274: Fell to the Ground

Fell to the Ground

Xie Qiao told the truth with an obedient and serious face, "The shop has just opened. We haven't gotten the capital back yet." 1

"That's true. It has just opened. It's not bad if you don't lose money!" Xie Niushan sighed.

Xie Qiao's shop was actually not too shabby.

There were not many people in the shop. Other than the shopkeeper, there were only two errand boys and one who was taking care of Da Xiong. The furnishings were also simple. The main cost was things like cinnabar.

The talismans had been sold, and the profit was considerable.

If her father continued to ask, she would not hide the fact that she did not lose money.

However, it was clear that Xie Niushan was not interested in this shop that was "not lucrative".

"Leave the list to the steward. In the future, I'll buy them for you according to this list. Just let the people in your courtyard cook," Xie Niushan's heart was bleeding.

His mind was already thinking about taking a look at his private savings.

"Thank you, Father. You're so kind," Xie Qiao was sweet.

When Xie Niushan heard that, his mood became much more cheerful, "You little girl, why are you being so polite with Father? It's just things that can be solved with money. It's not a big deal. Just you wait. Father promises to feed you until you're big and fat!" 

It did not make sense that the annoying old master could afford to raise her, but he, Xie Niushan, could not!

Xie Qiao smirked lightly.

Xie Niushan could not sit still. After saying a few words, he hurriedly went back to his room to open the box.

However, when he reached the door, for some unknown reason, he did not even take a step forward. His legs went weak and he tripped at the doorsill directly. His entire face fell to the ground!

A loud thud was heard, the sound was terrifying!

Xie Qiao's eyelids twitched.

She chuckled awkwardly, "Father, are you alright?" 

"I'm fine. This darn doorsill! I'll get someone to tear it down later!" 

It would be a lie to say that he was fine!

Who was Xie Niushan?! He had lived for so long. Other than the many grievances he had suffered in his own home when he was young, he had been doing well ever since he arrived at the mountain stronghold. Now, he actually fell to the ground in front of his daughter?!

After Xie Niushan got up, he kicked the doorsill.

In the end, he hit his foot.

Enduring the pain, his face turned red.

He looked so pitiful.

Xie Qiao pursed her lips and snorted lightly.

Who asked her father to bully her before? If it was not for her eldest brother making the decision for him, this dumb father would have made terribe mistakes!

She would have killed him!

She would come again tomorrow!

Xie Qiao's face was serious. She simply ate some food and went back.

On the way back, she saw Xie Pinggang with the pair of younger siblings. He looked at her from afar, and then he carried the two little things away with him.

Xie Qiao was not upset. After all, she just wanted to bully her biological father who had never taken responsibility. She did not want to harm her siblings. It was better to stay far away. When her dark energy subsided, she would play with them again!

On the other side, Xie Niushan returned to his room with a sullen face. When he entered the room, he closed the door. Then, he lifted one of his feet and jumped on the bed. When he took off his shoes and socks, he saw that his big toe was bruised.

Xie Niushan grimaced. He applied the medicine and endured the pain to open the box.

When he opened the box, his face turned grim.

He had a few precious boxes. The one in the room was for Ms. Lu to buy things. He thought that since he did not need it anyway, the money in the box would be saved for rainy days.

However... It was empty.

Forget it, he was the one who promised to let Ms. Lu take it away. A man should be generous!

He turned around and went back to the armory to open the box.

He stored his precious treasures there!
