He stuffed cotton balls into his ears and endured it all night. The next morning, Zhou Yi got himself ready, ate something, and then went out and upstairs.
He felt that he should communicate with the people upstairs, as they were all neighbors. Although the current tube-shaped buildings don't have sayings like "a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor", communication is still necessary.
Perhaps this neighbor himself did not realize that his behavior had affected others...
Thinking about these things, Zhou Yi came to the 17th floor, found the corresponding door, and started knocking.
No response, no way, did he go out?
Look at the time. It’s only a little after eight o’clock and he hasn’t gotten up yet.
He knocked on the door a few more times, but there was still no response. Zhou Yi didn't know what to do.
He came specifically to communicate and solve the problem, so if the other party was not there, he would have to come later.
However, since he was already here, he might as well ask the neighbor next door. Zhou Yi thought about it and went forward to knock on the door next door.
This time, I didn't have to wait long. Soon someone opened the door. Upon closer inspection, I saw an old lady with completely white hair.
"Young man, who are you looking for?" The old lady opened the door and saw Zhou Yi, with a little surprise on her face.
Zhou Yi quickly replied, "Grandma, I'm looking for... looking for this house. Your neighbor has something to do. Is he out?"
"Oh, they should be out by now. What's the matter? Do you have something to do with them?" asked the old lady.
"There is indeed something going on... It's like this. I'm a resident downstairs. I just moved in the day before yesterday. This family is...very noisy every night. They happen to live upstairs from me, and the noise is too loud. I can't sleep well, so I want to tell them..." Zhou Yi said carefully.
He didn't know what the relationship between the old lady and her neighbors was, so he didn't want to say anything too extreme.
However, the old lady laughed as soon as she heard it: "I was saying, there was all sorts of noise downstairs yesterday, it turns out you moved in, ok young man, come in and sit for a while."
Zhou Yi naturally followed the old lady in since she invited him. It seemed that the old lady should know something about the situation.
"There's only me and my old man at home. He went out to buy groceries. You can sit wherever you want." The old lady walking in front said.
After sitting down, the old lady was busy pouring tea and washing fruits, which made Zhou Yi a little restless.
He also knew that these older generations were particularly enthusiastic towards their neighbors, just like his deceased grandfather.
From time to time, I would invite my neighbors to have a drink.
"Hey grandma, don't take it, I just had dinner."
It took a lot of persuasion to persuade her, otherwise the old lady would have just opened the watermelon.
After waiting for the old lady to sit down and chat for a few minutes, Zhou Yi learned that the old lady's surname was Liu. She used to be a teacher and had been living here since her retirement.
He had only one son, and he went to great lengths to send him abroad to study, but he ended up staying there and never came back. He got married and had children there.
Since their son had a bright future, the parents could only wish him the best and wanted to take him in, but the old lady refused.
She felt that everyone here was her friend. If she went abroad, not only would she not know anyone, she wouldn't even understand what they said. It would be better for her to live comfortably here.
After some useless small talk, Old Lady Liu finally said, "You bought that house, right? Actually, you really didn't choose the right one!"
"Ah? Grandma, what does this mean?"
The old lady shook her head and said, "Do you know why the previous owner of your house wanted to sell it?"
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "I don't know about that... Wait, are you saying it's because of this family?"
He could sense something was wrong from the words, but he really didn't know about the house because it was all arranged by the system.
"Yes, it's because of this family. You don't know, young man, this family is very powerful..."
The old lady was telling the story and Zhou Yi listened very carefully. According to the old lady, the family's surname was Xu, the couple were both in their fifties, and they mainly took care of a grandson.
The grandson was just at the age where dogs would dislike him. He was so naughty and mischievous. At night, he would run around and play all over the house, and there would be all kinds of noises from time to time.
The previous family suffered greatly from this. They contacted the property management, the community, and even called the police, but it was all in vain.
In the end, there was really no other choice but to sell the house and move away.
Even Zhou Yi could hear the helplessness in the voice, or one could say that this was the fate of an honest person encountering a cheater.
You think you can reason with the other party, but the other party does this without any intention of reasoning with you.
When you've searched everyone and still found no solution, the only two options left are to fight back or move away.
For those who have families, working hard is not an option these days, so they had no choice but to move away.
After knowing this, Zhou Yi could only shake his head. There are really all kinds of weird things these days.
As for the residents next to them, they are basically all elderly people, so the impact is not that big.
Moreover, when people get old, most of them are still unwilling to argue with others.
"This family is a bunch of scoundrels, especially that woman. I'm telling you, young man, don't mess with them. That woman is really a bitch!"
"So young man, don't mess with them."
The old lady tried to persuade him kindly, but Zhou Yi still shook his head and said, "Grandma, there's nothing I can do. It's not that I want to provoke them, but they are the ones who keep me awake."
"Don't worry, I'll think of a solution first."
