Little Fox

Upon hearing that from Shen Jun, Wen Nian knew that things were settled. She thanked him repeatedly with a smile, and rode away on her bike like the wind, and within a few seconds, she had ridden far away.

Shen Jun looked at Wen Nian, who no longer had the slightest appearance of being sick, and chuckled, "You little fox."

Wen Nian rode her bike back home and it was already 4:30. Taking a minibus from the school to the town only cost 10 yuan, but it was time-consuming and she had to go to the station to buy a ticket. So, she decided to take a taxi.

Wen Nian's hometown was only about 40 kilometers away from Hai City. However, she was in a hurry now, so she had to spend more money.

Within a little over half an hour, they arrived at Lotus Town. The taxi drove all the way to the entrance of the village, and the driver rounded up the fare to the nearest whole number, charging 45 yuan.

Linxi Village, where Wen Nian's house was located, was next to the street in town. She walked for a few minutes and arrived at home.

The Wen family moved to the city six years ago in order to provide their children with better education. They only go back to their old home during the Chinese New Year. Without any people around, the two wooden courtyards have become even more dilapidated due to years of neglect.

"Big brother and sister-in-law, don't be too greedy. We are all dad and mom's children. Why can't the family of the second child have a share of this house?"

As soon as Wen Nian arrived at the door of her home, the sound of a dispute in the courtyard had already reached her ears.

Wen Nian didn't rush to go inside, she took out her phone and dialed a number. After a few minutes, she finally walked into the house.

Zhou Mei looked at her aggressive sister-in-law in front of her and pounded her chest in anger, "Sister-in-law, when we divided the family, we agreed that all the money in the family would go to you. This old house belongs to the first child of the family. Whether you acknowledge it or not, it's the fact! The village chief was the witness at that time, and we will never sell this ancestral home. Give up on this idea!"

After saying that, Zhou Mei turned to Wen Xing and said, "Hubby, go find the old village chief!"

Wen Xing wanted to look for her, but Li Ke immediately gave her family a look. Li Ke's two brothers then blocked Wen Xing's path.

Wen Nian quickly walked forward and went to the side of Zhou Mei, saying, "Dad, Mom!"

Zhou Mei looked at her daughter who had suddenly appeared and asked in surprise, "Why are you back here? Aren't you supposed to be in school?"

Wen Nian couldn't explain now and could only say perfunctorily, "I'll tell you about this later."

Wen Nian pretended to be ignorant as she watched the confrontation in the courtyard. "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, what are you doing?"

Li Ke's daughter is also studying in the No. 1 High School, but in a different class. She had already heard about how after entering Yi Zhong, Wen Nian became vain, selfish and self-interested. With a sad expression, she said, "Ah, Wen Nian, your parents even schemed against their family members. In the future, you have to be more careful and make sure they don't transfer all the family's money to your brother. Otherwise, you won't get a single penny."

"This old house is already so rundown. It would be nice if wealthy people who like this kind of classical courtyard would spend money to maintain and renovate it. If it is left to deteriorate further, it will become even less valuable. I think your parents are waiting for you to get married and then sell the house, so that the money can be given to your brother in a legitimate way."

In her previous life, at this time, Wen Nian had already dropped out of school. So when her parents went back to their hometown, she followed them all the way. At that time, Li Ke also used this trick to sow discord between them.

At that time, Wen Nian was blinded by benefits and successfully persuaded by Li Ke. She also felt that if she did not get the money in time, the money from selling the house would have nothing to do with her in the future, so she secretly promised Li Ke to help her persuade her parents to sell the old residence.

Back then, if it weren't for her, her parents wouldn't have sold the house. In the end, the money was split equally with the family of the second child. Each family received 100,000 yuan. After that, she received 20,000 yuan from Li Ke.

However, in reality, this house belongs to Wen Xing. When the family split up, the second branch of the Wen family disliked the old house and wanted to live in a new brick house. They proposed to rebuild on another piece of land in the village owned by the Wen family. Wen's father divided two-thirds of the money to Wen Xun, the second branch, as he needed money to build a new house. All the family's fields and other properties were divided equally.

However, Wen Xun refused to agree with the property division. He used the excuse of not wanting to live in the old house and requested to take away all the money. In fact, Wen Xun only used half of the money he received to build a new farmhouse courtyard. However, due to his dishonest nature, Wen Xun kept refusing to agree with Old Master Wen's proposal for the property division.
