This is the unknown expectation in Xie Wubing's heart, the ultimate goal that he has worked hard for all these years.
"sister."
As soon as he left the store and crossed the threshold, the wiry Xie Wubing bumped into Xie Wuhan, who was returning from delivering medicinal materials for Suning.
The cowardly girl back then has grown into a graceful and mature woman, with her hair tied in a hairpin and a dignified manner.
She was wearing a light green dress, holding a few boxes of exquisite snacks she bought along the way. She looked at her unsatisfied younger brother with a hint of anger and said, "Are you coming to Uncle Yi to borrow money again?"
Xie Wubing shrank his neck, pretending to be an ostrich like he did when he was a child, and said, "No, no. I'm here to see Uncle Yi and ask him to go out as little as possible at night."
While talking, he hid the gold coin in his right hand behind his back.
Xie Wuhan sneered and said: "If you don't know what to do, you can't do anything except yourself. Your sister, I am neither blind nor deaf, and my heart is like a mirror."
"Why, the two gold coins you borrowed from me last month were neither long nor short, and you are trying to trick Uncle Yi again this month?"
"If dad knew about this..."
With her pretty face frosted, she said in a serious tone: "Do you still want these two legs?"
Xie Wubing said with a sad face: "Sister, there have been so many favors in the past two months, I can't avoid them at all."
"Mom, it's not like you don't know that it's easy to ask for it if you hand it over."
"Hey, I can't beg on the street with a bowl, right?"
"No matter how bad it is, I am now one of the eight chief guards of the city lord's palace. I just want to save face."
Xie Wuhan couldn't see that her little baby brother was pretending to be pitiful, so she held the pastry box with one hand, took out the purse she had sewn from her sleeve, carefully poured out two gold coins and said, "Sister, it's not that I feel sorry for money, just like
You don’t know the deep meaning of Uncle Yi’s beating on you.”
"Think about it carefully, you spend so much on Deputy Commander Liu every month, has he ever taken special care of you? Or praised you in front of the orthodox leader Yu Tiejing and the Lord of the City?"
Xie Wubing pondered: "That's not true, but Vice Commander Liu said that we are all his capable officers and should be treated equally."
Xie Wuhan sneered: "Treat everyone equally?"
"Then why is it that you are in charge of the most chaotic North Street, while your good brother Qiu Lansheng, who is also one of the guard chiefs, can be in charge of the most laid-back and most lucrative South Street?"
"Is his cultivation higher than yours? Or is his personal ability stronger than yours?"
Xie Wubing retorted loudly: "How is it possible? My strength and ability are obvious to all. I am ranked first among the six guard chiefs."
Xie Wuhan said contemptuously: "So? Uncle Yi is right, you have a pig brain."
After that, she said no more and walked into the store holding the cakes.
Xie Wubing followed up distractedly, "Sister, please stop being so secretive and just say what you have to say, okay?"
"I, how am I stupid?"
Unconvinced, he straightened his back, put his hands on his hips, and said angrily: "Give me a reason to convince yourself."
Xie Wuhan ignored it and lowered his head to talk to Suning.
"sister."
Xie Wubing leaned against the shelf, his face full of stubbornness.
Suning ate a piece of sesame cake and saw that Xie Wuhan ignored him. Without any explanation, he could only act as a peacemaker and said: "The guard captain has been promoted, and that is the post of deputy commander Liu who is in charge of you now."
"No matter how obedient you are on the surface or how much money you give in private, if the orthodox leader Yu Tiejing won't be transferred, why do you occupy the dove's nest and replace him?"
"On the other hand, who has the final say in the transfer of positions in the City Lord's Mansion?"
"Remember, it's not Deputy Commander Liu who you wholeheartedly want to please, but Yu Tiejing, who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people, and the Lord of the City who is in charge of the entire Yingjiang City."
Xie Wubing's eyes twitched, and he had an epiphany in his heart: "What do you mean, I've been fawning over the wrong person in the past few years?"
"I, I used my monthly money to honor him in vain?"
"Sister, don't stop me, I'm going to hit the wall."
"Woooooooo..."
Suning was so happy that she couldn't help laughing.
Xie Wuhan raised the corners of his mouth and smiled knowingly.
