Chapter 1178: Accompanying Gu Dongxing to Buy a House (Part 4)

"Old man Luo is getting old and wants to live with his children and grandchildren. He intended to take in Luo Guo’s family of six. But I thought about how heartless they were back then. If they move in, our lives will definitely not be easy, so I don’t want them to move in.

I said, ’They severed ties with us more than ten years ago. In these years, have they come to see us once? Have they sent us a grain of food or a penny? No! If it weren’t for Jiajia marrying the production team leader’s son to take care of us, with the team leader looking after us, we would have died long ago.

Besides, even if they originally lived here, they lost the right to live here when they severed ties with us and, to show loyalty, offered up this courtyard that didn’t belong to them.’

Luo Guo cried and shouted, saying, ’Back then, we had no choice. We severed ties to keep a root in the Luo Family, otherwise, we would have been sent down just like you. As for offering up the courtyard, it wasn’t my wish, but those people forced me to. As long as you let us move in, we will be filial to you.’

The old lady wiped away tears and continued, ’I told Luo Guo, "It doesn’t matter what you say now, this house is my dowry. Without my consent, no one can move in."

’I knew that if Luo Guo moved in, this courtyard would become his, and my daughter wouldn’t have a share. Therefore, no matter what he said, I refused to let him move in. My dowry will only be left for my daughter, and I want to keep this asset for her.

If this courtyard weren’t my dowry, and if the property certificate didn’t have my name on it, I’m afraid he would have moved in by force.

But unexpectedly, since Luo Guo couldn’t move back, he let his wife come and make trouble every few days. The most severe incident was when she brought their children and came to mourn, crying for her late mother-in-law. She said if her mother-in-law were alive, she would never let them squeeze into a tiny house while leaving such a large courtyard empty.

Old man Luo was already in poor health. After being tormented by them a few times, with a heart full of resentment, he had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and passed away on the spot.’

As the old lady spoke of this, tears flowed from her eyes, and her face was full of sorrow.

’After holding the funeral for the old man, Luo Guo actually had someone inform me that in order to take care of a lonely old woman like me, he decided to move into the courtyard to look after me. I knew that once the old man was gone, no one could restrain him. If I let him move in, he would most likely end up driving me out.

Therefore, I wanted to sell this courtyard and take the money to the countryside to live with my daughter. So—’

Granny Luo looked at Mengyu: ’I have the right to sell this courtyard, but timid people dare not buy it because my stepson will not give up coveting this place. I won’t hide it from you, that Luo Guo is a minor official in this area, currently the head of the local police station.’

Upon hearing the old lady’s words, Le De was startled: Has someone died in this courtyard?

As for what police head, he didn’t care at all.

Mengyu, however, thought: Why is it that there are always such issues with the courtyards she wishes to buy?

Suddenly, she remembered the three-entry courtyard her father transferred to her in Beijing. That Yun family seemed to have problems too. She wondered if they would surrender the house willingly within the deadline?
