Life 1984

Chapter 240
Guo Wanhua is Chen Wanzhao's widow and should be in charge of the funeral affairs. In addition, the Chen family has brothers and relatives to help, so Li Yunhai does not need help.

But Li Yunhai still stayed by Guo Wanhua's side silently.

After negotiating with the funeral home, Li Yunhai accompanied Guo Wanhua back to Chen's home in Deep Water Bay.

The wives and children of the Chen family all gathered together.

They are not here to discuss Chen Wanzhao's funeral, but to compete for real estate.

Chen Wanzhao transferred his main property into a family trust fund, but he also had three villas, two apartment buildings used to collect rent, and several luxury cars under his name. These properties were not sold and were not included in the trust fund.

Each child can get 100 million Hong Kong dollars per month, which seems like a lot, but it is not enough for the expenses of the upper class. Some of them gamble hundreds of thousands just to buy brand-name bags and clothes. Tens of thousands, a luxury car worth millions.So they all have to fight for these ready-made properties.

When Guo Wanhua came back, the family was already noisy.

Brothers in the countryside were beaten to death for a few acres of land and a few houses, not to mention tens of millions of mansions and millions of luxury cars.

On the luxurious European-style sofa in the living room, the eldest lady sat in the middle. Her broad and fat body and high fat head showed her absolute authority over the family.

Guo Wanhua walked up to the eldest lady with a calm face and said calmly: "Sister, this is my house, please get out!"

The eldest lady said angrily: "What did you say? What do you think of this place? This is a Wanzhao house. Do you think it is your private property? What qualifications do you have to drive us out!"

Guo Wanhua took out a book and threw it in front of the eldest wife.

This is the Regulations on the Status of Married Persons.

Guo Wanhua sneered: "According to the law, after the death of the husband, the property not specified in the will belongs to the wife and children. What qualifications do you have to talk about the distribution of these properties?"

In Hong Kong’s marriage and family law, there is no community property system as in the Mainland.After a couple gets married, the property of one party does not automatically become the joint property of the other party.In the event of divorce, in principle, each party's property belongs to each other and will be taken away by each other.

Therefore, it is impossible to divide half of the family property through divorce in Hong Kong.

Chen Wanzhao's previous wives only received limited amounts of donated compensation after divorce.

This is why they come back to fight for the family property.

But Guo Wanhua is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so how can we let them compete for the inheritance?

The eldest wife looked at the book and realized that she was in the wrong. Her voice suddenly softened and she said: "Lao Wu, your children have the right to inherit, and our children also have the right to inherit. You can't just take it all by yourself, right? Don't you think so?"

It was related to everyone’s rights and interests, and everyone said yes with a bang!
The whole room was chattering and discussing non-stop.

Guo Wanhua's pretty face turned cold: "Then apply to the court for a letter of administration and handle these inheritances according to the law. Each of you will issue a certified kinship certificate. After Wan Zhao is buried, we will go to court together. What are you arguing about here? ? If you win the fight, will the property be yours?"

The eldest lady stood up in a hurry and said: "Okay, let's meet in court then! This largest villa should be given to the eldest son, and no one can take it away. Fifth child, I don't even bother to argue with you about your affairs in the mainland. .But should Chen Meilin’s identity require a paternity certification?”

Chen Meilin was not too young yet, so she understood these words, and shouted loudly with a cry: "What do you mean by this? Do you doubt that I am not daddy's biological child? You are insulting my mommy!"

Guo Wanhua's pretty face turned red with anger, she hugged her daughter and said, "Meilin, ignore them. They are talking nonsense! You are your parents' biological daughter."

Li Yunhai took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "How can you, so many of you, bully widows and orphans?"

The eldest lady pointed at him, waved her hand, and shouted in a deep voice: "Who are you? Is it your turn to speak here?"

Guo Wanhua said loudly: "He is my cousin in the mainland!"

The eldest lady ouched: "Cousin? Do you have a cousin?"

Guo Wanhua bit her lip and said, "Why can't I have a cousin?"

A 30-year-old woman next to her giggled and said, "Fifth Aunt, I heard that you have a pretty boy in the Mainland. Could it be this man?"

Li Yunhai knew that she was the eldest wife's daughter, and with a sharp look in his eyes, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped her hard: "Your father's body is not even cold yet, and you are here laughing and joking! How do you behave?"

