Chapter 9 — House 5 Million Yuan, Selling for 50 Thousand? I Sue My Husband's Family

“If the police ask, I will clearly say that the contract was faked by my mother and the house was taken over by my sister.”

Ly My My collapsed.

“You… you really did that?”

“You guys started first.”

Trieu Dai Dung pulled her.

“Let's go, don't talk anymore.”

The mother-in-law stood still, tears falling.

“Raised it for thirty years, then finally turned to help outsiders.”

Ly Hao Nhien did not answer, just stood still, his eyes lowered. I looked at my mother-in-law, without the slightest bit of softness in my heart. Is she crying? When I was kicked out of the house, did anyone shed a single tear for me? Ly Hao Nhien walked up to me and held my hand tightly.

“Wife, I'm sorry, I made you suffer.”

I looked at him, smiling slightly.

“It's okay, I'll go home now.”

Mother-in-law looked at the two of us, wiped her tears, turned around and left. Ly My My followed. Trieu Dai Dung was the last person to walk out the door. Before leaving, he turned to look at me.

“Sister-in-law, this is not over yet.”

The door closes. The living room immediately fell silent. Ly Hao Nhien hugged me.

“I'm at a disadvantage.”

“It's okay, I recorded everything.”

He stopped.

“Are you recording again?”

“It's a habit.”

He took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

“What is this?”

“The commitment letter my mother wrote, I forced her to sign.”

I took it and read every line.

"Vuong Guilan admitted to forging the contract, agreed to compensate Tong Qianqian 200,000 yuan, and vacated the house within three days."

Below is the signature and fingerprint. I looked up at him.

“When did you do it?”

“Before I go home, I'll stop by my mom's place.”

“She will sign?”

“If you say you don't sign, you'll go to the police station.”

I laughed.

“You are more cruel than me.”

“I learned from you.”

I leaned on his shoulder.

“So next?”

“Wait for them to move out.”

“Do you think they will clean up?”

"Sure." he gently kissed my hair.

“They have no choice.”

Three days later, the mediation room was in court. I sat on the left, next to lawyer Luu, and in front of me was a neat desk of papers. Opposite are mother-in-law, Ly My My and Trieu Dai Dung. As soon as her mother-in-law entered, her face fell, unable to hide her frustration. The judge is a middle-aged woman, wearing glasses and serious eyes.

“Plaintiff Tong Thien Thien, what is your request?”

Lawyer Luu spoke for me.

“Request the defendant to return the house, compensate 200,000 yuan, including mental damage, moving expenses, loss of income and lawyer fees.”

The judge turned to the opposite side.

“What does the defendant have to say?”

Mother-in-law banged the table.

"If you're from the same family, why would you ask for money?"

The judge tapped the table lightly.

“Please keep order.”

“Keep what, keep it!” she pointed directly at me.

"She's my daughter-in-law, but she's suing her mother-in-law, is there any reason?"

The judge looked at her, his voice cold.

“This is the court, please pay attention to what you say.”

Ly My My sat next to her, her voice weak.

“Judge, we don't have money, at most we can only compensate 10,000 yuan.”

“10,000 yuan?” Lawyer Luu laughed lightly.

“The assets involved are 5,000,000 yuan, you compensate 10,000 yuan?”

“We really don't have money…” Ly My My started to cry.

"I'm pregnant, my husband only earns three thousand a month..."

The judge interrupted.

“Defendant, did you occupy the plaintiff's house?”

Mother-in-law immediately intervened.

“Occupy what, it's my son's house!”

“Whose name is on the certificate of ownership?”

I took out the red book and held it up. The judge opened it See and read clearly.

“Tong Thien Thien, private property.”

Mother-in-law is still stubborn.

"She is my daughter-in-law, she belongs to the Ly family!"

The judge glanced at her.

“The law does not have that provision.”

Mother-in-law fell silent. The judge took out another document.

"I had a similar case, the mother-in-law voluntarily sold her daughter-in-law's house before marriage, and was sentenced to three years in prison and compensated for all damages."

The mother-in-law's face changed.

“That was somewhere else…”

“The law applies equally.”

"Your case is no longer a civil dispute, but has criminal signs."

Ly My My's legs were soft.

“Judge, we didn't mean to…”

“Whether it was intentional or not, the law will decide.”

The judge turned to me, his eyes sharp.

“Plaintiff, are you determined to pursue responsibility?”

I nodded, without hesitation.

“Still investigating.”

The judge turned to her mother-in-law, her voice cold as ice.

“If the plaintiff insists, I can sign the arrest warrant right here.”

Her face immediately turned pale.

"Don't! Don't! I'll compensate! Can I compensate?"

"How much?"

“200,000 yuan, not a penny missing!”

Ly My My pulled her hand, her voice trembling.
