Chapter 3 Before Death

When he heard Zhang Kun promised to help him go back tomorrow to complete his uneasy things, the old ghost was obviously much happier. After having dinner with Zhang Kun, the old ghost began to tell some of his things.

The old ghost was named Xu Guangliang. He died at the age of 86. He fought the Anti-Japanese War when he was young. He was considered an older generation of revolutionaries. He retired from the army a few years after the founding of New China. He relied on the part of his hometown to get a wife and lived a stable life. In the next three and five years, he gave birth to two sons.

The next 20 or 30 years have become stable. With some strength and skills, he has made a lot of money. In the 1990s, he built a house with savings, and his two sons have also gotten married. The grandchildren are one by one, which can be considered a house full of children and grandchildren. So far, Xu Guangliang was still satisfied with his first half of his life.

Unfortunately, life will always be unsatisfactory. When Xu Guangliang was old, his two sons were in their thirties and forties, and his eldest grandson was in junior high school. However, the wives of the two families began to have conflicts, and their two sons, who were originally close, became distant.

Time passed, and two thousand years later, the two sons' families were even more irrelevant. Although they lived in the same building and had more opportunities to meet each other every day, the two adults rarely shouted, and even had no smile on their faces.

Moreover, as Xu Guangliang grew older, the two families started arguing about the house issue. After all, there was only one house, and both families wanted it, and each family wanted to squeeze the other out and own one person.

The two families never thought about it. The old man was still alive, so they thought about how to divide his house after he died, and what would the old man think? Anyway, Xu Guangliang knew that he felt a pain in his heart when he heard it, and he couldn't help but think of his wife who had died for more than ten years ago.

However, after all, it was his two sons, and Xu Guangliang had no choice but to leave the house for them sooner or later. Xu Guangliang could only think about comforting himself.

This quarrel continued until after Xu Guangliang's death. After Xu Guangliang's funeral, Xu Guangliang, who had become a soul, looked at his two sons and daughter-in-law who had quarreled about the house again, and was obsessed with it, and refused to reincarnate and wandered around the world in a ghost. After hearing the news about Zhang Kun from a ghost, he came over, hoping that Zhang Kun could help solve the problem of his two sons.

After listening to the old ghost Xu Guangliang telling the detailed story, Zhang Kun smiled bitterly: "This, how do you want me to solve this problem? As the saying goes, it is difficult for a clean official to cut off a housework, and it is difficult for a clean official to cut off a clean official. What can I do, a little kid, solve it? Moreover, there is only one house in total, and both families want to occupy it all. You can't drive out a son and leave the house for the family!"

Zhang Kun thought, both of them were your sons, and the palms and backs of their hands were flesh, which was so difficult.

But without thinking, Xu Guangliang nodded affirmatively: "That's right, just drive out a son."

Zhang Kun was stunned, stunned.

However, Xu Guangliang then explained: "Actually, I still have a piece of land outside, and my family still has 200,000 yuan in savings, which is enough to build another house. I can share that piece of land with more than 200,000 yuan in savings to a son, and then leave the old house to another son, so there is no problem."

"That's so simple? Then why didn't you solve it before you die?" Zhang Kun asked immediately.

Xu Guangliang smiled bitterly and explained that the land he mentioned later was not his. Xu Guangliang actually had an older brother who participated in the Anti-Japanese War with him when he was young, but his brother was not lucky and died on the battlefield. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he retired from the army and returned home. However, Xu Guangliang found that his brother's wife had already fled with his brother's children and left his hometown.

Afterwards, Xu Guangliang took over his brother's old house and waited for his sister-in-law to return with his nephew. This time, he had been waiting for forty years. Neither his sister-in-law nor his nephew came back, and he didn't know if he died outside or had settled down again.

Two thousand years later, the government's urban reform plan cut into the old house of Brother Xu Guangliang. That time, Xu Guangliang distributed a piece of land from the government and had a house subsidy of 200,000 yuan.

However, Xu Guangliang, who was waiting for his eldest brother's son to come back, thought from the heart that this land should belong to the eldest brother's son, so he kept it hidden and did not even tell his two sons. Until he died, he heard the two wives quarrel over the house, but Xu Guangliang suddenly got to know that the eldest brother's son had not come back for so many years. Maybe he really couldn't come back or didn't come back. Instead of doing this, it would be better to give the land and 200,000 yuan to one of the sons, and the old house was divided into two or half, so that the two sons should be satisfied. Moreover, if the house is separated in the future and the two families don't meet each other, there should be no so many conflicts.

I thought it was clear, but when I thought it through, Xu Guangliang was already terminally ill and could not speak, but wanted to say it but couldn't say it, but pointed at it but couldn't do it. He couldn't explain it clearly at all, and he just died.

Therefore, Xu Guangliang's bondage to his son was kept.

After hearing this, Zhang Kun finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, if this is the case, it would not be too difficult. He just gave the two of them apart the property. However, he still had to think about a solution. People would not cherish what was too easy to get, and they would only think about getting more, so they had to plan it carefully.

After making a decision, Zhang Kun looked at Xu Guangliang and nodded: "I've agreed to this matter. Let's have a good rest tonight and we will go to Linshan County tomorrow."

...

Early the next morning, Zhang Kun rushed to the long-distance bus station early and took the bus to Linshan County. He took two buses in the middle and finally arrived at his destination before twelve o'clock.

Following Xu Guangliang's instructions, Zhang Kun took bus No. 8 to outside Xu Guangliang's house in the suburbs of the county.

After walking around, I found a store to buy a stack of burning paper, a pair of incense and candles, and three sandalwood sticks, and then walked towards Xu Guangliang's house.

Xu Guangliang's home should be considered well built around this area, with three storefronts and six floors, white ceramic tiles and stainless steel carbonized glass windows. This kind of house, let alone two families live in, even if the children of the two families grow up, after marriage, one room is enough for each person.

But even so, Xu Guangliang's two sons and daughters-in-law were still thinking about monopoly. Zhang Kun shook his head, and he really couldn't understand some people's thoughts.

In the middle of the three houses is a main hall, which is a common habit of early Chinese house construction. There was no one in the main hall, so Zhang Kun walked straight in and found Xu Guangliang's tablet in a corner. On the wall behind the tablet was a black and white photo in front of Xu Guangliang.
