BXBX NOVEL Chapter 93 - 93: First Update
Xiao Qian took the elder to the village health center, had the doctor take an X-ray and do an examination, and write down the medical record.
The injury happened at Second Uncle’s house, and there were witnesses, taking it to court, this would serve as evidence.
Yu Minglang’s way of thinking and educating about dealing with bad people within the legal framework has had some influence on Xiao Qian’s style of dealing with things.
After a while, the two of them came back.
The Old Lady was afraid when she saw people in uniform, and she couldn’t speak clearly. Whatever others asked, she would answer.
“Auntie, how did you get injured?”
“My son didn’t hit me…” The Old Lady kept repeating this sentence.
“Grandma, did you hurt yourself by falling? Is that right?” Xiao Qian guided.
The Old Lady nodded hurriedly.
“What was my Second Maternal Aunt doing when you fell? Did she help you?”
“I called her, and she ignored me… She always scolded me and drove me away.” The Old Lady didn’t defend her daughter-in-law as much as she did her son.
The Old Lady defended her son, but constantly complained about her daughter-in-law. Elderly ladies of this age instinctively defend their sons and complain about ungrateful daughters-in-law.
While they were taking notes on the side, the Old Lady complained for a while, tired, and the two of them left when the record was finished.
Xiao Qian followed them out.
“I believe you should already know what happened based on your judgement. They only feed the elder once a day and leave her unattended when she has difficulty moving. The elder gets injured because they did not fulfill their duty as guardians. They didn’t clean the bed after she soiled it and threatened to throw her onto the road. Did you see all this?”
“We have already criticized and educated your Second Uncle’s family. If you need to sue them in the future, you can come to us at any time to request the file.” The two of them said.
After they finished speaking, but hadn’t left, they looked at each other puzzled. What’s going on?
“Young Master Lang ordered that if you have any problems, you can find me. My last name is Liu, and I am responsible for your area.”
“Eh?” Xiao Qian was confused.
“Young Master Lang’s code name back then was One, and he was the idol of our entire unit. The record he created back then was sensational, and I personally admire him very much. Even though he’s no longer in the old unit, we all know him.”
…Xiao Qian was speechless. Although Yu Minglang was not by her side, his protective umbrella was big enough, covering all the details.
Xiao Qian exchanged pleasantries and returned to the ward, where Jia Xiufang, who was worried, pulled her aside to speak in private.
“Qian’er, what on earth are you trying to do? Your Second Uncle is thoroughly offended by us. What are we going to do in the future? …”
“We’ll do whatever we have to do!” Xiao Qian wished he would make more trouble – the bigger, the better.
“Our relationship with them is completely ruined. What about your grandma!” Jia Xiufang was so anxious that tears flowed.
“Once a family calls the police, meets with officials and goes to court, they can never see or speak to each other again.”
Jia Xiufang patted Xiao Qian, “Bad girl! You know that, and still behave like this!”
Xiao Qian stared straight at her, “Mom, if I don’t make a fuss, will you stop fighting?”
With Second Maternal Aunt, there was no way to become close friends unless she benefited from it for a lifetime.
“It’s better than now!” Jia Xiufang was trapped.
Xiao Qian pulled her mother to a quiet corner, “How do you feel about serving the elder when they treat you this way?”
This question really hit the nail on the head.
Who wouldn’t be upset when money belonged to the son, but the daughter had to take care of the elder?
For thousands of years, ancestors have passed down this practice where parents who were more considerate would give their property to their sons and let their sons take care of them in their old age. Those who weren’t considerate would let their daughters take care of them and give the money to their sons.
Seeing Jia Xiufang silent, Xiao Qian knew her mother was not balanced in her heart either.
“The law stipulates that the Old Lady can give her property to whoever she wants, and this cannot be forced. Even if she doesn’t give our family a penny, as a daughter, you have a duty to give alimony to the elder and there is no way to reason about this.”
“You damn girl! You know how it works, and still piss off your Second Uncle!” Jia Xiufang was furious.
Xiao Qian revealed a mysterious smile, “If the Old Lady doesn’t specify who she wants to give the property to, do you know how the money will be divided, Mom?”
Jia Xiufang didn’t know.
“Qian’er, just speak up.”
“The front and back courtyard of my Second Uncle’s house are all registered in my Grandpa’s name, which hasn’t been changed since his death. Do you know what that means?”
“What does it mean?”
“If my Grandma doesn’t specify that she wants to give the property to my Second Uncle, it means you, my Eldest Uncle, and my Second Uncle will each get a third of the house.”
Both the front and back courtyards were two-story buildings, and they could get 600 square meters of a large house after relocation, plus the Old Lady’s relocation compensation.
Jia Xiufang hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, “It’s for the son, how could it be possible for a married daughter like me …”
“Is there a written agreement? Witnesses? Is his name on the house registration?”
“Your Eldest Uncle knows about it. He’s living in another city, and he doesn’t want to get involved with these matters since he’s doing well.”
“With such a large amount of money at stake, do you think my Eldest Uncle could resist the temptation? He has been at odds with my Second Uncle for many years, right?”
Xiao Qian was very confident about this.
If Eldest Uncle took Second Uncle’s side, he wouldn’t get a penny and standing with her mother, he could get one-third share. The house wasn’t valuable now, and Eldest Uncle didn’t care, but what about after the relocation?
“This matter… doesn’t sound right, it’s unconscionable.” Jia Xiufang was shocked by her daughter’s outrageous idea.
“Your conscience is not meant to be used on livestock. When they abused the elder, did they think about their conscience?” “If they took good care of the elder and treated Grandma well, we might not even care if they leave everything to them. But look at Grandma’s condition now. She’s eating once a day, no one takes care when she soils the bed or when she falls!”
Jia Xiufang was somewhat tempted.
“Qian’er, won’t the neighbors gossip about us? I’ve never heard of a daughter coming back to fight for property with her brother.”
“Are there daughters from other families who have an older brother treating an elder like livestock? Isn’t my Second Uncle an exceptional scoundrel?”
Actually, Xiao Qian didn’t value that house or the money that much, as she could easily get those in the future. However, she couldn’t stand Second Uncle’s family’s shameless actions. The female boss of the opposition specialized in treating all kinds of disobedience.
“It’s quite disgraceful to say that we can’t be relatives because of this money…”
“Less than six months from now, there will be many families breaking ties for money, brothers turning against each other, siblings holding a grudge, and cut off all contact with parents. By then, every household will be busy tearing each other apart, and nobody will have time to gossip about you.”
Bad people who earn pots of money don’t have to support elders, while good people only get the title “good person” and pour some “Mind Your Own Business and Don’t Hurt One’s Conscience” poison soup into their ‘buns.’ There’s nothing left to reason with, who can they talk to?
Let whoever wants to be a saint be one. Xiao Qian just wanted to make trouble for Second Uncle’s family. Money and a house were not the main points. The important thing was to disgust Second Uncle’s family, which would be a victory..
