Xing Yuanwai said that his ancestral home was Gucheng, and his ancestors deserted the army and went to Hanzhong to do tea business. They passed by Baishui and found that Baishui County was a good place with mountains and rivers. It looked very much like his hometown Gucheng, so he stayed and settled here.
Mr. Xing's only regret is that he has no offspring, not even a son or a daughter. This makes him very upset. He is always worried that he will do bad things, so he does good deeds. He hopes that by doing more good deeds without leaving his name, he can achieve perfection in his life.
There is a good ending. Those who do good will have remnants of happiness, and those who do evil will have remnants of disaster.
He and his wife adhered to this belief, and as a result they became very popular. When many people mentioned him, they would praise him and praise him full of praise.
Officer Xing looked at the Zhu Tianqi family who made the complaint. They seemed to be a well-educated and well-educated family. It was not a natural disaster and it would not have happened here. It was God's will. Looking at the little boy Zhu Anliu, he was pretty, well-behaved and smart. Although he was a son, he
He is not as naughty and gangster as a boy. Instead, he is gentle and polite. He looks like he will be a high-ranking official in the future. He is very calm and calm. He is not the kind of person who makes a fuss, but a confident person.
Zhu Anliu was only three years old, but he was already doing well. This suddenly changed the mind of Mr. Xing, who had no idea of raising a son. He had a strong desire to adopt Zhu Anliu.
When Zhu Tianqi and his wife heard Xing's suggestion, they were very happy. There was still almost two-thirds of the way left, so there was no need to leave. They originally planned to go to Hanzhong, but before they arrived in Hanzhong, they encountered someone when passing through Baishui County.
A noble person comes to help.
The noble person here is Mr. Xing.
It is also very strange that no goal has ever been very clear. In the end, what happened to Xing Yuanwai was that he gave up halfway. He was very calm and very wise. His goal was to have no children in his life, and he had no idea of adopting children, although he had no children.
Few people persuaded him to adopt, but he was never tempted until he met Zhu Anliu.
Zhu Anliu became the adopted son of Yuan Xing, and everyone was happy. Zhu Tianqi and his wife would no longer have to work all the way to Hanzhong, and maybe going to Hanzhong would not necessarily be better than Baishui County.
Xing Yuanwai has been operating in Baishui County for several generations. His family is well off and he is a wealthy local man. Even the county magistrate respected and admired Yuan Wai very much when he met him. He felt that Xing Yuanwai was the signature of Baishui County. He was gentle, gentle and kind to others. He was the first person in the county.
He is a philanthropist who does good deeds for disaster relief every year, and his generosity and generosity are surprising.
Mr. Xing was very happy to have adopted his adopted son. He was very kind to Zhu Tianqi and his wife. They treated him as family members and treated him like brothers, just like brothers. Zhu Tianqi and his wife were very moved, as if this drought was specially arranged by God, so they
Zhu Tianqi left his hometown, went to Baishui County and met Xing Yuanwai, and then became brothers. This was God's will.
Because of the disaster years, people moved frequently, people died of hunger all over the land, the plague began to spread, and many people were infected. Zhu Tianqi and his wife were in good health, but they could not bear to travel all the way. In addition, they were intimidated and the psychological pressure was too great, causing both of them to suffer
Getting sick is like typhoid fever, but also like plague. Because there are many people dead on the roadside, rats bite them, causing the plague to spread, which is the plague.
As a result, Zhu Tianqi's health deteriorated day by day. He soon felt that his end was approaching, so he said to Mr. Xing who came to visit him: "Brother, thank you for taking us in and recognizing my son as your adopted son. Thank you for your support."
Take care, brother, I have a contract here, which is about the list of family property and the terms of division. It is for me. My family property is for my son Zhu Anliu, and it is also the property for your adopted son. It is very important. The child is still young.
, it is not suitable to give it to him now. I hope to give it to him when he becomes an adult. With this contract, he can get half of the Zhu family's property. Brother, please help take care of my son and keep the contract properly. I am the spirit in heaven.
, I will also repay my kindness to my elder brother. My elder brother’s kindness to my younger brother cannot be repaid in this life, because my younger brother will not be alive soon, so he can only wait until the next life to repay.”
As he spoke, Zhu Tianqi took out a folded piece of paper from under his pillow and handed it to Officer Xing. Officer Xing opened it and saw that it was indeed a description of the division of property. It was very detailed, including how many fields, how much land, how many cabinets and how many tanks.
and jar, all written clearly.
When Mr. Xing saw it outside, he was very surprised. No wonder the Zhu family was rich. They were local tycoons. It turned out that all these family properties needed to be recorded one by one. It would be very convenient and clear at a glance if they wanted to count them.
