The scorching afternoon sun fills the land, bringing an incomparably warm and warm atmosphere. At this moment, a gentle breeze swept by, and the fluttering leaves danced in an instant, like a butterfly dancing gracefully in the air. At this moment, Hou Zan sat quietly in the corner of his yard, gently playing with an old and dilapidated paper-cutting villain in his hand, with deep exhaustion and sadness in his eyes.
This handmade paper-cut figure is the precious memory of Hou Zhan's childhood. At that time, his father Hou Yaowen once looked at this gift and smiled, feeling that it was as clever and cute as herself.
However, time flies, and what is helpless is that the deep longing still remains in my heart. The role of Hou Yaowen, a generation of cross talk masters, is not only reflected in the pursuit of cross talk art, but also shows his humorous and elegant and humble personality.
His death brought an abrupt end to the glory of a cross talk family, and also ended the deep master-apprentice friendship between him and his disciple Guo Degang. And the source of all disputes is the controversy over the distribution of inheritance.
Hou Zhan, who lost his mother's love since he was a child, has never experienced the care and companionship given by his father Hou Yaowen. As a master of cross talk, Hou Yaowen has a heavy responsibility, spending most of his time in busy performances, and rarely has the opportunity to return home to spend quality time with his daughter.
In Hou Zhan's memory, her relationship with her father seems to be separated by a thick barrier, and there is almost no deep emotional connection.
Whenever he saw other children playing and playing in the company of his father, Hou Zhan's heart swelled with endless envy and jealousy. She longs for her father's love and attention, but Hou Yaowen seems to have forgotten her in the corner and turned a blind eye to her needs.
Hou Zhan began to be suspicious of his father, unable to understand why he was treated so coldly. The resentment in my heart grows like weeds, and the bond of family affection is gradually severed.
Even in the days that followed, Hou Yaowen finally realized his negligence for his daughter and tried to repair this broken family relationship, but Hou Zan chose to ignore it and was cold to him. In the depths of her immature heart, she had long since rejected this strange father.
Just when the relationship between father and daughter was about to take a turn for the better, fate played a cruel joke. On a sunny day in 2007, Hou Chan carefully selected a pair of comfortable shoes and prepared to give them to his father, Hou Yaowen, hoping to make up for years of estrangement.
However, just when the shoes were not delivered to his father, Hou Yaowen passed away due to a sudden myocardial infarction and could no longer receive this affectionate gift with his own hands.
At the funeral after his father's death, Hou Zhan was like suffering a huge blow, his heart-wrenching wails poured like rain, tears flowed down his face, and he even fainted several times due to excessive grief. Not only that, but even Guo Degang, the apprentice whom Hou Yaowen admired and carefully cultivated, was also immersed in endless mourning at the moment, he could barely maintain a standing posture, and the pain was moving.
As two close relatives with a deep relationship between master and apprentice, they are both suffering the same heavy blow from the loss of their loved ones at this moment.
Although Hou Yaowen accumulated a lot of wealth during his lifetime, he did not leave any will on the distribution of property, which undoubtedly buried a hidden danger for the entire family that was difficult to resolve.
Soon after the funeral, Hou Zan received summons from the court one after another, requiring him and his sister Niuniu to share a high loan on the property in his father's estate.
As the first heir, Hou Zan had no idea about his father's property status, and even the donations received at the funeral were misappropriated and his whereabouts are unknown. It wasn't until later that the truth of the matter finally came out - it turned out that all this was caused by the second uncle Hou Yaohua disposing of the inheritance without authorization.
Hou Zhan, who learned the truth, was furious and decided to join forces with his sister Niuniu to sue his second uncle Hou Yaohua, his friend Niu Zhicheng and Guo Xiaoxiao and his wife in court, demanding a fair distribution of the inheritance. In the face of the accusations, Hou Yaohua defended that he used the funds solely to pay off debts, and he always believed that women should not inherit the family business, so he firmly opposed allowing outsiders to meddle in the matter.
Niu Zhicheng claimed that the reason why he withdrew these funds was entirely out of consideration for Hou Yaowen's debts. As a result, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle in the court that lasted for several years, during which Guo Degang stepped forward and bought the property in the estate for far more than the market value, thus helping Hou Zan tide over the difficulties.
