Chapter 494: Settlement of Accounts and Division of Family Property
My mother really fell down this time. She was filled with fear, regret, regret and anger. All kinds of emotions were mixed together, so that she really fell ill in bed this time...
Claude presided over Adele's cremation ceremony at the Anna Ranch, then handed the ashes to his younger brothers Blovik and Climiso, and arranged for the big man Germi to take four guards to escort them to Cromwell State. The three-hundred-acre farm that Soft left to his children. After finishing all this, Claude rushed back to Field Manor in Lanhu City, went to see his mother, and told her all the consequences of the letter he wrote to Adele...
At first, her mother thought Claude was joking, but Claude's stern expression made her understand that everything he said was true. The mother broke out, first hysterically cursing the dead Adele, and then crying and begging Claude to bring her most beloved son Blovik to her. She would try her best to beg Blovik. Ke's forgiveness, and vowed never to arrange any blind dates for him again, and promised to make his own decision on his marriage...
Claude just watched his mother wailing, begging, and scolding in front of him expressionlessly, no matter how much she showed pain, he was indifferent. After his mother finished venting, Claude told her coldly that it was too late. Everyone must be responsible for what they do. What you sow will bear fruit. His younger brother Blovik no longer listened to his elder brother's words. He vowed that he would never appear in front of his mother again in this life...
It was you who personally severed the family bond between mother and son, forcing Blovik to cut off his blood ties with the Field family. And all this is just for the face of the so-called illusory Field family, and for you to be qualified to show off yourself in front of those noble ladies. Now you have your wish. The Field family has truly become a joke in the overseas dominions. The head of the family abandoned his surname and went into self-exile. This matter will soon become a hot topic on the streets...
Claude's merciless words made her mother tremble, and she suddenly became angry and angry at Claude: "Is it you, is it you who forced my little Booker to leave for the sake of being the head of the family..." . ... "
Claude sneered: "Sorry, mother, I have to tell you one thing when I come back this time. I will not become the head of the Field family. Since you take the Field family so seriously, I will leave the Field family to you." Play. It doesn’t matter to me who you make as the head of the family. I will divide the family property clearly during this period. For me, as long as I have the ability, I can create a family by myself... "
Perhaps Claude's words stimulated her mother too much, and she finally collapsed.
Sister Anna returned to the manor with a cold face to diagnose and treat her mother, and then told everyone that there was nothing wrong with the old lady's health. She had taken good care of herself in the overseas autonomous territories in the past few years. After all, she was Claude's mother, one of those powerful people in the area. After taking a lot of the tonics she was sent, she could live for another twenty or thirty years, as long as she didn't think too hard about it.
Now my mother is suffering from heart disease, and she is worried because the Field family has really lost face this time. She was upset because what she did this time was too hasty and excessive. She wrote a letter to scold a pregnant woman who was about to give birth just to feel comfortable. This caused serious consequences and left people with the impression that the mother was mean, stingy and narrow-minded. She regretted it because she lost her youngest son, and the breakup of mother and son, severing the blood relationship, was the most unexpected result for her.
In addition, the mother is even more angry. She is angry that the younger son has ignored her kindness to bring him up through all the hardships since childhood, and cut off the relationship between mother and son for the sake of a lowly shepherdess, even worse than the dog she raised. At the same time, he was also angry at Claude for being unfilial. As the elder brother of Little Booker, he not only did not take the initiative to help the family solve Little Booker's problem, he also used this to coerce his mother, treating the change of the head of the family as a child's play, and treating the position of the head of the family as nothing. Broken shoes are like...
As for what his mother thinks, Claude doesn't care at all. He is a time traveler, and family ties are inherently weak. His gratitude to his parents is not as good as the brother-sister relationship he grew up with his sister Anna and brother Blovik, so he has always stood by his side. On the side of sister Anna and brother Blovik. Coupled with the concept of clan that did not exist in his previous life in his memory, he is not like people in this world who regard the family as bigger than the sky. It really doesn't matter to him whether he is the head of the Field family or not.
However, Claude had very complicated feelings about Kaifuni. After all, she gave him three children, who were his bloodline inheritance in this other world. It's just that he is soul-piercing, and this body still belongs to the original owner, so Claude sometimes can't figure out whether these three children are really his own blood or the blood of the original owner. But there is no doubt that the pleasure of communicating with Kaifani at a negative distance was enjoyed by himself, and he could only bear the responsibility of being a father.
Fortunately, Kaifani also knew that her refusal to adopt the two children left behind by Adele had caused great dissatisfaction to Claude. She cooperated with Claude very obediently to count and divide all the family property, and handed over All the shares that Claude had previously asked her to manage. Claude left only 30% of the shares of the family tobacco manufacturing workshop to the Field family, as well as the 1,500-acre farm in Cromwell State, and the Field Manor in Lanhu City.
