Chapter 6 Three Brothers and Sisters Equally Divided
"Hey, Master Jiujin, how can I come to a fight with you? All the disputes between the brothers and sisters of the Li family were settled by me!"
Not long after Tang Qing arrived at the store, Auntie Shanghai rushed in excitedly.
"Who is Master Jiujin? I said you don't need to worry about her. Ji Ren has her own destiny. She is intact and will do a great thing!"
"Master Jiujin, now you have become a big celebrity in Yancheng. You are all the people talking about in the market!"
"Hey, Pig Killer, Master Jiujin Yi is a famous person in Shan City. His hair-shaving skills are always the best in Shan City."
"Aunt Shanghai, haven't you heard that I add the word 'big' in front of my famous name?"
"The butcher is right, Master Jiujin used to be a celebrity in the barber industry, and now he is a celebrity in the entire city of Shan!"
Just when Tang Qing wanted to respond to Auntie Shanghai, Carpenter Wang and the Pig Killer walked into the store one after another, and then continued to clean up the store by themselves, leaving them to their own devices.
Tang Qing has not been to the barber shop for four days, so she needs to give the chairs, tables, and stools a good wipe down. She likes to feel refreshed.
Two days ago, at Tang Qing's insistence, Li Zhong, Li Cheng, and Li Li held a glorious funeral for the old man in accordance with the customs of Shan City.
That night, Li Zhong and Li Cheng impatiently asked Tang Qing to reveal the old man's last words.
"After these three days and two nights, you are not tired, but I am. I have to go back and have a good sleep. In this way, at 8:30 tomorrow morning, you ask your sister to call Director Liu, Police Officer Xiao Wang and Lawyer Gao. I will be on time
Come and announce Mr. Li’s last words.”
Tang Qing said as he walked out of the Li family's old house.
The Li family's old house is located on Lutei Mountain in Yancheng City. It was originally a summer retreat for the Li family, with three floors and two floors, covering an area of about 500 square meters.
There were originally lush trees around the old house, but they were later cut down by nearby villagers and replanted with vegetables.
For the last twenty years or so, the old man lived alone in his old house, never leaving the house except for a short walk in the surrounding vegetable fields in the morning and evening when there were few people around.
When Tang Qing returned home, he didn't bother to wash up and fell asleep.
Normally Tang Qing would never go to bed without taking a shower, even if it was a very cold day.
Tang Qing's home is next to the west gate of Shan City. The house is not large, only more than fifty square meters, with two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom and a small balcony. The living room is both a dining room and a living room. After putting down a dining table and a refrigerator,
There is no room for leeway.
Tang Qing now lives alone. Her husband accidentally drowned when he went to touch snails in the river the summer before last.
There is a wide river in front of Yancheng called Yanxi.
This Yanxi River is very famous. The Yanxi River in the poem "The moon on the lake shines on my shadow and sends me to Yanxi River" sung by Li Bai, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty, is the Yanxiang River in Yancheng.
The water of Shanxi River is as clear as a ribbon floating across the south of Yancheng. People in Yancheng like to wash and rinse in Shanxixi. Swimming in Shanxixi is even more beautiful in summer.
Tang Qing has repeatedly advised her husband not to touch snails in deep waters, but to touch them on the shore.
But in order to touch more, my husband always swam to deep water, and something happened to him.
At that time, Tang Qing's son was less than three years old, so his grandparents took the grandson over and raised him until now.
Tang Qing's marriage was completely arranged by her parents, and her husband's father was also a barber.
Tang Qing's emotional intelligence was not high, and she never formally fell in love until she got married. She was confused and had a son, and only then did she realize that she was already a mother.
For some reason, Tang Qing never had any impulse towards a man, but he often dreamed of Li Li.
When she was a student, Li Li's long legs were always dangling in Tang Qing's dreams. Tang Qing thought her thoughts were unclean and dirty!
That day when Li Li grabbed Tang Qing's hand at the Li family's old house, Tang Qing's mind went blank for a moment, and an unprecedented feeling hit her heart like an electric shock.
Tang Qing himself explained that it was because Li Li was so beautiful that he, a little grass, had always longed to be a flower like her, so he felt that way. Maybe it was jealousy, jealousy, and hatred.
During the funeral of the old man, Tang Qing did not dare to look at Li Li, but Li Li always approached her intentionally or unintentionally, which made her very tortured.
You know, for so many years as a classmate, Li Li never took the initiative to say a word to Tang Qing, and never looked at her in the eyes, but always ridiculed her. "Qingtuan" was the nickname Li Li gave Tang Qing.
