Chapter 1017: Fortune and Misfortune
The woman became even angrier when she saw that the woman denied it and even accused her first.
"How can it not have anything to do with your family? If it weren't for your family's betrayal, crying 'stop thief' to curse the staff who saved us, and then taking matters into your own hands by making a scene online, causing everyone to criticize you. It's one thing that you deserve your greed, but you've also tarnished the reputation of our entire community."
“My niece and her boyfriend had planned to get married at the end of the year, but now, when the groom’s family found out that her family lived in our neighborhood, they worried that their future in-laws would be like yours—unreasonable and unreasonable scoundrels—and forced the couple to break up. And you still say it has nothing to do with your family? Pshaw!”
The two were arguing quite a bit, and soon many residents were attracted by their noise.
Upon hearing the woman's words, some of the "victims" who had previously dared not challenge this family also became enraged and gathered around, vying to echo her words.
“Auntie is right, it’s you who have ruined the reputation of our community! Yesterday I went for a job interview, and after I filled out the information form, the HR didn’t even give me a chance to be interviewed and just told me to leave. The reason was that I live in Pink Garden Community and am a resident of this community, and they don’t accept people from our community because they are afraid of being scammed.”
"You're lucky. I went back to work a couple of days ago and found that everyone was secretly isolating and ostracizing me. People were even pointing and talking about me on the street. Later, I asked some people I knew and found out that I wrote down our neighborhood address when I joined the company, and some scoundrel leaked it."
Now nobody in the company dares to approach me, and my boss is making things difficult for me at every turn, all to make me think I'll be smart and resign. And all of this is thanks to you. If you hadn't caused this mess and tarnished our neighborhood's reputation, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
"That's right, that's right, it's all your fault!"
That's why they say you don't know the pain until the knife cuts you. When they kept silent, they never imagined that the fire would spread to them.
The fire has not only spread, but it's burning intensely and causing immense pain. How can they remain silent and quiet now?
The family that made such a fuss never expected that their actions would not only fail to achieve their goal of distributing the property according to the amount of noise, but would also cause trouble.
Especially now, they finally understand the pain of being unable to explain themselves.
You should know that the aunt in this family is known for her shrewishness in the neighborhood, and her son is known for his scoundrels.
In the past, they were the ones who would pester and take advantage of others, but today, with so many people blocking the door and cursing at her, the old lady was furious. Just like usual, she was ready to retaliate as soon as she opened her mouth.
"What do I care if your niece can't get married? I'm not saying this to be mean, but with her ugly face and all the makeup she wears, she looks so effeminate. Who knows how messy her private life is? The guy probably already doesn't like her anymore and wants to dump her. It's just an excuse. You actually believed it? It's ridiculous."
"You need not even mention it. You graduated from a third-rate university, you're broke and ugly, and you wear the same clothes every day. People can tell you're poor and shabby just by looking at you. It would be a miracle if you were accepted. I think you're only fit to stay at home and sponge off your parents."
"And you, people are isolating and ostracizing you. With that mean face of yours, and people owing you tens of thousands every day, who would want to be nice to you and fawn over you? And your boss is making things difficult for you. If you ask me, it's because you're not capable enough. You can't do anything right. If you continue like this, you won't even need to resign. Your boss probably won't be able to stand you and will fire you."
The older woman, single-handedly taking on several opponents, spoke with great enthusiasm and held her own.
Unexpectedly, her words only added fuel to the fire for everyone else.
There were already many people, so they were confident. If the fire got out of control, few could hold back. Finally, they raised their fists and started beating the family.
The scene became somewhat chaotic, and the video stopped playing.
The onlookers were surprised to find that there was more to this story, and many cheered when they saw the family being beaten.
Of course, some people feel that it is wrong to use violence to solve problems, especially since the crime should not be committed by the public. Why should the whole community take the blame for the trouble caused by these few households?
But sometimes, in order to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, people will subconsciously condemn everyone in a group.
Just like those who, because of the mutations in plants and animals that cause harm, clamor to eliminate all stray animals and uproot every tree and blade of grass in the city to ensure safety.
Because Pink Garden Community was once again targeted by trending topics, Lin Wanrong's mutated Corgi was inevitably dug up by the media, who attempted to use public opinion to incite crisis theories and cause panic.
Everyone inevitably recalled that the original poster's post had mentioned at the beginning the official protection of mutated plants and animals, which made everyone in their community feel insecure.
However, because of the previous two videos that proved them wrong, many people are hesitant to take sides this time. Only a few people who are more extreme in their views are hurling insults and demanding an explanation from the authorities.
Lin Wanrong has been paying close attention to the online situation these past few days, and even took the initiative to stand up for Ye Wanxi as a resident of the community when she was being attacked.
Unfortunately, public opinion was overwhelmingly against her at the time. Her words of support were immediately attacked by online trolls and haters. She, the person who spoke the truth, was labeled as a fake bystander and silenced, unable to speak out any further.
When Lin Wanrong suddenly noticed that everyone was bringing up the topic of her own Banban, her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately had a bad feeling.
The online abuse directed at her and Banban reminded her of how the residents of her community treated them, the pet owners, before the mutated banyan tree appeared.
For a moment, Lin Wanrong felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, fearing that her superiors would take away her blemishes to appease these people and quell the unrest.
However, to everyone's surprise, Ye Wanxi, who had never spoken up to defend herself when she was being insulted by the entire internet because the poster took things out of context, stood up because of this news that had nothing to do with her.
Wanxi is not expressing regret [V]: Everything in the world has its good and bad aspects; fortune and misfortune are interdependent and complementary. Mutations can be good or bad; they cannot be generalized.
Upon seeing this brief line of words, Lin Wanrong felt a lump in her throat, and tears streamed down her face.
The little babbler, held in her arms, was awakened by Lin Wanrong's tears. Realizing that its owner was not in a good mood, it immediately looked up and leaned over, carefully licking the tears off her face. Its little paws patted her hands intermittently, as if trying to comfort her.
