Before fleeing famine, marry a playboy!

Chapter 209: The capable are promoted, the mediocre are demoted

Li Yuening and Xie Shi returned to Xie's house hungry and full of worries. Xie Yi ran over and asked, "Third brother, Third sister-in-law, where have you been?"

"Do I need your permission to go anywhere?" Li Yuening was in a bad mood and her tone was a little stiff.

Xie Yi stopped and looked at Xie Shi, as if asking, Third brother, did you make Third Sister-in-law angry?

Xie Shi was also in a bad mood. He said nothing and walked around him.

Xie Yi was confused and murmured, "What's going on?"

"Look at how heartless you are. People who don't know would think they are your real brothers and sisters-in-law." Xie Fan slapped Xie Yi on the back of the head and left after saying this.

Xie Yi didn't understand. It was just one night, but he felt that everyone was acting weird.

Brother, you didn't talk like this before.

My third brother and his wife have never done this before. Did something happen that he doesn’t know about?

Xie Yi looked at his fourth brother, the only one who was still normal, and asked, "Fourth brother, what happened last night?"

Xie Hang looked at the people walking away, then looked at Xie Yi and said seriously: "If one day,

Let you choose between the second brother and the third brother,

Who do you choose?

There is a difference in closeness, and everyone would choose their biological brother, but Xie Hang felt that Xie Yi might not choose his second brother.

As expected, Xie Yi said: "You also said that there is a second brother and a third brother.

We are all family, why should we choose? "

Xie Yi was not stupid, so he certainly understood what Xie Hang meant. He asked in a low voice, "Does Second Brother want to compete with Third Sister-in-law for the position of head of the family?"

Xie Hang raised his eyebrows, thinking that his brother was not that stupid, "If so, what would you do?"

Xie Yi curled his lips, "It's not that I look down on my second brother,

He can’t afford the current Xie family.”

"So you support the third brother?" Xie Hang asked.

Xie Yi did not answer directly, but said: "Second brother is not as courageous and skillful as third sister-in-law.

Before they came back, the government was in disarray, with no one to lead the government.

Apart from those who curry favor with the powerful, there are many people who are loyal to the Xie family, but they are used to following orders.

At this time, there was no one to lead them, and they were just running around aimlessly like fireflies without any direction.

If the second brother wanted to do something, those people would definitely support him, but he missed the opportunity in vain.

Now that the third brother and his wife are in charge of the internal affairs and external affairs respectively, they have managed the house in perfect order, and the second brother just wanted to take over."

Xie Yi shook his head, "Opportunities are rare and will never come back again."

"That's not second brother's fault. Grandpa and uncle are still alive. How can you interfere in other people's affairs?"

"The capable ones are promoted and the mediocre ones are demoted. Fourth brother, these are principles that you and I both understand. Why are you so confused today?" Xie Yi looked at Xie Hang in surprise. Where is your usual cleverness and alertness?

Xie Hang knocked Xie Yi on the forehead and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?

Of course I understand the logic, but shouldn't you stand with your second brother?

He is your brother.”

"Fourth brother, since ancient times, only when the family and the country are in harmony can the family prosper. Similarly, when brothers are united, that is the way to make the family prosperous.

The Xie family could not prosper by relying on the second brother or the third brother.

It's all thanks to you and me. Although I like to play, I won't be a troublemaker." Xie Yi was proud.

Xie Hang couldn't help but attack again, "Who do you say is the troublemaker? Hmm? Who?"

Xie Yi screamed from being beaten and ran away, "You asked me, so I told you the truth. You want to hear advice, but you don't want to hear the truth. Fourth brother, you are really hard to please."

Xie Hang rubbed his numb wrist, feeling relieved that his silly brother was not completely stupid after all. He was afraid that one day the brothers would quarrel and this kid would be caught in the middle and be embarrassed. Now he felt relieved.

Xie Yi walked on the road, restraining his expression. His second brother wanted to compete with his third sister-in-law for the head of the family, so he wanted to inform his third brother.

Thinking of this, Xie Yi turned around and headed towards Shiyuan. He walked a few steps and stopped.

