Li Wenjing lived a smooth and favorable life in the Li family for sixteen years. Suddenly one day, her mother said she was not their biological daughter, and later she was driven out of the house, ...
She remembered the gold bars she had found from the furniture at home, and suddenly she felt like trying it out.
Li Shuhua was still chattering over there: "The three rooms in the east courtyard are enough for my father to live in.
I can’t let my mother die while I still have to support my father’s future wife and children!
My mother repeatedly warned me that if my father didn't come to ask for the things she left behind, I must keep all these things to myself and never say a word even if I was beaten to death. I could only divide these things up with my father after he passed away.
When my father was alive, the house was still under his control. Even if he sold it or gave it away for money or other reasons, none of us three siblings could say anything, nor could we have any opinions. We certainly couldn't ask my father for it. After all, filial piety is the most important virtue!
After Li Shuhua finished speaking, Li Daniu started yelling without understanding what his third uncle and the others were saying.
"Divorce? Who said I divorced Shao Xue? Shao Xue is a member of our Li family in life and a ghost in death!"
Li Daniu suddenly felt overwhelmed and a little bit unbelievable.
He clearly came here to get gold, silver and treasures, but not only did he not get any, he also lost his house.
How could Li Daniu bear this!
As for the old furniture that Li Shuhua mentioned, Li Daniu didn't take it seriously.
Perhaps because he felt guilty, all the things Shao Xue used during her lifetime were still untouched and in the East Courtyard.
As for when he married He Zhaodi, the furniture they had was all newly made mahogany furniture.
When Li Shuhua heard Li Daniu deny it and say such shameless words, he turned around and saw his third uncle.
"Third Uncle, my mother said that she divorced my father. You, my aunt, and the old village chief all know about it and can testify. Moreover, the village and the clan all have documents proving it!"
Third Uncle took a sip of tea, put the teacup on the table, and spoke slowly.
"You're right, we were both involved in your father and mother's divorce, so we can all testify!
Furthermore, the title deed to the house your father and his family currently live in is in your mother Shao Xue's name, and this has been registered both in the village and in our clan!"
Li Daniu couldn't help himself when he heard this. He trembled all over, but he still tried to shout loudly: "Shao Xue is talking nonsense, you are all talking nonsense, I didn't divorce Shao Xue, no!"
Third Uncle looked at Li Daniu who was so angry that he didn't want to pay any attention to him.
"Daniu, I wanted to save some face for you in front of the younger generation, but you are not doing your best!
Do you still remember why Shao Xue divorced you?
That He Zhaodi, her husband had just died, and Shao Xue was pregnant with Xiaoling at that time, and you got involved with that He Zhaodi.
That woman was pregnant, and your affair was discovered by Shao Xue.
He Zhaodi also claimed that the baby in her belly was a posthumous child, but you, me, and the old village chief all know the specific situation.
From then on, Shao Xue was no longer willing to live with you. Even after she gave birth to Xiaoling, she divorced you right after she came out of the confinement period in front of us old guys!
You did that thing with that woman, you should be paraded through the streets and reformed.
Let Shao Xue plead for you, after all, the baby in your belly is innocent!
When you went to the commune to divorce, you found out that you two didn't even have a marriage certificate, and it was a de facto marriage. You just needed to get a certificate from the village brigade.
So after you two came back from the commune, you went to Murakami to get a divorce certificate.
Not only does it have the signatures and fingerprints of you and Shao Xue, but also me, your sister-in-law, the old village chief, as a witness. I certify in four copies, one to be kept in the village, one to be kept in the clan, and two copies, one for each of you!
You won’t forget this, will you?”
Li Daniu, of course he didn't forget, but he chose to forget.
This was his shame, and he didn't want to think about it. Another point was that he treated Shao Xue as his own property.
If I tell him now that Shao Xue has nothing to do with him anymore, how can he bear it!
The third uncle shook his head when he saw him like this, and said to his eldest son: "Dahui, go get the things from the clan and show them to him so that his memory can be refreshed!"
After Uncle San finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and continued to drink water.
Li Yuanbing, that clever little guy, didn’t forget to add water!
The Third Uncle looked at Li Yuanbing lovingly again and continued, "As for the house you live in now, are you trying to say you don't remember it?"
Li Daniu nodded obediently.
Did Li Daniu really forget? Of course not, it was just that time had passed and he felt that everything should have been his. To put it bluntly, he was just trying to get away with it!
The Third Uncle glared at him again and continued, "Then I'll help you recall the time when you brought Shao Xue back and said you wanted to get married.
Shao Xue didn't want the whole family to live together, so she suggested building another house and moving out!
You also agreed, but you were afraid that the villagers would say behind your back that you were a gigolo, so you took the initiative to find the old village chief and asked him to write Shao Xue's name on the homestead and the house deed. Do you remember it now?
It’s okay if you forget, but I, an old man, dare not forget!
I want to ask you, Daniu, the money used to build the house and buy the homestead was all Shao Xue's dowry. Did you, Li Daniu, contribute a penny?
You don't cherish Shao Xue, such a good wife, but instead you have to get involved with He Zhaodi, that troublemaker.
In order to save face for you, Shao Xue kept all of this in her heart, but what did you do?
Back then, Shao Xue finally found a way to send Shu Hua to the army, but you wrote to Shu Hua without telling Shao Xue and lied that Shao Xue was seriously ill.
The child was supposed to be on a mission, but your letter full of lies distracted him and hurt him.
The child has come back to recuperate, but you still want to use your father's identity to get him discharged from the army and get a place for Zhihua!
Well, that's all. Later, Shao Xue wanted to find a job for Shuhua in the furniture factory, but how did you do it...
Let’s not talk about these things. Although Shuhua knew that you and Shao Xue had divorced a long time ago, he still listened to his mother and didn’t say it out. That’s because he is a filial child!
You can't talk nonsense and distort the facts just because your children are filial. It doesn't matter if you don't remember, we old guys are not dead yet!
Da Rui, go, call your aunt and the old village chief over and ask them if they remember this incident!
I, an old man, believe that justice lies in the hearts of the people!"
Li Daniu became completely dejected after hearing this. There was only one thing in his mind: It's over, it's over, it's really over!
