Chapter 7 The Chu Family Discussion

The Chu family's mansion is magnificent, although it cannot be compared with the Shen family, which has been rooted in Tongzhou Prefecture for hundreds of years, but in this Tongzhou Prefecture, the Chu family is an out-and-out big family.

Chu Xiu followed the second wife to the meeting room of the Chu family. At this time, the meeting room was full of people. At the top sat a tall, square-faced middle-aged man, dressed in brocade clothes, with his eyes slightly closed.

This middle-aged man is Chu Xiu's father, Chu Zongguang, the head of the Chu family.

Speaking of Chu Zongguang’s experience, it can be regarded as a legend. He brought dozens of members of the Chu family to Tongzhou Prefecture more than 20 years ago, and established himself in Tongzhou Prefecture from scratch. Now, the Chu family has become one of the three major families in Tongzhou Prefecture. One, it is even stronger than the Li family that has taken root in Tongzhou Prefecture for hundreds of years.

It's just that in Chu Xiu's memory, his father can be called extremely indifferent. He has never seen his father a few times since he was a child.

Of course, Chu Zongguang is not only indifferent to him, but also to other sons. The only one who can be better is the fourth child of the Chu family and the youngest son of Chu Zongguang, Chu Shang.

Chu Xiu didn't think so much before, but now Chu Xiu after time travel and rebirth feels that his father is a little strange.

Chu Zongguang's strength is innate. He has gone through body quenching and blood coagulation, and has reached the state where the body's qi, blood, muscles and bones are integrated without impurities, just like a newborn baby. Now Chu Zongguang is actually in his fifties. But it looks younger than the second wife who is in her forties.

Martial artists in the innate realm have already entered the martial arts world, and they are not unknown to the outside world, but they are real masters in Tongzhou Mansion.

It's just that in Chu Xiu's memory, his father has been practicing in seclusion, even to the point where he doesn't even care about the internal affairs of the Chu family, and only expresses opinions on some major issues. Strong, I am afraid that the power of the Chu family will be lost.

In fact, it’s okay to like retreat. After all, their Chu family can be regarded as a family of martial arts. Although they are only the smallest kind, in the arena, strength is everything.

But the problem is that Chu Zongguang has cultivated so hard for more than 20 years, but his own strength does not seem to have changed much. It is a waste of time. Without talent and understanding, no matter how hard he retreats, he will not become a master.

And below Chu Zongguang are five old men, and the youngest one is in their sixties.

These elders are the elders of the Chu family, and also the elders of Chu Zongguang, and they all hold some power in the Chu family.

There are some people standing beside these elders, these are only the housekeepers and stewards of the Chu family, and some are the descendants of these elders, and they also hold part of the power of the Chu family.

Apart from these elders, stewards and others, sitting on both sides were Chu Zongguang's wives and Chu Xiu's brothers.

The eldest lady of the Chu family is said to be from a wealthy family, and she married Chu Zongguang before Chu Zongguang came to Tongzhou Mansion.

Chu Kai, the boss of the Chu family, is tall and tall, with a hint of arrogance always on his face. He is also the strongest among the four brothers of the Chu family, and has reached the blood coagulation level.

Chu Sheng, the youngest of the Chu family, is slightly thinner, with a gentle smile on his face all the time, but he looks at Chu Xiu with a hint of ruthlessness. Obviously, he didn't expect Chu Xiu Hugh was able to come back alive.

The third wife of the Chu family is a graceful woman in her thirties, who is the favorite of Chu Zongguang. The fourth eldest of the Chu family, Chu Shang, is only sixteen years old this year, with a handsome appearance. It is said that she looks very similar to Chu Zongguang when he was young. So it is also the favorite of Chu Zongguang.

There are four sons in the Chu family, but only three wives. Chu Xiu's biological mother is just a concubine, so of course she can't be regarded as the wife that the media is currently marrying.

Chu Xiu walked in and bowed to everyone in the conference hall: "I have seen my father, my first uncle, my third uncle, my seventh uncle, my eighth uncle, my ninth uncle, my aunt, my second mother, and my third mother."

Chu Zongguang nodded lightly, but said lightly: "I'm back, go and sit down."

No matter what his father said, he opened his mouth. As for Chu Xiu's five uncles, they didn't even lift their eyelids.

They are two generations older than Chu Xiu, so of course they don't care about him as a junior. The most important thing is that everyone knows what Chu Xiu's status is in the Chu family, so they don't need to care.

Chu Zongguang coughed and said: "My Chu family has been in Tongzhou Prefecture for more than 20 years, and now it can be regarded as completely rooted here. In recent years, the children have grown up, and several uncles are also urging me. family, it is also time to determine the position of the heir of the family first."

At this time, the eldest lady of the Chu family suddenly said: "What else is there to decide? Chu Kai is the eldest son of the Chu family, and his strength is also the strongest. If Chu Kai is not allowed to be the heir, who else can he be?"

Upon hearing this, the second wife of the Chu family immediately sneered and said: "Sister, what you said is wrong, why should the eldest son inherit the position of head of the family? Our Chu family is not a royal family, so we must Only the eldest son can inherit, look at other martial arts families, the position of the heir to the head of the family has always been occupied by the capable."

