Others said that she had someone to rely on, but the old woman privately said to others: "I am just trying to comfort her. When I die, I will have sold this house long ago."
Later, I found out that the house was really sold seven or eight years ago. The old woman lied to people that she would take care of her in her old age. After she died, if the distant niece moved in, she would find that the house was not hers at all.
The old woman would extort money from people from time to time, but she didn’t do it every day. She would extort money once every one or two months, depending on how long she could spend the money she extorted last time.
"Evil will be punished by evil." Li Yutong understood.
Zhu Dahong yelled that even pigs wouldn't eat it, but the old woman, despite her age, grabbed Zhu Dahong and jumped up, slapping her in the face: "Bullshit."
Zhu Dahong had never been hit in the face before except by her own man. When she was hit suddenly, she pushed him away subconsciously: "You old woman, how dare you hit someone! Why don't you ask who I, Zhu Dahong, am?"
She put her hands on her hips and glared angrily.
At this time, many people had gathered to watch the fun.
Chen Xiaoying did not dare to get to the front, for fear that Zhu Dahong would yell and drag her into it. She had also suffered from the old woman's anger before. When a waiter in the store was sweeping the floor, the water accidentally splashed on her trouser legs, and she immediately talked about how expensive her trousers were. She refused to buy her a pair and asked for twenty yuan.
Seeing that she was so old, and afraid that she would get sick from being angry, she gritted her teeth and gave it to him.
At this moment, Zhu Dahong actually dared to push her. He was a tough guy on this street.
The old woman fell to the ground and said, "Oh my God! Someone is being beaten! Someone is being beaten! The Japanese devils have entered the village and are killing people."
She cried and howled in a very loud voice, but there were no tears, but her face was full of pain, as if she had been stabbed.
She crawled over, hugged the dumbfounded Zhu Dahong, and banged her head against her legs: "Please hit me to death, I won't live anymore, oh my God, I won't live anymore."
"Beat me to death, beat me to death..."
Zhu Dahong was at a loss and started to panic. This is a civilized society. Who would dare to beat someone to death in the street?
"I just pushed you like that. When did I hit you? Don't blame me."
Zhu Dahong began to search the crowd to see if there was anyone he knew who could say a few good words for them.
When Chen Xiaoying saw her like this, she quickly pulled Li Yutong away.
"Hey, isn't this my elder sister? Don't leave. This is all a misunderstanding. Please help me speak up."
Since her name was not called, Chen Xiaoying pretended that it was not her who was called and ran away quickly.
Zhu Dahong was so angry that she fell backwards: "What the hell!"
Zhu Dahong had no choice but to spend money to avoid disaster, so he offered to compensate the old woman two dollars.
Two dollars?
The old woman didn't like it at all. The water from the opposite side splashed on her trouser legs, and she had to pay 20 yuan as compensation. She wanted to get rid of her with just two yuan?
The situation continued unabated, and business in the surrounding area was at a standstill, so someone called the police.
The old woman didn't go to the Public Security Bureau, she just pestered Zhu Dahong for money.
She has been hanging around on this street all her life and has suffered this kind of bullying. She asked for fifty yuan and threatened to be hospitalized if she didn't give it to her, saying that she had broken her waist.
Zhu Dahong felt so sad that she could not even cry. She always cheated others. This time, she was caught in a trap and got cheated.
The police also asked her to pay fifty dollars to avoid disaster. Isn't this asking for her life?
Ma Hongxiu is already looking at houses with the real estate agent.
Su Wanping didn't have much strength. She had already asked Chen Xiaoying for a few days off and planned to entertain her daughter and son-in-law while she had a rest.
She was lying in her room in a daze when she heard the door open.
Ma Hongxiu was leading people in: "It's here, come in and take a look."
Su Wanping was stunned for a moment, thinking that Ma Hongxiu had brought her friends with her. She didn't say anything. She quickly got up, combed her hair, and walked out.
As a result, when the door opened, three strangers were seen. A man in his thirties was introducing the house to a couple behind him.
"You just saw the environment of this neighborhood. Look at this house. Even though it is more than 20 years old, it has a good layout and the owner has maintained it well. The living room has plenty of light and the furniture is about 70% to 80% new."
"Look at this glass, it's clean, and look at this bathroom..."
A couple looked here and there, nodding their heads.
Su Wanping looked at this and her heart sank.
Her adopted daughter Ma Hongxiu said with a smile: "If you pay a little more, I will sell you all the furniture in this house. Look, there is everything. When the time comes, you can just take your own quilt and clothes and move in. It's so convenient. You don't have to decorate the house."
The couple was quite satisfied.
"It's an OK floor, the third floor, not too high or too low."
"It's OK, but I'm afraid my daughter-in-law won't like it because it's a second-hand house."
Ma Hongxiu immediately introduced: "Second-hand houses have their own prices. The buildings built nowadays are not as good as those built in the past. Moreover, the environment of this community also needs to be considered. Most of the people living here are cadres from various units in the county. They usually see each other every day. If you have any problems in the future, you will be able to find a way, right?"
That makes sense.
The couple began to nod again.
However, I saw a pale old lady next to me: "Who is this?"
I haven’t heard that there are people living in the house that is being sold?
Ma Hongxiu quickly said, "I am your mother. Don't worry. If you buy this house today, we can move out today and make room for you."
"Hong Xiu?" This was the place where she had lived for more than 20 years. It was filled with memories of her time with Ma Guoming. She felt very upset when she just left it like that. Couldn't she be given some time off?
"Mom, you don't understand anything about selling a house, can you please stop talking!" Ma Hongxiu frowned and said with disdain.
Su Wanping's heart felt like it was being stabbed by needles. She opened her mouth, but the words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter them.
She couldn't help feeling depressed. Sell it, sell it. It would have to be sold sooner or later anyway. One or two days won't matter.
She wiped her tears and went back to her room.
This situation is not right. The couple who bought the house are also very cautious: "Whose name is this house written in? Let us take a look first."
Ma Hongxiu was prepared. She pushed the door open and called Su Wanping, "Mom, where's the property deed? Take it out and show it to me."
Su Wanping glanced at the drawer next to her. Ma Hongxiu was annoyed by her dawdling: "Why are you so slow?"
The real estate agent, who knew the situation of the house, didn't say anything except about the house from beginning to end. He looked at the old lady with sympathy.
Ma Hongxiu took the property deed and opened it directly to show the couple.
The only name written was that it was owned by Ma Guoming and Su Wanping.
Ma Guoming is no longer with us, and this house belongs to Su Wanping alone.
Ma Hongxiu felt uncomfortable when she saw Su Wanping's name. Before she went abroad, someone introduced her to a boyfriend. She was wary and wanted Ma Guoming to change the house title to her name.
This way, as a girl who owns a house, it would be easier for her to find a partner with better conditions.
Anyway, she is their only daughter, and the house will be hers sooner or later.
