"Master Jiujin, did you really hear the old man's last words clearly?"
The lawyer asked Tang Qing.
"Master Li leaned on my chest and left. Of course I heard it clearly."
Tang Qing replied.
"This will make things easier. Master Jiujin, please tell me the old man's last words in full."
The lawyer opened his briefcase, took out paper, pen and tape recorder, and prepared to record.
"No rush, no rush."
Tang Qing stepped back.
"Master Jiujin, we're about to start a fight, why don't you say you're not in a hurry? Come, come and sit down."
The young policeman greeted Tang Qing.
"Comrade police, I think this is really not urgent. It is more important to take care of Mr. Li's funeral."
Tang Qing stood there.
"Master Jiujin, you have to say it right away. My brother and I want to hear what the old man means. He didn't even write a will. He had to wait for you to come over before he would talk about the division of the family property. It's really weird.
Got it!"
"Master Jiujin, you have also seen that my father was speechless at that time and only held out three fingers. How will this family property be divided?"
Li Zhong and Li Cheng were a little nervous when they heard Tang Qing say in front of the police and lawyers that they clearly heard the old man's last words.
"Do you still need to ask how the family property will be divided? Didn't the old man hold out three fingers? It means that all the family property will be given to my third daughter. Qingtuan, don't you think so?"
Li Li was very happy that Tang Qing was willing to testify.
"Li Zapo, are you still shameless? I'll give you all the family property? Do you think our two sons don't exist?"
The youngest son Li Cheng jumped up immediately.
"Second brother, don't worry. It is an eternal truth that sons inherit family property. Daughters are just water thrown away by married people. What's more, she is an illegitimate daughter, so she is qualified to share the family property with us!"
The eldest son Li Zhong said slowly, his eyes deliberately glanced at the neighborhood committee director Liu, the lawyer and the young policeman.
"In what age are you now? You are still an intellectual. This is a complete fallacy!"
Director Liu glanced at Li Cheng with disdain, wondering how this university professor could actually say such a thing.
The old man's two sons are both well educated. After graduating from the master's school, the old man first taught in a middle school in Shancheng, and later went to the mainland. He is now a professor at a higher vocational college in the mainland. He is fifty-nine years old and is about to retire.
"Mr. Li Zhong, I remind you again that you cannot insult Ms. Li Li like this. We reserve the right to pursue your legal responsibility. At the same time, I tell you that the law clearly stipulates that men and women have equal inheritance rights. That is to say, whether it is a son or a daughter, a daughter also
Regardless of whether you are married or unmarried, you all have equal rights when inheriting your parents’ inheritance.”
The lawyer warned Li Zhong.
"Insult? Don't accuse her randomly. The actress who gave birth to her was just my old man's concubine. Her reputation is not justified. Isn't she an illegitimate daughter? I tell you, I also know the law!"
Li Zhong was told to lower his head by Director Liu and the lawyer, and Li Cheng came over to refute the lawyer.
When Li Cheng was eight years old, the old man sent him to a private school in the provincial capital, where he continued to work until he graduated from college. Now he is a researcher at a research institution in the provincial capital. He is fifty-one years old this year.
Brothers Li Zhong and Li Cheng look elegant and elegant. They both wear glasses and have a tall and thin figure that looks like an intellectual.
"Li Cheng, don't speak so harshly. Li Li and Mr. Li are in the same household registration book, and the relationship written on it is clearly that they are daughters. But how many times have you two come back to see Mr. Li throughout the year? Once for several years.
Didn’t you come back? Master Li was seriously ill this time, so you rushed back after learning that he was dying, right?"
Director Liu questioned Li Cheng.
"We are usually busy with work, so do we have time to come back and see the old man?"
"Busy at work? Is it difficult to come back for the New Year and the holidays? Nowadays, transportation is so convenient, and it only takes more than an hour to get here from the provincial capital. Is this your reason? No wonder Mr. Li only fills in his own and family information every time.
Li Li, you two sons were not filled in at all."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Are you trying to deprive us of our right to inherit as sons?"
Li Zhong and Li Cheng became anxious when they heard what Liu Juhua, director of the neighborhood committee, said.
"I didn't mean that. I just assisted the police station to resolve family disputes. At the same time, I was entrusted by Mr. Li to deal with his aftermath."
