Chapter 228 This is our home
Xu Sui was still worried about the old lady, so she quickly followed her. Whenever something seemed wrong, she would go up to help.
She brought this person all the way here, so she has to be responsible for them. If something happens, how will she explain it to her family?
While banging on the door, Old Lady Qin was spitting and cursing at the people inside.
"Open the door! Open the door now! You have the nerve to occupy someone else's house, but you can't even open the door?"
Soon, the people inside the house also heard the commotion.
The door opened, and Liu Xiaoling, who had just gotten married not long ago, came out of the house. The whole house was decorated with big red double happiness characters and colorful ribbons, clearly indicating that it was a newlywed's home.
As soon as the door opened, she was hit in the face by a spray of spittle from Old Mrs. Qin's cursing, which smelled like water from the toilet.
Liu Xiaoling, a young wife who had just gotten married, couldn't stand it. She immediately changed her expression and started jumping up and down on the spot.
She quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her face and then launched into a tirade against Old Lady Qin.
"Are you crazy, old woman? What are you doing here at my doorstep? You even spat in my face, it stinks!"
"Get out, get out of here, go somewhere else to go crazy."
Look at her sallow and shabby appearance; she's no different from those old beggars in the countryside. She's probably here to cause trouble.
Old Mrs. Qin was even angrier now. Her chest heaved violently, her old face turned down, and her slanted eyes added a touch of fierceness and meanness. She pointed at Liu Xiaoling and cursed her, making the woman so angry that she almost died.
"So, you're the one who forcibly occupied our house, and now you dare to turn around and slander me, an old man."
"Let me tell you, this house you're living in right now belongs to our family. You'd better move out right now, or don't blame us for being rude to you."
Looking at this pretty young woman, how could she be so shameless, daring to be so arrogant in stealing someone else's house?
The commotion quickly grew, and all the neighbors in the courtyard came to see what was going on.
I saw that Old Lady Qin and Liu Xiaoling were arguing about the house.
Those people were also completely confused.
Except for the house on the south side, which has always been empty and uninhabited, all the other houses in their small courtyard are inhabited.
These days, every family is crammed together, with no place to even settle down. It's not that no one has ever seen a house that's empty and tried to take it over.
However, the house was always locked, and no one knew where the owner lived or what the situation was, so no one dared to make a move first.
Until a few months ago, no one moved into the house.
It was a newlywed couple and an old lady. The old lady lived with her newlywed son and daughter-in-law. The house on the south side was large, about 70 or 80 square meters. The three of them lived there, and it was very spacious. Everyone in the courtyard was envious.
Gao Aifen, who lived in the same courtyard, noticed that Xu Sui, standing behind Old Lady Qin, was a stranger. Xu Sui didn't seem like an unreasonable person, so Gao Aifen boldly walked over and stood beside her, asking in a low voice:
"Hey girl, what's going on here? It sounds like it's about a house to me?"
Xu Sui kept a close eye on the conflict between Grandma Qin and Zhang Xiaoling, ready to help if anything happened. When someone came over to ask, she didn't hide anything and spoke the truth.
"Sister-in-law, this house belongs to our family. The property certificate from the housing authority still lists my husband's name. My husband is a soldier and is currently serving in the military."
"I wanted to move here with my elderly parents and children, but I never expected that strangers would move into our house."
"Well, the old lady in the family was so angry that she couldn't help but knock on the door to find out what was going on."
"What?" Gao Aifen was stunned and didn't quite understand. She looked at Zhang Xiaoling, who was arguing fiercely with the old lady, and then at Xu Sui, who looked very serious.
"This...this house belongs to your family?"
She has lived in this place for five or six years, and since she moved in, she has never seen anyone live in the house.
She even asked her mother-in-law about it.
After asking around, I learned that the family used to live there, but they moved away and never came back. Some people said they went abroad, while others said they were taken away by their son to enjoy a better life. In short, there were all sorts of rumors.
Xu Sui nodded, and took out the housing certificate stamped by the Beijing Municipal Housing Administration Bureau from her small handbag and showed it to Gao Aifen. She pointed to the name in the homeowner column.
"Sister-in-law, I have proof. This is my husband's name."
"It can't be wrong."
"Since everyone in the same courtyard is here today, I would like to ask you all to be witnesses and see who this house actually belongs to."
Xu Sui not only showed it to Gao Aifen, but also turned around and walked to the neighbors who were watching the commotion, showing them one by one the black and white words on the paper in her hand.
The house belongs to everyone present; they all have one of these things in their homes and are quite familiar with it.
Moreover, no one in Zhang Xiaoling's family is named Gu Yunzhou.
With clear and undeniable evidence, almost everyone believed Xu Sui immediately, and their gazes toward Zhang Xiaoling, who had almost come to blows with the old lady, became strange.
Gao Aifen was a kind-hearted person. She was the first to stand up and question them without any mercy. She even ran up and stood between the two of them.
"Xiaoling, they have a written property certificate, stamped with the housing authority's seal, and it has the man's name on it."
"You didn't really seize someone's house, did you? If so, that's really unethical of you. How can you do things like that?"
Aunt Ge, who was in the courtyard, also stepped forward. "Yes, Xiaoling, you can't do this kind of thing. You should move out quickly and return the house to its rightful owner."
Others followed suit and stood up, saying, "Xiaoling, this is what you did wrong. Even if you're married and don't have a place to live, you can't forcibly take someone else's house. Move out quickly and give the house back to them."
Old Mrs. Qin put her hands on her hips and rolled her eyes at Zhang Xiaoling, whose face was flushed with anger.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and vacate the house for us. Also, your family has lived in our house for so long and ruined it like this. You can't skimp on the compensation you owe."
"If even a single cent is missing, I'll go to the police station and let everyone see what kind of shameless family you are."
Xu Sui walked over and stood next to Old Lady Qin, looking at Zhang Xiaoling without backing down in the slightest. Her voice was reasonable and her gaze was steady.
"My grandmother is right. What you've done is really unethical. You should move what needs to be moved and pay what needs to be paid."
"I hope you can resolve all of this today and give us an explanation. Otherwise, go and call the police and the street office. Then we'll deal with this matter as it comes."
She's starting school in a few days and really doesn't have time to argue with these people.
Therefore, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible.
Zhang Xiaoling raised her hand to tidy up her hair and clothes that had been messed up by Old Lady Qin.
Looking up at these people, it was as if they were lunatics.
"That's ridiculous. You say this house is yours, but does that mean it's yours?"
"Could it be that they're not here to scam people?"
