Chapter 500: Debt Collection
Xie Pinggang had told the steward a long time ago, so the steward was very calm at the moment.
“Our First Young Master said that when our Master became an official back then, he thought of his family back home, so he brought you guys to the capital. He was worried that you would not be able to adapt to life here, so he specially lent a house and money for you guys to live in and spend. Now that years have passed, all of you have settled down in the capital. It’s indeed time to pay back the things that you borrowed back then.
“Of course, our First Young Master also said that you would not be able to pay back so much money. Since we’re all relatives, you’ll just pay back whatever you have. We won’t be calculative,” the steward added.
Xie Congshan felt a chill run down his spine.
That b*stard Xie Pinggang was really heartless!
He knew it! He knew that Xie Pinggang would not be so kind!
His Eldest Brother was really out of his mind. He actually sent his family fortune to such a bandit. What happened now? It was a one-way trip!
Xie Congshan was really panicking at that moment. He did not dare to imagine how he would live without his family’s belongings. Thoughts were running through his head for a while, then he gritted his teeth and said, “If you don’t give me the things, I-I will hit my head against the door and die! I am Xie Niushan’s biological brother! If I die here, none of you will live in peace!”
When he said that, the steward was amused.
It was ridiculous that he stirred such a ruckus just to get the things back!
The steward looked at Xie Congshan with disdain.
Xie Congshan had been doing well in the past few years. Very few people looked down on him like that.
“First Young Master also said that there are many people who want to die here. If you want to die, then go ahead and kill yourself. Don’t forget to get someone here and collect your body!” The steward said again.
These words were really said by Xie Pinggang.
However, the First Young Master thought that the person who would come crying and begging for death would be the old lady. Who knew that it would actually be a man, Xie Congshan!
After saying these words, Xie Congshan’s face turned ashen. He mustered his courage and with a thud, he smashed the tea cup in front of him.
The steward raised his eyebrows.
Compared to the things that Xie Mangshan had sent over previously, this tiny loss was bearable.
Xie Congshan stayed at the Xie Residence and waited for a while. No one cared about him, so he had no choice but to leave.
When he returned to the rented courtyard, Xie Congshan was full of complaints.
“Eldest Brother, I went to Second Brother’s house earlier. I didn’t even see the owner of the house. He got a steward to send me away! You said that Second Brother would return the money to us, but now, I’ve drunk a belly full of tea. I didn’t even see a piece of snack, let alone silver!” Xie Congshan’s eyes were red, he was really crying.
Money, his money….
That was not just ten or a hundred taels of silver. His own private property worth more than a thousand taels of silver!
“You went to collect the debt?!” Xie Mangshan suddenly stood up. “Who told you to do that?! Are you wishing for my death?!”
The calamity had not passed yet!
Early in the morning, he heard crows calling outside. It was the time for bad luck!
“Eldest Brother!” You are muddle-headed. How could there be any calamity? Our family was initially fine. Ever since you met that Master, we have been in a mess. You were deceived by that Master! I don’t care. Either you go to Second Brother’s house and get the silver back, or you ask that Master to compensate me with the silver. You must pay me back! O-Or I’ll sue you for theft!” Xie Congshan was angry. He pointed at Xie Mangshan and cursed.
Xie Mangshan listened and laughed sarcastically.
He really was a villain in his life.
How many times had he emphasized this over the past few days? If his calamity was not solved, he might die. However, what did Xie Congshan do?
Compared to his life, his third brother’s mind was filled with money!
