Chapter 74 Xia Shuheng fainted

After Fang finished speaking, she stood up abruptly, stretched out her hand to hold Xia Jizu, and said with a sob.

"My poor child, since the Xia family can't accommodate us, then we will leave the Xia family. Mother will bring you up even if she is begging for food..."

Seeing this, Wang Bowen hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Mother-in-law, don't let yourself get overwhelmed. If you leave, who will take care of father-in-law, please calm down, the matter of stepfather is easy to discuss...!"

Xia Shuheng kept silent, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't.

Xia Shuheng has opened the Jade Bank for so many years, and he has never seen any storms, how could he not understand Fang's tricks!

However, no matter what, Xia Jizu was his own son, and the only child of the Xia family.

Even if he knew that Xia Jizu was wrong, what could he do, could he still drive him out of the house?
In case, the only son really ran away, who would inherit his family business in the future?

Thinking of this, Xia Shuheng sighed secretly, and waved his hand at Fang, "Do it first, what's the point of crying in front of the children?"

Having said that, Xia Shuheng's tone paused, and then continued, "I know about the ancestor, but as for the money he lost..."

Xia Shuheng turned his head to look at Xia Jizu, suppressed his anger, and asked in a cold voice.

"Jizu, how much silver did you lose, can you tell me the exact amount?"

Hearing Xia Shuheng's question, Xia Jizu breathed a sigh of relief. He understood that this test was over.

Xia Jizu was about to tell the amount of silver, but suddenly his heart moved.

This time, Jiang Wenxiang borrowed a total of 14 taels of silver. If the amount of 14 taels of silver is revealed, then if he wants to play poker again in the future, wouldn't he even lose his capital.

Thinking of this, Xia Jizu gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.

"I borrowed 18 taels of silver from Young Master Jiang!"

Hearing the number reported by Xia Jizu, Na suddenly became quiet. Even Fang, who was choking up, stopped his tears at this moment and looked at Xia Shuheng nervously.

Wang Bowen only felt bursts of blood rushing up, making him a little dizzy!
18 taels of silver, if they were all exchanged for silver, a carriage would not be able to pull them away, what a prodigal!

After the second uncle Geng Zhongwu realized it, he couldn't help but exclaimed.

"18 taels of silver, what a huge pile...!"

Xia Panpan, who was standing beside Geng Zhongwu, saw that Fang's face became a little ugly, and hurriedly pushed him, interrupting his sigh.

Only then did Geng Zhongwu realize that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he hurriedly kept his mouth shut and turned his head to look elsewhere.

For the 18 taels of silver, others feel heartache and regret, but Xia Shuheng feels his heart is bleeding.

The hard-earned money was lost by this prodigal thing in the blink of an eye!
The more Xia Shuheng thought about it, the more suffocated he became, and his breathing became more and more rapid. Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his chest, and his eyes became a little blurred, and his figure fell to the side unknowingly.

"master!"

"father!"

"father in law!"

Seeing that Xia Shuheng's condition was not good, everyone hurriedly surrounded him yelling.

Everyone pinched and pressed again. After a while, Xia Shuheng slowly recovered.

Xia Shuheng leaned weakly on the chair, looked at the people in front of him, and sighed, "I'm fine, don't worry!"

Fang squeezed to the front, took out a small handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, choked up and said, "Master, you must not have anything to do, if you have something to do, what will my ancestors and I do!"

Seeing Fang's tearful eyes, Xia Shuheng was a little moved. He reached out and stroked Fang's hair, and said in a low voice.

"It's okay, don't you think I'm fine?"

When Fang heard this, she hurriedly nodded!

Xia Mengmeng asked softly, "Father, why don't you go and rest for a while?"

Xia Shuheng nodded, "I'm really tired!"

Having said this, Xia Shuheng's tone paused before continuing, "Meng'er, go to the cashier to pay 18 taels of silver now, and ask your ancestor to return the borrowed silver first!"

After hearing Xia Shuheng's words, Xia Mengmeng frowned involuntarily, and said with some embarrassment.

"Father, when Uncle Liu and the others came the day before yesterday, my daughter saw that their goods were not bad, so she bought a lot more. Now the family really doesn't have so much money!"

Before Xia Shuheng could speak this time, Mrs. Fang beside you spoke first.

"Meng'er, the matter of inheriting the ancestors is important, otherwise, you should return the goods first and exchange the silver!"

Xia Mengmeng hurriedly shook her head when she heard the words, "But Uncle Liu and the others have already left today, even if we want to leave, we won't be able to return!"

Having said that, Xia Mengmeng's tone paused before continuing, "What's more, if we do this, wouldn't we become people without credibility?"

Hearing Xia Mengmeng's words, Fang said hurriedly, "Oh! I can't take care of that much now. The matter of inheriting the ancestors is the most important thing. Just do other things!"

Speaking of this, Fang's eyes suddenly brightened, "Since the surname Liu has left, we can transfer the goods to others, so we can get the money back!"

Xia Mengmeng shook her head, "If so many jade wares are transferred, they can only be transferred to other jade wares. They will definitely keep the price very low. By then, we will lose a lot of money!"

Fang shook the small handkerchief vigorously in front of Xia Mengmeng, "Oh, I can't care so much, if you lose a little, just lose a little, as long as you pay back the money owed by your ancestors, what are you afraid of if you lose a little money, hurry up!" go?"

Hearing everyone's conversation, Xia Jizu suddenly remembered that he had made an appointment with Jiang Wen to play cards tomorrow, so he said loudly.

"Young Master Jiang asked me to return the money tomorrow, third sister, you can get the money back quickly!"

Hearing that the money will be returned tomorrow, Fang was a little anxious at that time and hurriedly urged.

"Meng'er, hurry up and try to get the money back today!"

Xia Mengmeng felt a little embarrassed, so she could only look at Xia Shuheng as if asking for help.

Xia Shuheng has been running a jade shop for many years, so he naturally knew that it was wrong to do so, and it would do him no good. Seeing Xia Mengmeng looking over, he sighed.

"Meng'er is right, this batch of goods cannot be transferred out!"

Hearing Xia Shuheng's words, Fang's face changed suddenly, and he said hurriedly.

"Master, no, I heard that those people are very ruthless, if the money of the stepfather is not paid when it is due, it will be terrible!"

Speaking of this, Fang cried really anxiously this time, "Master, we only have this one son, if something happens to us, what will we do in the future!"

Xia Shuheng thought for a while, then struggled to stand up, and waved to the servant in the distance.

"Old Zhang, you go and prepare the carriage, I'll go out for a while."
