"Heirlooms? Are you saying that your father's death may have something to do with these family heirlooms? ”

"It definitely has a relationship."

"My two brothers—or one of them—probably knew that their father had something of value in his hands, so they went after the old man."

"We need evidence, not judgment."

"If my father died unexpectedly, then the sudden death of his old man must have something to do with those things. If my father had died a normal death, he would have given an account of those things before he died, but after the funeral, my two brothers did not mention them, and they arranged for me to rest in the house where I usually put my miscellaneous items. They wouldn't let me stay in my father's room for a while - my eldest brother let his old mother-in-law live in my father's house, and there must be something wrong with that. It was hidden in my father's house. Where to hide things, only I know. ”

"After my parents adopted me, I had two brothers and two younger sisters, before that, my parents had not given birth for more than ten years, I knew when I was eight years old that I felt sorry for my parents, my parents' words, I never dared to disobey, two younger brothers because of pampering, not at all worthy of parents' hearts, the eldest brother made a group of fox friends in the society, often caused trouble, the second brother was imprisoned for three years because of the fight. My sister eloped at the age of fifteen and had children, and my father never recognized their marriage. My parents regretted that they shouldn't have given birth to them, but the wood was already in the boat, it was too late to regret it, and the two younger brothers were still bullying me at home, if it wasn't for my parents to protect me, if it wasn't for my reluctance to let my parents go, I would have left the Ran family a long time ago. ”
