Zhang Laosi: "Don't meddle. Go to the backyard and ask what's going on. Has the guy surnamed Ding already run away due to the relocation?"

"He wouldn't dare! This is our house, and the compensation should go to us even if it's relocation compensation!" Zhang's wife was anxious. The relocation compensation was worth millions, how could it be allowed to go to that Ding guy?

“This is our house, our land, why should the Ding family relocate us?” Zhang Lao Er’s wife shouted.

Zhang Laosi rubbed his forehead and went to the backyard, where Li Mancang and Wu Zhiqi were discussing how to decorate their new house.

"Brother Li, why was our front yard house demolished?" Old Zhang poked his head into the house.

"Xiao Ding was relocated, and the developer came and demolished it," Li Mancang said calmly.

Old Zhang's heart sank. "That's my house! Why should the Ding family be allowed to relocate it?"

Li Mancang: How would we know?

Zhang Laosi turned and went back to the front yard. The Zhang family members all looked at him and asked, "What's going on?"

"The Ding family has moved out of the relocation area," Zhang Laosi said, his chest heaving.

"What about the relocation compensation?" Zhang's wife asked.

"It must have been taken by that guy surnamed Ding. He ran away after taking the money," Zhang said through gritted teeth.

"So what do we do?" The Zhang family was at a loss. They didn't expect the Ding family to act so quickly. Their worst-case scenario was to split the relocation compensation for the house in half.

“We’ll make a scene here. If the developer doesn’t pay us, nobody can get back into this place,” Zhang Laosi said with a gloomy face.

"Leave the old lady at the door and see who dares to touch her. If they don't give us money, they can forget about touching this yard," Zhang Lao Er's wife chimed in. This concerned the interests of everyone in the Zhang family. If they missed this opportunity, they would never be able to earn so much money in their entire lives.

"This family is acting like idiots. They tried to take over the house by force, and when that failed, they wanted to take over our whole courtyard," Aunt Yuan muttered to Uncle Ge.

"Don't pay them any attention. They want to occupy Tiananmen Square. Do you think you can stop them?" Grandpa Ge sneered.

"You're just dreaming. Old Mrs. Zhang will be dragged to her death sooner or later." Aunt Yuan was soft-hearted and looked at Aunt Zhang. She felt sorry for her. It's really hard to get old. Maybe she should just take some medicine and die sooner.

"Sigh," Uncle Ge sighed as well. Although the two families had some conflicts, they had known each other for decades, and it was still hard to bear to see them like this.

Just as the Zhang family was about to place Aunt Zhang at the front gate, several burly men entered, picked her up, and carried her away.

"What are you doing? Where are you taking my mother? Put her down, hey..." The Zhang family hurriedly chased after them.

The burly man moved quickly, carrying Aunt Zhang out of the alley and heading straight for the nearby police station. The person in charge of the developer's relocation had already gone to the police station to report the incident.

It's not that the matter couldn't be resolved in the courtyard, but the developer was afraid someone would die there, since construction hadn't even started yet—it was considered bad luck—so they took the person directly to the police station to resolve the issue.

When the police saw that it was a member of the Zhang family, they gave them a lecture and warned them that if they dared to carry the old lady out to extort money again, they would all be detained.

The Zhang family stubbornly insisted that the house belonged to them.

"Whoever owns the property certificate owns the house. Stop making trouble. Don't think that by acting like this, they will compromise and give you compensation for the demolition. If everyone acted like this, society would be in chaos. This is the last time I'm warning you," the police officer warned sternly.

The Zhang family was given a lecture, and then they carried Aunt Zhang away.
