Xu Erya brought the gold home, and as soon as she sat down inside the house, she began to ponder how to get Old Madam to agree to the family division.
She thought over and over until she finally came up with a plan.
Although the plan was somewhat unsavory and would cause Xu Zhiyong to suffer a little, it would ultimately enable a smooth family division and also let the villagers see the true colors of Old Madam and the Eldest branch.
At this time, Anning was talking with Old Madam.
"Mother, let's wait a little longer before we talk about dividing the family. Just yesterday, I had a quarrel with my sister-in-law. If we talk about division now, the Second and Third branches will inevitably think that I instigated this, and they might get angry at me."
Old Madam thought that what Anning said made sense, so she nodded: "Alright, Mother will listen to you."
Only then did Anning smile and pick up her embroidery work.
