Sophie was a little reluctant, and she didn't know whether it was out of sympathy or because she regarded herself as a member of the Zhao family. Anyway, she was depressed.
She reminded: "When your father bought the house, he didn't leave any written proof?"
"No, nothing was left, only an agreement was left, saying that the house was not allowed to be sold."
"What about the intervening witness?"
"The second aunt and my mother are the witnesses. The second aunt passed away many years ago. Naturally, the second uncle refuses to acknowledge my mother's words."
"Then what do they mean by taking the house back by force?"
"They can't rob it, and they don't dare to. They just want to buy the house back!"
"Buy it back? Then sell it to them."
Zhao Dong smiled bitterly, "If they were willing to buy sincerely, why would there be so many things?"
Sophie heard the key, "Is the old house valuable?"
Zhao Dong explained, "Although the old house is a bit dilapidated, it is still a house facing the street. The first and second floors are facades, and the third floor is used for living. Not to mention anything else, the average price of the first floor alone in the neighborhood is
More than ten thousand."
Sophie counted on her fingers, "After three floors, it must be several million, right?"
"Absolutely. A few years ago, a developer fell in love with that piece of land and came to discuss demolition. He offered five million, but my mother didn't agree."
Sophie said in an astonished tone, "It definitely can't be sold. Five million is too little. It needs at least eight million! If you include the half that I bought back then, well... tens of millions
It’s over!”
As she spoke, she looked at Zhao Dong and said, "Let me tell you, why do you treat money like dirt? Your relationship is still second-generation!"
Zhao Dong said helplessly, "I'm not in the mood to joke with you."
Sophie poked him, "How much does your second uncle plan to pay?"
Zhao Dong sneered, "One hundred thousand!"
Sophie thought she heard it wrong, "What? He only wants to spend 100,000 for a house worth several million? Even if it's a bargain, it's not like that, right?"
Zhao Dong was also shameless, "My second uncle said that my father's 100,000 yuan back then was not to buy a house, but to support him in starting a business. Now he is willing to give back 100,000 yuan, and he should have his share of the house!"
Sophie opened her mouth wide and looked shocked, "Are you kidding? One hundred thousand yuan twenty years ago is the same concept as one hundred thousand yuan now? This is too shameless!"
Zhao Dong said nothing. This incident could no longer be described as shameless.
Before Zhao Dong could open his mouth, Sophie said angrily, "No, I definitely can't agree to this, it's too bullying!"
Zhao Dong gave her a funny look, "What's wrong, you think of yourself as the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family so quickly?"
Sophie argued, "What good things are you thinking about? I just feel that I can't take advantage of those evil relatives in your family in vain!"
Zhao Dong sighed, "It's useless. I don't have anything to say about this. My father loves his second uncle the most and values brotherhood the most. Before his death, my father asked my mother to take good care of the family. My mother is definitely not willing to go to court for this matter."
.”
Sophie suddenly realized, "That's why your second uncle comes to the house again and again, because if your mother doesn't sign, they can't sell the house?"
"That's right."
Just as he was talking, the eldest brother came out and said, "Xiaodong, mom wants you to go in."
Before turning around, he suddenly saw Sophie, too, "Well... Su... Miss Su... why are you here too?"
The eldest brother was a little panicked. He didn't expect that Sophie would encounter such an embarrassing thing when she came to visit him for the first time.
Zhao Dong signaled that it was okay, turned to look at Sophie and said, "Wait for me here."
As he spoke, he walked into the house.
Mother Zhao pointed to an agreement on the table, "Your eldest brother lives in the east house. Mom will definitely not let them make room for it. This half was originally intended to be reserved for your wedding. Now that your cousin is getting married, you will be my cousin."
Yes, you can’t hold on to it.”
Zhao Dong felt bad, but it wasn't that his mother was partial.
