Chapter 229 Snatching Chapters
Old Mrs. Qin had never been insulted like this before. She couldn't control herself any longer and rushed forward, grabbing Zhang Xiaoling's hair and slapping her hard across the face.
Snapped--
"Are you blind or deaf? Didn't you see we have the housing certificate from the housing authority? Didn't you hear what my granddaughter-in-law just said?"
"You're so young, I don't know what use your eyes and ears are."
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Let go, let go now! You old hag, how dare you curse me..." Zhang Xiaoling was anxious. A lot of her hair had been pulled out, and her face was red and swollen from being hit, burning with pain.
Old Mrs. Qin showed no mercy. With her unparalleled fighting power, she grabbed Zhang Xiaoling again and slapped her hard across the face several times.
"Pah! You dare insult me? You're asking for it!"
Back in the day, she was the one who beat up everyone in the entire tenement. No matter how old or young, anyone who dared to provoke her would be dragged by the hair and beaten on the ground.
It's only because she's older now that no one dares to treat her like that that she's tempered a bit.
After Xu Sui and the others had vented their anger, they stepped forward, pulled the people apart, stood between them to separate them, and had everyone present witness the scene.
Then they looked at Zhang Xiaoling, whose face was swollen from the beating, whose hair was disheveled, and who was glaring at them fiercely, but was being held back by several neighbors and could not rush up to fight.
Xu Sui didn't waste any words, her attitude was firm and she wouldn't back down. She took out the property certificate, and held it up at a distance so that Zhang Xiaoling could see it clearly.
"Lady, look carefully. This place you are staying in is my home, and the homeowner's name written here, Gu Yunzhou, is my wife."
"The evidence is right here in black and white, and it even has the seal of the housing authority. It can't be fake. On the contrary, why are you occupying our house?"
Old Mrs. Qin spat, "Pah, what else could it be? It must be that this family is shameless. They saw that no one lived here for a long time, and now they can't make a living, so they ran away and occupied someone else's house."
"How shameless! I don't know how his parents raised him."
Gao Aifen sighed and said, "Xiaoling, your family did something wrong. You two have nowhere to live after your wedding, so you can't just occupy someone else's house."
The neighbors around were talking about it, trying to stop Zhang Xiaoling from going crazy, and advising her, "Xiaoling, quickly return the house to the other party and apologize to them. You can't do such a despicable thing."
Zhang Xiaoling was already dumbfounded when Xu Sui took out the property certificate, and quickly shook her head.
"No, that's impossible. How could this house belong to you? This is clearly my father-in-law's family's old house."
"My father-in-law, Ma Chao, has lived here for so many years. Aunt Guihua, you grew up in Guihua Hutong, so you should know my father-in-law, Ma Chao. My husband's name is Ma Feng. These rooms were clearly used by my father-in-law for my husband's wedding."
"My mother-in-law, Liu Chuncao, can also testify, as can my husband, Ma Feng. They're all neighbors; don't you all know them?"
She got married a few days ago. Her family lives in a small house of about 20 square meters, with eight or nine people from all walks of life crammed together.
Her brother is getting married, and the girl's family has only one requirement: they want a separate room, even if it's small. So that her brother can get married, she and her sisters are all getting married as soon as possible.
The only requirement is to have a house and a simple family with few members.
Aunt Guihua, sitting in the corner, was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
"These rooms did belong to Ma Chao before, but didn't Ma Chao's wife die a long time ago?"
"And his wife... is not your mother-in-law Liu Chuncao, and he doesn't have a son named Ma Feng, only a daughter named Ma Qing."
"Xiaoling, are you sure you've made a mistake somewhere?"
Some of the neighbors in the same courtyard also had some impression of Ma Chao's old neighbor.
"Aunt Guihua is right. Ma Chao's wife is long gone. It can't be your mother-in-law. Your mother-in-law has been living with you all these days. We've all met her. It's not her. And your husband, we didn't know him before you moved in."
Upon hearing these words, Zhang Xiaoling's face turned pale instantly, and she collapsed to the ground, nearly fainting.
Now, everyone present understood perfectly well that they had been deceived.
Even Old Mrs. Qin had lost her fierce demeanor. She withdrew her hand and looked at Zhang Xiaoling on the ground with some sympathy.
Xu Sui had a rough idea of what was going on, but she still hadn't expected there to be such hidden details. She sighed, walked over, and helped the person up from the ground, finding a place for her to sit down.
"When are your husband and mother-in-law coming back? We need to get to the bottom of this today."
"You all need to move out as soon as possible. My whole family is currently living in a guesthouse and is waiting to move in."
While I sympathize with her, she also has a family with nowhere to go, and she can't give up her own house for someone else.
"No, no, if you move in, where will our family live?" Zhang Xiaoling suddenly became anxious and subconsciously grabbed Xu Sui's hand.
Her siblings on her maternal side all envy her, envying that she found such a good marriage partner. He not only has a job, but also a 70-80 square meter apartment. Only he and his mother live in the house, and everyone has their own room.
Unlike their home, where eight or nine people are crammed into a small 20-square-meter apartment, with barely enough room in the aisle.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaoling was unaware of the situation and could be considered a victim, Xu Sui originally helped her up out of kindness, but she was not someone to be trifled with.
Seeing the woman's attitude after learning the truth, Xu Sui pulled Zhang Xiaoling's hand away, took several steps back to distance herself from her, and her voice turned cold.
"impossible."
"This is my home. You're the ones who should be moving out."
"I was originally thinking of giving you a day to find a place to move in, but now it seems there's no need for that."
"Just go directly to the police and do whatever they say."
After saying a few words, Xu Sui didn't look at Zhang Xiaoling again. She turned to Grandma Qin and said, "Grandma, you stay here and keep an eye on things for me. I'm going to find the police."
Before coming here, she carefully observed the nearby facilities and found that there was a police station not far from the entrance of Guihua Hutong.
Putting everything else aside, it's quite convenient to contact the police when you need to get something done.
Grandma Qin nodded. "Alright, Sui Sui, go and come back soon. I'll keep watch here for you."
"There are so many people here, don't worry, it'll be fine, go ahead."
Xu Sui nodded. Just in case, she also found a few of the neighbors who had spoken up for her earlier, "Could you please keep an eye on things before the police arrive, so that nothing goes wrong?"
"We'll come to thank everyone in person after we move in in a few days."
Gao Aifen, Aunt Guihua, and the others also figured out the general situation, and naturally they wanted to help Xu Sui, who was in the right.
"It's alright, you go ahead. We'll keep an eye on things for you; nothing will happen."
"By the way, the police station is right at the entrance of the alley, it's very close, just a few steps away, go ahead."
