Among the generation, the old lady doted on Xie Pinghuai and Xie Xi the most. However, Xie Xi could not compare to the two granddaughters of the Xie brothers.
Ms. Lu would let Xie Xi wear pretty and expensive accessories to show the old lady that she was a good stepmother.
Each time when Xie Chun and Xie Zhu took Xie Xiâs things, she would allow them most of the time.
They did not lack in that anyway.
It would make the old lady happy if the accessories were given to Xie Chun and Xie Zhu.
Meanwhile, Xie Niushan was considered filial to the old lady. As long as the old lady liked her, only her status as a wife would be steady.
Therefore, Ms. Lu was behaving the same as before, âXiâer, be good. Letâs give them the bangles. Iâll buy more for you later.â
Xie Xi buried her head and said nothing.
âIs this what Mother has been teaching my Sister?â Xie Qiaoâs face was pale, but her eyes were cold.
Ms. Lu was stunned, to which she said in confusion, âQiao, you guys are sisters from the same family. We should share things. Also, look at these two sisters. Theyâre dressed so plain. You didnât even bring a gift as an elder sister. Why donât we give them these accessories as gifts from you?â
Xie Qiao smirked at Ms. Lu.
She then pressed on her chest while clutching her handkerchief. She held her forehead with one hand while in a daze. She looked weak.
âEldest Sister,â Xie Xi screamed in panic.
She shoved Xie Qiao away like a fool and ran into the house. She stood at the door and looked around before shaking Xie Pinghuai, âEldest Sisterâ¦sheâs sick!â
âWhat?â Xie Pinghuai was stunned. He stretched his neck and looked outside.
He was furious as he looked over.
He saw Xie Qiao seemed to be falling. Her face was extra pale under the sun. Ms. Jia and the rest seemed to be fierce as they surrounded his eldest sister. It seemedâ¦
They were bullying her!
Xie Pinghuai charged out quickly.
âWhat are you guys doing?! Are you bullying my Eldest Sister?!â Xie Pinghuai shouted immediately.
Ms. Jia and Ms. Xin were stunned, where Ms. Lu said immediately, âNo, Huaiâer. Why did you say that?!â
Xie Pinghuai held Xie Qiao instantly. She did not look better after getting support, âBrother, theyâre mean. They took Sisterâs and my things. I-I donât have anything good on me. M-Maybe I should just give them my life! Cough, cough, coughâ¦â
At that moment, Xie Pinghuaiâs fury had peaked.
âAre you guys shameless?! To be taking my Eldest Sisterâs things?! Didnât you guys see that sheâs weak?!â Xie Pinghuai said irritably.
His voice was much more powerful than Xie Zhuâs.
Was Xie Zhu not great at complaining to her mother� He could do that too.
Xie Pinghuai really thought his eldest sister was pitiful. At that moment, he had completely forgotten how Xie Qiao bullied him before.
After all, Xie Qiao looked like she was dying at the moment. She was so skinny and weak, at the same time so pretty. She was going to cry from being bullied!
Xie Pinghuaiâs scream had successfully attracted Xie Niushan and Xie Pinggang over.
The two men who were like bulls walking over in big steps.
The suppression as immense as mountains immediately appeared before the wife and the rest.
âWhat happened?â Xie Pinggangâs behavior was terrifying.
Xie Niushanâs expression was grim too. He got his two sons to help Xie Qiao to the house for a seat.
Xie Qiao spoke after panting for a while, âItâs my fault. Mother said that since we hardly visit, I-I should give all of the clothes and accessories Iâm wearing to my Sisters⦠I-Iâll go into the room to change. Iâll change into a sack dress⦠I-Iâll give all of the pretty ones to Sistersâ¦
