The family of He's eldest daughter-in-law was stunned.

I never expected that this daughter of the family who used to support the family would become so disobedient.

They even dared to challenge them.

Granny Zhang was furious. Pointing at He's eldest daughter-in-law, she yelled, "You've come to the city and you don't even recognize your own family anymore?"

"Is this how city people teach you to be unfilial?"

In previous years, when her eldest daughter came back from the city for the Spring Festival, she would bring her a lot of food and supplies, and also give her red envelopes.

It made her very influential in the village.

I never expected that when I came back this year, not only would they not give me money, but they would also dare to sever ties with me?

Granny Zhang cursed at her eldest daughter, "I had a difficult childbirth when I gave birth to you, I almost lost my life, I raised you from infancy with all my love and care, and this is how you treat me?"

She then sat down on the ground and started crying.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the He family felt a headache coming on when she saw her mother like this.

Her brothers also said to her, "You are the eldest sister in the family, and Mom loves you the most. Now that you're asking for a little money, you're disowning your own mother. You're too heartless."

They went back and forth, their words implying a moral blackmail against He's eldest daughter-in-law.

Worry-free and Joy frowned as they listened.

"Isn't this just moral blackmail?"

“If my aunt went back to her family to ask for money, I don’t believe you would give her any.”

The Zhang family glared at Xile angrily, wondering why he talked so much.

But the eldest daughter-in-law of the He family was a little soft-hearted.

She's my own mother, after all. I've been filial to her for so many years, it's impossible for me to suddenly become unfilial.

She was just about to give in.

The eldest son of the family said, "This money belongs to the He family. If you dare to give it to your mother, we will get a divorce."

Old Master He remembered that his wife used to secretly take money to subsidize her family.

Although the family is better off now, we still have mortgages to pay on those two houses in Shanghai, and all this money has to go towards those mortgage payments.

Besides, with so many sons in the family getting married in the future, which one won't cost money?

This small amount of compensation is far from enough; does she even want to take it to her parents' home for a share?

“If you even think about getting this money, we’ll break up completely, and you can have all the children.”

The eldest daughter-in-law of the He family felt a buzzing in her head.

"What did you say?"

divorce?

"You dare to divorce me?"

She almost jumped up and started arguing with Boss He.

Older He wouldn't budge an inch. "We still owe so much on the mortgage, and the house isn't even renovated yet. You want to take money back to your parents' house? You don't want to be with me anymore. Do you want to drag us down instead of getting a divorce?"

The eldest daughter-in-law of the He family was stunned.

I remember now.

Yes, there's so much mortgage debt to pay, and the house isn't even renovated yet.

This money is just enough for the renovation; it wouldn't be enough for my wife's family.

Besides, she's already this old, how could she get a divorce? It would be too shameful.

The children are all grown up, and just when we're about to enjoy life, we get divorced. It's so embarrassing to tell anyone.

"I will not get a divorce."

She's made up her mind; she won't get a divorce.

As for her family.

"Mom, please stop worrying about our money. We have to pay it all back. We owe a lot of money in Shanghai."

Granny Zhang didn't believe it.

“All seven members of your family are working, you don’t need that much money.”

“Unlike your nephews, who are getting old and don’t have enough houses to live in. They are almost of marriageable age and still don’t have new houses. It will be difficult for them to find wives in the future.”

"If you're a filial son, give your mother some, and she'll have your nephews pay you back later."

Zhang's nephews all looked like scoundrels; they didn't seem like they would ever pay back the money.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the He family hardened her heart and said, "My nephew has parents; it's his parents' business to worry about his marriage."

"You're getting on in years, you should go back and rest."

“I will buy you gifts during holidays and festivals in the future. As for my family’s property, please don’t even think about it.”

Having been away from home for many years, I've finally learned my lesson.

Old Master He breathed a sigh of relief.

He's still willing to stay with his wife as long as she doesn't give the family property to her family.

Although the sons of the He family were raised to be greedy and cheap, they never changed their wives in both of their lives.

That's a rare little advantage.

Seeing that their eldest sister-in-law had expressed her opinion, the other wives of the He family immediately explained the situation to their own families as well.

“We also have three or five sons, and we need to prepare wedding rooms for them. Besides, they are all here. It’s impossible for our own sons not to take care of your sons.”

"Besides, if it were you, would you be willing to give us your son's property?"

Naturally, the woman's family members were unwilling.

But when they really can't get anything, they feel bad.

This scene is similar to that of the He family back then; they can't stand seeing others rich and powerful, and they have to bleed others dry to feel satisfied.

Sheng Yueqing ignored all of that and led Old Madam Sheng and Xile Wuyou to deal with her two old houses.

Both houses are registered under the names of the couple, and both have property ownership certificates.

With my presence, things will be much easier to arrange.

Their houses are large, two large three-story houses with two large yards, which translates to twelve houses plus a considerable amount of compensation.

Sheng Yueqing plans to move to a new house so she can buy, sell, or rent it out later.

She signed a contract with the staff first, and the compensation was paid out in advance. She requested that the terms be reasonable and easy to handle.

After she signed the papers, the staff thanked her for being understanding.

Unlike the villagers, who all demand exorbitant amounts of compensation.

It will take a long time just to grind these things.

Sheng Yueqing didn't argue with them, and went to take another look at the old house she had bought with Zhang Dahua.

That house was left by Old Man Sheng. She gave it to Zhang Dahua at market price, but she didn't know if the land she liked was of any use.

She took Grandma Sheng and the others over to have a look.

Joy and Worry looked around curiously.
