Chapter 105 Don’t worry about scarcity but inequality

Li Yuening looked at Xie Shi, "Really?"

Xie Shi said seriously: "Really, I saw with my own eyes a family fighting over a chicken during a wake."

Li Yuening's eyes widened, "Who wouldn't cover up this kind of thing? Doing it secretly and letting everyone know about it is so embarrassing."

Xie Shi, "Maybe he wanted to do it secretly, but the distribution was uneven, so he couldn't hide it."

"Yes, what is worrying is not the lack of food but the inequality. The most worrying thing for a family is the uneven distribution of water. Xie Shi, just wait and see, the old man's move will definitely chill the hearts of the people in the second house." Li Yuening finished the last piece of meat in the bowl, put down her chopsticks, and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.

Xie Shi lowered his head, "When has he ever taken other people to heart?"

As for the second wife of the Xie family whom they were discussing, Mrs. Lu's eyes were swollen from crying. Seeing that his wife was crying and couldn't be comforted, Xie Er also wiped his tears in anxiety.

The three brothers Xie Fan, Xie Hang and Xie Yi sat in a row. The atmosphere was very low and no one spoke.

After a while, perhaps because he was annoyed by his parents crying, Xie Yi said, "Mom, please stop crying. It makes my head hurt. No matter how much you cry, it won't change Grandpa's decision. Why bother?"

Xie Fan disagreed: "Fifth brother, how can you talk to mother like that?"

"I'm not wrong. We are here to think of a solution. How can we discuss it if you're crying like this?" Xie Yi curled his lips.

Mrs. Lu sniffed and muttered, "I feel sorry for you guys. Alas, it's all because your parents are useless and can't help you, wuwu~"

The veins on Xie Yi's forehead were throbbing. He kept repeating the same thing over and over again, which made people feel annoyed. He turned his gaze to Xie Hang, who had been silent the whole time, and said, "Fourth brother, can you say something?"

Xie Hang had a wooden face. When he spoke, everyone realized that his voice was hoarse. "Second brother, fifth brother, let's split up."

Mrs. Lu said sternly, "No." If the family split up, how would they survive?

Xie Hang looked at Lu with dead eyes, "Mom, we have been relying on the eldest wife for these years. Now you can see that it was grandpa who abandoned us first.

He only has his big brother in his heart. Although I am not as talented as his big brother in studying, I also work hard. However, now I am like a joke, a joke. "

Xie Yi was the one who knew the most. Hearing this, he called out, "Fourth Brother."

Xie Hang, "Fourth brother, dividing the family is a big deal, grandpa will not agree."

How could he not know what his brother was thinking? He was hurt by their grandfather, but it was impossible to divide the family business while their grandfather was still around. Even if their grandfather was gone, it didn't mean that the family business could be divided. Now he couldn't bear the burden of the second house.

Xie Hang sighed deeply and didn't dare to look into his two younger brothers' eyes.

Xie Yi clenched his fist and said, "I'll go find the third brother. I can't let the eldest brother get the upper hand anyway, humph."

After saying that, he stood up from the chair and ran away. Even when Mrs. Lu shouted at him from behind, she didn't stop him.

Lu stamped her feet, "What an injustice."

Xie Fan said, "Mom, let him go. He has been close to the third brother since they were young. Now that they are together, maybe they can come up with a good idea."

Xie Hang stood up and said, "Dad, Mom, and Second Brother, I'm going back to my room. You don't need to call me for dinner."

Xie Fan, "You...it's a foregone conclusion, just take it easy."

Xie Hang nodded and staggered out of the house.

Mrs. Lu began to wipe her tears again and said to Xie Fan, "You are the one I can rely on, the second brother. I can't control your brothers anymore."

Xie Fan pursed his lips.

Li Yuening and Xie Shi came out of the space after eating, and were about to pack up and go out, when they were greeted by an uninvited guest.

Bai Yi led Xie Yi in, and the couple looked at each other. You don’t have to think about why they came to see you at this time.

"Third brother, third sister-in-law." Xie Yi greeted them.

