An hour later, they arrived at Vlento Court, reaching the entrance of Block 6.
Coincidentally, Maria and her group were also standing outside Block 6, with Maria introducing the neighborhood to Joel's family.
As Arthur and the others got out of the car, they bumped into Maria's group.
Feigning surprise, Arthur exclaimed, "Maria? What are you doing here?"
Maria played her part just as convincingly. "Arthur, I thought you were at the hospital with Mom. Why are you here?"
Arthur replied, "Grandpa and Grandma come to Kitmore City to stay with us. Dad wants to transfer this apartment to Gavin's family, so I brought them to look at the house."
"Claire said this apartment is to be transferred to us," Joel excitedly interjected. "We arrived first and told Maria, so you can't take our house."
In a city, even a slightly off location was still better than a county town.
They preferred this two-bedroom apartment over their old, somewhat worn-out three-bedroom house in the county.
"What do you mean it's your house?" Gavin and his wife snapped back angrily. "The house belongs to the Donovan family. They can give it to whoever they want. You don't get to decide.
"Besides, traditionally, family matters are decided by men. Claire must listen to Wesley. If Wesley says it's ours, then it is. Claire's word doesn't count."
"The Donovan family doesn't favor sons over daughters," Joel argued back. "Don't you know the Donovan family? Wesley listens to his wife for everything.
"Claire's word is like a decree in the Donovan family. If she says the house is ours, then it is. You have no claim to it."
The two parties argued passionately, ready to fight.
Seeing this, Ronan quickly stepped between the couples to mediate. "You're family. No need to quarrel.
"I think the house can be transferred to all of our names. Both you should have a share..."
When Gavin and Joel heard this, they thought it was a good idea. If everyone had a share, they wouldn't have to worry about others coveting their house.
However, just as they thought this, Arthur shook his head. "That won't work."
"To receive relocation compensation, the people registered on the household must be legal residents."
"Both Gavin and Joel have an obligation to support their parents and grandparents. Only one party can be registered with Grandpa and Grandma. But they both are married with children and already have houses in the county, so they can't possibly stay in the two-bedroom apartment with the elders.
"Only one cousin can be registered with Grandpa, Grandma, Claire, and Wesley.
"Otherwise, if hundreds of people live in the relocation house, they'd get hundreds of houses as compensation. The state would go bankrupt!"
Maria frowned as well. "While we're all family, there's only one relocation house. You need to negotiate who gets the house."
"If I don't want the relocation house, can you provide us with a new house?" Joel asked, dreaming. "There are five of us, and we don't require one each. Just a 250-square-yard new house from your family would be enough."
Coincidentally, Maria and her group were also standing outside Block 6, with Maria introducing the neighborhood to Joel's family.