In fact, all of this is Claude's personal property. Without Claude, the Field family would not be able to gain a foothold in the overseas dominions. It's a pity that my mother was so overwhelmed by the flattery of those noble ladies that she really thought that the Field family was a famous family in the overseas dominions, but she didn't expect that this family was still founded on the beach. Once something happens to Claude and the big wave hits, the entire Field family will be submerged in the turbulent waves.
If his mother hadn't committed suicide, Claude would have followed his own plan and used a generation's efforts to make the Field family a truly famous family in the Faslan world. Take Mike, for example. He is also a person without a surname. He was born a street boy and has forgotten his surname. I used to think about going back to my hometown in the Kingdom one day to find out what my last name should be, but if I stay in the Dominion for more than ten years, it doesn't matter whether I have a surname or not.
Claude originally wanted McJack to also have the surname Field and become a branch of the family. With him being his brother-in-law, this makes sense. There is no need to think about anything now. Maijack will either send people to his hometown to check the surname, or simply choose another surname and establish a new family. With his sister Anna helping him take charge, McJack's family may even develop better than the Field family. Thinking of this, Claude always felt as if the cabbage he had grown by himself was eaten by a wild boar.
There is also a plan to recruit retainers, and Claude needs to think about it carefully. Whether he is accepting retainers for himself or for the Field family. Just like in the past two days of settling accounts, the old butler Yaric and the first retainer Sergeant Kester made it clear that they wanted to follow Claude, not the Field family. This makes Kaifani very uncomfortable, because now she is handling the affairs of the Field family.
However, after the settlement and division of the family property, Kaifani found that the Field family had nothing to take care of. The Field Manor was managed by the eldest son of the old butler Alec, and Piano, a retired veteran, was also arranged at the farm. The Field family of the tobacco manufacturing factory only has a 30% dividend left. The old butler Yarrick and Sergeant Kuster will next be responsible to their sister Anna.
Claude allocated 30% of the shares in the tobacco manufacturing workshop to his younger sisters Anna and Blovik. From now on, his younger brother Blovik's shares will also be taken over by his younger sister Anna. And Anna will stay at Anna's ranch for the next three or four years to take care of her son and the twins left by Adele. In the past few years, she will not be able to go to the Blackstone Gun Manufacturing Workshop to help Claude conduct experiments and experiments on new weapons. Researched.
Claude transferred the rest of the shares to his sister Anna to help him take care of it. To a certain extent, Claude trusted his sister the most. Only sister Anna would not hesitate to take out the money when Claude needed it without asking the reason. This was unlike Caifuni, who was very concerned about the income from the shares she handed over when settling the accounts. Reluctant to part with it, she kept reminding Claude that he had three children. This may be a mother's instinct. She wanted to accumulate a lot of wealth for her children's future so that they could be wealthy and have food and clothing for their entire lives.
This is the limitation of Kaifani's vision, coming from a small family. What she doesn't understand is that the future of their children depends on how far Claude can go, rather than how much wealth she has accumulated. How many. Otherwise, without Claude, their children would not be able to keep their property at all, and would only be torn into pieces by those greedy wolves...
Claude is also tired of Kaifni constantly nagging Blackstone Gunsmith's bills in his ear, because Blackstone Gunsmith's has so far been able to balance its income and expenses. The main reason is that Claude invested a lot of money in the development of new weapons. This expenditure accounted for the largest income, and sometimes Claude had to pay for the shortfall out of his own pocket.
In the past, Claude handed over all the shares he held to Kaifni to take care of. The other shares received huge dividends every year, but the Blackstone Gun Manufacturing Workshop always suffered losses. Kaifuni didn't understand the importance of this weapons production base to Claude. She was always worried that the expenses of this black stone gun manufacturing workshop were greater than the benefits, and she repeatedly proposed to go there to check the bills or transfer the black stone gun manufacturing workshop to it. resell it...
Now he's fine, he's fine, and Claude's ears can be quiet. As for whether Kaifani is disappointed or not, that's her own business. Since you want to play with the Field family, then play as much as you can. She and her mother still didn't understand that the Field family without Claude was nothing. Claude has decided to find a place to live in Lanhu City again, and let his mother and Kaifni see how many people will come to visit Field Manor if he doesn't go back...
Of course, this is also Claude's selfish intention. He is going to find a love nest for himself and Sheila, so as not to bring Sheila back to Field Manor to cause any family conflicts. But I still have to go home every once in a while to see and stay for a few days. After all, I still have my three children there.
Next, Claude plans to buy a personal property for each of his sister and brother. His sister Anna only has one ranch, which she and Michael bought together. Although Claude contributed some money, he will not occupy it. half. So he decided to purchase nearly 10,000 acres of barren hills surrounding the ranch and convert it into a forest farm. At the same time, he found a small gold mine for his sister Anna in the Rocky Mountain State, and counted it as the dowry he gave her.
The same is true for his younger brother Blovik. He gave up the surname Field, which can be said to be nothing. Claude must find him an estate and a small gold mine to leave him a memory. Even if he gets older in the future, there will be a place waiting for him to return. Regardless of whether Blovik will remarry in the future, having this property there will not disappoint the woman. Even if Blovik doesn't want it, it can still be left to his and Adele's children...
