Lin Yue said: "If you can't go back, don't go back." After saying that, he winked at Xiang Nanfang.
She nodded, turned around and walked into the bedroom. Within a minute, she came out with a big red book in her hand.
"Actually, your eldest brother has wanted to give it to you for a long time. I think it's not good. I feel like I'm trying to persuade you to move out of the house. I'm afraid that Dad will be sad, so I haven't done anything about it. Now that the situation has changed, there's nothing to worry about. ”
Qiao Sanli was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said, "No, this is too valuable, I can't accept it."
The one-bedroom apartment that Qiao Yicheng bought is located on Longpan Road. It is a good location where every inch of land is very valuable. Moreover, there is news that the city is studying the demolition plan of this area. In the past six months, the house price has been rising like a rocket. .
Lin Yue said with a smile: "First, I am the brother of your compatriot, and no gift will be valuable to you; second, I can help Qiao Qiqi become the boss of an Internet company, and I will give my most beloved sister Just to give you a small house, in the eyes of outsiders, you are already favoring one over the other; thirdly, for so many years, I owe you a lot..."
Putting aside the first and second reasons, only Qiao Sanli knew what he was referring to.
Xiang Nanfang also said beside him: "Sanli, take it then, so that your brother and I don't have to worry about your life all the time."
When things got to this point, Qiao Sanli was too embarrassed to refuse anymore, so she took the real estate certificate in her hand.
"Thank you, brother and sister-in-law."
"You're welcome. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me and your brother." Xiang Nanfang felt that every time she called him sister-in-law, her eyes were a little erratic, and he didn't know what she was afraid of. He was just a cultured man. And the deputy director of tourism work is not the county magistrate in ancient times who first slaps twenty people when he comes to complain.
Qiao Sanli rubbed the gilded font on the cover of the house book, pursed her lips tightly, lowered her head and remained silent.
Of course, Lin Yue couldn't let the weird atmosphere continue to ferment, so he forcibly changed the subject and said: "That Chen Fang is really a famous figure. He has performed in Huangmei Opera for so many years."
Xiang Nanfang said: "What do you mean?"
Lin Yue explained: "At that time, the old man brought the nanny he chose home, and Sanli immediately called me back to the old house to discuss the matter. Chen Fang didn't know the situation of the Qiao family, but thinking about it, she could tell that the old man was interested in the nanny. I was a bit wary of her, but Sanli had his dissatisfaction with her written on his face and guarded her almost like a thief. In the following year, the old man did not drive her away, but gradually got used to it. Her existence is somewhat inseparable from her, and she has almost figured out the details of our family and started to use her crooked brains. The first thing is to bring our son over, so that he can eat and drink at Qiao's house and look for job opportunities. , and she can anger Sanli and vent her forbearance and resentment over the past year on the old man, forcing him to fire the nanny. At this time, she can pretend to be the weaker party to highlight Sanli's unreasonableness, and then use "Electra" Complex' to explain Sanli's irritability and hostility towards mother and son. What has Qiao Zuwang been most anxious about in the past two years? The answer is Sanli's marriage. After getting advice that seemed right from someone he trusted and liked, , what will he do? You all saw it."
"..."
Qiao Sanli and Xiang Nan looked at each other, wondering if he was being too conspiracy-minded.
Lin Yue smiled and continued: "After Sanli left, the matter is not over yet. What she wants is that Sanli never goes back. She also wants me to stay away from the old man. So what should we do? At this time, the second aunt because Qiao Simei's affairs came to her door, which gave her a good opportunity. I want to sever the brother-sister relationship with Qiao Simei. If I take Qiao Simei and her daughter home, I will break up Sanli and return to her old home. Secondly, I can alienate the relationship between me and the old man, and I can also pretend to be a good person in front of Qiao Simei, hoping that Qiao Simei will reciprocate the favor in the future and support her and the old man to get a marriage certificate. As for how to settle the old man, it is very simple. If he mentions the word 'profit' on the basis of love and reason, he will forget about the embarrassing things Qiao Simei did. After all, so many years have passed, and now he is married and has children. We have everything, but after the rice is cooked and put back into the ground, no ears of rice will grow. What can we do, the only way is to compromise."
"What are you looking at? Can't you understand? Then let me explain it more clearly. Everyone knows Sanli's character. Even if he moves out from home, his pension will not be lost. Now Qiao Simei has moved back, and Qi Chenggang is here. There are three of us with the child, do you think he will let go of this opportunity to find his lost daughter and son-in-law?"
"You...you think people are too complicated, don't you?" Xiang Nanfang was shocked. This was the first time she had seen a husband who was so understanding of people's hearts.
