Chapter 170: Decay often starts from the innermost part nine
Decline often starts from the inside (9)
No matter how hard they try, Xiao Tongwen is the only one they will admit, because he is the legitimate eldest son of the Xiao family.
"How do you plan to divide this house?"
"All the shops belong to Tongwu, and all the land and manors, including this house, belong to the two brothers Tongwen and Tongwu." The old man said softly.
Not just Wan Qing, everyone raised their eyebrows fiercely and looked at him in surprise. If this is not called partiality, everyone in the world is the most fair and selfless person.
Even Xiao Tongcai, his wife and the old lady looked surprised. Presumably, they did not expect to get so many benefits.
"Is this..." The second uncle frowned.
"I agree."
As soon as Xiao Tongwen said these words, everyone looked at him.
"My uncles, as long as this house is left to Tongwen, Tongwen doesn't care about the rest. My second brother also thinks the same as me. As the ancients said, a good man will not live in separate families, and a good woman will not wear wedding clothes.
It doesn’t matter how much you get, what’s important is that people must have real abilities and be able to support a family with their own abilities...”
Xiao Tongwen's remark won high praise from several uncles.
"It's just that this is really a bit difficult for you..."
"It doesn't matter, uncle, my father also left some land for us."
Wan Qing looked at the exchange between Xiao Tongwen and her uncle, and felt that she was looking at the old man, but she saw that he was also looking at Tongwen, something flashed in his eyes, but he said nothing.
It was only when Xiao Tongwen and his uncle finally reached an agreement and decided to respect other people's opinions that they snorted and said, "That's it. While the uncles are here, you two brothers will go to the Yamen to handle all the documents that need to be done.
Then he turned to Xiao Tongcai, "I guess you have already found the house you like. You can move there before the New Year!"
At this time, even Xiao Tongwen was a little surprised. He knew that the division of the family was finalized today, and he knew that he would not be able to share anything in the Xiao family's property except this house. However, he really did not expect that the old man would be so eager to leave.
"Father, do you need to be in such a hurry?" Xiao Tongwen was confused.
Wan Qing suddenly remembered that one day she heard her father say to her mother, "Soon, soon, no one here will dare to bully my mother anymore. Believe me, soon, soon..."
