Chapter 305 - 190 Problem Solved_1
Qian Yeejin finished outlining his decision, and Qian Dagui, Qian Ergui, Qian Manchuan, and others all vehemently disagreed, stating that they couldn’t let the third branch suffer a loss. Old man Qian also disagreed and kept explaining that he had no intention of scheming against the third branch’s assets.
The noisy quarreling gave Qian Sangui a headache, and cold sweat streamed down continuously. Qian Yeejin had to raise his voice and say, "My grandfather said, if you don’t agree with his proposal, then we’ll continue with the original arrangement. My family will still hold a twenty percent share, but another twenty percent must be given to my aunt as her marriage dowry."
As soon as he said this, the room fell silent immediately. Only Qian Manhe said, "I still support the idea of the fourth branch jointly opening the Dessert House..." Before he could finish, an anxious Lady Tang fiercely punched him, so he was forced to angrily shut his mouth.
Qian Yixiu observed everyone’s varied reactions and felt that Qian Manhe was the smartest of them all, knowing what was best for his family. It was just a pity he was held back by his clueless father and unscrupulous mother.
As for the others, some were blinded by greed, some didn’t want the family assets to leak outside, and there were those who wouldn’t miss the chance to take advantage of a good deal.
Old man Qian thought it over and made a firm decision, "Well, so be it. The third branch has so many assets, a little support for our brothers doesn’t hurt. In this way, we keep the Qian family’s assets from outsiders, and Auntie Xia gets her marriage dowry." He then said to the people from the first and second branches, "Remember Sangui’s kindness and know to help your brothers. Don’t just look out for your own patch of land; only then can the Qian family’s business continue to grow."
While they were willing, Old woman Qian was not and started wailing loudly. While crying, she still managed to blurt out, "I clearly wanted to help Jinwa keep her share of the assets, but I ended up hurting her instead. With such a division, aren’t we just squandering even what we have? Oh dear, Jinwa is at a huge loss..."
She was truly heartbroken, crying with tears and snot running freely, and saliva dripping down continuously.
Qian Yeejin hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief and comforted her, "Great-grandma, as the saying goes, ’In books, there are houses of gold.’ Jinwa is striving hard and will surely earn an excellent future and great wealth for herself. Not only that, Jinwa will also secure imperial decrees for my mother, my grandmother, and Great-grandma. You must take good care of yourself and live well, waiting to enjoy Jinwa’s blessings."
Old woman Qian felt somewhat better after hearing this and murmured vaguely, "Good, good, Great-grandma will wait and enjoy the good fortune of her great-grandchildren."