Lin Yue picked up the empty bowl and chopsticks on the dining table and walked to the kitchen.
"Watch more palace fighting dramas, and you will know what kind of small universe a woman will explode when faced with something she particularly wants."
He was afraid of making his wife and sister unhappy, so he didn't dare to say one thing - a green snake's mouth tells the truth, a wasp's tail stings, neither of which are poisonous, but the most poisonous to a woman's heart.
Qiao Sanli lowered her head and thought for a long time. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that what he said made sense.
"You said... isn't Dad afraid of angering you by doing this?"
Lin Yue turned on the faucet and put the dishes and chopsticks into the sink to wash them carefully. He said with a smile: "A few years ago, I interviewed an old man who was over 60 years old and had to go to the city to work. I asked him what he had when he was young. Dream, he said to find a mother-in-law, I asked him where he is now, and he said to make money. I said that you still come to the city to work part-time at such an old age, don’t you make enough money? He said that you don’t make enough, and I said that you make so much money. What do you want to do? He said he was looking for the mother-in-law."
Or there is a saying that men should use their lower half... Oh no, men will be young until they die.
Of course, there was another very important reason why he didn't tell the two of them. This was his and Qiao Zuwang's "little secret."
Xiang Nanfang and Qiao Sanli knew what he wanted to express.
"Then... you won't care about the old house's affairs?"
Lin Yue washed the dishes, turned off the faucet, shook off the water stains on his hands and walked out of the kitchen: "There is a saying that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Chen Fang used Qiao Simei to disgust you and me. Don't you know what's in her eyes?" The poor little girl is not as easy to manipulate as she thought."
Qiao Sanli blinked, looking confused.
Who is Qiao Simei? If she was a smart person, would she be able to get to where she is today? Want to compete with a woman like Chen Fang? Ten Qiao Simei are no match.
Lin Yue said: "Qiao Simei is stupid, but the people behind her are not stupid."
"Are you talking about Qi Chenggang?"
"Roughly the same."
Xiang Nanfang looked at the two brothers and sisters across from him, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. This Qiao family was not a member of the family, let alone a general of the Hou family, but what happened to these five brothers and sisters was really...hard to describe in words.
…
Qiao Simei's family of three was taken back to their old home by Qiao Zuwang. Lin Yue never visited the house again. He asked Qiao Sanli to send him the child support. He didn't even go back for the New Year, so he took Xiang Nanfang, his two children and Qiao Sanli with him. Went to Shanghai, had New Year's Eve dinner with Qiao Qiqi, and then returned to Nanjing to visit my father-in-law and second aunt.
Qi Weimin is much more honest and no longer talks about the principles of being a man and an elder brother as before.
Qi Weiyi and Qi Xiaoya may not be sons of each other, but they are quite independent in life. The children of the Qiao family are different. There was a plot in the TV series where Song Qingyuan asked Qiao Yicheng why he didn't want a child with Xiang Nanfang. Qiao Yicheng said that he seemed to have been taking care of the child, and then Song Qingyuan stopped persuading him. No more questions.
One day in April, Lin Yue took a few days off and planned to take his two children to Beijing to play. By the way, he would visit some old friends from CCTV. If he had time...
However, the plan did not change quickly. The day before he was about to leave, Qiao Sanli called and told him that Qiao Zuwang had been hit by a car and was now in Gulou Hospital.
In the TV series, Qiao Zuwang was hit by a motorcycle, broke his bones and collapsed on the bed. He became OVER within a few months. I didn't expect it to be the same here.
He went to the hospital, but did not go to the ward. He talked with the attending doctor, and called Qiao Sanli downstairs to talk for a few words. He learned that, as he thought, the relationship between Chen Fang and Qiao Simei was very cold. Now one of them comes and the other goes, and they rarely stay together in the ward.
Half a month later, Qiao Zuwang was discharged from the hospital and returned home.
Another month passed, and Qiao Sanli called him to tell him that there was a big quarrel in the old house. Chen Fang wanted to get a marriage certificate from Qiao Zuwang, but Qiao Simei refused. The two sides had a fight over this, and the old man was so angry that he fell off the bed. When I got down, my condition became serious again.
Lin Yue told her to mind her own business and hung up.
Another month passed, when the summer cicadas were drowsy, and he got the news that Qiao Zuwang was dead.
When Lin Yue returned to the Qiao family's old house, the courtyard was full of people, some of whom were Qiao Zuwang's poker friends during his lifetime, and some of whom were neighbors. Qi Weimin and Qi Weiyi also arrived and were talking on the balcony where clothes were dried.
