Xu took Qiao Xin's cloak and touched the hair on it, which was still wet. Did he travel back overnight?
She turned around and went to the kitchen, told the servants to prepare hot food, and personally brought a basin of hot water for Qiao Xin to wash her face. When she touched Qiao Xin's cold fingers, she almost cried!
Seeing her red eyes, Qiao Xin couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Did the boss make you angry?"
"How dare he! My wife was just blinded by the wind!"
Qiao Xin laughed, "A virtuous wife brings less trouble to the husband. It is a blessing for the eldest son to marry you!" Then she said to Nanny Qin, "The eldest son's wife has done a good job in planning the third son's wedding. Nanny Qin, do you think your student is qualified?"
Nanny Qin smiled and said, "Madam has done a better job than I imagined. But this is also because you, Madam, have taught me well. I am just assisting you!"
"We two old fellows should stop bragging about our own things. She should do her best!"
Zhang, who was waiting outside the door, felt very unhappy. He and his eldest sister-in-law followed Nanny Qin to learn the rules and etiquette, but his mother-in-law always only saw the progress of his eldest sister-in-law and never mentioned her as the daughter-in-law. This was really biased!
She was about to step in but her feet couldn't move!
Wang Caiwei, who was following behind, gave her an ambiguous look. She still stepped forward and asked, "Second sister-in-law, why don't you go in? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I just tripped. Do you want to go in, sister-in-law?"
"Well, my sister-in-law asked the kitchen to prepare hot food, so I brought it over! I'm afraid my mother-in-law must have traveled all night and hasn't eaten yet!"
Zhang was annoyed with herself for being so careless that she didn't even notice such a small thing, and let the person who came in later steal her limelight!
Her expression remained unchanged, she held Wang Caiwei's arm and said with a smile: "I'll go with you!"
Wang Caiwei smiled unchanged and nodded in agreement.
Seeing the two of them coming hand in hand, Qiao Xin didn't say much and finished her meal in a few bites.
When Dalang and the others entered the room, they saw their father and two uncles already sitting in the main hall. Not far away were their brothers and sisters rushing over!
When Qiao Xin heard that everyone was there, she got up and went out!
"You've all heard the commotion outside, right? You come to see me every day just to know what I think. Today I'll give you an explanation!"
Qiao Yunxin said, "Mother lives her own life, I don't care what others think!"
"I know, but this matter must be concluded. Just because you think so doesn't mean others think so too.
Boss, I heard that the old Dingbian Marquis has come to you several times, but you didn't see him? Avoiding him is not the solution to the problem. In the end, no one will say anything about you, but will only blame me, an old woman. After thinking about it, there is only one way to solve this problem!"
"What method?" Qiao Yunxin asked subconsciously!
"Separate the family!"
"What?" Qiao Yunxin's roar startled all the birds in the yard.
The bird flapped its wings and flew out, but the living room was in an uproar.
"Mother, why do we need to separate the family? Isn't it good for us to be together? How many families in the capital are as harmonious as ours?"
"Yes, mother..."
"I agree to split up!"
There was a voice of agreement mixed in with the voices of opposition, and everyone turned their eyes to the person who was speaking!
"Da Lang, what nonsense are you talking about? Stay out of my way!"
"What if I also agree to split up the family?" Qiao Erlang also stood up.
"I agree too!" Qiao Sanlang followed closely.
"I agree..."
Qiao Xin looked at her grandchildren who supported her and her son and daughter-in-law who opposed the separation, blinked her eyes and smiled!
"I'm here to inform you, not to discuss it with you all!"
"Whether you understand it or not, it doesn't matter. A big tree will branch out, and a big family will split up. It's inevitable. Let's get started!"
Qin immediately brought a tray with three brocade boxes on it!
"As you know, I won three houses from the young prince, all of which are about the same size. I have already gone to see them, and they are more than enough for you to settle down.
It's just that the layout is inevitably different. If I assign it, you will be unhappy if you are not satisfied. Now you guys can choose it yourself. Whichever you choose is the one. If you feel it is not suitable, you can negotiate privately afterwards!
As a mother, I will try my best to be fair!"
Seeing that they were not moving, Qiao Xin said to Qiao Yunxin, "Boss, you take the lead and solve the problem as soon as possible so that I can rest!"
Seeing Qiao Xin's tired face, Qiao Yunxin stood up and picked one up and handed it to Xu.
With this beginning, the following things went much more smoothly. When it came to dividing private property, Qiao Xin was even more generous. It could be said that Xu and Zhang entered the Qiao family empty-handed.
It stands to reason that all the properties they bought with their husbands during their tenure should be shared by the public. However, Qiao Xin directly gave all the properties they bought during their tenure to her daughter-in-law.
The third brother's property in Jiangcheng, the second brother's property in Yuncheng, and the eldest brother's property in Xizhou all belonged to their respective families, and Qiao Xin directly gave the food shop in Weizhou Prefecture to the Xu family.
As for the properties in the capital and Laohu Town, Qiao Xin did not say much, but simply took back Zhang's jurisdiction over the rouge and powder shop!
Zhang felt very aggrieved. The difference in treatment was too obvious.
"Mom, is it my wife who did something wrong?"
"The rouge shop in Yuncheng has been given to you. You don't need to worry about the main store in the capital anymore!"
Zhang subconsciously retorted: "But how can Yuncheng compare with the capital!"
Qiao Xin looked at her steadily, causing Zhang to lower her head!
“Have you forgotten that these are all my things and I can do whatever I want with them. What right do you have to be dissatisfied?
When I asked you to be in charge of the rouge shop, I gave you 20,000 taels of dividend every year. Don't you have an idea of how much money you have made over the years?
Sanlang, I, an old woman, have always been responsible for Sanniang's expenses, and I have never seen a penny of your money."
Qiao Yunqing pursed her lips tightly, and suddenly raised her head to look at Zhang, her eyes full of anger!
Every year he gave Zhang two thousand taels of private money and asked her to send it back as a New Year gift. For so many years... so many years... even Qiao Sanlang and Qiao Sanniang never thought that their mother would do such a stupid thing!
Zhang didn't notice her husband and children's dissatisfaction at all, and she was still explaining, "Mother, I'm thinking about buying dowries and betrothal gifts for the children. I'll send someone to return the money in the future."
"No need, you can keep it for yourself. But I warn you, if anyone dares to do anything bad with the things I give to the child, I will break his hand!"
Qiao Xin was impatient to talk to him more.
I also gave some things to my grandchildren.
