Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire-Chapter 627 - 610: Much Ado About Nothing
Chapter 627: Chapter 610: Much Ado About Nothing
Last year, the hospital received a piece of machinery worth over ten million yuan, the most advanced technology. After acquiring this equipment, everyone at the hospital was delighted. Upon learning that the donor was Lu Jiaxin, the director immediately arranged for Lu Hongjun to be moved to the cadre ward without a second thought.
After being transferred to a single room, Lu Shan noticed that the doctors and nurses became exceptionally enthusiastic. He didn’t know what had happened but knew it was related to Lu Jiaxin.
Just as Lu Jiaxin was about to leave, Sister-in-law Lu came over: "Jiaxin, your elder brother told me this morning that you were back. I wanted to take the morning off, but no one could cover my shift."
Lu Jiaxin said it was no big deal: "My dad has woken up, but he’s still not fully conscious. However, the doctor said this is normal and he should recover in a few days. The family just needs to take good care of him."
Sister-in-law Lu felt reassured.
Lu Jiaxin asked, "Is that woman still living in Chaoyang?"
At the mention of Tang Sufen, Sister-in-law Lu became infuriated: "She’s still living there! After what she did to Third Uncle, I don’t know how she has the nerve to stay in your house."
Lu Jiaxin called Xiaoxiao and said, "Go to Chaoyang and tell Tang Sufen to move out before tomorrow sunset."
The house was hers, and no one could blame her for evicting Tang Sufen and her family after they harmed Lu Hongjun. Of course, if Lu Hongjun couldn’t bear to get a divorce, then he and Tang Sufen could rent a place outside. But given the current situation, Lu Hongjun, who was practical, wouldn’t dare offend her and her brother.
Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement.
Sister-in-law Lu worried that Xiaoxiao might use force to evict them, which might spark gossip: "Jiaxin, I’ll go with them. If the neighbors gossip, I can explain."
Lu Jiaxin didn’t mind, but since Sister-in-law Lu insisted, she didn’t refuse.
Sister-in-law Lu was clever. Before leaving the hospital, she stopped by the small shop next door to call Second Sister-in-law Lu for help. To deal with someone like Tang Sufen, they needed someone as assertive as Second Sister-in-law Lu.
Second Sister-in-law Lu felt a jolt in her heart upon hearing Jiaxin was back. Her heart had been unsettled ever since her husband was called to assist with an investigation. Once he returned, she vented her anger by giving him a thorough beating. If she weren’t worried about her in-laws falling ill from the news, she would’ve sent him back to his hometown for being such a hindrance.
"Alright, I’m on my way."
Tang Sufen was in the yard picking vegetables, while her little grandson toddled around. Seeing Second Sister-in-law Lu storm in, her heart skipped a beat.
Second Sister-in-law Lu shouted, "Tang Sufen, take your things and get out! If you don’t, we’ll throw your things out."
Tang Sufen replied, "This is my home, you have no right to evict me."
Sister-in-law Lu’s expression remained unchanged: "We may not have the right to evict you, but this house belongs to Jiaxin. She has the right to kick you out."
Second Sister-in-law Lu thought she was being too polite and began to curse: "You heartless old pious woman! Over the years, everyone has seen how my Third Uncle treated you. He provided you with a big house, paid for your sons to marry wives, and even supported your younger son and daughter in school. Anyone with a conscience would be grateful for what my Third Uncle did for your Huang Family. But your beastly family not only showed no gratitude but also reported my Third Uncle, nearly causing his death."
People loved a good spectacle, so when the neighbors saw the commotion, they began to gather around.
Second Sister-in-law Lu wanted more people to gather: "Tang Sufen, after harming my Third Uncle like that, if it were me, I would’ve left quickly. Yet you shamelessly live here with your grandson. What, you think you can claim this house as yours? Look at yourself in a mirror, do you deserve it?"
Tang Sufen was reluctant to leave: "As long as I’m married to Old Lu, I have the right to live in this house as long as I don’t divorce him."
Now she was being unreasonable, and Second Sister-in-law Lu, enraged, rushed over to grab her. The neighbors wanted to separate them, but Qian Xiaoxiao stopped them.
With a belly full of anger, Second Sister-in-law Lu finally had a chance to vent. Tang Sufen ended up with scratches all over her face. Of course, Second Sister-in-law Lu didn’t come out unscathed either.
Only after they had fought enough did Qian Xiaoxiao let the neighbors pull them apart. Seeing her grandson crying loudly in fright, Tang Sufen loudly cursed Second Sister-in-law Lu and threatened to call the police.
Before Second Sister-in-law Lu could respond with curses, the police arrived. Tang Sufen immediately reported that Second Sister-in-law Lu was trying to kill her and her grandson.
In the end, both parties were taken to the police station to give statements. Xiaoxiao slipped away upon seeing the police, and after they left with Tang Sufen, she called a few older women to help pack up Tang Sufen’s things. Of course, it wasn’t for free, each was paid one hundred yuan.
Now, an average worker’s wage was just over one hundred yuan, and here they were being offered such high pay just to pack up, so some women were tempted.
Seeing the eagerness in their eyes but their hesitation, Qian Xiaoxiao knew what they were concerned about. She took out the property deed, pointed to the name on it, and said, "This house belongs to Lu Jiaxin. Now my Sister Xin doesn’t want that venomous woman living here. Throw her things out, and even if the police come, they can’t say anything."
If the owner doesn’t let you live there, there’s nothing you can do. One must admit Sister Xin was clever, having foreseen that Lu Hongjun wouldn’t marry someone decent and putting the house in her name. Otherwise, there would be endless disputes over this house.
After finishing at the police station, Tang Sufen returned to the alley and noticed the strange looks from the people around her. She didn’t care; they had looked at her like that since Lu Hongjun went in. But when she got home and saw bedding, clothes, and pots and pans piled at the door, she blacked out and fainted.
Seeing this scene, Sister-in-law Lu and Second Sister-in-law Lu remembered Qian Xiaoxiao. It had to be said, Xiaoxiao had outstanding execution skills.
The neighbors, seeing her faint, said to the sisters-in-law, "Your third aunt fainted, she should be taken to the hospital immediately."
Both were unwilling to get involved, stating that the person no longer had any connection with them. Sister-in-law Lu said, "My Third Uncle was in a coma at the hospital yesterday, and she didn’t even look at him. My sister said she has nothing to do with our family anymore."
In the end, it was a community committee auntie who came forward to pinch Tang Sufen’s philtrum, bringing her back to consciousness quickly. Once awake, seeing all her belongings on the floor, she cried and knocked on the door vigorously.
One of the women who helped pack up earlier said, "That young girl showed us the property deed, and it’s in Lu Jiaxin’s name. Tang Sufen, you and Huang Xiaoyu almost got her father killed, so it’s reasonable for her to take back the house."
Tang Sufen turned her head towards the woman, her gaze fierce as if trying to harm her: "I’m Old Lu’s wife, I have every right to live in this house. Open the door, or I’ll break it down."
Qian Xiaoxiao opened the door and looked at the distorted face of Tang Sufen: "Are you sure you still want to live here?"
"This is my home. If I don’t live here, where else would I go?"
Qian Xiaoxiao decisively said, "Fine, if you want to stay, then stay!"
Watching her leave without looking back, everyone stood there stunned. Especially those who had been paid to help pack up, they regretted it; if they had known she’d be so soft, they wouldn’t have meddled.
