Landlady who likes to hoard land

Wang Chengyu didn't want to come. Xu Chenxing and his wife didn't know about their divorce. Xu Jianren wanted to see how his parents would divide the property without knowing about his divorce.

They also promised to give all the properties they received to Xu Wen and Xu Yao.

That's why she came with the mindset of watching a show.

Xu Qian and her husband, and Xu Shan and her husband, also entered the house one after the other.

He pretended not to see Xu Jianren and Wang Chengyu.

They couldn't be bothered to pay attention; everyone had already fallen out, so there was no need to pretend to be siblings anymore.

"Dad, didn't you tell me to come back today to discuss the village's demolition? Are they coming to listen in?"

Xu Jianren pointed at Xu Qian and Xu Shan and addressed Xu Chenxing.

His meaning was clear: the two of them were not entitled to a share of the house, nor did they need to discuss the demolition issue.

Xu Jianren believes that Xu Chenxing and his wife have already spent enough money on their two daughters, as they already own a house, a car, and a shop.

The house in his hometown is Xu Jianren's bottom line. According to their local customs, the family's homestead can only be inherited by his sons and grandsons.

Xu Jianren grew up here, so his thinking must have been influenced by it.

In his mind, the house must belong to him.

Xu's mother, oblivious to social cues, bluntly said, "We agreed that whatever you have, your sister and younger sister should have too."

Xu Jianren raised an eyebrow. "Mom, if I remember correctly, it was after I got married that you said that if Cheng Yu had something, Xu Qian and Xu Shan should also have something."

How come now it's become that they want everything I have?

What do they have? They have shops, why don't I?

Xu's mother was at a loss for words. She was unaware that Xu Chenxing had given Xu Jianren one million last time, so she didn't know how to refute him now.

After struggling for a long time,

“That was before. We’re talking about demolition and relocation now.”

Xu's mother is unreasonable and doesn't care what you say.

"Mom, you and Dad said during the New Year that all the wealth you've built was for me, but you've already changed your minds before the news has even cooled down! You guys are faster than Sichuan opera face-changing!"

"You've been lying to us all these years. Dad, have you already planned this all along?"

Xu Chenxing glared at his mother, who then sat down and remained silent.

"Everyone sit down and talk."

The sofa was occupied by Xu Qian and Xu Shan, while Xu Jianren brought two chairs, one for himself and one for Wang Chengyu.

"Tell me what conclusions you've reached!"

Xu Jianren spoke first, while Wang Chengyu's main goal today was to go through the motions and remain invisible.

She discovered that Xu Jianren now becomes incredibly combative whenever he faces his family members; if he doesn't manage to kill them, he's not performing well.

All she needs to do is watch the show quietly.

"Cough...cough..."

Xu Chenxing cleared his throat, striking a pose as if he were giving a meeting to his employees before speaking.

"I called you all here today because our village is going to be demolished."

Your mother and I discussed it, and the young people don't want to go back to the countryside anymore. Houses in the countryside aren't very useful anyway, and the quality of life is poor and the environment is bad. It's better to take all the cash.

I called you all here today to ask for your opinions. Please share your thoughts.

“Dad, I agree with you, we need cash.” Xu Qian shook off her fat and agreed with Xu Chenxing’s opinion.

"Dad, we agree too." Xu Shan said slowly, touching her newly done peach-pink nails, the sparkling little diamonds on her pink nails gleaming.

Xu Jianren didn't say anything. He didn't want the house; he wanted cash, but he wanted to go against them even more.

Xu Chenxing glanced at Xu Jianren, and seeing that he didn't seem inclined to speak, continued...

"This is my plan: if we take all the cash, our three houses will give us about 3.5 million yuan in compensation."

"Your mother and I will keep 500,000 yuan, that's enough for our retirement. The remaining 3 million will go to your three families, one million each!"

As Xu Chenxing spoke, he looked up at Xu Jianren again.

