Chapter 3 Brother and Sister Fight for Family Property
"Li Zapo, you, an illegitimate daughter, want to share the property of our Li family? It's just a daydream!"
"Snapped!"
A loud slap hit the eldest son's face.
"Li Li, you, you..."
Tang Qing saw the tall woman throw away her hand and give her eldest son a slap in the face. His blank mind was instantly filled with surprise.
This tall woman named Li Li is Tang Qing's classmate. From kindergarten to elementary school, from junior high school to high school, the two have been in the same class.
Li Li is the same age as Tang Qing. She was born in the late 1960s, her zodiac sign is Rooster, and she is thirty-one years old this year.
Li Li is the garden flower in kindergarten, primary school, junior high school and high school, while Tang Qing is just an ordinary school plant.
Li Li was now standing in front of Tang Qing, a head taller than her, which made Tang Qing feel oppressed.
"Master Jiujin, please don't get involved in our family's private affairs and get out of here!"
The younger son came over and pushed Tang Qing.
"You didn't let me go just now. You insisted on me staying to testify. Now you are driving me away. This, this..."
Tang Qing looked at Li Li, a little embarrassed.
"Master Jiujin, just now, now is now. You finish your work and leave quickly. We thank you for shaving my father's vagina."
The eldest son recommended Tang Qing.
"Oh, I haven't given Master Jiujin any money yet. Boss, how about half of it for each of us?"
The younger son suggested.
"No problem, Master Jiujin, what's the market in Yancheng now? How much does it cost to shave your pubic head?"
The eldest son took his wallet out of his trouser pocket and held it in his hand, but did not open it.
"No, no need..."
Tang Qing declined.
In Yancheng, it is unlucky to give a haircut to a person who is about to die. The host will usually give a big red envelope to the barber to remove bad luck, which is called "good luck money".
"Master Jiujin, you're welcome, it's as much as you want. Boss, let's each give Master Jiujin twenty yuan. The old man asked her by name to come over and shave her vagina. It shows that Master Jiujin's skills are good and we should give him more.
She's a little bit more."
As the younger son spoke, he dug out a twenty-yuan note from his trouser pocket and handed it to Tang Qing.
"Okay, Master Jiujin, I'll give you the money."
The eldest son also took out a twenty-yuan note from his wallet and handed it to Tang Qing.
"It's really not necessary. Mr. Li paid for the haircut for the whole year in one lump sum."
Tang Qing did not accept the two twenty-yuan notes.
"My father has already paid? Okay, you go slowly!"
The eldest son collected the money and pushed Tang Qing out.
"Master Jiujin, please wait."
The younger son called Tang Qing to stop.
"Second brother, you'd better tell Master Jiujin to leave quickly to avoid causing more trouble. By the way, Master Jiujin, be more strict with your mouth when you go out, and don't say nonsense that you shouldn't!"
"Boss, since the old man paid for haircuts for the whole year at once, and it's only been more than half a year, should the remaining months' money be returned to us? Master Jiujin, what do you think?"
"I……"
"Master Jiujin, my second son is right. How much did my father pay in advance for a haircut?"
"this……"
"Master Jiujin, as a craftsman you must be honest and upright, and the amount is what it is. In this way, you can take one month off, and it will be considered as your profit."
"you……"
Tang Qing didn't know how to explain it.
"Qingtuan, you can't go back tonight no matter what. You don't have a clear account of this, and they won't let you go. Besides, I also need you to testify for me here."
Li Li took Tang Qing's hair-shaving box.
"Li Zapo, don't have such wishful thinking! If it weren't for the outsiders, I would have given you a lot of trouble!"
"That is, who do you think you are? What kind of testimony did she give as an outsider? An illegitimate daughter is an illegitimate daughter, and you still want to marry her? Humph!"
"Snapped!"
The "hum" from the youngest son's nostrils was not complete, and a loud slap hit his face.
"Why do you hit my Li Cheng?"
"Li Zhong just hit me and I haven't settled the score with you yet!"
The two daughters-in-law of the Li family came to attack Li Li.
"I'm still beating you!"
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
With two crisp sounds, Li Li opened her bow from left to right and slapped each of the two women with a big slap.
"you?!"
The two sons and two wives froze on the spot with their mouths wide open.
