Chapter 1170 What to do when you encounter such a neighbor 57
"What do you think we should do about this?" After leaving Yi Shulan's house, Cheng Guangming and the others gathered at his home. People from the same building who felt affected had all come here.
Previously, they thought that Yi Shulan and her daughter were engaging in some harmful cult at home, and they even considered calling the police as a good deed.
As it turned out... things were even more serious than dealing with that cult, to the point that even the police couldn't handle it, which was what gave them the biggest headache.
"Yi Shulan has really gone too far."
"We've known each other for decades, and I really never expected her to be this kind of person."
"They showed absolutely no mercy for their own benefit."
"There are at least thirty or forty urns in that room. No wonder so many people have been coming to her house lately. How are we, the people in the same building, supposed to live with so many dead people's ashes?"
"We need to get her to get rid of those unlucky things quickly, otherwise no one can live here."
"Yes, we have so many children here. What if they run into something bad?"
"No matter what, we must make sure she gets her ashes taken away."
“We don’t need to be too moral about her being so heartless. I do have a solution,” Jiang Shaolan suddenly said.
The crowd, who had been like ants on a hot pan, all turned to look in her direction.
Seeing that everyone was waiting for her to speak, Jiang Shaolan said with a gloomy face, "As long as she doesn't take away her ashes, we'll just keep doing square dancing downstairs. Do you all remember that the time and place we used to do square dancing were all decided by the residents of the community? As someone who lives on the first floor and doesn't really like square dancing, Yi Shulan is actually against it."
"The idea of setting a time limit was actually proposed by her family."
Although many people agreed with Yi Shulan's proposal at the time, isn't it a more serious issue that she now keeps an urn at home? Those who supported Yi Shulan back then would never support her keeping an urn at home now.
After a moment's thought, everyone agreed that this was a possible solution.
It's unlikely that going to Yi Shulan now to ask her to take the urn away will work. After all, Yi Shulan is very unhappy with them because of the elevator incident.
Only in other matters did Yi Shulan understand that if the urn wasn't taken away, neither they nor she would be able to live a good life.
"Aunt Yi Shulan is actually quite easy to talk to. Why don't we talk first? There's no need to be so ruthless at this time." Someone suddenly spoke up, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice. It turned out to be a young girl in her early twenties.
The girl stood next to Jiang Shaolan, and after she spoke, Jiang Shaolan's expression darkened: "What do you know, you're just a girl?"
"Instead of meddling in other people's business, you might as well go work overtime and find a way to earn more money. There are expenses for everything at home. If our family could save up for a down payment on a good house, would we all have to squeeze into one place? It's a good thing we have an elevator now, otherwise it would be quite troublesome for your brother's two kids to go up and down the stairs."
Duan Qing wanted to say something, but seeing the disapproving looks around her, and Jiang Shaolan's words, she lost her mood.
She sneered, "Fine, I can't control this, after all, it's not my place."
"As for your matter of raising the down payment for the new house, let me make this clear: that's your business and has nothing to do with me. Don't come looking for me."
"Mom, you look very energetic. You said you haven't been feeling well lately. I think you just wanted me to come back to help with the down payment, right? No, no way, never. Don't even think about it. I'm a spendthrift. I can't keep any money anyway, so I might as well spend it as soon as I earn it."
Without waiting for Jiang Shaolan to say anything more, Duan Qing turned and left.
She shouldn't have come back.
After all these years, I've known what kind of person her mother is. But when she heard that her mother wasn't feeling well, she still came back.
She's sick in the head. That's why she believed what the other person said.
Jiang Shaolan was so angry that her face turned red. She never expected that her youngest daughter would show her no respect in front of the neighbors today.
The reason I called Duan Qing back earlier was indeed to discuss the down payment.
It's fine for her to live here, but her son and grandson are still crammed in here. They'll be starting school in two years, so they definitely need a better environment.
Before she could even say anything, Yi Shulan's incident happened, which infuriated her.
She didn't bother to stop Duan Qing. After all, he was her own flesh and blood. Whether she was happy or not, if anything happened to her, his mother, he would have to come back.
Wasn't that the case before?
Hearing that she wasn't feeling well, he came back immediately.
The most important thing right now is what to do with all the ashes that Yi Shulan has kept at home.
Who would want to live in the same building with so many dead people's ashes? What if there's something unclean in there? That would be terrible.
The atmosphere at the scene became tense for a moment, but it quickly returned to the discussion because of Yi Shulan's matter.
In the end, Zhou Guifeng said that it wouldn't be good to break off relations all at once, and that it would be best to talk to Yi Shulan first and reach an agreement.
“We’re all neighbors. If things really fall apart, nobody will be happy. The key is that the police can’t handle her case,” Zhou Guifeng said. “I think if we want Yi Shulan to back down, we’ll probably have to offer some compensation.”
Those present understood the implication; in fact, everyone knew that if someone lived on the first floor and the building had an elevator, they not only wouldn't have to pay for it, but they might even receive compensation.
Especially in cases like Yi Shulan's, if someone has a bad temper, you should never expect to use the elevator normally.
"Let's go talk to them first."
"But I won't agree if she asks for an exorbitant amount."
“Speaking of which, the family across the street has a bad temper. If this doesn’t work, we can try to gauge their attitude,” Cheng Guangming suddenly said, and everyone immediately realized what he meant.
Yes, the family across from Yi Shulan is not easy to get along with. The main problem is that scoundrel. If he knew that Yi Shulan's family kept ashes, would he just let it go?
"How about we see what that family's attitude is first?" someone suggested.
After a moment of silence, everyone agreed that it was feasible.
If that family can resolve the issue, then there's nothing they need to do.
……
"I thought they would come and cause trouble, but it's been quite quiet tonight," Yi Shulan said.
A-Zhou watched TV and said, "I guess they've come up with some kind of plan. In this situation, can they really sit still? If we weren't in this situation, we wouldn't be able to help people look after ashes, would we?"
Yi Shulan nodded: "Then there might be troublemakers tomorrow. I wonder how they've discussed it."
"They would definitely want to resolve this matter without paying anything in return."
Azhen laughed and said, "Mom, do you remember the family across the street? Uncle Wu and his wife didn't say anything in the crowd before, but they have a scoundrel in their family who has a bad temper. If they find out about this, they will definitely come and make trouble."
