After becoming the villain's eldest sister, I take charge of the whole family

along the way.

Passersby all looked at the little beggar with disgust, and many of them covered their mouths and noses.

The little beggar shrank his neck.

Xie Linghe remained calm and held his arm tightly.

Take your seat.

The waiter pinched his nose and asked, "Sir, what would you like to eat?"

Xie Linghe: "One dish of braised pork elbow, one dish of sweet and sour fish, one plate of stir-fried vegetables, and a bowl of mutton soup."

"Please prepare more food."

Waiter: “Okay~”

soon.

The food is here.

Xie Linghe gestured to the little beggar: "Eat quickly."

The little beggar stared at her blankly for a long time, nodded heavily, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.

"Eat slowly, don't choke!"

"..."

A quarter of an hour.

All the food was gone.

The little beggar slumped in the chair with a bulging belly, feeling satisfied.

Xie Ling didn't have much of an appetite to begin with, but seeing how relishing he was eating, he finished a whole bowl of rice without realizing it.

……

Leave the restaurant.

Xie Linghe felt a pang of pain in his heart when he thought about the meal he had just eaten, which cost him half a tael of silver.

Fortunately, she usually carries money with her, otherwise, she would have been in trouble today.

Go to the bun shop.

She bought the little beggar five days' worth of food.

"Keep watching Sun Shaozu for me to see if there's any pattern to their trysts."

"it is good."

……

Separate from the little beggar.

Xie Linghe thought about it and walked towards Sun’s grain and oil shop.

The waiter looked strange when he saw her.

Xie Linghe ignored him and tried to go to the back as if she knew the way, but the waiter reached out to stop her.

Xie Linghe paused, raised his eyebrows and looked at him unhappily.

The waiter shrugged: "You don't need to go in, the young mistress is not here."

"Not here?"

Xie Linghe was slightly surprised: "Then where did she go?"

The waiter helplessly spread his hands: "How should I know this?"

Xie Linghe pursed his lips.

She knew she had just spoken out of turn.

Since no one was there, there was no need for her to stay here. She turned around and left. Before leaving, she whispered to the waiter, "Thank you for the reminder."

The waiter's eyes suddenly widened.

When he came to his senses, Xie Linghe had already walked away.

He watched her departing figure and muttered, "The young mistress's sister isn't particularly scary after all."

In this regard.

Xie Linghe knew nothing.

She frowned and left Sun’s Grain and Oil Shop, thinking to herself: Where will my second sister go?

She knew Xie Lingfen's personality. She was shy and didn't like to see people. She didn't have many friends in this town and her social circle was within 500 meters of the Sun family's house.

Nothing will happen, right?

She felt uneasy.

At this time.

The system suddenly spoke: "Host, Xie Boyuan and Xie Lingfen have met."

"Um?!"

Xie Linghe's eyes widened and he subconsciously connected to the secondary system.

I saw.

The back door of the private school.

Xie Boyuan looked at Xie Lingfen across from him with a calm expression: "Second sister, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Xie Lingfen held her daughter in her arms and said anxiously, "I heard from my mother-in-law today that you made a bet with the young master of the Bai family cloth shop. Whoever loses will have to leave the private school and will never be able to take the imperial examination in this life, right?"

Hear the words.

Xie Boyuan frowned: "How do you know?"

Xie Lingfen replied: "Everyone in town is talking about it. Everyone knows about it."

Xie Boyuan's expression became even uglier.

See this.

Xie Lingfen confirmed.

She stamped her feet anxiously: "Bo Yuan, you are too impulsive!"

"How could you gamble your future?! If you really lose, all the hard work of our parents and us over the years will be in vain..."

Hearing this accusation, Xie Boyuan looked displeased and interrupted impatiently: "Second sister, don't worry about this. If there is nothing else, I will go back to study first."

Done.

Turn around and leave.

Xie Lingfen called out to him, "Brother, don't go..."

Xie Boyuan didn't look back.

Seeing this scene through the secondary system, Xie Linghe's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death: This brat has no respect for my second sister at all!

At the back door.

Xie Lingfen's face was pale.

Perhaps sensing the mother's sadness, the baby in her arms suddenly started crying: "Wuwuwu..."

Xie Lingfen frantically tried to coax her: "Nini, be good, don't cry~"

In front.

Xie Boyuan paused.

After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and went back.

When Xie Lingfen saw his shoes, she looked up in surprise. Xie Boyuan reached out and took the child, held her in his arms and coaxed her gently. Soon, the child stopped crying.

"I am indeed smart!"

He smiled smugly, then glanced at Xie Lingfen, and said patiently, "Second sister, don't worry. Since I dare to bet, I must be sure."

Done.

He thought of something and his face turned cold: "Did that old hag from the Sun family hear about the bet between Bai Lingxing and me and bully you again?"

Seeing her brother's confidence, Xie Lingfen felt relieved. She chose to conceal his questioning: "No, I'm just worried about you."

"Since you want to grasp it, Second Sister believes in you."

After hearing her say this, Xie Boyuan no longer had any doubts and his expression became better.

Xie Linghe was not so easily fooled.

After reading the book, she knew very well how hateful Li was.

Keep reading.

Xie Lingfen pulled out a piece of silver from her bosom, at least one or two taels, and handed it to Xie Boyuan: "Brother, you have to go to the provincial capital to take the college entrance examination, and the expenses along the way are quite high. I don't have the ability to help you much, so this is a small gift from me, take it."

See this.

Xie Boyuan's eyes lit up slightly.

Without hesitation, he reached out to take it.

Sudden.

A cold voice sounded beside my ears: "As the head of the family, please be self-reliant."

His whole body stiffened.

Then, he suddenly pulled his hand back.

Xie Lingfen was puzzled: "Brother, why don't you take it?"

Xie Boyuan felt so distressed that he stuffed the child into her arms and turned his head away, saying, "I have my own money. You can keep your money for yourself. Don't give me money in the future."

Done.

Without giving Xie Lingfen a chance to speak, he strode over.

He had to run away, as he was afraid that he would lose control and snatch the money.

Heart hurts.

My silver!

See this.

Xie Linghe sneered, keeping his achievements and fame to himself.

Now that she knew Xie Lingfen was fine, she felt relieved and disconnected.

Xie Lingfen, on the other hand, stared blankly at Xie Boyuan's departing back, and kept looking for a long time until he disappeared.

Come back to your senses.

She looked down at the silver in her hand, a tear suddenly fell on the silver, but a happy smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

……

Xie Linghe returned home.

Nothing else happened that afternoon.

Changhai Town.

Class is over.

Xie Boyuan received several large sheets of exercises from Master Liu and left the school with a bitter face.

He didn't come home.

Instead, I went to the bookstore first.

The bookstore owner smiled as soon as he saw him: "Xie Tongsheng, have you finished copying the copy of 'Youxue Qionglin' ​​that you took away two days ago?"

This Xie Tongsheng seemed like a different person. He was very diligent and could basically copy a book in three days.

Xie Boyuan didn't lose anything, he definitely made a lot of money.

Therefore, his attitude towards Xie Boyuan became more and more enthusiastic.

opposite.

Xie Boyuan nodded and took out the copied book: "Please review it, shopkeeper."

"No need to read, I believe you."

The bookshop owner put it down and asked tentatively, "Is Xie Tongsheng going to have to stop copying books for a while?"
