Seeing her tearful face, Chen Xiaoying felt bad for her: "This house is in your and your couple's names. He has to pay off his half now, and you still have the remaining half."
She thought: "When the time comes, you won't be able to buy a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment like this, so you can just buy an older two-bedroom apartment and make do."
If she hadn't known that housing prices would skyrocket in the future, she would not have agreed with Zhao Xueyan continuing to buy houses.
When Li Hongqiang heard this, he was stunned. According to him, he was willing to give the house because he calculated that if he sold the house to pay off his debts, he would still have more than ten thousand left.
But what he meant was that half of the money from selling the house would be given to Zhao Xueyan?
"What money does she want..." He couldn't help but glared at Zhao Xueyan fiercely.
Zhao Xueyan was a little scared and looked at Chen Xiaoying for help.
Chen Xiaoying sighed. She had told Zhao Xueyan several times before, explicitly or implicitly, that if she didn't want to live with Li Hongqiang anymore, she would not ignore her as the mother of her granddaughter.
But she is like this. She knows that Li Hongqiang is unreliable and that having this husband is just a burden to her, but she is even more old-fashioned than her. She believes that a woman cannot divorce a man and that a woman who remarries will definitely not find a good family. She would rather Li Hongqiang be a bad person than she would like to endure it.
What's this?
She couldn't take the initiative to ask her to divorce Li Hongqiang?
Zhao Xueyan is a person without her own opinion. If she made a decision for her and then got divorced, she would turn around and blame her, saying that it was she who made her get divorced.
Chen Xiaoying said, "It's up to you. If you don't want to sell the house and don't sign the contract, he can't sell it. It's up to you."
Furthermore, she looked at Li Hongqiang and said, "I bought this house in the first place. What? You have never been filial to me for a single day. Now you want to sell the house and take all the money away with you?"
Is this still a human being?
This is a beast!
Li Hongqiang was very concerned about his reputation, and he felt a little embarrassed at this point. He wanted to say in a tough manner, "I don't want your money," but the fact was that he really didn't want to go back to jail.
I could only lower my head.
Zhao Xueyan cried but didn't say anything. She just cried about her miserable life.
At this moment, the door of the second bedroom suddenly opened a crack, and through the gap, Li Yujie's pair of cold eyes appeared in front of everyone.
Chen Xiaoying couldn't understand why her third granddaughter Li Yujie still became a bad person after she had provided her with the best learning environment: a good school, a good family background, and good tutors.
"Li Yujie, you came out for a moment, tell me what you think?"
She said.
Li Yujie is already a sixteen-year-old girl, and she is not ignorant of everything. She participates in the major family affairs. First, it allows her to learn to make decisions. Second, it lets her know that it is not easy for her mother Zhao Xueyan to raise her and her father is unreliable. If she has a conscience, she has to help her mother. Only when the mother and daughter are of one mind can they live a good life.
She had good intentions, but she didn't expect Li Yujie to roll her eyes and slam the door again.
"You slammed the door because you want to die. I can't help but beat you to death!" Li Hongqiang cursed angrily.
Before he finished speaking, he saw Li Yujie walking out of the door with her bag, without even looking at anyone, and was about to leave.
"Where are you going?" No one said anything, only her mother Zhao Xueyan was anxious, wiping her tears and asking quickly.
"What do you care where I go?" Li Yujie was not afraid of the weak-tempered Zhao Xueyan at all, and said impatiently.
"Let her die." Li Hongqiang cursed indifferently.
Chen Xiaoying looked at Li Hongqiang with a chill. She had to say, the vicious words Li Hongqiang used to scold his daughter were exactly the same as those used by his father Li Pingwang.
He is clearly his own child, but he scolds him as if he were an enemy.
Li Yujie wanted to leave, but she remembered that she had spent the ten yuan she asked for yesterday, so she turned to Zhao Xueyan and said, "Give me twenty yuan."
With this matter-of-fact tone, Li Hongqiang started to curse again: "What money do you want? You don't study hard, but just fool around. You might as well die out there. Why don't you just not come back?"
"I'd rather have a dog than you!"
Li Yujie was like a rebellious person at this time. She said to Li Hongqiang with disdain and condescension: "I am a dog, and you are an old dog!"
Li Hongqiang was stunned.
Everyone in the room was stunned for a moment.
Li Hongqiang never dreamed that his own daughter would dare to scold him.
In his chauvinistic mind, he can beat his wife and scold his children, but they must unconditionally obey him as their leader.
"I'll beat you to death!" Li Hongqiang reacted and raised his hand to slap him.
It was so fast that no one had time to help.
With a snap, Li Yujie felt a burning pain on her face and almost fell to the ground.
"Don't hit the child." Zhao Xueyan cried and tried to stop them.
Li Hongqiang stepped forward and kicked Li Yujie a few more times: "You beast, worse than pigs and dogs. If I had known you were like this, I should have strangled you to death when you were born."
"Shameless thing, why do I keep a beast like you, ah!"
Li Yujie felt the pain and burst into tears. While crying, she scolded Li Hongqiang: "You are the loser. I didn't spend a penny of your money to grow up. It was my mom who earned money to support me. Other parents don't beat their children, but you do!"
"If you don't treat me as a human being, I won't bury you when you die."
Li Hongqiang was so angry that she was half dead. He was her father, and she dared not bury him even after he died.
The whole family cried and shouted non-stop.
Li Hongwei frowned. He wanted to leave. Li Hongjian and Li Honggang also wanted to leave, and there was no way to stop them.
Chen Xiaoying didn't want to see the third son for the third time. She had to make it clear today about the repayment of the money: "Pull him away."
After Chen Xiaoying gave the order, Li Hongwei and his two brothers immediately stepped forward and pulled the family of three apart one by one.
Zhao Xueyan blocked several punches and kicks for Li Yujie. She felt pain all over and pulled Li Yujie to sit aside and cry.
Li Hongqiang was filled with anger and felt that he was the one who was offended.
"Xueyan, tell me, are you going to sell the house or not?" Chen Xiaoying no longer looked at Zhao Xueyan's tears. If she let it go on, who knew how many days she would cry?
After Li Hongqiang ran away, no one knew who to ask for the payment of the 22,000 yuan debt of the eldest brother Li Hongwei.
Li Hongqiang didn't want to go to jail, so he opened his mouth and said on behalf of Zhao Xueyan: "Sell it, sell it. I'm the head of the family, and I have the final say on this house."
Chen Xiaoying looked at Zhao Xueyan: "What do you think?"
Zhao Xueyan cried, "You keep asking me what I can do. I can't just watch him go to jail. How will Jiejie and I face people when we go out in the future?"
Chen Xiaoying calmed down and nodded: "Okay, let's sell it."
The couple listed on the property title had confirmed that the house had been sold, so the formalities were easy to handle. However, there were so many pieces of furniture, home appliances, sofas, pots and pans, and bed sheets and quilts that Zhao Xueyan had bought for the house that she didn't know where to put them.
Zhao Xueyan's eyes were filled with tears. Li Yujie realized at this moment that she was about to become homeless: "Mom, if the house is sold, where will we live?"
Zhao Xueyan looked at Li Hongqiang with tears in her eyes.
Li Hongqiang glared at Li Yujie and said, "Go back to the village and live there."
Li Yujie thought of the big courtyard in the village, the muddy ground, and the villagers who were mostly wearing dusty clothes and working in the fields. They were all uneducated and looked so vulgar. Her heart suddenly sank: "No, I won't go back."
"If you don't go back, just sleep on the street and no one will care about you." Li Hongqiang said sarcastically.
