The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space Chapter 2359: Thirty Years (3)

"Madam, are you saying..." Du Chengxiu's eyes abruptly widened in shock.
"The Du Family owns merchant ships and docks in Quanzhou, plus numerous shops, and even a Mulberry Garden. It's such a shame to let these assets slip into someone else's grasp..."
Du Chengxiu stared intently at Yang Ruxin, paused for a moment, then smacked his thigh hard: "Xinxin, just tell us what you plan to do, and we'll follow your lead. Father and son will give it everything we've got."
"You all know that since I purchased you, I've never seen you as mere servants." Yang Ruxin remarked while setting two Selling Covenants on the table, "Yunpeng and Du Man received theirs upon marriage, and these belong to you and Aunt Ye."
"What are you getting at?" Du Chengxiu furrowed his brow lightly.
"My point is, you must seize back the Du Family assets on your own." Yang Ruxin grinned, "I'll supply the funds to assist, but it's not without cost." With that, she pivoted and passed two documents over, "Head back, talk it over with Aunt Ye and Brother Yunpeng, and if you're on board, just sign them."
Du Chengxiu skimmed the contract, his nose stinging as tears threatened to spill; Xinxin was obviously aiding them deeply—after all, the Du Family's properties no longer tied to them, so even reclaiming them, she could claim everything outright, yet here she was...
"I can't hand over Little Qingqing’s Selling Covenant just yet; she hasn't completed her trial. Once she comes back, she'll serve me two more years before freedom. Can't train her without compensation, right?" Yang Ruxin appeared oblivious to Du Chengxiu's reddened eyes, "Get going quickly; I'm eager for your reply."
With eyes still red, Du Chengxiu stepped out and promptly gathered his wife, son, daughter-in-law, daughter, and son-in-law to share Yang Ruxin's proposal.
"Dad, I'll follow your lead." Excitement bubbled inside Du Yunpeng. He harbored grudges against the Du Family's second and third branches. Before, he lacked the power, but now with it, he burned to return and take back their rightful share.
"Dad understands how you feel." Du Chengxiu grinned, "Xinxin likely does as well. If you're set on it, then let's proceed." He pulled out an agreement, "Madam handed this to me; it's clearly been ready for a while. If agreeable, sign and move forward."
Du Man and Shangguan Fei voiced their full backing for Du Chengxiu and Du Yunpeng's choice.
Du Yunpeng snatched it up, scanned quickly, then jolted in astonishment and gazed up: "Fifty percent? Thirty years?"
Du Chengxiu nodded affirmatively: "Xinxin's plan means in thirty years, you'll have steadied the Du Family. Then, she'll withdraw completely, though Du and Yang Families remain eternal kin and allies. Naturally, if mismanagement occurs by then, proving your inadequacy, she'll intervene and shift Du Family assets to the Yangs."
"These are fortunes from our previous lives' good deeds." Aunt Ye sniffed emotionally.
Du Yunpeng's eyes reddened as well.
"But Dad, leaving madam behind pains me." Du Juan nibbled her lip as tears streamed down. After years of drifting with her father, madam had brought her true joy, and now facing real separation left her heart hollow.
"We're heading to Quanzhou for madam's sake." Du Yunpeng clasped his wife's hand, "We'll build a flawless intelligence network there, rake in more silver for bigger dividends to madam—what could be better?"
