Chapter 8
Yanhua initially spoke of wanting custody of our son, but when it came to dividing the property, he changed his tune.
Although the house we currently live in was bought by my parents before our marriage, after marriage, we took out a loan to purchase a new house in the city center for our son, and I've been paying it off every month with my housing provident fund.
What Yanhua wants to fight for is this house.
He confidently claims, "This is the house we bought together for our son's future marriage.
Now that our son is with me, it naturally should be given to me." Our son also says, "Mom, you already got another property, so don't worry about this one.
Dad said it's mine." Yanhua continues, "As a mother, shouldn't you put your child's interests first? Even though we're divorced, Yan Yuan is still our shared child.
Aren't we as parents supposed to do what's best for our child?" I sneer, "Yanhua, using other people's things as favors is your usual tactic." "Since you're so good to our son, after working for decades, surely you've saved hundreds of thousands." "Why don't you buy another property with a bigger space and better location for our son?" "Jiang Wan," Yanhua immediately gets heated and argues with me, "I also contributed money towards this house!" "Yes, you contributed 10% of the down payment," I coldly respond, "Based on the proportion of our contributions, I get 90%, and you get 10%.
Any problems with that?" Yanhua instantly explodes.
He slams the table and stands up, angrily staring at me, "Jiang Wan, why do you have to calculate everything so clearly? How can you be so heartless after being together for decades?" I am stunned by his questioning―I didn't expect him to deliver those lines with such a straight face and a righteous demeanor.
After speaking, Yanhua pushes our son's arm and says, "Xiao Yuan, persuade your mother.
This will be your property in the future." Our son hesitates for a moment and says, "Dad, whether you or Mom gets it, it will eventually be mine, right?" "That's not necessarily true," Yanhua whispers in his ear, "If your mom finds someone else and has another child, won't you lose out?" I give them both a deep look.
One dares to deceive, while the other dares to believe.
Incredible.
