Auntie Sun indeed was quite the fighter, from her voice it is evident that there are more than two well-trained Elder Sisters-in-law arguing against her on the other side.

In this one versus two situation, Auntie Sun showed no signs of weakening.

If they argued logically, she would scold.

If they scolded, she would make a scene.

Auntie Sun: "Your father isn't my husband, we're not legally married, you're expecting me to serve him, you're all daydreaming!”

The old man's children: “My father has been living with you, he spent all his money on you, now he is sick, and you want to abandon him, this is abandonment, it is illegal!”

Auntie Sun: “I beg of you to understand the law a little more, your father has nothing to do with me, you are his biological children, you want to push him onto me, a stranger, you ungrateful children are the ones abandoning him, believe it or not, I'll call the police on you!”

The old man's children: “How can you have nothing to do with my father, you've spent all of my parents' savings of over half a million, now you claim to have no relations with my father, first return the money my father spent on you!”

The argument continued over the hot pot, making everyone gasp. Although they grew up with silver spoons in their mouths, they understood that for ordinary people, half a million may be a lifetime of savings.

Especially for the elderly, half a million is a lot, earned by living frugally, saving from the smallest expenses.

It's no wonder the old man's children are angry. Even outsiders are angry.

Their mother suffered with the old man all her life, saving money that the old man had spent on outsiders.

The argument between Auntie Sun and the old man's children continued.

“You can't just blame me, your father gave me money because I was a nanny taking care of him. It was my legal income. Moreover, the salary your father paid me certainly doesn't add up to half a million.”

She glanced around at the old man's children and raised her voice to say, “It's possible that one of your children has spent the old man's money but doesn't want to pay it back, so he's trying to push the blame onto me. Anyway, your father can't speak now, everything is up to you.”

Even from a bystander's point of view, everyone felt that Auntie Sun's argument seemed reasonable.

With the old man unable to speak, who could guarantee that his children hadn't seized the opportunity to scam? Their words were also not wholly convincing.

However, they did trust Duan Yaojing's words, she was Auntie Sun’s neighbor after all, having interacted with Auntie Sun, she should be more aware of Auntie Sun’s character.

Afraid to disrupt the argument outside, everyone eating barely dared to make a racket.

But the voices outside reached a conclusion that nobody expected. The arguing slowly died down to silence.

All they heard was a bang, as Auntie Sun locked the old man's children outside the door.

The old man's children were naturally unwilling to leave and pounded on the door.

The anti-theft door was sturdy, the old man's children hurt their hands knocking, but Auntie Sun did not open the door.

With heavy footsteps receding, leaving behind only silence outside.

Everyone glanced at each other, questioning each other with their eyes, wondering whether the old man's family had left.

But nobody dared to go outside to check, fearing the old man's family hadn't left yet, the consequent awkwardness would be unbearable.

[That camera should not have been installed on the balcony, it should have been installed outside the door]

[Otherwise we could see what's happening outside now]

Everyone: Even though you've spoken our mind, didn't you forget that you brought the camera in order to catch the pervert?

Dipping their spoons in the boiling red soup, everyone was in a trance. At this moment, Fu Huixing stood up, "I'll go out and buy some drinks."

Spicy food sure requires a lot of drinks, Duan Yaojing’s milk tea has already been consumed earlier.

Shi Li raised her hand like a primary school student, "It's probably too heavy for you to carry alone, let me go with you."

After she finished talking, without waiting for Fu Huixing's answer, she put on her down coat and followed him out the door.

【Hehehe, I get to go out and see firsthand, I'm such a cunning little fox】

Shi Li was about to give herself a thumbs-up for her quick reaction. She is really smart, really.

As all eyes were on her, Shi Li boldly pushed the door open.

There were no traces of elderly father and daughter outside the door, except for an additional wheelchair at Auntie Sun's door, a skinny old man half-reclined on it.

This was not something anyone expected.

【Oh my God, the old man's children just dumped their father at Auntie Sun's door. They truly don't care.】

Shi Li's realtime commentary accurately conveyed the situation outside the door to everyone inside the house.

Although everyone had not witnessed it firsthand, they well understood the situation through Shi Li's description.

Shi Li and Fu Huixing walked one after another to the first floor and saw the elderly parent with their children craning their necks and peeping upwards at the building entrance.

They were dressed quite simply, looking just like hardworking laborers struggling with life.

The campus of the University is quite large; it took a quarter of an hour to walk from the residential area to the student living quarter.

