Chapter 134: Crying

The next day at noon.

Su Nanzhi, holding a cloth bag in one hand and leaning on a crutch in the other, came to the door of the old house tremblingly with the support of Xue Shuang.

Because it was just after get off work, Baihua Lane was much busier than when Su Nanzhi came yesterday.

Su Nanzhi's frail appearance attracted a lot of attention.

Xue Shuang couldn't help but whispered to Su Nanzhi excitedly, "Sister Nanzhi, when you have time, please teach me how to put on makeup."

As he spoke, he looked at Su Nanzhi's pale, bloodless face, his eyes full of admiration.

If he hadn't watched Su Nanzhi put on her makeup the whole morning, he would have thought that Su Nanzhi had fallen seriously ill overnight.

His parents were so anxious that they almost sent Su Nanzhi to the hospital.

It was only after Su Nanzhi ran around the yard several times without even getting out of breath that his parents believed that Su Nanzhi was not really sick.

Su Nanzhi ignored him and was still fully immersed in playing the role of a patient.

"Xue family boy, who is this?"

Someone knew Xue Shuang and couldn't help but start gossiping.

As if influenced by Su Nanzhi's acting, Xue Shuang looked sad and said, "This is my sister Nanzhi, the daughter of Uncle Su Minglang."

When it comes to Su Nanzhi's name, no one may know her, but when it comes to Su Minglang's name, almost all the old residents in Baihua Lane know her.

As soon as they heard that it was Su Minglang's daughter, everyone immediately came closer out of curiosity and started talking in front of Su Nanzhi.

"He looks exactly like Minglang."

"You just don't look good, are you sick?"

"You haven't been back for so many years, why are you back suddenly this time?"

…

Although the neighbors' questions were a bit inappropriate, Su Nanzhi needed these inappropriate questions right now, as it would save her from having to find a way to reveal her purpose to others.

Su Nanzhi began to cough violently. Seeing the neighbors hurriedly pushing back, she explained halfheartedly, "Don't worry, my disease is not contagious, cough cough..."

If you hadn't said this, no one would have been so scared. But as soon as you said this, everyone took a few steps back in tacit understanding.

"I'm sick, cough cough." Su Nanzhi said the first half of the sentence and started coughing violently, "The sicker you are, the more you want to go back home. I can't stay in the countryside anymore. I want to go back home and live out the rest of my life well, cough cough..."

After hearing this, everyone looked at Su Nanzhi with more sympathy.

But someone soon grasped the key point of her words.

"Didn't you sell your old house?"

Su Nanzhi looked at the person who was speaking, with just the right amount of confusion on her face.

"Sold? How come I didn't know?"

Everyone started talking again.

"Huang Baogui is the family that lives in your house now. They have lived here for more than ten years. They keep saying that this house belongs to them."

"Yes, his wife always looks up at the sky when she goes out."

"But his family rented out the house a few days ago."

"Yes, yes, yes. I heard from Huang Baogui that his family is a little short of money recently, and he wants to use the rent money to supplement the household expenses."

…

Su Nanzhi looked at the expressions of the people when they talked about Huang Baogui, and could tell that Huang Baogui was not well-liked in Baihua Lane.

Her eyes rolled, and she began to cough violently, crying, "My dear uncles, I don't know any Huang Baogui. When my father was alive, he said that he would leave the old house to me to find a son-in-law. How could he sell the old house?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately looked at each other, and then their faces were filled with anger.

Soon, a caring neighbor knocked on the door of the old house.

The door was quickly opened, and the woman that Su Nanzhi and Xue Shuang had met yesterday soon appeared behind the door.

The woman looked a little confused when she saw the huge crowd of people gathered at the door. When she saw Su Nanzhi and Xue Shuang in the crowd, her puzzled expression deepened.

"What are you doing at my doorstep in the middle of the day when you have nothing to do?"

"My family has already had lunch, so there are no leftovers."

The corner of Su Nanzhi's mouth twitched. In order to climb up, Huang Baogui didn't know how he could tolerate such a wife with no emotional intelligence.

In fact, Su Nanzhi recognized the woman at a glance yesterday as Huang Baogui’s wife Lu Qiaoyun.

Although Su Nanzhi and Lu Qiaoyun had contact in the previous life, Lu Qiaoyun was much older than she is now. Perhaps it was society that taught her how to behave. Although she sometimes spoke unpleasantly, she still spoke human language most of the time.

I didn't expect that at this time, saying that Lu Qiaoyun had no emotional intelligence was an insult to the word emotional intelligence.

Sure enough, when the neighbors heard what Lu Qiaoyun said, their faces turned extremely ugly, and some of them immediately laughed at her.

"Your home? Lu Qiaoyun, is this really your home?"

