Chapter 112 Fairness



Zhao Denglong and Zhao Wanzi were responsible for taking care of their younger sister at home, while He Tiantian put on the clothes that Sister-in-law Yulan had made for her and went out.

Even though it's this era, He Tiantian still maintains the habit of dressing up before going out.

Although she couldn't wear makeup, she still made sure to look clean and neat.

This was the first time the original owner had returned to Old Zhao's house since being kicked out.

Using the original owner's memories, He Tiantian quickly arrived at the destination.

By this time, the courtyard was already packed with people. Several elderly men, including Zhao Tingzhang, were already sitting in the main room.

He Tiantian thought to herself, "This matter has become quite a big deal."

Everyone inside looked serious, while everyone outside looked on with gossip in their eyes.

The sons and grandsons of the Zhao family were all standing in the middle of the main room, and He Tiantian saw Tao Shi's figure inside.

Not only Tao, but also Cheng.

Isn't this guy working at a restaurant in the county? Tsk... looks like he rushed back specifically for the family division.

Just as she was thinking this, He Tiantian felt her clothes being tugged.

In the blink of an eye, they saw Zhao Yanniang, who then recounted in detail everything that had just happened.

Finally, she lowered her voice and asked quietly, "Wanzi's mother, let me see if you can go in and reason with them. Your family should also have a share of the Zhao family's property, even if it's just a penny."

He Tiantian nodded, agreeing with Zhao Yanniang's point.

After all, in this era, the sons all have a share in the old man's property.

So He Tiantian went into the house. Instead of standing like Tao and Cheng, she skillfully moved a stool from the inner room and sat down.

"I heard that your Zhao family is going to divide the property, and Xiangyang will also have a share. Although he is dead, all the money he earned before is still in his mother's hands."

"No wonder Xiangyang has been appearing in my dreams these past few days, asking me to come back and discuss this matter properly. Otherwise, he said he wouldn't feel at ease."

He Tiantian said in a serious tone that she was using the deceased Zhao Xiangyang as a shield.

Zhao Yanniang was also perceptive. She exclaimed, "Oh my, it seems that Xiangyang's spirit has appeared. He sees how hard it is for you orphans and widows. If you are not doing well, he will not be at peace in heaven!"

Old Mrs. Zhao was seething with anger. She wanted to kick He Tiantian out the moment she walked in.

But I never expected that this bitch would bring up her dead son. Did her son really appear in her dream? Or is this bitch just talking nonsense!

The last person Cheng wanted to see was He Tiantian. When she heard what He Tiantian was saying, she realized that He Tiantian also wanted a share of the pie.

dream!

Cheng snorted coldly, "I've never heard of a dead person appearing in a dream before. He, you're living so well, you must look down on our Zhao family's meager wealth!"

Families who eat meat every day want to come to their homes where there aren't even bones to gnaw on and take advantage of them. They have no conscience at all.

He Tiantian shook her head. "No, no, no, Third Sister-in-law, you're being too polite. I'm here today entirely at Xiangyang's request. Otherwise, even if your Zhao family invited me, I wouldn't have come."

He Tiantian kept mentioning Zhao Xiangyang, and every word she said felt like a knife being plunged into Old Lady Zhao's heart.

Her dead son, her most promising son, a talent cut short by heaven!

"You're no longer a member of the Zhao family, you have nothing to do with us, don't even think about taking a share of the property!" Old Mrs. Zhao angrily pounded the ground with her cane.

This despicable woman not only killed his son, but she also has the nerve to show her face!

He Tiantian looked at Old Lady Zhao with unwavering determination, and sneered, "Old woman, your Zhao family has nothing to do with me now, but before Xiangyang died, the money he earned should have belonged to my daughter and me. Now I'm just taking it back!"

"Besides, I neither divorced Xiangyang nor was I divorced, so why shouldn't I get a share of the Zhao family's assets?"

It was common knowledge in the whole village that He Tiantian had been kicked out of her home by Old Lady Zhao.

At that time, those who were not discerning did not see how capable He was, and instead took advantage of her misfortune.

Now that they know the He family's capabilities, even if they can't curry favor with them, they don't want to offend them.

What if she finds another way to earn money in the future?

"You...you shrew!" Old Mrs. Zhao was so angry that her teeth itched.

Madam Cheng also looked wary, as if protecting her food. "Your husband is dead, what's the point of worrying about the family fortune? You don't have any sons! You've given birth to three who are just a waste of money! If your second brother knew you were carrying a girl, he'd probably die of anger a second time!"

He Tiantian didn't even glance at Cheng Shi; instead, she turned her gaze to Zhao Tingzhang.

"Chief, you be the judge. When I was kicked out of the house with my two children, I was foolish enough not to argue. My Xiangyang has earned money for this family for over ten years; you can't say we're left with nothing, can you?"

Zhao Tingzhang frowned and looked at the old people standing by the Zhao family's gate.

The elderly people looked away in shame, clearly not wanting to get involved.

“Chief Zhao, I know your family is usually quite close to the He family. But you are the chief, so you must handle this matter fairly!” Cheng reminded him, her sharp features and monkey-like face pointing towards him.

The tone was as if he was afraid that Zhao Tingzhang would defend He Tiantian.

Zhao Tingzhang's head ached whenever he heard Cheng speak. Ever since Cheng married into their village, he had been dealing with endless cases, big and small.

"Old sister-in-law, you have three sons..." Zhao Tingzhang had no choice but to turn his gaze to Old Lady Zhao.

“Now we only have two sons,” Old Mrs. Zhao corrected.

Zhao Tingzhang paused for a moment after being rebuked, then continued, "Now that the family has divided, there are two sons. According to the usual practice of dividing the family property, the house, land, and money are divided equally... What are your thoughts on this, old sister-in-law?"

When Mrs. Cheng heard that the money had to be divided equally, she was definitely not happy about it!

Because the eldest sister-in-law's son, Da Niu, spent a lot of money on his wedding, and the old woman also had seventy coins in her savings.

No matter what, their family hands over more money.

Moreover, the family has nine rooms of various sizes, three of which are new. How should they be divided?

Old Mrs. Zhao had long planned this matter. Although it was Tao who proposed the division of the family, she knew very well what kind of people her eldest son's family was.

On the other hand, the youngest son's family is all talk and no action.

When she gets old and can't move, if she really relies on her youngest son's family, she probably won't even have a coffin to sleep in after she dies.

Thinking of this, Old Lady Zhao said, "We have ten mu of land, five mu each for the two brothers. We have nine rooms, four for your family and one for me."

Hearing this, it's somewhat fair.
