It is now 1978, and there are still seven years until my country officially promulgates and implements the Inheritance Law!
The legal provisions regarding inheritance are entirely based on the Marriage Law, which states that spouses, parents, and children have the right to inherit from each other.
In terms of real-world social practice, there are traditional norms for how to inherit a business that have been formed over thousands of years. The idea of sons inheriting their fathers' businesses is an ironclad rule that almost no one would question.
But now, when Grandma Jiang produced a bequest and support agreement, everyone was in an uproar.
What is this?!
Grandma Jiang shook the paper and explained loudly, "I drafted this bequest and support agreement. I am now an old woman with no direct relatives, and I want to sign a contract with Li Xiangdong. Li Xiangdong will be my supporter and will be responsible for my life, death and funeral. After I die, everything will belong to Li Xiangdong."
Grandma Jiang looked at Li Xiangdong and asked softly, "Do you agree?"
Li Xiangdong walked over, took the paper and pen from his master, and quickly signed his name.
I agree!
"I disagree!"
Jiang Fang gritted his teeth and said angrily. He walked over in a few steps, snatched the paper from Li Xiangdong's hand, and tore it up in a few quick movements.
He approached Old Mrs. Jiang and said fiercely, with a completely defiant attitude, "I am a member of the Jiang family, and I must take responsibility for your life, upbringing, and funeral!"
Grandma Jiang's eyes were icy cold. "You have a path to heaven but choose not to, so you come to hell by default!"
She didn't want to push things too far, but some people forced her to do it!
...
Jiang Fang entered Grandma Jiang's house with an extremely assertive attitude. He settled his wife and children in the west room, while he sat in the main room and made himself a pot of tea without any hesitation.
The others exchanged bewildered glances, unsure how the situation would unfold in a dramatic way.
Yan Guohui looked at Grandma Jiang and Li Xiangdong, "What, what should we do?"
We can't just have them all arrested and thrown out!
The key issue is that nobody wants to be the bad guy.
Truly, shamelessness knows no bounds.
Li Xiangdong sneered. The people of Quanshui Village didn't want to offend anyone, but the people of Lijiapo weren't afraid. He was about to go back to the village to call for reinforcements when Old Lady Jiang stopped him.
...
Time flies.
When the continuous sirens sounded outside, not even half of the onlookers in the yard had left!
"Make way, make way!"
"Police office!"
A dozen or so burly police officers, dressed in uniforms with guns at their waists, entered in single file with solemn and tense expressions.
Li Xiangdong followed silently behind, silently wishing Jiang Fang's family well.
"Director Chen, this is Jiang Fang!"
Li Xiangdong introduced Jiang Fang, who was sitting motionless in the center of the main room, looking somewhat disdainful.
Jiang Fang slowly savored the finest jasmine tea, a blend of seven infusions of jasmine and perfume.
This old woman's daily life is so luxurious; it seems she has plenty of good things in her possession!
"Hello! This is Jiang Fang, a police officer from Huichuan County Public Security Bureau."
Jiang Fang finally raised his head, and said with an extremely nonchalant attitude, "Someone said I trespassed? Heh~"
Chen Yi dared to ask again, "Are you Jiang Fang?"
"You dare call me by my name? Go ask Wang Jianguo if you have any questions!"
If it were anyone else, they might immediately have some doubts about this kind of official arrogance, but the person standing in front of him now was Chen Yigan!
Besides, given what Jiang Fang did, the fact that Chen Yi hasn't pinned him to the ground yet is a testament to his composure.
"Cuff him!"
Chen Yi waved his hand, uttering two cold and ruthless words.
The police behind him quickly handcuffed Jiang Fang with gleaming silver handcuffs.
Hearing the commotion, the mother and her two children, who were resting in the west room, came out and saw that their husband had been handcuffed by the police. They immediately rushed over and prevented the police from taking Jiang Fang away.
"Cuff them all too!"
At Chen Yigan's command, Jiang Fang and his family of four were all handcuffed.
Jiang Fang's wife slapped herself with a "crack".
"Take them all! Let's go!"
He came and went in a hurry; Chen Yigan was like a tornado, sweeping away Jiang Fang's family of four.
Yan Guohui, filled with suspicion, chased away the onlookers in the courtyard and then comforted Old Madam Jiang, implying that he was on her side.
Goodness, Li Xiangdong has incredible influence; he can even get the police to help him!
Li Xiangdong chuckled and teased him, "Alright, Captain Yan, you did a good job just now!"
Yan Guohui finally felt relieved and patted his chest, saying, "My mother always told me to treat my aunt well, so this is just what I should do!"
Once the house and surroundings were quiet and there were no outsiders around, Li Xiangdong asked Grandma Jiang, "How did you come to have such a deadly thing in your hands?"
Grandma Jiang carefully combed her loose hair back into her bun with a comb before saying softly, "When the Japanese were defeated, Hancheng burned all the letters and documents between him and the Japanese. But he overlooked something important and didn't know that his son was also in contact with the Japanese in private."
"At that time, the entire Jiang family was in chaos, and later these letters ended up in my hands."
It seems that although Old Madam Jiang has openly withdrawn from Yanjing City and retreated to a small village in Zhao Province, she has still kept a trick up her sleeve!
"I originally intended to take these things with me underground, but who knew this beast would be so greedy as to try and swallow an elephant!"
...
The Jiang family, who had been arrested, disappeared without a trace. Only Chen Yigan came to see Old Madam Jiang and Li Xiangdong intermittently a few times to take their statements.
Li Xiangdong didn't say much or ask many questions. It was the last time Chen Yigan left that he saw him off. Chen Yigan whispered to him, "Tell the old lady that she can live a peaceful life now."
Li Xiangdong uttered two words, "Gone?"
Chen Yi did not answer.
...
Many years later, Li Xiangdong and Chen Yigan, who was then the top official in the provincial department, sat down for a drink together.
Someone started the conversation, and Li Xiangdong asked whether Jiang Fang was alive or dead.
Chen Yi dared to pick up a peanut, put it in his mouth, chew it, swallow it, and then slowly told him that Jiang Fang had been in contact with the Japanese. Because of Grandma Jiang's report, they followed the clues and destroyed a spy gang in one fell swoop.
Li Xiangdong's eyes widened at that moment. It seemed that the Japanese devils were still determined to destroy us!
Of course, Li Xiangdong is unaware of these things at the moment.
Without Jiang Fang, Li Xiangdong and Old Lady Jiang signed a bequest and support agreement in the presence of Yan Guohui, Li Jin, Doctor Gu, Old Lady Hong, Zhu Tusheng, and others.
Therefore, Li Xiangdong officially took charge of Old Mrs. Jiang's life, upbringing, and funeral.
Time flies, and the artificially cultured lobsters grew to three or four pounds without any major setbacks, indicating that the artificial seawater preparation technology has been initially successful.
