Chapter 140 A Miserable End
"Yes," Gu Rou said.
Ye Tang came up with an idea. "That makes things much easier. Don't worry, I'm confident I can get them to agree immediately."
Early the next morning.
Ye Tang wrapped Wang Bin's ashes in a piece of red cloth.
They went directly to see the Wang family.
This was the first time she had met Wang Bin's widowed mother.
But there are quite a few members of the Wang family.
Most of them were from his mother's side of the family, including a large number of cousins.
"Send someone over to talk to me." Ye Tang sat down in the middle chair, handed the ashes wrapped in red cloth to Gu Lin, and said, "Find someone who keeps their word. Today, we'll settle everything about the distribution of the inheritance."
She glanced back at Cheng Yingnan and said, "Cousin, remember to provide legal documents for them to sign later, so they don't change their minds later."
"it is good."
On the Wang family's side, they saw that the person who came to negotiate was a woman.
Completely disregarding them, he sneered, "Is your Gu family short of people? Sending a woman to negotiate, don't accuse us of bullying you later."
I don't know which cousin was speaking.
His attitude was somewhat arrogant.
Ye Tang was not angry; instead, she became even more calm and composed.
"If you weren't bullying people, why have you been waiting so long to let Wang Penang rest in peace? Let me tell you, Wang Penang's ghost is watching you from heaven. If you treat him like this, they will definitely come after you one by one in the dead of night."
Ye Tang's words gave several of his cousins goosebumps.
Some people are impulsive and ready to resort to violence.
"Think carefully before you act. Can you afford to pay the price?" Ye Tang said calmly, raising her chin and looking down at the crowd. "Who among you will negotiate? If you don't, we're going back to Huacheng. If you continue to act like scoundrels back in Huacheng, no one will tolerate it."
The Wang family members stared at each other in disbelief.
They looked at each other, and finally, Old Mrs. Wang slammed her hand on the table and said, "I am Bin'er's biological mother, I will talk to you."
Ye Tang nodded.
It would be best if Wang Bin's mother came to talk to him.
"Grandma, when it comes to negotiations, it's all about keeping your word. Can you really keep your promises?" Ye Tang looked her up and down uncertainly. "If you're good at not keeping your word, then there's no point in negotiating."
The old lady slammed her hand on the table, feeling that Ye Tang was insulting her. "At my age, do you think I'd go back on my word?"
"Since you keep your word, we'll record it as evidence."
Ye Tang gave her a look.
Cheng Yingnan then instructed the lawyers from his law firm who had accompanied him to immediately prepare for evidence collection.
Very formal.
It was a sight the Wang family had never seen before.
"You woman, are you trying to play some kind of trick on us?" someone complained about the camera.
Ye Tang gave him a cold glance. "You can record it too, so you don't slap yourselves in the face later."
"you……"
Negotiations begin.
The old lady made her thoughts clear: "Wang Bin is my son, and I should have four-fifths of his property. Is that too much to ask? Besides, I'm no longer able to work, so it's only natural that Gu Rou should take care of Bin'er's debts, isn't it?"
Ye Tang almost laughed.
No wonder they couldn't reach an agreement.
If this could be negotiated, it would be a miracle.
"Grandma, were you illiterate before?"
Grandma Wang was stunned for a moment, but the relatives immediately became angry. "Who are you calling illiterate? You woman, how can you be so disrespectful to your elders? What are you talking about? Throw her out!"
Ye Tang glanced indifferently at these relatives.
His gaze fell precisely on Old Madam Wang's face. "Old Madam, since you're not illiterate, how can you utter such utterly nonsensical words? You want four-fifths of Wang Pen's inheritance? Were you having a nightmare last night and talking nonsense?"
"I am Wang Bin's mother. What's wrong with wanting four-fifths? Without me, would there be Wang Bin? If I hadn't given birth to him, would he have earned so much money? Asking for four-fifths is already more than enough. Gu Rou should be content."
The old lady's face fell.
He looked completely unreasonable.
Ye Tang had expected this, so she remained calm and composed, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Oh, so that's what you think? It's not entirely unreasonable."
The old lady snorted coldly.
He turned his face to the side.
Ye Tang smiled, then changed the subject, "However... the law doesn't stipulate it that way. The spouse is the first in line to inherit, so Gu Rou can inherit at least half of Wang Bin's estate, of course..."
"...You can inherit half of your son's estate, but you should also be prepared to inherit half of his debts. After all, you don't have much ability to work anymore, and it would be quite pitiful if you ended up in a bad situation."
Ye Tang raised her eyebrows.
He spoke softly, but every word carried an undeniable power.
It is true that Wang Bin left behind a considerable estate, but he also had a lot of debts.
The old lady only wants money, not debt. How could that be?
"You vicious woman! This old lady is so old, and you want her to pay off Wang Pen's debts? Let me tell you, we don't want the debts, we just want the money."
The relatives were shouting.
It seems like their word is law.
Ye Tang glanced at the people indifferently, then looked away and focused on the old lady. "Old lady, are your relatives accomplices? Even if you get your son's inheritance, it will probably be divided up by these relatives in a few days. Tsk tsk, how pitiful."
The old lady took Ye Tang's words to heart.
He turned and glared at the people shouting, "Shut up, all of you!"
The scene fell silent again.
Ye Tang laid out Cheng Yingnan's calculated inheritance and debts in front of the old lady.
"Currently, the inheritance and debts are basically evened out. Of course, if you want four-fifths of the inheritance, you have to take four-fifths of the debts. It's your choice."
"Impossible." The old lady refused. "I can't possibly pay off his debts. He has a wife; let her pay them off."
"It seems the old lady is being unreasonable." Ye Tang slammed her hand on the table and stood up. "Since she's being unreasonable, then we'll have our own way of dealing with her."
Ye Tang ripped the red cloth off the urn that Gu Lin was holding.
The urn containing Wang Bin's portrait was laid bare before everyone.
Those relatives who were shouting the loudest couldn't help but take a half step back.
The old woman's eyes instantly welled up with tears upon seeing this. "My son, how could you leave your old mother like this? My son..."
The old lady cried and screamed as she tried to take Wang Bin's ashes, but Ye Tang stopped her.
"Madam, if you insist on taking four-fifths of Wang Penh's inheritance and not sharing the debts, then let Wang Penh come out and say whether he is willing to do this."
talking.
Ye Tang pushed open the lid of the urn and grabbed a handful of ashes from inside.
It was thrown skywards.
The grayish-white ashes fell gently, like snowflakes from the sky, onto the heads of Wang's relatives.
They couldn't escape in time, and more or less, they all got covered in a thin layer of dust.
His face was full of gloom.
But they dared not speak out, and could only beat at these unclean things while muttering curses.
Old Mrs. Wang was heartbroken to see her son's ashes scattered. "Don't scatter my son's ashes! You cruel woman..."
"Grandma, have you thought this through?" Ye Tang blew away the remaining ashes on her hand. "If you can't figure it out, let Wang Bin help you think it through, okay?"
"No, no, I don't want it anymore, I don't want it anymore..." Old Mrs. Wang was sobbing uncontrollably, "...I just want my son, I want my son..."