This slap stunned the other party. She held her face in her hands and said to the wife: "Mom, he hit me!"

The eldest wife took her daughter's hand and said to Li Yunhai angrily: "You are too presumptuous! How dare you hit my daughter! Do you think there is no royal law in Xiangjiang?"

Li Yunhai said sternly: "Is the law of Xiangjiang just to let you curse people casually? Is the law of Xiangjiang to let you bully the widow? Is the law of Xiangjiang to let you laugh right after your father died? What? Is this what the King’s Law stipulates?”

His righteous words shocked the other party. He knew that he was in the wrong and did not dare to attack Li Yunhai again.

Guo Wanhua looked at Li Yunhai gratefully.

At this time, Chen's eldest son stood up and said: "Everyone, stop arguing! Let's deal with daddy's funeral affairs first! In my opinion, all these properties should be sold according to daddy's will. According to 12 Let the two heirs share it equally, so that no one suffers! Fifth Aunt, what do you think?"

Guo Wanhua also did not think about taking these inheritances for herself, and said slowly: "Yes! Guangxin divides it this way is the most appropriate. I have a suggestion. Whoever wants to buy these inheritances in the family can buy it first. You can also use the portion he deserves. Share to offset the amount.”

Chen Guangxin nodded and said: "The fifth aunt's suggestion is very good. My mother and I grew up in this villa since we were young. I want to buy this villa. I will definitely pay the amount of compensation."

The eldest lady looked unhappy: "Guangxin, why should we pay? This house should belong to you."

Chen Guangxin waved his hand and said: "Mommy, we are all a family, and it is best to distribute property equally. Please don't interfere in this matter. I will handle it. OK?"

Li Yunhai thought to himself that this eldest son was quite a sensible person.

Everyone made a rough calculation of the property and found that there is about 3 million inheritance to be distributed. 12 people should divide it, and each person should get about 2500 million.

This largest villa is worth 3500 million, and Chen Guangxin also wants to buy two of the luxury cars at a discount of 1000 million.The total price is 4500 million. After deducting the 2500 million he deserves, he still has to pay 2000 million.

The most valuable ones are the two rent-collecting apartments, worth about [-] million, which can only be distributed after they are sold.

Guo Wanhua thought for a while and said: "I will buy the other two villas and two apartment buildings. There are also two cars. If you don't want them, I will buy them too!"

As soon as this remark came out, the scene suddenly exploded.

The eldest lady asked: "How come you have so much money? It can't be tens of trillions of dollars, right?"

Guo Wanhua said proudly: "The money I earned from running a business in the mainland! This is my own business, my own money! It has nothing to do with the Chen family! If you don't believe it, you can check it!"

Chen Guangxin said: "Fifth Aunt, if you can buy it all, that would be the best. Daddy's property will not fall into the hands of outsiders. After deducting the 2500 million you deserve, you still have to pay 2.3 million."

Guo Wanhua said: "Okay, it's settled."

None of the Chen family expected that Guo Wanhua, who had always been weak, could be so ambitious!
Li Yunhai thought to himself, no wonder Guo Wanhua had not used the funds in her hands before. It turned out that she had already budgeted.

Guo Wanhua only had more than 2 million funds, and this time all of them were invested in the assets of the Chen family.

However, this investment is very worthwhile. Whether it is a villa or an apartment, there is room for appreciation in the future.The apartment can also continuously bring rental income to Guo Wanhua.

Guo Wanhua has been married into the Chen family for so long, and this is the most proud time for her!
She used the billions she earned to let the Chen family see her extraordinary side.

The Chen family looked at her differently.

Guo Wanhua said in a deep voice: "Okay, everything has been settled. There will be a funeral at the funeral home tomorrow, so everyone should go early. Today, I am still the owner of this house! Please leave!"

At this moment, no one dared to talk back to Guo Wanhua, and their attitude towards her was different from before.

In this world, it is true that the strong are respected, and whoever has money is the talker.

Guo Wanhua sent a message asking them to leave, but the Chen family didn't even dare to fart.

Everyone agreed, and before leaving, they did not forget to say to Guo Wanhua:
"Fifth sister, you should go to bed early."

"Fifth Aunt, goodbye."

