No one paid any attention to Su Honghan's thoughts; it seemed to have become a habit.
But Su Hongshuo wanted to give Su Honghan a chance to make the decision.
If Su Honghan wants to divide the property, it can be done immediately.
If Su Honghan didn't want to break up, he would ignore Su Lingwei.
However, after hesitating for a moment, Su Honghan still made the decision to separate the family.
It's easy to separate, but difficult to rejoin.
Su Lingwei looked at the newly issued family division documents and smiled broadly, clearly overjoyed.
Seeing this, Su Hongshuo shook his head inwardly.
Although Su Lingwei has some business talent, she would not have been able to have such smooth sailing without his secret help.
After today, the second branch of the Su family will have no further connection with him, so he will no longer secretly help them. When they regret it in the future, he will not be soft-hearted at all!
They chose their own path. He gave them a chance, but since they made the wrong choice, they can't blame anyone else!
After the second branch of the family left, Su Hongshuo looked around at the other people in the hall.
He called out loudly, "Anyone else want to split up the family?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Although they have ambitions, they also know their limits.
In the current situation, it wouldn't be difficult to simply take the money and live a life of luxury without worrying about food or drink.
However, if you want to expand your business, it's as difficult as climbing to the sky.
There are many small merchants in Jinzhou City, but they are not even worth the attention of the big merchants.
But the Su family is different. Once the Su family splits up, those big merchants will be afraid that the Su family will rise again, so they will do their best to suppress them. At that time, they may not even be able to live a life where they have enough to eat and drink.
Only then did they realize how good their lives were.
Although the Su family is not as powerful as before, it is still one of the four major Shanxi merchants. As members of the Su family, they don't need to do anything; they can simply give their identities and get many benefits in many matters.
They were too ungrateful before, too greedy and arrogant.
They couldn't even see through the Wei family's ambitions, so how could they be good family heads and stabilize the entire Su family?
Su Hongshuo returned to the main seat, looked at the faces in front of him, and finally softened.
Although he longed to relinquish his responsibilities and enjoy a peaceful retirement, the Su family had been in Jinzhou for nearly a century, and if possible, he didn't want the Su family to decline under his leadership.
"Since no one wants to split up the family anymore, let's discuss some serious matters."
Su Xing recounted what had happened in Fukang County, but his account of the current situation was incomplete.
Su Hongshuo then added, "Now the Wei family has completely disappeared from Jinzhou, but their business is still going strong. Our Su family disdains taking advantage of others' misfortunes, so we don't touch the Wei family's business, but we are grateful for it."
This time, we were very fortunate to have the help of the young people in Jinzhou City; otherwise, the matter in Fukang County would not have been resolved so smoothly.
Solving the problem in Fukang County was a favor to my Su family.
As a token of our gratitude, the Su family naturally wants to express our thanks.
Su Hongquan said, "Does the patriarch mean that we should help those people divide up the Wei family's assets?"
Su Hongshuo nodded, "Not bad."
"Give it all to others? We won't keep a single thing?" Su Hongjue said with deep reluctance.
With such a large piece of fatty meat right in front of you, not only can you not eat it, but you also have to give it all away to others. Anyone would feel a little unbalanced in that situation.
But Su Hongshuo said, "Yes, we won't keep any. We'll give it all to others. But remember one thing: all of this must be given by our Su family."
The people present are all elderly. Even if they don't have much talent, they have been immersed in the business world for so many years, and they still understand the ins and outs.
So after only a moment of contemplation, he understood the meaning behind Su Hongshuo's words.
The Wei family's business is to be handled by the Su family before being distributed to other people. As for who gets more and who gets less, it depends on which family is closer to the Su family and which family offers more benefits.
Instead of directly taking a piece of flesh from the Wei family, they could use this piece of fat flesh from the Wei family to exchange for benefits from other families.
This way, you can profit while avoiding trouble.
After all, the Su family was already involved in the Fukang County incident. Although they were the victims, if they took advantage of the situation, it would seem like they were doing it intentionally in the eyes of outsiders.
Of course, doing as Su Hongshuo suggested could also win people's hearts.
This can truly be described as killing three birds with one stone.
"As expected of the patriarch! I was arrogant before!"
Su Hongquan stood up again and bowed to Su Hongshuo. At this moment, he was truly convinced of Su Hongshuo's abilities.
The head of the Su family is none other than Su Hongshuo!
It was only at this moment that the others realized the gap between themselves and Su Hongshuo.
Unexpectedly, Su Hongshuo said, "This was not my idea; it was all said in a letter by that girl Xi'er."
"Princess Yong'an? How is that possible?!"
Seeing that someone was questioning him, Su Hongshuo took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Su Xing, who was standing next to him.
"This is a letter sent by Xi'er. Since your uncles and elders don't believe it, you can take it and let them see it."
As he spoke, Su Hongshuo's words were filled with pride.
Meanwhile, in Ganzhou city.
For the past three days, Ye Zeyu has been the one dealing with officials of all ranks in Ganzhou City, searching for the Heavenly Immortal Sect's stronghold.
Zheng Yi, who came with him, was living a carefree and leisurely life.
Although Ganzhou is located in a remote area, its pleasure quarters are no less than those in the capital.
For the past two days, Zheng Yi has been spending every night in brothels, and the people of Ganzhou City all know about the philandering and womanizing son of the Minister of Justice in the capital.
As dusk settled, Zheng Yi, led by Ye Chengping, went to another brothel.
Zheng Yi stepped off the carriage and unfolded his folding fan with a "whoosh," displaying a rather dashing air.
"Dream Pavilion!"
Zheng Yi looked up at the plaque above him, read it aloud, and then said to Ye Chengping, "Prince Jing, this Qimeng Pavilion looks much more luxurious than the two places you took me to the other day. Why did you only think of bringing me here today? Are you perhaps reluctant to spend the money?"
Ye Chengping laughed and said, "Young Master Zheng is joking. The reason I didn't bring you here the other day was because Meng'er, the most beautiful courtesan of Qimeng Pavilion, was ill. Now that I heard she's recovered and can come out to entertain guests, I immediately brought you here."
"I know that Young Master Zheng has high standards and won't be interested in just any ordinary woman. So, if the most beautiful courtesan isn't here, there's no need for him to come, is there?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Yi quickly smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "I misunderstood Your Highness just now, please don't take offense. Your Highness has been so hospitable; when you come to the capital in the future, you must give me a chance to properly entertain Your Highness!"
Ye Chengping smiled and nodded, gesturing for Zheng Yi to go in.
I will definitely go to the capital.
However, today is your death day, and you will not have the chance to entertain me in the future!
