"Why should she take half of it with just two words? I don't agree." Chen's mother still refused to agree stubbornly.
"Okay, if you don't agree, then we're a commune. Let's talk this over and see how much money you can get.
I just mentioned it for granted. Chen Yong has a son. Logically, the house should be divided into three parts, one for each of you, Chen Yi, and Tian Meixue.
"Now Tian Meixue is kind and righteous, and only takes half, which is already good enough. If you go to the commune to deal with it, you might get even less." The branch secretary shouted.
Generally speaking, in rural areas, these family affairs are rarely reported to the police. Instead, they ask the village party secretary to judge and mediate and handle the matter as appropriate.
The branch secretary actually didn’t understand much about the law. After all, the laws of that era were not perfect and people’s legal awareness was very weak.
He was just analyzing the matter rationally from a fairness perspective. There had been some examples in the past where the situation was handled roughly the same way: when the man of the family passed away, his parents, wife, and children should all inherit a certain amount of property, which was divided into three parts, one part for each person.
After hearing this, Chen's mother was shocked. How could the amount be getting smaller and smaller? She stopped being stubborn and said immediately, "Half and half."
Tian Meixue also relaxed. If they could get half of it, it would be fine. She didn't want to let them get it for free.
Under the witness of the branch secretary, they signed a document to determine the ownership of the house, half for each of them. Tian Meixue also asked the branch secretary to write that after the division of property, Tian Meixue and Chen Yi no longer had any obligations to the two elders of the Chen family, neither supporting them when they were alive nor burying them when they died, and they no longer had any connection with them.
She now has a huge sum of money, and she is afraid that when Chen's mother sees that she is living a good life, she will rely on her.
Mother Chen scoffed, but she also agreed. After all, Tian Meixue was so miserable now. She didn't know when she would go hungry and come to their house. She had to help them out because of the relationship.
Both of them had their own plans and didn't want to have anything to do with each other anymore, so the matter was handled very smoothly.
Tian Meixue needs to move out within three days, and Chen's mother needs to give her half of the house sale price. If the house is not sold within a month, she will be given a discount of 80 yuan based on the approximate price.
Out of kindness and to generate income for the village, the branch secretary also gave Tian Meixue an idea.
When the village used to eat from a big pot, there were many adobe houses. They are now vacant and rather dilapidated, but if they were installed with a kang, a new roof, and a small courtyard wall, they would still be habitable. She can buy two of them, and the villagers can give her a very good deal, after all, they are made of adobe and are dilapidated.
Tian Meixue couldn't think of any better solution at the moment, so she made up her mind and agreed.
The branch secretary indeed gave her a very suitable price: two shabby houses for twenty yuan, which was very cheap, but they were indeed very shabby.
Tian Meixue carefully looked at all the adobe houses and finally chose two houses on the side that were relatively sturdy.
Then, for the next three days, I worked non-stop to find people to help build a kang, build a stove, replace the roof, cut tree stumps to build a courtyard wall, and clean and repair the inside of the house.
On the fourth day, she finally moved into her new home. Although it was a bit dilapidated, it was her own.
These days she has been subjected to a lot of contempt and ridicule. It turns out that being a widow is not as good as she thought. She wants to find someone to work, such as repairing the kang and changing the roof, but the young and strong men are unwilling to come. The women in the family also disagree, as they are afraid of gossip.
Tian Meixue can only find some older men who do the work, which is hard and frightening, and they pay high wages. She has no choice because she has no man.
Chen's mother went back and told her family about the humiliation she suffered today. There was nothing she could do. Since the branch secretary had said so, they could only accept it. Fortunately, they could get half of it back.
They quickly contacted the family that needed the house to divide. The family was a little uncomfortable with Chen Yong's death in the house and was afraid, so they didn't dare to take their house, even if they lowered the price.
Finally, I asked several families again, but no one dared to take the house, saying it was unlucky. With Chen Yong's character, who would be willing to live in a house where he had lived, not to mention that he died in it.
In the end, the Chen family didn't sell the house even after a month. They had spent a lot of money to build the house, spending more than one hundred or nearly two hundred yuan, but now they can't sell it.
I have to give Tian Meixue a discount of eighty. The house hasn't been sold yet and I still have to pay eighty. I have lost both the wife and the army.
Mother Chen was so angry that her teeth were itching.
Until the end, Chen's mother was unable to sell the house. Many years later, when Chen's father and mother grew old, they were sent by the old family to live in this dilapidated house, and eventually died in this house.
That’s all in the past.
Since moving to the new home, Tian Meixue has been having nightmares at night. She dreams that when Chen Yong was around, he beat her to death. The pain of the wounds in the dream is particularly clear.
He also dreamed that he was left alone and helpless after Chen Yong's death. He had taken great pains to raise Chen Yi, but he became a well-known street urchin just like Chen Yi.
He tried to be strong all his life, but did not get a good result. His child was useless, and he eventually died of illness on a cold winter night.
In her dream, Gu Tingzhou, whom she had previously dated, ended up becoming a high-ranking officer in the army.
His two children also became very successful later in life.
The fate of the people around me is like a movie playing in my mind, so real.
Another night, time to wake up from the dream.
Tian Meixue turned over and sat up. She realized that she was not dreaming at all, but had memories of her past life. In that life, she did not live a happy life.
Fortunately, the child is still young and she is young, so there is still time to change everything.
(Li Qingyun traveled through time and space into the book. The memories of Tian Meixue in the book are from a much earlier period and are different from those in the book. Please do not confuse them.)
Tian Meixue excitedly sorted out her memory, and she was surprised to find that the fate of everyone else in her memory matched, except for one person, that was Gu Tingzhou's wife Li Zhaodi.
In her memory, Gu Tinghua in her previous life mentioned that Li Zhaodi was very bad to the two children, beating and scolding them, and Gu Tingzhou had no feelings for her, which led to her being deceived and jumping off a train and dying. Gu Tingzhou later took the two children and joined the army.
Gu Tinghua also said that his brother raised two children alone, and the children were very successful. Gu Tingzhou also became a high-ranking official, and it was difficult for others to see him.
But there was obviously a big deviation in this life. In the only two contacts she had with Li Zhaodi, she felt that this woman was by no means a good person.
She is also good to children. Gu Tinghua said that her two children are raised very carefully, and the second child even drinks milk powder which is difficult to get.
What surprised her even more was that Gu Tingzhou was obviously very obedient to Li Zhaodi, and they were very affectionate with each other, which was completely different from what she remembered.
Is her memory inaccurate, or has Li Zhaodi also been reborn?
