Yu Erzhu and his wife led the way, while the two brothers, Yu Dabao and Yu Erbao, followed at a distance.
Despite their youth, their physical strength is actually not as good as that of Yu Erzhu and his wife, who are middle-aged.
"Second brother, I'll help you climb up. If you get tired, just tell me, and we can rest for a while."
Yu Dabao was worried that his second brother wouldn't be able to endure the hardship of climbing mountains.
"Big brother, I'm fine. You stay close to Second Uncle and the others."
Although Yu Erbao found climbing mountains tiring, he could still persevere.
He had no choice but to endure this hardship in order to get the inheritance left by his grandmother!
"Second brother, your second aunt was deliberately making things difficult for us just now."
Hmph, if it weren't for..."
Yu Dabao still scored fifteen points.
"Big brother, keep your voice down, don't let Uncle and his wife hear you."
Yu Erbao interrupted his older brother.
"Second brother, don't worry, they can't hear us because we're far away."
Yu Dabao looked up at the two people crawling above him, and felt angry thinking about his second aunt's attitude earlier.
"Better safe than sorry. They already suspected our motives were impure."
"Brother, hurry up and climb up!"
Why bury someone so high after they've died?
Just bury it at the foot of the mountain.
However, he wasn't as foolish as his older brother, who dared to say anything.
Half an hour later, they finally reached the halfway point of the mountain.
Sure enough, under a large pine tree, they found a fresh tombstone with their grandmother's name engraved on it.
Yu Erzhu placed the offerings one by one in front of the tombstone.
He then lit three incense sticks, bowed, and said, "Mother, Da Bao and Er Bao have come back to see you."
Yang Juhua then bowed three times as well.
"Da Bao, Er Bao, come over here and kowtow to your grandma and burn paper money."
After Yu Erzhu finished speaking, he stepped aside and let Yu Dabao and his brother burn incense and offer prayers.
The two of them performed the sacrificial rites with utmost respect.
The two then burned some paper money for the dead. After they finished burning it, they rubbed their sore calves and stood up.
"Da Bao, Er Bao, now that the paper money is burned, let's go home!"
Now we're starting our descent.
"Second Uncle, there's no rush to go down the mountain. I have something to say to you both."
Now that Grandma has passed away, you have to tell us, the two brothers, about the accounts and savings she left behind.
They can't possibly refuse to give us anything at all!
Although the eldest brother and his family separated from the family, it's different, so it's problematic that their family didn't get a share.
Now, Grandma's inheritance should belong to the eldest son's wife, He, and the second son's wife, Feng.
Upon hearing Yu Dabao's words, Yu Erzhu and his wife's expressions changed instantly.
Pan Cuiping frowned, glared at Yu Dabao, and said, "Dabao, what do you mean by that?"
Your grandmother passed away suddenly, and the funeral cost a lot of money. What property would she have left to leave to you?
All the money you left at home is just over a hundred.
We even lost money ourselves for a month.
Yu Dabao disagreed. He stood up, patted the dirt off his knees, and snorted, "Second Uncle, you can't say that. Grandma worked hard her whole life."
How could I not have any savings?
Besides, shouldn't the house and land be included in the calculation?
Yu Erbao chimed in, "Yes, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, we are Grandma's own grandsons, so we should have a share of the inheritance, right?"
You can't be so selfish and try to take all of Grandma's inheritance for yourself.
Otherwise, if Grandma knew in the afterlife, she'd rise from the dead and demand an explanation from you.
Yu Erzhu's wife, Yang Juhua, was so angry that her face turned red. She put her hands on her hips and said loudly, "How dare you two mention property?"
When your grandmother passed away, there wasn't a single one of you to be seen.
Now look what's happened, the person's already in the ground, and you all come back to claim their inheritance.
"How come you guys are so good at timing? Those abacus beads are practically hitting my face!"
She had long seen through those two little brats; they were indeed up to no good.
Yu Dabao was a little embarrassed and angry after being rebuked by his second aunt. He raised his voice and said, "Second aunt, you can't say that. We were indeed delayed by something at the time, but that doesn't mean we can be deprived of our right to inherit Grandma's property."
Grandma has been laid to rest, and we can't turn back time!
Alright, Auntie, let's not change the subject anymore. We're talking about Grandma's property now.
If you don't want things to get too ugly and become public knowledge, you'd better hurry up and take out Grandma's property and divide it in half between my brother and me."
“Da Bao, Er Bao, my wife didn’t lie to you. Your grandma didn’t have any money left at all.”
The remaining hundred-odd yuan was used for the funeral, and not a single penny was left.
The village chief was also there at the time, so he knew about it too.
Yu Erzhu hadn't expected that his two nephews were really after their mother's money, not just for spending it.
"Second Uncle, please stop lying to us. My older brother and I have seen Grandma's property before."
Besides the savings, there are other valuable things, so why don't you mention them?
That's truly unbelievable.
Yu Erbao, of course, did not believe what the couple said.
Yu Dabao then wiped away his tears feigning concern and said, "Second Uncle and Second Aunt, we're just back to pay respects at Grandma's grave."
I was also thinking of resolving this property issue. We're all family, let's not make things so tense.
Isn't it better to value harmony?
Yu Erzhu was so angry that he was trembling all over. He pointed at Yu Dabao and Yu Erbao and shouted, "You two little bastards!"