These contents are easy to remember and catchy.
Xing Yuanwai said: "Brother, don't worry. Zhu Anliu will definitely get these properties and live a good life in the future. My brother will definitely fulfill his mission and complete the task. My brother can rest assured and enjoy happiness."
After Zhu Tianqi finished explaining, he held Mr. Xing's hand, then gradually loosened his hand, kicked his legs, tilted his neck, and passed without taking a breath. His eyes were closed peacefully, without any pain. Soon after,
Zhu Anliu's biological mother also passed away. The two of them had been together for less than ten days. The successive blows made Zhu Anliu a little uncomfortable. However, he recovered immediately. With the care of Mr. Xing, he had no worries and was over soon.
Eighteen years old.
Officer Xing paid close attention to the people coming from Gucheng. When he found out that Gucheng had passed through the disaster years, he asked Zhu Anliu: "Do you want to go home?"
"Which home to go to?"
"This is your hometown."
"My hometown?"
"Yes, your hometown is Gucheng. You left there and came here when you were a child, right?"
"Can't remember."
"Then let me tell you, you were originally from Gucheng. You came here to escape the disaster years and were adopted by me as your adopted son. Your parents died here due to the plague and left their ashes here. They have not yet been buried. Your parents had their wishes during their lifetime.
, it means that the leaves have fallen back to their roots, and the ashes should be buried in their hometown. So, you have to go back to your hometown, and you probably still have a little impression about your old house." Xing Yuanwai said.
"Oh, I understand, adoptive father. When will you leave?"
"Get ready. You can leave in two days. Go early! Go back early for burial. Good morning. Let your parents rest peacefully and return to their roots after the leaves have fallen. It will also put an end to their worries."
"Okay, get ready now."
Before Zhu Anliu left, Mr. Xing invited him to the study.
"What's the matter? Foster father."
"It's like this. Before your father left, he gave me a contract to give to you when you grow up."
"What contract?"
"It's the separation agreement. It says what the family property is. No, here is the contract. You should keep it well and remember some contents. At this time, the contract is the most effective evidence and can guarantee that you will get the family property. If there is no contract, you
There is nothing. You have to keep your contract well. Don’t let the bad guys take it away or destroy it. You have to be careful. You are a sheep and you are surrounded by wolves. You have no sharp teeth or powerful claws. You have to be careful.
Know how to escape, know how to protect yourself, and don't fight head-on, otherwise you will lose miserably." Xing Yuanwai said.
He said and solemnly handed the contract to Zhu Anliu.
Zhu Anliu also accepted the contract very carefully, as if he was receiving a huge fortune.
Then, Xing Yuanwai gave him some money, hired a carriage and horses, and took his slaves to Gucheng County.
Since I was young and my eldest brother was away from home, I didn't know the house when I arrived in my hometown, so I asked around all the way, and there was a road right under my nose. I asked questions as I walked, and arrived at the Zhu family compound.
There was an old woman sitting at the door of the courtyard, whom Zhu Anliu didn't recognize.
She stood up, looked left and right, and said, "Are you Zhu Tianqi?"
"No, that's my dad!"
"Oh, are you Zhu Anliu?"
"Exactly, who are you?"
"My poor nephew! I am your aunt."
"Aunt?"
"She is your uncle Zhu Tianliu's wife."
"Oh, I heard that my uncle is Zhu Tianliu."
"Yes. I am his wife."
"You are my aunt." Zhu Anliu said.
"What are you doing back here?"
"I'm coming back to bury my parents."
"Your parents are dead?"
"Yes, my parents died of the plague in Baishui County."
"So, you are also eighteen years old, right?"
"Yes. I am eighteen years old. When I come back this time, I will bury my parents and divide the Zhu family's property," Zhu Anliu said.
"Why do you want to divide the family property?" Zhu Yang asked.
"By the contract! When I left, my adoptive father gave me the contract and asked for the division of the Zhu family's property."
"Do you have a contract? Could it be that your adoptive father wants you to blackmail us and divide the Zhu family's property? Your adoptive father is not a good person!"
"My adoptive father is very good! My parents died young, and it was my adoptive father who raised me up. This time I went home to bury my parents. It was also my adoptive father who asked me to come back to bury my parents. He promised to bury me, which means he said
If you do what you do, you are a good person, not a bad person."
"You are too naive. What bad person would put the label of bad guy on himself? They are all good at pretending." Zhu Yangshi said.
"Aunt, you are my aunt. I believe in you. Don't doubt me. I have credentials." Zhu Anliu said.
