When Zhou came back at dusk, Shen Xi hurriedly told Zhou about the matter.

Zhou muttered: "We are not very easy to manage other people's family affairs...... Han Wa'er, we'll make dinner in a while, and you can send it to your aunt. ”

Shen Xi frowned: "Mother, you still said that you are good sisters with your aunt, and now that your aunt is in trouble, can't you even say a word of comfort?" Besides, if the shop is taken back by those people, I'm afraid we will have to move. ”

"What are you talking about?"

Zhou glared at Shen Xi and said, "We are renting this courtyard, not a pharmacy." Even if the Lu family is quite unreasonable, according to the agreement, at least we have to live for half a year. ”

Shen Xixin said that her mother's brain would not turn around, thinking that the yard had been rented, and even if the Lu family took back the property, they would still continue to rent the yard to her according to the agreement.

"Mother, do you really think that those people who are plotting to rob other people's property will be as easy to talk as aunt? We rented a house at the price of cabbage, and it was my aunt and us who fell in love to keep the rent so low, and after changing the owner, do you think there is such a good thing? ”

Shen Xi smiled bitterly, shook his head and analyzed: "What's more, the foundation of the Lu family is on the Jiangxi side, how can it stay in our Ninghua realm for a long time?" After they took back the shop and yard, the first thing they did was to sell it for silver and return to their hometown. ”

"Take 10,000 steps back, even if the new owner allows us to continue renting, he will follow the agreement between us and my aunt, and the price will definitely increase when the time comes!" Bai Plating means that hey, the eye brother closes the mouth and heart chapter

"That's right!"

Zhou slapped his thigh and suddenly realized: "You are still smart, and those who have read books are different from those who have not read." Let's go see your aunt...... Oh, it still doesn't work, this is someone's family affair, what is the matter with us getting involved! ”

Due to the incomparably strong clan power in this era, people at this time have almost formed a mindset, but when it comes to other people's family affairs, even if the reason does not make sense, outsiders are not allowed to interfere.

Shen Xi shouted: "Mother, if you don't help your aunt, our family will sleep on the street in the future!" Oooh! ”

"Go, go!"

Zhou slapped Shen Xi's head and scolded angrily: "You stinky boy, you don't know what to say, why do you sleep on the street?" Okay, okay, mother, I'll go over with you to have a look, if you go to your aunt's place, you kid dares to talk nonsense, you have to beat your ass to pieces! ”

Zhou took Shen Xi to the pharmacy, Hui Niang was still crying sadly, and after Zhou's explanation, Hui Niang finally stopped crying.

Zhou said with concern: "Sister, we women have never been treated well by men, and the husband is very good, but once the husband dies, he is lonely, who will call the shots for us?" Sister, what are your plans for the future? ”

"I ...... I don't know ......."

Hui Niang shook her head, her voice choked: "I...... I want to take Xi'er back to her parents' house, but ...... I have no relatives in my hometown, only a few distant relatives, and when I go back, I will see if I have no way to live, I would rather go with Xi'er and his father. ”

"Sister, don't you think about it, you don't think about yourself, you should think about your child, Xi'er is still so young, you can't bear to let her be an orphan? There is no hurdle in this world that cannot be overcome, gritting your teeth and successfully crossing it! By the way, my sister didn't think about remarrying? ”

Hui Niang's head shook into a rattle, perhaps thinking of a sad place, and tears fell like beads with broken threads......

Shen Xi couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw this, a man who loved his wife and daughter during his lifetime left behind a meager property for his wife and daughter to barely make ends meet after he died, but it was just such a little thing, and some people coveted it, which really made people sigh the hardships and difficulties of the world.

There is no way for the Zhou family next time, so he will accompany Hui Niang to wipe her tears.

Shen Xi's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said, "Auntie, those people come to rob the shop, and you will make trouble with them...... There are officials to support us! ”

"What do children know about ......" Zhou scolded Shen Xi, but turned his head and asked Hui Niang, "Has my sister wanted to go to the government?" ”

Sun Huiniang shook her head: "These properties belong to the Lu family, even if we go to the official mansion, how can the official master give us orphans and widows the masters?" ”

Zhou pondered for a while, and also felt that it was unlikely, so he sighed faintly.

