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.

Xu Mingyuan and Madame Ye immediately understood Old Madame Xu's meaning when they received the list. On their list, there were no high quality mansions, only two medium quality ones. The other four were all low quality mansions.

Xu Mingyuan and the Madame Ye more or less knew about the assets that the Xu Family had. After seeing the distribution, they knew that the Old Madame Xu had given the good things to the third house.

They also understood that these two middle grade villas were most likely given to Xu Yanqing and Xu Yanhao. As for the four lower grade villas, they were most likely given to Xu Yanbo and Xu Yanmo.

After all, Old Madame Xu had told them the day before yesterday that regardless of whether Xu Shiqiu chose to go to the capital or to stay in the Xiahe Village, she would live with the Third Branch.

Madame Ye had four upper-class villas. She had thought that Old Madame Xu would have to give at least one of them to the big house so that she could give Xu Yanmo some more to marry.

But now that she saw the list, she could only ask someone else to buy a high-quality manor for her to marry Xu Yanmo after she returned to the capital.

As for the other shops on the list and the rewards bestowed by His Majesty, Madame Ye also glanced at them and estimated that half of the assets that the main house received were good items, such as the manor and the shop, and the other half were things bestowed by His Majesty.

Xu Ming Yuan had been waiting for Madame Ye to give him a hint. Originally, he had waited such a long time and thought she was unsatisfied.

Just as he was about to speak, the Madame Ye tugged on his sleeves and nodded to him.

After receiving the Madame Ye's hint, Xu Mingyuan also heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the Madame Ye's dissatisfaction with the share of the family property would affect their plans for the future of the mansion.

With Madame Ye's hint, Xu Mingyuan looked at Old Madame Xu and said: "Mother, we've finished reading. There's no doubt."

Just as Xu Ming Yuan finished speaking, Madame Jiang, who was not far from them, suddenly looked at him angrily: "Mother, you are too biased, the things that you gave to us, the Second Branch, are actually all items bestowed by His Majesty. Since we are unable to collect food nor sell it, how do you expect our second house to survive? "

It could be seen that she really did not expect the Old Madame Xu to be so ruthless. The reward that she gave her, His Majesty, as well as the items that she could not sell took up seventy percent of the total, and only thirty percent was a manor and a shop that could be sold.

Madame Jiang's voice was very loud, when she opened her mouth, the entire hall instantly quietened down.

But Old Madame Xu did not seem to hear her, and looked straight at Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu.

Dong Shu couldn't recognize all the words on the list, so she naturally wouldn't speak up. She also knew that her mother-in-law would not treat them unfairly.

Moreover, even if there was an issue, there would still be a husband.

Xu Shiqiu also understood that the Young Girl would not speak up at this time, so when he felt his mother's gaze on him, he immediately raised his head and nodded, "Our three concubines have no objections as well." After saying that, Xu Shiqiu turned to look at Dong Shu, and revealed a slight smile.

Seeing her master's smile, Dong Shu immediately smiled bashfully, thinking of what her husband had said to him last night.

"My wife, we will have a lot of silver when the branch family resides." At that time, if you want to give birth to a few children, your husband will be able to raise them. '

Old Madame Xu sat on the seat and looked at Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu laughing, and understood that they were extremely satisfied with the things they were given.

Since that was the case, she looked towards Xu Yanzhu in the end.

Although Xu Yanzhu did not receive much family property, there was a good villa with three courtyards and two low class small villas. Other than the two that the Old Madame Xu had promised her at the beginning, there were two more small stores.

Although it did not look like it was much, but Xu Yanzhu had been at Old Madame Xu's side for many years, so she naturally understood that although the two small shops were small, the location was good, and there were plenty of monthly rent for them.

The most valuable thing was still the manor which he had brought along with it. It happened to be located at the outskirts of the capital, very close to the manor which his grandfather had bought for the Third Uncle back then.

Xu Yanzhu understood that her grandmother's arrangement was out of concern for him. She thought that even if there was anything in the future, she could still stay in the villa and rely on Third Uncle and Third Aunt.

Therefore, when she saw her grandmother looking at her, she naturally did not have any objections and immediately smiled.

Seeing that Xu Yanzhu did not have any objections, the Old Madame Xu finally opened his mouth and said: "Since you all have no objections, then we'll split it according to this. You can keep one copy of this list, but I have one copy here.

I will arrange for the servants to send the land deeds and house deeds to each of you. As for the other things, they are in the Xiahe Village, they are directly sent by the servants, and most of them are in the capital city's residence.

We will distribute those items to you when we return to the capital next year.

"The capital's mansion is mine, but all of you can go live there. But after I go, I'll need to return His Majesty's estate."

As the Old Madame Xu's voice fell, Xu Mingyuan, Xu Shiqiu and Xu Yanzhu all nodded at the same time.

Seeing them nod their heads, Old Madame Xu then looked towards the servant woman beside her, telling her to arrange for a servant to bring the things to the big house first.

Hearing Old Madame Xu's instructions, Xu Ming Yuan immediately brought Madame Ye and her children to get up, and said to Old Madame Xu: "Then we will go back to pack our things first. Mother, you've been tired these past few days. We'll come back and eat with Mother at night. "

The main house was returning to the capital tomorrow, which was why Xu Mingyuan had said he would accompany Old Madame Xu to eat dinner tonight.

The Old Madame Xu was very satisfied with this arrangement. After nodding to him, she got ready to go back and rest.

Seeing the Old Madame Xu leave, Xu Shiqiu was also prepared to take Dong Shu back first.

However, before he left, Xu Shiqiu casually gave the list in his hands to Dong Shu, and then walked towards Xu Yanzhu, obviously because he had something to say.

Dong Shu understood what Xu Shiqiu wanted to do the moment she saw him stand up. Taking the bill she gave his, she also followed behind Xu Shiqiu and walked towards Xu Yanzhu.

And right at this moment, Madame Jiang, who was directly ignored by the Old Madame Xu, suddenly extended her hand out towards Dong Shu, wanting to grab her arm.

The unforeseen event happened at this moment.
