Chapter 8 Don't Know the Rules
Chu Xiu's choice was unimaginable to everyone, but the second and third wives showed a hint of joy.
No matter why Chu Xiu stood on the opposite side of the eldest lady, anyway, they were the winners, and that was enough.
Chu Kai whispered viciously to Chu Xiu beside him: "Chu Xiu! Do you know what you are talking about? I will give you another chance, do you dare to say it again?"
From Chu Xiu came in to now, Chu Kai has never looked at Chu Xiu, the only time he looked at Chu Xiu now is because Chu Xiu stood on the opposite side of him, and his attitude was the same as that of the previous Chu Xiu, condescending .
Chu Xiu glanced at him, and said loudly: "Brother, what do you mean? Is it wrong for me to obey my father? Brother, you are not the head of the family yet, and you are so lenient. When you really become my Chu Patriarch of the family, are we younger brothers going to be kicked out of the Chu family by you to beg for food?"
"you……!"
Chu Kai was so angry that he stood up immediately, but Chu Zongguang's complexion suddenly sank, and he snorted coldly: "Sit down! Let's see what you look like, do you still have a bit of majesty as a big brother? Don't Forget, I'm not dead yet! Now the Chu family is not choosing the Patriarch, but the Patriarch's heir!"
Although Chu Zongguang was too lazy to take care of the Chu family's affairs and was all focused on retreating, he still had a bottom line. Chu Kai was so presumptuous, of course he couldn't just sit idly by.
Chu Kai sat down resentfully, and the eldest lady of the Chu family was also ashen-faced and silent.
Chu Zongguang coughed and said, "Okay, this matter is settled like this, and no one is allowed to argue anymore."
But at this moment, Chu Xiu suddenly stood up and said, "Father, the child still has something to say."
Chu Zongguang frowned and said, "What else do you need?"
Chu Xiu said indifferently: "Boss and the others all hold a part of the family business, but what do I have in my hand? Since my father has set the rules for the heir of the head of the family, you can't favor one over another, right?"
As soon as this remark came out, except for Chu Zongguang, the faces of everyone present changed a little. Chu Xiu's meaning was obvious. He wanted a part of the family business, and he also wanted to compete for the position of the heir to the head of the family!
Only then did the second wife understand why Chu Xiu was on their side. To be precise, Chu Xiu should be on her side now.
Chu Kai stared at Chu Xiu, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
Even this trash wants to compete for the position of Patriarch's heir? Chu Xiu's threat to him was even worse than that of the teenage fourth brother Chu Shang.
At this time, a middle-aged man standing behind suddenly said in a slightly sarcastic tone: "The second son is holding the Nanshan mining area in his hand, what business do you want?"
This person is the chief steward of the Chu family, his surname is Liu, and he is the eldest lady's elder brother.
The housekeeper and steward in the Chu family are two positions. The steward is mainly responsible for some businesses and industries of the Chu family, while the housekeeper is only responsible for managing some personnel affairs within the Chu family. They are closer to the people of the Chu family. Several housekeepers are several Madam's relative, so even if you don't know martial arts, you can do it.
As soon as Steward Liu spoke, everyone looked at him. Everyone knew that Steward Liu was targeting Chu Xiu. Who made Chu Xiu stand opposite the eldest lady and sing the opposite?
Although the Nanshan mining area can be regarded as the business of the Chu family, but the mining area is so big, no one can change the second one. Guarding the Nanshan mining area as a business is basically the same as giving up the heir of the patriarch.
At this moment, Chu Xiu stood up, and suddenly said to Liu Guan's family: "Steward Liu, come here, I have something to tell you."
The Liuguan family was taken aback, but he still came over and muttered: "If there is something, the second son just say it directly, are you afraid that I will not be able to hear it if I am too far away?"
But when he just walked to Chu Xiu's side, Chu Xiu suddenly shot without warning, and punched Steward Liu in the abdomen. The powerful force immediately caused Steward Liu to vomit a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground clutching his stomach.
This was not over yet, Chu Xiu kicked Liu Guan's house expressionlessly, and in an instant, Liu Guan's house was covered in blood, and let out a miserable howl.
Now it was a family discussion, and no one expected that Chu Xiu would suddenly attack violently. When everyone reacted, the housekeeper Liu had already been trampled to death by Chu Xiu.
The second lady and the others couldn't help shivering when they saw Chu Xiu's expressionless face.
Not only because of Chu Xiu's ruthlessness, but also because Chu Xiu seemed to be a different person at this time, which made them feel extremely uncomfortable.
"boom!"
Chu Zongguang dropped his palm in anger, and the table beside him immediately fell apart.
"That's enough! Chuxiu! What do you want to do? Do it in public. Haven't you put my father in your eyes?"
Seeing Chu Zongguang's anger, Chu Xiu stopped, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
It seems that I really didn't like this cheap old man before.
