Rebirth: Bringing Space to a Well-off Society

Ji Fen faltered and couldn't answer, Lin Wang saw the village head's complexion, and quickly stopped the situation with a smile: "That's right, our village head is lucky, not to mention our Linjia Village, even the whole Qinghe Town is deserted Comparable."

After hearing the compliment, the village chief's face became even more gloomy.

Originally, the village chief also knew that this was just flattering him, but he ran for mayor in the first half of the year. In terms of seniority and political achievements, it was a sure thing. The kid was snatched away.He was also ridiculed by his deadly rival Haosheng, and even exposed his old background, saying that he gave birth to a bunch of daughters and there was no one who could die for him. He had been looking forward to the position of mayor for so many years and gave away so many for nothing. Li, it's not that he is not lucky to be the mayor.

The village head was so angry that he had a big fight with the man on the spot, and was reprimanded by the new mayor, and his face was so embarrassing that he would fly into a wildfire when he heard the word 'blessing' now.

Poor Lin Wang's flattery fell on the horse's leg.

"Okay, let's talk about business, don't talk about such nonsense." The village chief said coldly.

Lin Wang didn't know what made the village chief unhappy, so he could only laugh along with him: "Yes, yes, the village chief said yes, let's go into the house and sit down and say, Ah Fen, go make some tea."

After everyone sat down, the village head took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and said, "As the saying goes, it's hard for an upright official to break up housework. You are separated today. As for me, I'm an outsider, so it's not convenient for me to say anything more, but, As the head of a village, I will definitely not favor anyone, so let's get started."

Lin Mazi and Lin Wang were dumbfounded when they heard this. What does this mean?

Before they could react, Lin Yuan had already said: "Back then, everyone knew that my mother paid for the repair of this house, so this house should belong to me."

"Joke, this house was left to me by my father, which onion do you count?" Lin Mazi asked.

"Grandpa left it to you? Do you have a written will?" Lin Yuan sneered.

"I'm the old man's son, and I'll take care of him until the end of his life. If this house isn't mine, who else could it be?"

"First of all, this house was not funded by my grandfather. Even if he wants to leave it to someone, he has to discuss it with my mother, and my grandfather has not clearly stated who this house is for. If I remember correctly, the owner of this house Grandpa’s name is still written on the collective land use certificate, but you can’t produce strong evidence to prove that this house was left to you by grandpa.

Secondly, when it comes to retirement, I remember that my grandfather was seriously ill at the time, but you used the excuse of lack of money to not send him to the hospital for treatment, and let him wait in bed to die.But my mother couldn't stand it anymore and served him until she died.

Uncle will never forget that when grandpa passed away, he yelled at you for raising you as a scoundrel. At that time, many folks heard it. I remember that grandpa was also there. Grandpa, you also have an impression, yes Bar? "

Lin Wang smiled sarcastically, and said, "It's been several years, who still remembers it?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't remember it all the time. I and the people in the village remember it too." Lin Yuan sneered, changed the topic, and said to Lin Mazi: "So, uncle, do you count as paying for grandpa's retirement?"

"Fart! You don't want to squirt people with blood! I'm doing the right thing, but I'm not afraid of you! I'm telling you, don't worry about what you're talking about today, I'm going to fix this house!" Lin Mazi became angry and came directly horizontal.

"Don't scare people!" Lin Yuan said coldly, "If we have the ability, we will go to court and see who the judge will award this house to!"

"What's the point of bringing it up in court? The family is not allowed to talk about the two sides!" Lin Wang said seriously, using the airs of his elders to reprimand Lin Yuan and Lin Mazi: "This family has broken bones and tendons. Discuss the separation, but don't say anything that hurts the relationship."

"Brother Lin's words are reasonable," the village head also echoed, "A verbal argument won't solve the problem, so let's talk about your respective requirements, pockmarked, you go first."

Lin Mazi said domineeringly: "Anyway, I'm going to settle this house!"

"What about you, Lin Yuan?" the village chief asked.

"There is only one house. Since my uncle wants a house, it's not impossible for me to give in, but I have two requirements." Lin Yuan said.

The village chief said, "Tell me about it."

"First, since my uncle wants the house here, it's not too much to give me the ancestral house, right?"

Lin Mazi, his wife, and Lin Wang were all taken aback when they heard this, they never expected that Lin Yuan would want that ancestral house that was so old that it lost its teeth.

Speaking of the ancestral house, there is quite a bit of history.

According to legend, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, an ancestor of the Lin family had a senior high school Tanhua, and the official worshiped the third rank. Later, the Qing army entered the pass, joined the imperial court and made great contributions. Sheng Chong, this house was the residence given to him by Emperor Fulin at that time to live his life.

Rao was rich and luxurious back then, but after hundreds of years of changes, the prosperity has long been exhausted.

The Jiangnan Garden, which was once built around the mountains, has long been dilapidated, with ruins everywhere, and only a few dilapidated houses that leaked from rain and wind are left, which are the ancestral houses mentioned by Lin Yuankou.

"This request is not too much." Seeing that Lin Yuan backed down, Lin Wang gave Lin Mazi a wink, and Lin Mazi nodded in agreement.