In addition, Claude also wanted to leave a share of the property to Lady Sonia. Although his illegitimate son Malex was going to inherit Master Bird's family, as his father, he had to make a show of it. And Mrs. Sonia has helped Claude so much and never asked for anything from Claude. If she didn't, it meant that Claude didn't need to pay, and the property still had to be purchased.
Blovik gave up the name of the Field family and went into self-exile. This incident indeed caused an uproar in Lanhu City and the Dominion. Fortunately, Claude held a high position, so no one dared to publish this incident in the newspapers, so it was mentioned in pubs or private parties, and it became a popular rumor among the people. Sometimes they were transformed into fictional families, and Blovik and Adele became legendary tragic love figures. Claude could only pretend to be deaf and dumb as if he heard nothing.
However, Claude's search for another residence in Lanhu City alarmed General Skerry. He brought two bottles of good wine to visit and asked in a roundabout way why Claude did this. Claude didn't hide it from him and told him his original intention. The main purpose was to let his mother and wife learn a lesson. At the same time, he also said that he refused to be the head of the Field family, so it was better to live farther away... ...
General Skerry gave Claude an address, which was in the western suburbs of Lanhu City, diagonally opposite the high-end villa area where Field Manor is now located. The land where this address is located was first purchased by General Skerry. Originally, he wanted to get a manor for his family who had moved to overseas territories, but later the war zone reorganized Lanhu New City and built a high-end villa area. General Skerry was also assigned a villa manor. His family had a small population, so the newly built manor on that land was vacant.
Since Claude needs it, General Skerry is willing to transfer it at the original price. Now that the house prices in Lanhu City have increased several times, Claude certainly didn't want to take advantage of General Skerry. He bargained for a long time before closing the deal at 20% off the market price. By the time I finished all these chores, a month had passed. Sheila, who was in Cromwell State, took the guard team to protect her and ran directly to Lanhu City. She happened to be sent by Claude to build and renovate the manor where she was the hostess.
Compared with Claude's family, Sheila prefers mountains and forests, and the western suburbs of Lanhu City are a hilly terrain composed of six or seven hills, lined with green trees, surrounded by streams, and the environment is quiet and elegant. The only drawback is that it is far away from the center of Lanhu City, but it is still relatively leisurely. Seeing that Sheila liked this place, Claude simply spent money to buy the entire hilltop area where the land was located, and planned to use it all to plant fruit trees and herbs that Sheila liked.
In addition to the manor built on the land by General Skerry, there are more than a dozen holiday villas or small vacation manors built by wealthy people from overseas autonomous territories or famous local families on this hilltop. However, since Claude wanted to buy it, they would not deny it. They simply sold their villa and manor to Claude, and then bought another piece of land on a nearby hilltop to build a villa and manor... . ...
It's very simple. If General Claude wants to settle here, then they need to be near the water, first come first, and become neighbors with General Claude. There is a bond of buying and selling land, so as a neighbor who comes to visit or entertain General Claude, he will not fail to give him this honor. As a result, as soon as the news came out, the land price on this hillock tripled. Even General Albert came to join in the fun and bought a piece of land on the hilltop near Claude, preparing to build a holiday villa and Claude keeps company.
Perhaps because she and Claude were separated for more than ten years, Sheila is more obsessed with Claude, and Claude also dotes on his first love Sheila. Even Sheila agreed to build a high tower on the top of the mountain. . However, Claude didn't want people to know that it was a mage tower at a glance, so he drew a picture of the ancient tower in his previous life, with five floors in total and cornices and brackets. It could be used as the landmark of this small hill in the future.
One time, Sheila even got a military uniform, modified it into a women's style, and insisted on following Claude to work at the theater headquarters. As a result, General Albert saw it. He was stunned for a while and gave a thumbs up, then turned around and ran away. Then three days later, General Albert showed up at the theater headquarters with two female soldiers, saying that the two women were his personal adjutants. But looking at their close looks, everyone knows what this life means...
Claude was even called to give a severe scolding by General Bolognik for this, who said he was the instigator. Sheila was still unconvinced, thinking that her combat effectiveness was no weaker than Claude's guards, so what was wrong with being a female soldier. Claude had a hard time saying that this era was dominated by men and was not open to the public. The appearance of female soldiers in the army would only make people think bad things. If Sheila insisted on following him in the future, she would have to disguise herself as a man.
More than three months have passed since Claude finished the chores at home, bought personal properties for his sister and brother, and moved into his new house. In September, bad news came from the Kingdom itself. Because it could not reach an agreement on the loan debt with the Kingdom of Nasseri, the Kingdom of Nasseri claimed that the Kingdom of Ovilas had violated its promise and defaulted on its debt. The Kingdom of Orvilas launched an attack, and war once again came to the kingdom itself.
