Lin Zhaoyue said frankly, "My maternal grandparents gave me this courtyard when they were alive. I have their will."

"What do you mean? Your uncle and his family sold it to me, so this courtyard is mine. Your family's problems are none of my business." The man's expression suddenly changed. So Lin Zhaoyue came to take the courtyard away? This was unacceptable! He had spent real money to buy it back.

“I think there must be some misunderstanding here. Brother, don’t worry,” Hua Xiuyun said, trying to ease the tension. “How about this, since it involves Uncle Zhaoyue, let’s call them over and ask them to find out what’s going on!”

“Yes, this courtyard belongs to whoever owns it. We’re not an unreasonable family,” Jiang Guofu said, pointing inside the house. “It’s not convenient for us to talk here, why don’t we go inside?”

The man, a neighbor living nearby, was in no mood to sit down. "You just wait, I'll go contact them right now. What kind of mess is this!"

As soon as the man left, Hua Xiuyun frowned and looked at Zhaoyue. "Perhaps the two elders left too suddenly and didn't have time to explain these things clearly. When your uncles arrive later, just say what needs to be said. Don't be afraid."

Hua Xiuyun wasn't interested in the "things" themselves, but rather in the fact that these were things her parents had left for her when they were alive.

If it belongs to her daughter-in-law and she doesn't want to give it to someone else, she should try her best to help her get it.

The room was a mess, with not even a place to put your feet down. Jiang Jingzhou found a stool for Lin Zhaoyue to sit down first.

"Come on, slow down."

"Hmm." Lin Zhaoyue sat down carefully, feeling extremely cold all over. She looked around the empty room, feeling a mix of emotions.

A few minutes later, the man who had just left returned, but this time he didn't come alone; he brought two "helpers."

“I’ve already contacted your uncle, and they’ll be over in a bit,” the man said unhappily. “They never told me about this. If I had known beforehand that there was something wrong with this yard, I would never have bought it.”

“Yes, we didn’t mean anything by it. The key issue for us right now is to figure out the ownership of this courtyard.” Lin Zhaoyue’s voice was calm. “You probably only signed a sales contract with my uncle and his family, but didn’t transfer the ownership, right?”

"No, they said they didn't know where the old man put the property certificate. Besides, we've known each other for so many years, so it doesn't matter whether there's a property certificate or not!"

The man waved his hand, but when he saw Lin Zhaoyue take out the property ownership certificate, his eyes widened. "What, what is this!"

"This is the property ownership certificate for this yard. Please look carefully; it has my name on it. Originally, it was under my maternal grandparents' names," Lin Zhaoyue said earnestly. The man looked at it and put it away. "If you don't believe me, we can go to the notary office to see if my property ownership certificate is real or fake!"

"..." Since they can produce proof of ownership, it means that what Lin Zhaoyue said is true.

The man muttered impatiently, "What kind of mess is this!"

"Don't worry, once we find out what happened, my uncle and the others will give you the money." After Lin Zhaoyue finished speaking, there was a commotion outside, and three people came in. The man in front looked to be about the same age as her father-in-law Jiang Guofu, and his features looked very much like her grandmother's. There was another man who was a few years younger, and the third man was about the same age as her.

"Old Huang, tell me what's going on? This yard was given to you, my niece, when your parents were still alive. How could you sell it to me!"

The man was a little angry; their own family had created a problem, yet he was now being made to bear the consequences.

The price I paid for this yard was indeed quite low because there was no property ownership certificate.

He felt he had gotten a good deal, and unless they cooperated in transferring the property rights to him, he felt that any other method was unfair.

"..." Huang Dajin stared at Lin Zhaoyue, his tone not as kind as the two elders', "You're my sister's daughter?"

Lin Zhaoyue opened her mouth to speak, but the man's next question was, "What evidence do you have?"

"Look at what you're saying. The two elders recognized this granddaughter when they were alive. What evidence do they need?" Hua Xiuyun chuckled. "Let's not talk about that now. The important thing is who owns this courtyard. Let's not keep them waiting here."

"And who are you?" Huang Eryin frowned as he looked at Hua Xiuyun, then looked at the other people in the room one by one, not recognizing any of them!

“This is my daughter-in-law, and also your niece Zhaoyue. I am Zhaoyue’s mother-in-law, this is Zhaoyue’s father-in-law, and that is my son, Zhaoyue’s husband.” Hua Xiuyun sensed something was amiss and provided a detailed introduction.

Huang Dajin and his brother don't need an introduction; everyone can tell who they are. The young man who came with them is unknown; he's not an important person.

"Oh, I see. So you brought your in-laws here to ask us for things!" Huang Eryin's lips curled into a mocking smile as he sneered, "Don't even mention you. Even if your mother were alive, this house has nothing to do with her. What's a married woman thinking about?"

“That’s right. Your mother has been dead for so many years and has never fulfilled her duty of supporting your parents. As her daughter, you have no right to inherit anything from this family.”

Huang Dajin said righteously, "Lin Zhaoyue, you should go somewhere cool and stay there. I'm busy at the factory, don't cause me any trouble."

Lin Zhaoyue understood.

They don't intend to acknowledge her as their niece.

It's okay, whether they recognize them or not is none of their business.

Lin Zhaoyue took out the property ownership certificate she had just laid out again. "This courtyard is mine. You sold it without my permission, and I have the right to take it back!"

"What? Are you planning to keep this up forever!"

Huang Dajin chuckled irritably. "Fine, I see now. You're clearly after the money. Don't think I don't know what you're up to, you brat. You haven't contacted the two elders for so many years, and now you're showing up to be filial. Isn't it just to swindle them out of their money? I'm already being lenient by not directly accusing you of being a fraudster, and you still have the nerve to come and settle scores with me."

"Don't put it so harshly! What do you mean by 'cheating you out of your money'? My daughter-in-law is just here to collect what's rightfully hers!" Hua Xiuyun's expression changed instantly. The two elders were easy to get along with, but they never expected their son to be so unreasonable!

“If they didn’t give it to my daughter-in-law, we would never want it. You didn’t even notify my daughter-in-law when the two elders died, and you didn’t let the children see them off on their final journey. What were you thinking!”

Hua Xiuyun said coldly, "Our Jiang family doesn't even consider your little bit of wealth a concern right now. It's too much for you to talk like that!"
