Chapter 69: Division of the Family Property

Chapter 69: Division of the Family Property
After confirming that Master Sun really would not hurt anyone, the old people in the mourning hall became enthusiastic and greeted Master Sun one after another. Second Uncle Sun even walked directly to the coffin and asked him, "Brother, have you seen the King of Hell? What is the underworld like?"

The other old men followed suit and listened; they were not young anymore and were a little curious.

Master Sun couldn't say that he hadn't gone to the underworld. After a moment's silence, he said, "Things in the underworld cannot be spoken of. When you die, you will know."

Everyone:...

Master Sun: "But you must know that there are ghosts in the world. If you do something unjust or unfilial, the King of Hell will remember every detail. One day, there will be retribution in the underworld."

The five brothers of the Sun family felt that these words touched them, and they fell to the ground and cried bitterly, admitting their mistakes. "Dad, we know we were wrong, we know we were wrong."

Master Sun looked down at them with a complicated expression. In fact, he figured it out after his death. Since everyone will die, and the family will rise and fall, he is dead, so there is no need to worry about future generations. These unfilial sons are not worth it.

Can……

He glanced at Master Qian. His wife's brother had done so much for him. If he didn't try harder, he would be really sorry for him.

So Master Sun asked him with a sullen face, "Dachang, I want to ask you, can I decide how to divide up the Sun family's assets?"

Sun Dachang kowtowed repeatedly, "Yes, yes."

"What about the four of you?"

The four brothers also kowtowed repeatedly, "Yes, yes."

"Well, I will divide it again today in front of your uncle, the head of the village, and all the village elders. In addition to the two plots of land that your uncle has pointed out earlier, the rest of the land, houses, and shops will be divided into six parts. Each of you five brothers will take one, and the remaining one will belong to your mother."

Master Sun said, "After your mother passes away, you five brothers can divide the remaining portion equally. Do you have any objection?"

The four brothers of the Sun family had no objection at all and nodded immediately. They had objected before because they thought that the 40% that Mr. Sun gave to the eldest brother was too much.

Master Sun looked at Sun Dachang, who was motionless, and narrowed his eyes. "Dachang, do you have any objection?"

Sun Dachang fell to the ground, wanting to cry but unable to, "No, no, I will listen to Dad in everything."

Master Sun snorted and said, "That's how it's divided. Divide it now in front of me."

Since Mr. Sun wanted to divide the family property, the family assets were naturally counted, written down in a booklet, and divided into portions.

It's just so that I can share it among the children.

Who would have thought that he not only didn't get a share of the family property, but instead got so angry that he died.

It is convenient now. I can go directly to his room, bring the counted list, divide it into six equal parts, mark the serial numbers, write six pieces of paper on them, throw them into the bowl and shake it, and then let the five brothers draw lots on the spot.

Pan Yun stood on tiptoe to take a look and was amazed at how rich he was.

It seems that in this world, being a gentry makes you richer than being an official.

Her father is an official, and her family's property is not even a portion of the Sun family's.

Sun Dachang grabbed a piece of paper and spread it out. There was a big "three" on it, representing the properties on the third list he took.

The third property was not bad, including a silk shop, which did good business, but Sun Dachang still felt full of regret.

If he had done this earlier, he should have agreed to his father's distribution plan the day before yesterday, and not made a fuss about asking for a 70% share.

The 40% of the property included not only this silk shop, but also a porcelain kiln and a bookstore, and much more land and houses than what he has now.

The most painful thing in the world is to lose something you once had. For a moment, Sun Dachang wanted to jump up and object desperately.

But his fear of his father's ghost outweighed his love for money.

After the most important land, houses and shops are divided, all that remains are some small details.

Based on Mr. Sun's current state, he was able to divide the items very quickly and smoothly. "The rest of my collection will be divided into..."

He glanced at his two daughters and changed his words, "Divide it into eight portions. Your mother and your sisters will share with you. Draw lots and pick some for your uncle first, and keep it as a souvenir."

He then said, "The cash in the house will also be divided into eight parts. Your mother and Hui Niang and Xian Niang will share it. Do you have any objection?"

The five brothers of the Sun family were heartbroken, but still nodded.

Mr. Sun sneered repeatedly. He was happy to see that his unfilial sons were unhappy.

When Mr. Qian saw that he had finished distributing the wealth, he began to stuff red envelopes into the lizhang and village elders, and sighed, "I'm sorry to have frightened you all today. I dreamed of my brother-in-law last night, and only then did I realize that he left in a hurry without dividing the family property, and that he couldn't fulfill his wish, so he stayed in the human world and refused to reincarnate."

The village head understood what he meant, and after accepting the red envelope, he said, "Don't worry, Master Qian. We are only here to witness the division of the Sun family's property today. We did not see... the spirit of Master Sun."

The village elders were eager for the head of the village to help cover it up, and they nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes."

It would not be good if this matter got out. If outsiders knew that the division of the Sun family's property had even made Mr. Sun so angry that he came back to life and personally presided over the division, who knows how many unpleasant things would be said.

The Sun family's reputation will suffer a great blow.

Master Sun sighed and followed Master Qian in bowing to everyone.

