The dead end was filled with a dark mass of people.
Even with the police present, they were unable to control the situation for the first half hour.
It wasn't until a large number of police officers gathered that the scene was finally brought under control.
The two men who were beaten were already mangled beyond recognition.
"What deep-seated hatred could have led to such a brutal beating! Take them all to the police station for questioning!"
Too many people had gathered at the alley entrance.
Many people wiped away their tears and explained the situation to the police officers who stayed behind to understand what had happened.
"Quiet down, everyone, speak one at a time! If you all talk at once, we won't be able to get any information before dark. Please cooperate with our investigation."
After a moment of silence, someone in the crowd mentioned the neighborhood director.
"Let the director go up and talk, let's resolve this quickly, we don't know if it can be salvaged."
The families who hadn't signed contracts gathered together to watch the spectacle.
"You're saying that now that the investment company has moved away, our contract is invalid?"
One of them, feigning mystery, pulled the group aside: "I don't think it's possible. Do you know what that woman said when she came to talk to me that day?"
"What are you keeping me in suspense for? Just tell me already."
She told us to pack our belongings in March and move to the resettlement area in the north of the city if we wanted, otherwise we could stay here.
"But she didn't say much and left in a hurry. You could tell from her appearance that she was busy."
"real!"
The man quickly covered the other person's mouth: "Look how quickly these people change their tune. We'll just stick along and get involved for now, but whatever you do, don't tell anyone what I said. Otherwise, we'll get burned and lose all our benefits."
Not long after the words were spoken, a man stepped forward: "Didn't you guys not sign a second contract? Why don't you go and ask for your money back?"
Not knowing how to respond, luckily one of the women reacted quickly, immediately slapping her thigh and wailing, "Those damned companies! I'm going to sue them in court! They're taking advantage of their money to bully innocent people! Today I took Gangzi to the north of the city to demand the compensation stipulated in the contract, and guess what those people said?"
The eldest sister's dramatic display of distress successfully piqued the curiosity of those people.
Needless to say, those who signed the second contract certainly didn't want these people to get even a penny more than they did.
Even if you go into the water yourself, you have to drag someone down with you.
"What did they reply?"
"They told us to get as far away as possible, and the village that signed the relocation compensation contract with them was Chenjia Village in the north of the city."
The older sister's husband then joined in, saying, "You have no idea how despicable those rich people are. They even pushed me and my wife to the ground, and I even scraped my elbows."
The older brother inadvertently revealed his arm, which he had accidentally injured while working in the fields that morning.
"Oh ho, it's really... serious. Brother, take good care of yourself and get well soon. Once you're healed, we'll go to the north of the city together and demand an explanation. They've been bullying us honest folks!"
"Yes, it wouldn't be too much to kill the Hou brothers, Hou Dazhuang and Hou Dazhi."
They agreed and walked away.
The families exchanged glances and breathed a sigh of relief.
"As the saying goes, when people are shameless, they are invincible. These people in our alley are truly beyond saving."
"Brother, I really have to thank you. If you hadn't advised me back then..."
"Walls have ears, so don't let us down at a crucial moment. All of you keep your mouths shut."
Old Fang is one of the few honest people in the alley. He is usually called stupid by others, but now he has become the biggest winner in this silent battle.
……
The plan for the north of the city is in full swing.
The court hearing for the case was held a couple of days ago, but Yu Lian did not get the result she wanted, and Xiao Xu also got nothing.
All their suspects were completely ruled out. The more they did so, the more suspicious it became.
Yu Lian was at her wit's end and postponed her return home again.
That day, Jasmine appeared at her doorstep looking travel-worn.
At that time, Yu Lian had just finished breakfast and was about to leave.
"Jasmine?!"
It wasn't hard to hear the shock and surprise in Yu Lian's voice.
Jasmine stood up from the steps with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, I thought I could handle it by myself, but it took me several days."
"Weren't you forced by your parents to take care of Xue Ci in the hospital?"
Speaking of Xue Ci, Jasmine was furious.
"Let's not talk about him anymore. If it weren't for that troublemaker, I wouldn't have had to run away. My parents say I'm over thirty and still haven't settled down, so they want to find me a suitable man to marry. I had no choice; it didn't seem safe for me to hide anywhere, so I came to you."
"What are you saying? Come in. Look at you, get some rest."
"Mom! Don't rush to get ready, Jasmine's here!"
Half an hour later, Jasmine, having quickly washed up, sat at the dining table and began to enjoy her meal.
"Eat slowly, there's still some left in the pot."
Jasmine started crying as she ate.
Yu Jinbu quietly slipped out to comfort the mother and daughter.
Have you talked to your parents about this?
"I've said it several times, and every time it ends in a huge argument. This time I'm determined to sever ties with my family; I'm absolutely not going back!"
This was the first time Yu Lian had ever seen Jasmine cry so bitterly. After all, in the past, when they argued, she would just let it go in one ear and out the other.
"Okay, I support you. We'll talk about it again if your parents come looking for you."
Wiping away her tears, Jasmine saw the calendar on the side table.
"You've been here for a long time, when are you going back?"
Yu Lian knew her worries: "Don't worry, I won't go back. Now is a crucial time, and given what happened before, I don't plan to go back anytime soon."
"What should we do about the child?"
"I want to, but there's nothing I can do. This is a special case, so I'm planning to renovate my house properly and install a new telephone."
Only after this topic came up did Jasmine have time to look around: "Did you live here when you were little?"
Yu Lian stood up and helped her mother tidy up: "Don't let the simplicity fool you, our family was considered well-off back then. We had our own house and yard, and even our own toilet. We were better off than many other families in the alley."
Speaking of this, Yu Lian thought of Jasmine, who had been pampered since childhood and might not be used to living at her home.
"I'll take you to a hotel after you've eaten. You might not be comfortable staying at home."
Jasmine shook her head in protest: "You underestimate me too much. I've traveled the world for years, and I've even lived in a thatched hut. What's the big deal?"
"I'm worried you won't be used to living here. You can tolerate it for a few days, but after a while..."
"Alright, alright, we'll talk about it later. You go to work, I'll help the nanny tidy up. I'll go with you tomorrow and give you some advice."
Yu Lian was kicked out of her home by Jasmine, and she sighed in frustration.
What will Jasmine do when her parents come looking for her?
At that moment, Yu Jinbu appeared at the alley entrance and waved to her.
With his full beard and long hair, Yu Jinbu looked like a wild man. Over the years, he had inevitably changed, and with his deliberately crafted accent, no one had doubted him yet.
"I've contacted the renovation team and the phone installer. I asked several people for help, otherwise our house wouldn't be able to accommodate a phone."
Speaking of this, Yu Lian asked curiously, "What connection do you have?"
"Well, these are old clients from Yuncheng. Don't let their smaller business fool you; they have a lot of connections. You know..."
Yu Lian smiled as if she had just thought of something. Whenever she had a headache, she could always find a way to break through it.
