Wang Meijuan splashed the entire basin of chicken blood right onto the buyer's face.
Liu Chunlan splashed another basin onto the real estate agent.
Naturally, the contract in Wang Hao's hands was also covered in blood.
The contract was ruined.
Furious, Wang Hao jumped up and shouted:
"Mom, sis, what are you doing?"
Holding the empty basin, Wang Meijuan pointed at the blood-soaked buyer and screamed:
"Get out, do you hear me? Our family's house is not for sale.
"It will never be for sale!"
His face covered in blood, the buyer could barely see the way as he turned and left.
The real estate agent was about to leave too, while Liu Chunlan bellowed behind him:
"Did you hear that? Our house is not for sale! If you dare bring anyone else here, I'll break your legs!"
The room reeked of blood.
Wang Hao was going crazy. "Why? What exactly are you trying to do?
"I told you not to make a scene! Couldn't we just handle this quietly and peacefully?"
"No!"
Wang Meijuan stood in front of Lin Wanyi, hands on her hips:
"Let me make this perfectly clear. This is the Wang family's house; it has absolutely nothing to do with you, Lin Wanyi.
"If you want a divorce, just get lost. Don't even think about selling our house."
Lin Wanyi laughed. "Wang Meijuan, your mother didn't love you enough to even put you through elementary school, did she?
"Who owns the house depends on whose name is on the deed, not on what you say or your childish tantrums."
As she spoke, she pulled the property deed from her bag:
"Wang Meijuan, look closely. Owners: Lin Wanyi, Wang Hao.
"Which one of your blind eyes sees the name Wang Meijuan written on here?"
Wang Meijuan knew she was in the wrong, but she had never been one to reason.
So, she continued to make a scene:
"I don't care! I live here now, so this house is mine.
"Right of residence, do you understand? I looked it up on my phone and consulted a lawyer.
"Lin Wanyi, don't try to bully me. Since we live here, we have the right of residence.
"If we don't agree, you can't sell it."
Lin Jiajun almost laughed out loud:
"Are you an idiot? Do you even know what right of residence means?
"You stay here for a few days and the house is suddenly yours? Have you paid a single cent in rent?
"By your logic, I've stayed here for a few days too, so does that mean I get a share?"
Wang Meijuan gaped at him:
"Are you joking? The Wang family's house has nothing to do with you! How can you be so shameless?"
"You're talking about being shameless?"
Lin Jiajun immediately snapped back:
"You have the nerve to stay in my sister's house? Let me ask you, did you pay a single dime for this place?
"Did you even buy a single bowl? How do you have the audacity to move in?
"Get out right now, or I'll throw you all out myself."
Wang Meijuan wasn't intimidated in the slightest. "Heh, the buyer already ran off. Do you really think you can still sell this house?
"Who would dare buy it?"
"I'll buy it!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the buyer who had just been splashed with chicken blood returned, wearing a fresh change of clothes:
"I'm still buying it. Come on, the offer is still one million. Let's sign the contract."
Behind him, the real estate agent, who had also changed his clothes, handed a new contract to Wang Hao:
"Just sign right here."
Wang Meijuan was utterly dumbfounded. She looked at Liu Chunlan:
"Wait, are they crazy? What's so great about this house that they still insist on buying it after all this?
"I really don't get it. With so many houses out there, why fixate on this one?
"We're not selling, we won't sell!"
Just a second after she declared they wouldn't sell, Wang Hao finished signing and handed the contract back to the agent:
"I've signed it."
The buyer promptly transferred five hundred thousand to Lin Wanyi as an initial payment.
The remaining five hundred thousand would be transferred to Wang Hao after confirmation at the housing bureau.
The agent carefully tucked the contract away and said to the buyer:
"This house is yours now."
"No!"
Wang Meijuan shrieked like a slaughtered pig:
"No, it's not his! Why should it be his?
"I don't accept this! This is my house, and no one is taking it away!"
Wang Hao sighed and pulled at her:
"Sis, hurry up and pack your things. Don't delay them from moving in."
Wang Meijuan forcefully shook him off:
"You tell me to move and I just move? Wang Hao, you signed the papers and got what you wanted, but did you ever think about me?
"Did you think about Borui?
"What are we supposed to do? We don't have a house in the city, and we just spent twenty or thirty thousand transferring his school, and now you're kicking us out.
"Is this how a brother and an uncle should act? Tell me, is it?"
"What does that have to do with me?"
Wang Hao was getting annoyed by her too:
"He's your son, not mine. You should be going to Li Jun for this, why are you coming to me?
"Sis, you're being ridiculous. I've told you countless times, Li Borui is not my son."
Wang Meijuan was on the verge of despair. She went to grab Liu Chunlan:
"Mom, you tell him. Tell him! What are Borui and I supposed to do?
"We have nowhere else to go. I won't move out, I'd rather die.
"Whoever wants to move in will have to step over my dead body."
Liu Chunlan simply lay flat on the floor:
"This is my house, and no one is allowed in!
"I'm just an old bag of bones, let's see which one of you dares to touch me.
"Try me, and I'll die right in front of you."
Lin Jiajun and Lin Wanyi turned around to leave.
Wang Meijuan quickly grabbed Lin Wanyi:
"Where do you think you're going? Where are you going?
"This isn't settled yet, where are you going?"
Lin Wanyi glared at her:
"This isn't my house anymore, so of course I'm moving out.
"Wang Meijuan, if you don't move out, watch out or they'll beat you up."
Wang Meijuan would rather die than move.
Especially after seeing Lin Wanyi receive five hundred thousand.
She was insanely jealous.
The last time she saw that much money was when Li Jun gave her the bride price for their wedding.
Unfortunately, she only saw that bride price once; she didn't even get to touch it before it went straight into Liu Chunlan's pocket.
For the next dozen years or so, she never had more than a thousand dollars in her pocket.
Five hundred thousand.
Five hundred thousand!
Her jealousy made her want to snatch it away from Lin Wanyi right that second.
She roughly yanked Lin Wanyi's hand:
"What right do you have to take so much money?
"You came into this marriage penniless. You haven't worked a single day or earned a single cent in the eight years we've been married.
"On what grounds do you get to walk away with five hundred thousand now?
"Tell me, why should you?"
Lin Wanyi didn't want to waste her breath on her, so she didn't say a word.
Wang Meijuan thought she had hit a sore spot and left her speechless.
She continued to roar:
"So you have absolutely no right to take this money!
"My brother earned all of it, and it has nothing to do with you.
"If you want to leave and want me to move out, you have to transfer that entire five hundred thousand to me.
"Do you hear me? Transfer the money to me right now, immediately!
"All of it, five hundred thousand!"
Liu Chunlan understood what Wang Meijuan was saying.
Suddenly, she felt it made sense, perfect sense.
She also shouted at Lin Wanyi:
"That's right, give the money back to us and we'll move out immediately. Otherwise, we'll die before we leave!
"Lin Wanyi, I don't acknowledge that contract of yours, I only care about the money."
Lin Wanyi truly felt they had lost their minds. Even Wang Hao couldn't stand it anymore.
He went to pull Liu Chunlan up:
"Mom, stop embarrassing us. Can you please stop humiliating me?
"I'm begging you, just move out. Go back to the village.
"Go find me a local girl to marry, haven't you always said you wanted to find me a local wife?"
"Where am I supposed to find one? How?"
Liu Chunlan was fuming:
"They ask for five or six hundred thousand in bride price right off the bat! The money you get from selling the house isn't even enough to cover the bride price, so where am I supposed to find one for you?
"Am I supposed to trade my life for it?"
