No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 835: Compensation
"As for the house you proposed, are you sure you just want the house below, and not a piece of land to build yourself?" Fudge put his hands in the small pockets of his vest, and his protruding belly became even rounder.

"Forget it, he doesn't have much money. My grandfather said that the commercial street needs to be extended. Can we give him a shop? In this way, he can rent it out and supplement his life." Ou Mengmeng said hurriedly. Let's talk about building a house later. He still has a house in London (in the future), so let's just build him a shop first.

"Of course! I'll talk to Lucius about this, and you can go pick one later. It will be paid for by the Ministry of Magic." Fudge said casually. In his opinion, this was not a big deal. Although the shops in the small town were a bit expensive, they were not unaffordable.

"You are so considerate. However, I think you have done so much for Harry. You must not keep it unknown. You must let the public know that you have been silently paying attention to Harry. For ten years, you have worked hard to collect old things for him. As soon as he returned, you sent them to the shop to show your appreciation for his and the Potters' contributions to the wizarding world." Ou Mengmeng said sincerely and was particularly moved.

"Isn't this... what I should do as the Minister of Magic? Although, during the war, I was not..."

"Yes, yes, so after the war, you have been working hard to make up for everyone's post-war trauma, so I think we should hold a big commendation meeting. Your hard work over the years must be known to others." Ou Mengmeng hurriedly increased her deception. She now felt that it was better to be in a fairy tale. The characters here were so simple and easy to deceive. If it were the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, she would have to lie down immediately and make sure to stay alive, even more honest than in the Red Mansion.

"It's been so many years since the war?!" Fudge was immediately tempted, but it was hard to find a reason.

"You really can't. Didn't Harry Potter just return? If you think the reason is not enough, you can say that you are compensating Neville and me. Neville's parents are both Aurors, so it can be considered as unemployed due to work. The medical expenses of both of them are paid by the Ministry of Magic, but Neville has never had the love of his parents since he was a child. This is what you have always been worried about. However, since the biggest victim, Harry Potter, cannot be found, you can't find a solution..." Ou Mengmeng's eyes lit up, and her smile became brighter and more brilliant.

"Wait, this, the Ministry of Magic doesn't have that much money." No matter what, Fudge has been the Minister of Magic for many years. A person who is addicted to power is actually not a bad person. Finding these things for Harry Potter is nothing. A shop can also exchange interests with Lucius, but it is really such a big deal to compensate the war orphans. This is not just one or two. If it is just the three of them, how much money can be spent, but many people died at that time. If this hole is opened, people will continue to come to claim compensation.

"You are so stupid. Of course the Ministry of Magic has no money, but who started the war? They are the ones responsible for the war. Uncle Lucius was not deeply involved at the beginning, but he also lost a lot of money. So shouldn't we confiscate the property of the Death Eaters? First, use it to compensate the war orphans, and second, support the construction of the wizarding world. You can set up a few more wizard settlements, and then your Ministry of Magic will build a housing project for poor wizards." Ou Mengmeng took the opportunity to offer suggestions.

"But many of them are big families, and their inheritance methods..." Fudge had long coveted the property of these Death Eaters, but the problem was that the inheritance mechanism in the wizarding world was quite complicated, so he didn't get it at first.

"Really? We can ask the Ministry of Magic's Grand Court to make a ruling! If that doesn't work, I'll ask Uncle Lucius to file a lawsuit against the Death Eaters for compensation for the war orphans. As long as the Grand Court's ruling takes effect, the property they inherited will be freed from the bloodline ties." Ou Mengmeng had studied this a long time ago. Like most laws in the world, all bills are conditional. Bloodline laws like this cannot beat the Grand Court's ruling. It's like playing cards. If you have the big and small jokers and someone plays a king bomb, you're still useless.

Fudge patted his head, realizing that he had indeed forgotten about the property during the trial. Of course, he couldn't blame himself, as he was not the Minister of Magic at that time.

He left happily, and Draco, Harry, and Hermione came out together. "Dear, did you forget to tell him that the Ministry of Magic won't get any advantage from the lawsuit?" Draco, like Fudge, put his fingers in the small vest inside his suit, but he didn't have a belly, and obviously didn't have Fudge's momentum.

"The judge will tell him!" Ou Mengmeng blinked and looked at Harry, "Are you willing? Litigation!"

"Of course!" Harry looked up. In fact, he was very happy to know that "Little Petunia" had gotten back those relics and a shop for him. A shop, whether he rented it out or used it for himself, at least he had a foundation for living in the wizarding world. As for compensation, he didn't care. However, it was not just his problem now. War orphans like him had the right to seek compensation from the Death Eaters.

"Can you please not bring this lawsuit against my dad?" Draco hurriedly looked at Ou Mengmeng.

"Oh, sorry, of course." Ou Mengmeng nodded quickly. Like Neville, he should ask Bellatrix Lestrange for compensation. However, Bella is Draco's aunt, which is a bit awkward. So this should not affect the relationship between Lucius and his wife.

"Hey, can I help you with this?" Miss Know-It-All looked excited again. She actually had great enthusiasm for everything.

"That's natural. We can discuss it in the evening." Ou Mengmeng smiled and hugged Hermione enthusiastically. This is what a triangle should be like.

Ou Mengmeng actually didn't have anything to worry about. Because she was actually quite prudent, she tried not to touch the main quests as much as possible, and she would not bother with the tasks that the Iron Trio should complete. After all, she was also afraid that the book would collapse. However, just because something didn't happen doesn't mean it won't happen. For example, the matter of the Death Eaters' property.

Ou Mengmeng thought that she should not seek compensation from a specific person, because the Porter family and her own mother were all done by the Noseless Monster, who had no property, and his precious items were kept by his confidants. As for money, he was a leader, and it was so vulgar to talk about money, so he didn't have any. So who should she sue?

So she would naturally file a lawsuit with the Supreme Wizarding Court, and the target would naturally be all the Death Eaters. This still requires the certification of the Wizarding Court. However, she didn't mind letting the smart Hermione study wizard law. She was particularly good at this. And Ou Mengmeng didn't mind letting her start from a young age. To prepare her to enter the Ministry of Magic as soon as possible and become an outstanding female Minister of Magic.

I took medicine at noon today. I took seven pills. I think it's pretty miserable. By the way, my right throat hurts. I don't know what's wrong. I'm afraid it's inflammation.