"Yes, now that the real owner is back, you and your family should get out as soon as possible."

"Ever since your family moved to Baihua Lane, we haven't had a peaceful life."

…

Although Lu Qiaoyun has no emotional intelligence, he still has basic IQ, and he realized that the girl standing in the middle is Su Nanzhi, the former owner of his house.

Although she felt a little guilty, she put her hands on her hips and cursed back at everyone's accusations.

"Lao Zhou, you're talking bullshit. Believe it or not, I'll have my dad kick you out of the sugar factory."

"And you, Aunt Guihua, does your son still want to work in the tractor factory?"

Although Su Nanzhi didn't know who Lao Zhou and Aunt Guihua were, the crowd instantly quieted down after Lu Qiaoyun finished speaking.

It seems that the Lu family still has some power in Zhoushan County.

Fortunately, Su Nanzhi never relies on others to help her.

Lu Qiaoyun showed a smug look on her face and looked at Su Nanzhi and said, "You said this is your house, so it's your house?"

"Then I said the Forbidden City is my home, get out, get out now."

As she said this, she pretended to close the gate.

Su Nanzhi narrowed her eyes and cried out, "This is a cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest, bullying others by taking advantage of their power."

"I'm an orphan. I don't have a father who's the deputy director of a sugar factory, and a husband who's a tractor driver. I can't get the house back home. I feel so sorry for my parents."

"I don't have much time left anyway, so I might as well crash into the front door and die today."

As he spoke, Su Nanzhi gave Xue Shuang a look and rushed towards the gate pillar.

When she was only two steps away from the pillar, Xue Shuang grabbed her and held her still.

The people around her gasped in shock at her actions.

Su Nanzhi said nothing, just sat on the ground and cried.

Xue Shuang was also shocked. Although she knew it was fake, she was still infected by Su Nanzhi. She cried and pulled Su Nanzhi, shouting, "Woo woo, Sister Nanzhi, let's go report the Lu family for being domineering and occupying other people's houses. They are forcing people to death."

"If the county doesn't respond, we'll file a complaint with the provincial capital. If the provincial capital doesn't respond, we'll file a complaint with Taipei City."

"I just don't believe we can't get justice."

This time, the person who was shocked turned out to be Lu Qiaoyun. Although she didn't think Su Nanzhi had such big breasts that she could report her to the provincial capital or Taipei City, what if it happened?

If her father's job is really affected by this, it would be more trouble than good.

Looking at Su Nanzhi who was coughing violently, Lu Qiaoyun repeated to herself several times that this was a short-lived ghost and she just had to endure it for a while. This time, she forced a smile on her face that was uglier than crying.

"You, girl, you're looking for death after just a few words. You're really angry. No wonder you're sick."

"I didn't say this house was mine, and I don't know the person who bought it. If you want to settle accounts, go find someone else."

Xue Shuang said sarcastically, "It's not yours. How could you live in this house for more than ten years? You just stole Sister Nanzhi's old house."

Naturally, Lu Qiaoyun would not admit the crime, but just followed what Huang Baogui taught her and refused to admit it.

"The landlord's family is out of town, and we have no contact with them."

Su Nanzhi seemed to be invigorated after hearing this. "You said this house belongs to someone else? Show me the title deed of the house, otherwise you are encroaching on my house."

Lu Qiaoyun naturally couldn't produce the property certificate, and neither could Su Nanzhi.

The former was because the Lu family did not have enough power to find someone to do it a few years ago, but later they had the ability. It was just that Su Nanzhi was weak and could be bullied. They thought that the Su family's old house was firmly in their hands. When they discovered that Su Nanzhi's personality had changed drastically, they did not have time to register the house in their own home.

Since Su Nanzhi couldn't get the property certificate, it was naturally related to the Lu family.

The Lu family has some connections in Zhoushan County. Although they cannot immediately register someone else's house as their own, they can add layers of obstacles to Su Nanzhi's process of obtaining a property certificate.

So the eldest brother, let alone the second brother, can live in the yard as a tenant, so why can't she, Su Nanzhi, as the landlord, move in?

Although she had thought that Su Nanzhi would move in, Lu Qiaoyun's face still looked extremely ugly.

She opened the door with a look as if her whole family had died. After driving away the neighbors who came to watch the fun, she welcomed Su Nanzhi and Xue Shuang into the house.

"All the empty rooms have been rented out, leaving only the foot room empty."

Looking at the room with a big hole in the window, Lu Qiaoyun showed a proud look on her face.

Even if Su Nanzhi moved in, she would still have to live in the servants' room.

Xue Shuang saw the foot room with a look of dissatisfaction on his face. His eyes fell on the side rooms and he was about to speak.

Several people walked out of the east and west wing rooms.
