Chapter XXVIII
Xu Shiqiu didn't expect that Xu Yanzhu's embarrassment just now was because of this matter, he pondered in his heart for a while, then raised his eyes to look at her and said, "How can you have such a plan?" ”
Xu Shiqiu didn't think that his eldest niece had such an idea, it was a sudden whim.
After all, almost all of her uncle's family are in business, and even his second brother has been doing business outside the country through the connections of his second sister-in-law's family in the past six years.
If the eldest niece really wants to do business, the first thing to consider should be his father and his uncle's family, how can she think of herself?
The doubts in Xu Shiqiu's heart did not show on his face, and Xu Yanzhu was also thinking about how to answer the question of the third uncle just now, and also found that the expression on his face changed.
"Third uncle, I won't hide it from you, this time my father comes back, and I'm afraid my family affairs will be decided.
And my grandmother also gave me a shop in a coastal town and a shop in the capital in private. When my family affairs are decided, my mother is afraid that she will also give me two shops.
Four stores is not much, but I always have to learn how to manage my own store by myself. ”
Xu Yanzhu watched Xu Shiqiu finish speaking, thought about it and said directly: "But you also know that there is no loyal person under my hands now, but the third uncle is the third master of the Xu family, and you can cultivate your own subordinates."
Moreover, as far as I know, the third aunt's cousin used to be a partner in a restaurant in the town, presumably if I opened a store in partnership with the third aunt, and the third uncle stood behind us, and a few of his own henchmen, this business would still be able to continue. ”
Xu Yanzhu did not hide it from Xu Shiqiu, since she learned that her father and mother were coming back, Mrs. Xu did not hide it from Xu Yanzhu, and directly told her that her father and mother had already told her about her family affairs in the letter.
Xu Yanzhu didn't know how much dowry her mother would give her, but her grandmother said that she would give her two shops, on the surface, there was only one in the coastal town, and the one in the capital was the shop that her grandmother secretly bought without her father and mother knowing.
Since she has a store, she should cultivate her own power, but when she thinks that her father and mother are coming back, she will be controlled, so this matter can only be done through the hands of the third uncle.
Xu Shiqiu was moved after Xu Yanzhu mentioned Dong Lei, and after she mentioned that she was partnering with her little lady, Xu Shiqiu decided to agree.
As the eldest niece said, as the third son of the Xu family, although he has no official position and no money in his hand, as long as the family is divided, he can get part of the Xu family's property and part of the dowry of his mother.
The little lady of his family does not have as much dowry as the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, so she will partner with the eldest niece to do business, which can just help the lady buy some dowry.
That's a good idea.
Xu Yanzhu has been getting along with Xu Shiqiu these days, and he can be regarded as knowing his third uncle, and when he saw him showing such a look, he knew that he was moved.
"Third uncle, you don't need to worry too much about the supply of goods, although my mother prefers the two younger brothers, but after all, I am her only daughter, and if I want to borrow the Jiang family's momentum in the future, I can also borrow it."
After Xu Yanzhu finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu finally looked at her and nodded: "I agree to this matter, but I want to discuss with your grandmother first, how to do it, wait until I ask your grandmother." ”
Xu Shiqiu was indeed excited, he also had two Zhuangzi that his father secretly bought for him, but he didn't have them in the store.
However, Xu Shiqiu knew that his mother and his sister had a lot of shops in their hands, and these two women had to love him more.
Xu Yanzhu is also aware of the status of his third uncle in the Xu family, so he will move this thought, when he said this, he immediately smiled, and then bowed and turned around and walked out of Shihuan Courtyard directly.
After Xu Yanzhu left, Xu Shiqiu didn't delay much, although Dong Shu's body was inconvenient, but it was not impossible for him to take her to meet her mother secretly.
Two quarters of an hour later, Mrs. Xu was stunned for a moment when she saw her third son and third daughter-in-law who suddenly appeared in her courtyard.
She really didn't expect that her third son would come to her here.
Although excited, Mrs. Xu still stabilized her figure, first glanced at Dong Shu, whose face was getting better and better, and then looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Shiqiu, how did you come to my mother's place?" "And, look, it's still sneaky.
Although Mrs. Xu is just an ordinary old lady, after all, she has an extraordinary background, and she has been the wife of General Xu for so many years, and she has seen a lot of big formations.
So although she had doubts in her heart, she couldn't see it on her face.
Xu Shiqiu didn't let Mrs. Xu wait too much, he secretly brought Dong Shu here, and what he was afraid of was that there were diehards left by the eldest brother and second brother in the family.
It's not that he wants to calculate the eldest brother and the second brother, but after all, now that the three brothers are married, he naturally has to be on guard.
Thinking of this, Xu Shiqiu did not delay, and directly led Dong Shu into the room, first helped Dong Shu, who was not very convenient, to salute his mother, and then arranged Dong Shu to sit on the side, and then looked at Mrs. Xu and prepared to speak.
As soon as Mrs. Xu saw Xu Shiqiu's posture, she knew that he had something serious to say to herself.
didn't care about the third daughter-in-law sitting on the side, she nodded directly to the servant who had been serving her for decades, and saw her go out and guard the door, and then signaled Xu Shiqiu to speak.
