Chapter 1960: Find the Real Estate Certificate
Thankfully, in order to coax Zhai Hua back then, they only transferred the house to Wei Xiaomei. Those plots of farmland were still in his father’s name.
Otherwise, when his parents returned this time, not only would the house change owners, but the plots of farmland would as well. Wei De didn’t doubt this at all. Indeed, Wei Wei was an ingrate. Wei Wei obviously knew what situation the Wei family was in, but he still dared to do so. Of course, Wei De wouldn’t be so naive to think that Wei Wei would still want to be family with them.
By doing this, Wei Wei was making a clean break with the Wei family. Everyone kicks a man who is down. Wasn’t the reason why Zhai Hua no longer had feelings for him and had gotten a divorce so simply because he had treated Wei Wei better than Jiajia and she was thus disappointed?
Now, it looked like this was how Wei Wei repaid him! If there was a day he became successful again, not only would he not pay attention to Wei Wei again, but he would also return everything Wei Wei had done to him then.
He would use his capabilities to tell Wei Wei that if he could be successful once, he could be successful twice. However, as long as anyone betrayed him once, he was not going to give the other party a second chance. When he made it big in life, he could have as many sons as he wished, let alone women. If Wei Wei thought he could act recklessly as he was his only son, then he was going to let Wei Wei understand what was known as the cruel reality!
At this moment, sons and daughters meant nothing to Wei De. No wonder there was an old saying that a close son was no better than money. Indeed, when it came to critical moments like these, a son was useless!
“…” As his son mentioned this, Father Wei remembered that the house was long under Wei Xiaomei’s name. “However, our family forked out all the money to build the house. Wei Xiaomei and the old village chief didn’t contribute anything at all. They didn’t pay any money. The house is ours. The homestead is ours too. On what basis could they be sold by Wei Wei, that little rascal?”
“Homestead?” Upon hearing this word, Wei De had an idea. “Dad, do this with Mom tomorrow… Indeed, the name on the real estate certificate is Wei Xiaomei. However, the homestead still belongs to our family. Back then, I didn’t give the homestead to Wei Xiaomei. As such, Wei Wei can sell the house but not the homestead. Based on this situation, our family can still earn another sum of money. You and Mom use this amount of money to buy a small house first.”
Generally, no one would sell the homestead. However, the house no longer belonged to their family and they couldn’t let the other party remove the house from their homestead. The cadre in the village had to be adjusted. Wei De wasn’t sure how much money could be obtained from the homestead.
Thankfully, there was this sum of money. He didn’t need to worry about his parents’ future livelihoods. It could be considered that this was the solution to their family’s urgent needs.
“Okay. I’ve remembered whatever you said. I’ll not let anyone take advantage of our family so casually.” It was good that there was an idea. Father Wei was most afraid of his son not having ideas. Their family was like a headless fly.
The Zhai family didn’t expect that the Wei family’s situation would become so bad. After the divorce, the Zhai family simply left the Wei family at the back of their minds, thinking that they would no longer be related to the Wei family.
The divorced Zhai Hua felt relaxed and she coincidentally returned from outside. Upon thinking of Qiao Nan, Zhai Hua decided to walk to the Qiao family’s courtyard. Zhai Sheng liked Qiao Nan. The marriage was probably going to happen soon. The people who lived in the Qiao family’s courtyard would more or less be related to their family in the future.
Even if it was for Zhai Sheng, her brother, she had to be concerned a little.
Zhai Hua didn’t enter the Qiao family’s courtyard and just went around it. However, even if that was the case, she could still hear the dispute from the Qiao family’s courtyard.
“Where are you going?” Qiao Dongliang’s voice was somewhat suppressed and he seemed to be holding back his anger.
Compared to Qiao Dongliang’s forbearance, Ding Jiayi’s voice was more hysterical. “Where are we going? You gave the house to that wretched girl who has no conscience. Where else can I go? Of course I’m going to get the real estate certificate back! When our family was having difficult times and Zijin was about to die, that unscrupulous girl took away our family’s money. That was Zijin’s life-saving money, but she ran away with it and had a carefree life. Now, she even had the cheek to take our family’s real estate certificate. I’m going to ask her where her confidence came from. If I had known she was going to be such a bloodsucker, I should have strangled her to death when I gave birth to her then!”
“Doesn’t she know how difficult our family situation is? How can she accept the real estate certificate? She’s obviously trying to force us to our deaths. An ungrateful thing like her would definitely have her retribution sooner or later. Serves her right for being forty years old now but without a partner. She’s not married yet and doesn’t even have a child. Wait and see. When she’s old, she wouldn’t even have someone taking care of her. She would definitely sleep on the bridges and be an old beggar. n.o.body will take care of her funeral when she’s dead. This is her retribution for abandoning her family, ignoring her birth sister’s life and death, and s.n.a.t.c.hing away everything from our family. G.o.d will not spare her!”
Ding Jiayi couldn’t wait to use the most vicious curses in the world on Qiao Nan and use the ugliest words to scold her.
In order to maintain the harmony of this family, Ding Jiayi had to protect Qiao Zijin’s interests. She was going to secretly find the real estate certificate and transfer it to Qiao Zijin behind Qiao Dongliang’s back so that he wouldn’t be unhappy when he found out.
Who knew that it had already been a week since Ding Jiayi carefully looked through the corners of the small courtyard thrice? She even flipped over all the pockets of the old clothes that belonged to the family of three. However, she didn’t manage to find the real estate certificate. The desperate Ding Jiayi realized that she was only short of digging three feet of land to turn their house into a plot of farmland.
As such, Ding Jiayi couldn’t help but wonder if the real estate certificate was at home. If it was, it was impossible that she couldn’t find it. She had searched everywhere. There was only one home. How could there be a good place to hide things at home which she didn’t know about?
After searching to this extent but not finding it, Ding Jiayi could only suspect that Qiao Dongliang placed the real estate certificate somewhere outside their home.
Ding Jiayi fretted. There were so many places outside their home. What place was safe to Qiao Dongliang so that the real estate certificate wouldn’t be lost but not within her reach?
