Chapter 486: Chapter 486: The Daughter-in-Law Has the Final Say Chapter 486: Chapter 486: The Daughter-in-Law Has the Final Say “Where is the house deed? The house deed? Speak up, Su Yunjin, where have you hidden the house deed?” When it came to the house deed, Mrs. Zhang shamelessly demanded it from Su Yunjin.
And she insisted that Su Yunjin hand over the house deed to her.
“Su Yunjin, if you know what’s good for you, you’ll hand over the house deed sooner rather than later and move out with your husband as soon as possible. Don’t cling to our Gu Family’s old house now that you have a new one!”
Su Yunjin was no pushover. Mrs. Zhang’s words had no effect on her. She let out a scoff and didn’t give Mrs. Zhang an ounce of face.
“In your dreams! Why should I give you my house deed?”
Infuriated by Su Yunjin’s response, Mrs. Zhang turned to Gu Ya, “Third brother, you’re the head of the household; if your sister-in-law doesn’t understand the rules, surely you do?”
Gu Ya, who had been silent until now, glanced at his wife and then calmly addressed Mrs. Zhang, “Eldest sister-in-law, in this home, Yunjin has the final say.”
Gu Ya’s words left Mrs. Zhang’s face stiff with embarrassment.
Seeing Mrs. Zhang humiliated
made Su Yunjin feel quite satisfied.
Even Gu Baofu didn’t expect Gu Ya to speak out . “Third brother, you’re a grown man, but you let a woman lead you by the nose? Which family in the village doesn’t have a man in charge? And you actually let a woman run things? Have you lost your mind?”
“Big brother, the house belongs to me and Yunjin. Is there a problem letting Yunjin make decisions about it?” Gu Ya retorted.
Gu Baofu was at a loss for words after Gu Ya’s reply.
Having gained nothing from their tantrum at Su Yunjin’s place, Mr. and Mrs. Gu Baofu both left with gloomy faces.
Thinking of the sullen departure of Mr. and Mrs. Gu Baofu, Su Yunjin chuckled and said, “Husband, after this ordeal, they shouldn’t covet our house anymore, right?”
“Let them covet all they want; we won’t give it to them. What can they do, rob us?” Gu Ya did not take Mr. and Mrs. Gu Baofu seriously at all.
Su Yunjin thought Gu Ya was right; if she and Gu Ya didn’t give it, there was no way Mr. and Mrs. Gu Baofu could get their hands on the house.
Having failed to obtain Su Yunjin and her husband’s house, Mr. and Mrs. Gu Baofu didn’t look too pleased upon returning home.
Gu Changshun knew his parents had gone to ask for the house from his uncle and aunt. Upon Mrs. Zhang’s return, he immediately inquired, “Mother, how did it go? Did you get the house?”
With a darkened face, Mrs. Zhang remained silent. Seeing her expression, Gu Changshun guessed the outcome, “Could it be that uncle and aunt are unwilling to give us the house?”
“Son, don’t worry! It’s not up to them to decide whether to give or not. When they move out, the house will be vacant, and we’ll do with it as we please.”
Gu Changshun felt reassured by his mother’s words and no longer worried about his uncle and aunt withholding the house. Originally, Su Yunjin had planned to give the house to Mrs. Chu and her fifth brother, Gu Jianghai. She had intended to inform Mrs. Chu tonight, but just now, the troublesome Mr. and Mrs. Gu Baofu had created a scene at their place.
Seeing that it was getting late, Su Yunjin decided to wait until tomorrow to tell Mrs. Chu and her family about it. First, she would give the house to Mrs. Chu to prevent Mr. and Mrs. Gu Baofu from gaining any advantage.
Stretching and yawning wearily, Su Yunjin felt exhausted. Gu Ya walked over to close the door of the room and began to take off his robe, telling his wife, “Yunjin, if you’re tired, go to sleep.”
