Chapter 177 The true situation of the Qiao family!
"Dad, you're embarrassing me. I told them to rest, but you made them work."
"In this family, do my words no longer count?"
After hearing what Qiao Anbang said, Qiao Linwei stamped her feet and spoke loudly.
In fact, at this time Qiao Linwei already knew that she was wrong, but she was unwilling to admit it.
Besides, Qiao Linwei thought it would be okay to let the soldiers deal with it themselves!
Moreover, those small courtyards are not too messy and people can live there even if they are not cleaned up.
"Lin Wei, why are you being so ignorant again? Those soldiers are soldiers defending our country. We in the Qiao family must treat them well."
"This concerns the reputation of our Qiao family."
After hearing what Qiao Linwei said, Qiao Anbang stood up and said to Qiao Linwei.
Well, what Qiao Anbang cares about is the reputation of the Qiao family.
"I think, Dad, you don't want to entertain the soldiers who defend the country, but you want to entertain Uncle Sun."
"Didn't Captain Song and his men always clean up their own yards before?"
After hearing what Qiao Anbang said, Qiao Linwei said loudly.
In fact, what Qiao Linwei said was right. Qiao Anbang did it for Sun Chu to see and was also prepared to entertain Sun Chu well.
It doesn’t matter whether the yard is tidy or not.
After all, these small courtyards are maintained by servants on a daily basis and are completely suitable for living.
But why should he change to a new one? Doesn’t this just reflect how much Qiao Anbang values Sun Chu?
Even in such a short time, Qiao Anbang had done it all.
This was to make a clear statement to Sun Chu, even if the Tiger Guard Division Commander Zhou Weimin became Qiao Anbang's son-in-law.
He, Qiao Anbang, also sided with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
This may be the implicit expression of those cunning people!
"Okay, whatever you say is what it is. If you don't want to clean it, then don't clean it." Qiao Anbang said impatiently after hearing what Qiao Linwei said.
After Qiao Anbang finished speaking, he looked at Qiao Bei and asked, "Have you cleared out three of the small courtyards?"
Qiao Bei quickly said after hearing this: "Yes, Master, three of them have been cleared out of the small courtyard."
After hearing what Qiao Bei said, Qiao Anbang thought for a moment, then said to Qiao Bei, "Commander Sun, please arrange the best courtyard."
"Commander Sun's guards will be assigned a courtyard next to where Commander Sun lives."
"The courtyards of Commander Sun and his guards must have been cleaned up."
"As for the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Division, assign them to the three courtyards that have not been cleaned up."
After hearing what Qiao Anbang said, Qiao Bei nodded, then turned and walked out of the yard to make arrangements.
After Qiao Bei left.
Qiao Anbang said to Qiao Linwei, "Linwei, change your temper. Some things cannot be done according to your temper."
Qiao Anbang dotes on his only child.
But it was also because of Qiao Anbang's favor that Qiao Linwei had never suffered any hardship or been exposed to scheming since childhood.
"Dad, do you think I don't know what you want to do? Do you think I'm still a little girl?"
"Don't you just want to reassure Uncle Sun?"
"But have you ever thought about this: I'm your only daughter. After I marry Wei Min, no matter what you do, you won't be able to reassure Uncle Sun."
"Besides, Dad, you think too highly of our Qiao family. Uncle Sun doesn't care about these things at all."
"Besides, with Wei Min here, Uncle Sun and the others won't dare to do anything to you and our Qiao family."
"Even if you cut off support for the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army now, Uncle Sun won't say anything."
After hearing what Qiao Anbang said, Qiao Linwei walked to Qiao Anbang and spoke slowly.
In fact, Qiao Linwei had already guessed what Qiao Anbang meant.
Yes, Qiao Linwei was very naive when she was a child, but she has not been at the Qiao family for the past two years.
Qiao Linwei has experienced so much.
Now Qiao Linwei is no longer the little girl who knew nothing.
"It seems that my daughter has really grown up." Qiao Anbang was slightly stunned after hearing Qiao Linwei's words, and then said slowly.
Qiao Anbang really didn't expect that Qiao Linwei could guess what he was thinking.
Yes!
Just like Qiao Linwei said, Qiao Anbang only has this one daughter.
His only child was married to Zhou Weimin of the Tiger Guard Division, so no matter what he did, he could not reassure the high-ranking generals of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army!
"Dad, why don't we, the Qiao family, cut off the support from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army!"
"Look at the expressions of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. Half of the money our Qiao family earns every year goes to support the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. What a waste."
After hearing what Qiao Anbang said, Qiao Linwei thought for a while, and then said to Qiao Anbang.
In fact, Qiao Linwei had known about the relationship between her family and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army for a long time, and had also thought about breaking away from this relationship.
And now is an opportunity.
"Lin Wei, things are not as simple as you think. The Qiao family's current situation has a lot to do with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."
"Don't think that your father and Commander Yan are sworn brothers. In fact, I am the money bag of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."
"And there are many rich people like me in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, but I only have one child, a daughter."
"That's why Commander Yan became sworn brothers with me. Of course, it's also because of your father. I don't have any other thoughts."
"Commander Yan did this for others not to see."
"The Qiao family has a deep connection with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. It's impossible for the Qiao family to break away from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."
"Even if I don't want this huge family business, I can't do it."
After hearing what Qiao Linwei said, Qiao Anbang smiled bitterly, then looked at Qiao Linwei and spoke slowly.
In fact, Qiao Anbang had thought about letting the Qiao family leave the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army before, but it was just a thought.
Because Qiao Anbang knew very well that the Qiao family was tied to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
Most of the Qiao family’s business is in Jin, and they need Jinsui’s support.
Moreover, over the years, most of the shopkeepers of the Qiao family in various places were relatives of high-ranking generals of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
"Dad, I don't agree with what you said. Maybe our Qiao family had no way of breaking away from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army before."
"But now our Qiao family can break away from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, but our business will be reduced by half."
After hearing what Qiao Anbang said, Qiao Linwei was silent for a while, then said to Qiao Anbang.
In fact, Qiao Linwei dared to say this because of Zhou Weimin.
Qiao Anbang may not be very clear about the strength of the Tiger Guards, but Qiao Linwei is clear about it.
"Lin Wei, tell me what you think." Qiao Anbang was slightly stunned after hearing his daughter's words, and then said.
"Dad, actually I don't have any ideas. I just want Wei Min to help me." Qiao Linwei hesitated for a moment after hearing this and said.
"Lin Wei, do you mean to let Wei Min talk to Commander Sun and use half of our Qiao family's property in exchange for the Qiao family's separation from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army?" After hearing this, Qiao Anbang looked at Qiao Linwei and said.
At this moment, Qiao Anbang felt that his daughter had not grown up yet, because this idea was too naive.
It’s not clear whether Zhou Weimin will help or not.
Just the fact that Zhou Weimin cannot be allowed to interfere in such matters.
Zhou Weimin's intervention will only make things more troublesome.