Xu Qian and Xu Shan were overjoyed; they had expected to get a share of the money, but they never imagined they would get so much.

"Dad, Mom, we're willing, we'll do whatever you say."

The two sisters were overjoyed, their smiles so wide their eyes disappeared.

Xu Jianren remained expressionless, but his heart grew colder and colder, and he couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"Heh heh, how ridiculous!"

"Mom and Dad, are you getting old and your memory is failing you, or did you make a mistake?"

Even if you say you want to divide it equally, shouldn't you at least get your homestead land? How can you include my house in the division? This way of dividing it shows you don't respect me, your son, at all!

Xu Jianren's heart sank lower and lower. He felt that his bottom line had been trampled on again and again until it was completely crushed to the ground.

“Your house was also built with money from our dad, so of course it should be included in the profits.”

Xu Qian crossed her arms, glanced sideways at Xu Jianren with disdain.

In her eyes, her younger brother was incompetent. He was already old but still sponged off his parents. The whole family relied on their parents to make a living, and her brother was working in their father's factory. She wondered how much of a bargain he was getting!

The house was built by her father, so he definitely had the final say.

Xu Shan wisely kept quiet and let Xu Qian take the lead.

"Sister, I told you, that's my wedding house. If my wedding house is going to be divided equally, then the houses and shops that Dad bought for you should also be divided together."

Xu Jianren's cold gaze swept over Xu Qian and Xu Shan, finally landing on Xu Chenxing.

Xu Chenxing planned to leave the 500,000 yuan he had set aside to Xu Jianren, believing he was already favoring Xu Jianren. However, Xu Jianren was the first to object to his plan.

He thought about it and realized that Xu Jianren's words seemed to make sense. After all, it was Xu Jianren's marital home, and their father-son relationship was already strained; it couldn't be allowed to worsen. Just as he was about to speak, Xu Jianren spoke again.

"If you're determined to bully me, there's nothing I can do."

"Dad, you divide children based on family ties, which means you see sons and daughters as the same, right?"

“Of course they’re all the same. This is a new era. Where are those old ideas now?” Xu’s mother said again, inviting further criticism.

“Okay, then when you die, the three of us will take turns breaking the basin, and we’ll each visit your graves as a family for a year. We’ll split everything equally.”

Oh, right, Dad, Mom, according to your plan, Xu Wen and Xu Yao don't get any!

Xu Chenxing hadn't recovered from Xu Jianren's earlier words about taking turns smashing the basin and visiting the grave after they died, and when he heard that Xu Wen and Xu Yao weren't included, he became unhappy.

"Of course you are! Aren't you all family? Your future belongs to them."

"Oh! Dad, so that's how it's calculated. So Chengyu, Xuwen, and Xuyao ​​are all counted under my name, which means your grandsons are also counted under your daughter's name."

Chengyu, you're losing out by marrying into my family. I might as well marry into your family; we'll share the sons and daughters equally anyway.

The fact that Xu Wen and Xu Yao both have the surname Xu doesn't really matter!

I might as well marry into your family; given Xu Wen's grandmother's ways, she'll surely give us another house.

That way, we can earn enough for another house.

Xu Jianren pretended to suddenly realize something and said to Wang Chengyu.

Wang Chengyu tried hard not to laugh out loud, keeping a straight face.

"Hmm, I think it's a good idea. My mom loves a big family and lots of fun!"

Seeing Wang Chengyu cooperate, Xu Jianren continued to attack.

“Xu Shan, your mother-in-law’s house is about to be demolished, right? I’ll take some time to go to your in-laws’ house and talk to them, so that when the demolition happens, they can split the compensation equally between the children, just like our father did.”

Xu Shan's face immediately fell. Her husband's family lived in a more remote area and she had heard that their home would soon be demolished, where the preference for sons over daughters was even more pronounced.

Their family holds a very high position in their husband's family, so if the house is really demolished, it will definitely belong to them.

If Xu Jianren really goes and causes trouble, the outcome is hard to predict.
