Huang Wanzhen glared at her. "How could a housekeeper like you allow my grandfather to get the title deed to the public house?"
Huang Dong touched her chest, her face filled with pain. "Your grandfather was a Jinshi (Jinshi) and a very high-ranking figure. Who would have thought he would do such a shameless thing?"
Huang Wanzhen curled her lips. The characteristic of intellectuals is hypocrisy. They usually look prosperous but that is because their interests are not affected. Their smart brains will not allow themselves to damage their own reputation for the sake of others. In this way, they become moral models in the eyes of the world.
But if anyone touches his cake, he will do the most disgusting thing in the world.
"Well, fortunately you have one advantage over him, so we still have a high probability of accomplishing this." Huang Wanzhen comforted him in a hypocritical manner.
With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Huang Dong asked excitedly, "How am I better than your grandfather?" How could she not know that she was better than her father-in-law in some ways.
"You're young! You're in good health and will live longer than him. You can outlast him even if you can." Huang Wanzhen smiled maliciously.
Mrs. Huang raised her hand angrily, wanting to teach her little daughter a lesson.
"Stop! Mother, think about it, Grandpa is old and won't live long. If someone outside chooses between you two, he will definitely choose you."
"When my grandfather dies, the deed we forged will become real."
"At worst, you can sell the house and rent it back. After Grandfather dies, you can move out."
Mrs. Huang raised her hand, but it didn't fall on Huang Wanzhen. She thought carefully for a while, clapped her hands and made up her mind, "Very good. Ask your second uncle to find a powerful person. Even if there is a commotion after your grandfather's death, Huang Shuhua will not be able to get through."
Huang Wanzhen continued to give her advice, "Just look for the Xinxing Society. The people in it are all living on the edge of a knife. That old scoundrel Huang Shuhua is very careful about his life and he definitely wouldn't dare to fight them head-on."
"Yes, yes, my son is right." Mrs. Huang nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
After the two of them had discussed it, they didn't delay any longer and went out to call a rickshaw and headed straight to Dong Yuzhuo's home in Sanlihe.
"This house is outside the West City. It's really not easy to come here."
As soon as Mrs. Huang Dong saw Dong Yuzhuo and Dong Jiang, she started talking about them.
Huang Wanzhen tugged at the corner of her clothes in annoyance. She was really talking about something that was irrelevant to the topic. Mrs. Huang was sometimes really stupid and always said things that others didn't want to hear.
"Oh! My fifth sister! I've been married to your Dong family for so many years, bearing children for them, but in the end, I don't get to live in any of the four houses left by the old man. They've all been taken over by the eldest family." Dong Jiang felt extremely aggrieved after hearing what Huang Dong said. She couldn't help but complain, "If it weren't for the Second Master's ability to buy these houses, I would have returned to my parents' home and not followed him anymore."
Huang Dongshi cursed her eldest sister-in-law with a common hatred. "It's all because of that Li Ronghua who harbored evil intentions. To keep the house, she chose to divorce my eldest brother and get a daughter-in-law. None of our relatives here have any contact with her. Just wait and see. One day, God will punish her."
Huang Wanzhen rolled her eyes secretly. Is it so easy to establish a female household? If it weren't for Dong Yuge's operation, Li Ronghua would not be able to establish a female household, and the Dong family's house deeds would not be changed to Li Ronghua's name.
If anyone harbors evil intentions, it should be Dong Yuge, the eldest son of the Dong family.
But Huang Dong was deeply poisoned by feudal ideas since childhood. She was both close to and respectful of Dong Yuge. She would never say anything wrong about him, and all the sins were pushed onto her non-blood-related sister-in-law.
"Fifth sister, please talk less. You don't come to my house easily, but you always cause trouble for me when you come." Dong Yuzhuo said reluctantly.
Seeing that Mrs. Huang Dong was unreliable, Huang Wanzhen quickly stepped in and told her the purpose of their visit.
"Pa—" Dong Yuzhuo slammed his hand on the table. "I told you, there's not a single good person in the Huang family. The old and the young are all ruthless."
"That house has five courtyards and is in a prime location. It's worth at least 40,000 dollars. That old guy actually gave it away to an outsider for his own selfish desires. He's such a jerk."
Huang Dongshi echoed, "Yes, he was an official, but it was all in vain. He is even more shameless than a scoundrel."
Huang Wanzhen saw that Dong Jiang was about to open her mouth to curse, so she quickly said, "Yes, yes, he is selfish. Since he doesn't care about us, we don't want to care about him either. Second uncle, we are thinking of selling the house and renting it back. Let my mother live there first, and then move out after the old man dies."
If she didn't interrupt them, they would curse all day long, and she wouldn't have that much time to accompany them.
"Have you thought it through?" Dong Yuzhuo said with a serious face, "Such a good location, such a big house, if you sell it, it will be difficult to buy it back."
Huang Wanzhen nodded. "Yes, I had thought about it a long time ago, but my mother insisted on selling it after I left home. This delay allowed my grandfather to take away the title deed of the public house."
Dong Yuzhuo waved his hand and said, "It's no problem. If there's no title deed, just sell it at a lower price. It's such a nice house. If you spread the word, there will be many people vying for it."
"Oh! I see." Huang Wanzhen didn't know that buying and selling houses was so easy these days. "Then how should I proceed? I was thinking of forging a deed."
Dong Yuzhuo was at a loss for words and said, "Why are you still forging it? You can just go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and get a replacement. Your father-in-law is from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You don't even have to spend any money. I really don't know if you and your mother are smart or stupid."
Huang Wanzhen: “…”
Oh! So that's how it is. She has never done anything like this before, so she really doesn't understand.
"Okay, leave it to me." Huang Wanzhen took the responsibility.
Dong Yuzhuo glared at her angrily, "You're so arrogant, can you be more steady? If your man is in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he's your father-in-law. Ask him to do things and wait for the elders to come forward."
After saying that, she shouted at Huang Dongshi, "Fifth sister, spend less time embroidering and cooking, and teach your daughter more about the ways of the world."
Mrs. Huang nodded hurriedly, "Okay, I'll come forward and send the invitation tomorrow."
Huang Wanzhen suddenly felt that her uncle was quite useful, so she had to find a way to help him avoid that disaster.
When Zheng Liu received the invitation from the Huang family, she was suddenly panicked. She thought that Huang Dong was going to come and blame her son for not accompanying his daughter-in-law back home.
Zheng Ruqing returned home, and the first thing Zheng Liushi did was to hand over the invitation, "Master, my mother-in-law will be here tomorrow."
Zheng Ruqing didn't reach out to take it. As he took off his cotton coat, he said casually, "Now that they're here, you should treat them well."
"No, sir, the note says it wants to see you and me." Zheng Liu glanced at him cautiously, "My daughter-in-law came back home yesterday, but Brother Sang didn't go with her."
"What? Brother Sang didn't go? He didn't even show up for the important event of returning home in three days? Who are you trying to impress?" Zheng Ruqing turned around and shouted angrily, "Is this how you manage the household? I'm busy with the affairs of the Imperial Household Department all day, and when I come back I have to clean up your mess. You guys are really nice."
