In the solemn courtroom in June 2010, Ms. Hou Zhan, dressed in a black professional attire, attended as the plaintiff's representative, and her expression was extremely serious, as if she was ready to go all out and fight to the death.
On the other hand, the defense also showed no weakness, and the two sides engaged in heated debates on many key issues of Hou Yaowen's legacy.
As the trial progressed, Ms. Hou Zhan's expression became more and more cold, as if she had made up her mind to protect her rights and interests no matter what the cost.
However, at this critical moment, the defense suddenly invited a witness, Chen Hui, who claimed to be the godson of Mr. Hou Yaowen and had a deep relationship with the Hou family.
Chen Hui took out a photo and showed it to Ms. Hou Zhan: "This is the most cherished photo of Mr. Hou Yaowen, and it is also the moment of his first public appearance."
The moment Ms. Hou Zhan saw this photo, she could no longer suppress her inner emotions, and tears slid down her face like rain. This precious photograph awakens her endless longing for her late father, who has been influenced by others since childhood, and developed a deep resentment towards his long-absent father, who died only three years later after a brief reconciliation with him in 2004, and the relationship between the two has not yet been fully repaired.
As soon as the photo appeared, the pain of the past came to my heart like a tide, and everyone present was moved. In the dock, defendant Niu Zhicheng looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh, with tears flashing in his eyes.
At this moment, they finally deeply realized that the power of family affection far exceeds that of money, and it is a priceless treasure that money cannot measure.
This inheritance dispute case in which the niece sued the second uncle can be traced back to the day of Double 11 in 2008. On that day, Hou Zan was shocked to find that the rose garden that her father had borrowed money to buy had been looted, and she was completely unaware of it.
It turned out that Hou Yaowen had borrowed more than 700,000 yuan from the bank before his death to buy a rose garden. However, he unfortunately passed away and the loan was not repaid, so the creditors took the first heir of the estate, Hou Zhan, to court, demanding that she immediately repay the outstanding loan.
Just when Hou Zan was in a dilemma, Guo Xiaoxiao also intervened, claiming that he had paid for the purchase of a "Ma 6" car for Hou Zan and filed a lawsuit with the court, demanding that Hou Zan repay the arrears.
Just think, how can Hou Zhan, who is just a weak and slender woman, be able to accumulate such an amazing wealth? If she had the opportunity to give up chasing those so-called inheritances, how could these heavy debts push her into the abyss of despair?
Back at the end of 2006, in order to express his deep respect for his father Hou Yaowen, Hou Zan specially purchased a pair of exquisite cloth shoes. She is full of anticipation and plans to dedicate this friendship to her dear father at the birthday celebration that her father has carefully planned for her.
However, when Hou Zan was about to usher in an important turning point in his life at the age of 27, Hou Yaowen passed away ahead of schedule, and he couldn't witness the affection and kindness that his beloved daughter paid for him.
In order to repay those heavy debts, Hou Zan had no choice but to resort to the second uncle Hou Yaohua, Niu Zhicheng and Guo Xiaoxiao and his wife, asking the court to divide his father's estate in accordance with the law.
This decision puts her in an unprecedented predicament, and her family affection seems to be fragile under the great temptation of money.
After an in-depth and meticulous investigation, Hou Zan was surprised to find that his half-sister Hou Yishan was also an innocent victim in this inheritance battle.
So, the two sisters decided to work together to bring the real culprit, Hou Yaohua and others, to court to seek justice for their father.
In this way, a fierce lawsuit over Hou Yaowen's legacy officially began, which lasted for four years. This incident has caused an uproar in the online world, and people have begun to reflect on how family affection should be adhered to in the face of interests.
Even Hou Yaohua's son Hou Jun publicly stated: "There has never been any conflict between me and my sister, and I once swore in front of my third uncle's coffin that as long as Hou Zan needs my help, I will do my best."
It can be seen that this lawsuit has seriously damaged the harmonious relationship between the relatives of the Hou family, in short, no matter what the final victory or defeat is, the family relationship has undoubtedly suffered a heavy blow in this dispute.
However, at this critical moment, Hou Yaowen's righteous son Chen Hui became a key figure in resolving the conflict. The shocking photo of Hou Yaowen cutting his nails that he displayed in court awakened the deep thinking of family affection in the hearts of everyone present, and finally led to the settlement of the dispute outside the court.
