"Auntie, you've gone too far! That land originally belonged to our family. Why won't you let us get the land deed?" Tian Xiao'e said angrily.
Yang Guiyun had a smug look on her face. "I didn't say you couldn't get the land deed. I just said I wouldn't sign it. So what? What are you going to do about it?"
“There’s not even a son in the family, yet they still want to divide up the land. The Tian family has never had anything like this before. If word gets out, people will laugh their heads off!” At this moment, Uncle Tian Wei, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
Now that the eldest son, Tian Guang, has passed away, apart from the old lady, Tian Wei's words carry the most weight.
As soon as he spoke, everyone started to agree.
"That's right, there has never been such a thing as giving land to maids since ancient times!"
"The land belonging to the Tian family cannot be registered under another surname!"
"Now that Tian Guang is dead, this land should be taken back and distributed among everyone!"
The crowd was abuzz with discussion, and some even demanded that Lin Fang's land be taken back and divided among everyone.
This infuriated Lin Fang and her son!
"You! You've really gone too far!" Tian Xiao'e cried out in anger.
Lin Fang pounded her chest and said, "When Tian Guang was alive, he didn't treat you badly, did he? Ask yourselves honestly, which of you didn't receive help from Tian Guang? Now that he's dead, you're bullying us orphans and widows like this? Have you all lost your conscience?"
Faced with this question, the Tian family members all looked somewhat uneasy.
Because what Lin Fang said was true. Although Tian Guang was a scoundrel when he was alive, he treated his family members well. He always contributed money and effort, and even helped several children in the clan find jobs.
"Alright!" At this moment, the old lady finally spoke up, smoothing things over, "Let's put this matter aside for now and talk about it later!"
"The land is there, it's not going anywhere. Lin Fang, don't be too anxious. Let me and the village chief discuss this further!" the old lady said to Lin Fang.
Later again?
Lin Fang shook her head helplessly. She had brought this up with the old lady several times, but each time the old lady would use the same excuse to brush her off. She waited, but nothing came of it.
In fact, she knew in her heart that the old lady did not want the three of them to get the land deed at all!
They even wanted to take the land back and give it to Tian Wei's family; their intentions were completely wicked!
But at that moment, she was helpless. The matter simply passed by in a daze.
Next, we discussed the relocation of the high-speed rail station.
The old lady had previously said that today's discussion was only about relocation matters, and that the division of property was not mentioned.
But now that Lin Yu won't lend them the big villa, she doesn't care anymore and directly confesses to everyone.
“The village committee has already contacted me, saying they can compensate me with 2.2 million yuan! You all know I’m old now, there’s no use for me keeping the money! It will definitely be distributed to you!” The old lady said, subtly tapping her pipe.
Two million two hundred thousand?
Upon hearing this number, everyone's eyes lit up.
Two million is no small sum; in Qingyuan, that's enough to make you look good!
But they also knew that the money had to be divided among the family; no one could keep it all for themselves!
The old lady's meaning was quite clear: this involved the issue of elder care.
Yang Guiyun spoke first, her face full of flattery: "Mom, you see, you only have Tianwei as your son now. Most of the relocation compensation should go to Tianwei, isn't that reasonable?"
"Don't worry! Tianwei and I will take good care of you! Xiaojun is getting married soon, so our mission will be accomplished. Tianwei and I will bring you home and serve you well!"
The old lady's eyes lit up.
That's what she was thinking too. She only has one son left, so naturally she wanted to stay with her son in her old age. In Qingyuan, she had never heard of anyone staying with their daughter in their old age.
This involves their own interests, which others may not be happy about.
"Aunt, you're wrong. The law stipulates that children have inheritance rights!"
"Besides, we can take turns taking care of the old lady! You stay at your house for a few days, and I stay at mine for a few days. Isn't that how it is in the city now?"
"That's right! Retirement isn't just the responsibility of one's children anymore; we can all help share the burden!"
"Mom, why don't you come stay at our house tonight? We'll have a pork stew tonight, and we'll have blood sausage!"
"Grandma, let's go to our house instead. Your granddaughter will cook for you herself!"
Goodness, in the end, everyone started scrambling for it.
The old lady felt a headache coming on. In fact, she knew that if she gave all the money to her son, her daughters would not agree.
"Alright, alright!" She thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it this way. Tian Wei gets half, which is one million. The remaining one million two hundred thousand will be split among the three of you, four hundred thousand each. Is that alright now?"
The old lady had a total of five children: two sons and three daughters.
Her words implied that the remaining 1.2 million yuan would be divided equally among her three daughters, and Lin Fang's family had nothing to do with it.
Now, Lin Fang couldn't sit still any longer.
"Mom, even though Tian Guang is gone, we are still members of the Tian family. When Tian Guang was alive, we took good care of you, didn't we? Shouldn't we get a share of the demolition compensation?" Lin Fang said indignantly.
The old lady sneered, "One thing at a time. It's your duty to be filial to me! I raised my son all these years, shouldn't he be filial to me? That's not a reason for you to ask me for my property! Besides, I've already asked around, and my daughter-in-law has no right to inherit! So, I won't give you this money!"
Good heavens, when they were signing the land agreement, nobody mentioned the law, but now that they're dividing the money, they're suddenly bringing up the law. What a double standard!
Tian Xiao'e burst into tears on the spot, "Grandma, you are so biased! When my father was alive, he helped the Tian family so much. Even your house was repaired by my father, which cost more than 500,000 yuan. Did we ask you for it?"
"My father is gone, and the three of us are in trouble, but you treat us like this? Have you all lost your conscience?" Tian Xiao'e shouted loudly.
"Insolence!" Tian Wei immediately stepped forward and scolded, "Tian Xiao'e, how dare you speak to your grandmother like that? You're just a junior, don't you know any manners? Are you trying to rebel against the Heavenly Gang?"
Tian Xiao'e shook her head and said angrily, "It's not that I'm rebelling against the Heavenly Gang, it's that you relatives are behaving badly! It's that the old lady favors boys over girls! It's that you are immoral for bullying us orphans and widows, you will be punished!"
"How dare you!!" The old lady's face turned red. She was always the one who had the final say at home, and no one had ever dared to disobey her. She never expected to be scolded by her granddaughter. How could she tolerate this!
"Tian Xiao'e, don't think that just because you don't have a father, no one will discipline you! Today, your grandmother is going to teach you a lesson! Guards! Bring out the family discipline!" the old lady yelled.
Upon hearing this, Lin Fang's expression changed drastically!
