Chapter 348: Poor and Miserable

Xie Pinghuai’s words were offensive, and he looked at the Lin family with disdain.

Even Xie Qiao did not expect him to say such things.

“Mother?” Lin Yaxiang’s face turned grim when she heard Xie Pinghuai’s words, “Everyone outside said that Ms. Lu treated you well, so we felt lucky for you. You met a kind stepmother, but I see that you don’t even know the rules. It shows that this person isn’t good. It makes sense that Bandit Xie to chase her away!”

Mother, who was his mother?

As long as Bandits Xie’s three wives were still recorded in the household register, he could call each of them mother. If he did not call them mother, he would be insensible.

However, now that Ms. Lu had left, he still addressed her that?

He was a good child who knew how to repay kindness, but Ms. Lu actually taught him to look down on the external family. It could be seen that the woman was narrow-minded and a bad person. She could not even distinguish between right and wrong. That was really disappointing.

“Ya’er,” Grandpa Lin looked at Lin Yaxiang unhappily.

They were here as guests. Even if they were a little upset, they should not announce it to the public and make the master unhappy.

Lin Yaxiang exhaled, then she said to Xie Qiao, “Young Lady Xie, I’m a straightforward person. Don’t take offense. All these years, we’ve been trying our best to save money in order to meet these two children. It’s just that this ordinary family can’t be like that rich and noble family and be generous. However, even so, this gift today shows our sincerity. Perhaps it is a little unpresentable, but the love we have for these two children is sincere.”

The Lin family was indeed not a big family.

Currently, they only had less than 50 taels of silver on hand.

Initially, they had gathered a hundred taels of silver. They had spent half of it when they came to the Xie family this time.

Although they had spent the money, they really did not think of earning it back from the Xie family.

It was not like they did not know the name of Bandit Xie.

Were they seeking death to be taking money from bandits?

“You’re too kind,” Xie Qiao said guiltily, “My Eldest Brother and I know that you’ve put in a lot of effort. This kid’s words… are a little rude. But I’ll be frank here. He’s usually like this, so I’m afraid what he had just said isn’t the worst thing yet. Now that I’ve said it, you guys will be aware. If he’s staying at the Lin Residence in the future, don’t spoil him.”

From her point of view, the Lin family had several advantages.

Firstly, they practiced medicine and had good intentions in their hearts.

Secondly, Grandpa Lin taught his daughters and disciples. They seemed to have a good character and would have a good influence on Xie Pinghuai.

Thirdly, the Lin family was Xie Pinghuai’s maternal family.

This younger brother of hers usually looked heartless, but he was still young and had some respect for his elders. Otherwise, he would not have gone up to them even though he knew that Ms. Lu was deliberately scheming against him.

He could not let go of Ms. Lu because Ms. Lu was the only one in the Xie family who had treated him well.

Even if it was an act, it was enough to satisfy Xie Pinghuai.

The Lin family could definitely do better than Ms. Lu in this aspect.

At that moment, Xie Pinghuai was angry when he heard what Xie Qiao said.

Who was going to stay at the Lin Residence?!

That house must be dirty, messy, poor, and miserable. They could not eat meat or drink wine. They probably did not even have toilet paper. He would not go!

Xie Pinghuai had been throwing a tantrum. He was being difficult and looked like he deserved a beating.

At that moment, in front of the Lin family, Xie Qiao did not say anything.

The Lin family did not talk about that.

After the meal, Xie Qiao invited the Lin family members back to the guest room to rest. Only then did she call the two younger ones over.
