Zhang Hongmei took the account book, and the four of them went to the house left by Zhou Changrong. After getting out of the car, they found the gate tightly closed.
Zeng Zhongkang knocked on the door, but there was no response.
“There must be someone home; the door is closed from the inside.” Cheng Guangxu circled around the doorway.
"Let's go to the police station to report this. This isn't working. This is my house, and I can't even get in myself. I'm really speechless."
“You guys stay here, I’ll go. I just saw the police station on the roadside, I’ll be back in a bit.” Cai Peilin said, then turned and walked back.
"Hongmei, do you think this house is bigger than the one we live in now?"
"Yes, it's quite large. Mr. Zhou has a large family, and they're all boys. I think he didn't consider selling the house later when he bought it, since his sons will get married when they grow up, so he chose a large one. However, I don't like it here."
Both of them looked at Zhang Hongmei with puzzlement. "Why? The location here should be better than where we live, right? There are more amenities around here than at home."
"I can't explain why, I just don't like it. If it doesn't work out, I'll just buy it, but I won't sell it for less than 400,000."
"Four hundred thousand?"
"yes!"
"But this house is worth at most 100,000, who would buy it for 400,000? You don't want to sell it?"
Zhang Hongmei shook her head. She really wouldn't live here. It was such a waste to leave it like this. She wasn't willing to sell it, so she simply offered an exorbitant price. What if someone wanted to buy it?
Zhou Changrong's wife, Liu Meiju, watched the three people outside the door from upstairs. She kept cursing Zhang Hongmei, but mostly Zhou Changrong.
I've been absolutely insane these past few days. That good-for-nothing actually dared to sell his house and factory? And he even wants a divorce?!
He dreams quickly. He'd been with Yu Deshui since his second child was born, but what did it matter? Zhou Changrong wasn't good enough? Couldn't he find someone else? He spent all his time in the factory, coming back looking like a scruffy factory worker. What he couldn't stand the most was that whenever he needed him, Yu Deshui was already snoring loudly.
She could have a divorce, but the factory and the house had to be given to her. He didn't even know who the third son was, but nominally he was Zhou Changrong's son, so he had to support him.
And this vixen, she actually dared to buy it, haha, you're wasting your money. The factory has no choice, but they absolutely cannot let go of the houses.
Without this house, where would he and his three sons go? Now that he's old, Yu Deshui no longer comes looking for him. Fortunately, he still has the 400,000 yuan in his hands, but his eldest and second eldest sons know about it and each wants 100,000 yuan.
I have no choice but to appease them for now. I'll give it to them anyway; I still have a small savings account of 100,000 yuan, and lots of jewelry.
Even if they really get old and can't walk anymore, they can still be kept going with money.
Suddenly, one person left, but the remaining three didn't move. What was going on? Watching the three pointing at his house from the doorway, he felt extremely smug. He was the one who had insisted on buying it, and he had even renovated it himself, bit by bit.
But why don't these three leave? Are they just relying on the McCann family? Bah! What kind of young ladies are they? They probably got that status by serving them so well.
Liu Meiju watched the three of them for about twenty minutes before the man who had left brought over several police officers.
Liu Meiju felt a little nervous; she knew she would have to open the door if someone knocked on it.
But thinking about it, this is my own home, what is there to be afraid of?
They went downstairs into the courtyard, and as soon as they knocked on the door, Liu Meiju opened it.
Four people stood behind the police officer. Zhang Hongmei looked at Liu Meiju with a half-smile. She had seen this woman before; she had caused a scene at the factory a few days ago. Because she disliked her, she refused to let her stay.
“Ms. Liu, you have three days to move out. Please leave.” Zhang Hongmei walked forward and said with a smile.
"This is my home, why should I move out? Are you trying to steal it?"
Zhang Hongmei took out the property certificate from her bag and handed it to one of the police officers. "Officer, this is the property certificate, and this is my ID."
The officer took a look and saw that the property owner was Zhang Hongmei and McKen. The identification documents also matched.
After reading it, I handed it to Zhang Hongmei. I learned that this was the eldest daughter of the McCann family. It was a well-known story, and it even made it into the newspapers. However, the photo was blurry, and I couldn't see her face clearly.
"Madam, please leave immediately, or you will be arrested."
"Why should I? This is my home, the home I've lived in for over ten years."
"Hehe, Ms. Liu, this place was sold to me by your husband before you got divorced, so it no longer belongs to you. It belongs to me now. Please leave, or I'll help you move."
"Are you bullying us by taking advantage of your power?" Liu Meiju asked in a sinister tone, her eyes narrowed.
"Heh, why would I bully others by abusing my power? Can't I just take back what's mine?"
I have nothing to say to you. I'll come back to collect the house in three days. I don't want to have to help you out then.
"What can you do if I just refuse to move?"
Zhang Hongmei smiled, turned to the four police officers, and said, "Officers, you've seen the situation. We'll ask you to come back in three days."
All four nodded, but none of them felt quite comfortable. This young lady from the McCann family really wasn't giving them a way out, only giving them three days. She was quite ruthless. Also, foreigners were really troublesome.
I'm going to sue you!
"Please make yourself at home. Thank you for your hard work, officers." Zhang Hongmei smiled and said goodbye. The four of them got into the car and left. I didn't even bother with Liu Meiju's insults and shouts behind me.
“Hongmei, we really need to find someone, otherwise they absolutely cannot move in three days.”
"Hehe, it's nothing. Just call a few people over. It's just to scare them."
Cheng Guangxu turned around and glanced at Liu Meiju standing at the door. "Hongmei, why didn't I come out with their three sons?"
"Who knows? Maybe he's not home."
“I saw them at home just now.”
"Zeng Zhongkang, where did you see it?"
"The window on the second floor."
"Oh! Then why don't they show up?"
No one gave Cheng Guangxu an answer to this question, but the most likely explanation is that they lacked responsibility and dared not step forward.
Liu Meiju watched them all leave, then turned and went inside. At that moment, her three sons came downstairs, slumped over, and sat on the sofa.
The eldest and second eldest were a bit calmer, but the youngest was more impatient. "Mom, are we really moving? Where are we moving to?"
Liu Meiju was in a very bad mood, but she still restrained her emotions and didn't get angry with me.
