The old lady's health is not good, it is not a day or two.
Taking medicine all the year round, and getting older, this day will come sooner or later, and she must know it in her heart.
When Bai Muxuan went to see her in the morning, she couldn't recognize her grandson as usual.
But that jade bracelet was also a kind of comfort to Bai Muxuan.
"She still didn't recognize me in the end, and she couldn't remember me as a child, but she liked me in the end. Otherwise, she wouldn't have given me a bracelet, would she?"
Bai Muchuan's gaze deepened: "Yes. She has always liked you."
Bai Muxuan's face brightened, "Yes. Over there, it's here—"
Before we had time to chat, the family lounge of the funeral home arrived.
It was in a secluded house surrounded by bamboo forests, perhaps because of the cold nature of the funeral parlor, the room was very clean and refreshing, giving people a chilly feeling, before people walked in, they could feel a sense of chill. It's cold.
A funeral home worker was talking to Bai Zhenhua.
Bai Musi, Bai Lu, Zhu Xueyan, and two or three people whom Xiang Wan has never met, probably relatives of the Bai family sitting around on the sofa, discussing in low voices, probably talking about the old lady's front and back Things, one by one sigh...
As soon as Bai Muchuan and Xiang Wan entered the door, several beams of eyes looked over at him.
Cold, like a bayonet.
Xiang Wan's spine went numb, knowing that today was going to be tough.
Zhu Xueyan snorted, and was the first to say, "You still know you're back? Your grandma's 80th birthday today, don't you know?"
Bearing the brunt of the training, Bai Muchuan pointed her gun at Xiang Wan.
"For a woman, I think you are almost forgetting your last name."
Bai Muchuan glanced at her, without saying a word, he led Xiang Wan to sit on the sofa on the other side.
Bai Muxuan came over and acted as a peacemaker, explaining: "Right now, Mama Li is still cleaning up for grandma, and they will put on makeup for the old man later to modify her remains. Maybe we have to wait here for a while. Sit down first!"
The waiting process is also a tormenting process.
The two women beside Zhu Xueyan should be her natal sisters, they satirized Bai Muchuan and Xiang Wan in harmony with her, their expressions were sour and mean. Xiang Wan frowned, imitating Bai Muchuan's expression, but Bai Muxuan couldn't listen anymore.
"Mom! Can you say a few words less? How uncomfortable it is for grandma to hear?"
"Hear?" Zhu Xueyan's eyes widened, and she just wanted to turn back, probably because the funeral parlor was too shady, so she didn't dare to talk nonsense, so she just hummed heavily, "I'm just helping her teach her unworthy descendants, so what? "
Bai Muxuan sighed heavily.
Menopausal women, what can be said to work
The three women played together, seeing that Bai Zhenhua and Bai Muchuan were silent, they talked more and more vigorously, they kept feeling the old lady's way of life, how difficult it was for her in this life, and how kind she was to Bai Muchuan , but didn't get a good reward, and she didn't come at the end, saying how unfair she was to Bai Muxuan...
Xiang Wan felt uncomfortable hearing that, squeezed Bai Muchuan's hand, and whispered, "I'm going to the bathroom."
Bai Muchuan: "I'll accompany you."
Xiang Wan pinched him again, "No need. I'll be back soon."
If he went to accompany her to the bathroom, they would have to tell him that she didn't want to do this.
Xiang Wan looked at him and stood up slowly.
This is a VIP room, but there is no bathroom inside. Xiang Wan went out and left, looked around, and found that all the rooms here had pleasant and auspicious names, either Anle Hall or Yongningju...
She sighed inwardly.
In this life, a person comes naked and goes naked.
What can be left behind
Xiang Wan was a little bored, so she walked to the edge of the bamboo grove to look at the delicate yellow chrysanthemums in the flower garden, stood as long as possible, waited for her emotions to adjust, and then slowly went to the bathroom.
She passed by alone, she was silent, but accidentally heard the corner.
Two women are at the sink, talking while washing their hands.
"You don't know, our Bai family is very strange... Old lady, she controls half of the Bai family."
"How old is she, and she still manages the economic power of the Bai family?"
"Hehe, it's not like you haven't seen it before. This old lady is very shrewd. She won't trust anyone until the day she closes her eyes. The father and son in my family... are both stupid and never care about housework. They're all soldiers, so where's the time to worry about this?"
"What about his eldest sister?"
"His eldest sister? Hehe, the old lady in our family has always favored sons over daughters. His eldest sister is divorced and runs home all the year round. The advantage is that she gets some benefits. I'm afraid it's just a drop in the bucket, and I don't see how much the old lady treats her... Anyway Over the years, the old lady has pissed me off. She has said it openly and secretly. I don’t know how many times. Her things are all left to her grandson... "
"Grandson? Which grandson?"
"Which one are you talking about? Who else does she have in mind?"
"It's a bit irritating. But now that she's gone, she can control so much? That's not her own grandson, can she still divide the property of the Bai family? Besides, the first order of heirs is not your old Bai With his eldest sister?"
"That is to say, who knows if the old lady will hold back."
