No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 902: Inheritance or Burden
"I'll give you the ancestral house." The unfilial son was still an unfilial son. When he heard that Harry was going to rent the old house for Kechery, he said it directly in a rush. He didn't remember that legally, the house had already belonged to Harry. When he said this, he actually agreed to Harry returning the property to him.

"That's great, Harry. There's an old Chinese proverb that says that a gift from an elder should not be refused by a younger generation. Otherwise, it would be impolite. Besides, if that place belonged to you, Kechery wouldn't have to change the environment." Ou Mengmeng hurriedly gave both parties a way out. "Sirius, you are so generous and thoughtful. I thank you on behalf of Kechery."

"It's nothing!" Sirius felt like something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"Very good, sign it, I'll have someone do it." Ou Mengmeng was very happy, and quickly wrote the agreement of Harry's gift of property to Sirius. It was similar to what Sirius had written before, but this agreement did not include 12 Grimmauld Place and Kechery. And Sirius did not need to sign it. Ou Mengmeng talked to him for a long time, in fact, just to let him know and agree to this matter. After writing it and letting Harry Potter sign it, Ou Mengmeng sent the agreement to his own legal team by owl. They filed a lawsuit for compensation at the Ministry of Magic, which was just a side job.

Kechery was moved. He held Harry's hand and wiped his tears. "Don't worry, young master. Old Kechery will protect number 12 Grimmauld Place for you."

"As long as you are happy." Harry smiled at him and gently touched his forehead. Harry still thought that little Penny was helping old Ketchley to fight for a living environment. He never thought that the house was Ou Mengmeng's goal. This is an old house that you have money but nowhere to buy! It is also in the prime location of London.

Hermione looked at Harry speechlessly. She knew Harry didn't understand, but she decided not to remind him. Petunia only wanted that house in the beginning! Little Petunia really didn't care about the others. Now it's good. The house and the treasures in it are all Harry's. Old Culcherey is better at keeping money than Sirius.

Snape looked at Sirius like a stupid dog. He was the one who saw the most clearly among them. Didn't he have gold galleons? Although they were not as valuable as the ancient inheritance, he was not short of gold galleons. And the most valuable of all Sirius's property was the old house. It was a legacy and a foundation, which he could not give to Harry.

And what Petunia did just now was not just to help Harry get the house. She was separating the house from Sirius and drawing a clear line!
If the property was not returned, Sirius would have to live with Harry. As a guardian and godfather who gave all the property to little Harry, he would live in the old house as the old master. No one would dare to say anything, and old Ketchley would have to endure it.

The main thing is that Sirius doesn't know how to be polite. Didn't you see that he just asked for custody of little Harry? He must not understand the meaning behind it. All he wants is to be with Harry. He really treats Harry as his own child.

That's why it's troublesome. Petunia obviously won't agree. Even though little Harry has been living with them for the past few years, basically, Harry is becoming more and more independent. Just look at how he lives with himself these days. It shows a lot of details. She is also very soft-hearted. If Sirius is allowed to live with him, he will really be raising an old son and he won't be able to do anything about it. Because they pay him!

At this time, Snape liked Petunia more and more, and Petunia probably thought of this. So the first thing she did was to return the money on the grounds that his current situation was different. In this way, little Harry could establish a person with a correct outlook on life. We are not greedy for your money. We had no choice at that time.

Then, they used Old Couchley as a starting point, forcing Harry to ask Sirius for help. Compared with Sirius, Harry was obviously closer to Old Couchley. Old Couchley had no problem telling them about his wishes, but Harry, who had no mother, how could he let Old Couchley leave his mother? So, Harry had to get a house for Old Couchley. This was not a house, but Old Couchley's home.

When this information reached Sirius's ears, he naturally thought of the elf heads hanging in the stairwell. He certainly didn't want to return to the home that disgusted him and made him feel depressed. Of course, he never cared about the place that disgusted him. Naturally, they led him to agree to give the house and Kechery to Harry. This is a very important step. Going to this step also shows that Sirius has begun to realize the issue of property in his subconscious mind. There is a difference between yours and mine. At this time, he not only took back his property, but also began to move towards independence.

And with this division, Sirius could no longer live in Grimmauld Place. This back and forth was actually a declaration of sovereignty. Sirius no longer had anything to do with that place.

Harry didn't understand, and neither did Sirius, but they didn't need to understand, as long as Kechery understood. He finally put the Black family's inheritance into Harry's hands.

Ou Mengmeng nodded, looked at the book, and looked up at Sirius, "Well, you and James Potter are so good friends, do you know Potter Manor?"

"It was sold a long time ago. After the old Potters passed away, James felt that the place was too big..."

"Who did you sell it to? Can we discuss and buy it back?" Ou Mengmeng pressed him down. She really couldn't stand to hear this.

"Why do you want to buy it back, dear Petunia? Did you know that your mother also wants to sell Derwent Manor? But there is an inheritance statement, which must be kept..." Sirius did not understand these people's thoughts at all. "You know, a manor is different from an ordinary house. Because it occupies a large area, it has to pay a sum of money to the Muggle government every year. James feels that he cannot be bound by high taxes like those impoverished Muggle nobles. I heard that many Muggle nobles were eventually dragged to death by their own territories. He doesn't want Harry to be burdened by his ancestors."

Ou Mengmeng nodded. She understood. A manor covers a large area, and it is not a small house in the wilderness like the Burrow. If a Confusion Charm is cast, the Muggles will subconsciously avoid it. They will not see that there is an ugly house in the vast expanse. Of course, the premise is that this is really a small and inconspicuous place.

For example, the Draco family owns a manor, and they have products on their manor, which cannot be hidden. Therefore, the Malfoy family also has a title in the Muggle world, and the manor is the Malfoy family's Muggle fiefdom.

Ou Mengmeng propped up her head, thought about it, and looked at Harry, "What do you think? To some extent, what your father thinks makes sense."

To a prodigal son, it is a burden; and now the new rich in the United States all have a special liking for the mansions of the old British aristocracy, and they all hope to get a title to show that they are not just rich.
