Chapter Summary
The law stipulates that this money must be distributed proportionally: 50% to the brothers' wives, 20% to the old man, and the remaining 30% to their children. There’s such a big family here, who has all the time to listen to your nonsense?” The eldest son's wife is like this, but his second brother's wife isn't much better. After all, your husbands have made contributions to all of humanity, and this time they even hunted down many ferocious beasts…” The official had met many family members, in...
Although many people appeared to be weeping and wailing, Liu Ning could see that they were more concerned about the suitcase in his hand. Inside, besides some documents, were the two people's belongings. All the real money was in the account; why would they bring cash?
Looking at the current situation, Liu Ning basically understood. The person sitting in the center must be the father of the Zhang brothers. According to the information, the Zhang brothers' mother had already passed away, and their father had not remarried.
The law stipulates that this money must be distributed proportionally: 50% to the brothers' wives, 20% to the old man, and the remaining 30% to their children. If the children are minors, then the money will be kept by the brothers' wives.
Liu Ning glanced at the garrison staff next to him. Some things were announced by them; Liu Ning was only responsible for handing these things over to them. So, he wasn't the one who should be making the announcement. This official had obviously done similar things many times before.
"We are very grateful for the sacrifices made by your families. Without their support, our soldiers would not have been able to hunt ferocious beasts in the wild. Therefore, on behalf of the naval base, I would like to express our sincere apologies to everyone regarding this matter..."
The officials' words were all pre-rehearsed; although polite, they lacked any real human touch.
"Stop talking nonsense. The man is already dead. What's the point of saying all this? Tell us the real facts, let's see how much money was actually divided. But let me tell you, don't try to fool us. My old man told me, I know the approximate amount..."
Before the official could finish speaking, one of the middle-aged women started shouting. This middle-aged woman was the wife of the eldest son of the Zhang family. All she wanted now was money. As for the relationship between the two, there was nothing to say about it; it had long since faded away.
“Sister-in-law is right. What’s the point of saying all this? Do you think we should listen to this kind of talk just because someone in our family has died? We just want to know how we’re going to live our lives from now on. There’s such a big family here, who has all the time to listen to your nonsense?”
The eldest son's wife is like this, but his second brother's wife isn't much better. Seeing their faces, Liu Ning was speechless. The two Zhang brothers risked their lives to earn money in the wild, are they supporting people like this? If so, the two brothers would probably die with their eyes wide open in disbelief.
“But we have to go through the procedures one by one. After all, your husbands have made contributions to all of humanity, and this time they even hunted down many ferocious beasts…”
The official had met many family members, including many who asked for money, but he had never seen anyone like this before. Just a moment ago, they were crying and wailing, but suddenly their attention shifted to money. Even the official himself found it hard to accept.
Are the honors her husband received for dying in battle worthless in their eyes? There are also medals awarded by the naval base here. If we skip over them, how are we going to give them away?
"What did you say? A lot of ferocious beasts were hunted this time? Doesn't that mean we'll get a bigger share of the money? Just how many beasts were hunted this time? Is it more than my husband and I have saved up before?"
As soon as the official spoke, the two women had a new idea. In their eyes, the more ferocious beasts they hunted, the more money they would get.
The two Zhang brothers didn't seem to have a good life at home either. No wonder they had to go to the front lines as soon as they recovered; it was all because of the pressure they were put on by their families.
Liu Ning and Wang Fang exchanged a glance, clearly also finding it hard to believe they had such family members, but it was a fact that the two people in front of them were indeed family. As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together," and these two women, now sisters-in-law, only cared about money; they were indeed a family.
Seeing the officials who had come with his daughter-in-law pulling and tugging at each other, the old man couldn't hold back any longer. He understood a principle: don't criticize your children in front of others. He was well-mannered, but he never expected his two daughters-in-law to turn out like this. When his son was alive, his two daughters-in-law were very respectful, but today he saw no respect at all.
"You two, stop talking nonsense. They have their own procedures, so don't interrupt. If they couldn't complete these procedures, why would they have jumped to your stage first? Why can't you listen to what happened between the two of them? This is also an opportunity to educate the children and let them know that their father gave his life for the development of humanity."
The old man, leaning on his cane, looked to be over 80 years old. There were still tear stains on his face. He only had two sons. Because his two sons were warriors, the old man lived a relatively good life. But now everything was over. However, although the old man was sad, he had no regrets. His two sons died fighting against ferocious beasts, which was a very glorious death.
“I’m telling you, old man, what do you know? The dead are already dead, why should we care so much? What’s the use of listening to those things? It’ll only make us sad for nothing. The most important thing now is to hear how much money we can get.”
The eldest daughter-in-law used to be very respectful to the old man, but now she has lost that respect and even speaks with a hint of sarcasm.
“Sister-in-law is absolutely right. If we don’t plan this out properly, we’ll all be starving. Even if you’re nearing the end of your life, your grandchildren are still in school. Don’t they need money?”
These words were getting increasingly outrageous. The old man's face turned red and white with anger, and the officials beside him didn't know what to say. How could there be such a family? Now, they've truly become forgotten once they're gone.
Although the Zhang brothers hadn't been with Liu Ning for long, they were both diligent and hardworking. Seeing that these two had married such wives, Liu Ning could only shake his head helplessly. After all, it was their family matter, and they couldn't interfere too much.
"Bring it to me, let's see it ourselves!"
Before anyone could react, the two women started fighting over the item.