It was only when Chu Kai acted so presumptuously in front of him that he just scolded him, but now it was his turn to teach a servant a lesson, Chu Zongguang slapped the table angrily.
Chu Xiu bowed his hands to Chu Zongguang slowly and said: "Father, please calm down, the child just lost control for a while.
When did the master speak and it was the turn of a servant to interrupt at will? I haven't been back to the Chu family for more than a year. Is the current Chu family so unruly?
Forgive me, father, you are usually too kind, which makes these servants not know the rules. "
Chu Xiu cast a cold glance at Steward Liu at his feet and said, "If this kind of stuff was placed in the Nanshan mining area, I would have already thrown it out to light a sky lantern. My father is kind, but I, Chu Xiu, are not so easy to talk to." .”
While Chu Xiu explained, he flattered Chu Zongguang without a trace, which made Chu Zongguang's anger dissipate for the most part.
Although Steward Liu is a relative of the Da Furen, he is only a servant after all, can he make his son apologize for a servant? Although this is just his least favorite son.
Besides, he has been in seclusion all year round, and he really seldom cares about the affairs of the family, which makes these servants a little shameful.
Chu Zongguang waved his hand casually and said: "Forget it, remember next time, this is the Chu family, not the Nanshan mining area. If you have something to say, you will be fined for three months to help Steward Liu recuperate."
Chu Xiu immediately cupped his hands and said, "I obey, but my lord, what should I do about what I said before? I can't really guard a Nanshan mining area for business, can I? Otherwise, what's the point of calling me here as the heir of the family?" ?”
Chu Zongguang frowned. Although he never thought of passing on the position of patriarch to his son whom he didn't like or value much, he couldn't do it in front of so many people. unacceptable.
At this moment, the eldest lady said dissatisfiedly: "Master, let's leave this matter alone? Chu Xiu committed murder in public, and he didn't take you seriously at all!"
Hearing Da Furen's words, Chu Zongguang's complexion suddenly became a little gloomy, and he snorted coldly: "What else do you want me to do? Do you want him to pay for Steward Liu's life? As I said, let's leave this matter alone.
From today onwards, Chu Xiu will be in charge of a caravan from my Chu family going to the country of Yan. Now the caravan should be on the way back, and when the caravan returns to the Chu family, you will take over. "
Chu Xiu bowed to Chu Zongguang and said with a smile, "Thank you, Father."
When she stood up, Chu Xiu also saw the ashen faces of Da Furen and Chu Kai, but Chu Xiu didn't pay attention, this mother and son are idiots.
The eldest lady was from a wealthy family, but she was a little confused about herself.
This is Tongzhou Mansion, the Chu family, not her previous family, and fighting against Chu Zongguang will only make Chu Zongguang loathe her more and more.
And that Chu Kai, he is seven or eight years older than Chu Xiu, such a big advantage did not allow him to become the heir of the patriarch early, and now he has to compete with his younger brothers again, it is simply a waste .
Chu Zongguang waved his hand and said: "Okay, everything has been settled, let's go."
With Chu Zongguang's departure, everyone also left the meeting hall, but before they left, they all gave Chu Xiu a strange look.
Especially the mother and son of the Second Madam, their biggest enemies before were the Da Furen and Chu Kai. They did not expect that Chu Xiu would change so much within a year, and even give birth to such great ambitions.
After leaving the meeting room, the second wife and Chu Sheng returned to their room, Chu Shang couldn't help but said: "Mother, didn't you arrange someone to kill Chu Xiu? How come he can come back alive now?"
The second lady's face was gloomy: "Miscalculation, who would have thought that after staying in the Nanshan mining area for a year, Chu Xiu has changed so much, if I knew this, I should have persuaded the master to relegate him to other places.
The Nanshan mining area is full of criminals and murderers. Although the environment is harsh, it is enough to train people. Chuxiu stayed there for a year, as if he was a different person.
But you don't have to worry about giving birth, you can see that Chuxiu's performance today, dare to do it in front of the master, it is simply arrogant and crazy!
He himself is not liked by the master, and it is even more so now, the Chu family will not choose a lunatic as the heir of the head of the family.
So you don't have to worry, among you brothers, Chu Kaizhi has great talent and lack of arrogance. Chu Xiu acted crazy, and the master didn't like it.
That Chu Shang is only in his teens, too young, although the master likes him the most, he can't threaten you at all. As long as you become the heir of the patriarch, are you afraid that you won't be able to suppress him? "
Chu Sheng nodded, with a cold look in his eyes. In his opinion, he is the only one who is worthy of being the future head of the Chu family. Apart from being born a few years earlier than him, how can Chu Kai be better than him?
"By the way, my father gave Chu Xiu a caravan today. If I remember correctly, the stewards in that caravan seem to be your mother, right? Find a chance to trip Chu Xiu! "
The second lady said with a cold voice on her face: "Don't worry, mother spent a lot of money to win over the steward in the caravan, even if Chu Xiu got the caravan, I guarantee that he can't command alone! "
