Chapter 46: The Back of the Mo Clan
"Dad, take care of your body and don't get too angry. " Chu Lishou was still a filial son after all, even at this time, he didn't forget to remind his parents to pay attention to their health.
Old Master Chu weakly waved his hand, and at this time, Gui Hua had already brought a cup of tea to Chu Zheng Hai's side, sweetly saying: "Grandfather, drink some tea!"
For the sake of Osmanthus' sensible appearance, Master Chu slightly curled up the corners of his mouth, curling out a smile that looked somewhat amiable. "Since you all want to divide the family property, I, this old fellow, can't say anything about it. However, I do have one request: let's wait until my birthday has passed before we divide the property."
"Old Three, Old Four, and Third Sister-in-law, Fourth Sister-in-law, take a look at this arrangement. If it doesn't work, I'll think of another way!"
Old Master Chu's words have reached this point, who can still say half a word?
And so, the first "Family Division Battle Meeting" of the Chu family came to an end with Old Man Chu's closing remarks.
The outcome of this battle can't be said to be a victory for either side.
The family still hasn't split up, although Old Master Chu did say that they would divide after his birthday. But those were just words, and whether or not it can actually be done will have to wait until the time comes.
Then there is Xu's place.
Chu Liwan is still unmarried, and her precious grandson Chu Yanyi is about to take the imperial examination and get engaged, which will require a lot of money both inside and outside.
If they really split up at this time, who can she expect to give her the silver in the future?
Even if there were many people in the Chu family, they were all women and children. As for Chu Yi Nian, who was a bit older, he worked at school and rarely spoke during meals at home. Every month, he could bring back dozens of coins to support his family.
With such good labor force, would Xu Shi easily let go?
These things are all thought of by Guihua, but she is powerless, at least for now.
In this battle, Chu Lixi's family was probably the most miserable!
For no reason, a fight broke out, and Chu Lishi's face was even more bruised by Lu Shi, with several bloodstains. It's estimated that for the next ten days or so, it's best not to go out and see people. Even now, the neighbors on both sides have already learned about the fight that just happened at the Chu family.
Compared to Chu Lixian, the injury on Chu Ligou's body was not serious. Lu Shi's hand had indeed struck Chu Ligou's face, but since there were two people in between, it only left two white marks that could be wiped away with a damp towel and would disappear soon.
But Mo's situation is not very good.
Old Master Qi had finished speaking and everyone returned to their own homes.
Although it's not a long way from the main house to her own house, Gui Hua could clearly feel that Mo Shi was walking with great difficulty, as if she was trying hard to endure something.
Finally arrived at their own home, Plum Blossom hastily called Osmanthus to boil some hot water.
Osmanthus guessed that Mo's family must have something to do, and didn't dare to delay any longer. She hurried back to fetch some hot water, while Chu Yande also followed behind her to help pass firewood.
Chu Lishou first sent Chu Lishi back to the house and then went to see Chu Lixin, finding nothing serious before returning to his own room.
He had thought he would just come back and greet the child and the woman, then go to work in the fields. But as soon as he entered the house, he saw Mo Shi lying on the kang, while Mei Hua was slowly pushing up Mo Shi's clothes, revealing her back.
