Su Jianguo sneered.
"As far as I know, the house you lived in was a staff dormitory allocated to Zhang Tiezhu by the railway bureau. The property rights belonged to the railway bureau, but the right to use it belonged to Zhang Tiezhu. Now that Zhang Tiezhu has passed away, my daughter, as his spouse, has the right to inherit the right to use it. And you..."
He paused deliberately.
"If I remember correctly, your household registration is still in the countryside, right?"
Zhang's mother's face turned deathly pale instantly. Her three brothers exchanged bewildered glances, clearly not expecting Su Jianguo to bring up the house.
"You...you're talking nonsense!"
Zhang's mother's voice began to tremble.
"That house was allocated to me by my son's work unit, so it should be mine!"
Director Wang coughed lightly.
"Grandma Zhang, Comrade Su is right. The right to use the staff dormitory should indeed be inherited by the immediate family members. According to regulations, the spouse is the first in line of heirs."
"fart!"
Zhang's mother suddenly screamed hysterically.
"You've all ganged up on this old woman! Tiezhu, open your eyes and see! Your body is barely cold, and someone's already trying to kick your mother out!"
She cried and pounded her chest, while her three brothers stood up and surrounded Su Jianguo menacingly.
"Hey, you surnamed Su, don't go too far!"
Zhang Tieshan rolled up his sleeves, revealing his muscular arms.
"You dare touch my aunt's house? I'll make you regret it!"
Director Wang quickly stood up to smooth things over.
"Calm down! This is the railway bureau office, not a place for you to fight!"
He turned to Zhang's mother.
“Mrs. Zhang, Comrade Su’s demands are completely legal. If you do not agree to negotiation, then we will have no choice but to go through legal procedures.”
"I don't care about the law! That's my son's hard-earned money!"
Old Mrs. Zhang screamed, then jumped up from her chair and pointed at Su Yufen, cursing.
"If you hadn't taken the child back to your parents' home, would my son have died? You still want the money my son left me? Aren't you afraid he'll come looking for you when he gets back at night?"
Su Yufen was frightened by the appearance of Old Mrs. Zhang.
He took a few steps back.
Upon seeing this, Su Jianguo quickly stood in front of his eldest daughter.
Director Wang pushed up his glasses, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes behind the lenses.
As the railway bureau's leader specializing in handling such matters, he had seen too many such scenes, and each time he dealt with them, they were still a headache.
"Mrs. Zhang, please calm down. The distribution of compensation is governed by law; it's not something you can do as you please."
"Law? Law is worthless!"
Grandma Zhang suddenly turned around and overturned the coffee table in front of her. The teacup crashed to the ground with a loud bang, scattering shards of porcelain everywhere.
She pounced on Su Yufen like a mad hen.
"I'll beat you to death, you piece of trash!"
Su Jianguo reacted quickly and pulled his daughter behind him.
He then stretched out his foot and kicked the old lady who was rushing towards him away.
"Ouch..."
Grandma Zhang fell flat on her face, but Su Jianguo hadn't used much force and wasn't injured.
"mom!"
Su Yufen cried out in surprise, tears welling up in her eyes.
"How could you do this? I'm also very sad that Tiezhu is gone..."
"You're sad? You wish he were dead!"
Grandma Zhang lay on the ground, screaming hysterically.
"My son hasn't had a single good day since he married you!"
A crowd of onlookers had already gathered outside the office, some pointing and whispering, others taking out sunflower seeds to crack open.
Director Wang's face grew increasingly grim, and he suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up.
"That's enough!"
The shout startled the old lady Zhang for a moment, but she quickly escalated her anger.
"Your railway bureau is bullying us! You've teamed up to rob us, a widow and her orphan!"
As she spoke, she plopped down on the ground, slapped her thigh, and began to wail.
"Hey, Tiezhu, open your eyes and look! You just left and someone's already bullying your mother..."
Upon seeing this, the three Zhang brothers immediately stepped forward, glaring menacingly at Su Jianguo and Director Wang.
"Zhang Tieshan, who was in charge, said arrogantly."
"This matter is not over until the Zhang family receives an explanation!"
Director Wang sneered. In all his years as a railway bureau leader, this was the first time he had ever encountered someone who dared to threaten him.
It's important to understand that the railway system in those days was an independent system. No matter where you were, people from the railway bureau were highly sought after. The title of "Railway Boss" wasn't given lightly.
Director Wang glanced contemptuously at the three Zhang brothers, who were swaggering around there, and pressed the red button on the table.
In less than a minute, four fully armed railway police officers rushed in, all with pistols at their waists and batons in their hands.
The railway bureau has its own police station.
"You lot are disrupting the railway bureau's operations and threatening its staff. Do you know the consequences?"
Director Wang's voice was as cold as ice.
Grandma Zhang's crying stopped abruptly. She looked at the police officers in horror, her lips trembling but unable to utter a word.
When the three Zhang brothers saw the four railway policemen enter, they shrank back and retreated to the side.
They're not really stupid; they actually dare to go against the police.
"Now, can we talk properly?"
Director Wang sat down again and straightened his tie.
Su Jianguo noticed a flash of resentment in Old Mrs. Zhang's eyes, but she finally dared not make a scene anymore, only muttering under her breath.
"You...you're bullying us because of your power..."
"It's not that we're bullying you, it's that you're being unreasonable."
