The middle-aged woman looked puzzled. She remembered that she had been living in that room since she came back and there had been no problems. Why would the other party say that?

"Whose is it? Who gave it to you?" These words rang in the middle-aged woman's mind, shocking her like a bolt of lightning.

That was many years ago. The middle-aged woman today was still a beautiful woman in her twenties at that time. She longed for life outside, so she took all the money in the family and left without saying goodbye.

But her life in a foreign country was not easy either, because her family did not have much money to begin with, and she squandered it without thinking, and in a few days she was left alone.

She had no skills and could only rely on begging for a living. If she hadn't met a kind-hearted person who helped her, she might have starved to death in a foreign land.

But before that, she had stayed outside her hometown for several years. When she returned home, her parents had died. She had nowhere to go and could only marry a man.

Unfortunately, perhaps misfortune always favors the unfortunate, her husband died within two years of her marriage, and she became alone again.

Because of debt, her house was taken away by the creditors and she had to live on the streets. In this place where the whole world was plunged into darkness and nothing seemed to be able to accommodate her, she met a family.

They were relatives of her deceased husband. They gave her a place to live and did not make any sarcastic remarks or show any disgust towards her because she was a widow. It was just like they were waiting for a real family member.

That should be the warmest and most comfortable time for this woman other than her original family. Even her original family cannot compare to the feeling of this home.

That woman and the two people in this family are a couple. The three of them are of similar age, talk a lot, and have similar ideas.

In this way, the woman lived there comfortably. During this time, the couple gave birth to a child, a lovely girl, which made the woman very happy.

Later, the child born to the couple grew up day by day, understood things, and became more and more beautiful. Before they knew it, he reached the age to get married. The woman married again and gave birth to a daughter.

The person the child met was very nice and persistent. He treated the child very well after marriage. Unfortunately, at this time, the couple who took her in passed away.

The woman did not cry that day. She just thought that she deserved to get a land deed and lived in this house for many more years.

Because of the warmth of home, she felt that this place, which did not belong to her, was something she should own.

The middle-aged woman's face changed, and she finally remembered the truth of the whole thing, but when she looked at the little girl, she was speechless.

When Li Ying saw her like this, a trace of memories flashed across her eyes. She was only a few years old at that time, and every time she saw this person smiling at her, she did not feel any resistance.

But after that man got married again, everything changed. When that man saw himself, he laughed and cried, and muttered something in his mouth, which was very strange.

And the man who married that person, the old man standing in front of the house now, still had some of the same look in his eyes when he looked at Li Ying, which was deeply hidden greed.

It was also because of this person's strange look that Li Ying gradually distanced herself from him and his wife, and she also vaguely distanced herself from the child they had two years after their marriage.

In particular, not long after she married Su Yue, both of their parents passed away one after another, leaving behind a couple whose red flowers turned white after their wedding.

What is even more heartbreaking is that the person who was originally just a boarder seized the family’s land deed and lived in the house for many years like a cuckoo occupying a magpie’s nest.

But he was not at peace living there, and he still wanted to say something until today. How deep was the friendship between the two families? If it was really a deep friendship, why did he take the land deed by force? Why didn't he just speak up?

Li Ying is not an unreasonable person. If that person had explained or made it clear at that time, she would not have remembered this matter until now.

but.

After she buried her parents and let them rest in peace, she went to collect their belongings. Only then did she realize that her home was no longer her home, but a place occupied by others.

Moreover, this man was very stubborn and refused to give in no matter what. Li Ying, who was very sad about the death of her parents at that time, didn't care about it anymore. She took her things and returned to her and her husband's home, which is the house they live in now.

She thought that this matter was over and she didn't want to mention it again, but now, the old matter was brought up again. How could she bear it?

"Grandma, stop talking about our family all the time. Have you really forgotten who said ten years ago that we only want the house, not the people?"

Li Ying's eyes were very cold, as if they could freeze someone to death. It was an expression she had never shown before.

There was a bang in the middle-aged woman's head and she took several steps back. As she staggered, she remembered that it was what she had said, and there was more than just that.