But if his second brother knew that he had tipped off the secret, would he become estranged from him?

Xie Yi scratched his head. The palms and backs of his hands were all made of flesh, and he would be sad if he hurt anyone.

Tu Xiaoxiao, who was about to go out, saw Xie Yi standing at the gate of the courtyard and spinning around. She thought of how he had played with her before.

Tu Xiaoxiao felt a little guilty for not seeing Mr. Xie for the last time. She pursed her lips and asked, "Why don't you go in?

What are you doing here?

When Xie Yi saw Tu Xiaoxiao, his eyes lit up and he said hurriedly: "You came at the right time. Let me ask you, if there is a conflict between your fellow apprentices,

Are you helping your senior brother or your junior brother?"

Tu Xiaoxiao's little head was filled with images of senior brothers scolding junior brothers, with the junior brothers lowering their heads and listening obediently. It was impossible for what Xie Wulang said to happen.

Tu Xiaoxiao shook her head.

Xie Yi, "No one will help?

But if you do something to hurt each other, won’t you be sad?”

Tu Xiaoxiao shook her head. They didn’t dare to do so. At the very least they would be expelled from the sect, at the worst their cultivation would be abolished and they would become useless.

Xie Yi's shoulders collapsed, but he was sad.

Tu Xiaoxiao, "The famous swordsmen have strict etiquette and discipline. My senior and junior brothers dare not disobey the rules of the master.

In normal martial arts competitions, winning and losing are common. If you hold a grudge against the other party because of this, it only shows that you are narrow-minded, which is not good for your cultivation.

So I haven't seen what you said.

Why do you ask such a question?"

Xie Yi found a nearby step, sat down, and patted the empty seat next to him.

Tu Xiaoxiao sat on the ground and waited for Xie Yi's answer.

Xie Yi sighed deeply, "You have been at my house for several days.

I guess I've heard some gossip in the mansion."

Tu Xiaoxiao waved her hands awkwardly and said, "I don't believe those rumors."

However, there were so many people in the teahouse, and it was hard for Tu Xiaoxiao to forget what she had heard, including the feud between Xie Yi's father and his brothers.

Xie Yi didn't care. He didn't know how many unpleasant things he had heard. "Now that my grandfather has just passed away,

There is going to be trouble at home because of the family affairs.

One is my respected sister-in-law, and the other is my dear brother.

I am in a difficult situation. "

Tu Xiaoxiao, "Third sister-in-law? Are you talking about Sister Yue Ning?"

Xie Yi nodded.

"Sister Yue Ning is thoughtful and considerate, and most importantly, she can handle things.

You don't have to worry too much since she is in charge of your family." Tu Xiaoxiao said worriedly:

"Don't underestimate her because she is a girl. All the way back from Nanshan, even Senior Brother Wei Wuchen had to listen to her opinions on many things."

Xie Yi, "Of course I know that my third sister-in-law is a powerful person, but my second brother doesn't know.

Now he is going to take the family seal from my third sister-in-law. If he angers her, will she destroy my second brother in a rage?"

The more I think about it, the more likely it is. Li Yuening is so tough.

Tu Xiaoxiao didn't understand, "Why is your second brother vying to be the head of the family?

Being the head of a household is not an easy job, not to mention the tiredness.

I work harder than an ox, sleep less than a chicken, toil hard for my family every day, and still can't get any good results.

Don't think that Sister Yue Ning didn't say she was tired.

She just took it on silently. I woke up several times at night and saw the lights in the yard next door were still on. It was very hard work.”

Xie Yi: Of course it is rights.

The right to speak is also a kind of right. As long as it is power and benefit, people will be crazy about it.

Seeing that he was absorbed in his thoughts, Tu Xiaoxiao said, "Sister Yuening is a reasonable person and won't take action without reason.

If your second brother really doesn't want to accept Sister Yue Ning as the head of the family, he can just compete with her. Whoever is more capable will be the head of the family.

Just like my brothers, if there is dissatisfaction, we will fight to the death. There is no safer way than this, right?"

Xie Yi, "It's not that simple."

Xie Yi always felt that his second brother had other reasons for being determined to take back the reins of the family.
