Zhang Tao and his mother took his father out of the hospital and went home to recuperate. As soon as he returned home, he found that the key could not open the door.
Zhang's mother tried several times, but she couldn't insert the key into the keyhole.
"It's strange, why can't I get in?"
Zhang's mother thought she had taken the wrong key, so she tried other keys, but without exception, they could not be inserted.
"Mom, did you take the wrong key?" Zhang Tao asked while supporting his father.
"You shouldn't! Why can't you open the door even with this key?" Zhang's mother scratched her head and said strangely.
Father Zhang said impatiently: "Aren't the second son and his wife at home? Ask him to open the door."
"The second brother and his wife have to go to work today," Zhang Tao said.
Father Zhang sighed and said, "What should we do?"
"It's really not possible to call the unlocker." Zhang Tao said helplessly.
Just when Zhang Tao was about to call the locksmith, a man and a woman came over.
"Who are you? Why are you standing in front of my house?"
The three Zhang family members were stunned, and Zhang's mother said, "What do you mean by your family? This is my family."
"What's your home? This is my home. I just bought the house and the transfer was just completed today." The man took out a property certificate and said.
"What." Father Zhang had a bad feeling and immediately grabbed the house book.
"What do you want to do! I called the police." The man said reluctantly.
Zhang's father opened the house book and saw that the address above was indeed his home, but the name of the householder had changed.
"How could this happen?" Zhang Tao also saw the name on the house book.
"Second Brother, call Second Brother quickly." Zhang's father covered his heart and shouted.
"Dad, don't get excited, you have just had the surgery, be careful with your health." Zhang Tao said hurriedly.
"Call." Father Zhang said painfully.
Zhang Tao did not dare to hesitate and dialed the number of his second brother Zhang Sha, but the line was always busy.
"Who are you and why are you robbing our house?" The man couldn't bear it anymore and took out his cell phone to call the police.
"I am the head of this room, and this is the house assigned to our family." Zhang's father said angrily.
The man suddenly realized: "You are the original head of the household, right? Your son Zhang Sha has sold the house to me."
Zhang's father said with a sinister face: "I am the head of the household, and my son has no right to sell my house."
The man asked strangely: "Your son obviously has your authorization letter, otherwise how would we be able to pass the household?"
Father Zhang's heart began to hurt, and his expression became increasingly ferocious.
"Dad." Zhang Tao supported his father and wanted to go into the house and sit down.
The man was also afraid that Zhang's father would die on his doorstep, so he quickly opened the door and let the three people in.
As soon as he entered the house, Zhang's father found that everything in the house was gone. Except for large furniture such as sofas and cabinets, everything that could be moved had been moved away.
After Zhang Tao helped his parents sit down, he communicated with the man and found out that his good second brother Zhang Sha had sold the house at a low price and had just completed the transfer procedures this morning.
From beginning to end, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother were kept in the dark.
"I won't sell the house." Zhang's father gritted his teeth and tore up the property certificate.
"Hey, are you being unreasonable? I bought the house with real money, and you won't sell it if you don't want to!" the man said angrily.
"The house belongs to me, and my son has no right to buy or sell it, nor does it count when transferring ownership," Zhang's father said painfully.
The man took out a piece of paper and said, "Is this authorization letter your signature?"
Zhang Tao took the paper and found that it was an authorization letter. It clearly stated that Zhang's father authorized his second son, Zhang Sha, to handle the house transfer matters with full authority. There was also Zhang's father's autograph at the bottom.
"Dad, did you sign this?" Zhang Tao asked Zhang's father holding the authorization letter.
"It seems to be my handwriting." Father Zhang was also confused. The authorization letter was indeed his signature, but he didn't remember what authorization he signed?
"Old man, I remembered that when you were in the hospital, my second brother brought a bunch of documents for you to sign."
Zhang's father suddenly realized it and said: "The second brother must have tricked me into signing."
"I don't care who of you deceived whom, anyway, I bought the house with money, and the transfer procedures are reasonable and legal." The man said firmly:
"You can go back to the house if you want, and pay me back the money."
"Bullshit, the house obviously belongs to our family." Mother Zhang said angrily.
The two parties quarreled over the house, and finally the man's wife called the police, who quickly came to deal with the problem.
The Zhang family thought that someone would seek justice when the police came, but what they didn't expect was that after the police learned about the situation, they in turn persuaded Zhang's father to find his second son first.
"Old man, your son has indeed received the house payment from others, and the real estate certificate has been transferred. According to the law, the house already belongs to them."
The Zhang family was dumbfounded.
"My suggestion is that you find your son first. If you don't want to sell the house, return the money to him. If you want to sell the house, ask your son to hand over the sale proceeds." The policeman analyzed:
"After all, this is a family matter. If you really go to the police station, your family will not only lose face, but we will also hold you accountable for fraud."
Zhang's father and Zhang's mother looked at each other and knew that family scandals should not be publicized. They could not really send their son to prison.
Finally, the Zhang family was invited out of their house and stood downstairs for a while not knowing where to go.
"Go to Third Brother's place first." Zhang's father took a pill and calmed down a little, then said to his wife and son.
The three of them had no choice but to seek refuge with their youngest son, Zhang Lang.
Zhang Lang was furious when he learned that his second brother Zhang Sha had sold his house privately, leaving his parents and eldest brother homeless.
"The second brother is too courageous." Zhang Lang said angrily: "I'll call him right away."
"It's useless. I've almost called the second brother and his wife's phone calls, and no one has answered them." Zhang Tao said helplessly.
"Is this the end of it?" Zhang Lang said unconvinced: "The second brother is living happily outside with the millions he got from selling the house, how can I be asked to take care of the whole family?"
Father Zhang frowned, hearing that his youngest son didn't want to care about them.
"Zhang Lang, don't forget that the house you live in now belongs to your parents." Zhang Tao said angrily.
Zhang Lang felt a little guilty and said: "I didn't mean that, it's just that the house only has one room, how can it accommodate so many people.
Boss, you are divorced and have gained nothing, so you can’t live in your brother’s house!”
Zhang Tao finally realized that it wasn't that his brother didn't want to take care of his parents, but that he didn't want to take care of him!
"Third brother, what do you mean? He is your eldest brother. When you got married, your eldest brother paid for the banquet." Mother Zhang taught her son.
Zhang Lang muttered: "I also have my own difficulties. I don't dare to tell my wife how we can live in a big place for five people."
Zhang Tao looked at his useless younger brother and his helpless parents, and knew that he was not welcome in this family.
"Dad, Mom, let me go out and live!" Zhang Tao said bitterly.
"Boss, where can you live?" Mother Zhang asked with red eyes.
"I'm going to find a job with my old boss and live in a dormitory temporarily." Zhang Tao lowered his head and said.
Father Zhang sighed deeply and said, "The most important thing now is to find the second son and recover the money from selling the house!"
"Yes, the second son is nothing. He dares to sell his house privately and abscond with the money. We have to catch him and bring him back." Zhang Lang said angrily.
The Zhang family looked at me and I looked at you, all of them felt heavy.
