Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 34: Disruption of social order?

Lu Qiaoge glanced at Secretary Liu, but had to admit that there was actually something wrong with what he said.

She got a book about current laws from Director He, and she has read it from beginning to end.

The current law does not clearly define inheritance rights. According to historical trends, the relevant legal provisions were not promulgated until 1985. Currently, children's inheritance of their parents' property mainly relies on traditional customs, grassroots mediation and sporadic legal principles.

The core of the Marriage Law promulgated in 1950 was to abolish old systems such as arranged marriages, concubinage, and child brides. The regulations on property relations were relatively brief because children's property rights were not the focus of legislation.

In practice, it is mainly based on traditional customs. For example, as Shao Le said just now, he and his elder brother can fully divide their parents' real estate and property.

But his two sisters lost the right to share the family property because they were already married.

Although we have been advocating for gender equality, the process of actually implementing it is very long.

Just at this moment, a familiar voice came: [Little fairy, I finally found you, hehe.]

Lu Qiaoge hurriedly looked to the side and saw a tabby cat squatting on a tree not far away.

Because only the tabby cat likes to call her little fairy or little master.

Other creatures called her by her full name.

Lu Qiaoge whispered to it in his heart: "I'm working, it's a bit messy here, go play somewhere else."

The tabby cat stood up and pointed at an old black cat squatting on the windowsill of the balcony next door. He said to Lu Qiaoge, "Do you see that old black cat? It's crying. It used to be Zhou Li's mother's cat. Master Zhou also liked it. But after Master Zhou died, Luo Guixiang kicked the old black cat out. Because the old black cat refused to leave, Luo Guixiang's son broke its legs. Now the old black cat mostly stays in the boiler room."

It seemed as if the surrounding aura had been activated, and Lu Qiaoge suddenly heard the old black cat's voice at this moment.

[Little Master, please don't die. Your mother left something for you. Wuuwuwu...]

Lu Qiaoge's eyes darkened. He left something behind. Where was it?

My eyes fell on Master Zhou’s house on the first floor. Could the thing be in the room?
It's really lively now.

Secretary Liu naturally didn't know there was such a secret. He quickly said, "I'm not wrong. I'm telling you according to the relevant regulations."

Zhou Li saw so many people laughing at her. She hadn't had a good rest since she came back. She and her husband and children stayed at Aunt Sun's house. Luo Guixiang didn't even let her step into the room.

She opened the medicine bottle and stared at Luo Guixiang intently: "Luo, you are a vicious woman with a scorpion heart. If I die, it is because of you!"

The mute man suddenly knelt on the ground holding the child. The child was frightened and burst into tears. The scene was a little chaotic for a while.

Lu Qiaoge mentally called out to the tabby cat watching the fun, "Go tell the old black cat to find a chance to pounce and knock the medicine bottle out of Zhou Li's hand."

At this time, Lu Qiaoge could not communicate with the old black cat and could only do so through Huahua.

The crowd was noisy and no one paid attention to the sudden meowing sound, nor did anyone pay attention to the old black cat's sudden angry look.

Secretary Liu shouted anxiously: "Don't do anything stupid, we can discuss this matter."

Then, looking at the indifferent Luo Guixiang, he jumped up and shouted, "Old Luo, why don't you say a few words? After all, Zhou Li is also Master Zhou's daughter."

Luo Guixiang said slowly: "What do you want me to say? Isn't it like this in our compound? How can a married woman go back to her parents' home? Even if my daughter is married, doesn't she have to go to her husband's home? If you ask me, the problem lies with Zhou Li's husband. Since Zhou Li got married locally, she should live locally. Why did she go back to the city? I really don't understand."

Secretary Liu glared at him and said, "Lao Luo, why do you talk like that?"

Luo Guixiang asked back, "Am I wrong?"

Someone in the crowd chimed in. "We're short on housing right now. If all the married women come back, it'll be chaos."

"Yes, yes, that's the truth. Isn't this disrupting the moral code?"

Zhou Li was filled with shame and anger. She and her husband were together by accident. Her husband was an adopted son, and her mother-in-law and her family treated them like slaves. Her two-year-old son was almost sold by the old lady. She only thought of returning to the city because she had no other way to make a living.

Things have already fallen out in the countryside, and she might as well die than go back in such disgrace.

It would be better if she died. She could ask her biological father why he gave her a cruel stepmother and forced her into having no way out.
She raised the bottle and was about to pour it into her mouth, and the crowd suddenly screamed, some people ran towards Zhou Li, and the mute man got up and rushed over madly.

But this time Zhou Li was not just trying to scare people, she really didn't want to live anymore.

Because Zhou Li was leaning against the wall, and because no one paid attention, she was not on guard. When Zhou Li was about to drink the medicine, even if her mute husband, who was closest to her, was fast, it was of no use.

Many people's heads are buzzing.

Secretary Liu's eyes went dark, and the fleeting thought was that it was all over.

DDT is very powerful nowadays.

Especially with such a big bottle, even if he was sent to the staff hospital immediately, he would not be able to be saved.

At this moment, the old black cat, who had just finished communicating with the tabby cat, was overjoyed. He jumped from the windowsill and pounced towards Zhou Li.

Everyone only felt a black shadow flash before their eyes, and a meowing sound rang in their ears.

Then Zhou Li, with nothing in her hands, seemed to be standing there in a daze.

The mute husband crawled over and hugged Zhou Li, his silent crying was very heartbreaking.

Zhou Li stared blankly at the old black cat who was looking up at her in the crowd.

She pushed her husband away and rushed over, and the old black cat took the opportunity to jump into her arms.

Zhou Li couldn't believe it: "Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei, aren't you dead?"

Luo Guixiang frowned uneasily, but soon stopped caring.

It’s just a cat, a beast. What difference does it make whether it’s alive or dead?
Many people in the crowd breathed a sigh of relief, and someone shouted, "Isn't this the cat Zhou Li's mother raised?"

"Oh, this cat is really smart. It saved Zhou Li."

Some old ladies wanted to say that it was the Buddha who blessed them, and some wanted to say that it was Zhou Li’s biological mother Yu Xiu who blessed her only daughter, but when they thought of the current situation, they quickly shut up.

But many people were secretly exchanging glances.

Lu Qiaoge and Secretary Liu lowered their voices and said, "Secretary Liu, I'm a woman. Can I have a few words with Zhou Li?"

Secretary Liu was stunned for a moment, then reacted and nodded hurriedly.

Lu Qiaoge walked up to Zhou Li, who was crying while holding the old black cat, and introduced herself: "Comrade Zhou, I'm a new cadre from the neighborhood office. My name is Lu Qiaoge. Can I have a few words with you?"

Zhou Li nodded slowly.

Lu Qiaoge said in a clear voice, "Comrade Zhou, Secretary Liu and Comrade Luo are right. As a married woman, you are not eligible to live in the house left by your father without Comrade Luo's consent."