Seeing that they had no objections, Lin Yuan continued, "Everyone knows that it is an old house. At that time, there was no homestead use certificate. From a legal point of view, it cannot be regarded as housing. Moreover, the ancestral house has been in disrepair for a long time. Even if I move there I can’t live in it, but the house my uncle wants now is different. Even if I searched all over Qinghe Town, I can’t find such a grand house. Therefore, my other request is that my uncle has to pay me a repair fee as compensation. "

The faces of Lin Mazi and his wife turned gloomy for a moment, and Lin Wang also remained sullen and didn't answer, but the village head who acted as an intermediary said something fair: "Lin Yuan's request is reasonable, but how much do you plan to ask for?"

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Back then, it cost [-] yuan to build this house, half of my uncle's family and I paid [-] yuan, and this house has been around for a long time. If you discount it, just give me [-] yuan!"

"Fifteen thousand!" Ji Fen exclaimed.

"Little bastard, why don't you go snatch someone!" Lin Mazi shouted angrily.

Lin Wang also frowned and said, "It's really too much."

At the end of 5000, [-] yuan was enough to build a spacious and beautiful one-story house in Linjiacun, a small and backward village.

"Then how much do you think is appropriate, Grandpa?" Lin Yuan asked back.

Lin Wang obviously didn't expect Lin Yuan to ask him such a question. He paused and said, "This is your housework. How can I intervene. Mazi, tell me."

Ji Fen winked at Lin Mazi, raised her index finger, and made a comparison. Lin Mazi understood: "1000 yuan."

"Uncle, are you sending a beggar?" Lin Yuan said with a smile, "You and I know how much of the money my mother got back in the past, except for repairing the house. I really want to go to court. Uncle paid I'm afraid it's far more than this number."

When Lin Mazi and his wife heard this, their faces were darker than the bottom of the pot. Ji Fen gritted his teeth and said, "4000 yuan, don't expect me to give you any more money!"

"It's rare for my aunt to be so forthright, so I'll give in a little bit, 10000 yuan, and I'll see you in court for a penny less!" Lin Yuan sneered.

Lin Yuan's reckless attitude completely angered Lin Mazi. Lin Mazi blushed, grabbed Lin Yuan's collar, and threatened, "Believe it or not, I will beat you to death right now, you bastard!"

"If you had the guts, you wouldn't be Lin Mazi." Lin Yuan said sarcastically, he couldn't understand this 'uncle' who bullied the weak and feared the hard, and he was very good at bullying their mother and son. Cowardly than anyone else.

"See if I dare to deal with you, you little white-eyed wolf!" He tried to hit Lin Yuan, but Lin Wang grabbed him.

The village chief said with a soft voice, "What are you doing? If you have something to say, speak up, Mazi, let Lin Yuan go first."

Lin Mazi pushed Lin Yuan angrily, and said, "Sooner or later, I will let you know how powerful I am."

"Accompany you at any time!" Lin Yuan stepped back two steps and stood firm, not to be outdone.

"Okay, let's not say a few words." The village chief said: "I know a lot about your old Lin family. As a middleman, I will say something fair today. Lin Yuan is still young. The ancestral house, study, and life necessitate money. Before he becomes an adult, according to the national law, Mazi, you, the uncle, as Lin Yuan's closest relative, must fulfill the duty of support. Of course, if you split up today It's another matter, but 4000 yuan is really too little..."

Ji Fen became anxious when she heard this, and exclaimed: "The village chief..."

"Okay, don't interrupt, just listen to me," the village head continued, "If Lin Yuan wants 10000 yuan, it's really too much. I'm afraid Mazi and the others won't have that much money for a while."

When Lin Mazi and his wife heard this, they immediately nodded in agreement, secretly proud that the gift given to the village chief last night was indeed right.

"How about this, give this old man some face, and you both take a step back. The Lin family's ancestral house will be distributed to Lin Yuan, and Lin Mazi will compensate Lin Yuan another 8000 yuan. This family will be divided. In the future, don't do it again because of this matter." How about making a fight and hurting relatives?"

"I have no objection." Lin Yuan replied, the result was much better than he thought.

Lin Wang gave Lin Mazi and his wife a wink, and Lin Mazi had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Success."

So, the matter of family separation was settled in this way. The village head wrote the paperwork for them. Lin Mazi also went to the rural credit union in the town to withdraw the money. On the spot, 8000 yuan was awarded to Lin Yuan. Everyone signed and pressed their fingerprints. , this one is divided.

In the afternoon, the village chief asked a few villagers to help Lin Yuan clean up, and moved to the ancestral house on the side of the mountain.

A dozen or so people worked for a whole afternoon to turn the dilapidated old house into a barely habitable place.

Fortunately, the kitchen of the ancestral house was slightly repaired and replaced with an iron pot, and it was still usable.Immediately, Lin Yuan went to the village to buy three big roosters, and made a whole chicken feast. Everyone ate so much that they praised Lin Yuan for his ability. For a moment, it seemed that he was no longer the illegitimate child in people's eyes.

After sending everyone away, Lin Yuan was so tired that he collapsed on the bed, thinking about the past, the intricate emotions in his heart finally turned into a short sigh and disappeared in the night wind.
