439 You just want to show off to your colleagues

Eldest Lady Liang received her husband’s gaze and secretly glared at him, but she also swallowed the words she wanted to say.

How could the old master not see through what the people in each courtyard are thinking?

Nevertheless, she was also considering whether it was better to let Youxiao do it alone or merge it with the Liang family’s assets.

Before she could decide, the old lady suddenly slammed the table.

She glanced at those from the other courtyards and snorted coldly, “What family assets? You guys invested money or time in it?

“Youxiao and his friend fought for the formulas. It was also Youxiao’s decision to go to the South without hesitation.

“You guys didn’t pay anything, so how could you have the face to take a share of the loot?

“When it comes to using the family’s connections and resources, which courtyard doesn’t use it more than Youxiao?

“And are all of you as filial as Youxiao?

“We’ve agreed before that if Youxiao wants to start a business, then whether he makes a profit or a loss in the future, it’s his own business. There’s no need to merge it into the Liang family’s business.

“You guys didn’t think highly of him before, so don’t get jealous now and think about splitting the benefits.

“Besides, Youxiao didn’t forget about his family. Didn’t he bring back the rubber formula as soon as possible?

“Not only did he make our public administration house proud, but we’ve also been earning a lot of money because of this rubber. Since you’ve benefitted from all these, you must remember Youxiao’s kindness.”

She looked at the old master. “My sixth grandson is so filial. Don’t let him down.”

From the old master’s point of view, he had to consider his family more.

However, she didn’t want her grandson to be disheartened.

She didn’t want others to get a share of things that her most filial and favorite grandson had earned.

Otherwise, it would affect his enthusiasm, which was something she didn’t want to see.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Who in this family would think of writing letters to the old couple from time to time, asking about their well-being, and sending things to show filial piety?

Only Youxiao, her grandson, would think of that.

Ever since Youxiao had gone to the northern border, he would write to her every ten days or half a month, telling her about what had happened at the northern border, about the scenery and fun things at the northern border.

It made her feel younger, as if she had gone to the northern border herself.

That was why she had to protect Youxiao. So what if she was biased?

The old master was still very respectful to his wife. He smiled awkwardly and said, “The old lady is right. I also feel that we can’t disappoint Youxiao. Let him create his own world.”

In fact, he was more inclined to his grandson, but he had to consider the family.

Since his old wife had said so, he would naturally go with the flow.

He still had high hopes for his grandson.

He could not let his family restrict him anymore.

Liang Mingcheng and his wife heaved a sigh of relief when they saw this.

Liang Mingcheng’s wife also felt that her son had not been filial to the old couple for nothing.

The rest of the people in the other courtyards did not feel good.

Some were ashamed, and some felt that the old lady’s words made sense.

However, these were mainly the Liang family’s males.

The madams of the other courtyards were not convinced and felt uncomfortable.

Most of them felt that the old lady and the old master were too biased.

They thought to themselves that they would ask their sons and daughters to be more filial to the old lady and old master in the future.

Youxiao had gained a lot of benefits from this.

Such a large sum of money was not entering the family’s assets, their hearts ached!

However, they didn’t dare to disobey the old lady and old master’s wishes, so they could only hold their breath.

Youxiao was really lucky to have a golden doll like Shi Qingluo.

If they had known earlier, they would have let their children be on good terms with Shi Qingluo.

After discussing this matter, Old Master Liang ordered, “Prepare a few cans of meat and fruit for me tomorrow. I’ll bring them to the court for lunch.”

Upon hearing his words, the Liang family members were speechless.

Didn’t you say that the weather was too hot and that you haven’t been to the imperial court for half a month?

What do you mean by bringing canned food to the court for lunch?

He just wanted to show off to his colleagues.

The old master was really becoming more like an old naughty boy.

However, the males in the Liang family who were going to the court the next day all had the same idea.

The old master couldn’t be the only one in the limelight!

Liang Mingcheng was the first to speak. “I’ll bring a few cans for lunch tomorrow too.”

This was a gift from his son, so of course, he had to share it with his colleagues.

At the same time, he wanted everyone to be jealous.

It couldn’t be helped. His son was too filial.

Even after going to such a far place like the northern border, he still didn’t forget his father.

“Then I’ll bring a few jars to the court tomorrow too. I won’t be coming back for lunch,” the others chimed in.

Although this was a gift from their nephew, it didn’t prevent them from showing off.

“Didn’t you say that Youxiao was a prodigal before?” The old lady said unhappily. “But now you’re going to take a can to the court?

“These are all gifts Youxiao, as a filial child, gave to her mother and I. Don’t even think about taking them all.”

Then, she glared at Old Master Liang.

It was all his fault. He really liked to show off recently.

The old master touched his nose after receiving that glare.

The old lady actually glared at him.

Didn’t she also go to her old friends to show off every time Youxiao showed filial piety?

He then glared at his sons and grandsons.

“All of you, stop it. That is given to us by Youxiao to express his filial piety. What has it got to do with you? Don’t always think about getting a share of it.”

There were only two carts of canned food, how could it be enough for so many people?

The rest of the Liang family remained silent.

The old master really had the nerve to say such words.

They wondered who would bring a few cans to show off tomorrow.

Liang Mingcheng rubbed his nose. “Father, my son gave that to me out of filial piety.”

Before the old master could say anything, Eldest Lady Liang glared at him. “My son said that you didn’t have a share of it.”

It was their fault for throwing their son to the northern border to suffer.

She and the old lady were still heartbroken.

Liang Mingcheng was speechless.

That b * stard was too vengeful. He would break his leg when he came back.

However, he still had to show off. “I’m his father. If he wants to be filial, of course I would get a share.”

The old master was also a little guilty. After all, his grandson had said that he didn’t have a share.

When he saw the old lady looking at him with a half-smile, he coughed and said to his eldest son, “You can just take one with you, that’s good enough.”

He better not anger the old lady and his daughter-in-law who would otherwise not let them take a single can to the court.

Liang Mingcheng really wanted to ask, you are so old, why did you bring a few cans?

This was his biological father.

His biological father specialized in setting his son up.

When the others saw this, they could only calm down.

In their hearts, they were a little angry at their own sons.

Look, recently it was the eldest master’s dandy who had been in the limelight every time.

Why couldn’t their sons be filial to them and let them be in the limelight?

The Xi family also had such a show.

Xi Rui had invested in Liang Youxiao’s can workshop and sent a letter back to the capital.

Those in the other courtyards didn’t believe that the canned food could be kept for so long.

This was completely a prodigal behavior.

They were also waiting to see Xi Rui, this prodigal descendent, make a joke of himself.

However, after tasting the canned food today, their faces hurt.

At the same time, they wanted to get a share of the loot.

However, they were scolded by the old master and the old lady to stop thinking of doing so.

In the Xi family, Xi Rui was the old lady’s darling, and no one could alter his importance in her heart.

This was even worse than the Liang family.

Especially when the old lady had received a lot of letters from her grandson recently, her heart was extremely warm.

How could she let others take advantage of her precious grandson?

Because of this, she helped Xi Rui avoid trouble at home.

So were the old master and Xi Xinheng.

They were going to court tomorrow with canned food for lunch.
