Xia Lan was listless for two days, but she still had to face what she had to face. When she arrived at the old lady's house, Xia Lan put away all the things the old lady had left for her.
After packing their things, Xia Lan looked at them and sighed silently.
While I was tidying up the house, several people barged in.
He began to scrutinize the yard, his eyes filled with greed.
"I knew this old lady was rich! She lives in such a big house, it's such a waste."
"That's right! If that old hag hadn't died sooner, we wouldn't have to be so miserable, stuck in that little house."
"The old lady must still have a lot of good stuff hidden away. When we sell it, hehehe..."
"Alright, stop dreaming. Let's claim the house first!"
"Yes, yes, yes."
As soon as they entered, they greedily looked around the house, wondering where the old lady might have hidden all her good stuff.
Just then, Xia Lan was carrying things into the yard, and the group was startled when they saw her.
"Hey, what are you doing here? Get out of here right now, this is our house."
Upon seeing Xia Lan carrying things out, the woman immediately pointed at Xia Lan and told her to leave quickly.
Xia Lan raised an eyebrow, looking at the group of people in front of her.
Who are you?
“We are relatives of the original homeowner. She is dead, so all these things, including this house, are ours! Do you understand?”
The woman said smugly to Xia Lan, looking around the house. Behind her, several men rubbed their hands together, seemingly looking for some treasure inside.
"I've never heard her mention having any relatives."
Xia Lan looked indifferently at these so-called relatives. Not a single relative came to see the old lady until her burial.
What are these so-called relatives anyway?
He never showed his face when the old man was alive.
The old man is gone, but now he's popped out from some corner, and the first thing he does is want to divide the inheritance.
"Don't worry about that. Anyway, we're the old woman's relatives. She has no children, so we can inherit everything from her."
The group glanced at Xia Lan with amusement; they were determined to get the old lady's house.
"You may want it, but you also have to see if you're qualified."
"I regret to inform you that you are not eligible to inherit the old lady's estate."
Xia Lan glanced at them with amusement, thinking, "They've got a good plan!"
However, the old lady had already transferred everything to her name, so these people wouldn't get a single penny.
Xia Lan didn't know how the old lady treated them, but judging from their behavior, the old lady probably didn't like them.
Who are you?
The group was surprised by Xia Lan's words and looked her up and down, giving her a proper look for the first time.
"I was the one who saw the old lady off at her deathbed."
Xia Lan looked at them indifferently.
"None of you showed up when the old lady passed away. Now you're here and telling me you're relatives? What kind of relatives are you?"
Xia Lan's words slapped the faces of the group, and they turned their heads away guiltily after being questioned by Xia Lan.
"What do you care who we are? We're the old lady's family. Who do you think you are?"
“That’s right, we are the only ones related to the old lady by blood. You’re an outsider, it’s none of your business.”
“We’ll come if we want, and even if we don’t come, we’re still the old lady’s blood relatives.”
Enraged, the group glared at Xia Lan, attempting to intimidate her with their imposing manner.
"I really don't want to bother with you guys!"
"After all, you want to profit from the dead."
Xia Lan said coldly.
"But I have to tell you something first."
"What?"
Several people watched Xia Lan warily, while one man eagerly walked into the house.
"Before the old lady passed away, she transferred everything she owned to me!"
Xia Lan glanced at the group.
"So this is my house now, please leave."
After Xia Lan finished speaking, she turned around and went back to her room to continue moving things.
"What?"
"The old lady actually gave the house to an outsider?"
"What evidence do you have to prove that the old lady gave you the house?"
The woman was incredulous and questioned Xia Lan.
"This is the property certificate, and my name is on it."
Xia Lan took out the property certificate for the house, which clearly showed Xia Lan's name.
"Did you plan this all along, plotting to take over the old woman's house, and deliberately positioning yourself near her?"
"That must be it, otherwise why would the old lady give you the house!"
"Otherwise, you took advantage of the old lady's unconscious state and used her finger to sign the document!"
"That's impossible. We're the old lady's relatives. What right do you have to take her things? Hand them over!"
"Yes! Hand over the house!"
The men were furious when they heard that their prize had slipped away.
They even tried to snatch the delivery room certificate from Xia Lan.
Xia Lan looked at them and calmly took back the property certificate.
He picked up a stick from the side and lashed it at the group of people.
"Aww!"
The man was struck hard by Xia Lan's stick and screamed in pain.
The others were so frightened that they dared not come forward.
Xia Lan pointed her stick at the few people who dared not step forward.
"Get out of my house!"
Xia Lan got angry just looking at them.
"The old lady has been buried for half a month, and you only show up now, and all you do is seek her things. Do people like you even deserve the old lady's property?"
"Get out of here!"
Xia Lan said coldly.
"You, you, you...you're maliciously taking the old woman's things!"
"We're going to report you to the police!"
Xia Lan walked towards them with a stick in her hand. Intimidated by Xia Lan's imposing manner, the group retreated one after another.
After finally leaving the house, Xia Lan snorted coldly and closed the door.
"What are we going to do? Just let her take it?"
"Report it to the police! She's a swindler; she cheated the old lady out of her house."
The group exchanged glances, then turned and ran towards the police station.
After Xia Lan finished tidying up the house, there was a knock on the door.
Xia Lan opened the door with a cold face and saw two police officers. They were clearly taken aback when they saw Xia Lan.
"Comrade Xia Lan."
"Long time no see, what brings you all here?"
Xia Lan saw some familiar faces; two police officers were in charge of this area, and Xia Lan had dealt with them quite a bit.
"Someone has accused you of defrauding an elderly person of their inheritance and seizing their house..."
The police officer gestured behind him and explained to Xia Lan.
"Them!"
Xia Lan saw the people she had just chased away and said indifferently.
“They claimed to be the old lady’s relatives, but they didn’t even show their faces when I was there to see her off. She’s been gone for half a month, and today when I came to collect her belongings, they appeared and said the house was theirs. They came up and started to search the old lady’s house for her treasures.”
"I got angry, so I kicked them out."
Xia Lan produced the property certificate and the old lady's will. After carefully verifying the information provided by Xia Lan, the two confirmed that it was indeed the old lady's wish for Xia Lan to inherit the estate, and there was no coercion or inducement from Xia Lan, nor was there any deception.