Shen Xi said: "Mother, aunt, uncle has passed away, and there are no parents and brothers, so in a sense, my uncle's house is considered to be a dead house." According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, if there is no one who has no property in the same clan, the daughter born will inherit the share, and the one who has no woman will enter the official. ”

This means that Xi'er has the natural inheritance of her uncle's property, and your aunt has custody of this property. In addition, this property was obtained by my uncle through his own efforts, and it is not the ancestral property of the Lu family, even if those people are also surnamed Lu, but they are not from my uncle's family, so there is no reason to shop at all...... As long as the aunt and daughter do not remarry, no one can occupy the family property belonging to Xi'er. ”

Zhou's eyes lit up when he heard this, grabbed Shen Xi's hand, and asked, "Han Wa'er, where did you hear these words?" ”

"I ...... I thought of it myself. ”

Shen Xi knew that he shouldn't say such things at his age, but at this time, in order to help Hui Niang, he couldn't care so much.

Shen Xi is very aware of the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and there have been cases of property disputes in various eras of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not uncommon for her husband to die and leave the property to be taken away by people with the same surname.

The "Da Ming Decree" stipulates: "If a woman's husband dies and has no children, she shall inherit the husband's share, and the heir must be chosen by the patriarch to choose a person equivalent to Zhaomu." The remarried, the property of the husband's family and the original dowry, and listen to the ex-husband's family. This provision explicitly links the widow's takeover of her deceased husband's property with succession. In this way, the widow is no longer entitled to inherit the property of her deceased husband and is legally obliged to succeed her.

This law is the main reason why the Lu family dares to come to the door to ask for property.

However, the specific situation needs to be analyzed in detail, although Lu Shaobo's house is now extinct, there is still Lu Xi'er, a daughter, to inherit the property. At the same time, the pharmacy and real estate in Ninghua County were created by Lu Shaobo himself by working hard outside, and there is controversy over whether it is considered an ancestral property, and the key is to see how to understand the county order of the judgment.

"You stinky boy, how old are you, how can you say such crepe words? I ask you, is the old gentleman who taught you to read and write back? ”

Zhou glared at Shen Xi, and then said to Hui Niang: "Sister, if you have the help of that powerful old gentleman, there is hope for your lawsuit...... The old gentleman had no last resort, and our family relied on his old man's help to finally settle down. ”

Listening to Zhou's words, Hui Niang's pale face had a little blood, and her eyes were full of hope when she looked at Shen Xi.

There must be hope in people's hearts, Hui Niang has already bowed her head and accepted her fate, but now she heard that someone can help her win the lawsuit, and finally has the courage to fight again.

Zhou twisted Shen Xi's ears: "Come on, is the old gentleman back?" ”

Shen Xi struggled to break free, rubbing his ears and said, "The old gentleman didn't leave in the first place. ”

"Really?"

Zhou's face was full of a smile of relief, "Then why don't you take your mother to thank the old gentleman?" Our family can benefit a lot from him...... Now you have to beg his old man to help your aunt fight for a shop, don't say you don't know where his old man is. ”

Shen Xi was in a dilemma now.

The old gentleman doesn't exist at all, how can he take Zhou to see him?

However, Shen Xi's mind turned quickly, and he immediately said: "The old gentleman asked me to tell you that he went to the provincial capital, just because I didn't want anyone to disturb him and disturb his old man's cultivation. The old gentleman told me that if anything happened, he would come to me. ”

"Just now when I came home from school, the old gentleman suddenly appeared, and he said that the Lu family ignored the orphans and widows, and came to snatch the family property arrogantly, which is simply intolerable, so the old gentleman taught me something and asked me to tell my mother and aunt, so that you can rest assured."

"The old gentleman also said that as long as this lawsuit is sued to the county government, according to the current evidence, we will win, and maybe the old gentleman will come out to help in person at that time."
