“We all share the surname Huang, so naturally we should have a share of those things. It’s not a good time to bring it up today; we’ll ask for it when we go home another day. I’m a son of the Huang family, just like your third uncle. Our parents are gone, so we should all get the land and houses that are rightfully ours.”
After the birthday banquet, everyone returned to the Huang family home. Huang Zhenhua sat on the sofa without saying a word, and it was obvious to everyone that he was angry. Huang Taihe spoke up, "Father, what do you think we should do about this?"
Huang Zhenhua glanced at everyone in the living room and said, "I have made a will and had it notarized for all my belongings. I have divided everything into three parts. One part for you two, Taihe and Xiaoshi; one part for you two, Taizhou and Xiaoyi; and one part for Xingran."
Huang Zhenhua left the living room, went to his room to get a box, and returned to the living room to place it on the coffee table. He opened the box and took out a stack of documents.
Placing the paper on the coffee table, Huang Zhenhua continued, "There are a total of five houses in the family. Three of them originally belonged to the Huang family, one was Qingxiao's dowry, and the other was one I bought when I was young. The houses were allocated as follows: Taihe and his wife each received two houses, and Taizhou and his wife each received two houses. The one I live in now was given to Xingran."
"The land for those shops included Qingxiao's dowry and land passed down through generations of the Huang family. Now it's all back in my hands. The land for the pharmacy was given to Xingran, and the rest were given to Taihe and his wife, and Taizhou and his wife."
Huang Zhenhua took a sip of tea, paused, and said, "I don't think those two people came back simply to invest. When they left, they took everything that was visible in the house. They probably still have their eyes on the land and houses."
"But they had no chance of getting it. They unilaterally published a notice in the newspaper severing ties with their families and reported the Huang and Gu families. Later, with the help of those people, they went overseas. After the Huang and Gu families were saved, my parents immediately published a notice in the newspaper to sever their father-son and mother-son relationships with those two people. They were also removed from the Huang family's genealogy. Those two people were not listed on the Huang family's household registration."
"Everything under my name was notarized by my parents before it came into my hands. I don't know when I'll close my eyes and leave this world, so the three of you should take good care of your things. I'm tired today and want to rest early, so you should all go and rest early too."
Huang Taihe gave Huang Taizhou and Su Xingran a wink, signaling them to be quiet and listen to the old man. Everyone understood that Huang Zhenhua was definitely upset, so they obeyed and left to go home.
Three days after the birthday banquet, Huang Zhenguo and Huang Zhenmin visited the Huang family, but the family refused to visit them. They returned the next day, but the Huang family still refused to visit them.
A week later, a news article in Beijing reported that an overseas Chinese businessman was repeatedly turned away from his family while trying to return to China to invest. This immediately attracted public attention. Soon, the newspapers revealed who the family members of the overseas Chinese businessman who had been turned away were.
The Huang family suddenly became the focus of news, with only Huang Zhenhua's name appearing in the reports. The rest of the Huang family members did not appear in the newspapers. The person who released this news was clever; Huang Zhenhua had already retired and was no longer a military officer. Huang Taihe and Huang Taizhou were still serving in the military as officers. Since officers were not involved, this was a family matter.
