Chapter 1425 Let Me Live A Few More Years

Zhou Luo was illiterate and did not know anything about being classy and elegant. She did not know anything about musical instruments or dance, and only went around eyeing other people's money.

She could even help another family bring up their children for the sake of the family's money! The Xia family really did not know how to repay this type of kindness!

Zhou Luo turned to look away and did not reply. Qiao Mei smiled in satisfaction. She looked at Xia He and secretly gave a thumbs up, making Xia He feel much better.

After what happened with the Shao family yesterday, whatever Zhou Luo was doing today was really only child's play. Qiao Mei did not think highly of Zhou Luo at all. Such a person could be easily gotten rid of and there was no need for her to waste too much energy.

"Now that everyone is here, I'll get the process started. I don't have a lot of assets, so it's really very straightforward," Xia Jun said seriously.

He took out a bankbook. There was more than 30,000 dollars in the bank account. This was all his savings and also the money for his eventual funeral expenses. This was the money he had put aside for his retirement and would remain untouched for now. If there was any money left after he passed on, the three families could split it equally. n.-0vElB1n

The house that Xia Jun was living in now was not his private property, but belonged to the government. Only people who had made great contributions to the country could live in such properties. After his death, the government would take back this house and give his estate 20,000 dollars as compensation. The three families should also split this amount of money equally.

By right, this house should have already become his personal property, in a similar manner to the one Xia Wen's workplace unit allocated to him. However, due to the special nature of such properties only being available to an elite group of people, it was understandable that the government preferred to pay some money to retain the house. In fact, for people who qualified to live in such properties, the amount of money was nothing much to them.

How could Xia Jun's value be measured against all these assets? It was his connections that were valuable! Xia Jun personally knew many old cadres in the army and officials in the government. Some of them were even his disciples! As long as Xia Jun gave an instruction, none of these people would disobey him.

At this point in time, the eldest son's family was doing very well. Xia Mao was still in good health and could continue working for another few decades! Xia Wen was an important staff in the government and Xia He was quite famous in the military art troupe. Xia Zhe was doing even better. He was already akin to being Xia Jun's successor! Furthermore, he had Qiao Mei supporting him at home.

If Qiao Mei went into business in the future, no one in the capital would be able to catch up with the Xia family! By then, even the He family might not be worthy of carrying shoes for the Xia family!

Qiao Mei still had the "divine medicine"! As long as Qiao Mei was around, they would have a cure for any illness. Everyone would only want to further curry favor with Xia Mao. In the future, the families of the second and third sons would only lag behind more and more.

Xia Yao and his family did not care about such things. They had always maintained a clear conscience towards Xia Mao's family and Xia Jun. They could make a good life for themselves with their own hands. They only wanted their family to live harmoniously and stay out of trouble for a long time. Even after the family is split up, their relationship with Xia Mao's family would be no different from before. The third son's family should be the ones who felt most anxious!

"Father, why don't you come and live with me? I can also take good care of you," Xia Guang said as he looked at Xia Jun.

Xia Jun laughed coldly and said, "Live with you? I think what you mean is for your whole family to come and live with me! If you want me to live a few more years, then don't come and bother me! I've already found jobs for you and your sons. From now on, it's all up to you."

"But..." Xia Guang was about to say something when Xia Jun immediately interrupted him.

"That's all I have. In the future, when I'm old and I can't walk anymore, I'll go to Xia Mao's house. I don't need my two younger sons to worry about me. After the family is split up, don't trouble one another anymore. From now on, there's no more relationship between us. If you still have a conscience, you can come and pay your respects when I die. It doesn't matter if you don't come," Xia Jun said.

While everyone was immersed in the sadness of the whole situation, Zhou Luo suddenly said, "Then what about Wu Min's house? That's also the Xia family's asset, right?"

Xia Mao and Xia Yao immediately had dark expressions on their faces. It was already not appropriate for Zhou Luo to participate in the Xia family's meeting, yet she still had designs on the Xia family's assets. She was simply delusional!

"I know you'll ask about this house. When my wife was still alive, she already said that she wanted to give the house to Xia Zhe. It doesn't belong to the family anymore. It's already Xia Zhe's private property and can't be shared among everyone," Xia Jun said.

"If we don't get a share in the house, then what about the things buried underground? Don't tell me those things also belong to Xia Zhe?" Zhou Luo questioned.

Everyone looked even unhappier. When Qiao Mei first moved into the siheyuan courtyard house, the He family had already come to cause trouble once and turned the entire house upside down, but they did not manage to find anything then.
