Flowers in full bloom

"Hey, Hua girl, long time no see, you are getting more and more beautiful. It seems that after stealing and selling our Tian family's property, you have been eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks every day here, and your appearance has also become more beautiful."

As soon as Lu came down, she looked at her with a triangular eye, and without even saying hello, she started firing at Hua Lei without any hesitation.

"My third cousin and his aunt are really a family. They always say the same thing. They keep saying that I sold the Tian family's property. I want to ask, which of the house and land in Tongde Town that I sold is the Tian family's property? Do you have a house deed or a land deed? If you have one, please show it to me."

"Hmph, you sharp-tongued girl. Everyone knows that your grandfather was a poor scholar who didn't have three copper coins on his body. Yet, he coveted our Tian family's property and deceived my aunt into marrying him. He wanted to take our Tian family's property for himself." Mrs. Lu retorted bluntly.

"My third cousin keeps saying it's the Tian family's property. It makes sense. Then please take out the house deed and the land deed. If you can't take it out, don't keep saying it's the Tian family's property.

When my grandmother got married, you didn't even know which tree to look at ants under? Where is your Tian family's property? Don't keep mentioning our Tian family's property, it's so funny."

“You….” Mrs. Lu’s face turned red.

"What's wrong with me? Did I say anything wrong? Don't forget that you are more than two generations younger than my grandmother. When my grandmother got married at the age of 18, you were not yet born. So, were you and my eldest cousin engaged in the previous life? Return the Tian family's property." Hua Lei was blunt.

"Hua girl, stop being so stubborn. The Hua family's house in Tongde Town, including the house used for the private school, and the fifty acres of land in the countryside of Tongde Town, were all taken over from our Tian family. You have no choice but to admit it." Tian Changshi, who was sitting next to them, said.

"Then may I ask, Third Cousin, how did you get these houses and fields from the Tian family?"

"It's all because of your great-grandfather, that fool, who gave the house and land to Tian Chengcheng as a dowry." Tian Changshi was a little angry.

"My third cousin also said that this house and land were brought to the Hua family as my grandmother's dowry. So they are my grandmother's property. So, is there any rule in the Dasheng Dynasty that says that houses and land cannot be used as dowries?

No, now that my grandmother has passed away, she has left the house and land to her children and grandchildren. Isn't that normal? When did it become the Tian family's property? "Hua Lei asked.

"It's our Tian family's property. A daughter who marries out has no right to inherit the property." Tian Changshi said angrily.

Hua Lei glanced at Tian Changshi and spoke slowly.

"Grandmother didn't inherit the Tian family's property. I remember that after my great-grandfather and great-grandmother passed away, the house in Dade Town and the fields in the countryside were all given to my second uncle. Why, don't you know?"

"Stop quibbling. The houses and fields in Tongde Town also belong to our Tian family. After Tian Chengcheng passed away, the property naturally returned to the Tian family. I am only here to take back Tian Chengcheng's dowry." Tian Changshi was so angry that his voice became much louder.

"Uncle, I can hear you, so you don't need to speak so loudly. You said that my grandmother passed away and the dowry should be returned to the Tian family. Which law of the Great Sheng Dynasty stipulates this?

I remember that there was a rule in the Great Sheng Dynasty that a married daughter could get her dowry back if she divorced her husband. But my grandmother and grandfather did not divorce. They lived in harmony and love for each other all their lives.

After my grandmother passed away, she was buried in the Hua family's cemetery, so how could my third cousin take back her dowry? "

"You are so sharp-tongued..." Tian Changshi was a little annoyed. "Look at this." He took out a few crumpled papers from his pocket and placed them in front of Hualei.

Hua Lei took it suspiciously and took a look. It turned out to be the title deed to the Hua family's house in Tongde Town and the land deed to fifty acres of land in the countryside. Hua Lei looked at it carefully. The title deed and the land deed seemed to be real, but something was wrong at this time.

These two deeds should have been issued when my great-grandfather bought the house and land. At that time, my grandmother Hua was still unmarried, so the house and land were indeed the property of the Tian family.

However, later, when Grandmother Hua got married, my great-grandfather gave her the house and land as a dowry, and he must have gone through the transfer procedures again.

What Tian Changshi took out now should be the original house deed and land title, but the date was changed to a few months before Grandmother Hua's death.

"This was arranged by your grandmother before she passed away. She returned the house and land to the Tian family a long time ago. Please take a good look at it."

“Uncle, as far as I know, you can read a few words, although you may not be very familiar with the laws of the Great Sheng Dynasty.

However, you should also know that anyone who forges house deeds or land deeds without authorization and defrauds others of their money will be beaten and imprisoned once discovered.

If the amount is huge, you will be exiled to the border. Uncle, are you sure this house deed is real?"

"You..." Tian Changshi didn't expect Hua Lei to be so familiar with the laws of Dasheng, nor did he expect that she could see through his forged contract at a glance.

He spent several hundred coins to ask a man in town who specialized in imitating seal carving to forge this, just to fool Hua Lei.

Unexpectedly, Hua Lei saw through it at a glance. "Of course it's real, how could the contract be fake?" Tian Changshi said stubbornly.

"Okay, since my third cousin said it's true, then let's take it as true." Hua Lei slowly folded the deed, and Tian Changshi was delighted. Is that all? Great.

My father kept saying that this trick wouldn't work and that he couldn't fool this girl. But now it works, he said, glancing at Tian Dayou who was sitting at the top, feeling a little smug.

"Brother Xiaoqun, take these two deeds to the government office in Dongcheng District and have Brother Youtian verify whether they are authentic. He happens to be handling deeds for people in the government office recently, so he is familiar with this area."

Hua Lei slowly handed the folded deed to Xiao Qun who had been standing next to her, and emphasized the word "yamen" when speaking.

"You, what are you doing? You still dare to doubt that this deed is fake? It was handled by your grandmother herself." Tian Changshi bluffed.

"Whether it was handled by my grandmother herself, the people in the government office will know at a glance. I can't tell whether this deed is real or not, but it doesn't matter. It's enough as long as the people in the government office can recognize it.

If the government also says it's true, I will immediately give you the money from selling the house and the land. If the government says it's false..." Hua Lei deliberately dragged out her tone.

"I don't know if my third cousin will be beaten with a stick or put in jail. I heard that if the amount is more than five hundred taels, he will be sentenced to three years in jail."