In order to fight for the inheritance, the two sides fought in court, attacked each other, and did everything in their power to defend their rights and interests. Hou Zan argues that the wealth accumulated by Hou Yaowen during his lifetime is the result of his decades of hard work in the cross talk industry, and should be distributed to his children fairly and reasonably, and cannot be disposed of by anyone without authorization.
On the other hand, they vigorously defended the creditor-debtor relationship between Hou Yaowen during his lifetime, insisting that the use of the inheritance to repay debts was a legitimate and necessary act.
For this reason, the two sides have been-for-tat in court, constantly using various evidentiary materials to refute and refute each other's views. The atmosphere was tense like a powder keg on the verge of exploding, as if a violent physical altercation could be triggered at any moment.
As the plaintiff, Hou Zhan, although she was estranged from her father when she was a child, she always cherished the father-daughter affection in her heart, and refused to let others trample on her father's hard work. On the other hand, Hou Yaohua and other relevant people, who are the defendants, are also resolutely unwilling to admit that there is any impropriety in Hou Yaowen's behavior before his death, and they are stubborn and firmly believe that their position is indisputable.
The two sides engaged in heated debates in court, legal weapons collided with sparks in the air, circumstantial evidence was like a mountain, words were sharp, and the atmosphere was suffocatingly tense, and no one was willing to compromise easily.
After several months of trial, the witness finally came up with a crucial piece of evidence - that is, a photo of Mr. Hou's nails before his death. This photo clearly records Hou Yaowen's body language during his lifetime, and unmistakably reveals that he did not give all the inheritance to his second brother Hou Yaohua, but hoped that it could be distributed to his children fairly and reasonably.
At first, Hou Yaohua questioned the authenticity of this evidence. However, as the case deepened, more and more evidence showed that the person in the photo was indeed Hou Yaowen himself, and they were speechless and had to reluctantly accept this cruel reality.
After nearly three years of tug-of-war, the two sides finally reached a reconciliation, and this protracted dispute finally ushered in the dawn of an end. With tears in their eyes, they hugged each other tightly, and the estrangement between them was dissolved, promising to work together in the future to ensure that the inheritance was distributed fairly. However, at the climax of this dispute, people could not believe that Mr. Hou's body had not been buried and had been lying quietly in the mourning hall.
Because the relationship between the two sisters and the Hou family was quite estranged, the Hou family did not invite Guo Degang to attend Hou Yaowen's funeral, which made this proud disciple deeply sad. Just when the relationship between the two parties was on the verge of breaking down, Hou Zan unexpectedly learned of a past that shocked her. It turned out that when her life was dying, her father Hou Yaowen, whom she had never met, secretly went to the hospital to visit her, and left an affectionate letter of remembrance on the bench outside the ward.
It turned out that on that special day, an inexplicable uneasiness surged in the busy Hou Yaowen's heart, and he tossed and turned all night, feeling that something important seemed to be about to happen.
With the enthusiastic help of his friends, when he learned that his eldest daughter Hou Zan was seriously ill and lying on the sickbed, his heart was full of deep worry and concern, in order not to disturb his daughter's recuperation, he quietly rushed to the hospital alone to visit, and only wanted to quietly guard his daughter's side.
He spent a long night on a bench outside the ward, holding a pen in his hand, and wrote a touching letter to his family with deep affection, looking forward to his daughter waking up to feel this deep love and care. The next morning, when Hou Zan woke up from her slumber and opened the door, she saw her father waiting outside the door, and her tired but loving eyes made her burst into tears.
The nurse gently told her, "Your family has been waiting outside the door for a long time, and they didn't come in because they were afraid it would disturb your rest." Hearing these words, Hou Zhan's tears could no longer be controlled, and they slid down like beads of broken threads.
This affectionate call seemed to penetrate layers of obstacles and go straight to the depths of Hou Yaowen's heart. Awakened by this sudden voice, he looked at his tearful daughter in front of him, as if he was in a dream, unable to distinguish between reality and dreams.
In this way, the once broken father-daughter relationship finally ushered in the opportunity to reunite, and they will face the challenges of the future together and tide over the difficulties together.
