He Jie was always upright and serious, and he had never heard of Shen Guoliang before. After his family wanted to buy Shen Mu Ning's house and Shen Mu Ning told him about her family's situation, he began to inquire about Shen Guoliang from various sources. So, knowing Shen Guoliang's behavior and his close relationship with people in the housing management bureau over the years, he looked down on Shen Guoliang.
Instead of taking good care of his own elder brother's bloodline, this guy took their money and then tried to register their property under his own name. Even getting something for nothing is easier than this. There's no need to be polite to such a despicable person.
"What do you mean, buy the courtyard? We didn't sell this courtyard." Not only Shen Guoliang, but Li Hongmei was also confused when they heard He Jie's words. They were very satisfied with this courtyard, how could they possibly sell it?
"You're not the owners of the house, so of course you can't sell it to us," He Mu, the eldest son of the He family, couldn't help but complain. This family had lived here for so long that they really thought it was their own home. Just look at how Shen Mu Ning was willing to sell the courtyard to outsiders instead of leaving it to them, and even made them come to take back the house only after she left. You can tell that this couple are not good people.
Upon hearing this, Shen Guoliang instantly recalled Shen Mu Ning's words that she would never return home. At the time, he had assumed she wanted to sever all ties with them and never set foot in this house again. It turned out that not only that, she had also sold the courtyard, and none of her family lived there anymore. Even if she returned, even if she still had contact with them, she wouldn't come here again.
Unfortunately, he initially thought Shen Mu Ning only knew that he had the money her parents left behind, so he firmly insisted on taking it back. It turned out the deed to the house was also in her possession; she had hidden it well, and for several years, they hadn't been able to find it. It was also his fault for not thinking things through earlier and letting Shen Mu Ning sell the house. If he had known the deed was in her hands, he would never have let her go so easily.
Shen Guoliang's thoughts raced in an instant, while Li Hongmei was both anxious and furious. They had only discovered last night, upon returning home, that Shen Mu Ning had taken the military overcoat and suitcase left behind by Shen Guodong. They were still seething with anger when they learned she had even sold the house; they nearly choked on their own breath. But now, she couldn't care less about cursing Shen Mu Ning for being such an ingrate; all she could think about was how to stay here and not move out.
"What kind of house did you buy? Our family has never sold a house. You must have made a mistake." Li Hongmei was only thinking about denying this. Her family had lived in this house for five years, so it could only be hers. She wouldn't let her move out!
“Sister, we are the original owners of this courtyard. We bought it from your niece, and the transfer of ownership has been completed. The housing management bureau has a record of it.” Seeing that Li Hongmei was trying to renege on her promise, Qian Juhua naturally stopped trying to be nice to her.
"Oh dear, what a heartless ingrate! Back then, her second uncle and I took her in and raised her when she became an orphan at such a young age. We never expected that she would not only be ungrateful but also secretly sell our house!" When Li Hongmei realized that her attempts to be unreasonable were not working, she started to throw a tantrum, trying to let everyone in the neighborhood know that her niece had secretly sold her second uncle's house. She hoped to use the unsuspecting people to put pressure on the He family and prevent them from moving out of the courtyard.
Upon hearing this, the He family members turned pale with anger. The eldest daughter-in-law immediately raised her voice, saying, "Auntie, you can't just smear her name because she's not here. Besides, anyone who's lived around here for more than five years knows this house belongs to your brother-in-law. Don't tell me you're using the excuse of taking care of your niece to try and claim this place as your own?"
The eldest daughter-in-law of the He family already pitied Shen Mu Ning for having to go to the countryside in Lingbei at such a young age. Knowing that Li Hongmei had signed her up, she didn't have a good impression of her. Now that she was throwing a tantrum, she directly exposed the hypocritical mask of this family.