"Issei, you're back."
Aunt Wu greeted him with a sad face.
The person next to her nodded to him.
At first he helped the neighbors save their property, and later he married a good wife. Now he is the leader of the city TV station. Most people in the yard came to praise him because of his reputation.
That's how things go. The presence of people is more important than the presence of etiquette.
"Aunt Wu, Aunt Bai, Brother Wu, you are all here, where is Sanli?"
"It's inside."
Aunt Wu wiped away a few tears as she spoke.
Even though she and Qiao Zuwang had been fighting for decades, and he always stole her chicken gizzards to eat, but now that they are gone, she feels really sad.
Lin Yue walked away from everyone and walked into the main room.
Qiao Zuwang was wearing a shroud and was placed on a camp bed.
"Brother."
When Qiao Sanli saw him coming in, she called out with red eyes.
After all, he is his biological father. Even if he did not do well before, now that he is dead, it is impossible to say that he has no emotions at all.
Lin Yue nodded towards her and looked at the person next to him.
Qiao Simei didn't dare to look at him, and even shrank back. Qi Chenggang pulled her down, and then she regained her footing.
We haven’t seen him for more than ten years. Qi Chenggang is getting older and his hair style has changed to a straight one. He looks a bit like a person who has been released from prison.
Qiao Qiqi is in Shanghai and won't be able to come back for a while, and Qiao Erqiang... No one knows where he is now, whether he is dead or alive. It seems that he does not intend to enter this family. Lin Yue is also happy like this, otherwise he will be there every day It was so uncomfortable to stare at that face that looked like someone had raped her.
He wanted to take two steps forward and take a look at Qiao Zu up close, but he didn't know that Chen Fang, who was sitting on the chair next to him, threw herself on the bed and started crying, followed by "I didn't take good care of you" and "You left." How can we, mother and son, live if we are left behind?", "If I had met you earlier" and so on.
Lin Yue frowned and asked Qiao Sanli, "What's going on?"
"They got married yesterday afternoon."
"Getting married? Who did it?"
Lin Yue glared at him, and Chen Fang's son was so frightened that he immediately retreated to the door.
Qiao Sanli said: "The formalities were sent to the Civil Affairs Bureau yesterday, and dad's fingerprints were on them. She also said that Aunt Wu was a witness."
Lin Yue turned his head and looked out the window, just in time to catch Aunt Wu's gaze.
"In other words, she is now keeping vigil here as Qiao Zuwang's wife? Is that person Qiao Zuwang's son?"
Qiao Sanli said nothing.
"Since there is someone keeping vigil, why are we still standing here? Let's stay wherever we feel comfortable."
As Lin Yue spoke, he turned around and walked outside. Qiao Sanli grabbed his sleeve.
"Brother..."
Lin Yue patted the back of her hand, gave her a "reassuring" look, and continued walking outside. Over there, Qi Weimin led Chang Xingyu inside, and the two almost bumped into each other.
"Issei, what are you doing?"
"Find a place to rest. There are people keeping vigil for the old man anyway, and he can't survive with so many people crowded here."
Boss Qi and his wife just watched him go.
People outside were talking a lot, but it was understandable. Not to mention Qiao Zuwang's past virtues, she had not done anything good in the past two years. First, she drove away her third daughter, who had taken care of her for more than ten years, and kept her rapist for ten years. As a widow, he was brought back to the foster parent's fourth daughter. Later, he married Chen Fang and found a stepmother for the children. As a father, it was good that his son could come back to see him.
…
Two days later.
Qiao Zuwang has been cremated and buried. When he was talking about his funeral, he wanted his children to build a monument for him and get an inscription full of good words. After all, Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Qiqi were both so promising. He was the father. There had to be some pomp and circumstance, but Lin Yue didn't do that. He simply expressed his condolences and that was it.
Qiao Sanli and Qiao Qiqi naturally wouldn't say anything. Qiao Simei and his wife were even more resentful towards Qiao Zuwang, so they also wouldn't say anything.
When everyone returned to the old house, the portrait had been hung on the west wall by Chen Fang's son Chen Shuyun.
Chen Fang sat firmly on Qiao Zuwang's seat, resembling the owner of this house.
"The old man's funeral is over, and now comes the main event that everyone is concerned about."
While Lin Yue was talking, Qiao Qiqi walked in from the outside. He not only bolted the courtyard door, but also closed the door of the main room, pulled a chair and sat in the corner, pretending to be watching a play. Everyone knew that he was wealthy and didn't take this house seriously at all.
"This house is the old residence of our Qiao family. Once the old man dies, our Qiao family should inherit it."
