Wen Zhichao nodded without hesitation, and the second brother pointed at Wen Zhichao and was so angry that he couldn't speak.
In fact, this was originally secretly saved by my father-in-law, and even my mother-in-law didn't know. After everyone packed up my father-in-law's things, the second son's wife sneaked back to see if the old man had any good things. Everyone knew the second son's wife's personality, so they followed her secretly. Unexpectedly, she really found a passbook. Fortunately, everyone followed, otherwise the second son's family would have taken it all.
The second son's wife was very dissatisfied and shouted, "He is so rich, why does he need my father-in-law's money? I found the passbook, I should get a bigger share! Consider it my contribution!"
Wen Zhichao kicked him. "How dare you say that! Who killed Dad? I'm already showing respect by letting you sit here and giving you some things, and you still have the nerve to say you deserve credit! Is the credit for killing Dad?! It was you, woman, who led my second brother astray. He's never been so estranged from us brothers before! You even instigated my parents to dislike me. If it were before, I would have had you divorced by the clan!"
The second sister-in-law screamed and sat down on the ground. Xia Ruzheng felt very relieved. It was always the second sister-in-law who was causing trouble. Originally, the relationship with the mother-in-law was OK, but it was because of her mouth that the mother-in-law always disliked her, and the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became so bad!
The second son didn't even dare to help his wife, for fear that Wen Zhichao would vent his anger on him.
Wen Zhichao sat down and said, "Today we're dividing the family property. Just listen to me. Whatever we're given is what we get. Just because of how Dad died, we can give you nothing at all!"
If we want to investigate, the second son does have to bear some responsibility. Legally speaking, he is the direct person at fault for the old man's death, so he can't inherit any property.
Everyone thought, no wonder Wen Zhichao hadn't lost his temper, he'd been waiting! The second son's family deserved it too! Not only did they kill their father, but they even had the nerve to say they wanted a bigger share. Isn't that like killing someone and then giving the murderer a bigger share of the estate? No one could accept that!
The second sister-in-law got up in a mess and sat there, not daring to say a word.
The eldest brother was also smart. While Wen Zhichao was still around, he said that they should just divide the land to avoid further wrangling. With Wen Zhichao around, the second brother's family didn't dare to argue anymore.
Everyone thought so too, and soon everyone took their own land one after another. The worst one was of course left to the second family. The second family dared not say anything, so everyone immediately wrote a note, signed it and put their fingerprints on it.
Then the farm tools were distributed. The eldest family got a cow, and the others got plows and other tools, basically one for each family, and the worst one was given to the second oldest family.
In the end, except for the second family who were not very satisfied, the others did not feel that they had any major dissatisfaction. In the matter of dividing the family, everyone would feel that they had received a bad share and suffered a loss. However, compared with the second family, thinking about Wen Zhichao being in charge, they did not dare to have any other objections.
After the family was divided, it was already late at night. Everyone made some midnight snacks, ate them, and went to bed. However, the second family didn't even have a midnight snack and left.
My father-in-law was actually quite clever. While other families hid their money, he kept it in a bankbook. Even if someone discovered it, they couldn't access the money because they needed the password. This time, using the old man's death certificate, they were able to withdraw the money from the bank. Even my father-in-law could save tens of thousands of yuan, which shows how much money Wen Zhichao has sent home over the years.
The next day, Wen Zhichao and Xia Ruzheng packed up their things and drove their eldest brother to the town to withdraw money, giving him Wen Zhichao's share. Wen Zhichao drove his brother to the village entrance, then he and his wife went to his father-in-law's house, and the family returned to Guangzhou as quickly as possible.
Wen Zhichao quietly saved that inheritance and never used it again. It remained there forever. Perhaps this was his last connection with the old man.
After returning to Guangzhou, Xia Ruzheng couldn't help but hug his father and said, "Dad, you must live a long and long life."
Xia Chunfu is now over 80 years old, but he still looks good. Although he has some rheumatism and diseases such as high blood pressure, Xia Ruzheng knows a good doctor who treated the rheumatism for the old man, which has relieved a lot of his symptoms. He has taken good care of himself in recent years and is in a good mood, so he still looks quite healthy.
Xia Chunfu felt quite sad as he watched his peers gradually pass away. He hugged his daughter and didn't know what to say.
