Chapter 120 True or False
Everyone in the courtyard looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw an old man and woman coming, they looked about the same age as Old Lady Li.
Old Mrs. Li's face looked a little ugly: "Brother and sister-in-law, why are you here?"
Xu Youyou and Aunt Liu looked at each other and immediately realized that this old man and woman must be Old Lady Li’s brother and sister-in-law from her natal family, and they were the ones who wanted to kick Old Lady Li out of the house.
The man had a pair of triangular eyes, a thin face and cunning eyes. The woman had a shrewd and fierce face, with the corners of her mouth always drooping downwards. You could tell from the looks of them that they were not easy to mess with.
"If we hadn't come, how would we know that you were doing something stupid! You just make us mad!" Mrs. Li said loudly.
Mrs. Li frowned slightly: "Since I promised to move out, I won't break my promise."
Mrs. Li said, "One thing is one thing, moving out is one thing, and getting paid is one thing, don't mix them up!"
Mrs. Li said: "Whether I get paid or not is my own business."
Mrs. Li stamped her feet anxiously, "How can this be your own business? We didn't agree with you raising so many cats and dogs in the first place. You spend all your earnings on these animals. Now that a rich man has finally hired you to work, you're so stupid that you don't even want the money!"
Old Mrs. Li didn't want to talk. She really didn't know what to say to her sister-in-law. It seemed that no matter what she said, the other party wouldn't listen.
Mrs. Li is most annoyed by her sister-in-law's clumsy look: "You are all alone. Who can you rely on when you can't work anymore? You have to rely on my son and my grandson!"
"Now that your child is getting married, you, as his dear aunt, have no intention of showing any support? Don't you plan to leave a single cent for him in the future? Just bury it in the ground like this?"
Everyone present understood that the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Li family were calculating the old lady's financial resources, or in other words, they had long regarded the money the old lady earned as their own, and they would feel extremely painful if Old Lady Li spent even a penny.
Old Lady Li thought it was ugly that her brother and sister-in-law were scheming. She looked at them seriously and said, "I won't trouble you with my affairs after my death."
Mrs. Li retorted sharply, "If we are not worried about you, then who is worried about you? Are we going to watch your corpse rot and stink?"
Mrs. Li said, "When a person dies, he or she knows nothing. It doesn't matter if it stinks. The community will send me to the crematorium. There is no need to bury me in the cemetery. It doesn't matter where I scatter. I don't care."
Such a bachelor's attitude made Li's eldest sister-in-law very angry.
Brother Li, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up: "Don't be foolish. No one is collecting the body of your sister. How can your sister-in-law and I live as human beings? The neighbors are all watching and pointing fingers at us. Isn't this embarrassing for us?"
Xu Youyou watched for a long time and suddenly said, "If you are afraid of what people say, then why did you rob my sister's house and drive her out? Aren't you afraid of what people will say if my sister ends up on the streets?"
Mrs. Li was very angry when she heard this, but when she looked at the person who spoke, she saw that it was Xu Youyou.
As soon as Xu Youyou and his group entered the alley, Mrs. Li saw them. She saw that they got out of two luxury cars. Xu Youyou was obviously a rich person from her dress, and she was sitting in the main seat, being treated like a star by everyone.
Mrs. Li dared to bully her sister-in-law, but she didn't dare to bully Xu Youyou, who was accompanied by four ferocious bodyguards. She retorted in a muffled voice: "Who said I kicked her out? It's not like people can't live in my living room. We will take good care of her when the time comes."
Mrs. Li did not mention at all that her living room was small to begin with, and because several people in the family lived together, the living room was filled with things and there was no place to step.
The more Mrs. Li spoke, the more she felt that she was a kind sister-in-law. She said with more confidence, "This house is not hers, it belongs to my parents-in-law! I have never heard of a married daughter running back to her parents' home to fight with her brother and nephew for the family property! No matter what, we are right in this matter!"
Aunt Liu only has one daughter. She was very angry when she heard this and said, "This is not the old society! How can the family property not be given to the daughter? Besides, your parents-in-law already said that this house is for the daughter to live in! Why are you kicking her out?"
Mrs. Li was so anxious that she almost jumped up: "That's not true! My parents-in-law never said that! If they really wanted to give it to her, why didn't they transfer the house to her back then? She just refused to leave, and her eldest brother and I were kind-hearted and were willing to take her in!"
Aunt Liu opened her mouth to refute: "You don't have the final say in this matter! There must be people in the neighborhood who know about it, let them come over and judge it!"
A trace of guilt flashed in Mrs. Li's eyes. Her father-in-law loved his daughter very much and he had indeed told many neighbors that the courtyard would be left to his daughter. If any neighbor really came out to testify, their situation would be bad.
The more Aunt Liu thought about it, the more she felt it was feasible. She was impatient, so she turned to Old Lady Li and said, "Hurry up and ask your neighbors to come over and testify. If you don't want to, and you have to suffer this loss in silence, I will no longer recognize you as my friend!"
Aunt Liu was afraid that her good friend would suffer.
Old Mrs. Li smiled and glanced at her, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Aunt Liu finally felt relieved and turned to the neighbors at the door and said, "Neighbors, please judge the matter! We can't let this big family bully the poor old lady! If anyone knows about what happened back then, please help to seek justice!"
The neighbors love to join in the fun. Ever since Xu Youyou and his group came in, this courtyard has become the focus of attention of the neighbors in the alley. There is already a circle of people outside the door, peeking in.
But when they heard that they had to testify, the neighbors immediately avoided looking at them, and some even took a step back in fear.
Brother Li and his wife, who were originally feeling guilty, did not expect that their neighbors would stand on their side. They immediately became complacent. Sister Li even said directly, "I told you that this is not the case. My father-in-law would never give the house to his daughter. It is because of our kindness that we have taken care of her for so many years. She should know how to be grateful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man in a tattered coat squeezed into the yard from the crowd.
Brother Li and Sister-in-law Li looked at each other and their hearts skipped a beat. This old man was also a neighbor and a scrap collector, but he was very annoying and all the neighbors disliked him.
Brother Li and Sister Li were worried that the old man would talk nonsense, but they didn't expect that the first person he spoke was actually one of their own.
"I testify that this house has nothing to do with Old Lady Li. Her grandfather said that the house was for his children and grandchildren! It's only because they felt sorry for Old Lady Li that they didn't kick her out! She is shameless and has occupied the house for so many years!"
Aunt Liu's face changed and she blurted out: "You are lying!"
