Chapter 121 Cutting off Relatives
Aunt Liu believed in Old Lady Li very much and felt that her friend would not deceive her. She was sure that the old man was lying.
A vicious look flashed across the old man's eyes, and he continued firmly: "I'm not lying. His grandfather said it himself, and I heard it sincerely! If it was false, the neighbors would have stood up and criticized me long ago!"
Aunt Liu looked to other neighbors for help, but no one spoke up to object.
There were even a few men who nodded in agreement when they heard this: "Yes, how could something as important as a house be passed down to a daughter?"
"This old lady has lived here for nothing for so many years and still refuses to give up. Now her grandson is getting married and has no place to live, and she has the nerve to stay here."
Hearing such discussions, Aunt Liu's eyes turned red with anger, but Old Lady Li was surprisingly calm, without any anger on her face, as if she had long been accustomed to this kind of thing.
"You are so bad that you even bully an old widow!" Aunt Liu accused.
Mrs. Li gently held Aunt Liu's hand and comforted her, "A Ping, I'm fine, don't cry."
Aunt Liu choked up and asked, "How come there is no one with a conscience? What about the people you helped before? Didn't they help you either?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li glanced at the neighbors who were watching. She had helped several of them before, but now they were busy backing away.
"The world is fickle, that's how it is." Old Mrs. Li said without any sadness or joy.
Xu Youyou followed her gaze and understood what these people were thinking at just one glance.
They simply thought that Old Mrs. Li had no children and was a family with no descendants, so they could offend them at will. However, it was different for Big Brother Li's family, as they had many people and many children, and they would continue to be neighbors in the future, so they didn't want to offend them easily.
Mrs. Li said proudly: "Everyone is on my side. The house is ours. Don't even think about getting involved!"
Xu Youyou laughed when she heard this and said, "Since no one has a will and the house has not been transferred, it is actually very simple to distribute it."
Mrs. Li's heart skipped a beat and she asked, "What do you want to do?"
Xu Youyou smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's nothing serious. I just think that your property is not clearly divided, so why not go to court and file a lawsuit to settle it clearly."
Mrs. Li stiffened her neck and said, "It has never been reasonable to give a house to a daughter who married out! The court will not accept the case!"
Xu Youyou still had a faint smile on her face: "The court only looks at the evidence when accepting a case. If there is no will, the property will naturally be divided into several parts according to the number of children."
"My family is the eldest son and grandson! The money should be divided among us!" Mrs. Li shouted in a timid manner.
Xu Youyou shook her head gently and said, "The court will not listen to your reasoning. I am Ms. Li's boss, and I have the obligation to support her. Don't worry, I will hire the best lawyer for her and make sure that this lawsuit is clear."
"As for you." Xu Youyou looked at the old man who jumped out to lie: "Perjury will also be punished. You are old and you are not afraid of going to jail, but you have to pay compensation. If you don't have the money, you can sell your house. Are you afraid?"
The old man immediately took a step back and said, "I was just kidding. I don't care about your shit. I have something to do at home, so I'm leaving now!"
Brother Li and Sister-in-law Li were immediately panicked when they saw this scene. In their eyes, Xu Youyou was a rich person, and rich people had connections everywhere. The lawsuit might turn right into wrong and the house would be awarded to Old Lady Li.
"Sister, say something. Do you really want to sue your brother and sister-in-law?" This time, Sister Li grabbed Old Lady Li and refused to let go. She was no longer as fierce as she was at the beginning when facing her sister-in-law.
Even Brother Li softened his attitude: "Sister, have you forgotten how good your brother was to you when you were a child? Do you have to go to court with your family and let outsiders laugh at you to be happy? Or do you have to fight with your nephew for the house?"
Hearing this, Old Lady Li sighed and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, you were the ones who made things difficult for me first. What does it have to do with you whether I get paid or not?"
Compared to losing the house, Brother Li and Sister-in-law Li immediately felt that their sister-in-law’s salary was not important.
"Sister, keep the money for yourself. It's up to you whether you want the salary or not. But now that you have a job with food and accommodation, please stop fighting with your nephew for the house, okay?" Brother Li pleaded.
Mrs. Li nodded happily: "I will move out, and we should contact each other less in the future."
Having lived for most of her life, she has already understood life and can naturally see what kind of people her elder brother and sister-in-law are. Instead of longing for so-called family, it is better to focus all her energy on cats and dogs. At least small animals will not lie.
Xu Youyou was just trying to scare Brother Li's family just now, and she knew very well that Old Mrs. Li would not sue Brother Li and his wife. When she heard what the old lady said, she felt relieved.
Mrs. Li no longer faced the danger of losing her house, and she turned back to her previous mean and shrewd self. She looked at the cats and dogs in the house with disdain and said, "You have to kick these things out. I won't keep them."
Brother Li looked at the dogs in the yard with a gloomy look in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Old Lady Li quickly blocked her brother's sight and said, "Brother, don't think about eating dog meat again!"
Brother Li smiled awkwardly and said, "Sister, you are too suspicious. I just said it casually last time..."
"Woof woof! You big bad guy! You actually want to eat dog meat!" He shouted at Brother Li.
As soon as it opened its mouth, the other dogs in the yard stopped basking in the sun and followed behind Guaiguai, forming a dog team and barking at Brother Li together.
"Sister! Keep your dog under control!"
Guaiguai pretended to pounce on someone and bite him: "Woof woof! Woof woof!"
"Don't bite, stinky dog! I...you take care of it!"
Brother Li and Sister-in-law Li were so scared that they crawled out of the yard.
Aunt Liu burst into laughter and said, "We should let Guaiguai really bite them!"
