Chapter Forty-Seven: Extremely Resistant
"Can't go to court!"
Zhang He, who has been depressed all the time, did not pursue his aunt's "running train with a mouth", and said that the TV that was originally 1800 was 2050, and he did not come out to help grandpa say a few words when he became the target of public criticism. On the contrary, after hearing the word court, he immediately walked out of the house with a gloomy face.
The reason why he is so sensitive to the word court can even be said to be resistant from the bottom of his heart. Not only because he has a premonition that with the current situation, once he goes to court, his parents' divorce lawsuit will inevitably overlap with the "trajectory" of the previous life, and he can't let his mother "revisit" that period of history. What's more, he himself has a bit of a grudge against the court, because the "two homes" he once owned ended up here. Especially the "family tragedy" after the death of his grandmother, which still makes him shudder. It all started with a phone call from his wife, Mireen.
"Bell bell bell-"
"Hey, hello. ... Be. ... He's not here, the phone is at home, can you tell me something... Huh? Because of what?... The ?... of the house in Zhushikou Can he not go?... Does he have to go if he gives up?... That's it, next Tuesday, 10 a.m., right. Okay, I told him. Mi Lin hung up the phone, returned to the house with a gloomy face, came to the back room and threw the phone on the TV cabinet, and said to Zhang He, who was nesting in the sofa watching TV: "Your aunts are crazy!"
"What's the matter? Who's calling?" Zhang He couldn't help but chuckle in his heart when he heard this, and immediately sat up straight and frowned. Because since his grandmother's funeral, his aunts have changed their strategy, and they no longer show up at the ancestral house, but instead call him to ask when he will move out. Especially in the May Day, Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival, which are three days of family fun for other people's families, but for him, they are the death days of grandma, grandfather, and mother. This was undoubtedly a torture for him, so he finally chose to take his wife and children to rent a house, and he must move out of his ancestral home, because it is no longer the place where he grew up, but a hotbed of his pain.
As for Mi Lin, she didn't dare to mention the past, she knew that her husband had not said that the phone had been ringing in the past few years, and even the knock on the door of the courier would make him feel inexplicably nervous. It's even more unthinkable to say something like today, which is directed at his aunt as soon as he comes up. That's why today she will immediately take her mobile phone to answer it as soon as she sees the phone ringing, but the content of this call made her unable to take into account Zhang He's feelings, and she could only reply angrily with her emotions: "The court came, and your aunt sued you." ”
"Why isn't it over yet! Aren't all the houses sold? Don't they also take the money? Why are they going to court again?" Zhang He said excitedly.
"It's not about Guangqumen, it's about Zhushikou. Mireen sat down and said.
"Zhushikou?" Zhang He subconsciously repeated, and then immediately said: "They're crazy, right?
Zhang He could never have imagined that he, the "proletariat", had not fought for the so-called "actual permanent population of the house", the so-called "following his grandmother to serve his grandmother from childhood to adulthood", and the so-called "legally able to completely inherit half of the real estate rights enjoyed by his grandmother", he could finally refuse the kindness of the neighboring grandmothers who were willing to testify in court, and chose to only honestly subrogate one-fifth of his mother. The third aunt is the wife of the director of a state-owned food factory in Beijing, and the fourth aunt is the wife of the director of a state-owned art institution. "None of them are short of money? And they have just received 600,000 yuan from the sale of the house, and they haven't covered the money! Why did they go to the court in a daze? Why can't their greed be satisfied?"
Zhang He was really speechless, so he immediately answered: "Can I not go?"
"I just asked, no! The court said that all the people had to be there. Mi Lin said coldly.
"Let's not do it, okay?" Zhang He frowned.
"I also mean it, but people say that the first court session must be held, and even if you give up, you have to go to the court to sign. Mireen replied.
"I'll do it. Zhang He nestled into the sofa again and looked out the window without love.
But at this moment, the mobile phone on the TV cabinet rang again.
Mi Lin subconsciously picked up her mobile phone and looked at the screen, and was about to go out, but suddenly stopped, frowned and said to Zhang He: "Your aunt is here, you can take it, it is estimated that it is about the court." After speaking, he threw the phone to Zhang He, turned around and walked out of the back room.
Zhang He stood up with his mobile phone, walked to the balcony and calmed down, until the phone rang five or six times, he pressed the answer button, and said out the window with a serious expression.
"Why did you answer it for so long?" came his aunt's "gentle" voice on the other end of the phone.
"Ahh
"You stinky babe, why don't you show up? It's been almost half a year, right? I don't know how to call my aunt. Where do you live now?"
"Hey, it's really different! When I didn't move before, I would just say, "When are you moving?" Hmph, when I signed to sell the house, why didn't anyone care where I lived!" Zhang He couldn't help but sigh and replied: "Well, I'm still a tour guide." Now I live in Yushoji Temple. ”
"Your father-in-law's room?" the aunt wondered.
"No, it's my rented room. Zhang He, who didn't want to tell his aunt where he lived, still told the truth, it seems that he still expects his aunt to show even a trace of distress about his recent situation at this moment.
But he was wrong, and her aunt didn't show half surprise or a short silence at his answer, but suddenly asked, "Eh, have you contacted your fourth aunt?"
