Chapter 169: Decay often starts from the innermost part 8
Failure often starts from the inside (8)
Wan Qing snorted secretly, she was obviously here to force her father to hand over the gold lock piece, but now, she actually did it with such an understatement...
"We are all old, and we want to find a quieter place to enjoy our old age... It was nothing big when we arrived, but Tong Cai is a filial man and wants to serve us... Now, these three brothers are older, and I am old again
, I really can’t control it anymore, each of them feels that they have their own abilities and they don’t agree with each other.”
"So, I think it's better to let them divide their families like this. At that time, each of them will get some family property. What will happen in the future depends on their own abilities, so as to avoid them all saying that I am partial to others... I invite some uncles to come today.
I just asked a few uncles to bear witness so that they would not cry out about injustice in the future."
The uncles really didn't expect that Old Mrs. Xiao invited them here for the purpose of dividing the family. Especially when they thought of what he said before that the Xiao family is now managed by Xiao Tongcai. This...even if the juniors don't know, they do.
You know, that Xiao Tongcai was born from a concubine, and his legitimate eldest son, Li, is still alive, so he must not be allowed to take power.
However, what can they say at this time? Mrs. Xiao invited them here to give them face. In fact, among the entire Xiao family, only one branch of the Xiao family is the only one, and the other branches have long since declined.
No, it’s because they have never been in their prime. If they hadn’t married Xiao Tongwen’s mother, this branch would never be where it is today.
They have no room to interfere in such matters.
Therefore, they could only look at each other, and finally, their eyes fell on Xiao Tongwen.
"Tongwen, do you have any opinions?" It was the second uncle who asked.
"Back to my second uncle, Tongwen only wants the Xiao family's house. As for the rest, my father has the final say." Although the Xiao family's house is surnamed Xiao, it is his mother's dowry. Her mother was the only daughter in the family, and she married the old man.
After that, everything about his mother came with him. He didn't care about other shops and the like, but this house was the place where his mother was born and grew up. He would never give in.
The second uncle turned his attention back to the old man. As for Xiao Tongcai, he never glanced at him from beginning to end.
