Chapter 1263 Request
Zhao Mu is rich, but it's his. He is selfish and the clan can get very few benefits from him. How can he compare to Zhao Shu's generosity!
This is tens of thousands of taels. If they divide it among several people, each person can get one or two thousand. In addition, there are two valuable treasures and antiques that can be taken home for emergencies. If they manage the business well, the family can live a very good life for decades.
Zhao Shu returned happily with a full load.
That evening, he carefully selected one-third of the treasures and toys and brought 30,000 taels of silver to visit Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan at the inn.
"It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it, Mr. Shao and Mrs. Shao!"
Zhao Shu was so happy, as if he was afraid that Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan would refuse, he quickly added: "Shao Lord and Madam Shao, you must accept it. This is all for free, it would be a waste if you don't take it!"
Qiao Xuan couldn't help but laugh: "Mr. Zhao, you got this for free based on your own ability, so we won't get involved."
"Mrs. Shao, please don't be polite to me!" Zhao Shu has always had a good character. He laughed and refused to take the things back. "If it weren't for Mrs. Shao's idea, I don't know how many years I would have to waste with them! I'm afraid that in the end, I would be kicked out of the house with nothing, which would be the best result! How can it be so quick and easy, and I can cut off a piece of their meat before leaving! Besides, I have something I want to ask Lord Shao and Mrs. Shao for help."
Since Zhao Shu had said so much, Qiao Xuan did not refuse. She glanced at Shao Yunduan and saw that he also nodded with a smile. Then she thanked him with a smile and accepted it. "We are partners. You don't have to be polite, Mr. Zhao."
Zhao Shu smiled bitterly: "I want my mother to divorce Zhao Mu, but I'm afraid Zhao Mu won't agree easily. But I still want to give it a try. My mother must be more willing to be buried with my grandparents, rather than having any connection with Zhao Mu."
He sighed again as he spoke: "In fact, if I could choose, I would like to leave the Zhao family, marry into the Zheng family and change my surname to Zheng, but this is simply impossible!"
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan looked at each other and understood.
It was naturally impossible for the Zhao family to let him change his surname for no reason, so he didn't even need to think about such a thing.
Moreover, even if he left the Zhao family, the Zheng family might not necessarily be willing to accept him. Even if they did, they would certainly ask for countless benefits, and they might even pester him and suck his blood endlessly in the future.
Now that he can leave Zhao Mu and be adopted, it is already the best outcome.
It seems that it is quite difficult for Zheng to get a divorce!
Zhao Shu forced himself to smile and said, "I know that my request is a bit excessive. This matter is not easy to handle. If Mr. Shao and Mrs. Shao have any good ideas, that would be great. If it really doesn't work, then forget it."
Qiao Xuan looked at him with some sympathy.
This was how it was in ancient times, there was nothing that could be done about it.
Shao Yunduan thought about it and chuckled, "It might be worth a try. Those IOUs in your hand can come in handy."
Zhao Shu was stunned.
Qiao Xuan had already figured out what Shao Yunduan meant, and smiled, "My husband is right. Those IOUs can be used! It all depends on whether Mr. Zhao is willing to pay or divorce. I think Mr. Zhao should know what he will choose, right?"
Zhao Shu was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face: "Yes! Why didn't I think of that! He naturally values his money more!"