March 23, 2011 is a day that we will always remember. In the family cemetery of Changping Tianshou Cemetery, Hou Zan held the ashes of his father Hou Yaowen in his arms and personally held a solemn burial ceremony for him.
It was a solemn and solemn ceremony, symbolizing the abrupt end of the feud that had plagued her for four years and had even evolved into a family embankment.
After years of estrangement and inner struggle, at this moment, she is able to look at problems from an adult perspective and fully understand her father's mistakes and regrets.
At the solemn ceremony, Hou Zan and his uncle Hou Yaohua hugged each other tightly, tears falling like rain. They are like two people who have just woken up from their misadventures, and they deeply realize that neither wealth nor power can replace the value of sincere love and affection between family members.
The father, daughter, brothers and sisters who have gone through vicissitudes of life found the warmth of home at this moment. In the end, the power of family affection triumphed over all the distractions that money brings.
Recalling that Hou Yaowen confided in Hou Chan before his death, he planned to buy her a dream car as a birthday present on her 27th birthday.
Although this wish did not come true, Hou Zan received a generous gift from her uncle - a brand new "Ma 6" car, which became the fulfillment of her unfulfilled wish with her father.
At this solemn moment, all grievances are thrown out of the clouds. The affection between father and daughter, brother and sister, has once again become more precious than diamonds.
Although the battle for the inheritance has come to an end, the rift between the two has not been completely overcome. Since childhood, Hou Zan has been filled with deep resentment and doubts about his long-absent father, a wound that is as difficult to heal as an ulcer is destined to take a long time to repair.
Once, on a drunken night, Hou Yaowen held a photo of his daughter Hou Zan in his hand, shed tears sadly, and whispered: "My daughter doesn't recognize me anymore, my father is really a failure."
Relatives and friends present at the time came forward to comfort and persuade him, telling him that his daughter would definitely understand his distress when she grew up.
However, Hou Yaowen has no confidence in this, and the only thing he can do is to beg his disciples, relatives and friends to take more care of Hou Zhan: "Zhan Zhan doesn't seem to want to approach me, and I, as an artist and wear many hats, I really can't give her enough attention."
After going through the passage of time, Hou Zan finally deeply felt the helpless situation faced by his father, who was an outstanding cross talk artist.
He couldn't escape his highly stressful work environment, which often led to his lack of balance between career and family.
As a mature woman, she tries to look at her father with a deeper understanding and a broader mind, rather than portraying him as a cold-blooded and ruthless "demon".
In this process, as time passes, the estrangement between their father and daughter gradually disappears, and the pain of the past is slowly healing. In their place, there is a deep understanding, tolerance and consideration for each other, as well as the warmth of that regained family affection.
This father and daughter, who have experienced separation and reunion, finally regained that family support in the final stage of their lives. But once again, fate played a cruel joke on them.
When Hou Zan was waiting with anticipation to celebrate her father's birthday together, she didn't know that late at night on June 23, she suddenly received the sad news of her father's death.
Only three years later, they were separated again, and the deep friendship that had been picked up could no longer be fully expressed.
Hou Zhan's heart is filled with endless grief, and she and her father have been estranged for more than 20 years, and it has only been alleviated in the past three years. Now, this short time of family affection has been cut off, and she can no longer fill those two deep regrets.
Recalling that at the end of 2006, Hou Zan had specially purchased a pair of delicate old cloth shoes for her filial father, and planned to personally dedicate this deep affection to her father on the day of his father's birthday surprise carefully planned for her.
However, fate is impermanent, Hou Yaowen passed away before Hou Zhan's birthday, and he couldn't see his daughter's sincere heart with his own eyes. In the end, the cloth shoes could only be quietly placed next to the portrait of his father, becoming an irreparable regret.
Another regret is that Hou Zan heard from others that Hou Yaowen had repeatedly revealed to relatives and friends that he planned to give her a long-awaited car on her 27th birthday.
However, this good wish could not be realized after all.
Despite this, after her father's death, Hou Zan still received a gift from her uncle - a brand new "Ma 6" car, which became the spiritual sustenance between her and her father.
