Chapter 45: How many times is this this month!

This is a slogan that many people are familiar with, except that here, "familiar" can actually be used in a "derogatory sense."

Because it can be remembered by so many people, it relies on that extremely brainwashing advertisement, which can be called a classic in the history of modern marketing!

And as everyone knows, any brainwashing advertisement, song, or movie line has one effect: as long as you hear it, you will involuntarily remember it.

Even those brainwashing songs, you will inexplicably find yourself unable to help but hum a couple of lines...

For example, "The vast horizon is my love, flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green mountains..."

And Xu Yufeng naturally could not escape it, especially when she was already very tired and wanting to sleep.

Suddenly having such a sound, and it just kept repeating that one sentence over and over, accompanied by that classic advertisement music, that feeling...

Just imagine it: those stinky and long advertisements you saw on TV during your childhood, repeated many times, the kind that makes people want to smash the TV!

And now, it's probably just that feeling magnified several times over...

Xu Yufeng sat straight up from the bed.

"Are you sick, not sleeping in the middle of the night!"

After cursing, she fiercely slammed the wall twice, but unfortunately, it was useless.

After all, the other side was just a speaker with the time and sound set.

Originally, being woken up when one is very tired at night is already irritating, and coupled with Xu Yufeng's bad temper, she simply couldn't hold it in anymore.

She rushed all the way to the living room, and before she could say anything, she heard sounds coming from all directions; judging by the sound, they were all this same sentence...

"Accept a gift my foot! Are you going to let people sleep or not!"

As she spoke, her son, daughter-in-law, and Xiao Sun had already come out of the bedroom next door; after all, it was night, everything was silent, and at such a time, this kind of sound simply couldn't be ignored.

A bunch of people stood in the living room; Xiao Sun, Rui Rui, was rubbing his eyes. He was very mischievous during the day and slept well at night, but under these circumstances, he really couldn't sleep.

"Grandma, Grandma, the sound is too loud, I can't sleep."

Beside them, Zhao Xun suppressed that feeling of irritation and looked around, finally returning to say: "Mom, this sound seems to be everywhere; it's upstairs, downstairs, and on both sides."

Xu Yufeng comforted her grandson and then said: "Let's go out and ask what's going on in the middle of the night."

Zhao Xun hesitated and said: "But it's so late, it wouldn't be appropriate for us to knock on people's doors..."

"How is it not appropriate!" Xu Yufeng glared: "We're neighbors; it's so late and the sound is so loud that we can't even sleep. Who can take responsibility if it delays Rui Rui's growth?"

Zhao Xun had nothing more to say; he walked out the door to look around, then still said: "How about we ask Liu Nainai first?"

Xu Yufeng didn't speak, indicating her silent agreement.

There were many neighbors around, but the easiest one to talk to was naturally Liu Nainai.

The old lady was usually kind to others, enthusiastically helping with anything and taking care of others.

Since she was easy to talk to, they definitely had to find someone easy to talk to; at the very least, Liu Nainai wouldn't lose her temper just because they knocked on her door so late...

No problem there!

Zhao Xun stepped forward and knocked on the door with normal force three times, waiting for a long while with no response.

"Eh? Liu Nainai must be sleeping very soundly."

So he knocked on the door a few more times, this time using a lot of force, but unfortunately, there was still no response.

Under normal circumstances, no response to knocking would mean either the person wasn't home or they were sleeping very deeply, so one should try another house.

It was just a pity that among the neighbors, Liu Nainai was the easiest to talk to; with anyone else, Zhao Xun wouldn't dare knock on the door with such force at this hour...

Seeing there was no response and her grandson was yawning again, Xu Yufeng couldn't hold back; she stepped forward and began to pound on the door forcefully, shouting as she did so: "Grandma Liu, come out for a moment, the sound in your house is a bit loud!"

A minute passed, five minutes passed, and still no response.

"Could it be that Liu Nainai went out?" Zhao Xun said with some hesitation.

With the commotion his mother just made, let alone Liu Nainai, who had sharp ears, even someone slightly hard of hearing would have been able to hear it.

"Forget it, let's go downstairs and see!"

If the easiest person to talk to wasn't there, then they definitely had to find the one they had a grudge against.

If they were going to have a fight, it was definitely better to fight with the one they had a grudge against.

However, this time, even though Zhao Xun had almost pounded his hand red, there was no response from inside.

"What's going on? Is this brat not home either?"

There was no other way, so they went to knock on other doors; soon, all the houses upstairs and downstairs had been knocked on, but there was no response from any of them.

Now Xu Yufeng was truly furious; connecting this to the fact that there seemed to be sound coming from all four directions of her home, oh, so they were ganging up to bully her!

Needless to say, these families must all be there, and they were right inside their homes!

Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence!

How could that sound suddenly be coming from all directions of her home, and suddenly all these neighbors had gone quiet.

Xu Yufeng would absolutely not think of other possibilities, such as these families suddenly moving away...

First, she hadn't seen anyone moving, and second, she knew the ins and outs of these families, especially someone like Liu Nainai, who had nowhere else to go.

Liu Nainai's son was abroad, and she had no other relatives; usually, it was just the old couple, and they had lived here for so many years, so how could they suddenly move away?

"Come out! What are you all doing? What did our family ever do to you, huh, to make you treat us like this, to trample on people like this? Come out, don't hide!"

It was just a pity that no matter how Xu Yufeng cursed in the hallway, there wasn't the slightest movement from anyone.

"Call them, hurry up and call them!" Xu Yufeng shouted.

Zhao Xun took out his phone and said: "Call who?"

"Call whoever among the neighbors you have the number for!"

Zhao Xun shook his head and said: "Mom, I don't have anyone's number..."

After all, he was a younger generation, and his relationship with these neighbors was just greeting them when they met.

Hearing this, Xu Yufeng wanted to say something, but didn't, because she didn't have them either...

Back then, the family downstairs moved away because of her family's actions; although they didn't say anything out of neighborly courtesy, the relationship had plummeted directly.

"Then call the person in charge, the Property Management or the Community Office or something, yes, the Property Management; aren't they the fastest to run over when it's time to collect fees? They can't just ignore this!"

Property Management... Zhao Xun dialed the number for the Property Management, and obviously, no one answered.

In theory, the Property Management should have a night shift, but the people on night shift aren't necessarily guarding the phone; they must have found a place to sleep.

"Mom, no one is answering..."

"What about the Community Office?"

"No one is answering there either..."

After all, it was very late; compared to that time with Zhou Yi before, this time it was already past one o'clock, nearing two.

"Fine, they're so proactive when it comes to collecting money, but when something happens and we need them, no one is there to handle it. Wait until I go there tomorrow! You call the police now!"

Zhao Xun was stunned for a moment: "Mom, there's no need to call the police, right? Besides, what time is it? Shouldn't we just..."

"I told you to call the police! These people are ganging up to bully our family, and you're still talking back? Call the police for me!"

Whether or not the police would answer or come was not something that needed to be considered.

After the other side asked clearly that it was a case of someone disturbing the peace, they said that officers would be dispatched very soon.

After waiting for quite a while, downstairs at the Small Residential District, Lao Li, who had brought his apprentice, looked up at the building, his mood very stable.

"How many times has this been this month..."

The first update is here. After all, it's Saturday, no need to go to work. I had something to do and went out in the morning, came back at noon, and updated immediately. There will be four updates today, and this is the first one.
