Su Jianguo took his last breath on his sickbed, still hearing the quarrel of his five children fighting over 300,000 yuan for surgery fees.
When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to t...
Li Decai slammed his hand on the table in anger.
"Aren't you just pushing away money that's already in your hands?"
Wang Guifang quickly pulled her husband back.
"Old man, what are you yelling about! Your daughter meant well, who knew that Su Jianguo was such a scoundrel..."
"Kindness?"
Li Decai was so angry that his beard trembled.
"Thirty thousand yuan! Just wait a bit, or we'll kill that couple. All the money went to Mingqiang anyway, didn't it? Now look what's happened, they've kicked Mingqiang out of the house, and he's about to lose his job!"
Li Jinbao sneered from the side.
"Girl, you're really something, threatening them not to be allowed into their ancestral graves? Do you think Su Jianguo is easily intimidated? He's been around Beijing for so many years, what hasn't he seen?"
Li Jinhua was rendered speechless.
She could only lower her head and cry without saying a word.
Seeing her daughter crying so sadly, Wang Guifang quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Alright, alright, what's the use of complaining now? Let's think of a solution!"
The room fell silent for a moment, with only Li Jinhua's suppressed sobs.
Li Decai picked up his pipe again and frowned as he took one puff after another.
Amidst swirling smoke.
His eyes gradually became shrewd.
"Got it!"
Li Decai suddenly slapped his thigh.
"As they say, experience counts! I've got an idea!"
"What method?"
Wang Guifang and Li Jinhua asked at the same time.
Li Decai squinted and said in a low voice.
"Since Su Jianguo wants to remove Mingqiang from the family genealogy, then they are two separate families. As the son, Mingqiang has every right to go to the neighborhood committee and request a division of the family property!"
"Separate families?"
Li Jinhua wiped away her tears, a hint of interest appearing on her face.
"Yes! Let's split up!"
Li Decai stood up excitedly and paced back and forth, his hands behind his back.
"According to the old custom, the son has a share in his parents' estate. Even if Su Jianguo doesn't acknowledge him as his son, Mingqiang still has the right to claim a share of the inheritance!"
Li Jinbao immediately understood.
"Dad's right! The Su family already had a considerable fortune, plus that house, and the compensation of 30,000..."
The more they talked, the brighter Li Jinbao and Li Decai's eyes became.
This is a big family; the Li family is going to eat them alive.
Wang Guifang hesitated.
"Will this...will this work? Su Jianguo has connections in the subdistrict office...his second son is an official there..."
"Why not?"
Li Decai was confident.
"What era are we living in? We need to uphold the law! If the neighborhood committee dares to show even the slightest favoritism, we'll file a complaint with the district government!"
Li Jinhua finally stopped crying, but her face still showed doubt.
"But... Mingqiang is like that now..."
"so!"
Li Decai pointed at his daughter.
"Go tidy up the house now, prepare some good food for Mingqiang, and make him comfortable. Once he sobers up, we'll have a good talk with him!"
Li Jinhua reluctantly pouted.
"I'm not going to serve that drunkard..."
"Foolish!"
Li Decai raised his voice again.
"He's our only hope now! Do you think I want you to serve that good-for-nothing? It's all about the money!"
Wang Guifang quickly nudged her daughter.
"Go quickly, listen to your father. I'll go to the kitchen and see what other dishes are left..."
Li Jinhua stood up hesitantly, walked to the door, and then turned back to ask.
"Father, what if... what if Mingqiang doesn't want to?"
Li Decai sneered.
"Does he dare to disagree? He's about to lose his job; besides sticking with us, what other path does he have?"
Li Jinhua thought for a moment, then finally nodded and went out.
Li Decai watched his daughter's retreating figure, lit another pipe, and squinted as he began to plot.
"Old man."
Wang Guifang asked in a low voice.
"Are we really going to let Mingqiang split up the family business? Su Jianguo is not someone to be trifled with."
Wang Guifang was somewhat afraid of Su Jianguo.
Li Decai exhaled a smoke ring.
"What's there to be afraid of? If Su Jianguo is heartless, then don't blame us for being unjust! If he dares to lock me up for seven days, I'll make him taste the bitterness of losing his family and home!"
Li Jinbao smiled sinisterly from the side.
"Dad, when you get the money, you have to buy me two beautiful young ladies..."
...
On the other side.
After dealing with the Zhang brothers' matter, Su Jianguo returned to the hospital.
At this time, Wu Ermaitai had been moved from the intensive care unit to a regular ward.
He lay there quietly, like a lifeless puppet.
Various tubes were connected to his body, and the regular "beeping" of the electrocardiogram monitor was the only sound in the ward.
Su Jianguo sat on the plastic chair by the bed, looking at Wu Ermaitai who was still unconscious, and felt very uncomfortable.
"Second brother..."
Su Jianguo's voice was very hoarse, but he still explained to Wu Ertai.
"Those beasts from the Zhang family who beat you have all been arrested."
"The guy whose ear you bit off is dead too... and it was his own brother who did it."
With Lao Si's tainted witness as a witness, Su Jianguo also learned the whole story.
