Thinking of living in Ma Xiu Lan's house, Zhao Xingjia immediately went to knock on Aunt Li's door.
"Open the door quickly, my mom doesn't want to rent this house anymore, you guys should move out quickly, we want to live here now."
Zhao Xingye did not stop him and let the second son charge forward. Although his mother had the leverage over his father, his eldest brother and third sister were about to take the college entrance examination. His mother would definitely not cause trouble at this critical juncture and might even give in. They would have a house to live in and would not have to spend money on renting one.
Aunt Li originally just wanted to lean on the window to watch the fun, but she didn't expect the fire to burn herself.
"Xiu Lan rented this house to me. It's no use telling me you don't want to rent it anymore."
Zhao Xingjia was furious: "How can it be useless? I am my mother's biological son. How can my mother watch her son and pregnant daughter-in-law live on the streets? You guys should vacate the house quickly."
Aunt Li's heart skipped a beat. Everyone could see how good Ma Xiu Lan was to the children. She especially spoiled the second child who had been weak since childhood and also coaxed his wife.
But she was reluctant to give the house back like this. The house was close to her son's home, and they could eat together and take care of each other. She didn't have to live in the same room with her daughter-in-law. She was reluctant to vacate the house.
She turned around and called out to her family to support her.
At Aunt Li's call, her husband, son, and grandchildren all came to support her. The yard was so small that the other three families, Niu Chunhua, Aunt Qian, and Zheng Laizi's family, also came out to watch when they heard something.
Aunt Li briefly explained the situation and the neighbors began to talk about it.
Niu Chunhua was indignant: "When Xiulan divorced, Zhao Youcai said that his three children would not support Ma Xiulan in her old age. Now he is thinking about Xiulan's house again. He doesn't support Xiulan in her old age but wants to live in someone else's house. How can he be so shameless?"
"What man has the nerve to bring his mother to live in his ex-wife's house?"
Zhao Xingjia also didn't want Old Lady Wang to move in. It was too smelly and too crowded.
"Zhao Xingye and I are the only ones living in this house, so why is it not okay?"
Zhao Youcai, who was abandoned, felt resentful, but he did not dare to show it in front of others, otherwise what would he do if his two sons exposed his past?
He originally wanted to leave, but he thought that if Zhao Xingjia succeeded, he could move in without any shame.
Aunt Qian couldn't bear it: "Zhao Xingjia, this is the house rented by Aunt Li and your mother. If you two brothers want to live here, you can ask your mother to come and discuss it with Aunt Li tomorrow. Why are you kicking them out now?"
Chen Zhenzhen puffed out her barely noticeable belly:
"They have a house in our yard, so they can go back and live there. I'm pregnant and about to end up on the streets. If they were normal, loving people, they would have packed up and left immediately."
Niu Chunhua sneered: "Why should they have any love for you? Why ...
At the very least, he should apologize to Xiulan, instead of just driving Aunt Li away without going through Xiulan.
Aunt Li's son is very cunning and has already run to find Ma Xiulan.
Zhao Xingjia saw that the others were still talking, and he yelled angrily: "What does this have to do with you? Why are you always causing trouble? My family rented out the house, and I can take it back if I want."
After saying that, he took advantage of the chaos to go into the house. Aunt Li was afraid of the cold, so the coal stove was burning brightly and the house was very warm. Zhao Xingjia didn't want to leave even more.
"We're staying here tonight. You guys should move out right away. How could my mother bear to leave her pregnant daughter-in-law without a place to stay in the middle of the night?"
Chen Zhenzhen, Zhao Yang, and Zhang Zhaodi also hid inside. Although the Li family had many people, they didn't dare to take action. They were probably afraid that if something happened to the two pregnant women, they would blame them.
Zhang Zhaodi pulled Zhao Xingye in, and Zhao Youcai also squeezed in, using the excuse that he was afraid that Old Lady Wang would get frozen.
Aunt Li and Uncle Li were shouting and cursing outside the house. This was the scene Ma Xiu Lan saw when she came over on her bicycle with a flashlight.
"Zhao Xingjia, Zhao Xingye, what are you doing here in my house? Hurry up and leave."
Zhao Xingjia was startled when he saw Ma Xiulan coming, but he quickly became confident and said that it was his mother who had caused them to this point: "Mom, your grandson and I have no place to live, so please let us live here."
Ma Xiulan frowned and said, "Don't call me mom. I've severed all ties with you. You have no place to live, and it has nothing to do with me."
Zhang Zhaodi softened. "Mom, please stop saying those angry words. Do you really want us to kneel down and beg you?"
Chen Zhenzhen said coldly, "She's just selfish. She lives in a big room with a yard on Longyang Street, and she gave this room to a few of us, and she even expects us to kowtow in gratitude."
Zhao Xingjia felt it was unfair after hearing what Chen Zhenzhen said: "We should live in a big house. Xingmin is just a girl, and my eldest brother is a live-in son-in-law. Do they deserve to live in a nice house?"
Ma Xiu Lan was too lazy to argue with them any further. They all thought that mothers should contribute to everything, and they also felt that they had not contributed enough and resented her.
"If you don't leave, I'll go to the police station and report you for disturbing public order."
Zhao Xingye couldn't hide any longer. They still had to take the college entrance examination, and they couldn't have a criminal record.
"Mom, do you have to be so ruthless? Aren't you afraid that things will change over time? There may be a time when you won't beg us for help."
As soon as he was admitted to university, he immediately asked Zhao Xingjia to report Ma Xiu Lan for speculation and profiteering.
He didn't report Ma Xiu Lan now because he was afraid that if it got out, his reputation would be ruined if a son reported his own mother. He was also afraid that Ma Xiu Lan would go to jail and affect his political review.
Ma Xiulan saw the threat in Zhao Xingye's eyes and said in a cold voice:
"I can make some money renting this house out, and I'm giving it to you guys to live in, but you still complain about how poorly I'm letting you live. You're eating my food and scolding me. How stupid am I to even bother to get involved with you?"
"If you don't leave now, I'll report you to the police."
Chen Zhenzhen deliberately muttered loudly to Zhao Xingjia, "How could there be such a vicious mother in the world? She has a house yet she lets her son and grandson live on the streets. She will definitely suffer retribution in the future and be struck by lightning."
She just wanted Ma Xiulan to hear it.
Let everyone know Ma Xiulan's ruthlessness.
But I didn't expect that I couldn't laugh anymore the next moment.