The eldest lady did not say a word and left with her family.

Guo Wanhua had endured the humiliation in the Chen family for so many years, but in the end, she had to rely on her own money to earn her status.

After everyone had left, Guo Wanhua sat down and said to Chen Meilin with a tired look on her face: "Go to bed! You have to get up early tomorrow."

Chen Meilin obediently agreed and went upstairs.

"Yunhai, thank you." Guo Wanhua waved to Li Yunhai, asked him to come and sit down, and said softly, "Without you, I really couldn't muster the courage to face them."

Li Yunhai sat next to her and said, "Sister Guo, you are very powerful."

"It's also because of you that I made money in the mainland and I can stand up. I won't keep you tonight. You should go back and rest early! You must come to accompany me tomorrow."

"Okay, I know. You don't need to be overly sad." "I'm not sad, I just feel like I'm relieved from now on! Really! I'm happy, but I can't show it."

"..."

Li Yunhai called Zhuang Yong and asked him to drive over to pick him up.

Zhuang Yong was driving a Mercedes and was waiting outside. He was leaning on the car door and smoking. When he saw Li Yunhai coming out, he came forward to greet him.

Li Yunhai asked him if he had seen his friends?
Zhuang Yong said that we met. My friends who used to box together are still boxing. I chatted with them all night.

Li Yunhai asked if it is profitable to engage in underground boxing in Xiangjiang?

Zhuang Yong said that it seems to be very profitable, but the money earned is only enough to treat injuries and illnesses. But they only have brute strength and only know how to box. There seems to be no better way out. They can't go to the dock to carry bags. ?

When I got back to my residence, it was already late at night.

Li Yunhai saw that the paint on the corridor was still there, and the mahjong players stopped playing.

He looked at the next door and thought that the nasty guy had probably gone out to hide from his debt.

In the next two days, Guo Wanhua had to deal with the funeral, and Li Yunhai stayed with her.

People in Hong Kong generally choose to hold funerals in funeral parlors or directly from the mortuary.Due to the busy daily lives of people in Hong Kong, funeral procedures are generally simpler than in other areas. Funeral preparations are usually left to the funeral professionals, which takes two to three days.Regardless of whether you have money or not, there are only a few ceremonies including setting up the spirit, enclosing the body, enclosing the body, funeral and burial.The biggest difference is the different identities of the eight people supporting Ling, and the different burial places.Xiangjiang cemeteries are more expensive than houses. Tens of thousands of people die every year. Luxurious cemeteries and cemeteries are in short supply. Ordinary people can only buy ashes niches in temples.

Rich men like Chen Wanzhao spent a lot of money to buy a cemetery for themselves during their lifetime.

As Guo Wanhua's cousin, Li Yunhai sent a gift and received a gift in return, also called Jiyi.

Jiyi is a white envelope with a red note in the middle. The word Jiyi is written in blue letters on the note. Inside is a white towel, a candy and a one-yuan coin to express gratitude to those who came to express their condolences. Relatives and friends.The purpose of white towels is to wipe the tears of guests. People who are not very particular will use white paper instead.

Guo Wanhua told Li Yunhai in a low voice: "You have to eat the candy. If you don't like it, lick it and throw it away. This is a custom in Xiangjiang. You use candy to ease the grief of the funeral participants. You must use this dollar that day." Drop it, otherwise it will bring bad luck."

Li Yunhai was startled and thought, wouldn't this be harmful to me?Fortunately, Sister Guo told me in time, otherwise how would I know this?

He took out the candy, put it in his mouth, and then spit it out.

As for the one dollar coin, he spent it on buying newspapers.

The funeral is over.

Guo Wanhua used her own money to buy two other villas and two apartments owned by the Chen family, as well as two luxury cars.

"Yunhai, there are two villas, one for each of you and me, and two Rolls-Royces, one for you and one for Meilin."

"Sister Guo, I don't need it. If I want something, I can buy it myself."

"You have helped me so much. I have always wanted to thank you. Material things are the most real thing, so don't shirk it. The house is in Xiangjiang, and you can live there in the future. The car is put in the name of Haihua Company, and you can also Driving to the mainland, you are now a billionaire, and having a Rolls-Royce to drive around will better highlight your status. In many places, cars are recognized but not people."

