Wang Yue walked them to the door, then turned around and went home, unable to hold back her tears anymore.

Wang Yue threw herself on the table and cried bitterly. The sudden death of her husband was a huge blow to her. At this time, her husband's death overwhelmed the Chinese teacher who often appeared in her mind.

After crying for a while, Wang Yue raised her head and wiped away her tears. She knew that now was not the time for her to be sad, and there were still many things waiting for her to do. So after Wang Yue stabilized her mood, she began to sort out her husband's affairs.

Although her employer had notified Wang Yue about her husband's funeral expenses and other issues, Wang Yue decided to go to her husband's place of work in person to learn about the specific situation.

So the next morning, Wang Yue put on a black cheongsam and prepared to go out. At this time, the old servant at home hurriedly came up and said: "Madam, you have not been feeling well these days, and it is raining outside.

Where are we going? Let’s go another day!”

Wang Yue shook his head and said: "I want to go to my husband's place of work to find out the specific situation. Although my employer has notified me about my husband's funeral expenses and other issues, I still have to find out! I can't just ask when others ask.

Don’t you know?”

Seeing that Wang Yue had made up his mind, the old servant stopped stopping him. But he quickly took out an umbrella and handed it to Wang Yue and said: "Madam, take this umbrella with you! It's raining heavily outside now. In addition, today

Should we go and notify the master? We just can’t do anything right now!"

Wang Yue nodded and took the umbrella and said: "Thank you! Go ahead! Then go to his mother's house. It's time to notify everyone. Please inform everyone."

Then he turned and walked out of the house. Wang Yue came to the place where her husband worked and learned that her husband had indeed accidentally fallen into the river and drowned during work. Since no one noticed that he fell into the water at the time, he was not found out until the next morning.

Discover.

Wang Yue asked when her husband would be brought back, and the answer he received was that the body was already on the way and would probably be brought back to the city tomorrow.

In addition, Wang Yue followed her husband's colleagues before his death. Although there were a lot of procedures, he was not embarrassed, and the pension and other things were quickly in Wang Yue's hands.

My friend was in a low mood and didn't realize why her husband's pension dropped so quickly, and the standard was based on the highest level.

I exchanged a few pleasantries with my husband's colleagues before his death, and finally made the preliminary plan in my mind come out. By the way, I invited the colleagues my husband had applied for to the funeral banquet.

When Wang Yue returned home, the old servant said: "Madam, your father was not at home during the day, but he left a message. I think he will be at your door tomorrow. In addition, when my mother heard the news, she fainted on the spot.

It’s over. The master’s brother spoke and said that he would bring someone to arrange the master’s affairs tomorrow!”

Wang Yue nodded to express that he understood, but did not say anything further.

The old servant said: "Madam, you have been busy all day. Whatever you want to eat, I will make it now!"

Wang Yue shook his head and said: "No need to bother, I'm not hungry yet. You can go about your business and let me sit here for a while."

The old servant said: "Yes, madam! But madam, please be prepared tomorrow. You and the master have not left a son or a half. Now that the master has gone, I am afraid that the master's funeral will not be so peaceful!"

Since learning the news that her husband had passed away, Wang Yue's brain seemed to have stopped functioning. Wang Yue did not react for a long time to what the old servant said.

Wang Yue said: "I won't be calm. What do you mean?"

The old servant said: "Madam, you and the master have no heirs. And now, the master is gone. The family relatives on the master's side will not just watch the master's property fall into your hands like this!"

Wang Yue did not know what the old servant said. The situation at home did not allow her to be exposed to these things. No matter how many books she read, they would not talk about being destitute.

Because of his hatred for modern feudal rule, Wang Yue believed that everything was bad. Now in the Republic of China, it should be different from before. He never thought that the end of his family would happen to him.

In ancient times, the term "exterminating a household" has long existed, which refers to a family without sons. However, there was no such term as "executing a household" in early laws, because both widows and daughters have the right to inherit property.

If the male head of a family dies, whether there is only a widow or a widow and an orphan, the property of the family will be inherited by the widow. However, if the widow remarries, the husband's inheritance cannot be taken away, but the dowry can be taken away.

Walk.

But starting from the Yuan Dynasty, when widows remarried, they could not take away the dowry; in addition, if the deceased husband had inherited property, for example, the deceased husband was very young when he died, and there was a grandfather and father in the family, then when the grandfather or father passed away, the widow could take his place.

The deceased husband shall share this inheritance equally with other heirs.

If both the male and female heads of a family pass away and there are no sons, then the daughter inherits the inheritance.

Daughters are divided into unmarried daughters and married daughters. To put it simply, virgin daughters have the right to inherit, but the property they can share is generally half of the son's; while the parents of a married daughter will buy a dowry. If the parents die, in addition to the married daughter,

If the parents have other sons and virgins, then the parents' inheritance will only be distributed to the sons, but not to the married daughters if they are virgins.

Because dowry is the inheritance distributed in advance by the parents to the married daughter. If the parents die and have no other children except the married daughter, then the parents' inheritance will be inherited by the married daughter.

In the second year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, a new regulation was issued on "forced nephew succession", which meant that any nephew within the fourth generation would have priority over his biological daughter in inheriting property, which was equivalent to directly depriving the daughter of the right to inherit property.

Folks also believe that daughters are people with foreign surnames - "thrown water". Seeing the benefits, clans eagerly want to divide the inheritance of "extinct households". Over time, the concept of "eating extinct households" came into being, that is, when the male head of an extinct family dies.

Later, clan relatives came to divide the property and bully the widowed daughter.

Although Wang Yue had always been a little transparent before she got married, she was not taken seriously. However, she was not criticized at all for her basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation.

After getting married, although Wang Yue's husband was not a high-ranking official, he could only be regarded as a minor official. However, due to the changes of the times, Wang Yue and her husband may not have children, so they only need to spend so much. Wang Yue has never

I have never worried about money.
