Chapter 64 The dispute over family property
Mr. Sun was unwilling to admit that this extremely unfilial guy was his son, and his face was sour.

Master Qian sighed and said, "When I came, my sister fainted from crying. When she woke up, she said that her descendants were unfilial. I felt bad, so I looked around but didn't see Sun Wang. It was not until nightfall that I heard that he was beaten by Dachang."

Master Qian looked at Master Sun once, then again, and couldn't help asking, "People below are asking around, saying that Sun Wang was beaten because you, brother-in-law, asked him to return the 200 mu of land in Hexia to the village, specifically for the cost of the charity school?"

When Mr. Sun heard this, he was furious. "He wants to steal even this money? The harvest of those 200 acres of land was given to the village charity school a few years ago. I was worried that he would not give it to me after I left, and the village charity school would not be able to continue, so I changed the land deed. I didn't expect that it would harm Sun Wang."

Master Sun scolded all his sons, and Pan Yun, who was standing by, also made a summary.

Mr. Sun's eldest son, Sun Dachang, doesn't want to divide the family property; he wants to share the wealth.

The so-called common property refers to a large family. Although the common direct relatives are no longer around, they still live together and the property is together. The public property is managed and distributed by someone.

Sun Dachang is the eldest son of the eldest house, so it is natural for him to come.

Mr. Sun scoffed at this. "If he is broad-minded and thoughtful, and can take care of his brothers and sisters, I would naturally be willing to keep the family together and let him be the head of the family. Don't I know that family members working together can make the family more prosperous?

But is he the right material for this? If the family is not divided, I am afraid that he will suck the blood of his brothers dry. It is better to divide the family while I am still alive, so that each of us can live well from now on. Even if only one of the five branches can prosper, I can help the other four branches when they are in trouble in the future, and I will not be ashamed of my ancestors. "

Mr. Qian nodded repeatedly, "Brother-in-law is far-sighted and his thinking is right."

"But none of these kids understand me."

Mr. Qian sighed and said in distress, "So, brother-in-law, you mean... to let me divide the family property for you?"

Master Sun shook his hands and said, "Forget it. I've figured it out. They are all unfilial sons. I'm dead now. There's no need to worry about them anymore. They can fight if they want and make trouble if they want. This family has no value to exist. Let's just break it up."

Mr. Qian's eyes widened. "Brother-in-law, you've changed so quickly. Are you really not going to care at all?"

"For this little bit of property, they made me so angry that I almost died. In order to cover up the truth of their unfilial behavior, they held such a grand funeral for me in public, but secretly invited Taoist priests to suppress me. Why should I, a dead person, worry about a group of living people?" Master Sun cursed, "If I don't drag them down to accompany me, it will be my kindness to them."

When Mr. Qian heard about this for the first time, he immediately turned to look at Pan Yun.

Pan Yun immediately said: "It was not me who suppressed it, and it has nothing to do with my Sanqing Mountain."

She said in a serious tone, "We at Sanqing Mountain never do such unscrupulous things."

Master Sun also hurriedly said: "It's not Pan Xiaoyou, it's all thanks to her and her senior brother for their help, otherwise I would still be locked in the mourning hall and unable to get out."

Master Qian was also angry, and slammed the table and said, "Rebellious son!"

It would have been fine if he had just angered the person to death, but instead of repenting, he suppressed his father's soul.

The former can be said to be unintentional, but the latter is out of intention.

Mr. Qian was very angry. "Just wait, brother-in-law. I will beat up Dachang and the others tomorrow to vent your anger."

Master Sun nodded repeatedly, "Hit him harder, don't be soft-hearted, beat him to death, I won't blame you if you really kill him."

Seeing that they always missed the point, Pan Jun couldn't help but find a direction for them, "Master Sun, you haven't told me what you're obsessed with yet. You only have five days. If you can't think of it, I'll have to send you away by force."

Mr. Qian's heart tightened, and he quickly asked, "What does forcibly sending you away mean..."

"Send him to the underworld by force, otherwise he will stay in the world of the living and harm others and himself."

Mr. Qian: "What's the difference between going voluntarily and being forcibly sent away?"

"One is when one's wish has been fulfilled, and the other is when one's wish has not been fulfilled," Pan Yun said, "One is when one leaves happily, and the other is when one leaves sadly and angrily. Look, just like Master Sun right now, he is in a state where his wish has not been fulfilled."

Mr. Qian turned to look at his brother-in-law. Thinking that he had gone to the underworld like this, without even the chance to scold him as an unfilial son, he couldn't help but feel sad. "Brother-in-law, think about what your wish is. Even... even if you want me to divide the family property according to your wishes, I will try my best to fulfill it for you."

Mr. Sun suddenly calmed down and sighed, "I, their biological father, can't do anything about them, so what can you, their uncle, do?"

"Of course not. My sister is still here. My mother and uncle are the most important. If they dare not listen to me, I will go to the government to sue them."

Master Sun: "Nonsense, if you do this, do you still want your reputation?"

Master Qian: "The dead are the greatest, and we want you to die peacefully. Brother-in-law, just tell me what your wishes are, and list them one by one."

Mr. Sun thought about it seriously, and after a while he began to count on his fingers, "I have raised the turtle in my study for nearly twenty years. After I die, some unfilial sons will probably stew it and make soup. Xiaoshu, please take it away for me, or put it in the pond, or raise it yourself. In short, don't leave it in the Sun family. It looks pitiful and lonely."

