Chapter 528 I Want a Divide Too

Zhao Yue rolled her eyes at her: "Nonsense."

She has lived here for more than 20 years, how could she not know where this is?

Jiang Shangxian casually looked around, but didn't see any obvious figures. Then he said, "Then let's climb over the wall!"

Zhao Yue looked at her as if she was an idiot, and then without saying a word, he pulled her away, his steps fast and heavy.

"Mother, mother, how do you say this?"

Jiang Shangxian was short, and he had to shuffle his legs as fast as he could to catch up with her. He whispered slyly, "Don't worry, mother. I've checked. Everyone is in the front yard. There shouldn't be anyone back there!"

She knew that Cui Quan must have guards with high martial arts skills, so she went around to the back to see the situation. If there was someone guarding him, it would be fine, but isn't there one?

Zhao Yue gave her a caring look, stopped, bent down, picked up a small stone, and threw it towards the courtyard wall.

Jiang Shangxian widened his eyes in confusion - it's over, he's going to be discovered.

Unexpectedly, the imagined sound of the stone falling to the ground did not happen. Suddenly, a strong man jumped onto the top of the wall silently, looked at them with sharp eyes, and held the small stone in his hand.

After seeing that it was Zhao Yue, he saluted with an indifferent expression, turned around and landed lightly.

And that little stone has turned to ash...

Zhao Yue tapped her forehead in annoyance and said, "See? There are at least twenty of them. Can you beat them all?"

Anyway, at her age, she can't fight twenty people at once without making any noise.

Jiang Shangxian shook his head silently: I can’t win.

That's it, if one person beats her, there will still be ten people to find.

Inside the main house

Cui Shuhua, who should have been cleared out, sat calmly on the chair, her sharp eyes swept over her grandfather, elder brother, second brother, and nephew one by one, making people feel creepy.

Cui Zhou really hoped that her father would just shout and kick her out, but unfortunately Cui Quan kept his head down, avoiding his daughter's gaze, and the words he said lacked momentum: "I have something important to discuss with your two brothers. You should go back first."

Cui Shuhua naturally didn't buy it. She averted her gaze, firmly glued to the chair, and confidently stated the necessity of her participation: "Aren't we going to divide the family business? I want a share, too."

Although she is a woman, according to the customs of the Tang Dynasty, she can also share the family property. Why not give her a share when the family is divided?

Do you really think that these noble ladies can live a decent life by just living on wind and dew?

How can you be decent without money?

The higher the quality of life, the more money it costs!

Cui Zhou was a little annoyed, but he suppressed his anger and said to his sister: "We had already separated when you got married."

Even if we split up the family now, it has nothing to do with you!

Cui Shuhua ignored him and just stared at Cui Quan: "Father, you carefully selected a short-lived child for me. I have never complained in all these years, but now you say I don't deserve a share. Father, do you also think I don't deserve it?"

Not to mention that her life was wasted in this way, just to say that over the years, because of her status as a widow, the Fanyang Lu family had much closer interactions with the Cui family than with the other families.

She wouldn't believe a word that Cui didn't benefit from this.

Cui Quan was almost mad at his son. How could he give birth to such a fool?

He seemed quite steady when he was young, but now that he's older, his brain seems to have shrunk.

"When did I say we wanted to split up?"

He glared at Cui Zhou, who had been easily fooled by his sister. His expression softened as he turned to his daughter. "A dowry is a dowry. It was given to you when you got married, so it's yours. As for this family...your share has always been reserved for you. Your eldest brother is confused, so don't bother with him. Go back first."

Although it won’t be too much, it is prepared after all.

With only one legitimate daughter, no children, and a bad temper, I'm afraid she'll be old...

Well, he had to think more about her no matter what.

Cui Shuhua guessed that her father would leave something for her, so she was not surprised to hear the accurate answer at this time, but she still did not leave. Instead, she glanced at Cui Bianxu.

This is half of her pension insurance.

As a daughter of the Cui family, she has understood one thing since she was a child - once a person places a bet, he or she must remain firm in his or her steps until the last moment.

Cui Bianxu gave her a grateful look.

Just now, when everyone was here, he directly said that he wanted to divide the family. He wanted to expose this matter and force my grandfather to divide the family.

He guessed that Cui Quan might clear everyone out, so he sent a letter to Cui Shuhua in advance, asking her to stay until the end of the day.

His aunt never disappointed him.

However, his aunt had already taken enough risks for him and Jiang Shangxian, and now it was his turn.

Thinking that this might take a long time, Cui Bian quickly found a seat for himself and drank a cup of tea without paying attention to the people around him before saying, "Grandfather, you should know why your grandson wants to divide the family property."

Cui Quan looked at his grandson coldly. He had been a thorn since he was young. He was not at all like the elegant and refined people of the Cui family. He looked like a wild man from a barbaric land.

"From the first day my grandson returned home, Grandfather has been constantly talking to him about Cui Wei's health."

Cui Bianxu's eyes scanned Cui Wei inquiringly, without a trace of restraint. Cui Wei felt uncomfortable, and then he chuckled softly, "Grandfather and uncle have been planning this for over twenty years. How come they can't hold it back anymore?"

His tone was vague: "Could it be that Cui Wei is dying?"

The three words "dying" were like opening a Pandora's box.

Even Cui Zhou, who was about to reprimand him for calling his elder brother by his first name, was choked by these words and felt his legs tighten and his back tremble.

Cui Quan was still able to remain calm, but Cui Wei couldn't stand hearing this and began to tremble all over: "You, you!"

People who are chronically ill hate it most when others mention their physical condition.

Cui Zhe said dryly: "Anger is harmful to your health..."

Then he silently retracted his neck. He had heard his son say this once in private, but it still sounded horrifying when he heard it again.

But looking at my nephew's reaction, could it be that what this brat said was right?

Are you really going to die soon?

On the contrary, Cui Shuhua stared at Cui Wei with a frown: "Didn't you say that he has recovered much better than before?"

Why are you dying soon?

She looked at Cui Quan sharply: "Twenty years of planning? What have you done?"

Cui Bianxu was not even born more than twenty years ago. What were they planning that could be related to him?

No matter how clever she was, she couldn't figure it out for a while. Unfortunately, Cui Quan ignored her this time and smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground: "How dare you curse your brother!"
