Chapter 340
After Bai Xiuxiu knocked on the door, almost a minute passed and there was no movement in the room.
The cold wind whistling outside made Grandma Yang feel even colder in her heart.
"Grandma Yang, is no one from your youngest son's family at home?" Bai Xiu Xiu asked puzzled.
"At home, the whole family is at home today. My youngest son and his family have asked for leave from the factory today to clean up the house for my granddaughter-in-law's brother.
He said that the place he lived in before was too simple. ”
Grandma Yang became even sadder when she said this.
"Grandma Yang, we agreed before that I have told you both possibilities of this matter. You have to stand by me and accept either outcome.
Once you listen to them halfway, you may not even have the opportunity to seek help later.
And... they won't be afraid of you anymore."
Bai Xiu Xiu was very worried about Old Madam Yang, as the old lady doted on her youngest son.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be reluctant to do it in this situation.
This is really difficult to deal with.
It is better to hope for a blessing from heaven than to hope that the family who drove the old lady out will repent.
Grandma Yang nodded in agreement and wiped her eyes: "Little girl, don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."
Bai Xiuxiu knocked on the door again: "Is anyone home? We are from the street office and we need to find out about your situation."
Bai Xiu Xiu knocked several times, and when she was about to knock again, the door finally opened.
The person who came out and opened the door was a man who looked to be in his forties or almost fifty, with a crew cut, a square face, thick eyebrows, small eyes, and a droopy mouth, looking very miserable.
He opened the door with an impatient look on his face: "Knock, knock, what do you want?"
After he finished speaking, he saw the old lady also followed Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qiong, and became even more unhappy: "Why are you making trouble again? Didn't I tell you? No matter who you find, our family affairs have to be settled like this.
It's not that I'm unfilial to you, it's just that life at home is not easy.
If you passed away early like other old ladies, then nothing would have happened, right?
Your eldest grandson is getting married. Can I really let the young couple have no place to live?
If I don't agree with my granddaughter-in-law's request, she won't be willing to marry me.
Do you want your grandson to be unable to marry a wife he likes?
This is the condition of our family, Mom, can you please stop doing it? "
The man's face was full of dissatisfaction and his mouth was full of complaints.
Grandma Yang's momentum weakened immediately, tears welling up in her eyes: "Xiaodong, that's not what Mom meant, Mom..."
"Uncle Yang, right? We are from the street office. You can just call me Xiaobai. This is my colleague, you can just call her Xiaowang. Grandma Yang has already asked the street office for help on this matter. No matter what you think, can we go inside and talk first?"
It might not look good if you let others see the excitement outside.
After all...when Grandma Yang's husband passed away, the house belonged to Grandma Yang.
You are here temporarily. If you don't want Grandma Yang to live in the house, we have to discuss this matter again."
Bai Xiu Xiu was very polite and spoke softly so those watching the excitement could not hear clearly.
Yang Xiaodong's face became increasingly ugly.
The look in his eyes when he looked at the old lady became very dangerous.
The old lady didn't dare to look at her son's eyes.
Finally, he let Bai Xiuxiu and the others go into the house. As soon as they entered, a voice of urging came from inside the house: "Dad, hurry up and help move the things to the small house.
Our son and daughter-in-law can’t even move this thing.”
As she spoke, she turned her head.
Seeing the mother-in-law and the two women coming in, his face changed immediately: "Yang Xiaodong! What do you mean? There is no room left in our house. Didn't we agree to let the old lady live outside?
What are you doing?
Who are you going to ask to make room for her?
How many days has our family been quiet now?"
Yang Xiaodong said with a gloomy face: "Shut up, comrades, sit over here. You can't listen to my mother about the matter of this house. Although this house belongs to my mother, we are all qualified to inherit my father's things."
"That's right, but the owner of this house is Grandma Yang now? As for dividing the family, Grandma Yang has more than just you as a child."
Bai Xiuxiu said, pointing to the water cup: "Can you pour a glass of water for Grandma Yang? The weather outside is too cold even in the summer, and people are frozen stiff in the shed."
"Mother, go and get some water for our mother." Yang Xiaodong called his wife.
Yang Xiaodong's daughter-in-law Wang Lihua glanced at her mother-in-law, then looked at her husband, thought for a moment, and hurried to get busy.
The two people who came this time were different from the ones who came to mediate before.
As soon as these two opened their mouths, they actually wanted to chase them away. They are crazy!
"Mom, why are you making a fuss about our family's affairs? Do you want to bring shame to our family? If you don't think about us, why don't you think about your grandson?
Think about your big brother too?"
Yang Xiaodong asked the old lady angrily.
The old lady trembled inwardly and wanted to explain.
Bai Xiuxiu still didn't let her speak: "Uncle Yang, before Grandma Yang considers you, you should also consider whether she can survive. You want to freeze me to death for the sake of your son's wife's brother.
Do you still want her to consider you?
Don’t bring something like this.”
"I'm talking to my mother. Can we discuss it first?" Yang Xiaodong was no longer in a good mood after being confronted by Bai Xiuxiu several times.
"Grandma Yang has handed over the rest of the matters to me. What I said was what she meant." Bai Xiu Xiu was also very blunt.
Yang Xiaodong couldn't believe that his mother was so cruel.
The old lady didn't look at him, but nodded.
"See? Uncle Yang, can you listen to me now?" Bai Xiu Xiu continued to ask him kindly.
"What do you want to do? You, the street office, want to make our life miserable? You want my whole family to die?" Yang Xiaodong was ready to throw a tantrum.
"Uncle Yang, please don't say that. We are just helping the neighbor to get her house back so that she won't freeze to death outside. As for you, if you feel wronged, why don't you tell me where you feel wronged?
We also help you solve problems directly.”
Bai Xiuxiu's attitude remains the same.
"You! All of you, get out of here! Our family does not accept mediation."
"Okay, then since you occupied Grandma Yang's house, we can only report it to the police. Grandma Yang, let me go with you first." Bai Xiu Xiu said, and was about to help people out.
"No! I can't report it. When did I occupy her house?" Yang Xiaodong found that this young comrade didn't listen to him at all. She only listened to her own reasons!
"Isn't this obvious? Your family lives in Grandma Yang's house, while Grandma Yang lives in a shed that is not warm enough. Now Grandma Yang feels wronged and has come to us to ask us to help mediate.
You refused even mediation.
Uncle Yang, you've already said all the harsh words, and you're still asking me? "
