At that moment, the people in the courtyard heard the commotion and came out.
"What’s going on?" I thought to myself, sensing something was off from inside the house. The first to emerge was the ever-busy Aunt Zhao, eager for excitement.
"I heard a loud bang and came out to see what happened," she said, still wearing her apron, clearly having been working.
"What’s going on? I think I heard Yindi crying. Is something wrong?" Little Li also stepped outside.
With the New Year approaching, the women whose factories weren’t too busy were all at home tidying up. They either took their leave early or had already started their holidays. After all, with the New Year coming, the factory leaders were turning a blind eye to things.
Meanwhile, the men were still holding down their posts at work. So it was no surprise that those who came out were mostly women.
Tian Guihua stood helplessly in front of two people who were pulling at each other. Seeing Aunt Zhao and the others come out, she quickly called out, "Aunt Zhao, please help pull them apart!"
With everyone working together, they finally managed to separate Zhou Xiaoying and Old Lady Ma.
"Ugh! You old hag! That hurt!" Zhou Xiaoying spat out a strand of hair as she cursed.
"You little vixen! How dare you hit my son? I won’t let this go!" Old Lady Ma continued to shout defiantly.
"Alright, everyone calm down for a moment. What do you think you’re doing? Do you want to spend a few days inside?" Tian Guihua impatiently interrupted them.
"Old Lady Ma, what are you trying to do this time? Why are you causing trouble again?" Tian Guihua asked.
"Leader, you must stand up for us! We came because we heard that my son’s job was taken by this shameless woman! We’re here to seek justice!" Old Lady Ma cried, her nose running and tears streaming down her face. "My son has already divorced that shameless woman; how can she take his job? His job rightfully belongs to him! And she must return my son’s bankbook!"
Before Tian Guihua could respond, Zhou Xiaoying jumped up and shouted back, "You old hag! What kind of delusional dreams are you having? Ma Lianfa committed a crime and has already been fired from the factory! Your son has no chance of getting back in!"
"And about that bankbook—your son has always taken his own wages; he never gave me a dime! How would I know if he even has a bankbook? You should ask that little widow; she probably knows since Ma Lianfa spent quite a bit on her."
"That’s impossible! My son isn’t that foolish; he definitely has money!" Old Lady Ma insisted firmly.
"You can believe it or not, but I didn't see anything," Zhou Xiaoying said.
Just as the two were arguing back and forth, a shout came from inside the house.
"Uncle, what are you doing? That's my mother's money! Put it down!"
"Ah, little beast, how dare you bite me! I'll kick you to death!" Ma Lao shouted angrily.
Upon hearing the commotion inside and noticing that Ma Lao was nowhere to be seen outside, Zhou Xiaoying immediately understood what was happening.
Ma Lao must have taken advantage of her distraction to sneak into the house.
Worried by the eldest daughter's cries, Zhou Xiaoying rushed inside.
The scene in the room made Zhou Xiaoying's eyes widen in disbelief.
Ma Lao saw that Zhou Xiaoying was grappling with Ma Laotai and no one was paying attention to him.
He quietly slipped into the room, planning to rummage through his elder brother's savings book.
He believed that his brother must have hidden some money, and he couldn't let Zhou Xiaoying take it all for herself.
As for the three young girls in the room, he didn't take them seriously at all.
Although the three girls were watching him warily, none dared to speak up.
Feeling emboldened, he began to search without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, just as he found some loose change hidden under the bedding, the eldest girl suddenly sprang up.
The girl rushed at him and bit his hand without letting go.
