Xu Chunyan was absolutely furious. She forced her voice down into a whisper, trying to reason with her. "Maintaining the status quo is the only way we can keep living here. If you risk it all, we'll be kicked out whether you win or lose."
If Aunt Zhang lost, only Aunt Zhang would be kicked out. If Aunt Zhang won, they would all be kicked out together. Therefore, Xu Chunyan hoped she would lose—and lose completely.
"No." Aunt Zhang shook her head, speaking with conviction. "We won't be the ones kicked out. They will."
Xu Chunyan's mouth twitched. She had to admire her aunt's confidence, though she had no idea where it came from. 'This courtyard belongs to Qiao Yanqiu, not the Jie Family. So what if she married Father-in-law? If they divorce, is she really going to leave the house to him? That's completely unrealistic. If I were in her shoes, I wouldn't leave it to my ex-husband either.'
"Aunt Zhang, this is Qiao Yanqiu's courtyard," Xu Chunyan reminded her.
