When the old man asked him a question, Song Muqi replied with an awkward smile:

"Dad, I was ignorant when I was young, and I really embarrassed you.

My son is willing to endure two more beatings. Can Dad reconsider this matter of shares?"

When Song Muqi said this, the Song family members couldn't help but whisper to each other, waiting to see what the old man would decide.

The older members of the clan knew very well that the old man was merciless when it came to enforcing the family law, which could cost a person half his life.

The family whip passed down by the Song family's ancestors is a bamboo-jointed copper whip about one meter long, with a handle made of small purple-leaf sandalwood, which looks very delicate.

Over the past few decades, except for Song Muqi who was punished by family discipline once, no other descendants of the Song family have been punished by family discipline.

At the beginning, Song Ci's mother committed suicide. Song Muqi wanted to take Song Ci home to raise him, but Zhao Wenhui refused to agree.

This incident caused a lot of uproar, and the old man personally enforced the family rules and forced Song Muqi to lie in bed for half a month.

Now, Song Muqi would rather be beaten twice more than give up the shares he has obtained. This shows how great the temptation of this wealth is?

In Song Muqi's opinion, the old man is old and has obviously become much more lenient over the years. Even if he takes the initiative to accept the family rules, can he beat him to death?

The old man is angry and embarrassed. If I give him a way out, won’t the matter be resolved satisfactorily?

From the beginning to the end, the people in the first house collectively acted as hands-off bosses and did not say a word about the old man's handling of the matter.

Now, Song Muqi didn't want to lose his interests, so he proposed to use family rules to exchange for shares, but Song Muxuan and his son remained silent.

Sang Shuyun looked at Song Muqi and thought that this guy was so shameless that he could use his face to develop bulletproof vests.

However, since the man in the family didn't speak, Sang Shuyun naturally didn't say anything either.

After hearing Song Muqi's answer, the old man was not surprised at all. He squinted his eyes and waved his hand.

"You are my son, and if I hit you, I will feel pain too, right?

There's no need to get beaten twice more. Since you're unwilling to give up your shares, you'll hand over everything you're doing starting tomorrow.

From now on, you are not allowed to participate in any affairs of the Song family. At the end of each year, you just need to look at the financial report and collect the dividends on time.

How about it, am I tolerant enough for you?"

I have to say that the old man is also a ruthless man. It seems that he has wanted to deal with his youngest son for a long time, but he has never had a suitable opportunity.

Since Song Muqi was unwilling to give up his shares, he removed Song Muqi's management rights, which was equivalent to cutting off the pillar of the second house.

Song Muqi's face twitched violently when he heard this. Seeing that things were not going well, Song Yanchang quickly took the initiative to speak.

"Grandpa, since you've ordered Dad to give his shares to Song Ci and Song Xi, I think it's only right.

We are all family anyway. Even if the shares are divided among my younger brothers and sisters, don’t they still belong to our second branch?

My mother doesn't agree to share the shares because she is afraid that Yan Huai and I will be unhappy, which will cause chaos in our family and be embarrassing.

I have no objection to this matter, and I think my brother has the same idea as me.

Yan Huai, what do you think? "

After Song Yanchang said this, he gave Song Yanhuai a look, and Song Yanhuai also echoed it, indicating that he had no objection to this matter.

Just kidding, even if the shares are distributed, the worst that can happen is that Song Ci and Song Xi will get less when the inheritance is divided in the future.

If Song Muqi hands over the company affairs and loses the right to speak in the Song family, how can they, the brothers, compete for power with the eldest branch?

With her two sons expressing their opinions, Zhao Wenhui nodded repeatedly, and apologized with a bitter face.

"Dad, it's all my fault for not being sensible. I'm just a woman, so please don't treat your daughter-in-law like that.

Yan Chang is right. They are all children of the second wife, and they have suffered injustices over the years. It is indeed right for Mu Qi to show his attitude and compensate Song Ci and Song Xi."

With the excuse given by his wife and children, Song Muqi knelt down with a plop and slapped himself twice in front of everyone.

"Dad, it's all my fault for being confused, please don't be angry.

My son is willing to accept the penalty and divide his shares between Song Ci and Song Xi."

Seeing that the second branch unanimously agreed to distribute the shares held by Song Muqi, the old man said "hmm".

"Okay, let's do it!

I'm tired, I'm going to rest for a while, and I'll come back when Song Ci and his family arrive."

The old man said this and looked at Song Muxuan as he stood up.

"Boss, I'm old and can no longer enforce the family rules. I'll leave the enforcement of the family rules to you today!

According to the old rules, I will punish Old Man Twenty with forty lashes, and you are not allowed to let him off secretly.

"Butler Liu, please tell Dr. Lan in advance and ask him to stay at the old house to look after the second son for the next few days."

Song Muqi's face was pale. When he heard the words "forty lashes", he shuddered unconsciously, and it was obvious that he was frightened.

Song Yanshu remained silent. Seeing the old man being supported and walked away, he took a sip of his teacup.

"Everyone present here is family. You all know what to say and what not to say when you go out, right?"

After hearing this, the Song family members nodded repeatedly, indicating that they would keep their mouths shut about what happened today.

Although these people do not have many shares in the Song Group, they all have some, and the returns they get are much higher than those of ordinary shareholders.

If they are ignorant and spread the news that Song Muqi has an illegitimate child or expose the old man's domestic violence, aren't they going against me?

Xu Ning's mouth was dry from eating melon seeds. She picked up the teacup and took a big sip. It was really an experience.

This old man of the Song family, don’t be fooled by his usual smiling face, he is very good at dealing with people!

Except for Song Xi, everyone in the second house looked pale and forced themselves to smile in the hall.

Song Muqi sat slumped on the sofa, not saying a word for a long time, not even bothering to smile.

Xu Ning nudged Song Yuzhu privately and asked in a low voice:

"Niece, is this family law powerful?"

Song Yuzhu shook her head, "I don't know, I haven't been hit.

All I know is that it is a brass bamboo whip, usually kept in a box. It is an antique of our Song family.

My great-grandfather would have it maintained regularly, and it was kept golden and dazzling.”

Xu Ning hissed, feeling that it was not worth it.

"Old man, you're so willing to do this. In order to teach your son a lesson, aren't you afraid of damaging the antique?"

After hearing this, Song Yuzhu's mouth curled up with a hint of sarcasm.

"Well, letting Second Grandpa suffer the punishment of the family discipline today feels like it has brought him more glory and doubled his worth. It's really a waste of talent!

However, Second Grandpa may not be that lucky!

Every year, my great-grandfather had a new bamboo whip replaced. It was as thick as my thumb. I wonder if it was used to replace family discipline?"

Xu Ning, “…”

So, the old man may be old but not old at heart. Is he ready to beat someone up at any time?

Seeing that the matter had come to an end, Sang Shuyun hurriedly called the servants to add tea and water for everyone, and the smile on her face could not be hidden.

"The old man said that today is a good day, everyone should stay and don't leave.

Have some snacks first, I'll go to the kitchen and prepare a nice welcoming banquet for Song Xi!"
