Father Su remained silent, leaving them there, jumping up and down in a fit of rage. Old Man Su, as the head of the family, quickly calmed himself. He looked at his son, who seemed like a complete stranger, and asked, "What brings you here today to discuss dividing the family property? What exactly do you want?"
When Su's father saw that they had all calmed down and stopped arguing, he looked directly at them, and Su's father looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze.
Dad, it's been twelve years since I left this house. That year, my daughter Ranran and I were just a few days old. It was winter, and the wind was biting cold. My daughter Ranran, who was still in her postpartum period, and I, along with Ranran who was only a few days old, were kicked out of the house by you and Mom under the pretext of separating the family.
Our family of three received nothing. We had no house, no money, no food. All we took were the clothes we were wearing and the two quilts we had with us. We also took some small items that Huilan brought with her when she married into the family.
With nowhere to stand, I stood on the roadside with Huilan and Ranran. An auntie who was passing by saw us with our belongings on the road and guessed that we were homeless. She told us to go to my grandparents' house and inform them.
Upon hearing the news, my grandparents rushed over and took us back to their home, where the three of us finally had a place to stay. Later, my grandparents passed away one after the other, leaving the house to me.
Even so, my parents came to my house, demanding a share of the house left by my grandparents. My eldest uncle, second uncle, and the old village chief produced a will written by my grandfather, confirming that the house was left to me, his grandson. My eldest uncle and second uncle both agreed to give me the house.
Parents insisted that you also had a share in the house and that a portion of it must be given to you. Later, the old village chief said, "Since you want a share of the house left by your grandparents, I can also get a share of the house you're living in." The solution was that you give up the house left by your grandparents, and I would give up the house you're living in.
Am I right in saying these things, Father and Mother? If I've said anything wrong, please point it out. Recalling this memory, Su's father felt terrible, because he thought of his wife, who had just given birth in the dead of winter and was kicked out of the house. The suffering his Huilan had endured was a thorn in his heart. So the more he spoke, the colder his expression became.
When Old Man Su heard what Su's father said, he looked a little awkward. Thinking about how Su's father had said it in front of so many outsiders, he felt even more ashamed of what had happened back then.
Old Mrs. Su was a heartless and unkind woman. She also disliked her second son, who resembled his father too much. Her in-laws had objected, and the old man had insisted on marrying her, saying that one should marry a virtuous wife. She only married him after becoming pregnant with their eldest son.
She immediately started cursing, "Second brother, so many years have passed, why are you bringing this up again? Do you regret it and want to take your older brother's house? Let me tell you, you rebellious devil, don't even think about it. Everything in the house belongs to your older brother, it has nothing to do with you."
Second brother, if you really want to come to my door demanding a share of the house and belongings, I advise you to go back. You've already moved out; there's no reason for you to come back and take your elder brother's things. Old Su looked down on you with an air of superiority.
Father Su sneered. It was utterly ridiculous. He considered himself a good person, but in his parents' eyes, he was just a villain who fought with his elder brother for the family property. What had he done in his past life to deserve this? His parents didn't love him and treated him like an outsider.
Mom and Dad, you've got it wrong. I'm not trying to fight with my older brother for any house or possessions. From the moment I stepped out of this house, I never imagined I'd ever come back.
Today I'm asking for the family division agreement. Back then, you kicked me out of the house under the pretense of dividing the family property, but I never received any family division agreement.
