Yu Feng knew that his father had been experiencing frequent angina during that period, and that Yi Xiaoshuang had changed her mind after having someone else.

Once a woman's heart changes, she is capable of any vicious thing. Yu Feng guessed that she deliberately hid her father's medicine, which led to her father's death from a heart attack.

However, speculation is just speculation. The law requires evidence, and speculation and reasoning are useless without evidence.

Now that he has severed ties with his father, meaning he has no right to inherit the estate, Yi Xiaoshuang kicked him out of the house and didn't give him a single penny of his father's estate.

Yi Xiaoshuang later changed the company name to Xiaoshuang Real Estate Company.

Two years after her father's death, Yi Xiaoshuang, perhaps to avoid suspicion, did not marry her lover, a young man. However, not long after her husband's death, she began living with him and they have since had a son.

Upon hearing this, Dong Qing said, "That woman is utterly despicable. If I'm not mistaken, Yi Xiaoshuang's framing of Yu Feng was probably a conspiracy from the beginning, mainly to deprive Yu Feng of his inheritance rights. After depriving him of his inheritance rights, she would then try to kill her husband. This line of reasoning makes perfect sense. His father himself has a history of angina attacks, so I'm afraid he will never be able to clear his father's name in his lifetime."

Dong Qing's analysis was not unfounded. There is an idiom that says, "Nothing is more poisonous than a woman's heart." Once a wife's heart changes, she is capable of doing anything to monopolize the property. No matter what motives or methods Yi Xiaoshuang may have for committing the crime, she would not leave any trace for Yu Feng.

Dong Sanmei said, "Your analysis is very correct, but this is just too infuriating. Yi Xiaoshuang has now caused the death of Yu Feng's biological father, and now she's been kicked out of the house. I wouldn't be able to swallow this either."

Dong Qing said, "This matter is not without room for maneuver. Severing the father-son relationship does not mean he has no right to inherit the estate. He can sue his stepmother to get back his share of the inheritance."

Not only did Yu Feng not know this kind of legal knowledge, but Dong Sanmei did not either. In those days, there was no internet, and the only legal knowledge one could learn was from books. Ordinary people rarely read legal knowledge, so there was a huge blind spot in this area back then.

Dong Sanmei said, "If you say that, there's still hope that he can get back a portion of his inheritance."

“Of course he can get it back. After the New Year, he can go back and talk to his stepmother privately. If that doesn't work, he can sue her in court and get his share of the inheritance back. The cause of Father's death is unclear, so at least he should get his share of the inheritance back.” Dongqing paused for a moment and said, “Third sister, tell your brother the truth, besides the age difference, do you like him?”

Dong Sanmei said, "Yu Feng is a very outstanding young man. Would you believe me if I said I didn't like him? To be honest, I don't even believe it myself."

There's really no need for siblings to hide anything from each other; every word is spoken from the heart, revealing their innermost thoughts. Dong Sanmei was certain that if the person she was talking to wasn't her own brother, she would never have spoken so frankly.

Dongqing asked, "Is he on the island now? If so, let's meet up next year."

Dong Sanmei said, "The hydropower project will be completed next May, so of course he'll be on the island. His home was taken over by Yi Xiaoshuang, so he's homeless. He'll stay on the island for duty during the Spring Festival. Why don't you go to the island next year and arrange a meeting?"

Dong Qing said, "If the two of you can really get together, I will help him get his share of the property back."

Dong Sanmei asked, "How much property can he recover in his situation?"

Dong Qing said, "If his father had left a will, it would have been much simpler; the estate would have been distributed according to the will. However, his father died suddenly without leaving a will. In such cases, the estate should usually be divided equally among the heirs of the same order. This means that Yu Feng's stepmother and younger siblings will each receive a quarter of their father's estate, and he won't receive any more than that."

“It seems Third Sister needs to learn more about law in the future; there are many laws I really don’t understand.” Dong Sanmei paused for a moment and continued, “Let’s not talk about him anymore. I want to talk to you about some work-related matters. Recently, many fishermen want to settle on the island and make a living by fishing.”

It's normal for fishermen to settle on the island. In the past, the island was deserted and no one dared to settle there. Now, with roads and electricity, and large cargo ships coming and going from the mainland every day, it is indeed a good place for fishermen to settle down.

Dong Qing said, "They can settle on the island, but they must obey the island's management, pay the corresponding management fees to the company, and participate in the planned construction of housing."

Every business has a return. Even a property management company has to charge property management fees to the owners. Dongqing has invested so much money on the island, building roads and bridges, installing hydroelectric power stations, and hiring so many security guards. It's impossible that he wouldn't charge any fees. Otherwise, where would the money he invested come from?

Dong Qing said, "After the New Year, let's build a school and a hospital on the island first. A large number of fishermen are coming to the island, and it really won't work without a school and a hospital."

When the population of the two islands is large, education and hospitals must keep up. Children can go to school on the islands and receive medical treatment when they are sick. These two infrastructures are essential.

Dong Sanmei nodded after hearing this and said, "I will start taking care of these three things as soon as I get back after the New Year."

Dong Sanmei added, "About two weeks ago, one of our company's security guards was playing on the mountain on the opposite island when he discovered a hot spring at the foot of the mountain. The water was flowing out from a crevice in the rocks at the foot of the mountain, but the water temperature was not high; it was only 18 degrees Celsius."

Dongqing said, "Really? I'll go back to the island with you after the New Year."

Dong Sanmei said, "A water temperature of 18 degrees Celsius isn't very useful in winter."

An 18-degree water temperature is indeed not very useful. It's okay in summer, but the water temperature is too low for hot spring bathing in winter.

No wonder we didn't find any hot springs for so many days. It's hard to spot them when the water temperature is low and the air temperature is high. You can only see the faint steam from hot springs in winter.

Dong Qing said, "Hot springs generally have medicinal, rehabilitation, health-preserving, therapeutic, and beauty-enhancing effects. If the water contains these properties after testing, can we heat the hot spring water?"

"Okay, you can come with me next year when I leave."

Dongqing said, "Yuzhu should have finished cooking by now. Let's go back and eat."

Dong Sanmei said okay and walked out of the house with her younger brother.

After dinner, Dong Sanmei drove to the city's long-distance bus station.

After she divorced her ex-husband, he moved back to live in the bus station dormitory building.

Dong Sanmei walked to the dormitory door, which was closed, and heard Sun Hao talking to a woman in the dormitory.

She didn't care about any of that. She had already divorced Sun Hao, and who he dated was none of her business.

Dong Sanmei raised her hand to knock on the door, which opened instantly. A woman in her twenties stood up from the sofa and said, "You have a guest, I'll go back now."

Sun Hao said "okay," and the woman walked out of the room and downstairs. After she left, he asked, "When did you get back?"
