Chapter 553 Before Marriage (2)
"As for Brother An and Brother Ding, they are still young now, and it's too early to give them property, but you know Dad's temper. Once a decision is made, no one can persuade him. There is a big family to take care of, and he would not let them take the property if he gave it to the two younger brothers, so I plan to take advantage of the fact that I am still a member of the family, and each of them will give Brother Ang and Brother Ding a share of property. It is not to give daddy a chance to refuse, and secondly, you know that my property is actually not what I want. I will share some with my two younger brothers. how about?"

Although Ling Mengqi was once so short of money that he had to secretly go to the street to perform with Huzi's master and servant, he never valued money, especially for those he cared about, because he smiled and said: "And Not to mention that those properties belong to you and should be up to you to decide. Even if those properties belong to us, don’t you know that I have a habit of changing seasons, and my wife can do whatever she says, and I will never have half of it.” No' word?"

He teased again: "Even if you said the moon is square, I would immediately nod and say 'well, the moon is indeed square'!"

Before she could say a word, Lu Mingxuan couldn't help laughing, she blushed and said angrily, "I know you're talking too much, but I'm telling you something serious! I'm going to give Brother An the oil mill that Fifth Brother gave me, The shop on the east gate will be given to Brother Ding. The two places together can be worth nearly ten thousand taels of silver, and can earn two to three thousand taels of silver a year. How can I just give it away quietly? I have to tell you in advance, right?"

Ling Mengqi said solemnly: "Since you have made up your mind, do as you say. As long as it is a good thing, I will support you unconditionally." Moreover, he is not short of that little money, let alone Lu Mingxuan's dowry. Wife, he can support himself!
After receiving Ling Mengqi's words, Lu Mingxuan made up her mind, and on the third day when she went to Lu Zhongxian to rest, she packed the deeds of the oil mill and the shop, and went to the room with her hands.

She didn't beat around the bush, and asked Lu Zhongxian to dismiss all the servants as soon as she entered, and said straight to the point, "...This is my intention as a sister, and it is also my intention as a daughter. Daddy and wife don’t want to see me, take it away on behalf of the two younger brothers, and give it to them when they grow up in the future, so as to subsidize their respective small families.”

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Zhongxian heard her finished speaking, he said without thinking: "Your things are yours. Your two younger brothers will be supported by me as their father, and their property will be prepared by me in the future. Why bother you?" My sister is here to worry about it? Isn’t it because I am too incompetent as a father? Put it away quickly, or I will get angry!” Then Qi said, “Say something too, don’t just be in a daze.”

The Qi family was in a state of shock at that time, never would have imagined that Lu Mingxuan would be so generous. The two places together could be worth seven or eight thousand silver at least. Even if she didn't even get the annual profit, she would get it again. The old lady in the mansion valued her so much, so she shouldn't be so generous, right?
In contrast, Lu Mingxuan was much less happy to give these two places to her two sons. First, Qi knew that Lu Zhongxian's temper would definitely not accept it, and second, she herself had no intention of accepting it. In the future, she plans to let her two sons get their birth through the imperial examinations. Even Meng Shengren said that if you want to become a great weapon, you must first "work your muscles and bones, starve your body and skin, and empty your body." The material conditions are too good. She was afraid that her two sons would not be motivated to make progress, so she really picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon!

So hearing Lu Zhongxian's words, Qi quickly returned to God and said: "Yes, second girl, your two younger brothers are supported by your father, no matter how bad they are, they will not be able to suffer. On the contrary, it is you. After you get married, you will belong to someone else's family, uncle. Although it is good, let me say something bad, who can say what will happen in the future? Of course, the more silver you have, the better, you should put it away quickly, or the master will be really angry."

Lu Mingxuan had expected such a result early in the morning, so she wasn't discouraged at the moment, she just showed her serious face to Lu Zhong, "It's Dad's responsibility to support the two younger brothers, but it's my own wish for me to give to the two younger brothers. If Dad doesn't If you accept it, you have always regarded me as an outsider, and you have never really treated me like your sister, otherwise you would not be like me, I am afraid that I will be a little bit involved... "

As he said that, his face showed a look of grievance, and his voice lowered: "Even if friends have the intention of exchanging money, although I am not as good as my sister, is it true that in my father's heart, even my father's friends are not as good as them? I used to listen to My father and my sister said that you like every strand of what your daughter gives you, and you will happily accept it, but now my father compares with me. Sure enough, in your heart, my sister and I are always different Is it?"

The words made Lu Zhongxian anxious, "When did I treat you differently from your sister? In my heart, you two have always been the same, me, me, me... that's all, since it's your intention, I will keep it for your two younger brothers for the time being, and after a few years, if you need it, I will return it to you. If you really don’t need this thing, I will give it to your two younger brothers and let them know what you do. My sister loves them so much, if they dare to be disrespectful to you in the future, see if I will pick them off!"

Order Qi Shi: "Since it's Xuan'er's wish, you can wait for the An'er brothers to take it away for now, just don't tell them now, lest they think about getting something for nothing in the future, and don't know that they have made progress."

After hearing Lu Mingxuan and Lu Zhongxian's plausible words, Mrs. Qi became more and more shocked, but she held her own and took the box from Lu Mingxuan as she said, and said: "In this case, I will thank the second girl on behalf of An'er and Ding'er. gone."

Lu Mingxuan smiled and said, "Madam also wants to figure out whether I'm Ding Mao or Mao?"

Qi didn't say any more. After Lu Mingxuan left later, although she was full of doubts, she held back from asking Lu Zhongxian, thinking that if Lu Zhongxian was willing to tell her, she would tell him without asking. If you don't have that kind of heart, even if you ask yourself, it's useless to ask, so why bother to make each other look bad?
I don't want Lu Zhongxian to be silent for a while, but finally told her the real identity of Lu Mingxuan in a low voice, and finally said with a serious face: "Our family can have today, in the final analysis, it is because of Xuan'er, what is rare is that she treats us all the time. It’s not much better than her own. When Fu’er got married, she added thousands of taels of makeup, and now she has given An’er and Ding’er a share of property. Do you remember that you often said that you and your two sons should remember you for the rest of your life? My sister is good, in the future, if the second sister has any difficulties or needs, they will never frown even if they go up the knife mountain or down the oil pan, do you understand?"

Qi has always felt that Nahan, the old lady treats her two stepdaughters too kindly, especially the second girl, who is so kind that others find it unbelievable.
