In the era of rebirth, the charming daughter-in-law in the courtyard is beautiful and sassy.

At this point, Mr. Lu's tolerance for his second daughter-in-law had reached its limit. In order not to affect his eldest and third sons, he divided the family property as soon as his third son got married.

Unexpectedly, the second son's wife dared to extend her reach to the other brothers, and even now she dares to turn the tables on them, which is utterly disgusting.

Just as he was about to lose his temper again, his second son, Lu Liyue, hurriedly walked in: "Mom and Dad, I'm back."

Mr. Lu looked coldly at his second son: "Lu Liyue, you've married a fine wife, but our Lu family can't afford her. Now we're giving you two choices: either get a divorce or sever ties with your family and leave home."

A look of grief and indignation flashed across Lu Liyue's face, and his cold gaze quickly turned to Ruan Jinmei: "What have you done now?"

When Lu's mother saw that everyone had returned, she glanced at Huo Jiayuan, a look of guilt flashing across her face, before she spoke: "Ruan Jinmei's younger brother has caused trouble again. Seeing that no one in the family was helping her, he took advantage of the fact that the third son's wife was not at home and mortgaged the courtyard that was part of her dowry."

As soon as she said this, Huo Jiayuan rushed into her room, and less than half a minute later, Huo Jiayuan roared: "You've gone too far!"

After saying that, he was about to walk out.

Startled, Lu's mother quickly grabbed her: "Jiayuan, I know this is your second sister-in-law's fault for being so unreasonable, but we can talk things over. The reason I called them back today is to resolve this matter. I hope you can calm down first."

When Lu Liyue heard that his wife had mortgaged his sister-in-law's dowry house to someone else, he could no longer contain his anger. He took a few steps forward and grabbed Ruan Jinmei: "You not only ruined me, but you also want to ruin our whole family, right? I'll beat you to death today."

Caught off guard, Ruan Jinmei was slapped to the ground by Lu Liyue.

The pain on her face made her realize that she was now in a vulnerable position: "Lu Liyue, you hit me?" Lu Liyue felt ashamed and indignant, feeling that Ruan Jinmei had completely disgraced him. After all, who could have such a wife who was willing to do anything for her family all day long? After he cut off her right to manage the household in his branch, she dared to steal her younger brother and sister-in-law's things. This time, he really couldn't stand it: "Ruan Jinmei, let's get a divorce. I've had enough."

Upon hearing the word 'divorce,' Ruan Jinmei froze for a moment before screaming, 'Lu Liyue, you want a divorce? Don't forget you were the one who pursued me and promised to protect me for life. Now you're talking to me about divorce? Don't even think about it!'

Lu Liyue didn't hesitate any longer: "You've already gone to such lengths as petty theft, and you still expect me to keep my promise from back then? Where do you get the nerve?"

After yelling, he looked at his mother and asked, "Who did she mortgage the house to? How much money did she mortgage it for?"

Lu's mother glanced at her second daughter-in-law with disgust in her eyes. In fact, the family did not agree to Lu Liyue marrying her at first, but her second son was willing. After failing to persuade her, they had no choice but to welcome her into the family. Later, they found that she was only concerned about her younger brother from her own family and did not harm the interests of the other branches of the family. As a mother-in-law, she naturally could not say anything. Since her son was willing, she could only remind him occasionally.

But I never expected that this would escalate to the point of harming other family members. This family really can't tolerate her: "I ran into Mrs. Fu when I went out to run some errands today. She subtly asked me if anything had happened at home recently, which left me completely confused."

That's when I found out that your wife actually mortgaged a house to one of Fu Chenyi's men and got 5,000 yuan from it. I was thinking that you're living at home now, and the power supply bureau's dormitory was lent to your wife's family. I quickly asked them which house they mortgaged.
I only found out later that she had mortgaged a small two-courtyard house in Yuhua Hutong. I immediately realized something was wrong and quickly asked Madam Fu to confirm it. It confirmed my suspicion: your wife had actually dared to mortgage the house that was part of your third brother's wife's dowry.

After saying all this, Lu's mother was almost out of breath.

Huo Jiayuan was even angrier: "That house is worth at least six thousand now, and you mortgaged it for only five thousand?"

She was so angry she didn't even know how to yell at them: "I don't care what methods you use, get my property deed back right now, or don't blame me for calling the police!" (End of Chapter)