"Nope. Zhang He sighed in disappointment.
"She didn't give you any money after taking the money?" asked the aunt.
Zhang He looked at the swaying treetops outside the window with a confused look, and replied casually: "What are you doing for me?
"Didn't she say back then that he didn't want Guangqumen's room, and she gave you all her share?"
"Heh, it's the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse, how much is the house worth when it's inside?"
Do you remember that she secretly took her grandmother's ID card, and when she returned to her hometown, she hurriedly signed with the demolition and relocation office to get the money and buy the inner house where she lives now. Later, grandma didn't recognize her because of this, and you always said good things for her in front of grandma, persuaded grandma's family to be prosperous, and grinded grandma for seven years! In front of all of us, she said that she would not want to open the canal in the future, and said that she would give you all her share. We've all heard it. ”
"Hey, hehe, this is another hatred and a united front! What a human mouth! You are all still in the inner heaven when my mother died and when I want to buy a house, you said in front of your grandmother that you would leave the house in Guangqumen to me! But what happened in the end? Cut, it was really a crow falling on the pig, and you could see that others were black but you couldn't see yourself black. Although Zhang He was not angry in his heart, he still said: "Hey, people will change." ”
"People change, but I didn't expect your fourth aunt to give you a cent. Don't forget her, if you hadn't helped her so much, she wouldn't have been able to get out of that room?"
"Yes, yes, but what can I do? I didn't help her for money. ”
"What's the matter? Sue her! The money she used to buy a house back then was taken from her grandmother's demolition money. If it weren't for you to stop grandma, grandma would have sued her a long time ago. The aunt automatically blocked the second half of Zhang He's sentence and cut directly to the topic.
"Hey, let's not toss, okay? Zhang He said helplessly.
"You're just stupid, why let her take advantage. The house in Zhushikou is what Grandpa asked for for your mother and your father's marriage, and it should be yours at the root! What does it have to do with her? Auntie raised her voice slightly and said excitedly.
"Didn't Grandma promise her when she was alive?
"What's the matter? Grandma said to her, it's not that you grind it. She occupies a suite together, and Guangqumen has not lost a penny, how can she be so suitable? Besides, if she gives you some, it will be fine!
"Didn't I tell you? I didn't want it at all. Zhang He raised his voice.
"You're just a bully! How did she treat you for so many years, don't you know? At first, she said that she would give you all her share, but then she knew that the house was worth 1 million, so she changed her story and said that she would give you half. Later, it rose to 2 million, and he said that he would give you 100,000 when you buy a house in the future. Now that the house is sold for 3 million, she doesn't mention it in black or white. Are you really heartless, babe? Or have you been drugged by her? To tell you the truth, I have already sued her, and the court will be held next Tuesday. But this kind of lawsuit is who sues and who is the plaintiff, so you and your aunt, third aunt and fourth aunt are both defendants. It is estimated that the court will call you in the next two days, don't be afraid when you answer, not to sue you, but to sue your fourth aunt. Seeing that Zhang He couldn't say anything, the aunt simply directly explained the cause of the call.
"You sued the fourth aunt?" Zhang He pretended to be stupid.
"Ahh Why can't you make her all suitable?" said the aunt solemnly.
"Then why do you have to involve me and my aunt and third aunt?" Zhang He was puzzled.
"You stupid boy! Is this house in Zhushikou used to be grandma's name? Since it belongs to grandma, is it true that we all have a share? Your aunt wants to share the house she lives in now? But the court doesn't support it. So this lawsuit is the demolition money of the year. I sued me as the plaintiff, and your other heirs were all defendants. Do you understand this time?" explained the aunt.
"Understood. So you have to go?" Zhang He said listlessly.
"Yes, we all have to go. Next Tuesday at 10 a.m., Chongwen Court, Hall 3. ”
"Chongwen Court?" Zhang He couldn't help but pause, and then said: "Is it in the alley east of Shazikou, where my parents divorced?"
"Yes, yes, heh, do you remember all these years? You have a good memory, young man!" the aunt complimented "happily".
Zhang He immediately removed the mobile phone from his ear, closed his eyes for a few seconds, and then raised the mobile phone again and said, "Come on, go to my hall at ten o'clock on Tuesday at 3 o'clock!"
"Don't be late!By the way, don't forget to bring your ID!" Auntie reminded.
"Howler!" replied Zhang He weakly.
"It's done, then I'll hang up. ”
After hanging up the phone of his aunt, Zhang He looked out the window and was stunned, he still couldn't understand why the aunts could be so straightforward and relaxed when they turned their backs on family affection to choose interests. And when faced with the choice of feelings and interests, he can never "keep up" with this era.
Zhang He lit a cigarette, opened the window and spit out a deep puff of smoke outside, and subconsciously said, "Hey, it's all for the children." ”
This sentence was originally used by him to persuade himself after the family feud three years ago, but he couldn't imagine that he couldn't let go of it today. "I also have children? I didn't go to college? I'm still an out-and-out grassroots! Why don't I do this?" Zhang He suddenly overturned the previous reasons he used to comfort himself, such as "aunts are all for younger brothers and sisters" and "aunts didn't have the opportunity to receive a good education when they were young", and finally began to wake up to "greed may be the original state of human nature."
