Chapter 478 Mediation
"Li Shengli." Sha Zhu suddenly realized and slapped his thigh, "I knew this matter would not be so simple."

Even if they knew that this matter was related to Lee Seung-ri, they couldn't do anything. The court subpoena was no joke.

"Silly Zhu, what should we do about this?" Qin Huairu was a little at a loss. She was comfortable dealing with several men, but she had no idea about this matter.

"I will go ask someone tomorrow to see what I should do about this matter." Sha Zhu was also a little dumbfounded. How would he know what to do about this matter? He was an honest man and had never received a court summons.

The whole family was restless and couldn't sleep that night.

The next day, Sha Zhu went straight to find the manager of the restaurant. He had no intention of telling his apprentices about this matter. What's the use of telling them? Apart from spreading some gossip, he couldn't give any constructive suggestions.

The hotel manager gave Sha Zhu a lot of useful advice for the sake of Lou Xiao'e.

It's just that because Sha Zhu didn't explain things clearly, the hotel manager suggested that Sha Zhu go find a lawyer to ask, after all, Sha Zhu couldn't tell the truth.

In Sha Zhu's mouth, Li Shengli became a person who was plotting to take their family property.

After Sha Zhu walked out of the law firm, he started to swear at Li Shengli, imitating Jia Zhang.

He consulted a lawyer, and after seeing their evidence, the lawyer directly suggested that they settle out of court, saying that there was no way they could win this case.

To be honest, he also suspected that Lee Seung-ri knew something and that's why he asked Banggeng to write such a thing.

The entire IOU and declaration of safety blocked the retreat of this man named Jia Geng.

After returning home, Sha Zhu recounted exactly what he had talked with the lawyer.

"Banggeng is bound to suffer a loss this time." Shazhu sighed. He didn't want to continue talking about Banggeng.

Banggeng was such a disappointment to him. He thought he was a good boy when he saw him stealing things but still caring about his sister. He didn't expect that when he grew up, he would become a whore and indulge in drinking, gambling and whoring.

"So what should we do about this matter, like they said? Transfer the house to Lee Seung-ri?"

Qin Huairu was unwilling to give in. She had gone through so much effort to get Sha Zhu's house into Bang Geng's hands, and now she was going to transfer the best house in the entire compound to Li Shengli. How could she be willing to do this?

"If they don't give us money, we can just drag it out. Even if the court decides, what can we do?" Jia Zhang began to use her best skill, which was to act like a rogue. "We will live in this house. I don't believe that the people from the court will kick us out."

Jia Zhang was used to doing this kind of thing. In her eyes, as long as they all held on to the house and did not move out, no one could take the house back.

"No, we have consulted with lawyers on this matter, and they have also said that the court will enforce it."

Jia Zhang's words reminded Sha Zhu of what he had said to the lawyer at that time.

"Playing rogue? Not moving out?" The lawyer didn't expect Sha Zhu to ask this question. "That's impossible. The court will enforce it. If you still don't follow the court's decision after the court enforces it, then you will be sentenced to three to five years."

Sha Zhu repeated the lawyer's words again.

"What does three to five years mean?" Jia Zhang was a little confused. She had never heard of these professional terms before.

"Of course, he will be in there for another three to five years." Bang Geng lowered his head and explained to his grandmother with gritted teeth. "That won't work." Jia Zhang shook her head like a rattle after hearing Bang Geng's explanation, "Bang Geng can't go in there again."

"Shazhu, what does the lawyer suggest we do?" Qin Huairu also understood this logic. Banggeng is almost forty years old now, and has accomplished nothing. If he goes in for another three to five years, he will be a complete waste when he comes out again.

"I suggest we settle it out of court." Sha Zhu shook his head. He had almost accepted this result.

"What does out-of-court settlement mean...?"

How Qin Huairu hoped that Sha Zhu would deny her guess.

"It means reconciling with Lee Seung-ri before the trial, but according to Lee Seung-ri's intention, the house will be transferred to him."

When Lee Seung-ri came over the day before yesterday, he made it very clear that either he had to pay back the money or give him the house.

Their family couldn't raise much money right now, so they had no choice but to give him the house.

"Can't I talk to him?" Qin Huairu still held out a glimmer of hope.

"You've seen that the relationship between Li Shengli and our family is really bad. The first uncle has become like that again. The second and third uncles are useless. Moreover, I think they have been acting sneaky these past two days. I don't know what they want to do."

Sha Zhu had already noticed the disgusted looks on Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong's faces when they were having dinner these past two days, and he also had some guesses.

"Then give the house to Li Shengli. We can't let Bang Geng in again because of this." Qin Huairu made this decision. Although she felt a little sad, the house was not theirs before, so she felt a little better.

"Okay, I'll go find Lee Seung-ri tomorrow, transfer the house and ask him to withdraw the lawsuit as soon as possible." Sha Zhu felt sorry for the house. He had lived in it for decades and had developed feelings for it.

Fortunately, he felt heartbroken when he transferred the house to Banggeng before, so he didn’t feel so sad this time.

The next day, Shazhu brought Banggeng to find Li Shengli.

"Shazhu, Banggeng, what's up?" Li Shengli sighed, feeling annoyed with the two. He thought they were here to plead for mercy. "Let's make it clear in advance. There's no need to talk about the house. I've already filed a lawsuit."

"I say, Li Shengli, we have been neighbors for such a long time, are you so cruel that you insist on taking my house away?"

Sha Zhu still wanted to struggle a little longer. If he really wanted to sell the house, it would cost more than just this little money.

"Don't say anything, Silly Zhu, this is all your own fault. Who made you give birth to such a cheap son?"

After saying this, Li Shengli couldn't help but click his tongue twice. Shazhu's life was ruined, he had no children. He didn't know what happened to Xiaodang and Huaihua, but it was obvious that this Banggeng could not provide for him in his old age.

Now that he still owes such a huge debt, it seems that he will have to work like a workhorse for the Jia family from now on.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Let's transfer the house to the owner, and then you can go to court to withdraw the lawsuit."

Sha Zhu was too lazy to pay attention to Li Shengli and just told him what they had agreed on.
