Without the interference of other relatives, the legal procedures for the will went smoothly.
After being notarized by multiple parties, Ye Fan officially inherited the Ye family's ancestral home.
Section Chief Li was entrusted by Ye Fan to go to the housing management office tomorrow to process the relevant materials. When the time comes, he will give it to Ye Fan to sign, and the Ye family's ancestral home will be under his name.
"Okay, the matter is almost settled. Mr. Ye, let's take our leave now." Lawyer Chen said with a smile.
From the beginning, he was very respectful to Ye Fan, which made Ye Fan a little baffled.
The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly.
"In that case, I won't keep you two. If you have time, please give me a favor and have a casual meal." Ye Fan shook hands with the two of them.
Lawyer Chen and Section Chief Li did not refuse. Ye Fan sent them to the door and watched them leave.
Returning to the ancestral house compound, Ye Fan walked around and murmured: "The wall of the old house is very dilapidated. Find time to repair it, raise it higher, and erect an electric fence so that other people can
There is no way to get in easily."
"Xiao Fan..."
At this time, my father and mother walked to the main hall and saw Ye Fan standing in the middle of the yard with his head bowed in deep thought, and he called softly.
"Where are your uncle and the others?"
"Already gone." Ye Fan put away his thoughts, "Dad, are you okay?"
"I feel much better after drinking a bowl of hot porridge." Dad sighed, "They didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"
"Haha, I was quite arrogant at first. They even planned to ask me to put up 20 million as a deposit, and the whole family would deposit 5 million."
Ye Fan told his parents what his uncle and others said.
My mother rolled her eyes when she heard this, "Are these people sick? Do you think our Xiaofan's money was brought by the strong wind?"
Dad remained silent and found a chair to sit down.
"Dad, what do you think about the ancestral home?" Ye Fan sat next to Ye Zhonghua and poured him a cup of hot water.
"You can make up your own mind." Dad shook his head and said that he would not interfere with Ye Fan's decision.
"Then let's repair it first and patch up some old paint and damaged areas." Ye Fan smiled, "In addition, I plan to build an electric anti-theft fence around the ancestral house."
"Okay." Dad hummed.
"Dad, if I remember correctly, most of the neighbors around my ancestral home have emigrated abroad. I want to collect some land nearby and open some woods, bamboo groves, etc., so that the ancient style of my ancestral home can be restored.
Get it out again."
Ye Fan calculated the cost and found that he still had two to three hundred million in his account. Plus the set of diamond rings he just got, he could cope with it.
More than a hundred years ago, the Ye family's ancestral home was larger. The surrounding twenty or thirty acres of land belonged to the Ye family, which was equivalent to two football fields.
In ancient times, many literati were arty. At that time, the Ye family's ancestral residence was worthy of the title of the residence of literati in terms of scale and environment.
However, due to the impact of war in modern times, only this lonely house of the Ye family was left. The other forests, lakes, and carved buildings and pavilions have all become a touch of loess, completely lost in the dust of history.
Ye Fan does not have the strength to restore the glory of the ancient house, but it is still possible to take back the surrounding ten acres of land.
Anyway, the development of Binhai has not yet fully understood the entire Xincun Township. Ye Fan talked to Guan Liuyun and asked him for help. It shouldn't be a big problem.
After hearing Ye Fan's suggestion, Ye Zhonghua suddenly changed from his previous depression.
"Okay, okay! Xiaofan, good boy! If you do this, your grandpa will definitely be proud!"
Ye Zhonghua's eyes suddenly brightened, "When I die in the earth, I will have the nerve to meet the ancestors of our Ye family!"
"Dad, look what you said!" Ye Fan smiled helplessly.
"It's getting late today. You should go to bed early. Let's talk about this matter tomorrow." Ye Zhonghua became excited.
The renovation of his ancestral home diverted his attention and brought him out of his sad mood.
My mother felt a little distressed, "Silly boy, you are really willing to spend a lot of money just to make your father happy! The land in Xincun Township is not cheap, plus Gaolin Garden, the money you earn is not enough..."
"Mom, don't worry." Ye Fan chuckled, "As long as my dad is happy, I can make more money if I don't have it!"
Dad came back to his senses and immediately frowned, "Xiaofan, acquiring land and building a garden are not cheap. I estimate it will cost tens of millions!"
"Old man, are tens of millions enough?" My mother gave him a rolling look.
"I read the news two days ago. Other towns and villages in Zongming Island were requisitioning land. A nursing home of 20 to 30 acres was bid for two to three hundred million!
If you asked Xiaofan to take over ten acres of land around him, it would cost at least 100 million, right?
In addition to building a forest garden, planting some flowers and plants, and providing you with small lakes and streams, can it be done without a few hundred million?"
Dad was frightened and murmured: "Do you want... so much?"
"Dad, just wash it, no problem!" Ye Fan laughed, "I still have some money in my hand, I should be able to buy the surrounding land.
As for the work of transforming the forest garden, I will find someone else to arrange it to ensure that we can do the best job without spending too much money!"
