Chapter 320: Sightseeing Group Check-in
Hu Meili has always been a person with a sharp tongue, and over the years, she has rarely been defeated.
But her popularity has always been average. There are people who have a good relationship with her, but there are even more people who have quarreled with her.
Since moving to this street, Hu Meili's topic has always been about her son, daughter, son-in-law, and two grandchildren...
There are three children in the family, and they all got into college. The eldest son was sent abroad as a government-sponsored student, the second daughter started graduate school before she finished college, the youngest son is studying in another city, and I heard his grades are pretty good. The son-in-law is also very hardworking, and he became a deputy regiment commander at a young age. He is also studying at a military academy in Beijing. After he returns from further studies, he will definitely be promoted to a full regiment commander...
It’s fine if the adults are doing well, but Hu Meili also likes to show off her Dabao and Xiaobao at home. They are handsome, healthy, smart, and can learn things quickly. They have inherited the advantages of their parents and will definitely be promising in the future...
It would be strange if people could accept Hu Meili's behavior if she showed off like this.
Before her home was robbed, the women on the street could only find fault with Hu Meili's academic qualifications, saying, "Your child is a good student, but what does it have to do with you? You didn't even graduate from elementary school."
After their house was robbed, they became even more confident when they refuted Hu Meili.
"Keep your voice down. Is this something worth making public? Aren't you afraid of being robbed again?"
"If you ask me, the thief must have robbed the wrong person. Your Xiaolin is a spendthrift. He spent all his money on food, drink and entertainment. There shouldn't be much left at home. The color TV is very heavy. No wonder he failed to steal it."
Hu Meili had no idea how much private money Lin Xiangnan had. She had never said to anyone that Lin Xiangnan was a rich woman.
Showing off money is too superficial. Just talking about academic qualifications and the benefits of the workplace, everyone can imagine the superior life at home. There is no need to talk about money.
"Everyone on the street knows about my family's situation. How come no one else came to steal things, but only Feng Zhaodi wanted to steal? It shows that some people are bad from the beginning! Extremely bad!"
As soon as Hu Meili said this, the elder sister beside her reminded her: "Don't mention this person. If the Feng family hears about it, they will come to trouble you again."
"How dare they! I will scold them to death!"
Feng Zhaodi from the next yard was an accomplice who helped steal the color TV, so it was their family that was in the wrong.
But after Feng Zhaodi was sentenced to three months in prison, the Feng family began to blame Hu Meili, thinking that Hu Meili had let them down.
At first, the Feng family came to Hu Meili to plead for mercy.
"Our Zhaodi didn't mean it. She just said it casually and didn't mean to do anything. Isn't your TV still in good condition? Why are you holding our Zhaodi accountable?"
Hu Meili didn't even let anyone make trouble in front of Lin Xiangnan, she just scolded them back.
"I've never seen a thief act so self-righteously as in your house. He deserves to be caught! If you don't catch him, who knows what he will steal in the future..."
In this matter, both Gu Zhenhua and Professor Wang had connections involved, so how could Hu Meili possibly hold her family back?
The two sides exchanged insults, but because Hu Meili was right, she had the upper hand.
But after Feng Zhaodi was sentenced to three months, the surrounding public opinion seemed to change quietly, because everyone sympathized with the weak, and Feng Zhaodi was an old neighbor who had lived on this street for many years, and many of her colleagues from the same factory lived nearby...
Even though Feng Zhaodi was the one who was wrong, when Hu Meili scolded her, most of the people around her tried to persuade Hu Meili.
There were a few people who tried to persuade Hu Meili, but they were not just on the Feng family's side. They were worried that if a fight broke out, Hu Meili would suffer.
When the law is not sound, using fists to enforce reason is a universal principle. Hu Meili's family is usually small, but the Feng family has a lot of men, women, young and old. If a fight really breaks out, Hu Meili might suffer.
I can't fight him, and I don't feel comfortable scolding him.
Hu Meili felt so aggrieved that she was still gritting her teeth after returning home.
Seeing her like this, Lin Xiangnan didn't dare to get close to her and just spent money to buy peace.
After receiving the task assigned by Lin Xiangnan, Huang Xiaogang and his group either moved out their mother or their grandmother.
"Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals. I heard from Sister Lin that the Feng family has some powerful mouths. I'm afraid I can't handle it, so you have to do it, grandma. Just curse as much as you want, and I'll stand by your side to protect you."
When Lin Xiangnan returned home for lunch the next day, he saw the drama from afar.
Huang Xiaogang and his gang came with a bunch of older women to curse people.
"This is the family of Feng Zhaodi who stole the color TV. They can raise a thief like her. It's obvious that this is a den of thieves."
"Tsk tsk tsk, there's a thief in our house, but the Feng family refuses to bow their heads and even dares to glare at us. They are so shameless."
"That's right, this family is just dung beetles wearing masks, so shameless!"
The old lady of the Feng family had a gloomy face and scolded the ladies in the tour group: "Who are you? You come to my house to give orders? Get out of here!"
"I heard there was a thief in your house, so I can't even come to see the fun."
"You are so bold that you actually stole someone's color TV. I'm afraid you must have stolen a lot of needles and thread. You are obviously full of bad intentions, and you even have the nerve to go out and embarrass yourself."
When Hu Meili saw this situation, she acted as if she had found her half-sisters. She handed the two children to the big dog Wuyun to look after them, and went out to fan the flames and add fuel to the fire.
As soon as she appeared, Huang Xiaogang and the others became more aggressive.
At first they were still concerned about their image, but as soon as Hu Meili appeared, they started to curse her, saying things like "giving birth to sons without an assholes", "shameless bastard" and "old bastard".
The children at home said that the employer is generous and if you make him happy, you might be able to get a raise.
It was too noisy outside, and Dabao and Xiaobao stretched their necks, wanting to go out and see what was going on. But Wuyun was standing at the door, blocking them.
"Wuyun, let's go out and find grandma! Get out of the way!"
Wuyun looked at them both with contempt, swung his tail, and remained unmoved.
Dabao wanted to hold the dog's head down so that Xiaobao could go out first. Wuyun shook his head and broke free from Dabao's hand, then caught up with Xiaobao and pushed him to the ground with his two front paws.
After kicking the man to the ground, Wuyun bit Xiaobao's clothes lightly and dragged him back from the yard gate.
After dragging Xiaobao, Wuyun went to drag Dabao, and no one could escape.
In the end, the two children could only sit at the door with Wuyun.
If you take one more step forward, the dark clouds will make a "roaring" sound and give you a warning with their eyes.
When Lin Xiangnan rode his bike back to the street, Dabao saw him from afar and waved at him excitedly, wanting Lin Xiangnan to help them lift the ban.
It turned out that Lin Xiangnan was also unreliable. He didn't notice them at all. He just parked his bicycle casually against the wall and joined the crowd to watch the fun.
