Cui Anhua really had no choice but to look at Liu Shichu. Liu Shichu sneered, so he would not go out to convince Cui's mother. He was the one who was in a hurry to divorce, and she would no longer be part of the Cui family soon, so why should he do it for him? Rescue?
Cui Anhua had no choice but to say: "Mom, I have not let down Mrs. Liu. This is what we have agreed upon."
Then he said with finality: "It's settled, Mrs. Liu and I must reconcile. You just need to know about it."
His concubines, concubines and concubines were all confused and didn't know what to say. How could he persuade them not to reconcile? However, the interests of concubines, concubines, and wives are naturally antagonistic. If Liu Shichu wants to reconcile with Cui Anhua, they will only rejoice in his misfortune, so it is impossible to persuade him.
But if they agree to reconcile, what if after Liu Shichu leaves, Cui Anhua's new stepwife is worse than Liu Shichu? At least Liu Shichu would not treat them harshly on purpose, and it was not certain that he would marry again. Therefore, the concubines and concubines were very uneasy. They all looked at each other for a while, not knowing how to deal with this situation.
However, Liu Shichu didn't have to deal with them at all, and said directly to Cui Anhua: "Before we write and leave the book, let's separate our families first. You won't regret it, right? If you regret it, I will regret it too."
Cui Anhua really wanted to regret it, but after hearing what she said, he had no choice but to suppress the thoughts in his heart and asked: "Then how do you want to divide it?"
Liu Shichu turned to the group of concubines and concubines, and said frankly: "Cui Anhua and I want to reconcile. He will marry a new wife soon. In order to protect my son's vital interests, I ask him to divorce now." The family property is divided, so as not to fight for it later. Are you willing to share it together, or not?"
When the concubines and concubines heard this, they immediately became excited. This was related to their interests, and they couldn't calm down immediately.
Aunt Zhou asked hurriedly: "How to divide it?"
Liu Shichu said: "Just divide it according to the normal family. The legitimate sons and daughters will get 60%, and the other concubines will get 40%. Of course, the dowry of the concubines must be reserved first. But because the elders are still there, a certain amount must be reserved. Share to them.
In addition, I think that in the past twenty years in the Cui family, I have done my job as a matron conscientiously, serving my mother-in-law, raising children, and running the family business, with no merit or demerit. Under such circumstances, Cui Anhua insisted on marrying me and I am divorced, so I ask for compensation to compensate for the time and energy I have put in over the past twenty years. "
"How is this possible?" Aunt Chen blurted out when she heard Liu Shichu wanted to compensate, "Since you have become the mistress of the Cui family, isn't it right for you to do those things? Why do you need to compensate?"
Liu Shichu glanced at her coldly and said, "It is indeed the right thing for the Cui family's mistress to do these things, but I will soon be no longer. Then I will naturally ask him to compensate me for the twenty years I have spent in vain."
Then she stared at Cui Anhua and said, "Don't you think I should ask for compensation?"
Liu Shichu stared at him closely, implying a threat. As soon as he denied it, she would immediately break up and drag him to death so that he could not marry his old love back.
Cui Anhua understood the meaning in her eyes and nodded quickly: "No, no, you are right. You should be compensated. I have no objection."
The man of the house had spoken like this, and even if the concubines and concubines had any objections, they did not dare to mention them again.
"Then I ask for 20% of the Cui family's property as compensation. I have been in charge of the Cui family's property for the past twenty years, and the family property has doubled during this period. My request for 20% is not too much, right? Liu Shichu looked at Cui Anhua and said.
Cui Anhua knew nothing about his family's business, so naturally he believed whatever Liu Shichu said: "It's not excessive."
"Okay, now, I will divide the Cui family property into fourteen equal shares, two of which are my compensation, two for mother and Cui Anhua's daily needs, six for the legitimate son Cui Ying, and one for the eldest son. Cui Wu, one share will be given to the third concubine Cui Yun, one share will be given to the fourth concubine Cui Le, and the remaining share will be left to the concubine as a dowry. That's it, what do you think?" Liu Shichu said about his arrangement. , ask others.
Cui Anhua immediately said dissatisfied: "How come Cui Ying has six shares, but my mother and I only have two of them? Isn't this too little? It's not fair!"
Liu Shichu said: "Cui Ying is the direct son and grandson of the Cui family. He is the one who will pass on your Cui family. From now on, he will be the direct branch of the Cui family. Why can't he have six shares? I even think The share is too small. It’s a big taboo in the family to distinguish between concubine and concubine. Cui Anhua, you can’t be so confused and want to pamper the concubine and destroy the concubine, right?”
Cui Anhua was choked by her words and became speechless. She said so, how could he argue? If he continues to argue, wouldn't it prove that he really wants to bring trouble to the family, regardless of whether he is a descendant or a descendant?
So he had to shut up.
When Liu Shichu saw that he didn't speak anymore, he was satisfied. The family patriarchal system in this era has one advantage, that is, it can guarantee the status of direct descendants. Therefore, even if Cui Anhua dislikes Cui Ying, he cannot blatantly oppose the division established by the ancestors' rules. family system.
The other concubines were not convinced, and Aunt Zhou said tentatively: "Mom and the master only have two shares. It is indeed a bit small, right?"
Liu Shichu glanced at her sideways: "How about giving your son's share to them? Consider it your son's filial piety to them."
When Aunt Zhou heard this, her face immediately turned red, and she couldn't care less. She hurriedly shook her head and said: "No, no... Madam, you are joking. My son has no ability. If he loses even a share of the family business, let him drink the northwest wind." Is it? He will starve to death..."
Liu Shichu sneered, and seeing that no one raised any objections, he said to Cui Anhua: "Since everyone agrees, let's divide the family according to this method. After you signed the deed of separation, you can write the divorce agreement Sign it for me."
After speaking, Liu Shichu handed him the deed of separation of the family, which was in triplicate. One was given to the clan leader for safekeeping, one was kept by Cui Ying, and the other was kept by Liu Shichu for himself just in case. .
Cui Anhua took the deed, glanced at it, and signed it one by one when he saw that it was all what Liu Shichu said.
Liu Shichu also readily signed the letter of separation. From then on, she was no longer a member of the Cui family.
Cui Ying looked at her worriedly, and Liu Shichu waved his hands indifferently and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Just live a good life with your wife and children from now on, and leave your father's affairs alone."
"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing." Liu Shichu suddenly remembered something and said to Cui Anhua, "Since the families are separated, let's separate them thoroughly. From now on, Cui Ying will start another stove and take care of his own yard. Regarding the matter, the courtyard where he currently lives in the east and my main courtyard will be given to him, do you have any objection?"
Cui Anhua was overjoyed that he had successfully reconciled with Li. Naturally, this little thing didn't matter, so he replied: "No objection, he will start another company in the future. Of course, Cui Wu and Cui Yun will also start their own companies!"
Of course he would be happy to live a sweet world with Jiang Wenyue from now on, with no one else being an eyesore in front of him, and the farther away from his son, concubine, etc., the better.