"Xiaofan, it's not easy for you to make some money..." Ye Zhonghua was very embarrassed.
"Dad, it's useless for me to keep it!" Ye Fan chuckled, "Just treat me as an investment! If the business fails in the future, I will still have ten acres of land, right?"
"Don't force it." Ye Zhonghua advised, "If it doesn't work, forget it. Let's just plant some flowers and grass in the yard."
"Oh, now the ancestral home is mine, I can do with it whatever I want."
Ye Fan shook his head and smiled bitterly, then changed the subject: "However, I don't have that much time to study the design of the forest garden with the engineers.
Dad, when the time comes, it will be up to you to keep an eye on the ancestral home."
Ever since my mother recovered from her illness, my father has been free at home.
In the past, Ye Fan had a lot of debt. He was busy every day, making money to pay off debts and support his family. Although he was tired and stressed, he lived a fulfilling life.
But now, Ye Fan sends tens of thousands of dollars to his family every once in a while. He and his mother have pensions of their own, and they live a leisurely and comfortable life.
However, his father had been standing all his life and suddenly he was asked to lie down every day. He was really not used to it.
Now that Ye Fan had given him the work of the forest garden outside his ancestral home, he was so happy that he was gearing up and eager to use up all his strength.
Seeing that his father was a little too excited, Ye Fan quickly said: "Dad, I asked you to take charge of this work, but you can't go down to help. When the engineering team finds it, you can just stand by and give advice to the engineer."
"Why?" Dad was puzzled, "The garden is yours, why can't I go down and help?"
"Dad, please, please don't do it yourself. Not to mention you are old and don't have the strength!
I have managed to survive till today. I dare not say that I am too famous in Binhai, but I can be considered a respectable person in the industry.
If others find out tomorrow that my biological father is working at the construction site... Haha, it will be hard to take off my unfilial hat!
Dad, can you just think about my face and reputation?"
"Yes, Xiaofan is a person with status now, don't embarrass him!"
My mother also tried to persuade me again and again: "Besides, as a teacher, how can you compare with those who do things? It's better not to interfere randomly, so as not to be a hindrance to others."
"Okay, okay."
Dad weighed his ability and agreed.
"Xiaofan, it's getting late. I'll clean up your room for you. You go to bed early." My mother walked to the backyard with a smile.
Dad also followed and greeted Ye Fan, "Xiao Fan, you are the head of the Ye family. From now on, you can live in your grandfather's room."
"Me?" Ye Fan was stunned, "Grandpa just passed away. Isn't it good for me to live in it?"
"This is the rule!"
Among the five brothers and sisters, Ye Zhonghua has the most similar personality to his grandfather, except that he is not as rigid as his grandfather.
As for the rules of the Ye family, Ye Zhonghua will naturally inherit them unswervingly.
Ye Fan saw that his father was resolute and couldn't refuse anymore, so he followed him and started to strike.
Grandpa's room and study room are closely connected. It is full of antique solid wood furniture, and books fill the entire wall cabinet.
Ye Fan stood in front of the bookcase and picked up a book at random, which was at least several decades old.
Each book is wrapped in a cover, which protects it completely.
However, the pages in the book were very old, and Ye Fan had to be careful, otherwise he would easily scratch them.
Opposite the bookcase is a hollow wooden wall with many ancient porcelains placed on it.
These gadgets are all modern imitations. Grandpa's character is very conservative, and it is impossible to leave genuine products in such a place that can be easily broken.
Ye Fan walked around the room and was suddenly attracted by a copybook behind the desk.
This copybook is hung on the edge of the wall. It is 1.5 meters long and is an authentic work left by our ancestors.
Although it is not a treasure, it is still an antique.
The copybook contains eight ancient Chinese characters: "Outside there is heaven and earth, and inside there is heaven and earth!"
In the corner of the copybook are the seals of successive Ye family heads, which have been passed down for more than a dozen generations and have lasted more than two hundred years!
Ye Fan felt a little weird.
Logically speaking, the ancestors left a lot of authentic writings. After that, most of the family owners became bitches, but this copybook was stamped by everyone!
Could it be that this calligraphy is an heirloom of the Ye family?
"No, no, my ancestor was the first Jinshi in my Ye family. If he wants to leave a family heirloom, he shouldn't just leave a piece of writing on it!"
Ye Fan clicked his tongue a few times and couldn't figure out the reason, so he jumped forward, took off the copybook, and planned to read it carefully.
Unexpectedly, when I took off the copybook, a conspicuous square crack appeared behind the copybook.
"Um?"
Ye Fan was stunned, quickly put the copybook on the desk, jumped up again, and tapped lightly on the square.
This was a movable living brick. Ye Fan pressed it and quickly sank in.
Immediately afterwards, the wall cabinet with ancient books moved slowly, and one corner of the wall flipped inward, revealing a thirty centimeter gap.
"Is there a universe within?"
Ye Fan exclaimed, and his heart jumped suddenly.
"Could it be that this is the real heirloom of our Ye family? Or is it other treasures collected by our Ye family in ancient times?"
Suddenly, Ye Fan became interested and got into the gap sideways.