"You mean...?"
"Oh! Forget it, let's take a step and see!"
"I can't, my silly sister, if you don't think for yourself, you have to think for Xuanzi..."
"Then what can I do? I can still grab it!"
"Of course grab it! You have to grab it! That's not a small amount of money, don't be bored in your stomach and let people get tricked. First of all, think about it, as long as the child is not from the Bai family, no matter what, the property is a dime Money has nothing to do with it. As long as there is no his, the rest will belong to your family, and sooner or later it will belong to Xuanzi... right?"
"..."
The two women chatted and gradually walked away.
Xiang Wan walked out slowly, feeling a little heavy.
One of the people who spoke just now was Zhu Xueyan.
The old lady's bones were not cold, and they didn't feel the grief of the loss of their relatives. What they thought about was the old lady's property.
Comparing Bai Muchuan's sadness when he first heard of the old lady's death, she suddenly understood why the old lady loved Bai Muchuan so much.
Her old man is never confused!
She loves whoever loves her.
This is the normal reaction of normal people.
…
When Xiang Wan returned to the waiting room, the staff had already brought tea.
Wherever rich people go, they will receive special treatment, even funeral parlors are no exception.
They had tea and waited for about an hour before Mama Li came back.
This nanny has been with the old lady for more than ten years, so she is considered half a relative. The old lady passed by suddenly, her eyes were already red from crying, when she saw Bai Muchuan, she froze for a while, tears fell down.
"Mr. Xiaobai, you are here. Woo..."
Bai Muchuan stood up, his voice choked with sobs, "Mama Li... Where's grandma?"
Li's mother sniffed, "The makeup is ready, they are sent to the mourning hall." Li's mother sobbed again when she said this, "Mr. Xiaobai, before the old lady left, she always missed you, she always missed you. I can't bear you, I want to see you again, but you... oh, where have you been, today is her 80th birthday... "
Bai Muchuan's eyes were red, and his throat seemed to be stuffed with straw.
"I know, I'm sorry for her old man—shall we go and see her?"
"Well... we'll have to wait for a while." Mama Li wiped her eyes before thinking about her business. She turned her head to look at Bai Zhenhua, "Mr. Bai, they said that it will take about half an hour before the mourning hall is ready—"
Bai Zhenhua's face was also pale, and he nodded silently.
"Okay. Wait."
Waiting again.
Sitting beside Bai Muchuan, Mama Li glanced at Zhu Xueyan and the others on the sofa opposite, and suddenly lowered her voice, "Mr. note..."
With that said, she took out a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to Bai Muchuan.
This little move immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone looks at them.
Li Ma was a little terrified by the eyes of the Bai family. She became nervous and said awkwardly: "This is the old lady's last words. She told me to give it to Mr. Xiaobai..."
Zhu Xueyan looked at her with sharp eyes.
Bai Muchuan took it silently without saying a word.
It was an ordinary piece of white paper with a few crooked lines on it.
"I, Zhao Yuzhen, am old and sick, and I am afraid that I will die soon. In order to avoid disputes over property issues after my death, I made a special will as follows: All property under my name will be inherited by my grandson Bai Muchuan, and any other property will be inherited by my grandson Bai Muchuan. People must not interfere. Especially my son, if he fights, it is unfilial."
Simple and clear.
Signed and stamped.
However, the old lady herself is not well educated, and she is not very good at handwriting, and it is difficult to hold a pen when she is old. Just looking at these few lines, you can tell that she is struggling to write.
Strictly speaking, it is not a complete will.
But this is the old lady's last wish.
Bai Muchuan's hand tightened slightly.
It was very quiet in the lounge.
Everyone's expressions changed slightly following his pinch.
If eyes can kill people, Mama Li believes that she has been killed by them—
Zhu Xueyan said suddenly, "Mama Li, what did the old lady write?"
Li Ma cleared her throat and stammered, "It's the arrangements for her afterlife..."
Zhu Xueyan was aggressive, "What's the arrangement?"
Li's mother understood the stakes, and her face flushed a little: "She is the one who told me to leave all the inheritance to Mr. Xiaobai!"
"Nonsense!" Zhu Xueyan exploded immediately, almost jumping up from the sofa, "When did the old lady write it? She is so confused, why is she still writing a will? Isn't this a joke? Besides, all the accounts are left to the He, what about us? What about our Xuanzi? How can there be such a saying?"
Mama Li shook her head in embarrassment, "I don't know about that, anyway, that's what the old lady told me. She put it in my hands this morning and told me that when Mr. Xiaobai comes back, I will give it to him. Be sure to give it to him... "
Speaking of this, Li Ma suddenly thought of something and glanced at Bai Muxuan.
"By the way, Young Master Xuan was also there at the time. The old lady also gave Xuan Shao a bracelet. Young Master Xuan can testify..."
Zhu Xueyan turned to look at Bai Muxuan.
that look—
Anyone could see that she wanted Bai Muxuan to deny it.
Bai Muxuan was silent for a while, "Yes. I saw it. The old lady gave me the note, and asked Mama Li to give it to my second brother."
