Halfway through, Xie Han and his wife took their son and led their niece Xie Bitao to visit the grave of her father Xie Wu.

Xie Wu is Xie Han's second brother, who died eight years ago, and his second sister-in-law has remarried. When Xie Wu died, Xie Han was not married, and he alone bore the funeral expenses of his second brother. Later, the second sister-in-law remarried, and Xie Bitao lived with her grandparents and Xie Han.

Seven years ago, Yuan Qiuhua married into the Xie family, and Xie Bitao still lives with her grandparents and Xie Han.

Six years ago, before his father-in-law died, he entrusted Xie Bitao to Xie Han and Yuan Qiuhua to take care of. At that time, although Yuan Qiuhua was pregnant, because she was not pregnant for six months, she had no way of knowing whether it was a boy or a girl, but taking over Xie Bitao would undoubtedly increase the financial burden, and adopting a niece would undoubtedly take up the fertility index.

Whether it is according to customs or according to law, even if the grandfather dies, the granddaughter should continue to be raised by the grandmother, if the grandmother has no financial ability and cannot bear the cost of raising the child, you can let the uncles and aunts share it equally.

Xie Han and his wife discussed and discussed, but they couldn't say any reason for refusing in the face of their lonely niece, but all the prevarications they could think of, looking directly at the old man's eager eyes, couldn't open their mouths no matter what. The final result, naturally, was that both nodded in agreement, promising to raise their niece as an adult, and treat it as out, love plus one.

Since that day, Xie Bitao has lived with Xie Han and his wife, and the household registration has been transferred to Xie Han's family and has become an official family.

Because she is an immediate family member, she does not have to go through the adoption procedures, but Xie Bitao's identity as an adopted daughter is still protected by the law, even if it is the property of Xie Han and his wife, whether it is inherited by one party or income generated by both parties, she still has the same inheritance rights as the biological children of Xie Han and his wife, even after marriage, the family property that belongs to her can still be disposed of by her.

From a legal point of view, Xie Bitao's father died, her mother remarried, and she had no brothers and sisters, and she became a lonely orphan, who was taken in and raised by Xie Han and his wife, and was already the adopted daughter of Xie Han's family, once the adoption relationship was established, she obtained the right to inherit the family property of her adoptive parents, and at the same time assumed the parental authority to obey her adoptive parents, and the obligation to abide by the adoptive teachings, and also had the obligation to support her adoptive parents in the future, and the adoptive parents were not allowed to abuse at will, and abandoned the adoptive daughter at will, and the offender committed a crime, even if the adoptive parents gave birth to children, the identity of the adoptive daughter was still not lost, and the adoptive parents' family property still enjoyed the same equal inheritance rights。

In special circumstances like Xie Bitao's, the establishment of the adoption relationship does not mean that the identity relationship with the biological parents is terminated, and the family property of the biological parents also enjoys the right of inheritance, and the remarried mother cannot be severed, even if the mother does not raise her as an adult, there is still an obligation to support her in the future.

According to the family rules, it is precisely because Xie Bitao has become the adopted daughter of Xie Han's family, and it is customary to let Xie Han's son inherit to Xie Wu, and the nephew as the heir has been recorded in the family tree and officially became Xie Wu's heir. According to the custom of "one son for each of the two sons, and half for each son", Xie Han's son is Xie Wu's half son, which is commensurate with Xie Bitao's adopted daughter, and once the heir relationship is established, Xie Wu's family property also enjoys the same equal inheritance rights.

Assuming that feelings aside, independent economic accounts, Xie Wu is dead, living in debt before his death, and after his death, there is only a semi-dilapidated brick house (occupied by Xie Wen), a decayed and dilapidated two-story wing house (occupied by Shu Zhiqiang), and a roof foundation of 80 square meters (occupied by Xie Ying), and Xie Han and his wife are in the prime of life, and they both have craftsmanship to earn money, and the family business is gradually expanding. Not to mention what the future holds, just at present, Xie Han's family has four houses, the foundation is 200 square meters, and the savings are hundreds of thousands, not to mention the hard work of raising, if only the inheritance rights are equally shared, can Xie Bitao suffer?

Therefore, the lights are on in the first half of the month, the tomb sweeping is carried out on the Qingming Festival, the paper money is burned in the middle of July, the sacrifices are made every year, and so on, and so on, the other brothers no longer care, and Xie Han buys sacrifices, and takes his son to lead his niece to the second brother's grave to burn incense and burn paper, and worship the memorial.

It has become a practice for the days to go by, year after year.