"Assist the police station to resolve family disputes? What family disputes do we have? Do we need the police station to resolve them?"
"That's right, we two brothers are doing well and there is no need for the police station to solve any problems."
"Li Zhong, Li Cheng, we received a report from Ms. Li Li, saying that she was physically assaulted and that the old man's normal funeral arrangements were also disrupted."
Young policeman talking.
"What a joke, she was personally attacked? Our life safety was threatened!"
"Comrade police, she just slapped us a few times. Let's report the crime now!"
"Yes, I still have fingerprints on my face!"
"Master Jiujin can testify for us that she saw everything at the scene."
"Master Jiujin, come here and testify for us!"
Li Zhong, Li Cheng and their wives came over to pull on Tang Qing in a noisy manner.
"Can you please be quiet? Mr. Li's body is still cold and you are like this. Can he close his eyes in peace?"
"If you want to quarrel, you have to wait until Mr. Li is laid to rest. Are you going to quarrel now about dividing the family property?"
"Oh, Mr. Li is a knowledgeable and elegant old man in our Yancheng city. I never expected that he would look like this behind me!"
Several "talents" couldn't help but discuss it.
The Li family used to be well-known in Shancheng. It was the largest household in the late Qing Dynasty, running a pharmacy, a sauce shop, a winery, a teahouse, a theater, etc.
The old man is elegant and humble, likes opera and going to the theater, and is a famous fan.
Yancheng is the birthplace of Yue Opera. Li Li's biological mother was a female actor in a Yue Opera troupe. Her part "There is a little girl in my family..." made the old man obsessed with it for the rest of his life and he could not extricate himself.
"Qingtuan, if you still recognize me as a classmate, tell me clearly what my dad's three fingers mean in front of everyone now!"
Li Li pulled Tang Qing in front of everyone.
"Master Jiujin, please speak quickly and speak truthfully!"
"Master Jiujin, don't be afraid of her, there are police here, she won't dare to do anything random!"
Li Zhong and Li Cheng became very calm instead.
"Two eldest brothers, Li Li, I will definitely tell the truth about Mr. Li's last words, but not now."
Tang Qing said calmly.
"not now?"
"How long do you want to wait?"
"What are you doing?"
Li Zhong, Li Cheng, and Li Li asked Tang Qing questions at the same time.
"I will wait until you have properly arranged Master Li's funeral affairs."
Tang Qing still spoke calmly and calmly.
"No, you have to say it now!"
"Yes, say it now!"
"Are you going to say it or not?"
Li Zhong, Li Cheng, and Li Li refused to give up.
"I won't tell you if you don't send Master Li off properly. And let me tell you, Master Li had other things to tell me before he was alive. This is more important than the meaning of those three fingers. I have to watch you send him off."
Mr. Li’s performance will decide whether to say it or not.”
Tang Qing simply sat down on a bamboo chair next to him and started to show off.
"How dare you put on airs in front of me?!"
"Humph, aren't you just a shaver? Why are you putting on such a stinky air?"
"I respect you and call you master. If I don't respect you, you are nothing. Do you, a female barber, have the qualifications to put on airs in front of us?"
Li Li, Li Zhong, and Li Cheng unanimously criticized Tang Qing as never before.
"Anyway, if you don't send Mr. Li away properly, I won't say anything!"
Tang Qing got angry.
"Master Jiujin, do you think this is a good idea? Li Zhong, Li Cheng, and Li Li send Master Li off well. As for you, tell Master Li's last words in full."
Director Liu of the neighborhood committee and Xini.
"No, I have to watch them send Master Li off properly, otherwise, I won't say anything!"
Tang Qing was stunned.
"Master Jiujin, what can I ask you to say?"
The young policeman smiled at Tang Qing.
"You can summon me to the police station, but whether you say it or not, and how you say it, is up to me."
Tang Qing still had a tough attitude.
"Master Jiujin, do you still know about 'summoning'? Let me tell you, if the police station summons you, the nature will be different, and the problem will not be that simple!"
The lawyer speaks.
"As long as Mr. Li can leave safely under the escort of his children, you can detain me now!"
Tang Qing had a stiff neck, looking like he would rather die than surrender.
"Haha, this shouldn't be that serious. Policeman Wang and Lawyer Gao, I think we should respect Master Jiujin's opinion."