There was a gleam of coldness in the eyes of the eldest lady of the Chu family and said: "You mean that my son is not as good as your son?"

The second lady said unhurriedly: "I didn't say that, I just know that we are all women, on these important matters, it is still up to the master to decide."

With that said, the second lady turned her gaze to the third lady: "Sister, do you think so?"

The third lady just smiled, and said softly: "The slave family is just a generation of women, of course I don't understand these things, what the master says, that's what it is."

Upon hearing this, Da Furen's complexion suddenly turned livid.

Although the third lady didn't say it clearly, but listening to what she said, it was obvious that she was on the side of the second lady.

Chu Zongguang slapped the table and shouted, "Enough!"

Seeing Chu Zongguang angry, the women stopped talking.

Chu Zongguang rubbed his head with some headaches. What he hates the most is dealing with such messy things.

"Don't even talk about it. Of course, such a big matter as an heir must be carefully considered. Today, several uncles are here, so I will set the rules here.

For a year, Chu Kai, Chu Xiu, Chu Sheng, and Chu Shang, the four of you hold part of the family business in your hands. Whoever manages the family business best will be the heir.

Our Chu family is only this big, and our business is only so small. Whoever has made great progress can be seen at a glance. "

Speaking of this, Chu Zongguang took a look at Chu Shang, the youngest, and said: "Although my Chu family is a martial arts family, but because of your age, strength is not included in the inspection for the time being, only ability is inspected, do you agree? "

As soon as these words came out, the complexions of the eldest lady and Chu Kai, the boss of the Chu family, suddenly became gloomy. Chu Zongguang was obviously favoring the youngest Chu Shang, and with one sentence, he lost Chu Kai's greatest advantage.

The second lady smiled and said: "Of course I agree with what the master said."

The third wife followed suit and said, "Of course the slave family also agrees."

Only the eldest lady grimaced and snorted coldly: "I don't agree! My Chu family is a martial arts family, but it is a joke to choose the successor of the patriarch without testing the strength!"

Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and looked at the few people present, and just through this conversation, he almost got a feel for the personalities of the few people present.

The elders of the Chu family were just setting things up and had their own tricks, but they didn't dare to disobey Chu Zongguang's intentions.

And his eldest brother and eldest wife are both virtuous, very arrogant, and no one takes them seriously.

I heard that the eldest lady was from a wealthy family, but now she saw that it was so, she dared to challenge Chu Zongguang directly.

But she is very stupid to do this, no matter how big her family is, this is not her family, this is Tongzhou Prefecture, but the Chu family, she contradicts Chu Zong like this, it will only make Chu Zongguang hate it more.

Needless to say, the second lady was cruel and ruthless, and her son Chu Sheng's morality was much shallower than his mother's. When he came in, Chu Xiu could feel the murderous intent from him.

The last third lady is a smart person. After the eldest lady and the second lady are old and fading, she is the only favorite of Chu Zongguang, and she is also harmless to humans and animals. of.

As for Chu Zongguang himself, Chu Xiu could feel that his father was a person who was afraid of trouble, even though he kept saying that choosing the heir of the patriarch was a big deal, but in the end he still seemed a little careless.

This made Chu Xiu a little strange. Could it be that his father is really closed and obsessed, and even such a big matter is so perfunctory?

At this moment, the eldest lady of the Chu family suddenly said: "Chu Xiu, although you are a bastard, you are also the heir of my Chu family. What do you think of what the master said?"

It was only at this time that everyone present seemed to notice Chu Xiu, and the second lady frowned. What she was afraid of was what she was doing now. Although she had won over the third lady and Chu Shang, Chu Xiu, an idiot, had always stood on the side of the eldest lady and Chu Shang. open over there.

The eldest lady also knew this, she proudly raised her eyebrows at the second lady, two against two, if Chu Zongguang blatantly sided with Chu Shang, it would be unreasonable.

But who knew that Chu Xiu smiled at this time, cupped his hands at Chu Zongguang and said: "How dare the child have an opinion on the matter that the father decides? Naturally, the child will do what the father says."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.

Both the lady and Chu Kai looked at Chu Xiu with disbelief, especially Chu Kai, he remembered that this kid had been following him as a follower before, and now he dared to fight against him?

The second lady frowned, but she couldn't figure out what Chu Xiu was thinking.

She can now be sure that Chu Xiu should know what she planned to kill him, but even if he knew this, he is still on her side. What exactly does Chu Xiu mean?

In fact, Chu Xiu's meaning is very simple. He also wants to fight for the position of head of the family. On the side of the eldest lady, why is he still fighting?

In the past, Chu Xiu didn't want to fight, but now Chu Xiu doesn't want to fight for the position of Patriarch. Could the assets of the Chu family be cheaper than his trash brothers?

At this time, even Chu Zongguang looked at Chu Xiu with a surprised face. He felt that this son, whom he had been neglecting before, seemed to be a little different from a year ago. Is this how people are trained in the Nanshan mining area?
