Tao Cifeng saw that Tao Mingxue was silent, so she raised her hand to signal the other brothers and sisters to stop talking.
"Big Brother knows it very well. He knows it better than we do," Tao Cifeng said. "We don't need to say or ask more questions. Even if he doesn't think for himself, he will think for Tao An and the other two brothers. "
Tao Mingxue had three sons. The oldest was almost 50 years old, and the youngest was 42. They were all in the prime of their lives.
If everything ended now, wouldn't it be a little too early?
Tao Mingxue was already seventy-six years old. He had truly reached the age where he had no desires. It was rare for people to reach eighty years old. Although they were all martial arts experts who could prolong their lives, eighty years old was not considered old to them.
But in the entire human world, 80 was indeed a rare number. Whether it was now or in ancient times, people who could live to 80 years old were not few, but not many either.
Even if people's living conditions were better now, and people were living longer, 70 or 80 years old was still an age where people should celebrate their birthday.
From this point of view, it could be seen that Tao Mingxue was already an old man.
What was there to be competitive about in old age?
Some things could not be taken with you when you were born. Tao Mingxue had already seen through this at his age.
But he could not see through his children and grandchildren. 40 or 50 years old was the time when people's desire for power was strong!
This could be seen from Tao Wucha. Although Tao Wucha was the aunt of Tao An's generation, she was only in her fifties.
If even she was so reluctant to give up the power in her hands, how could Tao An and the others tolerate the loss of power in their hands? They could not tolerate it. They absolutely could not tolerate it.
"I know what you want me to do," Tao Mingxue said. "It's nothing more than letting me, the older brother, take the lead."
Tao Qianhu smiled. "Big Brother, you are the big brother to all of us. We will listen to you. Even if the Third Brother is the head of the Tao family, I think he should listen to you when it comes to matters between us brothers."
"I agree," Tao Wucha said. "He is the younger brother in front of Big Brother. There are some things he has to listen to."
"I'm afraid that at this critical moment, he won't acknowledge me as much as you think." Tao Mingxue shook his head helplessly.
"Then there's nothing we can do about it. Even if we agree to it, I'm afraid Third Brother won't be able to handle it, right?" Tao Hewu said.
Before Tao Mingxue could say anything, Ceramic Phoenix said, "Of course he can't. This is no longer something he can decide. We support Big Brother. Whatever Big Brother says, it's up to him."
"Big Brother, you have to be fair in this matter. You can't be too biased towards your own family just because of Tao An and his brothers." Tao Wucha seemed to have already seen the result of victory.
They were looking forward to dividing up the Tao Family's possessions!
Divide it all up, and leave nothing behind! The clay figurine was already dead, so what else did they need? Was he really going to give it to Tao Yinan?
Dream on, don't even think about it. Even their two aunts, who were also women, would not agree.
The Tao Family could never be handed over to someone like her to control. That would truly be a tragedy for the Tao Family.
"If Third Brother really wants Tao Yinan to control the family, then where should we go? Big Brother, you have to think carefully. " Ceramic Phoenix said, "We'll all listen to your arrangements. It's nothing more than leaving a way out for our children."
"That's right, Big Brother. If Tao Yinan is in power, she won't leave any way out for our children." As Tao Hewu spoke, he took out a cigarette and lit it.
Tao Mingxue glanced at him. "If you want to smoke, go outside."
Tao Hewu was startled. He looked around and saw no ashtray, so he unceremoniously put out the cigarette in the Nine-Headed Yong Mei's teacup!
Based on the price of this tea set, this teacup was at least a million yuan, and that was the price from more than a decade ago!
Tao Mingxue couldn't help but frown, but he couldn't say anything. Tao Hewu was such a boor!
"I support everyone to divide the Tao Family's possessions equally. We'll all be in charge of the Tao Family. At worst, when we old bones die, it'll be up to the children to fight over it." Tao Wucha smiled. "That'll depend on their own abilities."
Tao Wucha's words clearly had a selfish motive.
She was the youngest of the siblings. Other than Tao Qianhu, who was only a year older than her, the youngest Tao Hewu was seven or eight years older than her.
And she and Tao Mingxue were seventeen or eighteen years apart!
What kind of concept was that? Tao Mingxue had died more than ten years earlier than him!
Tao Mingxue glanced at Tao Wucha. "When I'm a hundred years old, will you help your three nephews?"
"Of course." Tao Wucha didn't even think about it. She had no intention of helping, so there was no need to think about it. She was already being polite by not stealing from them!
Tao Mingxue saw that she answered so quickly, and a cold smile appeared on his face. "Since ancient times, people's hearts have been the most unpredictable …"
Tao Wucha only came back to her senses when she heard this. "Big Brother, what do you mean? You make it sound like I have a selfish motive! "
"I didn't say that." Tao Mingxue smiled. "Don't take it personally."
Tao Wucha's expression changed when she heard this. He was just short of naming her. Could they still play nicely?
"Wucha, Big Brother didn't mean that." Tao Feng raised a hand to signal for her younger sister to stop talking nonsense. If they started fighting before they even started their plan, then what was the point of it?
Tao Wucha suppressed her anger. "Second Sister, I'll give you face and take Big Brother's words as' child's talk carries no harm. 'But if he continues to bully me like this, then don't blame me for not respecting the old and loving the young."
Tao Qianhu smiled and eased his emotions. "Don't say it like you know what it means to respect the old and loving the young. You've never respected me."
Tao Wucha didn't have a good temper when facing this older brother who was only a year older than her. "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."
"Alright, we didn't come here to fight!" Tao Ewu said. "I believe Big Brother has already made his decision. Let's listen to him now!"
Since they were here, they wanted to conspire.
So Tao Wucha wasn't going to turn hostile just because of a few words.
When she heard Tao Ewu's words, she didn't say anything else. As long as Tao Mingxue could give them a satisfactory answer, then she didn't care about what had just happened.
"I won't let Long Qing do whatever he wants." Tao Mingxue felt like he only needed to make things clear.
"And then?"
"Then it's up to us," Tao Mingxue said calmly. "I can't guarantee anything, and neither can you."
Tao Wucha was stunned. Clearly, she wasn't satisfied with this answer at all.
"Then what are you going to say to him?" Tao Feng didn't seem satisfied with her brother's answer either.
Tao Mingxue shook his head. "I don't need to talk to him. He'll talk to me."
"Big Brother, I'm afraid this isn't very kind of you." Tao Qianhu narrowed his eyes.
"Are you trying to see how much Third Brother can give you?" Tao Ewu snorted. "Big Brother, you're being a bit of a fence-sitter."
Tao Mingxue slowly shook his head. "It's not what you think. I have my own plans."
Tao Wucha was the first to lose it. She stood up and said goodbye. "Then I hope Big Brother can give us a share of your plans!"
