Chapter 7 The Chu Family's Discussion

The Chu family's mansion is magnificent. Although it is incomparable to a large family like the Shen family who has been rooted in Tongzhou Prefecture for hundreds of years, the Chu family is an absolute and great family in Tongzhou Prefecture.

Chu Xiu followed the second wife to the Chu family's conference hall. At this time, the conference hall was full of people. At the top was a tall and square-faced middle-aged man wearing a brocade dress and slightly closed his eyes.

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

Speaking of Chu Zongguang's experience is also a legend. He brought dozens of people from the Chu family to Tongzhou Prefecture more than 20 years ago and started from scratch to gain a foothold in Tongzhou Prefecture. Now, the Chu family has become one of the three major families in Tongzhou Prefecture, and is even stronger than the Li family, which has been rooted in Tongzhou Prefecture for hundreds of years.

However, 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 Chu's fourth son, Chu Shuai, who is also Chu Zongguang's youngest son.

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

Chu Zongguang's strength is innate. He has crossed body quenching and blood coagulation, and has reached the state of being in harmony with the qi, blood, muscles and bones in his body, without impurities, like a newborn baby. Chu Zongguang is actually in his fifties now, but he looks younger than the second wife in her forties.

Warriors in the innate realm have already entered the martial arts world, and they are not unknown people outside, but they are genuine masters in Tongzhou Prefecture.

However, in Chu Xiu's memory, his father had been in seclusion and practiced, even to the point where he ignored the matters within the Chu family and only expressed his opinions on some major events. If he had not been the strongest in the Chu family now, the power of the Chu family would have been lost.

In fact, it’s nothing to like to go into seclusion. After all, their Chu family is also considered a martial arts family. Although it is only the smallest one, in the world, strength is everything. Instead of trying hard to do it, it’s better to directly overwhelm people.

But the problem is that Chu Zongguang has practiced so hard for more than 20 years, but his own strength seems to have not changed much. He is simply a waste of time and has no talent and understanding. No matter how hard he goes into seclusion, he will not become a master.

Below Chu Zongguang were five old men, and the youngest ones were all over 60 years old.

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

There are some people standing next to these elders, who are just the housekeepers and officials of the Chu family, and some are descendants of these elders, and they also hold part of the power of the Chu family.

In addition to these elders, managers and others, those sitting on both sides were Chu Zongguang's wives and Chu Xiu's brothers.

The eldest wife of the Chu family is said to be from a large family and married Chu Zongguang before Chu Zongguang came to Tongzhou Prefecture.

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

Chu Sheng, the third son of the Chu family, was slightly thin and had a warm smile on his face, but his eyes looked at Chu Xiu with a hint of viciousness. Obviously, he didn't expect Chu Xiu to come back alive.

The third wife of the Chu family is a graceful woman in her thirties, who is most loved by Chu Zongguang. Chu Shun, the fourth child of the Chu family, is only sixteen years old this year and has a handsome appearance. It is said that she looks very similar to Chu Zongguang when she was young, so she is also most loved by Chu Zongguang.

The four sons of the Chu family, but there are only three wives. Chu Xiu's biological mother is just a concubine, so of course she can't be considered a wife who is married to the official matchmaker.

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

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

His father, no matter how he said that, he spoke. As for Chu Xiu's five uncles, they didn't even raise their eyelids.

They are two generations older than Chu Xiu, so of course they don’t care about him, a junior. The most important thing is that everyone knows what Chu Xiu’s position is in the Chu family, so there is no need to care about it.

Chu Zongguang coughed and said, "My Chu family has been in Tongzhou Prefecture for more than 20 years. Now it has taken root here. The children have grown up in recent years, and several uncles are also urging me to make it time for my Chu family to decide the position of the heir to this family."

At this time, the eldest wife of the Chu family suddenly said, "What else can you decide? Chu Kai is the eldest son of the Chu family and is also the strongest. If you don't let Chu Kai be the heir, who else can you let him be?"

Upon hearing this, the second wife of the Chu family immediately sneered and said, "Sister, what you said is wrong. Why can the eldest son inherit the position of the head of the family? Our Chu family is not a royal family, so we have to inherit the eldest son. Look at the other martial arts families, the position of the head of the family has always been a capable person."

A cold light appeared in the eyes of the eldest lady of the Chu family and said, "What do you mean is my son not as good as yours?"