"That won't work." Chen Fang patted the back of her left hand with her right hand and said calmly: "I am married to your father, so I should have half of this house."
Qiao Sanli gritted her teeth with hatred, thinking that the fox had finally shown its tail.
Xiang Nannan, who was standing next to her, held her hand and gave her a "don't worry" look.
Qiao Simei was pushed from behind by Qi Chenggang, and she had no choice but to be tough: "We were not here at the time, how do we know whether you colluded with Aunt Wu to create the illusion that dad agreed to marry you, and when we came back at night, the house was There is a strong smell of alcohol in it, and I suspect that he was forced to press his fingerprints by you while he was unconscious and forged a certificate."
Chen Fang quit: "You are spitting blood."
"..."
Lin Yue watched the two sides quarreling more and more fiercely, and finally Qi Chenggang and Chen Shuyun joined the battle group. It was so fierce that he almost took action. He couldn't help but stretched out his fingers to dig out his ear holes, and yawned for a long time. Nanfang said: "I thought it would be good to watch, but I didn't expect the actual experience to be so bad."
"Okay, stop playing around, or else you'll be late when you get back, and mom will call again to remind you."
"Let's do it."
Lin Yue interrupted the dispute between the two parties: "Qiao Erqiang has never come back since he left home in 1993. He had made it clear in front of Qi Weimin that he no longer wanted to have anything to do with the Qiao family, so he basically has the right to inherit the house. It’s no use. Qiao Qiqi said that he is willing to give up the right to inherit. As for me, this house is of no use to me, so I will give up too, then only three people will be left with the right to inherit.”
"I give up too."
At this time, Qiao Sanli said something that surprised Chen Fang and Qiao Simei. They did not know that Lin Yue had transferred the ownership of the one-bedroom apartment on Longpan Road to her.
"In this case, the two of you are left. Should you continue to compete for the upper hand, or add two to one and make five, with one person inheriting half of the property?"
Chen Fang, mother and son, and Qiao Simei suddenly stopped arguing. They stared at each other for a moment and unanimously chose to share the inheritance equally.
As for Chen Fang, during her time as a nanny in the Qiao family, she not only received money, but also finally got a Nanjing registered permanent residence and half a house. She knew how to accept the opportunity as soon as possible.
As for Qiao Simei, she didn't expect that Lin Yue, Qiao Qiqi, and Qiao Sanli all gave up their inheritance rights. Now she can get one-half of Qiao Zuwang's inheritance, which is really good.
More importantly, both parties want to resolve the matter quickly while the Qiao family's children are here, otherwise they will have long nights and many dreams.
"Since you both agree with the proposal, sign it."
Lin Yue took out two documents, one was a document jointly signed by Qiao Yicheng, Qiao Sanli, and Qiao Qiqi to give up the right to inherit the inheritance, and the other was an agreement that the inheritance would be jointly inherited by Chen Fang and Qiao Simei.
The two of them signed their names on it without hesitation.
Lin Yue casually handed two documents to Qiao Qiqi, then took out another document from his briefcase.
"Okay, the house thing is over, let's talk about another inheritance."
Qiao Zuwang still has a legacy?
Chen Fang's eyes lit up, thinking was it a deposit? Or something else of value?
"Since you are the heirs of Qiao Zuwang's inheritance, come and pay off his debts."
As the words fell, an IOU appeared in front of the two of them.
The borrower is Qiao Zuwang and the lender is Qiao Yicheng. The loan amount is as high as 1.5 million. The two parties have also agreed on the interest. The collateral is the Qiao family's old house.
Chen Fang, Chen Shuyun, Qiao Simei, and Qi Chenggang were all stunned when they saw it, and they couldn't say a word.
Lin Yue took out another piece of paper: "Yes, debt is also part of the inheritance. I have calculated the principal and interest. If I sell this house at the market price, each of you will have to give me another hundred and eight hundred thousand." Twenty-one, for the sake of our friendship, let’s just wipe out the fraction and let each person get one hundred thousand.”
Upon hearing this number, Chen Fang, who was sitting in the chair, almost slipped to the ground.
She never imagined that what she took over was not an old house, but a pit, and there was a mine that could kill people buried in the pit.
"It's fake. It's all fake. The IOU is absolutely fake. How could he ask you to borrow money?"
Lin Yue smiled: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. We can go to the notary office and the staff will tell you whether the IOU is true or false."
Now let alone Chen Fang, even if there is a lawyer present, he can't overturn the situation. If he, an expert in finance, wants to reasonably destroy the money that Qiao Zuwang "borrowed", isn't that just like playing?
