In mid-April, one month after Chen Yi's death, the house he bought diagonally opposite Shen Mingzhu's house was finally completed.

The decoration materials of this era did not contain excessive formaldehyde and harmful gases like those of later generations. Once the house was decorated, it could be lived in after a little ventilation.

Pei Wenping set May 1st as the official moving date.

Before that, she would pack up some things and take them to her new home when she had nothing to do.

In addition, she made a special trip to Chen's home and invited Chen's mother and father to move to the new home and live with her and the children.

Although she and Chen Yi were legally divorced, she still regarded Chen Yi as her husband in her heart and decided to support Chen Yi's mother and father on his behalf.

Chen's parents rejected her proposal.

Thinking that the two old people had a grudge against her, Pei Wenping did not force them: "Dad, Mom, I have cleaned up your rooms. Whenever you miss Xiaolu and Xiaochao, just give me a call and I will come to pick you up."

Having shown her attitude and sincerity, Pei Wenping stood up to say goodbye, but was stopped by Yi Ling:

"Sister Wenping, are you leaving now? Is there something you haven't made clear?"

Pei Wenping looked at the other person and said, "Just say what you want to say."

Yi Ling pulled the corner of her mouth, "Brother is in trouble, and everyone is feeling bad during this period. I can't bring up some things. Since you came here today to talk about the house, I will also tell you what I think."

"That house was bought by my eldest brother. You're moving in without even saying hello. Isn't that a bit unreasonable?"

"Logically speaking, the things that my eldest brother left behind belong to the Chen family. It shouldn't be your turn, right?"

Looking at the silent Chen family members, Pei Wenping still had something to not understand.

"You can fight for the house if you want, but wait until I die."

After saying this, he was about to leave, but Yi Ling stopped him angrily:

"Sister Wenping, what do you mean? Are you planning to seize the Chen family's property?"

Pei Wenping was never afraid of quarrels. "The house was bought by Chen Yi for me and my child. My name is also on the property certificate. He told me personally that there will not be a second mistress for this house. If you are not convinced, you can go to court and sue me. I will fight you to the end!"

Yi Ling was at a loss for words, so she turned around and asked for help: "Dad, Mom, what do you say?"

Pei Wenping also looked at the Chen family, wanting to know what they thought.

After a short silence, Chen's mother spoke coldly: "Wenping, you have to give up half of this house. The other half is not for you, but for Xiaolu and Xiaochao. Also, you have to hand over all the money Xiaoyi left with you."

"In that case, then you can find a lawyer to talk to me."

After saying that, he left Chen's house.

As soon as she left, Yi Ling shouted indignantly: "I knew that she would never spit out the money she had taken in so easily!"

In fact, as early as the day when Chen Yi got into trouble, Yi Ling mentioned the matter of Chen Yi's inheritance to her husband and in-laws.

But at that time, the Chen family was immersed in grief and had no time to care about anything else.

After the funeral, the Chen family did not look for Pei Wenping immediately, not out of consideration for each other, but to secretly investigate Chen Yi's income over the years.

…

Pei Yang was a proud and dignified person. When he heard that the Chen family was asking Pei Wenping for money and a house, he immediately became angry and said:

"Sister, just return the things to the Chen family. I will take care of you and the two children from now on. Our family doesn't lack those small things!"

Pei Wenping glared at him as soon as he finished speaking: "What bullshit are you talking about? Am I just after the house and money?"

Pei Yang was unhappy.

Pei Wenping nodded, "That's right, the money and the house are what Chen Yi left for the two children. I don't want a cent that doesn't belong to me, and I won't give up a cent that belongs to the two children."

"Leave it to the lawyers." Shen Mingzhu made the final decision.

…

Perhaps because they were afraid that things would get more complicated, the next day, the Chen family came to the door with their lawyer in a threatening manner.

Pei Wenping was accompanied by Shen Mingzhu and lawyer Bai Chuan.

Pei Yang wanted to come, but Shen Mingzhu didn't let him because she was afraid that he would lose control of his temper and start a quarrel with the Chen family.

It's best if we don't fall out.

Pei Wenping made the first move, saying she was willing to pay 500 yuan a month for Chen's father and mother's living expenses, and increase the amount by 10% every year until they passed away.

It was rejected by the Chen family.

Yi Ling mocked him bluntly, "As expected of a finance major, you have a very clear plan. We have already asked a lawyer to find out that Big Brother has given you over 2 million yuan over the years. Add the house and renovation on Zhongjie Street, and the total is almost 2.1 million yuan."

"You only give your parents 500 yuan a month, 6,000 yuan a year, how much is that in ten years? You are really evil-minded!"

Bai Chuan said calmly: "Ms. Yi, you privately investigated my client's financial situation and violated my client's privacy. We will reserve the right to pursue the matter."

Yi Ling sneered: "Go, go and sue me, it will also let outsiders see how much money Pei Wenping has embezzled from our Chen family!"

Pei Wenping calmly retorted: "If it's the Chen family's money, why is it in my hands?"

Yi Ling was so angry that she couldn't speak and could only pinch Chen Liang hard under the table.

Chen Liang felt pain and had to bite the bullet and speak: "Sister-in-law, Sister Wenping, I have discussed it with my parents, we want two million, and the house on Zhongjie Street."

"Xiaolu and Xiaochao, if you are willing to continue raising them, our Chen family will cover their tuition and living expenses. If you are not willing, then Yiling and I will raise them."

Pei Wenping said coldly: "As long as I am alive, I will never give my child to someone else to raise. I will never give you the house, and don't even think about the two million. Okay, stop talking nonsense, see you in court!"

…

"They definitely can't take the house on Zhongjie Street. As for the more than two million, I'm sure I can get at least half of it."

After the Chen family left, Bai Chuan analyzed the possibility of a lawsuit with Pei Wenping and Shen Mingzhu.

Seeing Pei Wenping was absent-minded, Shen Mingzhu had to speak to Bai Chuan on her behalf, "Lawyer Bai, please take care of the lawsuit."

"It's my duty. Thank you for your trust in me."

After seeing Bai Chuan off, Shen Mingzhu returned to the living room and sat next to Pei Wenping: "Sister, are you okay?"

Although she acted domineering in front of the Chen family, Pei Wenping became dispirited as soon as the Chen family left and has not said a word until now.

"I was wondering how Chen Yi would feel if he knew that after he died, I had such a big fight with the Chen family over his inheritance. Would he regret handing the money over to me?"

Shen Mingzhu was silent for a moment: "Sister, no matter what decision you make, Pei Yang and I will support you."

Pei Wenping turned her head to look at the lush pink roses blooming on the balcony. They were branches that Chen Yi had cut from someone else's house and brought back for grafting.

Two more pots were added at the beginning of this year, and each one is blooming beautifully.

"Forget it, just give them the money if they want it. We can't let the two children become enemies with their grandparents and uncle just for the money."

After a pause, he added: "I don't want to embarrass him either." (End of this chapter)
