C39 (1/2)

Xu Shiqiu admitted that he did not have any way to take over the military power, and was also because he was worried that Dong Shu would not get used to it if she changed her place to live.

After staying in the Xiahe Village for nine years, he had gotten used to the climate and the slow pace. He did not want to return to the capital.

Seeing that Xu Shiqiu's attitude was firm, Old Madame Xu could only sigh helplessly and say: ”Since that's the case, then Mother will give you guys more valuable things. ”Leave 10% of the items that His Majesty bestowed upon me and I'll carefully divide the rest in the next two days.”

The moment Old Madame Xu opened her mouth, Xu Shiqiu wanted to speak, but when the Old Madame Xu finished speaking, he didn't know what to say.

It just so happened that at this time, Dong Shu had eaten her fill and drank the warm red date tea in the cup with satisfaction, then sighed softly.

Hearing Young Girl's sigh, Xu Shiqiu immediately turned to look at her and asked worriedly: ”Does my wife feel uncomfortable or do you have something to say?” Xu Shiqiu saw that Dong Shu had guessed wrongly the moment she finished speaking.

Because just as he opened his mouth, the Young Girl that heard him revealed a look of bewilderment.

Dong Shu indeed did not know what Xu Shiqiu was talking about. She was a person who was especially focused when eating, and since she had seen that his husband and mother-in-law had important matters to discuss, she naturally would only focus on eating snacks.

But being stared at by her husband and mother-in-law, Dong Shu was a little nervous. She didn't do anything just now, did she?

Xu Shiqiu understood Dong Shu quite well, but when he saw her blank expression, he immediately understood that her sigh just now was most likely released unconsciously.

Thinking about that, Xu Shiqiu held back his laughter, looked at Dong Shu and spoke: ”Nothing, it's just that I heard you sigh just now, and thought that you were busy.”

Just as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, a faint blush immediately appeared on his cheeks, as though he was afraid that his mother-in-law would dislike his for this matter. Dong Shu quickly explained: ”I was just feeling good after eating my fill, that's why I sighed.”

Dong Shu's voice was soft and tender, as if there was a cat scratching in Xu Shiqiu's heart.

Even the Old Madame Xu felt that this third daughter-in-law of her was lucky to hear what Dong Shu had said.

At this moment, both she and Autumn Leaf were thinking about his future. Earlier, she even mentioned the matter of dividing the family property, but she was still able to concentrate on eating dessert. This was quite rare.

She was a bit envious of such good fortune.

However, Old Madame Xu could also see that Dong Shu was a little afraid of her, and thought that she had already asked Xu Shiqiu about his attitude, so she smiled at him, and then looked at Xu Shiqiu and said: ”Mother understands what you're thinking, you should bring Madame Dong back to rest first. Your big brother is going back to the capital the day after tomorrow to prepare for the wedding. I'll settle the matters of the branch family tomorrow and officially split the family the day after tomorrow. ”

Just as Old Madame Xu finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu wanted to speak, but Old Madame Xu felt that she had already guessed what Xu Shiqiu would say, and immediately continued to speak, stopping Xu Shiqiu from speaking.

”Mother has already decided, don't try to dissuade Mother. I was really worried for your second brother's Second Sister-in-law, so I had to do this. ”

Xu Shiqiu never thought that his mother would misunderstand him. It wasn't that he wanted to advise his mother not to split the assets like that, but he could tell that his mother was truly angry this time.

Looking at his mother and thinking about it, he finally opened his mouth and said, ”Mother, in truth, I want to advise you not to be too angry. In the future, if you want to live with me and Madame Dong, then let second brother Second Sister-in-law do it herself.

As for your eldest brother's family, they can also understand their intentions. As long as you don't allow this eldest sister-in-law to serve you and let her continue to live happily, they will have no objections. ”

Xu Shiqiu spoke from the bottom of his heart. Towards his second brother Second Sister-in-law, if he was not familiar with his first niece before, he might not be so angry.

However, his arrogant niece started to meet him every day. Furthermore, Young Girl and eldest niece had a good relationship, so he did not like his second brother, Second Sister-in-law at all.

As for his big brother's family.

Xu Shiqiu understood his sister-in-law's thoughts. If his mother were to speak, she, as her first wife, would definitely have to serve her mother-in-law.

However, as long as her mother did not live with them and let her elder sister-in-law continue to be in charge, she would not have many opinions.

As for the matter regarding their Xu Family division.

His father was an orphan with no clan or clan within the Xu Family.

His mother was currently the only elder in the Xu Family.

Not to mention, as long as his big brother had no objections, then it was useless for second brother to object since he was only the second son.

Old Madame Xu really did not think that Xu Shiqiu was actually worried about him, not feeling that he was the one deciding on this matter with the branch families.

She looked at Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu, and really did not know what to say, but in the end she could only laugh helplessly, and watched them leave.

Moreover, she really only used a day and a half to divide up Xu Shiqiu's father's family property. According to the agreement, she made a list and gave it to Xu Mingyuan, Xu Shiqiu and Xu Yanzhu.

Old Madame Xu sat on the chair at the head of the table, looking extremely tired. Seeing that Madame Jiang had been pushing him around, she immediately looked towards Xu Yanlang and Xu Yanwei and said: ”I want to divide the treasures between you two as well. You guys take a look at the list first, and when you are married, I will pass these things to you.

As for what happens after you get married and get your hands on this property, I don't care.

Even if I were to meet your grandfather in the future, I would be able to say that I have no qualms about showing respect to his grandchildren. ” With that, Old Madame Xu took out two sheets of paper and gave it to the servant to gift to Xu Yanlang and Xu Yanwei.

The meaning behind Old Madame Xu's words were clear. She had not mentioned Xu Xiaozhi at all, but he had still considered the two grandson of Xu Family, Xu Yanlang and Xu Yanwei.

After Xu Yanlang and Xu Yanwei got their hands on the list, they returned to Xu Xiaozhi and Madame Jiang's side.

Old Madame Xu sat on the seat of honor. Seeing Xu Yanlang and Xu Yanwei return and pass the list to Xu Xiaozhi and Madame Jiang, she also pretended not to see anything. Instead, she looked towards Xu Mingyuan and Madame Ye.

Old Madame Xu was clear about this matter of the branch family. As long as the main house had no objections, this matter would be settled.
