Chapter 1 — The School District House and the Ruined Marriage

My husband forced me to sell the house, so I transferred the title to the house in my name. My brother-in-law wanted to buy a Porsche to make a fortune, so my husband immediately insisted on selling the old school district house that his father-in-law left behind for only fifty thousand to raise money for the down payment for him. In my previous life, I lived and died refusing to sign. I even held the red-stamped planning document and showed it to him, saying that this area was about to be merged into a top key school district, and future house prices would not only increase tenfold. In the end, he obeyed and stopped selling. A few years later, that house actually sold for six hundred thousand. But when I offered to pay ten thousand for my daughter's international kindergarten tuition, my brother-in-law threw the whole dining table over.

"This money was given to me by my brother to start a business. Are you the kind of woman who can't even give birth to a son and still deserve to spend it?"

My husband also coldly spoke up:

"The elder brother is like a father. When my younger brother goes on a blind date, he needs to be presentable. For a daughter, just going to a public school is enough."

I was so angry that my whole body was shaking. I directly filed a petition to court to sue for divorce, asking for property division. But on the way to court, I was hit and killed by my brother-in-law's car. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day my husband forced me to sign the house sale papers. This time, I curled my lips and smiled, extremely coordinated with my finger pointing. Right after that, I turned around to find a broker, used the trump card I held in my hand, and gradually legalized that house as an asset in my own name. In my previous life, they sucked my mother and I's blood to the bone. In this life, I will let the whole family taste what it feels like to be empty-handed. When I opened my eyes, Chu Khai Minh was pushing the house sale contract in front of me.

“Sign, don't bother anymore.”

On the table was also placed a deposit slip from the Porsche showroom. The car logo was intentionally exposed, as if afraid I wouldn't see it. Chu Khai Hang crossed his legs and sat on the sofa, his toes swaying proudly.

“Sister-in-law, I bought a car to discuss business matters, not for enjoyment.”

My mother-in-law, Ton Que Lan, sat next to me peeling tangerines. She gave the sweet tangerine to Chu Khai Hang, and threw half of the sour tangerine into Duong Duong's bowl. Duong Duong was only five years old and timidly reached out to get another piece of meat. The mother-in-law immediately hit the child's hand.

"What's a girl doing eating so much? Who wants to get married in the future if she's so greedy?"

Duong Duong quickly retracted his hand and lowered his head to look at the back of his red hand. In my previous life, it was also here that I went completely crazy. I grabbed the contract, slammed the red-stamped planning document on the table, and told them that this old school district house was about to be incorporated into the enrollment area of Minh Duc experimental school. Selling for 500,000 yuan is like throwing a mountain of gold into a landfill. Chu Khai Minh listened to me. The house is no longer for sale. Two months later, the official district division notice was announced. The old house directly increased its price from 500,000 yuan to 6,000,000 yuan. At that time, I thought I had saved this whole family. Only later did I understand... What I saved was the knife they used to stab me back. The day the money from the house sale was transferred to my account, I just said I wanted to get 100,000 yuan for Duong Duong to pay for international kindergarten tuition. Chu Khai Hang immediately threw the entire dining table over.

“My brother gave me this money to start a business. You are the kind of woman who can't even give birth to a son Is it worth spending money to be famous?

Chu Khai Minh coldly said:

“Eldest brother is like a father. His younger brother needed to look up to go on a blind date. Girls can go to public universities."

I brought a petition to court for divorce. On the way, Chu Khai Hang drove his car and killed me. Right at the moment the front of the car rushed forward, I could hear him cursing from inside the car:

“Who dares you to look at my brother's money?”

When I opened my eyes again... I came back exactly today. When Chu Khai Minh saw me staring at the contract without saying anything, his face immediately darkened.

“Tham Tri Y, don't want to cause trouble again.”

“This house was left to me by my parents, it has nothing to do with you.”

Chu Khai Hang burst into laughter.

“Sister-in-law, you have to be reasonable. My brother has raised you for so many years, now you still want to manage the Chu family's ancestral property?"

The mother-in-law also immediately chimed in:

“What status does it have? Born to lose money, yet still think he is a servant of the Chu family."

Duong Duong raised his head to look at me and asked in a low voice:

“Mom… can I still go to kindergarten next semester?”

The whole room was immediately silent for a few seconds. Chu Khai Hang frowned uncomfortably.

“What's the point of a girl going to an expensive school? Knowing a few words is enough.”

I hugged Duong Duong in my arms. The baby's body was stiff, he didn't even dare to cry. I bowed my head and looked at the contract. The buyer is an unfamiliar name. Transaction price: 500,000 yuan. In my previous life, I risked my life to stop him and ended up dying on the way to court. I won't keep money for them anymore. I picked up the ink cartridge. Zhou Kaiming was stunned.

“What are you doing?”

I curled my lips and smiled.

“Of course, family members must help Khai Hang.”

Bright red fingerprints were immediately printed on the paper. The three members of the Chu family were all stunned for a few seconds, unable to react. The mother-in-law was the first to laugh.

"That looks like an understanding daughter-in-law."

Chu Khai Hang picked up the deposit slip and whistled.

"Waiting for me to get the car back, sister-in-law also counts it as a merit."

Chu Khai Minh still looked at me suspiciously.

“Don't hide anything.”

I pushed the contract back to him.

“I'm just an outsider, what tricks can I play?”

That statement clearly made him extremely satisfied. He immediately put the contract in his pocket, as if afraid I would change my mind. I turned around and went into the kitchen, turning on the faucet. The sound of running water covered my phone call. I called Lam Man. She is my close friend and a veteran manager in the real estate brokerage industry for ten years. As soon as the phone was connected, before she could scold me, I read the name of the building and the apartment number.

“Help me look up who the current buyer is.”

Lam Man was silent for three seconds.

“Is your husband crazy? For that location, 500,000 yuan can't even buy a basement."

“Is the buyer a realtor or a real buyer?”

“Wait for me five minutes.”

I turned off the faucet and heard Chu Khai Hang calling and bragging outside the living room.

“The money is coming, I'll go get the Porsche tomorrow.”

Mother-in-law laughed until she couldn't close her mouth.

“My youngest son really has a future.”

Duong Duong stood at the kitchen door, still clutching that sour tangerine in her hand. The little girl asked me in a low voice:

“Mom… shouldn't I want to go to kindergarten?”

I squatted down and took the tangerine segment from her hand.

“Wherever Duong Duong wants to study, he will study there.”

The child blinked.

“Are you angry, Dad?”

I'm gentle rub the back of your child's red hand.

“From now on… I won't need to see your father's face anymore.”

Lam Man's phone called back.

"The buyer is the agent flipping the house. The registration hasn't been completed yet. Just need more money to change the name."