Mr. Qian was stunned for a moment and then nodded, "Okay."

Master Sun: "There are also orchids on the shelf next to it. Alas, the children don't know how to look at them, and neither do you. Give them to Mr. Shao Zheng, and you can deliver them to him for me."

Mr. Qian: “Okay.”

Grandpa Sun: "And my big buffalo, it's getting old too. It's been carrying me all my life, working the fields and pulling goods. You can take it with you too. When it dies of old age, don't eat it and bury it."

Master Qian: "...Brother-in-law, whatever you say is what it is."

Master Sun: "And..." "Brother-in-law!" Master Qian interrupted him loudly, and after holding back his temper, he said, "Please tell me the most important thing."

Mr. Sun looked at the butler lying on the bed and said, "I promised Sun Wang that I would let his family be free. In addition to the money he had, I would also give him fifty acres of land and one hundred taels of silver. But now it seems that it is not a good idea for him to stay in the village."

"The release letter and his family's indenture are on the top shelf of my study. I have also informed the chief clerk of the county government. Take them and you can remove him from the register. The 100 taels of silver note I prepared are also inside," said Mr. Sun. "I can't give him the 50 acres of land. Please help me give him the box and release him on my behalf."

Mr. Qian agreed.

Master Sun said, "Take all the manuscripts, calligraphy and paintings in my study. Just say that it was I who asked you to do so. Dachang dare not refuse to give them to you. When you get them, pick out some and send them to Hui Niang and Xian Niang. Just leave them for them to cherish."

Mr. Qian: "Anything else?"

Mr. Sun paused and said, "The books in my study and the books on the first two bookshelves are all given to Xiaowu. Xiaoshu, don't worry about the division of the family property. Let them quarrel. No matter how much they each get in the end, don't worry about it.

It’s just that Xiaowu is the youngest, and I think he has some potential in school. If possible, you can help him manage the property and let him go to your place to study.”

Mr. Qian agreed immediately, "No problem."

Master Sun exhaled, smiled and said, "Apart from these, I don't have any other wishes."

Mr. Qian looked at him suspiciously, "Is it really gone?"

Master Sun glanced at him and said, "I don't have that many wishes. I don't have any."

Mr. Qian: "...What about my sister?"

Mr. Sun froze, looking around with a guilty conscience, "You, you let her live well with Dachang. If she can't take care of the children's affairs, then don't bother. Dachang won't dare to treat her badly."

Mr. Qian was not convinced, "What does it mean to be treated unfairly? If I have enough food and clothing, then I am not treated unfairly?"

Mr. Qian was angry. "I would say, brother-in-law, you shouldn't think about dividing Dachang's property into four parts, but divide it into six parts, and let the five sons and my sister each take one part. When my sister dies, her share can be divided into five parts for the five children. Isn't it better than living under Dachang's thumb now?"

Master Sun was silent.

Mr. Qian snorted and began to lecture, "These things should have been done two years ago, but you dragged your feet and refused to divide the family, which is why it has become like this."

When Master Sun heard this, he got angry and asked, "What about you? You are not young anymore, why don't you split up the family?"

"How can I be the same? Your sons are not filial, but my sons are. I will not divide the family now, nor will I divide it after I die. My eldest son can take good care of his younger brothers and sisters."

Mr. Sun thought about his eldest nephew's character and talents, and felt a lump in his throat. He became depressed and kept silent.

Seeing him like this, Master Qian softened his heart again and said, "I have sent someone to call Dahong back. When the time comes, ask him to think of a way to divide the family property as you wish.

You have accumulated virtue all your life, but you cannot die at this moment. It makes you feel uneasy when you leave."

Master Qian's eyes were ablaze with fighting spirit. He snorted and said, "A few bastards who haven't even grown all their hair yet, do you think you can turn the world upside down?"

Master Sun stared at Master Qian in a daze.

After a moment, her eyes welled up with tears, "Xiaoshu~ you really understand me."

Mr. Qian had walked more roads than the others had eaten salt. Once he made up his mind, he immediately had an idea. He said to Butler Qian: "I will write a few letters, and you can have someone deliver them overnight."

Butler Qian agreed.

Pan Yun enthusiastically found paper and pen in the room for them and stood by to watch Mr. Qian write a letter.

It can be seen from the letters he wrote that he knows a lot of people.

Mr. Qian wrote eight letters in one breath. In addition to inviting the head of the village and the elders, he also invited the chief clerk and county lieutenant of the county, as well as the principals and teachers of several academies and schools.

From the content of the letter, it can be seen that these people are very influential in the local area.

Master Qian: "As soon as the village head arrives tomorrow, you should immediately have someone invite all the village elders. The Sun family is dividing up the property. They all have the surname Sun, so they should be able to say a few words."

Butler Qian agreed.

After the arrangements were made, Master Qian confidently said to Master Sun: "Don't worry, brother-in-law. You can't divide the family because you are old. The children are disobedient, but I am still young. They dare not disobey me."

Master Sun: "We are not that far apart in age."

"The little immortal said that I can live to be eighty. If I pay attention to my health, living to be a hundred is not a problem. So I am only half a hundred now, still young, you can't compare."

Mr. Sun:...
