Fighting for inheritance with sister-in-law

I thought it was a moral obligation to take care of one's parents.

Besides, I was taking care of my own parents.

I took out my phone.

Then, I said to Lisbeth, "Come on. Check it yourself. If I ever got a penny from them, I will immediately give 100 thousand dollars to you."

At this time, Ralph stood between us and tried to smooth things over.

He said to me, "Come on. Don't say that to Lisbeth. Just tell her that you won't have that money. We are all family. Don't be so harsh."

When I heard his words, I became even angrier and exploded.

"Ralph, I'm not joking with you. You've been educated, so you should know that one's daughter and son have equal inheritance rights, right? Just look at how bad her attitude is. What's wrong for me to argue with her over that one million dollars? Even if it's only 100 dollars, I still won't allow Lisbeth to get my share."

When Ralph heard this, his face instantly turned gloomy.

"You really wanna force me, Lacey?"

I really didn't want to waste my time arguing with Ralph. It seemed that in Ralph's eyes, money was the most important thing, even if it meant that he had to force our mom.

But Lisbeth didn't give up.

She snorted at me, "Which family's daughter still gets the inheritance? In our hometown, women have to give money to their family every year even after they get married."

When I saw my tearful mom beside me, I felt so sad for her in my heart.

Lamont had just died, but Ralph and Lisbeth had already begun to plan how to get all the inheritance.

When Lamont was still alive, he was respected in the village because he was a teacher.

And many parents would go to him to discuss family matters.

But now, our family was in a mess. If Lamont knew about this, he would probably be furious.

I calmed down a little and spoke to Lisbeth.

"Lisbeth, I don't believe my family didn't give you any money to let you buy those two houses. If you dare to force my mom again, I will have a serious talk with you about your houses."

Lisbeth was intimidated by me and stopped making a fuss.

When we were handling Lamont's funeral affairs in the village, Lisbeth happily told everyone that my parents had one million dollars in savings.

Lisbeth also said that when her son got married, she could get a dowry of at least 200 thousand dollars. After she got the money, she could buy another house in the city area.

In that case, she would have three houses.

Lisbeth kept showing off about it.

Now, everyone in the village knew about this.

Someone remarked, "Well. I didn't expect the Bagehot family to be so rich. Now that Lamont is dead, I bet his son and daughter will be so happy since they can have all his money."

I had been suppressing my anger throughout the funeral.

When it came to settling accounts, Lisbeth acted dumb and said nothing about how to divide that one million dollars.

Last night, my mom cried and told me that Lisbeth probably didn't intend to give her a penny.

I told Lisbeth, "Mom found the will at home. It's written on it that Mom will get 500 thousand dollars, and I and my brother will split the remaining 500 thousand dollars."

Lisbeth's face instantly darkened.

"The will means nothing, okay? I'm telling you, this money is all mine, and you won't get a penny. Besides, your mom is so old. What's the use of her having so much money?"

Lisbeth's words made me so angry that I smashed the cup in my hand directly on the ground.

"Lisbeth, you're really shameless. Just because you have the check doesn't mean that you will have all the money."

Lisbeth grabbed my mom's collar and said angrily, "Tell her if the money is useless in your hand! You still have some money in your pocket, and that's enough. Are you really gonna have that 500 thousand? I'm telling you, if you dare to give the money to your daughter, we won't come to look after you when you get old. Just let your daughter help you."

My mom was still in a daze. Lamont had gone, and no one in the family could be more heartbroken than her.

Lamont used to be the head of the family. And now, without him, my mom seemed to have aged a lot overnight.

"You took my mom's money, yet you still dare to bully her?" I really wanted to kick Lisbeth hard.

But considering that my nephew was still here, I didn't do anything.
