Chapter 144 The Heartless Mother-in-Law
Phoenix Hall Hutong
"Ms. Jiang Wanshun! Is Ms. Jiang Wanshun home?" a man in a gray work uniform called out in front of Shanying's door.
Upon hearing the sound, Shanying quickly ran over from Ms. Leopard's house.
"Um... what do you want with Jiang Wanshun?" Shanying looked at the person who wanted to see her mother-in-law with a smile. She seemed to be in a good mood after just finishing playing cards.
"Are you Ms. Jiang Wanshun?" the man asked politely.
“No, I’m not Jiang Wanshun, I’m someone who lives here,” Sun-young explained with a smile.
"You live in this house!" The man suddenly realized, smiled and nodded, and took out an email. "May I ask your name?" The man took out a pen.
“Kim Sun-young,” Sun-young replied, looking at him curiously.
"What is your relationship with Ms. Jiang Wanshun?" the man asked.
“It’s my mother-in-law.” Sun-young’s face was full of doubt.
"Please sign this." The man handed over the email.
Sun-young picked up the pen with a puzzled look and signed her name.
Back in her room, Sun-young opened the email, looked at the list, and the smile on her face vanished instantly.
[The Seoul District Court, Northern Branch, has issued a decision.]
Those few lines of text instantly threw her into a panic.
As I read the information word by word, my heart sank even lower.
(Real estate, auction.)
Five words in a line of information made her almost drop the paper. Shaking, Sun-young picked up the phone and dialed the court address registered on it.
"what is this!"
They said they were going to auction off our house!
"what does this mean?"
Sun-young squatted in front of the phone, anxiously asking questions.
"When Ms. Jiang Wanshun took out a loan from the bank, she mortgaged your house," the operator explained.
"What are you talking about! This is my house," Sun-young explained incredulously into the phone.
"Because Ms. Jiang Wanshun hasn't repaid the bank loan, your house is now up for auction." The operator sighed helplessly and explained again, "The amount is ten million. If the ten million hasn't been repaid by the first of next month, the court will immediately initiate the auction process."
"No! I didn't borrow any money, why should I pay it back!"
"Go find whoever borrowed it!"
Why are you putting my house up for sale?!
"Hurry up and cancel that auction!"
Sun-young hurriedly explained to the operator.
"The house is registered under Ms. Jiang Wanshun's name. Ms. Jiang Wanshun is the homeowner, and there are no procedural issues," the operator replied.
"She is the homeowner, but this was left by my husband for my daughter and me to live in!"
"Sigh... then you can talk to the loan officer. I'm hanging up now."
Seeing that she was becoming increasingly agitated, the operator hung up the phone.
I called out into the phone twice, but there was no response.
With trembling hands, Sun-young looked at the phone book and called Sun-woo's grandmother.
"Mother-in-law! How could you do this! How are we supposed to live?" Sun-young cried out in anguish.
"Otherwise what? Are you going to send your brother-in-law to jail?" Jiang Wanshun said calmly.
"So you're already treating us like outsiders?" Jiang Wanshun mocked.
“The person was almost dead from the accident, but at least paying money will save him from going to jail,” said Jiang Wanshun.
“But you shouldn’t have disturbed this house!” Sun-young said.
"How could you do this! What am I and the child going to do!" Sun-young exclaimed.
"Who knows how you can't even have ten million?" Jiang Wanshun mocked.
"Where did you spend all of Sunwoo's father's compensation money?" Jiang Wanshun questioned.
"Whether you squander the money or use it to play around with some man, I don't care," Jiang Wanshun said.
"You're so lucky, spending the money that cost my son's life so happily," Jiang Wanshun muttered to himself.
“Living in my house, spending my son’s money, I’m living a very comfortable life,” said Jiang Wanshun.
“Anyway, the house has been sold. Just send the child over; I can take better care of him than you can!” Jiang Wanshun said before hanging up the phone.
In Jiang Wanshun's eyes, it was the widowed Shanying who killed his son.
Every word she uttered was mercilessly piercing Sun-young.
She never imagined that this woman, who had also loved her son, had used that meager compensation to support her grandson's education and upbringing until he was this old, while also taking care of her youngest daughter.
With her arrogance and prejudice, she denied everything about a woman who was earnestly trying her best to live a good life...
She, who prided herself on being able to take better care of the child, after leaving the child with Sun-young to raise with great difficulty, even wanted to take away Sun-young's manhood.
As Sun-young listened to the busy tone on the phone, she cried loudly in her room, feeling both anxious and desperate.

Liu Shuyu's family
Besides Deok-sun, Taek was also unexpectedly there.
"Taek! When is Daddy coming back?" Deok-sun familiarly picked up some food for him.
"It should be tomorrow," Aze replied with a smile.
"Deok-sun, I can do it myself!" Taek said, unusually offering his opinion as he watched Deok-sun taking care of him as usual.
"Wow~ Our Taek has grown up~ He doesn't need his sister's help anymore~" Deok-sun couldn't help but tease him while chewing her food.
Only Liu Shuyu sensed something; it seemed that Aze…
Things are a little different now...
"Dingling bell~"
The phone rang, and Deok-sun, who was sitting next to the phone, wiped her hands on her clothes and reached out to pick up the phone.
"Hey?"
"Oh~ Deok-sun! You're back for dinner~" Lee Il-hwa.
"Oh~ I ate at Seowoo's house!" Deoksun said with a grin.
"Oh, is that so? I was thinking of inviting Aze over for dinner when I called you back."
"Aze's dad went out, so it's just Aze at home~ Never mind, I'll let Yu Hui go instead~"
As soon as Lee Il-hwa finished speaking, Deok-sun quickly interrupted her, trying to hang up.
"Mom! Taek ate at Seowoo's place too!" Deoksun glanced at Taek and said urgently.
"Oh! Is that so? Okay then~"
The phone is busy.
.........
Deok-sun's House
Just as Li Yihua hung up the phone, another call came in.
"Hello? Oh! Big sister! What's up? Oh, is that so!"
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
Li Yihua hung up the phone.
"Mom is going to Sunwoo's mom's place. Bora, you two finish eating and clean up."
Watching their mother get up and leave, Yu Hui and Paula exchanged a glance.
"Big sister, I also want to eat at Shuyu's place." Yu Hui looked at the dishes on the table and felt uncomfortable just thinking about Deok-sun eating and drinking well.
Paula slapped him on the back of the head.
"Even a dog doesn't mind a poor home~ Besides, things are much better than before~ Just eat your food!" Paula shoveled her food and gave Yu Hui another scolding~
Looking at the food and the fierce older sister, Yu Hui couldn't help but shed tears.
"Mommy~ I miss Mommy~"
"Hey~ stop arguing~"
"okay......"
