"Wang Yuhai." I enlarged the document and pointed to the name on it: "Is this you?"
"it's me."
I immediately felt suspicious: "Didn't something happen to this landlord a long time ago? Who are you?"
Wang Yuhai took a deep breath: "Wang Yushan is my brother. After he died, this house should be given to his son."
As he spoke, he pointed to the young man next to him: "This is Wang Yushan's son, Wang Zhen."
Wang Zhen glanced at me timidly, and the brief eye contact was considered as a greeting between the two of us.
"My house belongs to us. Logically speaking, you shouldn't come."
Wang Yuhai cleared his throat vigorously, as if he was trying to hide something: "The house has indeed been sold, but the contents have not been taken away."
"Let's come here and take stock and leave in a moment."
I moved out of the way to let them go in first, and Wang Yuhai strode upstairs.
Seeing that Wang Zhen didn't move, he turned around and urged, "What are you doing here?"
Wang Zhen muttered softly: "I want to take a look here."
I gave Xu Mo a look and told him to put the knife away first.
Wang Zhen walked a few steps inside and directly saw the incense burner on the ground.
He looked at me, then at the incense burner, his face filled with sorrow: "Are you Taoist priests?"
"Can you do me a favor?"
Wang Zhen didn’t care whether I was listening or not, he kept talking.
"My parents died when I was very young. I have never met them. I don't know what my parents looked like."
"you……"
Wang Zhen hesitated: "Can you let me see them?"
I didn't respond directly, but focused my eyes on the shoes on his feet.
The temperature outside is minus 30 degrees Celsius, and I don’t dare to stay outside for a long time wearing cotton shoes. This pair of shoes will freeze you to death!
"You have never met your parents. Your uncle raised you?"
"Um."
Wang Zhen nodded cautiously: "Since I can remember, my uncle has been by my side."
It is recorded in the information Liang Hai gave me that this house was sold probably more than 20 years ago, and the transaction price was more than 500,000.
At that time when the per capita income was 1,000 yuan, those who could spend such a large amount of money to buy a house definitely had good family conditions.
When his parents passed away, they would definitely leave behind a considerable legacy. Even if they were in dire straits, they would at least be well-off.
I handed the car keys to Xu Mo: "There is a new pair of shoes in the trunk, please bring them over."
In a sense, we can be considered as fallen people in the world.
The biggest regret in a person's life is that he has no father or mother. When he goes out and feels wronged, he doesn't know who to cry to.
Xu Mo brought the cotton shoes over. Wang Zhen looked at them intently for a while and shook his head firmly.
"If you really want to help me, just let me see my parents."
Before I could say anything, Wang Yuhai's voice suddenly sounded from above his head: "The inventory is over, hurry up and leave."
"This house doesn't even belong to you, why are you still looking here?"
In his words, Wang Yuhai was obviously full of irritability and dissatisfaction.
This is not like what an uncle would do.
Seeing this, I immediately said, "Even if the child doesn't want his parents, aren't you going to see your brother?"
"I have been dead for so many years, and there is someone missing from my family. After all, I should have something to think about."
Seeing that Wang Yuhai was about to speak again, I immediately said, "It's perfectly normal for a child to want to see his parents. Do you want to stop him?"
"Are you really this child's biological uncle?"
Wang Yuhai frowned: "Is he my biological uncle? It's your turn as an outsider to take care of me?"
I took out my phone, dialed a few numbers, and then shook it at him: "How about we talk somewhere else?"
Wang Yuhai immediately lost his arrogance and reluctantly said, "Just watch it if you want to."
I stared at him intently for a while, already making a plan in my mind.
Turning around, I looked at Wang Zhen: "I'm not a bargain hunter. I guarantee you can see it, but you have to pay first."
Wang Yuhai immediately raised his voice: "Why do you still need money?"
"Nonsense, don't we want to eat?"
Wang Yuhai frowned and stared at me: "How much?"
"Not much, give me everything in this house."
Wang Yuhai pointed at my mobile phone: "I thought you were a Taoist priest, but I thought you were a robber?"
"Come on, come on, don't you want to call? Call quickly!"
I leaned close to his ear and whispered: "I advise you to accumulate some virtue for yourself."
"What the hell are you..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Zhen spoke first: "Uncle, I agree."
"Your agreement is useless! I don't agree!"
"This house was placed in your name before because I was underage and you got custody of me."
Wang Zhen's eyes were surprisingly calm: "Now that I have grown up, my parents' inheritance can be in my name."
"I have the right to make any decision, what do you think?"
Wang Yuhai's face immediately turned red, and he slapped Wang Zhen directly on the face, leaving five clear slap marks.
"Why are you so angry? Now you know how to be stubborn?"
Pointing at Wang Zhen, he angrily yelled, "What a white-eyed wolf! I raised you up, but you are so heartless?"
"Talking about a house with me, right? You give me so many years of alimony first!"
Wang Zhen just rubbed his face gently, and then said calmly: "I just want my things back. If we want to discuss alimony, I'm afraid you have no say."
"The inheritance left by my parents is not one million, but several hundred thousand. Over the years, I have kept track of my expenses."
Wang Zhen raised his head calmly: "You spent a total of less than 200,000 on me. Where did the rest of the money go?"
When asked just like that, Wang Yuhai immediately shut up and rolled his eyes.
Wang Zhen picked up the shoes I gave him and whispered, "Uncle, I'm just young, not a fool."
"A stranger gave me a pair of shoes. What have you given me over the years?"