Who dares to bear it? Just keep dodging.

Master Sun looked at Pan Yun and said, "Little Immortal, thank you so much for this."

Pan Yun was full from eating melons, so he waved his hand without caring at all and said righteously, "It is my duty to fulfill the wishes of the deceased."

The village elders turned their heads to look at Pan Yun, their eyes lit up, and they gathered around him, "Where are you practicing, little fairy? How old are you this year?" "I am a Taoist priest at Sanqing Temple in Sanqing Mountain. I am eight years old this year."

The village elders were amazed and said, "He is so amazing at such a young age. The Sanqing Temple is indeed worthy of its reputation."

"Little Immortal, can you tell fortunes? I wonder if we are destined to be together. Can you tell us something?"

"Little Immortal, can I ask for talismans at Sanqing Temple? Like amulets for peace and prosperity, etc."

Even Master Sun was squeezed out by them.

He tried to squeeze in several times to talk to Pan Yun again, but was always driven away by their human scent.

Mr. Sun:...

Really, I was so afraid of him just now, but now I’m not afraid of him anymore.

Mr. Sun turned around to look for Mr. Qian, but was stopped by Mrs. Sun.

She asked, "Master, are you staying in the mortal world because you didn't get to eat the scallion oil noodles I cooked for you? How about I cook you a bowl now, and you can eat it and then go down."

Mr. Sun: "I don't want to eat scallion oil noodles."

Old Lady Sun started to cry, "Why did you ask me to cook the scallion oil noodles? I didn't even get to see you for the last time. If I were here, would you be pissed off to death by these rebellious sons?"

Master Sun: "If you were here, I'm afraid you would be pissed off by them like me."

"Bah," Old Lady Sun spat at him and said, "I think you just don't want me to participate in the division of the property. You just divide up such a huge family business without even discussing it with me."

Master Sun was stunned, "You, you, you spit on me!"

Is this still his ugly wife?
Old Lady Sun: "If I don't spit at you, who else should I spit at? You've become a ghost now, why should I be afraid of you?"

Master Sun was silent.

Master Qian was very surprised and came up to her, "Sister, Dachang and the others are afraid of ghosts but not people, why are you doing the opposite?"

Old Lady Sun said calmly, "Ghosts are not the right path in this world, so why should I be afraid of them? They can't even slap the rebellious son, and others can't see them, and they can't order others around. Ghosts without power and influence are more terrifying than powerful people."

Mr. Qian and Mr. Sun were both silent.

Old Lady Sun left the man and the ghost behind and came over to talk to Pan Yun. "The little girl looks lovely. It's a mess in the front. Come to the backyard with me later. It's quieter. I'll treat you to a meal."

Pan Yun agreed immediately.

Old Madam Sun said to Sun Dachang, "Although we have separated, we still have to work together to take care of your father's funeral. There are more and more guests coming from outside. You should discuss with your brothers what to do and don't neglect them."

Sun Dachang looked at Pan Yun and said hesitantly, "What if the guests come into the mourning hall and see Dad..."

Pan Yun said: "No problem."

She walked to the door and picked up the three copper coins that had been placed there before. The formation in the mourning hall shattered with a popping sound, and the bright sunlight shone on people truly, and Master Sun disappeared from their sight.

But in fact, he did not disappear, it's just that people can no longer see him.

For some reason, everyone's heart trembled and they felt a chill.

Sun Dachang's face turned pale. He felt a little regretful. He would rather see his father wandering around in front of him than not see him.

Invisible but existing, is there anything more terrifying than this?

Pan Jun seemed to be unable to see his expression and said gently, "Uncle Sun, go and do your work. Master Sun is in the mourning hall and won't wander around."

Sun Dachang: ...even more scared.

The village head and his men were also a little timid, so they simply followed their own heart and said, "It's getting late, we will burn incense for Master Sun and then go back first, and we won't disturb you anymore."

The people, led by the village head, quickly burned incense and left.

Only Second Uncle Sun and Third Uncle Sun did not leave. They looked at Master Qian and Sun Dachang and asked, "Master Qian, how did our eldest brother die? Could it be..."

The two looked at Sun Dachang and his remaining nephews.

Sun Dachang and others felt their backs tighten and they began to tremble all over.

Master Qian glanced at Master Sun and covered up for them. "You two have seen how much they quarreled over the division of the family business before my brother-in-law showed up. My brother-in-law has a bad temper. They quarreled in front of him, and he was so angry that he..."

Uncle Sun scolded them coldly, "Unfilial descendants!"

But he felt relieved in his heart, because he was afraid that Sun Dachang and his men would kill Master Sun.

Mr. Sun had a sour look on his face, but he did not stop Mr. Qian.

The real situation was even more extreme than a quarrel. In order to divide the property, except for Sun Wuyi, the other four all started fighting, including several of Mr. Sun's grandsons who joined in.

A group of people fought in front of Mr. Sun's bed, and Mr. Sun was so angry that he died.

Mr. Sun was very confused. "I consider myself a good person. I am filial to my parents and friendly to my brothers. I also showed a lot of care when raising them. I sent them to school and taught them to read since they were young. How did they grow up like this?"