"Sit down, Bai Yi, serve some tea." Xie Shi pulled Li Yuening to sit at the top and asked, "Fifth brother, what's the matter with you coming here at this hour?"

Xie Yi raised his lips. He was used to Xie Shi's knowing questions and said straight to the point, "Third brother, you just watched the Xie family being handed over by grandfather. If the eldest brother takes his share,

I won't say anything, but now he is taking all of our shares, and I don't accept it."

He paused, looked at Li Yuening who was sitting beside him and said, "Besides, Grandpa said at the beginning that whoever marries the third sister-in-law will be the head of the family in the future. Are you just going to put up with it?"

This is to remind Xie Shi that you are the one who suffers the most.

Xie Shi only said, "Big brother is useless."

Xie Yi was stunned for a moment, "But didn't grandpa ask you to find medicine?"

Xie Shi, "Baihua Valley is so easy to get to, who am I? At most, I am just a small figure who has just started out in the underworld. Grandpa, he thinks too highly of me."

Xie Shi did not hesitate to use self-deprecation to tell Xie Yi that promising to find the medicine and being able to find it are two different concepts.

The reason why the old man was so sure that he could find it was because Xie Shi knew people from Yunwu Mountain and Cangjian Villa.

Xie Yi thought about it, and then the man in white brought a teacup and placed it next to him, "Fifth Master, have some tea."

"Oh." Xie Yi looked at Xie Shi while holding the teacup, "But even so, grandpa still let my eldest brother go to the main house. Is he planning to give up on my fourth brother?"

Xie Shi gave him a look that said, "Didn't you already have the answer?" ˉ\_(ツ)_/ˉ

Xie Yi put the teacup heavily on the table and said angrily, "Northwest? What is that place? It's a wild place. If I and my brothers go there, it will cut off our future. We are all his grandchildren, why are we treated so differently?"

Xie Yi poured out all the troubles in his heart, feeling a little relieved, and picked up the teacup to take a sip.

Without waiting for Xie Shi and Li Yuening to talk, he continued, "My fourth brother will definitely be on the list this year. If so, he won't even have a chance to get off the list. Hasn't Grandpa ever thought about his feelings?"

Xie Shi could understand, "What about you? I heard that you are also good at studying."

Xie Yi shook his head, "I don't like studying, but my mother forced me to study.

In fact, I have long wanted to follow my second brother to do business. It is good to have one person in the family who can study. In the future, my second brother and I can do business to support my fourth brother to take the imperial examination. When he passes, our family can also be glorious. "

Xie Shi listened without commenting. When he heard Xie Yi say that he didn't like studying but doing business, he asked, "Yu Cheng told me that the government was collecting anonymous reports. Did you sign up?"

Xie Yi became interested and nodded, "Unfortunately, my grandfather ordered me to stop."

"For now, if you really like doing business, you can hang out with Liu Quan and Yu Cheng more often. Yu Cheng has been doing business with my grandfather for many years and has a lot of experience.

Liu Quan is an expert in mathematics, and if you learn a little from him, it will be enough for you."

Xie Shi is not stingy in offering a ladder to those who are ambitious. The prosperity of the Xie family does not rely solely on him and Yue Ning. Wouldn't it be better if he could train some people?

Xie Yi stood up excitedly, "Really, thank you, Third Brother." Then he crossed his arms and bowed.

Xie Shi waved his hand, "We are all brothers, there is no need to be like this."

After thinking for a while, Xie Shi asked, "You and your fourth brother have read a lot of books. Have you ever come into contact with rock salt?"

"What is rock salt? I've never heard of it." Xie Yi was unfamiliar with it. "Well, I'll ask Fourth Brother when I get back."

Xie Shi reached out his hand to Li Yuening, who understood what he meant and handed a bag of rock and soil to Xie Shi.

"Here, this is it. The white thing inside is salt. I'm worried about how to extract the salt. You can explore it. This is salt, don't let others know."

Salt is a serious matter, and Xie Yi knows the importance of it.

After receiving the errand, Xie Yi felt that he was still useful. He walked out of the courtyard with brisk steps.
