Chapter 608: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (Extra 1)
The later life of "Golden Young Marshal"
After Cao Shixun returned to Hai City from Beicheng, he rarely went out, and his "reputation" spread to many of his colleagues like a plague.
People who used to go to military school with him once wrote to ask Cao Shixun whether the story was true or not.
But he only read a few sentences in the letter and tore it up like trash.
"Son, it's already happened. There's no point in hiding!" Wu Wenyue had advised him many times through the door. "You were unconscious at the time. It's understandable that you would have that happen."
"Mom, don't bother me." Cao Shixun was annoyed by what he heard through the door and finally replied.
Before, because his son was in a bad mood, Cao Ce suppressed his unhappiness and tried to comfort Cao Shixun a few words, but when he saw that the other party was unwilling to leave the room, he stopped trying to persuade him.
The war escalated, and although Haicheng did not fall, the situation was not very good.
How could he care about these things when the GZ army could come at any time?
After "witnessing" his son-in-law's unreliable behavior, Xie Zongyao finally made up his mind and agreed to his daughter Xie Wanru's request to divorce Cao Shixun.
Originally, things were not going so smoothly, but who made Cao Ce short of money at this time?
Xie Zongyao directly quoted a price to Cao Ce. If he agreed, he would take his daughter home. If he disagreed, he would no longer care about his daughter.
In fact, he couldn't do anything about it.
As a businessman in troubled times, Xie Zongyao was very sensitive to wars. He didn't believe that Cao Ce could hold Hai City at all. He was even uncertain whether this man would hold on to the death. After all, there were still a few people in the north who ran away without firing a shot.
Therefore, as soon as he saw that things were not going well, Xie Zongyao had already secretly sold his properties for cash.
He had already made plans to move his family to Xiangcheng.
He was somewhat worried about his daughter Xie Wanru, so Xie Zongyao planned to take her with him if the Cao family was willing to release her.
However, what Xie Zongyao did not expect was that Cao Ce did not ask for his money.
"I can let your daughter go back to the Xie family." Cao Ce had a secret conversation with his "in-laws" in the study, "I don't want a penny from you either."
Xie Zongyao certainly wouldn't think that the other person was a good person, because free things are often the most expensive.
"So what are your conditions?" Xie Zongyao looked at Cao Ce warily, "But I have to say this beforehand. I'm just a businessman. I don't have much ability. There are some things I can't do."
Cao Ce smiled, then pushed a small box at hand to the other party: "This is a little gift from me."
Following his eye signal, Xie Zongyao opened the box and found that it was filled with many small gold bars.
"What are you doing! Are you trying to buy my life?" Xie Zongyao was scared to death by what Cao Ce did. Looking at the pistol that the other party had placed in his other hand, he instantly stood up and took a few steps back.
Cao Ce was speechless. Why was this guy running away?
Forget it. Thinking back, the other party was not wrong. Cao Ce had only extorted money from him over the years and it seemed that he had never given him any money.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" I thought so, but I had to comfort her. "I have something to ask of you. This money is your reward."
Although Xie Zongyao was not as scared as before, he still did not sit back in his previous position. He just folded his arms and looked at Cao Ce.
"I can't leave, but I hope you can help our Cao family keep a root." Cao Ce finally expressed his selfish desires.
As soon as Xie Zongyao heard what Cao Ce said, he probably knew what the other party wanted him to do!
But he also had his own considerations: "I can't take so many people with me. Your Cao family has so many children and is so blessed. It seems that no one of them would be suitable for me to take with me."
As the saying goes, "The youngest son is the lifeblood of the old lady, and the eldest grandson is the lifeblood of the old lady"!
Although Cao Ce was not an old lady, he had both a younger son and an older grandson.
"Just three people!" Cao Ce had already decided on the candidates, "One adult and two children. Just come and pick them up the night before you leave."
"Okay!" Now that things have come to this, Xie Zongyao certainly can't refuse anymore. After all, the gun in his hand has not been put down.
After discussing this matter that day, Xie Zongyao took his daughter back to the Xie family, and then secretly bought three more boat tickets.
But he didn't tell anyone about this. Even three days later, when Xie Zongyao secretly picked up someone from Cao's house, he put them in a house outside.
The big and two small ones didn't even enter the Xie family.
