Chapter 178

"How could I be a disservice?" Xie Xie smiled with a rare good temper, "Isn't it okay to be a dumb person?"

"It's okay, don't go." Xi Lang's voice was slightly gentler, "I'll find you again if I need anything."

"Really?" Xie Xie's eyes lit up.

"Well. Go back to your room and have dinner."

"Success!" Xi Jie Tathagata walked away in a hurry just like when he came.

Xi Lang went to Songhe Hall, and met the man who claimed to be from Xiangzhixuan's hometown in the hall.

He was a man in his twenties, with a businessman's humility in his smile, and shrewd eyes in his eyes.As soon as he saw Xilang, he stepped forward to salute.

"What's your surname?" Xi Lang asked.

"My surname is Luo."

Just as Xi Lang was about to continue talking, a servant girl said, "Fourth Master, Madam, please come in and talk."

Xi Lang came to the old lady's hospital bed, bowed his hands and saluted, "Greetings to the old lady."

The old lady struggled to sit up, and the servant girl stuffed two big pillows behind her back.After taking a sip of ginseng soup, she explained: "I called you here to discuss something with you, don't think about it." Pointing to the chair in front of the bed, she sighed, "Sit, don't sit in front of me. Sticking, you are dressed like black impermanence, looking at it gives you a headache."

Xi Lang bent his lips, turned and sat down.

The old lady then continued: "Boss Luo outside, have you seen it?"

"I see. What's the origin?"

The old lady said: "There are some twists and turns, don't worry, listen to me in detail. I speak slowly now."

Xi Lang nodded, "No hurry, just speak slowly."

The old lady's expression softened a lot, "Boss Luo is really your wife's fellow villager. I told your second aunt to pass the message because I was afraid that you would not come over. He came to the capital to find your brother-in-law to partner in a business. It was agreed a month ago, but now your uncle has backed down. The Xiang family has no capital, you don’t need me to say this, you know it well. Besides, from Boss Luo’s words, it’s your uncle’s intention to avoid suspicion. For your consideration."

Xi Longman responded and waited for the next sentence.

The old lady paused for a while before continuing: "Boss Luo sold all his ancestral property in Guangzhou, and this time he came to Beijing, he made up his mind to take root here. But your uncle quit, he can't be ashamed Back in Guangzhou, I’ve been busy looking for a way out these days. Your second uncle and aunt accidentally learned about this from a clerk outside, so they thought of partnering with him to make some money. Your second uncle and their house saved It’s a lot of money, but luckily I can find some way, and the rest of the property can be quickly transferred to get some silver. But, in this way, they are worried that you will obstruct them, so they have been hesitant. I talked about this matter. You also know that I am a person who has run out of oil and lamps. I don’t ask for anything else right now. I only ask that your second uncle and the others have more money and have no worries about food and clothing. So, this time, I am asking you Make room for one or two, and stop interfering with them."

Xi Lang just laughed, "You are serious, how dare I interfere with the affairs of my second uncle's room."

This is obviously perfunctory.The old lady sighed, "You don't interfere with their affairs in the room, what you interfere with is related to their life's fate. Just say whether you agree or not?"

Xi Lang stared at the old lady, "If I shouldn't come down, what would you do?"

The old lady smiled bitterly, "What can I do? It's just to tell your father something before he dies."

Xi Lang looked at the old lady for a while, his eyes became colder and colder, and then slowly got up, "I agree, but you have to remind them to restrain themselves, otherwise, it will be the elder who hinders their way of making money."

"I'll tell him. He's not as hard to talk as you are."

"Yeah." Xi Lang turned around and looked back, "I'm fine, but you are sick, do you want me to come here every now and then to say hello to you?"

The old lady waved her hand, "Don't worry, I don't have many days to live, why be so impatient. If you don't come here once, I will live one more day."

Xi Lang laughed it off, and when he turned around, there was a chill in his back.
