Chapter 253 Separation
Chapter 253 Separation
Korez was indeed cunning enough to let Ma Shaunie take the blame for him.
Gu Xi sneered and said:
"You are so stupid that you don't even know it. You are being sold and you are still helping others count the money!"
How could a cunning capitalist like Koretz, who would use Ma Shaoni to take the blame whenever something went wrong, hire a killer just because he loved Ma Shaoni?
I'm afraid only a fool like Ma Shao Ni would believe his nonsense.
But the only time Gu Xi and Korez met was in the parking lot. Apart from wanting to vent his anger after being beaten, what other purpose could there be?
Ma Shao Ni's thoughts at this moment were either scolding her or being infatuated with her. She firmly believed that Korez loved her very much and it was impossible to expect to know the reason from her. Probably only Korez himself knew.
Mick Medicine.
After Korez told Gast about the four killers, he became even more excited.
"None of the four killers can hurt her at all. This is getting more and more interesting. This woman must have enormous energy. If we can research it and use it on our genetic warriors, it will definitely be even more powerful. Hahahaha... Koriz, I can't wait to study her."
Koriz said, "I have already applied to the headquarters to send a higher level assassin, preferably a world-class assassin. But I have already attracted the attention of the Chinese police and cannot contact the assassin anymore. Geist, you will be in charge this time."
Gast narrowed his eyes:
"no problem!"
He became even more curious about Gu Xi and thought about how to get in touch with Gu Xi first. If she really had extraordinary abilities, even the world's top killers might not be her match.
"Koriz, give me some information about Gu Xi's family and friends." Gast's face was full of calculation.

Gu Mansion.
Gu Xi came to his mother's room, and Gu Yunqing was also there.
"Dad, how many shops and farms did the second wife give you yesterday?"
Gu Yunqing said angrily:
"The second brother was too much. He gave me two land deeds, both of which were shops with the worst locations. He didn't give me any farms because I was just a servant now. The people in the Ministry of Revenue were very good at changing their attitudes according to the situation, so they gave both the shops and farms to the second brother."
Yesterday at the Ministry of Revenue, Gu Yunqing really wanted to reveal his identity and beat up the second brother.
If he really died and Xier was just an ordinary girl again, one can imagine how the second brother would treat his eldest sister-in-law and nephews and nieces.
Ever since Gu Yunqing appeared in front of them alive, Qi Shi has become less concerned about material things. There is nothing happier than having the whole family together.
"Brother Qing, don't be angry. Ever since he sold us to the traffickers, I no longer consider them family. No matter whether they become poor or prosperous in the future, we just need to live our own lives behind closed doors."
Qi comforted her husband, and then said worriedly:
"I'm afraid they'll come and make trouble, and disturb our peace. I think it's better not to have those properties. Now that they have money in their hands, they will definitely want to leave us alone. It's better to divide the property now."
The Qi family is quite well-organized! However, Gu Xi is not someone who is willing to suffer a loss. She wants to divide the family and make the second branch leave the house with nothing!
"Mom is right, let's divide the family, today!" Gu Xi said firmly.
Gu Yunze held a pile of house deeds and land deeds, and his heart became tough again. He would go out and sell them later, and he could at least get two or three hundred thousand taels of silver.
Gu Xi and Qi came to his house, and Gu Yunze was so scared that he quickly hid his things.
As soon as Gu Xi entered the door, he said:
"Uncle, I heard that you got back all the house deeds and land deeds of the Gu family yesterday?"
Gu Yunze immediately denied it:
"Don't listen to your housekeeper's nonsense. It won't be that fast."
In fact, the people from the Ministry of Revenue urgently paid it to him yesterday in order to please him. However, every time he saw his eldest niece, he would feel inexplicably scared and wanted to stay away from her.
Gu Xi said:
"Why are you so nervous, Uncle? I didn't ask you to take out all of them."
Gu Yunze was also very annoyed. Why should he be afraid of a little girl? So he puffed out his chest and said:
"Who's nervous? Your share of the main house has already been given to your steward. There's no more."
Gu Xi said:
"How is that possible? I don't know exactly how many farms and shops there are, but there must be at least forty or fifty."
Gu Yunze said:
"Maybe there were some before, but after the family was confiscated, many of them were sold by the government. And I, Second Uncle, have to give people benefits to replace them, so there are only a few left now."
Gu Xi said very sensibly:
"Forget it. The Second Branch is in need of money. We are orphans and widows in the First Branch, so we don't need much money. Now that our grandfather is gone, it's time for us to separate."
Gu Yunze looked at Gu Xi in confusion:
"Divide the family? How do you plan to divide it?"
Gu Xi said:
"Since ancient times, the eldest son has inherited the ancestral home. I don't ask for much, so I'll give this house to our eldest son. As for those farms and shops, no matter how much my second uncle takes back, even my mother's dowry shop, they will all belong to the second son. Do you think this is feasible?"
When Gu Yunze heard this, he started to make plans in his mind.
The Gu Mansion does not cover a large area and is worth only about 10,000 or 20,000 silver coins. However, the deeds in his hands include 30 shops and a dozen farms, which are worth at least 200,000 or 300,000 taels. Is this niece crazy?
Well, it could also be that she is just a little girl and doesn’t understand these things.
"Are you serious?" Gu Yunze asked while looking at Qi.
Qi said, "I agree with what Xi'er said. Although the Gu Mansion is not as valuable as the shops you have, Yuan'er is the eldest grandson of the Gu family. The Gu Mansion should be left to him."
Li and Gu Wei, who had been hiding in the inner room and eavesdropping, suddenly came out. Li said:
"Master, I also think it's time to divide the family. Since the eldest sister-in-law agrees, then let's do it. However, since the first wife has inherited the ancestral house, the old man's funeral should also be handled by the first wife."
She had a more careful calculation. The funeral of a first-rank general would have to be a grand one, which would definitely cost a lot of money. Even if many people would give gifts, they would have to be repaid, and this was the business of the first wife.
Gu Xi said:
"Okay, then I also have a request, you move out today."
Gu Wei said angrily:
"Gu Xi, don't go too far! Where do you want us to stay for the time being?"
Although she also agrees with dividing the family, she can't kick people out now, right?
In any case, this is the residence of a first-rank general, and it would be more respectable for her to enter the palace from here.
Gu Xi spread his hands and said:
"Forget it, since you don't agree to divide the family, let's talk about the farms and shops. First of all, my mother has six dowry shops--"
"Okay, okay! Let's move!" Gu Yunze interrupted Gu Xi.
He had already figured out how much silver he would get from those shops, and there was no way he would spend it all. It was important to divide the family property quickly while his eldest niece was doing something stupid.
