The heavens set sail from the courtyard

"Room 303, Building 6, this is the right place."

Liu Meixin held the address and house number of the new house and checked them for a long time before finally confirming that the house in front of her was the one she had bought.

"Has the front door of the new house been installed? Why didn't Jiaxi tell me?" Liu Meixin looked at the front door in surprise and subconsciously knocked on it.

The door opened quickly from the inside, and Yan Hongyu stood inside, looking surprised to see Liu Meixin.
"Mom, what brings you here?" Yan Hongyu asked in a panic.

"Hongyu? You're at the new house! I wish we'd come together." Liu Meixin said with a smile, "I came to see how the renovation is going."

Yan Hongyu blocked the door, looking extremely flustered, and refused to let Liu Meixin into the house.

"Why are you blocking my way? I'm here to see how far the renovation is going. Let me tell you, there's a lot to learn about renovations, you young people don't understand."

Liu Meixin pushed Yan Hongyu aside, strode into the house, and then froze!

Before her was a newly renovated house, fully furnished and even equipped with a television. Liu Meixin turned her head and saw several freshly cooked dishes on the dining table, still steaming.

"Hongyu, who's here?" He Jiaxi came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of soup.

Liu Meixin looked around the new house and found that it had been lived in for a long time, with traces of life everywhere.

"He Jiaxi, why didn't you tell me the house was renovated?" Liu Meixin glared fiercely at her youngest daughter and shouted.

"Mom, what brings you to my house?" He Jiaxi greeted Liu Meixin with a smile, showing no sign of panic.

"Your home?" Liu Meixin exclaimed in surprise.

He Jiaxi put down his bowl, walked over, and said, "The house has just been renovated, and I was just about to invite you to come and visit."

"A tour?" Liu Meixin realized something and said in disbelief, "You never intended for me to live in the new house!"

He Jiaxi calmly led his mother into the house.

"Don't touch me! You have to explain yourself today!" Liu Meixin said angrily. "Didn't you say you'd buy me a new house for my retirement?"

He Jiaxi sighed, "Mom, I'd love to bring you here to live with us! But there's really no room!"

Liu Meixin frowned and said, "Isn't the new house supposed to have three rooms?"

He Jiaxi laughed and said, "Yes, the new house has three bedrooms. Hongyu and I will have one, the child will have one, and Hongyu's mother will have one. There's no extra space."

Liu Meixin's eyes widened as she asked, "Why is Hongyu's mother moving in?"

Yan Hongyu stood there feeling extremely awkward, but He Jiaxi remained calm and said:
"Mom, you have no idea. We used up all our savings to buy this house, and we still have to pay the mortgage every month. It's really too much for us."

Later, Hongyu's mother felt sorry for us, so she rented out the old house and used the rent to help us pay off the loan.

But this means Hongyu's mother will have nowhere to live and will have to move in!

Liu Meixin asked incredulously, "Hongyu's mother has nowhere to live, but I do?"

He Jiaxi chuckled and said, "Didn't you rent a place outside? I thought you'd gotten used to it after living here for so long."

"He Jiaxi!" Liu Meixin trembled with anger. "That's not what you said when you asked me to take out money to buy a house and tricked me into borrowing money for renovations!"

He Jiaxi said aggrievedly, "Mom, I really have no choice. The mortgage is suffocating Hongyu and me."

"Give me a little more time. Once the mortgage is paid off, we'll bring you to live with us."

Liu Meixin's lips trembled as she said, "Your mortgage is for twenty years. By the time it's paid off, I might not even be alive!" "Look at you, you're in great health, you'll live to be a hundred. You can still go to the market to sell pickles every morning. How could you possibly not live past twenty?" He Jiaxi said with a smile.

Liu Meixin finally realized that her sweetheart had only ever wanted to swindle her money to buy a house!

At this moment, Yan's mother came out of the innermost bedroom. She was startled when she saw Liu Meixin, then smiled warmly and said:
"My mother-in-law is here! Please have a seat. Hongyu, you really don't know any manners. She's a guest, so please pour her a cup of tea!"

The word "guest" completely broke Liu Meixin's defenses. Her face turned pale, and she could no longer hold back. She said, "He Jiaxi, you cheated me out of my money to buy a house. Now that you have the money, you want to kick me to the curb. You have no conscience. I've always spoiled you the most since I was a child."

He Jiaxi said with a straight face, "Mom, you can't just say things like that. What do you mean by lying? That was clearly money you willingly gave me. I never forced you from beginning to end!"

"You, you're shameless!" Liu Meixin said angrily, "I owed tens of thousands of yuan to raise money for your renovations, and you dare to say such heartless things!"

He Jiaxi sneered, "Mom, words are no proof. Did I give you an IOU?"

"What?" Liu Meixin underestimated her youngest daughter's shamelessness and said angrily, "You promised to support me in my old age, so I gave you the money, even going so far as to borrow money from friends."

He Jiaxi shamelessly said, "I will naturally keep my promise. I will definitely take care of you in your old age in twenty years."

Liu Meixin lost her balance and swayed as she clung to the wall for support.

"Mom, are you alright?" Yan Hongyu asked anxiously.

"Don't call me Mom, I'm not your mom!" Liu Meixin said through gritted teeth. "He Jiaxi, you'll get your comeuppance someday."

He Jiaxi frowned and said, "Mom, what kind of mother curses her own child? If parents are not kind, don't blame your daughter for being unfilial!"

Liu Meixin almost spat out a mouthful of blood; she had seriously underestimated her daughter's moral bottom line.

"He Jiaxi, give me back my money!" Liu Meixin grabbed He Jiaxi's collar and shouted, "That's all my savings for my funeral!"

He Jiaxi pushed Liu Meixin away and sneered, "What money? I don't know I owe you money. Do you have any proof?"

Liu Meixin cried, "That was all my retirement money! I even sold my house!"

He Jiaxi said coldly, "I only took one-eighth of the money from the sale of the house. Don't make it sound like the others didn't take any money!"

Seeing Liu Meixin's heartbroken state, Yan Hongyu felt a pang of pity and wanted to help his mother-in-law, but his mother stopped him.

“His own daughter is right there, what are you meddling for? Come back to the room with me.” Yan’s mother pulled her son away directly.

"Mom, stop making trouble. If you want money, go ask my five older sisters. You are the mother of all six of us. Why should you rely on me to take care of you in your old age?"

He Jiaxi pushed Liu Meixin out the door and said, "You should leave. Don't bother me. This community has property management and security guards. If I call the security guards, you'll be in trouble too."

Liu Meixin walked downstairs in a daze, her head spinning, and she didn't even know how she left He Jiaxi's house.

As Liu Meixin walked along the spacious road in the residential area, tears streamed down her face.

"Why did it turn out like this?" Liu Meixin squatted down, burying her face in her hands, and cried bitterly.

"Meixin?!"

Suddenly, He Wenshi's voice came from the side. Liu Meixin looked up and saw He Wenshi, with a full head of white hair, standing next to her.

"Mom!!" Liu Meixin clung to He Wenshi's leg, crying helplessly, "What should I do?!" (End of Chapter)
