight, the third room will sleep on the ground. Xie Lan did not argue with the old lady anymore, but walked away, "Okay, if the North Courtyard doesn't allow me to live there, then I can move to the ancestral hall to sleep."
Go to sleep in the ancestral hall?
Thinking of the last time she was struck by lightning, the old lady felt a tightness in her heart.
Although she didn't know whether the ancestral hall would be struck by lightning again, this dead girl was very evil and she didn't dare to gamble.
The old lady was so angry that she covered her chest and shouted, "Come back, Lan girl, the North Courtyard is for you to live in."
The old lady saw that Xie Lan had just agreed when she stopped walking. She felt upset, thinking that this damn girl did it on purpose.
"I live in the North Courtyard. Do Third Uncle and the others sleep on the ground?"
"This……"
Seeing the old lady's hesitation, Xie Dahe also became anxious, "Mother, the children are still young, how can they sleep in the open air? Lan is alone, it doesn't matter where she lives."
Xie Changting's face became even colder. His third brother didn't take his words seriously at all.
"Since Third Brother dislikes the good conditions in this house, then take your sister-in-law and the children and move out to live."
Xie Changting's words stunned everyone.
The old lady subconsciously said no, but when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she saw Xie Changting's cold eyes and swallowed them back in fear.
Xie Dahe clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth, "Brother, are you going to drive us away for Lan girl?"
For her? Xie Lan couldn't bear the blame.
But since the pot has been set up, she will add more fire to make it burn more vigorously.
“As the eldest daughter of the Xie family, my father took pity on me for not growing up in the mansion, and he finally got me a test ticket for the White Crane Academy, but it was taken away by my second uncle’s family.
For the sake of Xie family's reputation, my father had to swallow his anger and suppress the matter in front of outsiders.
But my father's concession did not win everyone's gratitude. Instead, my third uncle's family followed suit and not only stole my Royal Academy's admission ticket, but also burned down my Tinglan Pavilion.
From what you did, it's clear that you don't care about me at all, and you don't take my father, the head of the family, seriously at all.
Grandma, although the parents are still alive, the family should not be divided. But as the old saying goes, a grown-up child is no longer controlled by his mother. Since the second and third uncles have other ideas, let's divide the family and let the second and third uncles move out.
Otherwise, if this continues, brothers will become enemies. Don’t you think so? "
Xie Lan's words made everyone change their expressions.
Xie Donghai and Xie Dahe panicked when they saw Xie Changting had a sullen face and did not object to Xie Lan's words.
The two of them were already in low positions, and there was no chance for them to move up. Xie Changting might be able to move up, but they were still waiting for him to help them, so they were not willing to split up and move away.
The old lady was naturally even more reluctant to divide the family, but she also knew that what the second and third rooms had done recently had indeed annoyed the eldest son.
Fearing that Xie Lan would really instigate Xie Changting to split up the family, the old lady had to cruelly say, "Second and third brothers, what you two have done recently is really outrageous.
From tonight on, you two will sleep on the floor outside."
Xie Donghai and Peng were almost mad with anger, "Mom, what Third Brother and the others did has nothing to do with us, why did you let us sleep on the ground too?"
Seeing Xie Changting's face becoming more and more gloomy, the old lady was afraid that he would really talk about dividing the family, so she could only speak first, "Why, don't you even listen to me? In this case, let's divide this family."
Thank you for your support, there are only two days left in the countdown to August. Well, I'll temporarily store my face in outer space and perform a cute show for you guys. Can you give me some more votes?
