Grandma’s expression changed and she slapped her thigh. “Why did you go there! ”
Helena looked confused. “What’s wrong there?”
Granny looked around and leaned close to Helena. “Let me tell you, that place is very unlucky. Don’t go there.”
Helena: “Huh? What’s going on? Tell me the details.”
Helena and the granny gathered together and muttered. As they spoke, they looked over at Block 7.
The granny said, “That building is now a dangerous building and no one can live in it, so it’s very dilapidated. However, that’s not the real reason. More than ten years ago, there were still people living there. The house on the sixth floor…
Helena interrupted. “Six-zero-two, huh?”
Granny: “Yes, yes, yes. It’s 602. There were a few men living there in the past. They’re not from our place. They have a foreign accent and are here to do business. They even set up a stall in the neighborhood. The owners don’t let them set up a stall, so they hit them. They’re not polite at all.”
Amelia took out a handful of melon seeds from somewhere and interrupted, “That fierce?”
William tensed. Fierce? This place was fierce?!
The granny snorted. “That’s right! Not only did those people beat up the owner of this place, but you saw the small supermarket in Block 3 when you first came over, right? They also snatched that small supermarket and chased away the original owner to open a supermarket there. If we don’t buy things from them, we’ll be intimidated…” As if recalling a very bad memory, a trace of hatred burst out from the granny’s eyes.
Helena frowned. These people were definitely evil. Why didn’t anyone care?
Helena asked her own question. “They’re so outrageous. Doesn’t anyone care about them?”
There was a hint of grievance in the granny’s tone. “No… They occupied the small supermarket and bought and sold by force. Later on, they were not satisfied and earned that little bit of money. Then, they occupied the empty space in the neighborhood. At that time, we rode motorcycles and tricycles when we went out. We usually left them outside our house for free. However, those people said that the empty space below our house was not ours. If we wanted to park, we had to pay the fee. Later on, they went even further. They set up an interception at the door and said that we had to prove that we were from here before we could enter, but how could we prove it? They asked each of us to get a residence permit from them. It had our names and ages written on it. We also had to write our profession to prove that we were good citizens…”
Helena’s eyes widened in shock. “No way? No one called the police for something like this?”
The granny said angrily, “Those people were very fierce, ruthless, and cunning. At that time, no one could control them.” The neighborhood lived aggrievedly under their oppression. Many people quit their jobs to petition to bring them down. In order to establish an imposing air, those men actually captured the old people, women, and children…
“They were locked up in Block Seven.” Granny looked at the building.
Amelia, Emma, William, and Harper couldn’t help but feel nervous. They asked, “And?”
The granny glanced at them and finally said, “Then, everyone fought with them. In order to intimidate these people who resisted, those people killed the old, the children, and the women.” The granny’s eyes gradually turned turbid. “They didn’t even let the children off. That night, a total of 30 people died!” Later on, when the matter blew up, the men were finally captured and imprisoned.
Helena muttered, “No way… This is too exaggerated. Thirty people died… It’s too hard to believe…” How could there be such a tragedy in a society ruled by law!
The granny pursed her lips. “Isn’t that so? It was too hard to believe, so no one dared to believe it. Until they went to court, those people were quibbling. They said that 30 people were simply nonsense. How could they dare to kill so many people? Later on, the evidence was placed in front of them. Those animals actually changed their words and said that they were trying to educate their disobedient younger brothers. They said that they were family with the people in the neighborhood. Those petitioners were their younger brothers. They were heartbroken that their younger brothers were lost, so they wanted to educate us. Unexpectedly, they accidentally caused a tragedy.”
At this point, Granny couldn’t help but laugh sarcastically.
Amelia’s melon seeds fell from her hand. She was not in the mood to pick them up anymore and could not help but frown..
