"Who called the police? What happened?"
Director Chen from the Women's Federation also looked at Zhou Fengmei: "Fengmei, what happened?"
The neighborhood committee member looked at Song Xia, whose hair was disheveled, and shook her head slightly at Sun Xiurong. She lived nearby, so she had heard a little about the Qin family's affairs. She didn't expect it to escalate to the point of calling the police and the Women's Federation. Sun Xiurong was being far too unreasonable.
Upon seeing so many people, Sun Xiurong immediately glared at Song Xia angrily: "So you've actually called so many people to back you up? Do you think calling the police will do any good? It's my house, I won't let you live there, can the police force me to?"
Her tone was so arrogant that the police and the women's federation immediately focused their attention on her and frowned.
Zhou Fengmei stepped forward and said, "I was the one who called the police and made the phone call. It was Sun Xiurong who was bullying me, so I wanted to find someone to uphold justice for Song Xia."
"what is going on?"
So the old neighbors took turns telling their stories, recounting Song Xia's grievances over the years and Sun Xiurong's shamelessness. The police were also at a loss, since it was a family matter and nothing illegal had been done. They could only offer advice and couldn't force Sun Xiurong to do anything. Moreover, as she herself said, the house was in her name, so she did have the right to prevent people from living there.
“Aunt Sun, harmony in the family brings prosperity. People have taken care of your family for so many years. You can’t just leave them without a place to stay after your son leaves, can you?”
Sun Xiurong put her hands on her hips and said, "I'm not letting her stay here. Go ahead and arrest me if you dare."
The women's federation also advised, "Sister Sun, this is unreasonable of you. You should have some conscience."
"You're all criticizing me, what conscience do I have left? Get out of my house, who let you in?" Since no one was on her side, Sun Xiurong no longer needed to hold back. Didn't they all think she wasn't a good person? Why should she bother with them?
"Where do you expect Xiao Song to go so late at night?"
"I don't care where she goes, it's none of my business if she dies out there."
"At the very least, you should give her some money so she can settle into a hotel first."
"Pah! You already swindled two thousand yuan from me, and now you want my money back? No way!"
Sun Xiurong was about to close the door when she spoke, and everyone was so angry that they couldn't do anything about it. Song Xia stopped her with her foot: "Fine, if you won't let me stay, I have nothing to say. Then can I take my things?"
Sun Xiurong's eyes flickered: "Things? What do you have?"
Seeing her like this, the neighbors sensed something was wrong and said, "That's right, Xiao Song's personal belongings and changes of clothes are her personal items. You can't just stop her from having them."
Sun Xiurong retorted, "How do I know she won't stay here after coming in to take something? And if she takes my valuables, will you compensate me?"
"The police are right here, what could they possibly take from you?"
"Sun Xiurong, you didn't throw all their things away, did you? Otherwise, why are you feeling guilty?"
"Oh my, you know what, I saw her throwing a lot of things into the trash can first thing this morning."
Zhou Fengmei took Song Xia's hand and said, "Come on, Miss Song, let's go inside and get it."
"Stop right there! Who gave you permission to enter my home? This is trespassing!"
"You still know how to talk about the law? According to the law, did you give your son's money to the other party? If you really threw away Xiao Song's things, that would also be illegally disposing of other people's property."
The police officer stood in front of Sun Xiurong with a serious expression: "Ma'am, please cooperate with Miss Song to retrieve her belongings."
With these words and a stop, Zhou Fengmei and Song Xia opened the door to the room. What was left inside? Not a single piece of clothing remained in the wardrobe, and the skincare products on the dressing table were also gone.
Song Xia opened the drawer in a panic: "Where are my documents? Did you throw them away too?"
"What documents, Song Xia? Don't talk nonsense." Sun Xiurong was telling the truth this time, because Song Xia had already taken the crucial documents, but no one believed her anymore.
The old neighbors took the opportunity to squeeze in, and some busybodies even opened the shoe cabinet to take a look. Sure enough, there wasn't a single pair of shoes belonging to Song Xia. They immediately clicked their tongues and said, "Sun Xiurong, you've really gone to a lot of trouble. In just one day, you've managed to throw away all of Song Xia's things."
"You're really going too far, officer. She threw away someone else's things without permission. Now you can do something about it, right?"
The young police officer nodded. He had only been in this area for a short time. Although he had encountered many strange things before, this was the first time he had seen something as bizarre as today. It was the new century, and there were still such wicked mothers-in-law! He had certainly broadened his horizons!
So he asked Song Xia, "Miss Song, how much have you lost?"
"Clothes and shoes are fine, I haven't bought much over the years, and they're all old and not worth much."
Upon hearing this, Sun Xiurong immediately put her hands on her hips and raised her head: "Did you hear that? Worthless? Can worthless things be investigated?"
"Shut up! Miss Song hasn't finished speaking yet!"
Song Xia paused for a moment and continued, "The key thing is that some of my documents are missing. They include my graduation certificate, marriage certificate, work certificate, and so on. Also, when I married Zhenwu, there was a gold bracelet that my mother gave me, which I put in the pocket of an old black coat."
"You're talking nonsense! Where did you get a gold bracelet? I've never seen one before!"
“Although Zhenwu didn’t buy it for me, I did have one, and I wore it on my wedding day.”
"She really wore it." Granny Liu picked up the photo album in the living room. Perhaps because Qin Zhenwu was in the album or something, it hadn't been thrown away by Sun Xiurong. There was a wedding photo of the two of them, and Song Xia's gold bracelet was captured in the picture.
"This is it, my mom gave it to me." Song Xia's eyes were red as she said to Sun Xiurong, "Mom, did you search my pockets when you threw my clothes away? I'm begging you, please give me back my gold bracelet, okay?"
"Who has time to search your tattered clothes? Maybe your things are already gone and you're blaming me."
The item was indeed missing. Song Xia knew it wasn't lost this time, but she was certain that either Sun Xiurong hid it or Qin Yuping took it. In any case, no matter who had it, she was determined to get it back from Sun Xiurong this time.
“Still arguing, Sun Xiurong. Whether you admit it or not, you did throw other people’s things, so you have to pay for it.”
"What compensation? What evidence do you have to prove that the gold bracelet was inside that dress?"
"you!"
The police officer said righteously, "Then come with me to the police station for investigation. Even without the gold bracelet, the total value of the things you threw away is enough for us to file a case."
"You're bullying me! Help! The police are bullying an old woman like me!" Sun Xiurong sat on the ground and threw a tantrum, then called her daughter and son-in-law, "Come quick! Song Xia is up to no good, she's sent people to bully your mother!"
