People around her were pointing and whispering about Liang Xiaohua, saying all sorts of filthy and offensive things. Most of the comments implied that she had brought misfortune upon someone else's son and was now shamelessly taking over the house that the son had bought. They said she was truly shameless.

Liang Xiaohua, of course, heard what those people said, and a look of resentment flashed in her eyes.

Instead of reflecting on their own mistakes, the people who made the mistakes berate her, the victim, and make her suffer the judgment of the world, wishing she would live a life devoid of any will to live, only then would they be happy.

Sometimes, Liang Xiaohua wished she could burn everything down, making those who wanted the house regret it for the rest of their lives.

However, she was unwilling to accept this. This house was the only refuge her husband had built for her with his whole life, a shelter from the wind and rain. Now, he couldn't even fulfill this simple request. What else could she ask for?

The more Liang Xiaohua thought about it, the more desperate she felt, as if she had sunk into a deep quagmire from which she could not escape.

"...Comrade Liang? Comrade Liang, did you hear me?"

Jiang Yuyan's shout instantly brought Liang Xiaohua back to her senses. She looked somewhat dazed. "Huh? What?"

"What I mean is, do you have a marriage certificate with the homeowner? If so, show it to prove that you are the first heir to this house. No one can argue with that then."

Liang Xiaohua's eyes lit up immediately.

Yes, how could she not have thought of that?

"Yes, I've kept our marriage certificate safe and sound. Comrade, wait a moment, I'll go get it for you now."

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry, you can take your time." Jiang Yuyan smiled.

Liang Xiaohua felt a warmth in her heart. She hadn't seen kindness on a stranger's face in a long time, and Jiang Yuyan was the first.

She turned and jogged into the room. The old woman was so angry that she jumped up and down, and immediately started cursing at Jiang Yuyan.

"What money could a little brat like you have to buy a house? You didn't steal money from your family, did you? If you don't want things to escalate, get out of here right now, or I'll bring my whole family and find your house within a day and make your house miserable."

With his triangular eyes, fierce brows, and a sarcastic mouth that kept babbling, even passersby found it unpleasant to listen to, let alone Jiang Muxuan and Jiang Muren.

Jiang Muren shoved the old woman away, "What nonsense are you spouting, you old scoundrel? What my little sister wants to do is none of your business! You're meddling in other people's business. You haven't even sorted out your own family's affairs yet, and you're always eyeing others. Don't blame your family for being envious. You're a family of good-for-nothings who do nothing but eat."

The old woman stumbled as she was pushed, a dark glint flashing in her cloudy eyes. She fell to the ground, howling and screaming, her voice louder than a pig's.

"Murder! Someone's murdered! There's an elderly person here! Help!"

Her voice was so loud that almost everyone on both sides of the street was drawn to her pitiful and shrill screams.

"What's going on? I think I heard something about sand people? Who dares to kill someone here? Are they out of their mind?"

"Shh, there she is, that old woman. But she doesn't look injured, and her voice is very loud. It doesn't look like a murder scene at all."

"Hehe, this old woman's voice is louder than mine. Her lung capacity is so good, she's definitely healthier than me, a young man."

"....."

When Liang Xiaohua came out with her marriage certificate, a crowd had gathered around her, more than ten times larger than when she left, which almost frightened her.

Jiang Yuyan called out to her, "Comrade Liang, have you brought down your marriage certificate?"

Liang Xiaohua nodded blankly, unsure how to react.

She certainly saw the old woman sitting on the ground howling, but this was a common tactic of hers, and Liang Xiaohua was used to it.

"You brat, the man next to you pushed me down and hurt me. If you don't pay me back, I'll call the police and have you all arrested." The old woman grinned smugly.

Jiang Muren shuddered. He subconsciously looked at his younger sister, afraid that he might really cause trouble instead of making things worse. He had originally wanted to speak up for his younger sister, but he didn't expect to cause trouble instead, which made him feel guilty and sad.

Jiang Muxuan spun his wheelchair to the old woman, carefully examining her body to make sure there were no signs of injury, and then said coldly,

"Okay, then call the police now. Perfect timing. When the police arrive, I also want to tell them that someone here is trying to extort money from innocent people using extremely malicious methods. I strongly urge them to thoroughly investigate your family."

The old woman and her family: !!!!

They were trembling with fear, never expecting Jiang Muxuan to be so tough.

When most people hear that the other party is going to call the police, they panic and lose all rationality, agreeing to whatever demands the other party makes.

The old woman and her family had used these tricks many times and had managed to swindle some money from them, which fueled their greed and made them even more unable to control themselves.

Jiang Muxuan looked at Jiang Muren, "Third brother, you're fast on your feet, go to the police station here and say—"

Before he could finish speaking, the old woman jumped up from the ground, afraid that if he was a step too late, Jiang Muxuan would take her to see the police.

"Pfft, pfft—" People in the crowd kept bursting into laughter.

"Old woman, what are you afraid of? Oh my, as long as you lie on the ground, the police will definitely 'side' you, hahaha."

"Yeah, they were yelling even louder than me just now. They can't even act convincingly. Do they think we're all idiots?"

The old woman and her family: "..." They think you city people are idiots.

Jiang Yuyan took the marriage certificate from Liang Xiaohua and unfolded it to show everyone.

"Look carefully, the homeowner and this Comrade Liang are husband and wife. Her husband is no longer here, so she is the first heir. How the house is handled is up to her."

Jiang Yuyan returned the marriage certificate to her and asked again to confirm, "Comrade Liang, are you sure you want to sell this house?"

Liang Xiaohua stared intently at the photo of her and her husband on the marriage certificate. Her husband's gentle smile pierced her heart beneath her feigned strength.

Her tears finally broke free and fell, staining the marriage certificate. Startled, she quickly wiped them away with her sleeve.

With a hoarse voice, she said firmly, "I'll sell it. I believe he'll agree to it."

Before she died, her husband told her that nothing could compare to her safety and happiness. If anything made her feel tired, she should throw it away and find something else that would make her feel comfortable.

Jiang Yuyan admired her determination, "Okay, then I'll buy this house. Just name your price, as long as it's within my budget, I'm definitely buying it."

Liang Xiaohua couldn't help but laugh. Who would reveal their intentions before even negotiating the price? Isn't that just asking to be ripped off?

She pondered for a moment, then offered a fair price, "The shop plus the building behind it, the building also has a yard, the yard can be used for planting vegetables, uh, two thousand three hundred, is that alright?"

"Hiss!" Someone in the crowd gasped, looking at Liang Xiaohua in disbelief, thinking she was too stupid.

"Wait, I'll buy this house. I can give you the two thousand three hundred right now."

A sharp, domineering female voice interrupted Jiang Yuyan, who was about to speak.