"Mother, I came to you today, and I also have something I want to ask you." Xu Shiqiu never concealed his thoughts when talking to his mother, and seeing that his mother was attracted by his words, he hurriedly continued: "Now that my son is also married, my son is not as good as the eldest brother working with my sister-in-law's father, and it is not as good as the second brother to use the second sister-in-law's house to do business.
But Dong's body has been recuperated, and his son will always have to raise children in the future. So the son wants to ask, if the family is separated, how much property can the son get? ”
Although the Xu family lost their family members in that turmoil nine years ago, the industry is still there.
Although the emperor said that his family would not be allowed to be officials in the capital for ten years, the eldest brother still used the power of his sister-in-law's father to become a six-grade civil official in the city not far from the capital.
Although the civil officials of the sixth rank are not high, anyone with a discerning eye knows that as long as ten years pass, the boss of the Xu family will be promoted.
And the second brother has not liked literature or martial arts since he was a child, he and his second sister-in-law also proposed marriage by himself, and now he is following the second sister-in-law's mother's family, and the business is also booming.
Only him, he can't be a civil official, but a military general......
When Xu Shiqiu thought of this, he also sighed in his heart.
I don't know, is the saint still relieved to hand over the military power to the Xu family?
Mrs. Xu kept looking at Xu Shiqiu, and she naturally heard what Xu Shiqiu said, and she also understood the words he didn't say from the look between his eyebrows.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu also felt that her third son was pitiful.
But the matter of separation, she had thought about it a long time ago.
"When it comes to dividing the family, according to the rules, your eldest brother is the eldest son, and he could have received sixty or seventy percent of the family business. But when the family left here six years ago, they both promised me that they would divide the family property equally with your two younger brothers in the future. ”
Old Mrs. Xu's expression was ordinary, but Xu Shiqiu, who heard her words, was shocked in her heart.
He really didn't expect that the price of the eldest brother and sister-in-law leaving Xiahe Village with the whole family turned out to be the family property of the Xu family.
Although he didn't care much about these things for so many years, he also understood that his father had been fighting on the battlefield for so many years, and the Xu family's family property would definitely not be less.
Moreover, Xu Shiqiu also thought of one thing, the second brother must have paid the price when he left Xiahe Village with his second sister-in-law.
Sure enough, just as he thought of this, his mother spoke again.
"As for your second brother, hum! Since he married the Jiang family, after our Xu family had an accident again, he almost became the son of the Jiang family. When the family left, they said that they had heard that Yanzhu would stay with me.
When I really can't see Jiang's thoughts? She wished that she hadn't given birth to Yanzhu, if it weren't for your father's love of Yanzhu, she would have thrown away this eldest daughter who caused her dystocia!
But they also promised me one condition. ”
Although Mrs. Xu prefers her grandson, she also likes her granddaughter.
What's more, Xu Yanzhu almost grew up by her side, so she naturally likes it more.
Thinking that her Yanzhu had such a mother, she felt angry in her heart.
What makes her most angry is the tone and attitude of the second daughter-in-law every time she talks about the third son.
No matter how bad her son is, he is not something that a merchant girl can look down on!
"However, in order to be able to leave Xiahe Village, your second brother promised to give me two percent of the dividends earned in the past seven years. I don't want these two dividends, I will keep one percent for you, and the other will be directly given to Yanzhu as a dowry.
As for my dowry and private house, I am going to divide it into six parts, one for your eldest brother and one for your second brother's family, one for your sister when she got married, and the remaining three shares, two of which will be given to you first, and the remaining one, when I go, will also be given to you. ”
Mrs. Xu was partial, she understood that her dead ghost had already bought two excellent Zhuangzi outside the capital for her third son, but she still decided to leave half of the private house to her third son.
As for why it's not all, it is naturally to fill the mouths of the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law.
However, there are a lot of things in her private room, some things look valuable, but not real, and some things look ordinary, but they are valuable.
She had already thought about what she wanted to leave for her third son, and she had prepared something else besides these.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu got up from her chair and walked to the inner room, taking out a box out of nowhere.
"There are two Zhuangzi in Linhai County, one is in the coastal town and the other is farther away. There are also four shops that your eldest brother and second brother don't know about, all of which are in the capital.
Over the years, your sister has helped take care of it, and the income has been directly deposited with your sister. When I return to Beijing next year, your sister will hand it over to you. ”
In Mrs. Xu's heart, the most beloved person is the third son, the most distressed is the eldest granddaughter, and the most reassuring is the only daughter who has not been with her for so many years.
Xu Shiqiu will come to his mother today, naturally because he has already guessed that his mother will secretly give him some good things.
But he didn't expect that his mother would give him so much.
After all, his eldest niece has been with his mother for so many years, and he has only managed to get two shops.
Thinking of this, Xu Shiqiu hurriedly looked at his mother and said, "Mother, will you live with your son in the future?" Later, when the Dong family gives birth, you can also watch them play. ”
Xu Shiqiu's words were naturally sincere, he knew that for so many years, if it weren't for his father and sister to protect him, the eldest brother and the second brother would have been blown by the pillow wind and disliked him, the younger brother with bad luck.
Thinking of the day the Xu family had an accident nine years ago, the eldest brother and the second brother looked at his eyes, and Xu Shiqiu felt that his heart was throbbing for a while.
He didn't want to, how could he want something to happen to the Xu family, Daddy...... What about life?
