Chapter 1253: Go Find Yun Geming

A woman in her fifties looked at Mengyu: "Girl, this courtyard is yours, right?"

Mengyu nodded: "This courtyard is mine, but previously it was occupied by a family with the surname Yun. Ten days ago, my father and I asked them to move out within ten days. Today is exactly the tenth day, and I came to take over the courtyard, but when I arrived, I found it in this state, and the Yun family hasn’t come to hand it over."

Mengyu was about to cry.

The woman initially wanted to say that since the courtyard was Mengyu’s, and the house caught fire from Mengyu’s place, they were affected by Mengyu’s family and should be compensated by them.

However, just as she was about to mention compensation, Mengyu explained that the courtyard hasn’t been handed over yet.

Indeed, if the handover hasn’t happened until today, the courtyard technically wasn’t in Mengyu’s possession yet, so how could they ask her to compensate?

The woman’s words swirled around her tongue and changed: "Girl, then—your courtyard is in this shape now, what do you plan to do?"

"What to do? Yes, what should I do? My father already went to work in another province, so I’m home alone, and I was hoping to move in, but now, now—"

Mengyu’s face showed a mix of grievance and anxiety, with tears welling up. She said, "You all tell me, what should I do?"

By the end, she was almost crying.

The people were waiting for her answer on what to do, but instead, she was asking them.

And she was such a pretty young girl; her not crying was already enough to evoke pity, and now her almost-crying made people even more hesitant to ask her for compensation.

Someone said to the woman: "Aunt Lin, don’t ask anymore."

Another person chimed in: "Since the courtyard hasn’t been handed over, the responsibility for the fire should fall on the old tenants."

Because the Yun family had moved out a week ago, but no one thought the responsibility should fall on the Yun family.

Now, hearing someone say this, the crowd seemed to have a breakthrough: Yes, why hadn’t we thought of this before?

"Yes, even if the Yun family moved out, the courtyard hasn’t been handed over, so it’s still considered in their hands.

Since it was burned while in their possession, the responsibility lies with the Yun family!"

"That’s right, the Yun family should take responsibility."

"We should go find the Yun family."

"Also, you, young girl, since your courtyard was burned under the Yun family’s possession, you should ask them to give you back a good courtyard."

"Yes, yes, ask them to return a good courtyard."

"And for us neighbors, several homes were burned or half destroyed; they should compensate us too."

"Right, right, let’s go find them!"

"Make them compensate!"

"Be careful, he’s an official."

"Who doesn’t know how he climbed up the ranks."

"Yeah, he’s just someone who rode on coattails."

"Heard he loves to give gifts."

...

Those who previously suspected the Yun family of intentionally burning the courtyard were now shouting, saying the Yun family should compensate Mengyu with a good courtyard.

Even those who were initially demanding compensation from Mengyu’s family now shifted their focus to the Yun family.

When someone raised their arm and called out, "Go find the Yun family!" everyone immediately agreed, shouting and following that tall person.

Clearly, the Yun family was not favored in this community.
