Yun Que'er waved her fist to scare Ji Chengxuan. "Are you going to tell me or not?"
Ji Chengxuan put his hands up in surrender. "Okay, okay. I'll tell you."
Ji Chengxuan analyzed the situation for Yun Que'er. "Anyway, I think if she really had a feud with us, with her abilities, she could easily make things difficult for us. She really wouldn't need to threaten you again and again. Isn't that just giving you time to prepare?"
It did sound quite reasonable.
But...
"Then what do you think her purpose is for coming to me?"
Ji Chengxuan honestly shook his head. He really didn't know.
But it was obvious that so far, Liu Zhihui didn't seem to have any malicious intent. It could be roughly assumed that she didn't want to do anything to them.
"If you're worried, it's reasonable to take precautions in advance. But I always feel like she seems to be trying to find out something from us."
Ji Chengxuan frowned slightly.
He had a speculation in mind. As for whether it was true or not, time would surely give him the answer.
The matter was more or less settled. They didn't need to worry about the rest. They just had to leave it to Li Chengfu.
Yun Que'er had nothing to do, so she went to the fields to check on the saplings their family had planted.
Unexpectedly, she ran into an acquaintance.
Zhang Xiaokang?
It had been so long since they last saw each other. Why did he suddenly show up again?
The Zhang Yingying family's fields were not far from the Yun family's. From a distance, Yun Que'er saw Zhang Xiaokang making a ruckus over there.
Zhang Yingying seemed unable to argue with him and her face was flushed red. Interestingly, Yun Fujin was there to support her. With two against one, Zhang Xiaokang didn't gain any advantage.
Yun Que'er quickly ran over. "What are you doing? Why are you like a stubborn plaster and showing up again!"
When Zhang Xiaokang saw it was the girl who was so sharp - tongued last time, he couldn't help but shrink back.
But then, thinking he was in the right, he strode forward.
"I think your family really likes to meddle in other people's business! I'll let it slide last time, but let me tell you, this time it concerns whether my mother has money to buy medicine. If you interfere again, I'll have to go to court."
He brought up his mother again!
What kind of sin did Old Lady Zhang commit in her past life to have such a scoundrel son?
But Yun Que'er also knew that it took two to tango.
Zhang Xiaokang was a scoundrel, but he must have had a mother who indulged his behavior.
Yun Que'er frowned and ignored Zhang Xiaokang. She turned to ask Zhang Yingying.
"What's this about this time?"
"Isn't it about our family's land!" Zhang Yingying's eyes were red with anger. She gritted her teeth and said, "He insists that he is my father's blood relative. Now that my father is gone, the land that should have been allocated to my father should be inherited by his younger brother, him. Heaven! Where in the world is there such a thing?"
After hearing this, Yun Que'er almost burst out laughing.
"It's not that we want to meddle in this. The key is that we want to educate you on the law."
Yun Que'er stepped forward and looked directly into Zhang Xiaokang's eyes.
She just regretted that she was still too short. Otherwise, she would definitely grab Zhang Xiaokang by the neck and make him bend down to listen.
"The law stipulates that after a person's death, the spouse is the first heir, followed by the children and parents. Only when all of them are gone can it be the turn of siblings and other relatives. Of course, this does not apply if there is a will. But Uncle Zhang passed away suddenly and there was no will. So now his belongings should be inherited by Aunt Zhang."
Zhang Xiaokang waved his hand. "What do you, a little girl, know? You've never been to school and you're trying to show off. I don't care about all that. In our family's tradition, when a person dies, it's the other brothers who help to take over the inheritance. What can women manage? Besides, my mother is in a hurry to buy medicine. I need this land to make money!"
You're not afraid of the uneducated, but you're afraid of the uneducated and unreasonable.
"Yes, in the feudal society in the past, men were indeed in a dominant position, and there were cases of brothers inheriting the inheritance. But let's not mention that this is a new society now and the old ways simply won't work. Even in ancient times, when Aunt Zhang and the children were still around, it couldn't be the brothers who inherited. That's called taking advantage of a family without male heirs, and it would be looked down upon!"
Zhang Xiaokang didn't care about these things. "Don't talk nonsense. I'm just a rural farmer. I don't understand what you're saying. Besides, does your way really work? I think you're just quibbling and not respecting the ancestral rules."
It seemed that some people were really stubborn. It was a waste of breath to say another word to him.
Yun Que'er stopped talking and just looked at Zhang Xiaokang with a mocking look in her eyes.
Zhang Xiaokang thought Yun Que'er was left speechless by him, so he couldn't help but show off.
"I think you're quite sensible. Go home quickly. This has nothing to do with you."
Saying that, Zhang Xiaokang stepped forward and tried to pull Zhang Yingying.
"From now on, this will be my family's land. Get out of here quickly!"
"What are you doing?" Yun Fujin protected Zhang Yingying and got a bit angry. "As an uncle, are you going to harm your own niece like this? Do something good for yourself. Aren't you afraid that it will affect your own children?"
Seeing that he was about to use force, Yun Que'er also stepped forward and said.
"Those of yours are all feudal teachings. What ancestral rules? The ancestral hall has been gone for many years. How many times have you visited your ancestors' graves? Now you suddenly remember the traditions. I spit on you!"
"Hey, how can you talk like that, little girl?"
"Shut up!" Zhang Yingying suddenly got angry.
This roar startled everyone. They couldn't help but turn to look at her.
It was really the first time to see Zhang Yingying so angry. Besides being shocked, there was even a bit of pleasure.
"My father never had any land. Stop daydreaming!"
Hearing Zhang Yingying's hoarse words, Yun Que'er just realized.
Right! When Uncle Zhang passed away, the land had not been distributed to households yet.
By the time every family could plant their own land, Uncle Zhang's household registration had already been cancelled, so he naturally wouldn't have any land.
"My mother and I are still in Yuhe Village. This land is for us. You can't take it away!"
Zhang Xiaokang was stunned. "What?"
Obviously, he hadn't done his homework. Suddenly hearing this, he was completely dumbfounded.
"You're lying! You're just trying to avoid giving me the land!"
"Then go and ask!" Zhang Yingying had been bullied for so long and couldn't bear it anymore. "Go and ask. Ask anyone you like, or go directly to the secretary. You'll know the truth after asking!"
Zhang Xiaokang was obviously not convinced. He thought Zhang Yingying was trying to fool him and immediately started shouting.
"Fine! I'll go and ask right now. If there is land, you'll see how I deal with you!"
With that, Zhang Xiaokang ran away. Yun Que'er quickly grabbed Zhang Yingying.
"Let's go, Sister Yingying. Go and hide at my house."
"No." Zhang Yingying unexpectedly refused. "I've figured it out. I definitely can't let them continue to bully me like this. I'll just wait here and see what else he can say!"