The second wife said slowly: "I didn't say that. I just know that we are all women. In these major matters, the master will still be the one who decides."

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

The third lady just smiled and said softly: "I am just a woman. Of course I don't understand these things. What the master said is what it is."

When the eldest lady heard this, her face turned pale.

Although the third lady did not say it clearly, he was obviously standing on the side of the second lady when he followed his words.

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

Seeing that Chu Zongguang was angry, several women stopped talking.

Chu Zongguang rubbed his head with a headache. What he hated the most was dealing with such messy things.

"Stop talking about it. Of course, we have to consider carefully what the heir is doing. Today, several uncles are here, so I have decided on the rules here.

In a year, Chu Kai, Chu Xiu, Chu Sheng, Chu Sui, Chu Sui, and Chu Su. All four of you hold part of the family's business in your hands. Whoever manages the family's business best will be the position of this heir.

Our Chu family is so big, and there is only one business. Whose progress can be seen at a glance."

Speaking of this, Chu Zongguang glanced at Chu Shang, the youngest, and said, "Although my Chu family is a martial arts family, because of your age, your strength is not within the examination for the time being. You only have the ability to examine. Do you agree?"

As soon as he said this, the faces of the eldest lady and Chu Kai, the boss of the Chu family, suddenly became gloomy. Chu Zongguang was obviously favoring Chu Shang, the youngest, and lost his biggest advantage in just one sentence.

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

The third lady also said, "Of course I agree."

Only the eldest lady had a blue face and snorted coldly: "I don't agree! As a martial arts family, my Chu family chose the heir of the head but did not test their strength. This is simply a joke!"

Chu Xiu squinted his eyes and looked at the people present. After just this conversation, he almost touched the personalities of the people present.

The Chu family's elders were just decorations and had their own little plans, but they did not dare to disobey Chu Zongguang's intentions.

His elder brother and his wife are both of the same virtue, very arrogant, and don’t take anyone seriously.

I heard that the eldest lady was from a great clan, but now she saw that this is true, she actually dared to challenge Chu Zongguang directly.

But she was very stupid to do this. No matter how big her family came from, it was not her family. This was Tongzhou Prefecture and the Chu family. Her contradicted Chu Zong so much would only make Chu Zongguang even more disgusted.

Needless to say, the second wife was cruel and ruthless. Her son, the third son, Chu Sheng, was much shallower than his mother. When Chu Xiu came in, he could feel murderous intent from him.

The third lady was a smart man. After the eldest lady and the second lady were old and deteriorated, she was loved by Chu Zongguang alone, and she showed that humans and animals were harmless, but if she didn't fight, she would fight. Chu Zongguang was the one who liked the most.

As for Chu Zongguang himself, Chu Xiu could feel that his father was afraid of trouble. Even though he kept saying that choosing the heir of the head of the family was a big deal, he still seemed to be a little worried.

This made Chu Xiu a little surprised. Could his father be so obsessed with being so obscene, even acting so perfunctorily like such a big thing?

At this moment, the eldest lady of the Chu family suddenly said, "Chu Xiu, although you are the concubine's son, you are also the heir to my Chu family. What do you think about the matter that the master said?"

Everyone present seemed to notice Chu Xiu at this time. The second wife frowned. What she was afraid of was like now. Although she had won the third wife and Chu Shang, Chu Xiu, the idiot, had always stood on the side of the eldest wife and Chu Kai.

The eldest lady knew this, and she raised her eyebrows proudly at the second lady, two to two, if Chu Zongguang blatantly favored Chu Shang again, it would be a little unreasonable.

But who knew that Chu Xiu smiled at this time and bowed to Chu Zongguang: "How dare the child have a view of what his father decided? Of course, he will do whatever his father said."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.

The eldest lady and Chu Kai looked at Chu Xiu with disbelief, especially Chu Kai. He remembered that this kid had always been following behind him as a follower, but now he dared to go against him?

The second wife frowned, and she couldn't guess what Chu Xiu was thinking.

She could now be sure that Chu Xiu should know that he designed to kill him, but even if he knew this, he was still standing on his side. What does Chu Xiu mean?

In fact, Chu Xiu’s meaning is very simple. He also wants to fight for the position of the head of the family. On the side of the eldest lady, is he still fighting for nothing?

In the past, Chu Xiu didn't want to fight, but now Chu Xiu doesn't compete for the position of the head of the family. Can the Chu family's assets be cheaper than those of his waste brothers?
