After all that commotion, Aunt Zhu finally quieted down for a while.
It's said that there must be something hateful about a pitiful person. In just a few days, she started again.
During the Chinese New Year, everyone was on holiday, naturally every household was lively, but no matter how lively it was, it couldn't drive away the realities of life and death.
The mother of a homeowner in the neighboring unit suddenly died of a heart attack. She passed away before the ambulance could even arrive, leaving the family grief-stricken as they called the funeral home.
Death coinciding with the New Year, the atmosphere in their home was very somber.
When the staff arrived and prepared the body in less than five minutes, they carried it out. Upon leaving, they discovered that the stretcher that should have been neatly placed there had disappeared.
The funeral home's stretcher! Someone actually stole it!
The staff informed the family, which angered the son. A big, burly young man, he cried uncontrollably in front of everyone.
"Mom, it's all because I was unfilial, letting you leave, and now even the stretcher for carrying your body has been stolen!"
Here, if the body cannot be properly carried away after death, it means the deceased will face obstacles on their journey to the afterlife.
The man, with red eyes, immediately called the property management office.
He summoned the staff who were preparing for the New Year at home, gritting his teeth as he demanded to check the surveillance footage to find out who the culprit was.
Everyone was eager to see what was happening, quickly gathering around to watch. The son of the deceased even recorded the whole incident on his phone.
When I saw that stooped figure, I realized, wasn't this an old acquaintance?
I saw her slowly walking forward, passing by the stretcher. She lifted the stretcher when no one was looking, then, with one hand holding it and the other pushing open the unit door, she slipped into the neighboring unit.
Perhaps feeling guilty, she carried the not-so-light stretcher with one hand, while briskly walking with the other, swiftly heading towards the sixth floor.
We were all stunned by this sight.
Someone in the crowd shouted, "Isn't that Aunt Zhu?"
The son of the deceased quickly turned around, gritting his teeth, "Do you know her?"
The person was startled and quickly waved his hands, "No no no, I don't know her. She's the notorious scavenger in our community, always picking up trash and stealing packages. She's stolen things from others more than once..."
The son of the deceased clenched his fists, "I used to ignore her, but now she's targeted me. She won't let my mom rest in peace even after death. She's finished, she's finished!"
After saying that, ignoring the attempts to stop him, he pushed past the people in front of him and ran towards our unit.
Oh my, it looks like a tough situation.
While the property staff called the police, they asked us to gather around and watch, just in case something happened, as they would also be held responsible.
A large group of people rushed upstairs in a tumultuous manner.
