Xu Guixiang hadn't come over yet, but she heard a noise coming from the door.

"Xu Guixiang, you are really amazing. Mom gave you all our family fortune so that you could open a restaurant. Now that you are rich, you even disown us two brothers."

Two sturdy men, accompanied by a group of relatives and friends, walked towards Deyue Tower in a mighty procession.

Ye Jintang stood up curiously and looked from the second floor to the lobby on the first floor.

There were so many people in the group that even the huge lobby of Deyue Building seemed a bit crowded.

"Xu Guixiang, come out here. We won't leave until you distribute this year's dividends from Deyue Building today."

Two sturdy men sat on the stools, looking like they were not to be trifled with.

"Who are these two people?"

Xiao Mo didn't know when he stood next to Ye Jintang.

"If I'm not mistaken, these two people should be Xu Guixiang's two brothers."

"Oh, didn't they say they split up a long time ago? Why are they suddenly coming to ask for the restaurant's dividends? Did they also invest money in the restaurant?"

"They don't look like they would be able to put money in a restaurant."

Xu Guixiang's two brothers were both wearing coarse cotton-padded clothes, which were obviously cheap goods. How could they have money to invest in the restaurant?

"You poor beggars, the restaurant belongs to my son, why should I give you dividends? If I have to give anything, it should be given to me."

An old lady in brocade slowly walked into the lobby from the backyard.

She was holding a cane in her hand, but she walked very steadily and didn't look like she needed to use it.

"What are you talking about, old woman? If it weren't for my sister's management skills, do you think that idiot Niu Guangping could have run the restaurant? Don't dream."

The eldest son of the Xu family looked at Old Lady Niu with disdain. The old lady wanted to quarrel, so he joined in.

Ye Jintang, who was standing on the second floor, was stunned. They were going to fight for money and even skip the New Year's Eve. Were both sides going to show off their skills here?

Just when Ye Jintang was about to watch the fun, he saw Xu Guixiang appear at the back door.

She was wearing a dark red brocade dress with a fluffy shawl on her shoulders.

The lobby was about to break into a mess, but Xu Guixiang had no intention of going forward. She even had the illusion that she wanted to watch the show along with her.

The eldest and second oldest Xu brought quite a few relatives with them, and Old Lady Niu was no exception, as she even brought her nephews and nieces.

Both sides were swearing at each other and were about to start a fight. Niu Guangping ran over from the kitchen in a hurry.

"We are all relatives. Don't quarrel."

Ye Jintang leaned over to Xiao Mo's ear and whispered, "I only heard that Niu Guangping had a stutter, but I didn't expect it to be so serious."

"It was a waste for my sister to marry him."

Xiao Mo looked down on Niu Guangping. How could his sister, a beautiful girl, marry a stuttering cook? Judging from the situation, the Niu family was not peaceful.

"That's not necessarily true. You can't judge a man by his appearance alone. Some men are only good-looking, but they are evil inside."

"But good-looking men are more likely to deceive women's hearts."

While the two were talking, the Xu and Niu families had already started fighting, and no one of them supported Niu Guangping.

While they were quarreling, the shopkeeper had invited all the guests in the lobby to the private rooms. Now the lobby was very spacious, and perhaps the relatives of the Niu family could have a hearty fight.

The waiters and the owner of the restaurant all stepped aside, fearing that they would be implicated.

Mrs. Xu was a tough woman. As soon as she came up, she started to pull at Old Lady Niu's clothes.

Old Mrs. Niu was not a pushover either, and she reached out to pull Mrs. Xu's hair.

Niu Guangping on the side was extremely anxious.

"You, you, don't, don't fight."

By the time he had stammered out his sentence, Old Lady Niu and Mrs. Xu had already fought for several rounds, their clothes were torn apart, and their hair was messed up.

Niu Guangping was extremely anxious when suddenly someone pulled him from behind.

When he turned around, he saw Xu Guixiang with a dark face. She didn't tell the truth and pulled Niu Guangping aside.

"It's not like they've fought once or twice. Let them fight and have enough of it sooner rather than later so we can prepare the New Year's Eve dinner."

"Wife, this, this is not good."

"So do you have a solution?"

After being asked this by Xu Guixiang, Niu Guangping finally shut up.

He really can't solve it.

The crowd was making such a big fuss that soon the government officials came.

Xu Guixiang, who had been silent just now, brought over two documents.

"Sir, this is the document that my eldest brother and second brother used to divide the family property. It clearly states that the family property will be divided into three parts. I will support my mother, and our three families will have nothing to do with each other in the future."

"This is the document my parents-in-law wrote to us when Niu Guangping and I got married. It clearly states that Niu Guangping and I only got three acres of thin land. We got nothing else."

"Because our share of the property is small, our parents-in-law's birth, old age, sickness and death have nothing to do with us in the future. My brother-in-law will be responsible for their care and funeral. All the Niu family property will belong to my brother-in-law in the future."

The two documents of separation of property directly shut up the people from Xu and Niu families.

There was an auntie from the Niu family who had a kind face. She stepped forward and advised, "Wife Guangping, your parents-in-law were instigated by someone to write the document to divide the family. They regretted it a long time ago, otherwise they wouldn't have come to the capital to seek refuge with you during the New Year."

"I don't like what you said, Fifth Aunt. If Guangping and I were still living in our old shabby house and just setting up a stall on the roadside, would my parents-in-law still come to visit us with a bunch of relatives?"

Xu Guixiang was a capable person. She talked nonstop and in no time she explained the whole cause and effect clearly.

"Sir, we have already given Niu and the Xu family no longer have any connection. They think that we are young and easy to control, so they are trying to deduct money from us. Today, they broke so many of our teacups, tables, chairs and benches. Please, Sir, make the decision and compensate us for everything."

"Well, if we really split up, the Xu and Niu families can no longer ask you for money."

"Hurry up and check how much stuff is damaged and ask them to compensate you."

Ye Jintang, who was standing on the second floor, was very confused when he heard the officer say this.

She whispered softly in Xiao Mo's ear, "Why are the officials so nice today and are doing justice for Gui Xiang?"

"Is it possible that Guixiang has already established a firm foothold in the capital, and even the officials in the government office know them and have even received favors from them?"

After hearing what Xiao Mo said, Ye Jintang suddenly realized what was going on. She then asked why the official, who usually looked down on others, was so approachable today.

"In less than a cup of tea, Xu Guixiang had calculated the losses, a total of 30 taels of silver."

30 taels of silver is not a small amount, and the Niu and Xu families immediately refused to accept it.

"You little whore, you dare say that just a few plates, bowls, tables and chairs are worth 30 taels of silver? Why don't you go rob them on the street?"
