Legacy Zhang Baotong 2018.7.13

On that day, a friend of his wife's, who she hadn't seen for a long time, cried and told her that Chang Sheng was gone. Chang Sheng is Lingxia's husband. Lingxia and Chang Sheng were laid off from the factory in the 80s, and they have lived a very hard life over the years, and even the house is still demolished. Moreover, Lingxia also had rectal cancer, and her life was almost lost, and she still has a fecal bag on her body. But Chang Sheng has always been very good to Lingxia. The two have been through ups and downs for decades, and finally survived to retirement, and both got pensions. Chang Sheng is still in charge of cleaning the streets, and he can earn more than 2,000 yuan a month. Life is okay.

However, half a year ago, Chang Sheng died of a heart attack, and Lingxia fell into loneliness from then on. As she spoke, she said to her wife in a very remorseful tone, "I hurt Changsheng." "My wife was very puzzled, saying that Chang Sheng obviously died of a heart attack, how could it be that you caused it?

So, Lingxia told her wife that she had been hiding the secret in her heart. She said that her mother had been dead for many years, and that her father had been in charge of the management committee of an industrial park for many years, and that his salary was quite good. However, at the beginning of last year, my father suddenly fell ill and died. Because Lingxia's house was given to her married son, she and Chang Sheng lived in their father's house. There were three rooms in my father's house, and the largest one was the one for them to live in.

After his father's burial, the little brother carried an axe into his father's house. Lingxia didn't let her brother into the house. But my brother raised the axe and threatened that if I didn't smash my father's cabinet, I would cut people. Because the little brother himself is an idle skin on the street, he doesn't work well, he likes to work hard, and he is ruthless, and he dares to do anything. So, Lingxia called her husband Chang Sheng. Chang Sheng held an iron rod and confronted his little brother. But the younger brother said that he was willing to divide his father's money equally with her. Hearing this, Lingxia asked her little brother and Chang Sheng to smash her father's cabinet open. There are more than 500,000 deposits in the cabinet. As a result, the little brother took a deposit receipt of 300,000 yuan and gave the deposit receipt of 200,000 yuan to Lingxia. Later, Lingxia's eldest sister and younger sister, as well as two elder brothers, came over to discuss the distribution of her father's inheritance, and found that her father's cabinet had been smashed open, so she knew that her younger brother and Lingxia had done it together. So, the four of them worked together to sell their father's house and divide the money equally.

Since then, the siblings have become like a feud and the relationship has been severed. Originally, this was the end of the matter. However, within half a year, the little brother suddenly suffered a cerebral infarction. Then, half a year later, Lingxia's husband Chang Sheng also died of a heart attack. Therefore, Lingxia always thought that God was punishing them for smashing their father's cabinet. She said to her wife with great regret that if she knew that there would be such a result today, she would rather not have a penny than let Chang Sheng smash her father's cabinet.

Maybe Lingxia's little brother and her husband Chang Sheng's deaths were all due to sudden cerebral infarction and heart and brain disease, but because they both did that kind of hurtful thing, it would be easy to think that this was God's punishment for them. But this should be regarded as a tragedy caused by his father's inheritance.

In the past few decades, our parents have experienced very difficult times and the era of rapid development of the country, and because of frugality and frugality, they will more or less save some savings and leave one or two houses. These are legacies. However, these legacies they have worked so hard to leave behind do not bring them much comfort, on the contrary, they often become the source of contention and rebellion among their children.

One of my former neighbors, whose father was a railroad worker, died of illness before he was in his sixties, leaving only one house for his two sons. Because the eldest has been living with his father for many years, after his father's death, the eldest naturally changed his father's house to his name. But the younger brother felt that the elder brother had been stained with his father's light for many years, and now he had monopolized his father's house, so he asked his brother many times to sell the house and divide it equally between the two. However, the elder brother firmly disagreed, feeling that the house should belong to him. After arguing again and again, the younger brother lost his patience and felt that it was useless to reason with his brother, so he began to carry a kitchen knife to reason with his brother. The elder brother was a little scared when he saw his younger brother playing tricks, so when he saw his younger brother coming, he simply closed the security door and didn't let his younger brother in. However, the younger brother did not get the money he deserved, and of course he would not give up, so he came to his brother again and again with a kitchen knife to ask for it. Although the elder brother always avoids the younger brother, can he avoid the fifteenth year after hiding from the first year of junior high school? Therefore, everyone is very worried that one day, the younger brother is in a hurry or out of control, and the kitchen knife is likely to fall on the elder brother's head.

I used to have a very good colleague when I worked in the Education Commission, but because of the inheritance, I still have a stranger to my younger brother, and the two now live in the upper floors of the unit, and often meet in the same elevator, but neither of them looks at each other. The reason is this, my colleague's family has four brothers and a younger sister. Before his father died, he told the four brothers that the house would be left to his younger brother. Because only the younger brother of the four brothers works in Weinan County, while the others are in Xi'an. However, after the death of the father, the mother had to be fed. Therefore, everyone proposed that whoever feeds for the mother will own the house. However, the younger brother was reluctant to take on this task because he was not in Xi'an and could not take on this task. And the others didn't want to bear it, so in the end, my colleague had to bear it, because he was the eldest of the four brothers. Because he had to feed the elderly, he lived in the house that his father had left behind. Later, after the death of his mother, the house was demolished. At this time, the younger brother was also transferred from Weinan to Xi'an. When he returned to Xi'an, because he had no house to live in, his younger brother asked his brother for a house, because his father had said in front of everyone that the house was reserved for him. However, my brother called everyone together and asked everyone to talk. Of course, everyone is towards their brother, because this is the agreement they made together. Therefore, the younger brother felt that they had conspired to tamper with his father's will and deprive him of his inheritance rights. The elder brother, on the other hand, thought that the house was his reward for feeding his mother. Later, the younger brother had to buy a house in his father's flat. Moreover, my brother's house is also divided into the same building, and it just so happens that the two of them are going up and down the stairs. But more than ten years have passed, and the two still see each other like enemies.

Inheritance is like pie falling from the sky, and the temptation for children is too great. For example, if you let your children buy a house now, it will cost you seven or eight hundred thousand or millions, to say the least. And this money is almost a lifetime struggle for ordinary children. Even if it is 120,000 yuan, it will take the family to work hard for two or three years. Therefore, who can resist the temptation of such a large sum of property obtained without hard work? Under the temptation and drive of huge profits, family affection and flesh-and-blood affection will seem indifferent and pale. Moreover, the relationship between people is originally "there is no eternal family affection, only eternal interests". From ancient times to the present, the law of survival has always been "people die for money, and birds die for food". If these two sentences are used to analyze, the inheritance competition between siblings cannot be understood.

As a father, he always wants to save more property for his children, so that when he dies, he will leave an inheritance to his children, so that they can live well. They had good intentions, but they couldn't imagine what the consequences of his legacy would be for their children. How many brothers and sisters were originally a harmonious and close family, but because of the unfair or unsatisfactory distribution of the inheritance, they ended up with hatred, like enemies, and even went to court. For example, the inheritance turmoil of Ji Xianlin and Hou Yaowen, Chen Yifei's children did not hesitate to go to court in order to fight for the inheritance. Far from leaving much joy for future generations, their legacy has caused them a lot of trouble. If the deceased had learned that their children were fighting over the inheritance and had turned against each other, they might have preferred to donate the inheritance rather than leave it to them.