Stepping out of the warm house, Shi Li felt the chilly wind pierce through her.

She quickened her pace, however, due to her unfamiliarity with the route, she took quite a few detours.

The time they spent going back and forth and selecting drinks and ingredients in the supermarket took more than an hour.

Fu Huixing was carrying the heavy drinks, Shi Li was carrying some ingredients.

Duan Yaojing didn't quite grasp the appetite of the young men, the food she prepared had already been consumed.

Everyone was here to take a free meal, they all felt embarrassed to ask for more.

After the two left, the class monitor secretly messaged Fu Huixing to buy more ingredients which could be cooked in the hot pot.

Shi Li and Fu Huixing were not very familiar with each other, yet Shi Li couldn't hold back her inquisitive nature, she couldn't help but discuss the situation with him on the way back home.

"Do you think once we go back upstairs, will the old man still be at the neighbor's door?"

"We'll know it after we go back." Fu Huixing moved the drinks from one hand to the other one, and asked Shi Li to hand over the bag she was carrying to him.

Shi Li wasn't a selfish person to put all the heavy stuff on him alone.

In her mind, Shi Li sarcastically commented,【Of course, I know we will find out when we will go back. What's the harm in discussing it rationally?】

【No wonder he couldn't be the protagonist, If it was Feng Yunhe...】

The moment Shi Li mentioned Feng Yunhe, Fu Huixing’s back stiffened.

【If it were Feng Yunhe, he would have told me, 'why should you care, mind your own business'】

Well, Shi Li gave up the argument.

As they were nearing Duan Yaojing's apartment, Fu Huixing finally spoke up, "I think probably, the old man would have been taken away by his children."

As the rowdy noises from upstairs echoed at the front of the stairwell, Shi Li cocked an eyebrow at Fu Huixing, her eyes clearly saying, you guessed wrong.

It was only when she arrived at the second floor that Shi Li realized, Fu Huixing had somehow guessed right.

Although there was another quarrel upstairs, and it once again involved Auntie Sun,

but, swear to heaven, the old man wasn't standing at the door.

The person arguing with Auntie Sun was new to the scene, not the faces Shi Li had spotted when she had taken the stairs down.

The spectacle at Auntie Sun's place had successfully moved from a war of words to a full-blown physical altercation.

An old woman, fighting off two middle-aged men -- quite an image, quite the spectacle.

How on Earth did we get here again? she wondered.

Luckily, it was winter and everyone was dressed in layers, else those two gentlemen would be stripped down to nothing by now.

Shi Li genuinely admired Auntie Sun for not being afraid to confront the two brutes.

At the sound of her voice, the students inside the apartment knew that she and Fu Huixing were nearby.

Being the quick-witted bunch, they charged out of the apartment to greet Fu Huixing and Shi Li.

The students who had raced outside had also been refreshingly met with the spectacle of the brawl.

The students who had bolted outside, left the door wide open, providing their comrade an opportunity to watch the fight live rather than hearing narrations of it.

Fu Huixing had already entered the apartment, but Shi Li was still trudging along, followed by the slower-moving students who had come out to greet Fu Huixing.

Once everyone had their fill and re-entered the apartment, closing the security door behind them, Shi Li found out why Auntie Sun was the focal point of this group.

Auntie Sun's late, legally-bound partner had left her the house in his will.

The son of the old man, unwilling to let an outsider inherit his family property, especially given that it was located in a prestigious school district with highly-rated schools.

Every so often, they'd visit to raise hell. And it had been going on for years.

Shi Li couldn't help but marvel at Auntie Sun's colorful life.

Duan Yaojing meekly defended himself, saying that though their place may be a bit run-down, it wasn't usually this chaotic.

“You guys just got lucky, catching two rounds.”

Of course, they just had to be lucky. They even had a pervert to catch tonight.

After dinner, everyone helped Duan Yaojing clear the mess and open the windows for ventilation.

After tidying everything up, Shi Li realized that no one seemed to be preparing to head home.

Of course, she wouldn't be the one to bring it up.

So, everyone gathered to either do homework, or game.

They all waited for the sacred moment of the night.

And finally, nearing dawn, the pervert showed up.

Their security camera software popped up a motion detection alert and everyone received the notification simultaneously.

Just as they were about to take their baseball bats out from their backpack, Shi Li got a headstart and let out a yell, awakening half the residents in the compound.

“Auntie Sun, someone's stealing your underwear!”