"What are you doing? Do you want another slap? Okay, I'll give each of you a slap on the other side to balance it out!"
Li Li raised her hand.
"Calm down, calm down."
Tang Qing stopped Li Li.
"You go aside to cool down first, and then you can testify for me properly!"
Li Li stretched out her raised hand to push Tang Qing away.
"I'd better go back. You should take care of Mr. Li's funeral affairs first, and then divide the family property in a calm manner. Don't let each other be harmed."
Tang Qing picked up her hair-shaving box and left.
"Master Jiu Jin, please walk slowly. I will come to your barber shop with my brother to refund the money my father paid for the haircut in advance when I am free in a few days."
The eldest son still hopes that Tang Qing will leave.
"Qingtuan, you must stay and bear witness!"
Li Li called to Tang Qing to stop.
"Testify? We are all here and everything is clear. Do we need her to testify?"
"We, the Li family, can handle matters concerning our Li family by ourselves. We don't need her, an outsider, to give any nonsense testimony!"
"She said it's useless to break the law. We would rather divide the property equally than give you a cent!"
"Boss, let's not fight anymore, let's divide it equally!"
"Okay, that's it!"
"Master Jiujin, why don't you leave? Is it useful for you to testify for her in front of us? Will we listen to you?"
"Master Jiujin, don't listen to her nonsense, she is completely insane!"
The two sons pushed Tang Qing to go out.
"You don't have to worry about whether her testimony is of any use. Someone will naturally listen to her."
Li Li blocked the door to prevent Tang Qing from leaving.
"Jingle Bell……"
Li Li's cell phone rang.
"Hey, are you at the gate? Okay, I'll come out to pick you up."
Li Li walked out of the old man's room, turned around and warned her two brothers:
"Just wait for me, everything will be decided by the law!"
"Law? What is she going to do?"
"Don't worry about her, let's quickly take stock of the old man's belongings."
"We have already calculated it, and the total deposit is 3.5 million."
"There are also these two boxes of gold and jade articles."
"The old man has sorted it out by himself?"
"I guess I feel like I'm about to die, so I prepared these bankbooks, gold items, and jades for us to distribute in advance."
"The deposit amount should be about the same, but the gold and jade items should be more than this."
"Yes, our family used to be one of the largest households in Yancheng. It is impossible that we only have such a few gold and jade items."
"You two, search quickly and don't miss any corner."
"When you were arguing with that bastard just now, my sister-in-law and I had already searched every corner and found nothing."
"My brothers and sisters have even checked the urinal. It's true that it's not there. Do you think this old man has Alzheimer's disease? In what age are you still using this broken urinal? Hey, it really stinks!"
The eldest daughter-in-law picked up an earthen pot and urinal in front of the bed, leaned close to the mouth of the pot and looked inside, for fear that the younger daughter-in-law might conceal the truth.
"Since the old man has sorted out his bankbooks and gold utensils, these must be the only ones. Even if there are other hard currencies, he has hidden them, so we can't find them. In this way, second brother, the eldest brother will have more money than you after all.
I have to pay more for this family than you. I have two-thirds of the family property and you have one-third. How about that?"
"Brother, you are talking about a quarrel. Didn't you just say that we two brothers should share equally? Besides, I have already given in. Otherwise, let's just do the other way around, two-thirds for me and one-third for you."
"That is, we have been away from home all the time, and we have clearly counted the meals and grains we eat at this house. Logically, we should inherit all the family property."
"Brothers and sisters, do you have the nerve to say this? You haven't come back to see the old man for decades, and you still want to inherit all the family property? Based on your behavior, it's OK not to give you any of the family property!"
"you?!"
"What do I do? Want to do something?!"
"What's wrong with taking action? Am I afraid of you?"
"Do you want to do it? Try it! Try it!"
The two daughters-in-law were at war with each other. They were so calm just now and did not participate in the quarrel with Li Li because they were rummaging through boxes and cabinets in search of the old man's hard currency.
"I asked you, can you calm down? Mr. Li is still lying there. It's important to take care of his funeral. No matter what, the deceased is the most important, so he must be allowed into the central hall first."
Tang Qing really couldn't stand it.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
"Come on, we won't miss you the money!"
The old man's two sons came over to push Tang Qing.
"She can't leave!"
Li Li returned to the old man's room, followed by more than a dozen people, including uniformed police officers.
