He naturally didn’t tell the Wei family what he did. It was only when Father Wei and Mother Wei returned to the countryside, saw that someone else was living in their house, and wanted to fight and snatch the house back did they find out that the ownership of the house was already transferred.
When Mother Wei knew that the person who sold the house was her birth grandson and that after selling the house, Wei Wei brought Wei Xiaomei to somewhere they didn’t know, she cried. It was just that Father Wei’s and Mother Wei’s crying was futile. It wasn’t easy for them to return to their hometown. However, their decent three-story house had nothing to do with their family anymore.
Father Wei and Mother Wei didn’t have a place to live in. Out of desperation, they went to find the old village chief, scolding him for partnering with Wei Xiaomei to cheat them of their Wei family’s money.
It was only because Father Wei and Mother Wei had kicked up a fuss did everyone know that Wei Xiaomei’s birth father was the old village chief, even though the Wei family had picked her up and adopted her. No wonder Wei De could become a soldier. The old village chief had helped out.
All of a sudden, the shameless things the Wei family and the old village chief did over the past ten years were exposed and their reputations were ruined.
Upon receiving his mother’s call, Wei De’s looks turned ugly when he heard her cries.
His current situation was difficult enough. In order to continue living in Ping Cheng and have the chance to get close to Zhai Hua and Jiajia, the penniless and jobless Wei De went to carry sandbags to earn some money out of desperation. While doing hard work and earning a meager salary, the place Wei De could afford in Ping Cheng was no bigger than the small house that Qiao Nan initially rented.
A few months ago, Wei De was still looking down on Qiao Nan. Who knew that in just a few months, his situation became the same as Qiao Nan’s two months ago? What was different was that it wasn’t that Qiao Nan didn’t know how to earn money, but that her hard-earned money was taken away by the Qiao family. As for him, aside from being a coolie, it was either that he couldn’t do other jobs or the bosses didn’t fancy him and were unwilling to hire him.
Wei De’s life in Ping Cheng was tough and he was struggling. Who knew that he would hear such an earth-shattering piece of news when he made a call back to his hometown? “Ah De, Xiao Wei and Wei Xiaomei are really ingrates. Both of them obviously know what kind of situation our family is in. They still dared to sell the house behind our backs. You don’t know that for the past two days, your father and I have been living in the unwanted temple on the mountain. Ah De, you can’t leave us alone. If this continues, the both of us wouldn’t be able to continue living. We can’t survive!”
Previously, they had to leave the prosperous Ping Cheng. But when they returned home, they didn’t even have a house to live in and had to stay in the broken temple for a couple of nights. Every morning when she woke up, Mother Wei would pray that everything was just a nightmare and that when she opened her eyes, all the nightmares would be over.
It was a pity that the piece of ruins before them and the occasional sound of rustling caused by rats running around at night told Mother Wei that it wasn’t a nightmare. How could there be such a real nightmare?
“Mom, don’t cry. I know about this. I’ll think of a solution.” Wei De boasted, but he completely didn’t know where his solution would come from. He could still survive these couple of days because there were some unused medical expenses provided by Zhai Hua back then since he came out of the hospital ahead of time.
Initially, with this amount of money, Wei De was reluctant to find a better place to live in or find an opportunity to start up a small business.
Now that this situation happened in his hometown, Wei De no longer had to think about keeping this amount of money. He couldn’t possibly watch his parents die, right? Furthermore, it was difficult to start a business with this small amount of money in his hands. It might also not be enough to get a place for his parents in the countryside.
Father Wei asked Wei De about the situation. “Ah De, this house is obviously our family’s. Wei Wei, that little rascal, sold the house behind our backs. Can we also file a lawsuit and get that house back? As for money or whatever else, ask those people to demand it from Wei Wei, that little rascal!”
That house belonged to the Wei family and had nothing to do with Wei Xiaomei. Their family had even provided for Wei Xiaomei. Since young, she didn’t go to work or earn money. Where did Wei Xiaomei and Wei Wei have the guts and confidence to snatch away their house? How shameless!
If Zhai Hua could file a lawsuit and get a divorce from his son, then they could also file a lawsuit since Wei Xiaomei and Wei Wei had sold the house behind their backs. If those people couldn’t get their money back from Wei Wei, then they deserved it. Who asked them to mix around with Wei Wei and buy things from him?
At this moment, Father Wei almost regarded Wei Wei as an enemy. He only wished to get the house back through legal means. Father Wei didn’t care if the buyer found Wei Wei trouble or if they couldn’t find Wei Wei and lost both their house and money. He only wanted to give those people who struck a man when he was down a lesson.
Of course, the best result was that these people caught Wei Wei and gave him a beating. Father Wei expressed that he still had Jiajia, a capable and promising granddaughter. The ingrate, Wei Wei, didn’t need to think of stepping into the Wei family’s house again.
If he saw Wei Wei in the future, he would definitely break his legs!
Wei De rubbed his temples. Nobody would have guessed that Wei Wei would take such a drastic measure. “I don’t think we can.”
“Why?!” Wei Wei and Wei Xiaomei were obviously the ones who stole and sold their house. On what basis couldn’t they get the house back? “Didn’t the law protect our people? Our house got snatched away. Why can’t we get it back?”
“That’s because more than ten years ago, the name on that house’s real estate certificate was Wei Xiaomei. It was no longer one of ours.” Father Wei and Mother Wei might have forgotten, but Wei De still remembered. Back then, Wei Xiaomei didn’t want to find another partner. She only wanted to protect her son and stay by Wei De’s side.
As such, it wasn’t a big deal to transfer the house to Wei Xiaomei’s name. After all, she had given birth to a grandson for the Wei family. Wei Xiaomei deserved this house. Things given to Wei Xiaomei were also Wei Wei’s. Wei Wei’s things naturally belonged to the Wei family.
They were a family. It was just a matter of transferring from one pocket to another. Wei De didn’t mind at all whose name was stated on the real estate certificate.
However, the situation today came too suddenly and unexpectedly.
Who knew that Wei Xiaomei, who was so devoted to him, would dare to betray him and leave him? Before leaving, she even sold what little things the Wei family was left with.
