The Shen family members looked at these shameless people, and Old Madam Shen was even more furious.
“We built this house ourselves. Your dad and my dad were talking about those two mud-brick houses, not these six tiled houses.”
At the time, the old man of the Shen family did tell his brother that the house would be used by both families.
But who would want this mud-brick house? These cousins took the money given to them by the old man of the Shen family.
I built the house I have now, but I never expected that this autumn...
Heavy rains hit the village, their houses collapsed, and they had no money to build new ones.
The family could only squeeze together, watching the Shen family live so well in such a nice house.
These people came looking for her, and after hearing her uncle's explanation of the whole story, Ye Zhaozhao also looked down on them.
"Stop talking nonsense. Anyway, your dad said you two need to hurry up."
"Make the house available; my son needs it for his wedding."
The woman looked at Ye Zhaozhao and Shen Yun; both of them were dressed in nice clothes.
Looking at Tao Lihua and Liang Hudie, they seem to have become much younger than before.
They felt it must be because of the house, because the feng shui here was good.
Once they move in, they can become like that too.
“I still have the agreement your father wrote back then; you can see for yourselves.”
Shen Jianjun took the document; it seemed they had come fully prepared for the house today.
He immediately sent someone to summon the village chief. His cousins thought that even if the village chief came, they couldn't renege on their promise.
It's written here in black and white; we'll wait for the village chief to arrive.
Looking at the document, I told my cousins and a few others about it.
"It clearly states only the right to use the adobe house."
"Village chief, you can't side with them! We haven't even seen any mud-brick houses!"
The group persisted, determined to seize the house today. The village chief looked at Shen Jianjun.
Shen Jianjun said something to Shen Jianli, and then Shen Jianli went into the room and took out a piece of paper.
"Village chief, take a look at this."
The group of people, unaware of what was written on the paper, exchanged glances and felt a little flustered.
The village chief was furious after reading the contents of the paper. He had never seen such a shameless person before.
"Take a look for yourselves."
When the group saw the paper, they were all stunned. The paper stated that his father owed money to the old man of the Shen family.
Adding these up one by one, it's enough to buy not only an adobe house, but even a traditional courtyard house.
"As for the mud-brick houses, the houses they live in now were built with money from my father. Our Shen family doesn't owe them anything."
Shen Jianjun was very confident, and the village chief looked at these people.
"This is utterly unreasonable! Why aren't you going back yet?"
Several people knew the village chief was there, so they wouldn't be getting their houses today.
Just as he was about to leave, a young man ran out from behind him and shouted.
“I’m not leaving. I want this house. I can’t get married without a house. I don’t care. I just want this house.”
"Erdanzi, if you keep causing trouble, I'll have someone come and arrest you."
The village chief looked at the young man in front of him with a complicated expression; he was almost thirty.
Instead of thinking about how to earn money honestly and steadily, they only think about getting something for nothing.
After being reprimanded by the village chief, Erdanzi didn't dare to say anything and followed them to leave.
"etc."
This time it was Ye Zhaozhao who spoke, and everyone looked at her, seemingly wondering if she had anything else to say.
Now that everything is clear, shouldn't we settle this score on the paper?
"What's there to calculate? The money is my dad's debt, what does it have to do with us? We don't care."
"Haven't you heard the saying, 'The son pays for the father's debts'? Village chief, don't you think so?"
The village chief nodded. The money shouldn't be left unpaid just because the person is gone.
"Yes, since it was your father who borrowed the money, you, as his children, should pay it back."
A few people wouldn't pay it back, but what could they do if they didn't? They just didn't say this in front of the village chief.
Ye Zhaozhao saw through their thoughts and spoke up.
"Then we'll sue you, and we believe the law will make you pay back the money."
None of them understood the law, except for the village chief, who knew a little.
“Even if you go there, your relationship with your father won’t change, so you’ll still have to pay back the money.”
"Village chief, what if we can't pay back the money?"
"You may not have money, but you don't have people?"
They understood what the village chief meant; he was telling them that if they didn't have money, they would use people to cover for them.
However, the group of people simply couldn't come up with that much money, and the Shen family offered to extend their stay.
Several people wrote a guarantee in front of the village chief, promising to pay off all the debts within five years.
Shen Jianjun carefully put away the white certificate. The more smug they were when they came, the more disheveled they were when they left.
They didn't get the house and even lost money for nothing. Where are they going to find so much money in five years? Their son still needs to get married.
If I had known, I shouldn't have gone on this trip. The Shen family wouldn't have asked them for money. People really shouldn't be too greedy.
After they left, the Shen family thanked the village chief, who simply waved his hand.
"It's what I should do."
After the farce ended, Ye Zhaozhao went inside to rest. Around noon, Shen Wan came over.
She told Shen Yun that she had decided not to go to university, and Shen Yun thought she had been bullied by her family again.
"If you're worried about money, I can lend it to you."
Shen Yun didn't say it directly, but she remembered what Ye Zhaozhao had said.
When it comes to money, you should be careful even with your closest relatives.
"It's not because of money."
These days, Shen Wan stayed at home, seriously thinking about what she really wanted to do.