"Proof? We signed the contract in duplicate. Zhu Tianliu and Zhu Tianqi both have one copy, which is exactly the same. If you have it, you can take it out and compare it to see if it's authentic. If it's true, it's definitely
I will give you property. If it is fake, I'm sorry, I will send you to the county government and punish you according to the crime of perjury. You have to think about the consequences. If you think about it, we will deal with it like this. If you don't think about it, just give it to you.
You have time to think about it." Zhu Yang said.
"I have a contract, I do!" Zhu Anliu said.
"If it's true, take it out and take a look. If it's fake, go away. Don't embarrass yourself here. The Zhu family can't afford to be embarrassed like this." Zhu Yang said.
In fact, Mrs. Zhu Yang has always wanted to monopolize the Zhu family's property. She brought her daughter and son-in-law, mainly because her daughter has a generous family property. She doesn't want to give Zhu Anliu a penny of the family property. Anyway, Zhu Anliu's parents are not here, so that's it.
With no one to support him, he can bully others.
"No, here, here is the contract. Is it possible that I will lie to you again? Auntie!" Zhu Anliu said.
"Who knows whether you're cheating or not? You came back from abroad and recognized your adoptive father again. Now you have more family members and it's a little complicated. It's not that your aunt doesn't believe what you said, but you can't believe it all. Give me the contract and I'll take it with you.
Compare my contracts, and if they are exactly the same, I will agree to give you half of my property. If it is found that the contract is forged, I will send you to jail, do you understand?"
"I understand, No, the contract is here. Please take it over and compare it to see if it is true." Zhu Anliu said.
Zhu Anliu completely forgot the instructions and warnings given to him by his adoptive father Xing Yuanwai, and easily believed Zhu Yang, took out the contract, and handed it over to Zhu Yang.
As soon as Zhu Yang got the contract, she secretly rejoiced and said: "Okay, nephew, wait a moment, aunt will go and take a look at my contract and check it to see if it is true. If it is true, I will give you the property."
You go and bury your brother and sister-in-law. If it is false, then I don’t have to listen to you, aunt."
"Okay! Go ahead with confidence!"
When Zhu Yang came to the room and looked at the contract in front of the sun, she knew it was true. She had a plan in mind but didn't say it out loud.
After a while, she came out with a wooden stick in her hand. Zhu Anliu took a look and asked what he was doing. Before he asked, she swung the stick and hit Zhu Anliu. As a result, Zhu Anliu's head was broken and bleeding.
Zhu Yang scolded: "You really don't know what is good! You really danced the sword in front of Guan Gong and did carpentry in front of Lu Ban. You really don't know how to behave! This contract is fake. You want to use the fake contract to get away with it and seize the Zhu family's property."
, it’s really hateful.”
Zhu Anliu never expected that he would be beaten with a wooden stick. He had never seen a stick like this since he was a child. Could this be life-threatening? The slave stepped forward to stop him and received several blows from the stick.
The situation suddenly got out of control, and Mrs. Zhu Yang was like a mad dog, biting everywhere.
A lot of people gathered around to watch the fun. I don't know why they wanted to watch, maybe it was to satisfy their curiosity.
At this time, someone came out, stopped Zhu Yangshi, and said: "If you have something to say, please speak it carefully. If you hit people at every turn, is there any law? Stop it!"
When Zhu Yang saw it, he saw that the visitor was none other than his neighbor Zhang Seli.
"This man is a liar. He wants to defraud the Zhu family of their property. He is really hateful. I can't calm down my anger without beating him!" said Zhu Yang.
"I know the right and wrong, and you don't need to be angry. What's yours is yours. You can take it away. If it's not yours, you can't take it away. If you take it away, you still have to give it back. If you are angry, you can
Will you get more property? Can you convince Zhu Anliu if you are angry? Zhu Anliu will not divide the Zhu family's property without any reason. There must be a reason for everything, and there must be a result if there is a cause. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Zhang Seli said.
"Zhang Seli, please mind your own business, old fellow. If you mind your own business, be careful that the stick doesn't recognize anyone, and it will hit you until you are convinced. Do you believe it or not?" Zhu Yang said.
Zhang Seli took one look and decided that she was a shrew, so he ignored her and left with Zhu Anliu.
When Zhu Yang saw it, he was extremely happy. This game was a complete victory. To be reasonable, it is better to swing a wooden stick. There is truth in the wooden stick.
She entered the house and put the stick at the door, ready to use it next time. Her pitiful image was gone, leaving Zhu Anliu with a deep memory. In the face of interests, all relationships are unreliable. He felt that this was politics.
It may seem boring, but you can feel the joy of victory. Even a temporary victory is worth remembering and recalling.
In this world, pies do not fall from the sky. Even if a lot of pies fall from time to time, you still have to get up early to pick them up. If you are late, others will pick them up, and you can only look at the sky and sigh. This chapter has been completed!