This is true.

Li Yunhai can deposit the money he earns from overseas in an offshore account in Xiangjiang, and then return to the mainland to invest as the president of Xiangjiang Haihua Company. That is really a green light!You can also gain more convenience and respect.

And a Rolls-Royce luxury car with license plates from Hong Kong and Guangdong can give him a distinguished status, which he cannot experience in the mainland for the time being.

Li Yunhai silently accepted Guo Wanhua's gift.

These properties belong to the inheritance and have to wait for the court's decision before they can actually own them.

Before that, Guo Wanhua still lived in the Chen family's large villa.

Li Yunhai still went back to his apartment in Causeway Bay.

This afternoon, Li Yunhai returned to his residence.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw the door of the house next door open, and there were shouts and crying coming from inside.

Li Yunhai took a closer look and saw a few tattooed men bullying Wu Wenfang.

As soon as Wu Wenfang saw Li Yunhai, she rushed over and shouted: "Save me! They want to capture me and sell me!"

Li Yunhai frowned.

Wu Wenfang knelt on the ground, hugging Li Yunhai's thigh, her eyes were red from crying, and tears flowed down like broken beads: "Please, help me!"

That Huang Mao last time pointed at Li Yunhai and said: "Boy, stay out of your own business! Get out of here!"

Li Yunhai originally didn't want to meddle in this nosy matter, but when he heard what the other party said, he couldn't help but get angry and said: "What you do is illegal!"

"Is it illegal? If I don't pay back the money I owe, is it illegal?"

"She owes you money, just give her time, and she can go out to work and earn money to pay you back!"

"Yes, we are going to take her out to work now to make money!" Huang Mao and others showed lewd smiles.

Wu Wenfang shouted: "I won't go! I won't go! They want to arrest me and sell me!"

Huang Mao and others reached out to catch Wu Wenfang.

Li Yunhai asked: "Wait a minute, how much does she owe you?"

"5!" Huang Mao stretched out a slap.

Wu Wenfang shouted: "It's obviously only [-]! How did it become [-]?"

"Small trumpet, you don't need interest? With interest and compound interest, it's 5! If you delay it any longer, it'll be [-]!"

Li Yunhai snorted coldly: "I thought how much it was! Isn't it just 5 yuan? As for arresting people and selling them?"

Huang Mao said sinisterly: "Boy, do you think 5 yuan is not much? If you have money, just pay for her, and I will sell her to you! This girl looks so good, and she is an original product ! You can sell it for tens of thousands of yuan no matter how you sell it! 5 yuan is a bargain for you!"

Li Yunhai was stunned.

Wu Wenfang trembled and cried like an animal: "Sir, please do a good job. If you have money, lend it to me first, and I will pay it back to you in the future."

Li Yunhai glanced at her: "What do you want in return?"

Wu Wenfang bit her lip and said: "I, I will participate in this year's Miss Hong Kong election. If I win the award, I will have money to pay you back."

"Miss Hong Kong? You? Dream on!" Li Yunhai shook his head, "You will be rejected in the first round of auditions!"

"How is this possible? I'm so beautiful. I'm prettier than those Hong Kong girls before! As long as I participate, I can at least be in the top three!"

"Who gave you the courage? You can actually say such things!"

"Sir, can I beg you? Can I be your nanny?"

Li Yunhai thought for a while, opened his briefcase, counted out 50 Hong Kong dollars worth 1000 yuan, threw it on Huang Mao, and said, "It's all clear! Get out of here!"

Huang Mao held the money in his hands, counted it, and said with a laugh: "If you have money, it's easy to talk! Xiaoxiao, you have such a good kid, welcome your dad to come to our place to play more in the future! Hahaha!"

Li Yunhai stopped them: "Hey, clean up these paints!"

Huang Mao dropped a piece of money and said, "Hire someone to do the cleaning yourself!"

After saying that, they walked away.

Li Yunhai kicked Wu Wenfang: "Why don't you get up?"

Wu Wenfang wiped her eyes and stood up, saying, "Thank you, you are such a good person. I will definitely repay you."

"Remember, you owe me fifty thousand, give me a receipt later. Also, wipe off the paint."

"How do I wipe this?"

"You are so thick-skinned, just use your face to wipe it off!"

"what?"
