Chapter 1173 What to do when you encounter such a neighbor 60
The community workers were almost speechless, never expecting that Yi Shulan had become so difficult to deal with.
The key point is that they weren't angry, nor did they ask anyone to take any responsibility. They just said they needed to earn money to buy a new house, and they spoke softly, leaving no room for criticism.
Cheng Guangming and others who came with the community staff almost couldn't contain their anger.
However, some people couldn't hold back. Jiang Shaolan immediately jumped up, pointed at Yi Shulan and cursed, "Yi Shulan, stop pretending! You're doing this on purpose. You don't want us to have a good life. All that talk about making money to buy a new house is just an excuse!"
"Of course it's not an excuse. If you buy me a new house with a nice environment and plenty of natural light, I'll move out of here without a second thought," Yi Shulan said with a smile. If such a good thing were to happen, she wouldn't bother with any more trouble.
Unfortunately, these people are unlikely to pay for her house, otherwise they wouldn't be bullying her like this.
Seeing them jumping up and down now makes her feel quite satisfied.
Jiang Shaolan was so angry she almost had a heart attack. How come she never knew Yi Shulan was such an unyielding person?
Community workers visited the home, but were unable to reach a resolution through mediation.
No matter what they said, Yi Shulan remained very polite and her mindset hadn't changed. She just wanted to earn money to buy a new house, and if someone resolved this issue, she would definitely move out.
As soon as they left Yi Shulan's house, Jiang Shaolan burst into a tirade: "Yi Shulan is dreaming!"
"At her age, she still dreams so beautifully. How can she not be incredibly beautiful?"
“Buying her a new house? I think it’s more like buying her a coffin. No, I won’t even pay for the coffin. She’ll just have a tattered mat.”
"How can there be such a hateful person?"
Community workers could only helplessly say that such matters should be discussed among themselves, since there is no regulation prohibiting the storage of ashes at home.
After the community workers left, everyone went to Cheng Guangming's house to discuss countermeasures.
At first, the room was silent, until Zhou Guifeng suddenly spoke up: "Why don't we call the news media? If this gets out of hand, the higher-ups will see it and help us resolve this matter."
Zhou Guifeng's words undoubtedly gave everyone hope again.
Yes, this kind of thing has happened before. If something gets out of hand, the leaders will definitely arrange for someone to handle it, otherwise it will have a bad impact.
The elevator in the building can't be removed. In the end, wouldn't that just solve the problem for that mother and daughter?
"Then how do we expose it, and which news media should we contact?" Cheng Guangming asked.
Zhou Guifeng said, "Do you still remember the Fang family?"
"You mean the Fang family in Building 7? The Fang family who sold their house and moved away a few years ago when housing prices were at their peak?" Jiang Shaolan raised her voice, her tone tinged with bitterness.
If she had sold her house back then, she could have made a profit, bought a new house, and maybe even saved some money.
But little did she know that housing prices would drop to this level.
The Fang family really had incredible luck; they actually managed to run into this.
"Yes, that's their family. Do you remember what Li Limei's son does? He's a journalist. Wouldn't it be perfect to talk to him? We all have Li Limei's contact information, so let's mention it to her. We've been neighbors, after all; we should at least help each other out."
“Besides, this Li Limei isn’t familiar with Yi Shulan. She’s only familiar with us because we do square dancing together. Yi Shulan doesn’t like square dancing,” Zhou Guifeng said. Jiang Shaolan chimed in, “Yi Shulan is a bit pretentious. She’s already quite old, but she still likes to hold a book and read. I don’t know who she’s trying to impress.”
“Okay, let’s contact Li Limei then. Since her son works in the news media, he’ll definitely enjoy interviewing these kinds of things; they’re all about generating buzz.”
Everyone readily agreed and immediately contacted Li Limei, giving her a general overview of the situation in the neighborhood, though without going into details. However, what they heard was somewhat different from the truth.
"Oh, I see. Then I'll ask Liangliang." Li Limei didn't agree immediately, even though Fang Liangliang was at home.
My son and his colleagues are coming here recently and will be staying for a while.
After hanging up the phone, Li Limei told Fang Liangliang about what happened in the old neighborhood. She added at the end, "I think since everyone has moved away from that place, there's no need to go back and cause trouble. Cheng Guangming and Jiang Shaolan are no good people. Their words sound like they're saying the people on the first floor are wrong, but I don't think it's that simple."
Fang Liangliang, however, looked on with interest: "Shouldn't we be digging deeper to uncover the truth?"
Li Limei said, "Getting involved with those guys won't bring any good. I still don't recommend you take on this matter, but if you do, I can't stop you. Don't worry about sentimentality, just report the facts."
"Mom, you're not even taking their side now?" Fang Liangliang said with a mischievous grin.
Li Limei sneered: "I stopped trusting them the moment they recommended I buy the unfinished building. These people can't stand to see us doing well, what good can they be? They clearly had inside information, but they still tried to scam me. If we hadn't found out about this and asked you, wouldn't we have lost all our money?"
"That's all thanks to my master. He's very well-informed, otherwise our family would have been scammed. Back then, I was just a small intern, how could I have had so much information?" Fang Liangliang said.
Li Limei quickly thanked Xie Xiang. Yes, if it weren't for Liangliang, their colleague, their family would have been in dire straits.
Those people actually acted like they knew nothing and were even relieved for her; it was truly disgusting.
"It's nothing, it's just that someone in my family happens to know a little bit of the news," Xie Xiang said, then asked Fang Liangliang if they wanted to go over there to take a look.
“I want to go and see,” Fang Liangliang said. “Master, don’t you think that family on the first floor is amazing? I don’t know what they were thinking, but they actually thought of storing ashes at home. You’re not a news person if you don’t go and see them.”
"Master, you're interested too, aren't you? We've almost finished with our business, why don't we go and join the fun? Maybe something interesting will happen."
Xie Xiang was indeed a bit curious and wanted to join in the fun; mainly, it was something he genuinely wanted to do.
Li Limei didn't seem inclined to reply to Zhou Guifeng; she had no obligation to do so.
That afternoon, Xie Xiang and Fang Liangliang went to the neighborhood where Fang Liangliang used to live.
Fang Liangliang had only been gone for a few years, but as soon as he entered the residential area, Zhou Guifeng recognized him and quickly stopped him to talk.
The others around them were saying bad things about Yi Shulan and Azhen, trying to get Fang Liangliang to expose the mother and daughter.
Fang Liangliang said, "We will report everything truthfully. Aunt Zhou, since we've met here, could you please show us the way?"
He almost ruined their family, how could he possibly help Zhou Guifeng? He's really dreaming.
The door opened, and Yi Shulan was still a little wary when she saw two unfamiliar faces. But when she heard Fang Liangliang introduce himself, her eyes lit up.
Huanhuan once said that if reporters come to the door, there's no need to be afraid; just invite them in.
