Chapter 3 — House 5 Million Yuan, Selling for 50 Thousand? I Sue My Husband's Family

“Where are you?”

“In my apartment.”

“I came to pick you up.”

“No need, just go on business first, come back and figure it out.”

“Are you okay?”

I hung up the phone, stood up, locked the safe, walked to the window and looked down at the street below, traffic was bustling back and forth as if nothing had ever happened. The world still operates normally, only they don't know that everything is about to change direction. I reopened the photo album, looked at each piece of evidence again, each piece of the puzzle was gradually being completed. My mother-in-law thought that 50,000 yuan could swallow my 5,000,000 yuan house. She thought that by forging a signature she could fool everyone, thinking that I would be the type of woman who would only cry when pressured. But she was wrong. I took out a pen and paper and wrote a clear list, item by item, as if preparing for a battle with a predetermined outcome. Original house purchase contract, original red book, fake contract photo, camera cut photo, bank transfer history. Five cards, five trump cards. Just release it, no one can escape. I looked in the mirror, my eyes were a little red but there were no tears, the corners of my lips curled up into a very slight smile. Tong Thien Thien, are you ready? I stayed in the apartment for a whole day, didn't go anywhere, just sat and rearranged things one by one, as if I was adjusting the chessboard before making a decisive move. The phone suddenly rang, it was Tieu Chu, the broker friend I asked for help.

"Miss Thien, I have already contacted your brother-in-law about the matter you asked me."

“What did she say?”

"As soon as I heard the price was 6,000,000 yuan, my eyes lit up. I agreed to sign immediately, no questions asked."

I laughed softly.

“When is the appointment?”

“Tomorrow, ten o'clock in the morning, at the contract signing center.”

“Okay, I will bring a lawyer tomorrow.”

Tieu Chu hesitated for a moment, his voice lowered slightly.

“Are you really planning to do that, after all, you are your husband's family.”

“When they touched my house, did they think I was family?”

The other end was silent. The call ended. I texted the lawyer again.

“Lawyer Liu, tomorrow at ten o'clock, the center will sign the contract, I brought all the documents.”

He answered very briefly: “Okay.” I reopened my phone, looked at each piece of evidence again, fake contracts, camera photos, red books... all in my hand. That night, I slept very well. No dreams, no insecurity, as if the outcome was known in advance. The next morning, at nine thirty, I approached the contract signing center but didn't go in right away, just sat in the car waiting. The phone vibrated, it was a text message from Tieu Chu.

"Miss Thien, my brother-in-law's whole family is here. I'm so excited. I keep asking when I will receive 6,000,000 yuan."

I only answered with one word: “Yes.” At nine fifty, I opened the car door and got out. Pushing open the glass door and entering, the scene inside made me almost laugh. Ly My My sat on the sofa, crossed her legs, holding a cup of coffee, looking leisurely like a true homeowner. Trieu Dai Dung sat next to him, scrolling through his phone, while his mother-in-law stood nearby, her face full of anticipation. The three of them were all laughing. It was as if 6,000,000 yuan was already in the bag. Ly My My was the first person to see me.

“What are you doing here?”

“Come see how you sell my house.”

Her expression immediately darkened.

“What is your house? This is my house!”

“You bought it with 50,000 yuan?”

"Correct!" She stood up.

“Here is the contract, black and white paper!”

The mother-in-law also quickly intervened.

“Thien Thien, don't disrupt, today My My signed a big contract, 6,000,000 yuan, don't mess it up!”

I smiled slightly.

“Mom is coming too?”

“How can I not come, it's 6,000,000 yuan!” Her eyes were bright.

"After selling this house, My My will change to a big house, and mother will also be happy!"

Trieu Dai Dung raised his head and looked at me, his voice annoyed.

“Sister-in-law, go, don't interfere with our work.”

I didn't move. At that moment, Tieu Chu walked out from inside, holding the contract in his hand.

"Miss Ly, the contract has been prepared. Please take a look and sign it if there's no problem."

Ly My My took it, didn't bother to read it, turned straight to the last page.

“Where to sign?”

She picked up a pen and scribbled her name. Trieu Dai Dung also signed. Mother-in-law stood next to her and urged her continuously.

“Hurry up, hurry up, sign and receive money!”

After signing, Ly My My pushed the contract towards Tieu Chu.

“Done, where is the money?”

Tieu Chu smiled.

“Wait a minute, the buyer is about to arrive.”

The person who walked in… was me. Behind is lawyer Luu. Ly My My was stunned.

“What are you doing?”

I didn't answer, I went straight to the table, picked up the contract I had just signed and looked at it.

“Ly My My, the lady who sold my house, have you asked me yet?”

“Nonsense talk!” she banged the table.

“I bought this house for 50,000 yuan! There is a contract!”

“That contract is fake.”

“You're a fake!”

Mother-in-law also rushed forward.

“Song Qian Qian! What do you mean? It was you who signed to sell the house, now you want to flip it?"

“I never signed.”

“On the contract is my name!”

“It's the fake lady.”

Her face turned red.

“You talk nonsense!”

At this time, lawyer Luu spoke up.

“According to the law, arbitrarily disposing of property that does not belong to one's ownership is void.”

Ly My My glared.

"What do I have no right to? This house was bought for me by my mother!"

Lawyer Luu pushed his glasses back, his voice calm.

"She knew clearly that the house did not belong to her but still sold it for 6,000,000 yuan. This behavior shows signs of property fraud."

“What?”

"The value is especially large, the penalty range can be ten years or more."

Ly My My's face immediately turned pale. She turned to her mother. Mother-in-law also panicked.

“Don't scare people! What ten years? This is a family matter!”

Lawyer Luu laughed.

“Forging contracts, appropriating assets worth 5,000,000 yuan, this is not a family matter, but a criminal case.”

Trieu Dai Dung stood up.

“If you say it's a crime, then it's a crime?”

The lawyer put a file on the table.

“This is the original house purchase contract, the original red book, and evidence to compare with the fake contract that you used.”

Trieu Dai Dung looked over and fell silent. Ly My My's legs were weak, she had to hold on to the table to stand steady.

“Sister-in-law… you're just kidding, right?”

“Do I look like I'm joking?”

My mother-in-law rushed forward and pointed straight at my face.

“Song Qian Qian! Are you planning to put your brother-in-law in jail? Are you still human?”

I looked straight at the finger pointing at me.

“When you forged my signature, did you consider me human?”

“When did I fake it?” she started rioting.

“That's me signing!”

“Then call the police.”

I took out my phone. The mother-in-law immediately rushed forward and grabbed it.