"Qingtuan" is a snack in Shancheng. It is made of glutinous rice and mugwort. It is round, sweet and glutinous and delicious.
Grandma, you are such a bear, you Li Zapo’s eyes and brain are too poisonous and clever, aren’t you? My Tang Qing’s round face really looks like that green ball!
Alas, even if you have never seen or eaten Qingtuan, you can definitely imagine that this round "Qingtuan" cannot be compared with the "school beauty" Tingting Yuli.
After graduating from high school and entering the society, Li Li and Li Zapo cannot be said to be known to everyone in Shancheng, but at least they are household names.
Starting from working in an individual clothing store, Li Li is now the chairman of a group company, which owns a clothing design office, two tie and clothing processing factories, and five direct clothing stores.
It is impossible for Tang Qing, an ordinary barber, to fall into the eyes of Li Li, a domineering president. The reason why Li Li got close to Tang Qing must be for the family fortune.
The butcher and the Shanghai aunt were discussing Li Li's divorce in the people's barber shop. Tang Qing felt an inexplicable pleasure in his heart at that time. He was gloating? Watching the fun on fire? Haha, I didn't expect you Li Li, Li school beauty, Li Zapo,
She will also become a widow like my Youth League!
Only Tang Qing could hear Master Li's last words about dividing the family property clearly. As long as Tang Qing tells the truth, Li Li will definitely be grateful to her. She may be able to take a further step forward in their relationship with Li Li as classmates, and maybe even
Be a good friend.
But when Tang Qing announced Mr. Li's last words, she didn't tell the truth. She lied for the first time in her life.
In front of Director Liu of the neighborhood committee, police officer Xiao Wang from the police station, lawyer Gao, and the three brothers Li Zhong, Li Cheng, and Li Li, Tang Qing said:
"Everyone, what Mr. Li means by holding out three fingers is that the family property will be divided equally between the three brothers Li Zhong, Li Cheng and Li Li. At the same time, Mr. Li hopes that I will tell Li Zhong and Li Cheng that this old house cannot be sold under any circumstances. This is the reason why the Li family is
The only root in Yancheng, he usually comes back to visit and needs a place to stay."
"Qingtuan, you didn't tell the truth!"
Li Li accused Tang Qing with an angry look.
"I tell the truth."
Tang Qing responded, but his voice was very soft and he obviously lacked confidence.
"Master Jiujin, are you willing to take legal responsibility?"
Lawyer Gao asked Tang Qing.
"I do!"
This time Tang Qing answered very loudly and with full confidence.
"Okay, Li Zhong, Li Cheng, Li Li, what else do you have to say?"
Director Liu of the neighborhood committee asked.
"If we divide it equally, we will divide it equally, but this old house needs to be appraised by an appraisal company."
"Brother, isn't this old house not for sale? What's the use of having it appraised? You'll have to pay an additional appraisal fee."
"But how to divide the old house? It can't be divided into three parts, right?"
"According to the will and the transfer of the real estate certificate, doesn't it mean that the heads of household are the three of us?"
"Second brother, have you thought about this a long time ago?"
"I guess this will be the result."
Li Zhong and Li Cheng had no objections to the equal division of the family property. Not only could they accept it, they were also very happy. Because they were very guilty and had never fulfilled their duty to take care of the elderly. Once they went to court, they would be the ones at fault.
Li Li sat alone, lowering her head and thinking.
"If you three have no objection, then the old man's will will be carried out. Mr. Li gave our neighborhood committee a list before his death, including all his bankbooks and some gold, silver and jade articles. You three can take a look."
As Director Liu spoke, he took out a piece of paper from an old-fashioned briefcase and spread it on the table.
"Let me check it out."
"It should be the same."
Li Zhong and Li Cheng couldn't wait to grab the piece of paper and compare it with the objects that the old man had originally placed.
Li Li still sat aside without saying a word.
"It's easy to divide money, but how to divide gold, silver and jade?"
"Yes, gold, silver, and jade are of different levels of value, especially jade. It's hard to tell whether it's good or bad."
Li Zhong's wife and Li Cheng's wife each held two wooden lacquer boxes in their hands and didn't want to let go.
"You don't have to worry about this. Mr. Li had already thought of this before his death and had asked experts to conduct appraisals. Every gold, silver and jade item has its price marked on it."
Director Liu points his finger at the wooden lacquer box.
"The old man is quite thoughtful, big brother, then let's start dividing?"
Li Cheng couldn't wait.
"Okay, Li Zapo, come and share it! You have to stop sharing it in front of these people you called, right?"
Li Zhong calls out to Li Li.
"No need to divide, you two need to divide it among yourself! I don't want money or gold, silver and jewelry, I just want this old house!"