Li Ying then said coldly, "Who said that wherever she has lived is her house and no one can enter without her consent?"

"Who was it again... holding a broom and chasing my husband and I out of the house? Grandma, who do you think that was?!"

"Yes, yes, yes..." The middle-aged woman's face was pale and her lips were trembling. At this moment, she found that she was really as unbearable and disgusting as Li Ying described.

However, she clearly remembered that she did not do that. She should be a person who is easy to get along with and never act arrogantly towards others, just like she did when she came here just now.

What was going on? What went wrong? The middle-aged woman covered her head with her hands, her wrinkled face tearing in pain, looking extremely hideous.

She kept murmuring, "No, no, it's not like this, it must not be like this, I clearly remember it... It's not like this, it's not like this!"

The woman next to her, the middle-aged woman's daughter, saw her mother acting like a madman and burst into laughter. Her voice was sharp and piercing, extremely unpleasant to the ear.

The old man, who is their husband and father, is the only relatively sober person in the family at the moment, but he is worried about the things in his heart, and the discussions that come into his ears from time to time also make his face bitter.

However, when he heard about the inappropriateness of the house and it was made public, his facial expression changed again, turning red and blue, and finally pale, looking desolate and lonely on his old face.

Su Ping remained silent. It was the first time he saw his mother's eyes like that. He was surprised, but it was only for a moment. She was his mother, and he was not suspicious enough to do that.

But he didn't expect that such a thing had happened in his family's previous generation. No wonder Su Ping felt it was a little strange.

Since his grandparents are no longer alive, where did the original house go? This question has been on Su Ping's mind for a long time, but he has never asked it.

Because he was afraid that bringing this up would remind his parents of sad things, afraid that they would remember the warm time when they were children and had more freedom, and then see again the bitterness of working hard for the family and having no elderly people to take care of them.

Su Yue did not look at anything else, but looked at his wife. Looking at the pain faintly revealed under her cold eyes, he also felt very uncomfortable.

But he didn't know what to say and could only worry in his heart. This big man, who used to be fearless, became much weaker after having a wife.

The villagers did not notice the changes in this family of three from both sides. They were all talking about this and that.

"By the way, is Su Yue's wife's hometown really occupied by someone?"

"You were still young at the time, so you didn't know. At that time, the couple had just held their wedding, and less than half a year had passed before their parents passed away. It was really strange that a happy event was followed by a sad one!"

"That's a bit off topic, isn't it? Aren't you talking about the house?"

"Oh, yes, at that time, it was this Mei Hong, the great aunt of Su Yue's wife, who occupied her parents' original house and even said that this was her house. She said it with such confidence!"

"This... is too shameless!"

"Not only that, didn't you hear me just now? Chasing people away with a broom, that doesn't sound like something a human being would do!"

"Oh, I never thought that a person who looked so kind just now could be so vicious!"

"But since the house has been occupied, why is she making a fuss? She doesn't even try to get it back."

"What do you know? Your parents had just passed away, and you were treated like this. How could you bear it? Besides, if Mei Hong had said it in a nice way, she might not have refused to give it to you!"

The person who answered was a peasant woman with a headscarf on her head. A man carrying a hoe was standing next to her, and he had been standing there ever since.

Everyone was talking about it, and it was as endless as the immeasurable sea water, but what outsiders said was always just what outsiders said and could not be regarded as one's true thoughts.

After thinking it over, the old man looked at Li Ying, the woman who had always made him feel uneasy, and said through gritted teeth, "Xiao... Xiao Ying, please have pity on our family."

"Look at my child's mother and the girl at home. They are in such a state now. I am too old to find a job outside. Just give the house... to us!"

The old man had a pleading look on his face, and his words were filled with bitterness and helplessness, as if Li Ying would be forcing the old man to death if she took back what belonged to her.

The moment these words were spoken, the faces of the three members of the family all darkened, and they stared at the old man with extremely similar eyes, as if they would not tolerate this idea.

The family hadn't spoken yet, but the villagers couldn't help but speak because they had never seen such shameless people.
