Li Xiang returned home in a daze.

Uncle Li and Mother Li have already bought the house and are smiling from ear to ear in the living room, admiring the new red property certificate.

When they saw Li Xiang coming back, they hurriedly hid the property certificate behind them.

Li Xiang looked at them with empty eyes, not wanting to say anything. He felt so tired and just wanted to go back to his room and calm down.

Uncle Li quickly stood up, pulled Li Xiang to sit on the sofa, and said with a beaming smile.

"Think about it, uncle knows you're upset! But think about it carefully, we bought this house at the biggest discount, and it's in a prime location with great room for appreciation. Uncle will buy it to help your cousin get married first! When the child is born, the daughter-in-law is stable, and their family members no longer object! Uncle will sell the house, return the money to you, and use the remaining money to buy another house for your cousin!"

"You have nothing to lose! It's the best of both worlds, isn't it?"

Li Xiang looked up at his uncle who had a calculating look on his face, and said in a dry voice, "Are you so kind?"

"What are you talking about, kid? We are all family. Your cousin is your real brother! Will your uncle and cousin harm you? Will they take your money for themselves?"

"You are still young, and you think too simply! If you don't take advantage of the fact that you and Meng Zhidong have just divorced, and he still has some feelings for you, when Meng Zhidong remarries in the future and has a new wife, will he still show you some mercy?"

"Meng Zhidong didn't send you to jail because he still has feelings for you! Strike while the iron is hot! Otherwise, when it gets cold, everything will get cold too!"

Li Xiang listened to his uncle's words blankly. As expected, there was a sequel.

Uncle Li sat next to Li Xiang and continued talking with a smile.

"Meng Zhidong still has feelings for you, otherwise he wouldn't sell us a house worth tens of millions for just over four million. The salesperson said this is an unprecedented discount!"

"Real estate is really lucrative! It's half price!"

Li Xiang didn't say anything.

What's the 50% discount?

What huge profits?

Meng Zhidong knew that she only had five million in her card, so he sold it to them for more than four million.

Uncle Li thought he was getting the original price, but in fact Meng Zhidong was losing money.

"Think about it, your uncle and your mother have discussed it. We should buy a few more houses in that community. Even if we don't wait for the value to appreciate, we can still make a lot of money by selling them!"

"Go talk to Zhidong and ask him to sell us a few more buildings."

Li Xiang laughed in anger, "What can I buy it with? Do you have money?"

"Your house! I inquired and it can be sold for more than 20 million! There are only three people in your family. It will be so empty to live in such a big house! The water, electricity and property fees are not cheap. It's hard to maintain it with your current financial situation! Why don't you sell it and get a smaller one to live in? Use the remaining money to buy a house and then sell it. Money makes money. What a great thing!"

Uncle Li said this, his eyes narrowed into slits with laughter.

Mother Li thought what her brother said made sense and kept nodding in agreement.

"That's a good idea, let's do it! I have already contacted the buyer, we can lower the price a little, and the other party is willing to pay the full amount!"

Li Xiang stood up from the sofa, "What? You want to sell this house? Impossible, this house must not be sold!"

This was the last bit of dignity left in her marriage.

Living here, you can also come into contact with some people from the upper class, and maybe you can build up some connections and make plans for the future.

If she sells this place, she won't be able to come back.

What's the point of saying money makes money? It's just an excuse to deceive children.

Once the money is in their hands, will they return it to her?

She knows them so well!

Besides, Meng Zhidong had already said such harsh words, how could she still have the face to ask Meng Zhidong for a discount?

Wasn't it painful enough for her to be slapped in the face?

What nostalgia? Meng Zhidong no longer has any feelings for her at all.

"Kid, can you use some brains? You don't have a job now, and your parents don't have jobs either. We have no source of income, so don't we have to think of ways to plan for your future life? This is such a good opportunity, there won't be a next time if you miss it!" Uncle Li raised his voice when he saw Li Xiang disagreed.

Li Xiang pushed his uncle away, left a word, and rushed back to the room.

"I won't agree to this! I will fight anyone who dares to touch this house!"

Li Xiang rushed back to the room and began to rummage through the drawers looking for the property certificate.

She was afraid that her mother would take possession of the house, so she hid the property certificate.

I opened the secret compartment at the bottom of the cabinet and found it was empty.

Where is the property certificate?

When Meng Zhidong bought this house for their family, it was in her parents' name.

If they went to sell the house with the property certificate, they could sell it on the spot without having to get her consent.

She rushed out of the room and asked her mother where the property certificate was.

Mother Li rolled her eyes, turned her face away and said nothing.

Li Xiang asked his father who was sitting in the restaurant without saying a word.

"Dad! If we sell this place, where will we live? This is our home! Are you going to listen to your uncle and sell this house? I can't get a discount from Meng Zhidong anymore! Do you think it was the golden age of real estate a few years ago by flipping houses to make a profit? Houses are hard to sell now!"

Father Li looked at Li Xiang and said in a muffled voice, "Your cousin has lost his job now! He has no education, so he can't get into many big companies. He can't do hard labor! How can he raise a child without a stable income? After all, flipping houses is a source of income that can support life!"

Li Xiang was so angry that he almost laughed. "It's my cousin again! What does it have to do with you whether he has a job or not? You control him too much, don't you? I am your daughter. Is my cousin related to you by blood? Can you think about me? From childhood to adulthood, you have treated my cousin as your own son, but what about me? What do you want me to do without this house? Will I have a job? It's not easy for me to find a job!"

Father Li hesitated to speak, thought for a while, pulled Li Xiang into the kitchen, closed the door, and spoke to Li Xiang in a low voice.

"Actually, your cousin is your biological brother."

"What did you say?" Li Xiang raised the last syllable of his voice, unable to believe it.

Father Li looked outside again before continuing.

It turned out that Li Xiang's uncle was infertile and his aunt was demanding a divorce, so Li Xiang's parents gave their newly born eldest son to his uncle's family for adoption.

After all, we are all family, and the family’s financial situation is not good. Raising a son together by two families can also share the pressure.

The elders all knew about this, but my uncle was too proud to let others know that he was an incapable man, so he didn't tell the younger generation about it.

Li Xiang gasped and shook his head in shock, "How could this happen? Even if this is the case... you can't use my things to support others! This is mine... mine..."

"Think about it, why don't you understand? He's your own brother! Can you just watch your own brother not get married and your sister-in-law abort the baby?"

"You are the only one in our family who has some potential. We have to make a living and live in harmony! You know a lot of people and have a wide network of contacts. If you go find some big shots, they can help us survive."

Li Xiang pushed his father away and ran out.

She cried for a long time on the street, not knowing where to go, so she went to the hospital to find Jiangnan.

She didn't know why she came to Jiangnan.

But wasn't it Jiangnan that caused her life to become so miserable?
